Ok, Childe as a wuxia/xianxia trope. It's honestly a bit embarrassing how well this fits.

(blame @a-yarn-of-purple-prose for this post and if anyone here is a wuxia fan feel free to correct me, I'm new to the genre)

Wuxia is a Chinese martial arts fantasy genre you are all familiar with. An adjacent genre is called xianxia, "immortal heroes", it ramps all the fantasy elements up to eleven and skews tropes a bit (we'll get back to that).

A common trope is some kind of unorthodox school/sect or technique, allowing to achieve greater power without the usual decades of training. It could be straight-out evil or just revolving around chaos.

Such a martial school is usually called an evil/demonic sect (sect is more like a clan in that setting, not the modern concept of sect) and their techniques tend to drive practitioners to insanity. Either because they are inherently corrupting or because getting too much power without growing as a person is really not the best thing for your mental health. They are also often cast from hp points.

And then there's the archetype of a demonic sect heir. The best pupil or simply someone who has inherited a lost art. Proud, always greedy for more strength, often noble in some weird way.

*points to our calamity of a boy*

Common elements of such stories include:

Falling into some weird realm or meeting a weird person who teaches the hero a Forbidden Technique

Learning a technique too quickly through some sort of magic/alchemy/memory manipulation

Some people are so singular in their pursuit they become insane (走火入魔)

Ambition bad, loyalty and family good

Conflicting loyalties, generally a conflict between a chosen path and personal weaknesses/attachments (could be both ego and familal love, and this is more of a xianxia trope)

Fits like a horoscope so far but wait.

There's a very interesting case of Korean murim genre (their version of wuxia) where sects are less varied (I recommend this post for a basic introduction) and we get three paths:

Justice/Righteous/Orthodox/Light — theoretically they keep the Evil Faction at bay, and protect innocent people, but usually are corrupt to the core

Evil/Unorthodox/Dark — these try gaining as much power as possible and attempt ruling the whole world

Demonic Cult — usually dont take part in evil and justice battles, follow their own code of conduct based on their religion, value strength above all else.

(I'm sure there's a similar distinction in wuxia too, I just can't find it in the deluge of lore)

"Demonic" is closer to "pagan" or "heathen" than Christian idea of demonic here, their beliefs are often based on Zoroastrianism and worshipping a sacred flame. Do you remember all the Persian themes used for Khaenri'ah? And Surtalogi being the flame on Surtr's sword in Norse mythology. I also had the impression that Genshin gnostic references are based on the Zoroastrian-flavoured branch of Gnosticism.

In murim the trope of demonic sect heir is called "heavenly demon" (I believe, a more correct translation would be "supreme heathen"), they are utterly badass, live for the glory of battle, seem more like forces of nature and follow a very strict honour code often conflicting with normal human ethics.

(do I need to spell it out)

TvTropes also says this about Korean stories:

(do I need to spell it out pt.2)

I'm not sure why a Chinese studio would focus on the Korean version of this trope but I'm sure something like this exists in China as well or maybe there's a popular manhwa that inspired authors.

Xianxia extends the fantastic element further, focusing on Taoist concepts and practices and adding all kinds of magical realms (celestial, demonic, etc) and magical beings and making immortality achievable. I still need to read more about it but if I understand that right, demonic heir trope turns into a demon prince in this case. An actual visitor from the demon realm or a practitioner who achieved immortality through dubious means.

These are fae-coded in a way very similar to Childe and have a certain nonchalance towards things most humans would consider traumatic. They are simply not bothered by them, having a different set of morals or faring from a realm that is much worse.

Our boy isn't that (he's still very much human) but he's aesthetically coded like one, same as Scaramouche is yokai-coded, despite not being a yokai.

So. When people say Childe's arc is a reference to Journey to the West, it's not entirely untrue, JttW is the classic of xianxia genre and Childe does belong to the same genre. He, however, is not Sun Wukong but a different, darker trope.

This also explains why he has that "shonen anime protag but not quite" vibe. Shonen was heavily influenced by wuxia but this trope never quite made it to anime or maybe never became popular enough. It's not a deconstruction, it's a different story. Or perhaps a deconstruction of that different story.

#childe #tartaglia #my investigation into what the hell this boy is is concluded #this means I'll get to think about something else #many thanks to saoki for indulging my questions for the past two days #there's also an argument for childe being a demon princess rather than a prince but I'm tired #maybe I'll get back to it if anyone wants to meme together #genshin lore tumour #skirk #khaenri'ah #if abyss be thy name I pledge to you my loyalty #I'll need another post to explain how it fits into some scenes #this is already too long

why you should read Mystic Prince if you enjoyed ORV

Mystic Prince / Prince of Myolyeong (묘령의 황자) is a fantasy and action-adventure manhwa with art & story by Aheuredal (아흐레달) and in my humble opinion, an absolute hidden gem. it's literally one the best manhwas i've ever read (among the top 2) and i've finally gathered my thoughts enough to try to articulate why i love it so much, and hopefully convince you to give it a chance!

here's the official summary on webtoon:

An immortal emperor rules the Kingdom of Yeol, a divine country blessed by gods with awesome powers. After a thousand years of peaceful rule, the time has come for a new emperor to be chosen. This is determined by a series of trials, in which twenty princes with special powers who have trained since birth must compete. As all princes of varying personalities and agendas gather to partake in the trials, intrigue and possibly even bloodshed seem all but certain. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the other princes, the Fourth Prince Jeok-yeon Ryu hides a secret he must guard with his life.

anyway i literally made a carrd for this, that's how much i care about this manhwa and i worked very hard on it!! you can find the carrd here*

(* also if you hate daily pass like me pls note that there's a fan translation as well! just keep in mind that some episodes have ost but you can find the links to youtube on the carrd as well. but if you enjoy it please do try to leave likes, comments, and a good rating on webtoon to support the creator!)

