obsessed with this weird family

[chess-blackmyre]

Never get over how good the development of Pereshati’s relationship with each of the Lapelion’s is…

Like sure other manhwas can claim that this noble family is ‘cold’ or ‘imposing’ but then they become all uwu besties with the protagonist after like, 2 decent social interactions. But it took like 15 chapters for Celphi to become Pereshati’s friend, and even more for characters like Saoirse and Gloria. 100+ chapters in the Lapileons are still acting like a bunch of traumatized weirdos who (while making some progress) usually can’t articulate their feelings unless they think they’re actively dying.

I love them all so much!!

Just finished a reread of My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me and here are some spoiler-free reasons for why I can't recommend it enough:

The art is immaculate. Not in a flashy or super intense way, though. The artist uses relatively simple compositions to tell SO MUCH. No spoonfeeding, but you also don't get lost

Grown up characters that look and behave like grown ups. Some have power, most have responsibilities, and each are flawed in very human ways

No perfect mc, no perfect pro max love interest

One of the most compelling main characters I've read in this medium. She's not the centre of this universe. She doesn't have everyone falling for her at first sight. She's dealt a rough hand and navigates way through it as best as she can

(Why she gets display icon status)

Slow burn romance done well. There are mistakes, miscommunication and more, but there's also attempts to grow, and learn, and be better. There's also enough politics and mystery to ensure it's paced really well

Consequences!! Actual consequences for choices!!!

(Celphius. You'll know when you get there)

Very compelling ensemble cast too

Genuinely gripping mystery. Those fond of theorising as they read will have plenty to fill their clue board with as the story progresses

A villain that really has your skin crawl when they appear

Humour done so well for a series with an otherwise serious tone

Don't miss little gags in the background and in chapter 'covers'

Do not let first impressions of the name, cover image or first chapter fool you

as it definitely did me at first read

You can read the first season and a half(?) for free on Webtoon. Since it's still ongoing (on hiatus between season two at the time of writing this), it's primed for bingeability.

He has found his worst enemy

CALE HENITUSE IS THAT YOU?!

Celphius could very well be Raon if he had blue eyes...

Last one for the day and therdeo is with claude from wwmap and cale from trash counts family today hehe.

Claude x therdeo:The relationship will be tense though. In Lovely process timeline,claude married therdeo due to therdeo reminding him of diana and at the same time wanting therdeo to always like what claude wants him to be. Therdeo would have some trouble taking care of athy but unlike claude,he slowly care for the girl and tries his best. In wwmap,he will still care for her and have celphius play with her once in a while. For athys little stepsiblings are roxana from how to protect the heroines older brother and estelle from knight to lady.

cale x therdeo: It would turn into an arranged marriage because in the og timeline,cale cares for therdeo even though he doesn't shown much and because they were childhood friends. Now after kim roksu took over cales body,he will provide affection for therdeo through money and well companionship especially handholding,cheek kisess and hugs. The kids for these two are only leonia from I became the adopted daughter of the male lead and ashtarte from ashtarte manhwa(she is adopted as cale found her in an abandoned palace)

I actively refuse to read totcf/tboah cause I want to finish orv first so I can't talk about Cale.

Claude×Therdeo: Idk how Theo would remind him of Diana can you explain that part?

I just can't see it. Celphi and Athy siblings? I can see that but Claude×Therdeo just isn't doing it for me. Sorry oomf ☹️☹️☹️

My In-Laws are Obsessed with Me

Pereshati Jahardt is a count's daughter who got remarried after her mother’s passing. When her father died, he left her all his fortune. The

I'm going to 1) boost this absolutely fantastic webtoon because i love it so much and i really would love to see other people interact with it and 2) so it makes sense for it to be on this particular blog, do a little brainstorm for what kind of fanfic i would theoretically write for it

And ao3 is down right now anyway, so you may as well, lol

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ MY IN-LAWS ARE OBSESSED WITH ME:

Season 1 just finished (75 chapters total) with Season 2 scheduled for next year (presuming translation time) so if you're worried about starting something that isn't complete or, conversely, jumping in to something that is dead in the water, do not worry this webtoon will take care of you

I consume a lot of garbage media so trust me in knowing what is and isn't garbage. Yes the title is weird and also it initially looks like a cheesy vampire harlequin but trust me it's not.

