I didn't talk about it yet, but MY GOD, Episode 11 of Beast-Yeast almost singlehandedly fixed everything wrong that relates to the White Lily Saga.
The male characters actually got to be their own people and had their own stories and motivations SEPERATE FROM WILY??? Silent salt was literally the star of the show and I'm so glad his section was all his, without White Lily being butting in, he got to be his own character and wasn't reduced to her "husband" (Though I'm still concerned they might go that route in ep 12). Charcoal also got to be his own person, and have his own motivation to explore further that wasn't strictly related to Wily, and, with the addition of Pastry, it created space that FINALLY gave these 2 male characters their own identity and space to develop. Plus, I found White Lily to be, arguably, at her best in this episode. She felt less annoying and I actually enjoyed how she pushed the story along, without it being forced. If Ep 12 is actually well handled, I might end up liking her.
Also, they FINALLY made Elder Faerie an actual character, he got his scenes alongside Silent salt and we saw the before and after math of Salt's plan to seal the other Beasts in the tree. Elder Faerie actually got something for himself that built his character and separated him from being "White Lily's husband".
But also, why the fuck are White Lily fans crying about this 🫩. "I-its misogynistic writing, White Lily didnt get any attentio-" Good. She already has so much and is literally the center of attention ALL the damn time, for the love god, let Silent salt and Elder faerie get something for themselves, instead of only making their existence about Wily and her development. Plus, every Beast-Yeast chapter, started with the Beast's development, before shifting focus to the Ancient in the following episode. Wily will get her spotlight in episode 12.
Dont get me started on how some are like "Stop hating Wily cuz of ElderSalt-" No one does, its the opposite in fact. Elderlily fans have been homophobic and hating on Salt all cuz he got in the way of the hetero relationship 🫩. Wily is literally a fan favourite and overdefended, like yall wouldnt survive a day as the smilk fans who were getting doxxed, sent death threats and harassed for liking him, or a Burning spice fan, who have to deal with the "Hes an Abuser/R@pist" headcanons 🥀🥀🥀
Like no, Wily isn't overhated, and the fandom isn't "misogynistic", it literally is dominated by women. Like, did y'all collectively ignore the entire meltdowns yall had over Silent salt being confirmed male? Bffr 🫩🫩🫩
