Girl, you can't be saying that.

They're making the princesses learn how to program; this is a net for transfemmes.

For those who saw the new Livid Lady PV and thought "Wow, this villainess anime is way more violent than I thought it was going to be" - yeah, that PV is about a quarter of how violent it's actually going to be. This is for sure the darkest villainess anime we've gotten so far in terms of the lead character's amorality and willingness to inflict violence on the guilty and innocent. Even series with villainesses heavily devoted to the revenge grindset, like The One Within the Villainess and The Remarkable Revenge of a Vindictive Villainess, have a level of pragmatism that is absent here. Elizabeth Leiston would truly kill every single motherfucker if it meant burning her kingdom to the ground.

You don't need a virus for that; 10 minutes on Twitter is enough.

Shoujo will be like "woe be upon this wretched creature" and then show me someone who's a solid swipe-right before she even gets her glow-up

If I'm isekai and I don't have a hypercompetent snarky maid by my side, then what's the point of living?

The local news, so lavish of news about the rats, now had nothing to say. For rats died in the street; men in their homes. And newspapers are concerned only with the street.

Von Stroheim is a genius-Greed establishes that beyond all double-but he is badly in need of a stopwatch.

[starfish-spencer]

They just don't want him getting left out 🥺

[huntleysaysso]

Can we believe that he was not a monster but a man? That he was innocent of everything except his life? Could the truth be so simple? So terrible?

But here is the most telling thing: you wish to possess me. And my mistake: I loved you and let you think you could.

There's clearly an appetite for this prurient ritual, in which privileged girls, in their rise to power, get humiliated, first in fiction, then in criticism - like a Roman Colosseum for gender anxieties.

He was a good hater, and ever since he could remember there had existed between himself and Mrs. Cackle a "magnetism of repulsion," of such peculiar strength that, after going to the very extreme, it curled back on itself, and from a repulsion came out an attraction, which made Mrs. Cackle's feet almost dance with longing to kick Jack, and made Jack's mouth water to bite the well-fed calves of Mrs. Cackle.