Mystic Prince is incredibly unique in terms of story and execution that i can't really compare it to anything else but here's why i think you'll enjoy it, especially if you also liked orv:

strong-willed MC who's not naturally skilled but works extremely hard

said MC is willing to suffer and hurt themselves to achieve their goals (aka kim dokja-esque tendencies)

seemingly cold and aloof ML with yoo joonghyuk vibes at first, naturally gifted and seems to look down on everyone

...but is actually head over heels for MC and just doesn't know how to express his feelings

ensemble cast of incredibly complex and well-developed characters with different personalities and motivations

MC seems a little dense at times but they have a tragic backstory that explains why they're Like That

incredibly bisexual vibes !! like literally off the charts

slowburn romance that is cooking up such a great meal

MC and ML have actually known each other for centuries

characters go through trials that involve risking death

extremely unique lore and world-building

i said ML before but there are actually multiple potential MLs with how much complexity all the character dynamics have

beautiful character designs (literally over 10+ within the main cast and they're all so unique)

evocative writing and heartfelt monologues that seem taken out of a book of pure poetry

narratively significant motifs of fire and water (à la orv's black/white and reader/protagonist)

profound and realistic depiction of the inner feelings and troubles that the characters go through

incredibly heart-wrenching original soundtrack! (actually made me cry)

some of the most gorgeous art i've seen in any manhwa (seriously pls just open the 1st episode and look at the first few panels)

[spoilers below for chapter ~10]

delicious gender fuckery

MC is actually cross-dressing afab (i personally hc them as genderqueer; korean doesn't have gendered pronouns but the official tl uses she/her pronouns)

bonus: they're built like a fucking tank (as seen here) like hello??? which is so refreshing to see for an afab MC

plus they're also canonically lacking in empathy but still deeply compassionate which again is really refreshing

i'm sure there's even more stuff i'm forgetting but these are just some reasons off the top of my head why i think this manhwa is so amazing

please do give Mystic Prince a chance, it's an absolute delight!! there are multiple beautiful covers but here's a couple of them, BE ART BAITED <3

and finally some of my personal reactions to Mystic Prince and also a note regarding the content warnings under the cut!

feel free to skip this part lol but personally when i look for recs, i love when people tell me their emotional reactions and how passionate they are about it! so if this tells you anything,

this is the ONLY manhwa to have made me cry so far (yes that includes the orv webtoon, but not the novel ofc) like actually ugly sobbing with snot and tears and everything lmao

(it's not all sad though! this manhwa will have you clutching your heart one moment and then cackling out loud the next)

and it's also the ONLY manhwa i've ever spent actual money on before the fan tl picked it up just so i could read the advanced chapters (i'm notoriously cheap so this says a lot imo)

and i'm not alone in this, every other comment on webtoon is people saying the exact same thing. the general consensus is that this is 100% a hidden gem (webtoon DP my behated why'd you have to shoot yourself in the foot like that)

also regarding the content warnings on the carrd: this was my first time making a list of cws (i don't think anyone else has made one yet?) and i was a little hesitant to add them, so i sincerely apologize if i missed anything!! if anyone else has anything else to add (cws or otherwise) then please feel free to send me a message and i'll be happy to edit it!!

(btw this was inspired by this post which is also a great summary for why u should read a cnovel called mist unlimited)

[tokyo-debunkers-headcanons]

Eyoooo, thanks for answering my last ask!!! anyways, gotta new one for ya, same groups if ya able but with a really pretty/attractive mc s/o like manhwa mc level kinda pretty. I can imagine kaito being somewhere along the lines of 'they tossed me over their shoulder and I've been on it ever since' with a little touch of internal screaming. I just wanna see if any of the boys would be flustered or have their ego stroked with having a really pretty s/o -👾

Thanks for sending asks in fam! This will be fun since I have so many ideas for these boys!

JIN KAMURAI

Being honest, his ego is entirely stroked by an attractive MC.

The one thing he finds a pain in the ass is all the gossip. He's always hearing some baseless rumor that someone is cheating or MC got surgery done or whatever.

It pisses him off to hear people talk about his beautiful/handsome partner like that.

Whenever he gets the chance to show MC off, he does and he makes sure their outfits are to DIE for.

Congrats! MC will most likely be spoiled with a new fancy wardrobe. (He would do this with any serious partner but it's AMPLIFIED with an extra attractive MC)

Whatever they need for their skincare or whatever routine they need. He'll take care of it. Just give him a list and he'll get someone on it ASAP.

TOHMA ISHIBASHI

The ego boost this man gets! OH MAH GOD!

He's not shy and he knows what he's about so he's not necessarily flustered, but he's definitely proud to land such an amazing looking partner.

A lot of others start referring to MC as royalty once they start dating, they start it sarcastically of course but when Tohma hears it, he flips it right on its head.

I mean like, using it to fluster MC: bowing, taking their coat, carrying things, etc (again, he'd be doing that stuff anyways) but he would take the time to fluster MC at the same time.

What i mean is like kissing the back of their palm and whispering against their skin something along the lines of,

"Only the best for my Prince/my Princess/ your Majesty/etc"

KAITO FUJI

Kaito does not know how the hell he got here with them but he doesn't give a single fuck.

He will spend the first part of this new relationship in all of the self doubt, because In his mind, this could be a prank or some kind of mistake. But when MC shows him that, no baby girl this isn't a mistake..? Mans here thinks he's died and that MC really is his guardian angel.

He will try to spend what money he has to try and spoil them how he thinks they deserve. He's just really trying his best.

When Frostheim throws their fancy ass balls, Kaito is BEAMING with pride. Yeah, he's on the arm of the best looking person here! Eat it!

And when they dance with him, there is so much internal screaming going on. He's worried he's gonna mess up and make MC look dumb, but with some time he'll loosen up and have some fun.

LUCAS ERRANT "LUCA"

Okay, another one with gossip. But its surprising not about the relationship itself. Its about each individual.

I think Luca and MC have separate fan clubs. I'm sure We've all seen that Luca has fans at the school. an extra attractive MC for sure has one too.

It all started with the two fanclubs talking shit about the other and spreading rumors. Like the usual rumors about cheating, or about how they don't deserve the other, etc.

However, there is a small part in each club that joined forces to try and spread gossip to break them up.

Ofc it doesn't work, Luca and his partner trust each other and do their best to communicate, so it doesn't really effect the happy couple all too much. I mean if you're gonna be subjugating a demon together, there's a LOT of mutual trust going on there.

ALAN MIDO

Alan would be a bit more protective of his partner, because in his experience (*cough cough* LEO *COUGH*) more attractive people, aren't really fighters.

If and when MC manages to prove themselves capable in a fight, he'll back off a little bit, but he'll still be a little protective.

He'd try to do things he thinks MC would like, that he's not the most comfortable with. Like fancier dates, dressing up, going out, etc.

