✓ironically, this blog is called "Mr.TrustFundKid" ✓reality is ~I'm in love with Zen~ multi-fandom (MysMes and NNT main fandoms) here you can find: memes and other stuff :>
Arthur being evil. I still don't understand how he made a 180 from his 7DS version.
Vivian being alive despite all the BS she pulled so far. Just why? Why does she have such a thick plot armor?
The little "bride". Guinivere or whatever her name is. She would have been interesting if she was a mysterious teenager or a young woman instead of a literal 10-12 year old 💀 But noo somehow she is Elaine 2.0 and just... yikes.
Lancelot being a chick magnet despite asking for none of it. Poor guy can't get a break. I don't even think he is into girls.
The "romance" being literal SA for Lancelot. Neither the child nor Jericho is a good fit for him. He should probably end up alone.
Jericho's character development going down the drain. In 7DS she had a brother she cared about and this could be the point to lure her to Camelot. But nooo she had to fall for Lancelot since she couldn't have Ban. I really hope she is being manipulated by something else because I don't want her to be a p*do 😭
Merlin being missing, I wonder if she created Gawain?
Fairy gender thing. There wasn't any backstory or an example in 7DS. Sounds like an excuse to create a straight relationship between Nasiens and Percival 😑
Gowther not having enough screentime. I want to see him more often 😭
So some of my thoughts on the uhhh infamous Jericho and Lancelot thingy
I hate it. I absolutely hate it, along with like 99% of the fandom, which is plausible and understandable. But I don't hate it becaus it's "pedobait" or something like that, for the narrative clearly does NOT condone her actions.
First and foremost, she's treated seriously as traitor and enemy. Obviously because she has sided with Camelot, but we can still say that it means her motive aka her "feelings" for Lancelot isn't shown in a good light enough to justify her betrayal.
Her falling for Lancelot is NOT normalized. When speaking of her relationship with Lancelot, everyone immediately thinks of that of a mentor-student and older sister/younger brother, that means it is considered totally not normal for Jericho to fall in love with a kid like Lancelot. The phrases "family", "master", "sister" and the likes are used repeatedly to highlighted the contrast between her actual feelings for Lancelot how she should feel towards him.
It is clear that Jericho also expresses shame about that, as shown when she cut Guila off. She herself said that it was disgusting, and she ran away because she knew common sense and that "love" of her was inappropriate.
In conclusion, her inappropriate feelings are not condoned, she is shown under a bad light, and treated as an enemy. If you feel disgust reading this, then that is GOOD, because you are supposed to do that, the narrative wants you to be disgusted by this.
But then why do I hate it? Because it did Jericho so so so dirty.
Why must she fall for Lancelot? Her hopelessly gushing over Ban was not enough? Why must she be the pedophilic villain, fooled by Arthur and betray her comrades for a fictional world he promised her?
I used to like her so much! She's funny to read, she's compassionate, she also has flaws and that's what fleshes her out as a human. Her character arc was basically completed in 7DS: She got over her crush for Ban, kind of stopped arguing pointlessly with her brother (because he uhhh died), awoke to her magic, and with Gustav's death she could then see Ban as her brother figure just like how he saw her as his little sister. It was perfect.
There's literally no reason for Jericho to become like this. It's just so fucking sad.
The best thing we can hope for right now is that Arthur probably brainwashed her into thinking she loved Lancelot romantically so she could become his pawn. Who knows what kind of fuckery he could pull with that chaos magic of his.
I AM 100% AGREEING THIS AND I AM A MASSIVE JERICHO FAN SINCE DAY 1.
My thoughts:
I am having this feeling that her feelings for Lancelot are fake and it's just Arthur who brainwashed her. OR again on the brainwashing thing, probably she still had feelings for Ban and Arthur used that, transforming them in feelings for his son, to find a way that he would get to Lancelot (of course in a disgusting way)
I am trying to shove this down my throat and be like : THIS IS FINE. IT S JUST ARTHUR WHO MESSED UP EVERYTHING, MY JERICHO WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING
It seems to me like Myrtel being human is something everyone in his family knows but doesn't talk about. Like it's obvious but "forbidden" to bring up too openly. Looking over the Chapter 140 page when Tioreh mentioned mullein pills...I think she didn't mean for Nasiens to realize the truth. All she said was humans need to take them regularly as long as they're in the Fairy Realm. She didn't mention her oldest brother at all--not once in this entire chapter, even.
And when Nasiens figures it out...she looks so sad. It reminds me of the look King and Diane gave Nasiens a couple chapters ago.
Ik there's a lot to unpack in those looks, but in one part of it, they all must be worried about Myrtel. He's a part of their family, but as long as he lives in the Fairy Realm, his health may turn even worse. I'm sure none of them want to tell him he should move to Liones or somewhere else in the Human Realm for his own wellbeing, either, because what would mean saying you don't belong here. No matter how they could put it, that's how it'll feel.
I'm worried for him too. I really hope the Camelot guy who showed up at the end won't convince him of anything...but that's probably what's going to happen. They're probably gonna be the one who say you don't belong there and dig even deeper. And that cloaked mf has a chaos staff. Chances are that's going to be used...
Myrtel knows his parents loves him. He genuinely cares about the fairies and giants in the Fairy Realm. His sword-fighting skills may very well be self-taught, and he chose to learn them so he can fight for his people. But he knows he's not like any of them.
Also, remember when he warned his parents about trusting humans?
He's the one who brought up humans as a problem. Something to distrust and avoid. I wonder what that says about how he views himself. To him, is he an exception to most humans or destined to be treated exactly like them by his own adoptive siblings and parents?
I want him to stop fearing getting replaced. I want him to be happy. He deserves it. Please give King and Diane's totally-changeling son a happy ending Nakaba 🙏