It's got everything I love and, hopefully, if you're reading this post you love some of these things too: time travel, political ramifications for things, DRAMA, beautiful fashions, the slowest of slowest burns of yearning, supernatural mystery revolving around a blood curse, a female lead who is more concerned about SURVIVAL and VENGEANCE and BUSINESS than romance (but also the romance is very cute eventually, emphasis on the eventually)

The art in general is stunning (again, kudos to the fashion) and the story telling in the visual medium is absolutely heartbreaking. Slight spoilers, but there's a part where it gets into the ML's PTSD from being at war and the way it's portrayed is absolutely devastating. Actually a lot of the FL's anxieties and self doubts are also portrayed wonderfully in this medium. It's THOUGHTFUL in its usage of imagery. There's also a fun recurring bit where every time the FL is framed weirdly in the shot it's because the ML is right next to her right off screen being devastatingly handsome

The side characters are great. The titular in-laws are fantastic. I weep thinking about the residence manager who is so bad at his job and openly cries about having to do work. Celphius would be my son if he weren't so enamored by having Pereshati as his mom instead.

All of the characters are SMART. Or, at least, they're logical. I never ask "why are they doing this?" because everyone is acting rationally for what information/abilities/biases they do have. And yes, the biases are important also (because god knows I hate the villains but they are, unfortunately, rational in their cruelty).

They're also proactive about things? Like, very often protagonists are just reacting to the next awful thing thrown their way, but both the FL and ML are taking steps to achieve their goals even if a lot of it is off-screen.

Please. I beseech thee, read the first ten chapters at least, if you've gotten this far in this post, just read the first ten chapters.

Anyway, so as to at least maintain the thinnest veneer of this being a writing post, the theoretical fanfic I'd write for this series is under the cut and does contain SPOILERS:

It would appear, at first, like a straightforward AU, beginning with the characters at the age they are in the canon. So ~early/mid-20s(?) ish?

But, just straight up, Therdeo is not the grand duke and Pereshati is an imperial secretary(?/scholar?). But Therdeo is probably head of the knights of the grand dukedom, so he has to be in the capitol for ~reasons~ especially since he's probably still the "hero" of the war.

The fic appears to be a straight forward meet-cute romance between elite knight, third son of the Lapileons and imperial secretary, only daughter of the Zahardt countdom. The levels are not exactly equal, but it's a lot more evened out than in canon. Maybe there's still a "please pretend to marry me so I don't get trapped in an engagement with the 4th princess" but her vibes are SO RANK I don't even want to deal with that :/

So now why does it only APPEAR to be a straight forward meet-cute romance?

Double time travel.

Well, possibly quintuple time travel depending on how deep into it we get, but basically: Pereshati and the four Lapileon in-laws who are older than her (Therdeo, Saoirse, Phineas, Gloria) all travel back to the first time someone died from Gen's blood being sold (not Islette's) which is at least several years, if not over a decade from the canon start time.

Maybe the Lapileons coordinate with each other about this, but regardless, since it's from Pereshati's view she wouldn't get to see that.

On her side what changes is: unfortunately, I don't think she can save her mother. But maybe she can prevent her father from re-marrying and emphasize cherishing the family they already have (ie, each other and her uncle+his family). And because she does now have so much experience running a household and is, you know, a fully educated grown adult in a child's body, when she goes to the academy she does EXTREMELY well. Like. Imperial Scholar well.

And, yes, she is her father's heir. But he's healthy and not married to someone who will kill him, so she sort of has the freedom to have this imperial scholar job for a while until he decides he wants to retire and have her take over, etc.

So she's working in the capitol, and Therdeo's also in the capitol.

Or maybe she works at the academy as a teacher now?

If Celphius didn't still exist, I would cry. But maybe his father is still alive and that's why Therdeo isn't the grand duke. Or even if Celphius' dad is dead (RIP) then Saoirse's family is definitely still alive and so SHE'S the grand duke(/duchess) and Celphius has an older cousin that he has to be VERY CAREFUL WITH.

Regardless, at the very least. Saoirse's son goes to the academy. Maybe the meet cute is, now that Celphius is old enough, he ALSO gets to go to the academy. And as a Good Uncle (This Time) Therdeo will be there to support him and also bring him to the Academy and be an extra set of eyes for whichever of his older siblings is the grand duke and anyway he meets Pereshati and they are both trying to hide the fact that they know each other because of time travel while also falling in love(?)

Maybe.

I just really liked the idea of re-leveling their respective statuses so they can stand on more equal footing when they meet T_T

ANYWAY PLEASE READ IT. I KNOW AO3 IS DOWN NOW ANYWAY, SO YOU MAY AS WELL