If MC wants to squash that, they gotta do it RIGHT AWAY, since in his mind, they're more attractive so they've gotta like the fancier stuff...right?

SHOHEI HAIZONO "SHO"

Sho is a guy who will take them out for rides on Bonnie (his bike) but he doesn't really care about their appearance.

Sure its a plus and all, but he doesn't care if their hair looks really good today, they're wearing a damn helmet when they go on rides.

He figures MC knows their stuff when it comes to appealing design, so he values their opinion on his project (those who know, know). He takes all their critiques on the chin and does his best to listen.

its still his so he won't let them change it entirely, but he'll for sure keep it in mind.

LEO KUROSAGI

Okay if you think Luca and Jin fans were wildin, Leo's fanclub is WAY worse.

To start off, Leo will do small things with MC. Probably not show their amazing face too much.

It's a mix between wanting to keep things as private as possible and keeping them all to himself.

The internet being the internet, someone eventually got a pic of them together and people figured out that MC was this mysterious partner that Leo has been hiding.

Once the secret is out, he's full on bringing them into his content, like get ready with me's, matching outfit checks, etc.

On the down side, there's a LOT of MC haters out there. Leo typically ignores those comments, he figures their just jealous (of him or MC im not sure)

But if anyone even TRIED to threaten or do his MC. they're done. Their reputation might as well be in the trash. Leo is absolutely not above blackmailing someone to get what he wants so good luck to whoever fucked up that bad.

[rouecentric]

Hello! Your posts are really fun and enjoyable to read. If you don't mind, may I ask Platonic yandere Florentia and Perez from I shall master this family manhwa? Maybe a little romantic yandere Gallahan? Thanks in advance ^ω^

WFHQFJEWGEWGW- HELLO?? i'm a big fan of your writing!! thank's for reading my posts, two platonic yanderes and one romantic yandere is on the way! <3

now how did you even get a prince and a daughter of the infamous lombardy family attached to you??? AND a respectful and puppy-like father having a crush on you?? damn you must be special

-You have worked in the Lombardy dukedom ever since Beatrice was pregnant with Florentia, being her personal maid and both a voluntary library assistant, taking care of her was your top priority as well as hanging out with her whenever she has free time

-Well, you were bound to be acquaintances with Gallahan as he was her fiancee, although not being seen as one by his family

-Although only being officially as her maid, you taught yourself both swordsmanship and archery in case the lady was ever in danger or in an uncomfortable situation

-When Beatrice died during labor, successfully giving birth to Florentia, Rulac gave you some time to take care of the baby, as one of Beatrice's last words were to assign you as Florentia's godmother

-After that, the head assigned you a new job, requiring you to go work with the imperial family, becoming one of the second prince's maids

-Although you left, you wrote letters to Gallahan regarding Florentia and how she's doing, sometimes going as far as to sending gifts that you thought she'd like

-Despite working under the empress, you disregarded her ordering the staff to slowly poison Perez, instead you started growing crops and vegetables in a nearby place but hidden well enough to be hard to notice, as well as foraging for various berries and edible mushrooms to cook or boil for the second prince to eat without other's knowing, as well as making random medicines from a book you read back in the lombardy dukedom

-Thankfully, no one caught you, making the prince get healthier overtime, but you had to ask him to pretend that he was still sick, promising to give him candy by the end of the day, which worked!

-Your friendship with the second prince, Perez, is seen as rather tight knit, with him either calling you by your nickname, or in rare cases, mom, he started saying it more after his own mother died

-I mean, why wouldn't he? You practically raised him together his mother, you even tried nursing her back to health! You told him that you wouldn't leave him! He's really dependant on you, but won't you let him do that in his crumbling childhood? No one here is on his side, except the kind and loveable you

-When he first met Florentia, you two were foraging in the forest, disguising it as the prince wanted to go outside, but you were hiding between the trees when the young lady introduced herself, then going to the prince right before they could end their conversation

"Well thank you, miss Florentia, for taking care of Perez for me," you announced, standing beside the boy, handing out a white envelope to her "Bring this to Gallahan when the two of you are back home." you ordered.

Before Florentia could say anything, there were shouts from the front, seemingly looking for the young Lombardy. So she said her goodbye's and went back, hiding the letter from everyone.

.

.

When they were back home, Florentia tugged on her father's, Gallahan's, hand.

"Do you need anything, tia?" the older man asked, looking at her with a happy expression, but that soon changed to one of an apalled face when the younger Lombardy gave him a letter, immediately recognizing who it's from because of the stamp.

He rather quickly took the envelope from Florentia, saying a quick 'thank you' before going to his room, seemingly going to open it.

-After that, you waited while taking care of the young prince to the best of your abilities, telling him stories you made up on the spot whenever he had a hard time sleeping, even sometimes singing a lullaby if it seems he has a nightmare

-But after multiple weeks, Florentia and her grandfather, Rulac, went to the front of the second prince's living place outside, talking just outside the door. So you and the prince immediately went outside, greeting the head of the Lombardy dukedom while Perez ran up to Florentia and hugged her

-When the prince was given an actual palace and finally acknowledged by his father, it was time for you to go back to the Lombardy dukedom, as your job here was finished, of course, Perez first tried to argue with you that you were his maid, but the palace already had every worker they needed, leading you to resign from being Perez's maid, which practically broke his heart, how could you? Why are you throwing him away? Was he not good enough?

-Of course, you weren't swayed by his attempt at manipulating you, and so you went back to the Lombardy dukedom, becoming Florentia's guard due to your immense power and knowledge in swordsmanship and archery

-When you fully introduced yourself as her mother's ex-maid, her godmother AND her bodyguard, safe to say Florentia was not only at awe, but shocked!

-Gallahan was overjoyed when you returned back to the dukedom, happy to see that everything went well, but what he won't be happy about is you teasing him

-As the godmother of Florentia, you gained a habit of spoiling her, anything she looks at for longer than four seconds will be brought to her bedroom on her table

-Because of how close the two of you became, Tia became rather quickly obsessed with you! She's constantly singing praises about how strong and talented you are, comparing other staff members to you as if you're the standard! She want's others to know how amazing you are! and trust me, they will listen, no matter what time it is or what's currently happening, you're top priority

-Now let's go back to you and Gallahan

-Although he can be serious and intimidating at times, he's usually soft and submissive(sobbing) like a puppy, so you always take that to your advantage whenever you want to harmlessly tease him, of course, his face always heats up, looking like a tomato and starts rapidly stuttering

-But don't be discouraged, he really likes it! Even though he wishes he could do the same to you back, it always backfires with you returning the teasing!

