[uniquethingtastemaker]

You know, I’ve been looking through my favorite otome game characters recently, and I realized that they’re all rich or have some sort of high status… or just some of my favorite characters in general that I would want to date… a lot of them are in upper class… I think that says something about myself, but whatever

So I'm playing the routes in bmp I never bought before and I'm on Edwards and honestly I would much rather be romancing Louis rn rather than Edward - he's just so sweet I love him

Matchup: BMP Princes + Disney Princesses

As a Disneychild and devoted Otome fan, I’ve seen a few posts about matchups of the Disney princesses with various Otome men, but none with our actual princes. So here you go, I hope you enjoy :)

Wilfred Spencer: Jasmine.

Wilfred was the most difficult to pair up for me, because in my eyes he is a relatively complex character who you can’t figure out within the first two chapters. Both of these two come from strict households (duh), and want to be seen for more than their title. I imagine them meeting by chance when they sneak of the palace anonymously and just getting to know each other as normal people. They both love their respective kingdoms and its people, and would give each other a sense of normalcy when not busy with any royal duties. 

Keith Alford: Merida.

As much as we all love Keith, it’s safe to say that he’s not an easy man to handle. In a woman, he needs a challenge, someone who won’t be swooned by his status or dashing good looks. Merida is the anti-princess, who just wants her freedom. Admittedly, they both have a bit of a temper, however, I can just imagine Keith seeing Merida kick all those men’s ass in archery and instantly fall for her. She won’t make it easy for him, but once they get together they’d be a total power couple!

Roberto Button: Anna.

Listen, my heart M E L T S when I think of these two. They are two perfect rays of sunshine; adventurous, fun-loving, caring, wonderful WONDERFUL people. You could feel their positive energy from ten miles away and they’d brighten up every room they enter and make everyone have heart-eyes by just watching them. They’d also bond on a deeper level, considering the loss of Anna’s parents and Robbie’s mother. When necessary, Anna can very headstrong, especially when it comes to Robbie running away from his duties ;) In conclusion, those two have to be my favourite couple.

Joshua Lieben: Belle.

The first thing that came to mind was - bookworms! Then I thought some more, and liked this pairing better and better. They are both very responsible, and Belle has the open-mindedness that Joshua lacks in the beginning. Also, Belle is not someone to be thrown off by mean words, and she’d have the patience, or rather stubornness to uncover the very soft heart that Joshua is hiding.

Glenn Casiraghi: Mulan.

Another one that was not easy to match up, but ultimately came up with this one (maybe because of similar cultural backgrounds?). Anyway, Mulan is probably the best Disney princess in existence (though I am also a big fan of Moana <3) and possesses the maturity that Glenn is lacking a bit. They are both family people who respect their traditions but also keep their eyes on the future, questioning what’s right and wrong while being faithful to their moral convictions. I also love the image of them practicing archery together, and of Alan playing with Little Brother!

Edward Levaincois: Rapunzel.

These two are so dreamy! Literally. Both very artsy and romantic individuals, with their heads in the clouds sometimes and incomparibly pure hearts. Edward would give Rapunzel all the freedom to discover everything that she’s been missing out on, and also have the patience to teach her about everything she needs to know about life as a royal. He’d also LIVE for braiding her hair (before she cut it of course) and experimenting with different hairstyles. He’d be enchanted by her singing and fascinated by her art, hanging up every single piece in their room and the rest of the castle.

Zain: Tiana.

Tiana is arguably one, if not the most underrated Disney princess; just how Zain is very underrated in my opinion. She’s ambitious, down-to-earth, loving and a fantastic cook. Just right for someone with as big an appetite as Zain! They’d be each other’s greatest supporter and probably have the one of the healthiest relationships you’ve ever seen. Big fan of this pairing!

Yakov Chernenkov: Elsa.

I HAD TO. ‘Scusi. I haven’t played Yakov’s route, but from what I’ve seen he seems to be someone that appears somewhat distant at first, but is incredibly sweet once you get to know him. They give off a similar vibe, and for me the saying “Birds of the same feather flock together” is absolutely true. I think they’d understand each other on a deeper level, always having to be strong on the outside, having a whole kingdom relying on them. With each other I feel they could be vulnerable. Plus, not that it’s important, they’d just look gorgeous next to each other!

Be My Princess Edward Review

Hey guys! This is my first time actually writing and sharing my opinions on an otome route that I’ve played. In the past, I have discussed with my friends whether to pass or purchase a route, but I’ve never done a full on review. I hope you like it. I will also have my ask box open on this blog, so if anyone wants to ask questions about a route I’ve played or request I cover a specific route next you can there. 

I decided what’s a better way to start off this blog than with reviewing the first otome route I ever played! In 2013 I discovered and played Edward’s route in Be My Princess and that started me off on my otome journey. Firstly, I’m going to start off with a basic summary of Edward’s route (with no spoilers) and then get into my grading process and review. OK, on to the review. 

Route Summary: The MC in “Be My Princess” is a college student who is studying abroad in the Charles Kingdom. In the prolog, after being splashed with mud by Prince Keith's car on her way home from class, Prince Edward offers to take the MC to the famous ball that is being held that night at Nobel Michel’s palace as an apology for his friend covering her clothes in mud and driving off.  There is no question that Edward is smitten with the MC since their first meeting. The prolog ends with the MC being tapped on the shoulder, where whoever’s route you chose will ask you to dance (unless it’s Yakov or Zain). Edward asks the MC to dance and the two hit it off really well. 

