One of the biggest problems in rofan manhwa is how many people treat an in-universe explanation as an valid defense of bad writing. As long as something is “explained,” they act like you’re not allowed to criticize how a character or story is handled.
OGFL's in floral dresses who did nothing wrong except be female and indirectly oppose the FL's goals, because in the OI world, two sisters can't be happy at the same time, the fanbase must choose one as their favorite and hate the other.
A May 18th, 1793 letter written by Maria Carolina about her sister Marie Antoinette is up for auction from Ader.
A partial transcription:
“I hope, along with you [...] that Providence will not leave its work unfinished, and that, having blessed the beginnings of this campaign in such a resplendent manner, it will deign to bring an end—together with it—to all our woes, and above all to the inexpressible sufferings of my unfortunate sister and her ill-fated family. [...] I dare not speak to you of my unfortunate sister; she is draining the cup of bitterness to the very dregs, and is enduring a harrowing trial of the utmost limits of human suffering; grandeur and pleasures have passed like a dream, leaving behind nothing but pain, bitter sorrows, and cruel memories."
How long were Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette married?
when the king brags about his beautiful wife at dinner and you heard in confession which knight she’s sleeping with
I’m absolutely fuming 😤
And before anyone starts: no, this isn’t about "book purism". Changes from the source material are not the problem. The problem is that the plot itself no longer works.
The story has lost the entire point of the war.
Because seriously: who the fuck are the Blacks even fighting?
Aegon doesn’t want the throne and apparently wants to kill Aemond.
Alicent hands them the city and half the war wrapped up with a bow.
Otto is missing/dead/who even knows.
Helaena isn’t fighting.
Daeron has barely been allowed to exist yet.
So what are the Greens supposed to be, exactly? Aemond, Vhagar, and the raw power of a nervous breakdown?
That’s not "making the characters complex". That’s hollowing out an entire faction from the inside and then pretending there’s still an actual balanced war.
Truly the healing powers of sitting in front of an open window at the beginning of spring
Derry Girls is three seasons of utterly delightful nonsense, and then at the end of S3 they're like, "Remember how we set this during The Troubles? We're going to make you ugly cry about that." The End.

don’t leave out the best part
I’ve never seen the second photo before.

For the domestic History nerds like me out there ^^ Marie-Antoinette meeting dauphin Louis-Auguste, future Louis XVI.
(Both were teenagers when they met and married, Marie-Antoinette was lively, charming and extroverted, Louis XVI was tall, shy, gentle and awkward. Unexpectedly, and contrary to popular belief, their marriage went much stronger than most royal unions and their mutual loyalty in the end is almost unparalleled.)
in light of the discussion surrounding the LO TV show, i'm currently sitting here with the existential dread of realizing there's a timeline where we could very well come full circle on this bit
idk if ive made it clear but she is the love of my life
I am so pleased that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is like actually a normal, solid adaptation. First, because it's pleasant for me to watch. But also because I'm glad that something took a look at HOTD and went, yea no actually that's a trashfire. We don't need to do that. And then proceeded to not do that. Proving that HOTD could definitely have been a good adaptation.