-From teasing to him staring at you for long amounts of time whenever you're in the same room as him, seemingly dazed

-Florentia, as always, catches on and decides to help her father, as she always wanted you to be her other parent, so, she drops hints! Like how nice that hairstyle fits you! "those colors look stunning on you today (nickname), right, dad?"

-Basically does anything in her power to get her father to realise his feelings

-But he realised them when he was sick, because you took care of him, not caring if it makes you sick in the end

-Once he realises it, Gallahan gets protective over you, he absolutely dislikes it if any other man is looking at you and tries to hide you from their view with his body

-Another thing that changes with Gallahan is that he gets clingier, basically, get the number of how much he was clingy, but duplicate it a thousand times

-He has multiple pages of you in various wedding dresses he prepared ifwhen you two get married

-Did I mention that he daydreams about you?

-Once you and Gallahan get married, prepare to not be able to leave your chambers, I'm not joking

[luismagician]

hii could you please recommend some completed isseiki manhwas/mangas?

Sure bb Let's Go♡

Completed isekai manhwas recommendation:

1. Virtues of Villainess.

One of the cutest couple ever *-* Art, story, MC are all cute, funny and enjoyable. I suffered from second male lead syndrome in this manhwa and I was dumbfounded about how stupid the "real" villainess was but again it was a simple and lovely story.

2. As You Wish, My Prince!

I loved ittt and I'm kinda sad it isn't that popular among isekai fans. it's so realistic! Like you feel how it truely feels like when you enter the novel you wrote and all of your choices comes back to you but you have to survive somehow. Anyway story is more focused on MC and ML trying to fight against their own destiny and accidently falling in love. Some dramatic accidents were too much but stil good read.

3. Light And Shadow

MC = Queen. That's all I'm gonna explain about this manhwa. Just alittle sidenote, after first chapters you're gonna think ML is a tr*sh but he is just a stupid war-maniac so don't worry.

4. Why Are You Doing This Duke?!

Side stories were making me more flustered than main story lol. MC is shy, stupid and cute at the same time and ML is tsun trying to fight with some magic curse which makes him so cheesy. That's the summary :)

5. Doctor Elise

MC is one of the most hardworking MCs out there. She was doctor in prev life and in her second chance she does everything she can so her family can survive and live well. All men fell in love with her bc she invents the whole medical system lol but ML is the hottest. (Maybe her older bros are the hottest.)

6. Villainess In Love

Need a reason to read?! ISHID. This man is the finest ML you can find in this whole world. He is cute, hot, wild and innocent at the same time. MC is mature enough to handle him so don't worry lol. Still waiting for sidestories.

7. Villain's Savior

In first chapters MC cries like 24/7 and it gets annoying like "girl stop crying for 1 sec" but later in story, the reason behind it was revealed so ig it's okay now. Anyway art is 💯 and ML is obsessed with MC and he isn't innocent at all. So prepare yourself for wild ride lol.

8. Beware Of the Villainess

I love how Melissa treats MLs in the story. She slaps them hard with FACTS. She is strong, funny, reasonable and QUEEN. Anyway find someone who looks at you like how Nine looks at her.

9. Miss Not-so Sidekick

If you have been following me and my posts, you def know my fav manhwa as I mention it ALOT lol. One of the funniest, most enjoyable manhwas out there is this one. Author never fails to make you laugh and artist does know how to deaw memes. MC makes everything funny and ML becomes fan of this ability ^^

10. The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up

ML is obsessed and MC tries to run away all the time to test how obsessed he truely is. That's my summary.

And that's it for now. I hope you enjoy reading all of them and do tell me your thoughts after you're done with them♡

Do you guys want me to explain or simply put manhwas' covers and their title for recommendation post?!

[ultramarine-spirit]

What you said in your previous post about manhwas reflecting the thinking of Korean autoreas is so true!! it's frustrating because people analyze it with their western mentality and throw so much hate without bothering to try to understand the story. There are many things that I have noticed in the manhwa that are very different from things in the west (for example, the FL is always compared to an angel or a fairy lol) but something that caught my attention is that in the west it is It is very common that when we talk about an 'empowered woman' it is a woman who is good at physical fights, with super powers or good at using weapons with sarcastic personalitys and other things, while in manhwas (there are women like that too, of course) but something they have that the americans movies don't usually show is that the women here are very good at studying. That surprised me (and I liked it) because it is not very common to see women who work hard in the studios and enjoy it in USA movies, but they do in manhwas. One of the few movies that reflects this is legally blonde (and it's one of the best movies out there) plus I have a great love for academically validated female characters, they are literally my favorites in any story so reading that Athy really enjoyed studying made me fall more in love with her. Also when FLs have to act cute in order to survive, fans often throw so much hate at them saying they are irritating or ridiculous but they don't take the time to think that there are many ways to be a great female character without always using weapons, I have a great hatred for the term "soft fl" it seems too misogynistic to me that they are thrown down for that reason but waiting for the manhwa community to realize that is going to take a long time.

Another thing I remember is that in the novel Athy had many modern thoughts that surprised me, like when they talked a little about Korean society and I could feel a criticism of this or the things she said when some men harassed her and Jennette or when some men Men said that she would be happier married to a prince instead of being the next empress and she was very upset by her. Also when in his debut he said "one thing I learned is that boys have to look like boys and ladies look like ladies" (this stuck with me because it made me think of oversexualizing young children but maybe I'm overanalyzing it) There are many interesting things in the wmmap novel that people take out of context.

Another thing I've noticed is that in the East it's more typical to see this kind of "sunshine" girls who are sweet and cheerful, very kind, literally the kind of people that everyone loves and in manhwas they get so much hate, it's hateful. It's also not common to see this type of girls in the west and if they are, they are always hated. Ruby from How to get my husband on my side is truly one of the strongest female characters out there and is always looked down on just because she is softer compared to the other girlboss leads. Athanasia is a character who seems to be on the lookout for between these two terms but he still gets criticized for not having acted in a more "evil" way it's funny because the scene of Athy facing the nobles and then Anastascius screamed more power to me than many scenes I've seen in movies or series.

