Can I ask why you hate mafia nanny? Im curious to know why
Hi dear♡
Oh, there are many reasons. I've already made some pins about it, but most of my issues come from Gabriel's behavior.
💬 0 🔁 0 ❤️ 16 · Taking about my issues with The Mafia Nanny Webtoon : ·
but first what is "The Mafia Nanny" webtoon even about? Here is
First, the webtoon heavily focuses on a Y/N-style CEO/mafia romance, and I personally hate any form of romanticization of the mafia.
Second, it fetishizes the single dad and remarriage trope with undertones of misogyny. Emmaline, the first wife, is portrayed as weak, while Gabriel is glorified despite the fact that he basically abused her and was very harsh toward her. When she supposedly died, he showed almost no guilt or remorse. Just seconds after talking about his wife's awful death—which may have involved harassment—he was already flirting with Davina and kissing her hand.
Fans justify this by saying that he never loved Emmaline, but I find that argument ridiculous. Since when do you have to love someone to show basic human respect, decency, or remorse? He didn't seem to feel guilty at all about the mother of his son.
Davina is also overly glorified. She's constantly praised for being strong and lovable, yet she falls for Gabriel very easily. I also dislike the boss × employee dynamic.
Another issue is how the story handles Mikey. Children who lose a parent or come from broken families go through real pain and grief, but the story treats the situation as something cute and barely explores Mikey's suffering or Gabriel genuinely helping him through it.
I also dislike the sexualization of Gabriel through the "hot single dad" trope. I find it odd and uncomfortable.
What bothers me even more is the fandom. People constantly root for Gabriel and Davina to fall in love while directing an insane amount of hate toward Emmaline, even though she did nothing wrong. Some fans go as far as saying that Davina would be a better mother—not even stepmother, but mother. They say she's prettier and even hope Emmaline is truly dead because, if she were alive and returned to her husband and son, she would somehow be the villain who ruins the main couple's happy ending. Basically, Emmaline is expected to suffer for the female lead's sake.
People always talk about "true love," moving on, and how it's okay to fall in love again—but only when the story wants it to happen and only when it benefits the main couple.
For example, think about popular couples like Ruby and Izek, Ines and Cárcel, Eris and Anakin, or even Penelope and Callisto. Fans call them true love. Now imagine that the female lead dies. Would most fans want Izek, Anakin, Cárcel, or Callisto to remarry? Probably not. Why? Because people would say they were each other's true love, and that moving on would ruin the romance.
Similarly, after Amelia's and Diana's deaths, very few fans talk about Regis or Claude remarrying because people are attached to those original relationships and love the tragedy associated with them. If those characters remarried, many fans would feel that the emotional impact of the original love story had been reduced.
To me, this shows how much perspective matters. Authors can influence readers' views on what counts as true love, who is allowed to move on, and which women are considered good or bad.
Long story short, my biggest problem is Gabriel's misogynistic and awful behavior, as well as how both the story and the fandom excuse it because he's handsome and in love with Davina. On top of that, I dislike the problematic mafia romance, the boss × employee relationship, the age gap, the cringe-worthy plot, and several other aspects of the story.
That said, I still respect the fans. Everyone has different tastes, and they're free to enjoy it even if I don't.
You may have been born an Eckart but you belong and died part of the nameless and unfortunates, my love. They didn't deserve you, no one did
Besides her plot in relation to Laila being an apparent csa allegory (having her body taken over and violated by using her body for various crimes, making her isolated from her family and die from such isolation) not once ever talked abt seriously and then having her to die and shatter as an ending, my other issue after reading @og-penelope-eckart post on their rant on the illogical detail of Yvonne/Laila return and Penelope attempt with how Yvonne in the vadtd plotline being when she came home and everyone start doubting her as if it isn't like 8 years (?) ever since she came home.
What did you expect her to act? Why are you so quick to doubt her and think oh yea mhm you're definitely haunted by a magical ancient creature which is true but how would you know that? You guys dropped her before she can ever find ways home and still the plot still required Yvonne to be forgiving to her family, wishing them the best before shattering. The Madonna can't escape the misogyny, it's part of the idea
Personally I have always enjoyed the plotline of a nurture over nature
Yvonne being part of the family that took her in before being taken over by Laila, being part of the unfortunate orphans, living amongst the people and away from the imperialist teachings of the Eorka empire in general and Eckart duchy specifically. In another life she did overthrow that place with a her free will after living amongst folks long enough
*more SerpentTea Au Lore🐍* Rat takin’ a selfie with her bestie Aspheera, who’s ready for Pride 🏳️⚧️🧡🤍🩷✄!!
The two of them met in Season 12 cuz they were both in Kryptarium Prison, lol. Aspheera was sent to Prison for…everything in the Fire Chapter, and Rat was send to a few days in prison cuz she bit someone who was dissing her Tattoo shop✨🍋🟩
Rat had looked up to Aspheera ever since seeing her terrorizing Ninjago City with her fire Snakes on the News, and was very excited to meet her in person. for whatever reason, they became friends and Aspheera Taught her Spinjitzu! Their dynamic is basically the “Cool Aunt it never had” or “Mentor and Student”✨✨
Even when Rat gets out of jail, she still remains besties with Aspheera. Vessytha is very disapproving of their friendship tho becuz she thinks Aspheera is a bad influence on her.
Yo….I just had a Thought; what if Aspheera and Vessytha got together later on in my Au👀??? they’re about the same age, so it’s not too weird. I feel like they’d have some kinda “enemies to lovers” relationship 🏳️🌈 idk how Pythor’d react to that😂.