During the following days after the party at Nobel Michel, the MC wins tickets to the opera. At the opera, the MC runs into Prince Edward after the Show. When the paparazzi shows up Edward and the MC escape out the back of the opera house to avoid any tabloid scandals. Once they escape Edward and the MC eat macarons and wait for Edward’s butler Louis to pick him up. Before he leaves, Edward gives the MC his Scarf to keep her warm. A few days later the MC goes to the castle to return it to Prince Edward. When she goes to the palace to return it, Prince Edward shows her his rose garden and the two talk for a long time while having tea.

While having tea with Prince Edward the MC accidentally leaves behind her bookmark prompting Prince Edward to show up to her apartment to return it. He then asks the MC to borrow the book that she was reading because he wants to read it. The book was one in a long series so Prince Edward and the MC decide to use a system where Edward will borrow one book at a time in hopes that they can see each other again. 

While Prince Edward and the MC grow closer, the Royal Assembly does not think that it’s fitting for Edward to be with a commoner. They pressure him to not see the MC anymore because she would never be seen as a suitable match for Prince Edward because she is not of noble background. From there, the MC and Prince Edward need to make decisions about what to do about their feelings for each other. Love vs. Obligation.

Overall Rating:  ☆☆☆☆☆  92/100 (A)

Plot: The plot of Edward’s story is one of the sweetest and most romantic I have ever played in an otome game. As a person who loves to read, the plotline with the books was something that I personally love and could see happening. The love at first sight and them finding any excuse to see each other again really tugged my heartstrings. However, there is a major arc in Edward’s story where he does something that I cannot see him actually doing. Edward is definitely a hopeless romantic, however, another one of his main traits is that he is responsible and level headed. To avoid spoilers all I will say is that what Edward did was super risky and I feel like it was mostly done to show off how romantic he can be. All in all the plot though was amazing and I would give it a solid 26/30, and it’s only that low because of my belief that the story did not fit Edwards character in that single arc.

Characters and Interactions: Edward is the textbook definition of a perfect prince charming. He is gentlemanly, loving, caring, sweet, generous, romantic, and is just overall princely. Edward is always the voice of reason and keeps his calm demeanor in almost every situation, especially when interacting with the princess from other countries or in other political situations. He does have one major flaw (if you can call it that) and that is that he is a hopeless romantic. Edward knows that he loves the MC from the second he meets her, and loves to spoil the MC and to regularly make sweet romantic gestures. He definitely falls head over heels and is not afraid to express his feelings. Once Edward falls he falls hard and will do anything for true love. Edward’s personality is exactly what you expect from a game called “Be My Princess,” and he can make any girl feel like they are in fact a princess. I give Edward a 20/20 for his amazing personality and romantic nature.

World Building: Be my Princess has always been amazing at going into the laws and regulations of each individual country, establishing where each country thrives, as well as the different culture and attitudes of all the countries. Edward’s route is definitely no exception. Edward is the prince of the Charles Kingdom and his interactions with the Royal Assembly make the way the country functions seem much more realistic. You also get to see how the Charles Kingdom loves art and music and how it affects their culture. While playing his route you really feel as though you are in the Charles Kingdom. Hence I give this a 14/15.

Satisfaction: I loved Edward’s Route and left feeling super satisfied. By the end, the whole story tied together nicely. The Happy Ending was super sweet and reminded me why I loved Edward so much in the first place. The whole story reminded me of a romance novel (which it kind of is), the story was great and the love at first sight aspect was amazing. I give Edward’s route a 19/20 for an amazing ending that left me amazingly satisfied.

Replayability: Edward’s route is a classic. I have definitely played his route more than once because I love him so much. Edward’s route is definitely not one that I would come back to all the time, but I do go back to it every time I want to read something romantic and sweet. There are definitely no routes like Edward’s route, at least not that could compare to his. The route that I think is most similar to Edward’s route is Lute’s route from “A Knight’s Devotion,” however,  Lute’s route does not compare to Edward’s route in the slightest. Because of Edward’s romantic personality and unique storyline, I give his rote a 13/15 for replayability.

Overall Thoughts: Edward’s route is one of my favorite routes ever, and that is not just nostalgia talking. You can trust me on that I have replayed some routes I loved a LOOOONG time ago and have been like “why did I like this.” Edward’s route is truly unique and I would recommend it to anyone who is either a long time player or is just starting out playing otome. The characters are amazing, the world and story are phenomenal, and the characters are extraordinary.

Christmas with hubby 🌹

[loveedwardlevaincois]

Happy 10th Anniversary🌹💕💕 The drawing was meant to be finished last year, but I was so burned out that I forgot about it. But I really enjoy doing BMP again~ it reminds me how much I miss doing it and I been doing this for 10 years and pretty much the only person who does BMP in this day and age in the overseas space. I know very well that it is still thriving in Japan and following it through twitter. Anyway, I hope you continue to support me and years to come. I do apologize for not being here all the time. There still more art ideas to come. Thank you so much! 💓