I just want to clarify that I love my villainous girls, medea and roxana are really amazing and I enjoyed women who do morally bad things, marianne, Cosette, soleia, I love them all. But I genuinely hate how they look down on 'soft fl'

The thing is, there are a lot of things in the novels/manhwas that I feel are critical or stereotypical of them that more western minded people take too much out of context and it's too frustrating, some people have a hard time understanding which does not have to be from their point of view.

sorry for all the rant lmao, i didn't mean to make it so long, it's just that this is one of my big problems with the manhwa community 😭

Have a good day!

Don't worry for the rant, anon! I think similarly to you as well.

I'm in the position that, while I live in a country that geographically and politically could be considered "the west" (what a long conversation that is lmfao), my culture doesn't perfectly align with "western" values and ideas. So when I see people sending hate towards manhwa, I notice how they often analyze them exclusively from their personal point of view and own biases, not realizing that asian media is very different from western media. I don't know if this is a problem of media literacy or it's that people think less of asian media as a whole. Hopefully it's the former.

But yes, most manhwas reflect korean values! Shocking, I know. Perhaps people get blinded by the western settings, but even if the characters "don't look" asian, they were made by an asian author, so obviously they reflect asian ideas and values. In that sense, they are asian characters. A similar discourse happens with anime and danmei/xianxia novels.

I think western readers have an easier time liking "girlboss" FLs and revenge fantasy stories because those are more common on this side of the world. But they struggle with more nuanced stories where the FL is not perfect, she does not solve everything with schemes or being a badass, is "weak", or (heaven forbid!) is able to forgive a family that hurt her in the past. This is the main criticism Athy gets, the fact that she was able to love Claude. I truly don't understand how people decide to even read WMMAP if they are so opposed to that idea, because that's the heart of WMMAP's story. Family holds a much bigger importance on the east compared to the west's individualistic idiosyncrasy, so of course most asian stories that touch the topic of family won't end in "if your family wronged you, fuck them". From where I'm from, family is also regarded as very important, so I can understand why a lot of manhwas are about rebuilding family relationships, not destroying them. And even then, you have plenty of revenge fantasies with cartoonishly evil families, so if that's what you prefer, you can read those.

Specifically korean media, it often touches topics like, generational trauma, misogyny, capitalism, etc. As you said, WMMAP addresses these things too in some way or another. I didn't think manhwa was particularly subtle as a medium (I know it's kinda ironic coming from me, but these are very simple stories, not Dostoevsky novels), but if people have trouble understanding the point of Parasite and Squid Game, then no wonder they can't pick up on these themes.

I'm not saying asian media or manhwas are above negative criticism. They have plenty of issues of their own. But if you are going to criticize something, you have to truly understand it, and reading anything disregarding cultural context or the own internal biases you may hold is at best foolish and at worst very ignorant. Western readers often have this mentality that all stories have to cater to them, when it's obvious that manhwas were made thinking of a korean public first and foremost.

(I dislike when people say Athy should have been more "evil". The whole point of her character is how her kindness and willingness to be empathetic with others and try to build honest relationships was what saved everyone. Villainesses AUs are fun, but when people truly say that Athy's character is weak because she chooses to feel love instead of hatred, because she is selfless instead of selfish- Why are you even reading WMMAP? And even then, she is far from "soft" and has plenty of "badass moments"...)

(News to me that Ruby gets hate, I thought she was the new manhwa darling. I stopped reading that series, but to me she was the best part of it by far. I think she is one of the only few good portrayals of a victim of physical abuse and ED in all manhwa. I have always disliked how those traits are just brushed aside as little things to endear the FL to the reader, but are never treated with the seriousness they deserve).

#personally im not a fan of 'super badass FLs that solve everything by just being girlbosses' cuz i feel like the author is trying to pander #to readers that like to self insert or live their fantasies through the FL. and its cool if thats your thing but its not mine #another extremely funny thing is how people lose their shit at pseudo incest manhwa (aka adopted siblings not raised together fall in love) #(and to be clear. i also dont like the trope but that's not my point) when- #pseudo incest and straight up incest are part of the western literary canon. a VERY prominent part if i might add #my point is that you may dislike the trope. that's fair. but often those criticisms read as 'eww this gross korean manhwa is so disgusting' #which... idk guys you might wanna think a little about how you interact with foreign media and how your biases might be affected by racism #just food for thought #anyways that's why i dont care about 'manhwa fandom'. i just wanna talk about wmmap with wmmap fans #wmmap #wmmap meta

9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

Augghh I love these games! thank you for tagging me Mickey 🥺🌸(@thisautistic)

3 Ships You Like :

1. Yohan/Moogyeong from The Shape of Your Love (manhwa by Park Nodeok)

this is my ultimate OTP. i never had OTPs before them. they'll be my rise and fall. but yeah, anyway. they. my boys.

2. Vegas/Pete from KinnPorsche The Series

they had me by the throat even before i knew kpts existed and just, well. then i watched kpts and found them and they were everything i hoped for and more. a lot of it is also because vegas and i are very much alike without the mass murder aspect 😂

3. Alan/Gaipa from Moonlight Chicken

listen, MLC is like, the best thing i've watched in a while and alangaipa gave me what i had been craving since yohan/moogyeong c. 2019 : a small rare/ghost ship with barely any screentime but that hooked people in worldwide. firstkhao's acting was just bonus. alangaipa represent everything that i want from my own life. i couldn't not love them.

First Ship Ever :

Kanata/Miyu from Da!Da!Da!

oh, these two. i was head over heels in love with them. i shipped them even when i didn't know that shipping existed or what it meant, when we didn't even have anime on TV besides the broadcast on SONY at 5pm sometimes. i just wanted them in love and happy and raising a kid together. ugh i miss them.

Last Song You Heard :

The Moon Represents My Heart, by the Moonlight Chicken cast! God do I love this song so much! It fits all the ships so well! The lyrics are gold! (I also recently found that this is a cover of the OG by Teresa Teng and that's even more beautiful??)

(also, this has been helping me visualize and write a lot of sand/ray, surprisingly enough.)

Favorite Childhood Book :

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

ahhh, well, this is embarassing. i didn't have a favourite book until adulthood actually. and it's my only favourite (as in something i've read time and again). i don't think i'll ever find another book like this one. this is it for me. nothing can ever top this. (yes, I'm very picky about my favourites lmao)

Currently Reading :

i found out this fic exists because of twitter discourse lmao, and I'm not even a dramione fan, i'll probably never read another work, but goddamn, the writing was stellar. lived up to all that hype. good stuff. (I'm almost at the end so wish me luck!)

Currently Watching :

Our Dining Table

no offence to those who love this, i loved the manga when i read it years ago, but lord was i bored to death even on the second trial at watching this lol. I'm soldiering on though, i'll get through this!

Currently Consuming :

Thai BLs

uhh... not sure what answer this demands actually, so, uhhh... lots of thai BL i guess? that's really what i've been consuming lately. i had never watched thai BLs before KPTS in 2023 so it's eye opening, they've gotten better ( i tried once before , quite a while back when a friend recommended, and i found it ridiculous so i never thought i'd actually ever watch any again lol, mostly because i never was a fan of live action BL dramas in general)

Currently Craving :

💵💵💵💵

well, i'll be honest here, money is vital and that's what I'm craving lol, i gotta feed myself and my cats and pay a 50k laptop repair bill that my company thrust on me even though it's not my fault it's damaged. anyway, essentially I'm experiencing financial doom among other unfortunate events, so here's your chance to commission a fic or donate at my KOFI so...... haha.

alright, this was super fun! I'm tagging @skyfish7 @semantics-error @justfionn @boyslovecorner @peachym00 @lilitblaukatz @ae-azile

(please feel free to ignore if you're feeling up to it!)

VADD stuff, in which I attempt to fix a few faults in the writings of the novel

Hello VADD fans of tumblr, welcome to this little series of mine where I attempt to fix a few wrongs within our favorite novel and manhwa of all, Villains Are Destined To Die.

This is Part 1 of idk-how-long-this-serie-will-last-but-most-likely-until-I-grew-bored

In this post, I will attempt to fix why Callisto, our favourite unhinged crown prince, is attracted to Penelope in the first place.

Because let's be honest, the real reason why that was stated (interestingness and "not like other noble girls" or sumshiet) in the novel is pretty...a big no

Note: This isn't to say the story was bad or anything. In fact I love it! But there's definitely a few things I'd like either removed or fixed and I'm sure plenty of you can agree

This is lazily done in one sitting so keep that in mind. And also the things I wrote in this post will lead up to season two of the manhwa

NOW ON WITH THE SHOOOWW!

Imma throw this outta the way to make this clear. Callisto was not captivated by Siyeon!Penny's looks, only when she "confessed her love" to him.

Hearing them made Callisto dumbfounded, enough to pull him out of his stupor and lift his mood a bit because for whatever reason hearing someone profess their "love" to him with his blade on their neck is hilarious (weird humor but okay)

He eventually pulled his blade out, pretending to buy her lies and asked why she fell for him. Of course no excuses worked at the time.

Callisto could just let Penelope be after that, saying he knew she was lying to save her life but won't kill her. However, she is the daughter of the Eckhart Duchy, with the Duke as head of the neutral faction. Having the Eclhart on his side essentially meant all the other houses in the neutral faction would side with him as well, giving him the support needed to secure his ascension to the throne as Emperor. Thus, Callisto gave Penelope some time to think about why she "fell in love" with him in the first place. A pretext that serves as an excuse for him to see Penelope again and reel in the Neutral faction to support him.

Fast forward to the hunting competition, Callisto met Penelope again. Callisto asked if Penelope had figured it out yet and you guys know what happened next.

Callisto was in quite a predicament then. How will he be supposed to gain more support to secure his ascension?

And then giant giant cutesy danger birbs. Then Penny being a BAMF. Then the culprits were revealed, Penelope asked for the children to be left under Winter's care and you know the drill by now.

Then we moved onto the actual hunting of the competition. Callisto showed up and teased Penelope about the pendant, with a goal in mind to try to be in her good grace somehow, despite the clear line she drew between them both. And also he does NOT know how to casually befriend someone.

But actually?

He found her company somewhat...okay?

He didn't know what to think of the "Mad Dog" of the rumors at the time, since he approached her with ulterior motives. But the company is much more tolerable compared to any other noblewomen, so he can appreciate that.

Then the cave scene.

When Callisto led them to safety in a random cave, he looked after Penelope until she woke up. During that time, he noticed just how...small...she was...

Figuratively and literally.

She was far too thin and frail, yet she managed to survive and shoot down the giant cutesy birds from the night before, the bear AND the assassins all on her own just fine.

It was admirable, really. But seeing the princess of Eckhart unconscious and vulnerable like this, it made him feel odd somehow.

Familiar in a way.

And looking back at the events today, he realized.

Ah.

She reminded Callisto of himself when he was a child.

Small and vulnerable.

It felt foreign somehow, he didn't know what to think of these new thoughts of his. He decided to fetch some firewood inside the cave.

The Lady woke up. They had a bit of bantering before she went to sleep.

Callisto stayed awake a little longer and mulled over his thoughts of the princess.

Her company was enjoyable. The moments between them, however brief, were by far the most peaceful moments of his life since his mother's passing.

Still he tried to remind himself that he approached Penelope to fulfill his goal, not because of something as measly as friendship.

Penelope woke up again, shivering and quaking uncontrollably. Seeing her in such a state...reminded him more and more of his younger self.

Without thinking twice, the Crown Prince reached out to her and tried to offer her comfort, or whatever he could offer at the time.

And perhaps, as a way to help him heal somewhat, mused about his past to the Eckhart Princess.

Her reactions were a bit...well unexpected, but there seemed to be this look of understanding in her eyes somehow? Though he might be seeing things due to the poison slowly spreading in him.

Soon it was time for them to sleep, and somehow he thought he might be able to have one restful night for once.

Y'know what?

Perhaps once Callisto secured his ascension, it wouldn't be too bad to maintain this bond with the princess and be a little more honest.

Yes that alone should be fine

Hello, can you do Enhypen members as superheroes or anime characters?

hello!! of course, i believe i'll narrow it down though. admittedly, i don't really know alot about superheroes.

i also have not watched anime for awhile and don't know what is in demand, so i'll do it based off of manhwa villainesses. if there are any specific series in mind, feel free to ask!!

this leaves me for today's post,

"if enhypen woke up one day as a villain in a manhwa, who would they be and what would their story unfold?"

enhypen as manhwa villainesses

heeseung as a villainess could be very glamorous. in the world of the plot, he would be someone who sets trends and holds a lot of power. i believe he could be in a loveless or fake marriage with someone from a royal family. he would be amazing at seeing new opportunities overcoming challenges to move forward and live his best life.

based on what i have gathered from the cards, i believe heeseung as a villainess would be similar to aristia la monique from the abandoned empress!! in the story, aristia was born into a powerful family and was prophecized to marry the crown prince, erven though he does not care for her. nonetheless, she prevails and carves her own fate.

page of cups, four of cups rx., the sun, strength

jay's story is definitely about starting off powerless and weak though aggressive and defensive. a lot of this weakness may stem inside of his family but he slowly gains power with economic pursuits. there is a theme of marriage and a powerful, royal family. it is likely that in the end, jay marries into the royal family.

a great match up to this plot is penelope eckhart from villains are destined to die. penelope is adopted daughter to replace a wealthy family's daughter, her new family dislikes her for this reason. she does gains the favor of a crown prince. eventually the family warms up to her, but the years of hardship she faced keeps her distant.

the chariot rx., king of pentacles, ten of pentacles rx., five of wands

jake's story may follow the manhwa saintess archetype. his original fate was definitely not good but he learns to rise above it. the character he may possess would be a very spiteful and jealous saintess who loses everything in the end. he may not originally be able to cut ties completely, but he does get to live happily!

this is essentially the story of ariel from i'm a fake saintess but the gods are in love with me! it is new compared to others but the main character possesses a fake saintess in a novel. the male leads fall in love with ariel and try to capture her but she escapes with the help of gods who are her fans and work in her favor.

the hierophant, ten of swords rx., the chariot rx., queen of cups rx., ten of pentacles rx.

sunghoon as a manhwa villainess would be someone very mentally strong. it would not be reincarnation, but would have a second chance at life and snaps out of a previous mindset. he becomes an assertive war hero but still is restrained in the past. the relationship between him and the love interest would be related to fates and connections between lives.

this story reminds me a lot of charlize ronan from i tamed a tyrant and ran away! charlize in her first life is turned into a sword for eternity, yet is given a second chance. she plans to destroy the empire that schemed to turn her into a sword. the love interest, the tyrant, does show interest in her sword form in her first life, yet she runs away from him in her second, in fear of hurting him.

four of swords rx., knight of swords, three of wands rx., wheel of fortune

sunoo's story would have had him blinded and in denial, such as in denial of the love interest not reciprocating his feelings. his character could have issues with family, most particularly a father. otherwise, his character would be optimistic and overall, very sweet! sunoo has a manhwa villainess would grow to become independent and elegant.

this is very similar to jubelian eloy floyen from father, i don't want this marriage! jubelian is framed for poisoning a princess, but is saved from her estranged and distant father in her first life. in her second life, there are a lot of communication errors between jubel and her father. jubelian, though normally sweet, stands up to the people who roiginally framed her.

two of swords, the emperor rx., queen of wands, nine of pentacles

jungwon as a manhwa villainess would be a character who tried very hard to win the affection of the love interest, but would lose to the main character. there would be a lot of negative gossip around him but he stands his ground. he, as a villainess, challenges the values around him, even though he himself may be a little negative.

this description fits eris miserian from kill the villainess. eris is a sad and painful protagonist, or villainess in this case. this can be inferred by her surname which really is misery. she is not liked in favor of the sweet commoner who the crown prince is in love with, no matter how hard she tries, but she still remains strong and holds her head high.

the world rx., nine of swords rx., six of swords rx., the hierophant rx.

in niki's story, he would be in some misfortune, or just not being treated very well throughout the story or in the background of the story. his story could be revolved around how he responds to his misfortunes. overall, his story is very light hearted and is much more calm than the other ones of this story. there could be a theme of exhaustion in the story.

rubia de grandia la luxen from the lady needs a break, is a good example for this plot. rubia is very exhausted, as she feels cursed to remember and live many different lives. in her life as 'rubia' she decides to give up on trying and just wants to relax in wealth before she must go on to her next life.

justice, eight of wands, five of wands rx., nine of swords

Webtoon Review: Happily Ever Afterwards

Synopsis:

What would you do if you were reborn as a character from your favorite romance novel? For Peony, an avid fan of “The Song of Askar,” the answer is simple: Marry her favorite character, of course! Reincarnated as the princess of the Kingdom of Garten, Peony is determined to marry Richt, the second male lead of “The Song of Askar” and former prince of the Fairspren Empire, who was banished to an inhospitable land after the novel’s happy ending (which didn’t end so well for him). Amidst trials and tribulations, can Peony and Richt make the most of their second chance at life and love?

Status: Completed

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Isekai, Drama, Josei, Comedy

Original Work By: Hwang Do Tol

Adapted by: Jeongseo

Review:

Hello Hi Annyeong and welcome to my review blog!

Today I will be reviewing a cute romance manhwa entitled, Happily Ever Afterwards!

This review will be a bit short since I finished it last February and I don't remember ALL the details, just the important ones.

Anyway, this title is another novel isekai.

But the thing is, the MC was not reincarnated as a part of the main cast, instead, she is a background character of the original story, a princess from a rich, neighbouring country.

The timeline also happened after the ending of the original story which made me interested.

So far, I've only read novel isekais where the MCs are either involved in the story from birth (reincarnated) or they went back in time.

For this one, the original princess died and the MC took over the princess' body. Unlike other isekais, the MC has no idea what will happen next since it's already the after-story. So it's up to the MC to create her own story thus, the title "Happily Ever Afterwards".

In her previous life, the MC, now called Princess Peony, has a favorite character/bias in the novel name Richt. In the novel, Richt is the tragic second lead who was exiled after starting a rebellion against the novel's hero and heroine; his brother and THE crown prince, Mikhail and his first love and brother's fiance, Hestia.

Peony absolutely LOVED Richt and thinks he is misunderstood and deserved to be happy. If only she could bring him happiness right? Then an idea struck her. Since she is at the novel's after story, she could change Richt fate and save him! And how you ask? By marrying him and becoming a great wife of course!

The premise of the story is totally relatable! Fictional guys are hot but they ain't real. But what if they WERE real? What would you do? Well, Ms. Peony here knows what she wants, she will marry her favorite character no matter what.

Peony now has a goal but conflicts got in her way. You see, the original Princess Peony is very fragile and sickly (thus why she died). Because of this, her family is overprotective and doted on her so much. The land where Lord Richt was exiled is very cold and almost unhabitable, it's a big red flag for her and her health. But girlie really wanted to make her bias happy so she said fck it, I'm going no matter what. Convincing her family to go and propose to him was challenging but Peony managed to convince them anyways.

Fast forward, Peony was able to travel to Lord Richt's residence and has many plans of winning him over. She proposed to him but was rejected. However, she won't back down without a fight! He is her bias after all so she knows everything about him! She believes that if she makes the right moves, he will eventually warm up to her.

However, making Richt fall for her was harder than expected. Despite knowing the things on how to pull his heart strings (example: giving him sweets), he is still so rude, aloof and cold towards her.

Despite Richt pushing her away, Peony would almost push back and would never leave. She put her foot down and declared that she WOULD marry him. Eventually, the two made a truce that if Peony made him fall for her in 100 days, he would marry her. And thus, begins their love story.

Their love story is actually cute. I won't spoil anything but I really love the development between the two as well as their chemistry. Sometimes I find myself giggling about how cute they are. I really love Peony as she is so pure, adorable, cheerful and strong. She's strong in the sense that she is very determined, driven and she knows what she wants. She is not afraid to try as she always takes the first step all the time which I admire very much. This attitude of hers really fits well with our male lead, Richt.

Now with Richt, I love him and Peony together but alone, I don't think he is on my favorite characters list. For me, this guy is just a big red flag. I'm not really a fan of tsundere male leads so I might be biased on this but he really gets on my nerves sometimes. He gets angry all so suddenly and he expects Peony to know why the hell is he angry about. And when Peony wants to talk about it, he lashes out like, okay dude chill, she just wants to understand you.

He has his moments sure, he even makes me swoon sometimes, but most of the times he is just a big jerk. I almost dropped this series because of how he treats Peony badly on the first half of the series. As much I love Peony, she sometimes can be so pushy. She has that "I can fix him" mindset so yeah, I kinda get annoyed at her sometimes because it hurts me to see her so determined when her efforts aren't even reciprocated.

Despite that, I kept reading this manhwa because my good friend recommended this to me and she loved it very much so I gave it a chance. I was thinking the whole time that Peony is so perfect for him because she has so much patience dealing with his moodiness. If I were her, I would dump his ass a long time ago :D

Anyways, the story itself was interesting. The main focus is the main couple's romance but the subplots are good too. The story of the rebellion has an unexpected twist and the love story of the second couple is very adorable as well. I really love Andy since he's such a cutie and a green flag! He is one of my favorite characters.

Reading it is entertaining and I was satisfied with the ending.  My only problem is with the male lead at first but I guess it worked out for them both at the end. It was cute and I would recommend it to those peeps who loves the cold guy x cheerful girl dynamic. 

------

Overall Rating: 4/5

A mini-update of what's (hopefully?) going to happen with the VADD AO3 fandom tag:

I've requested for the Tag Wranglers to hopefully organize the tags on AO3, so we can find stories easily. For example, given the vast inconsistencies with Eckles's name spelling(Iklies, Eclise, Eclipse, Ecklies, Icklies), I've asked them to make them synonymous with the official English translation spelling.

Hopefully, we can have tags created for some characters, such as Original Penelope Eckhart. Below is a list of the names and synonyms regarding these characters that I've sent them, so hopefully we can anticipate that in the future.

Synonyms are according to the official fan translation, current synonymous tags used by the fandom on AO3, and the multiple spellings in the machine-translated novel(which is heavily inconsistent)

Suggested Character Tags

Penelope Eckhart | Cha Siyeon (synonym: Penelope Eckart, Cha Si-Yeon)

Original Penelope Eckhart(synonym: og!Penelope, og Penelope Eckart)

Reynold Eckhart (synonym: Reynold Eckhart)

Ivonne Eckhart (synonym: Yvonne Eckhart)

Duke Eckhart (synonym: Duke Eckart)

Duchess Evelyn Eckhart (synonym: Duchess Eckart)

Callisto Regulus (synonym: Kallisto Regulus)

* These characters have not appeared in the manhwa as of the end of Season 2. Season 3 will begin in June 2022, so we will be getting confirmation of Cedric's name(which is consistent in the novel). Judith Regulus is an epilogue character, but her name is consistent as well. ** The Head Housekeeper/Head Maid is consistently named Reina in the novel, but the manhwa makes no mention of it. *** Marienne is a minor epilogue character with an unconfirmed and inconsistent name spelling. She has not appeared yet in the official manhwa

--

tbh I'm just excited at the idea of og!Penelope getting her own tag

Edit: I FORGOT TO PUT CEDRIC'S LAST NAME NOO

Status: Completed

Author: Yusa

Favorite Character: Nara

Favorite Chapters: Chapter 35, Chapter 49, Chapter 68, Chapter 69, Chapter 74, and Chapter 79

Plot Synopsis: To break an ancient curse that plagues the royal bloodline, young Prince Tasara is destined to be sacrificed in death. Nara is enlisted as a palace servant to carry out the prince’s execution when the time comes. But he develops a soft spot for the cursed prince, and, after committing an atrocious and unforgivable act against Tasara, Nara, is desperate to right his wrongs. Soon, their lascivious relationship that had been kept under wraps tests his resolve. Will Nara be tempted away from his original mission? There’s no telling how far he would go to earn Tasara’s forgiveness.

Love the author, Yusa!! ❤️ Love all Yusa's work. I'm a huge fan. This is a masterpiece. It's so interesting, full of angst, love, and cuteness. The art style is so beautiful and all the characters are handsome, and pretty. The smut scenes are so hot and sexy. Love how it is drawn. Tasara is the most handsome and hottest character. Love his beautiful red eyes and soft red lips. His cursed tattoos look so hot on him. Nara is pretty, cute, and sexy as hell. I admire his sincerity. He really loves Tarasa, whether Tarasa is good, evil, or a monster. I understand why Tarasa is having second thoughts to acknowledge his feelings for Nara, as he has never been in love and he has already been betrayed. Also, he is scared that Nara will change his mind and feelings once he sees the true Tarasa or his cursed. Fortunately, they had a happy ending. Also, the side couple Haran and Yidam are also cute together. Wished there were more side stories.

I really, really do recommend this. I assure you that you will love it. The characters are handsome and hot. Please do support the author if you can.
