Rashta fans need to bite back for the YEARS of everyone calling her "Trashta"

Navier is Slavier

(for condoning and befriending Rashta's abusive slave owner Lebetti)

Heinrey can be Heinazi

(commits war crimes and actively harms literal children by stealing their magic)

and people are already calling Sovieshu "Soviet Union"

AU where Rashta lives and remains the Empress of the East, and Sovieshu adopts Ian for random reasons

The garden of the Western Palace gleamed beneath the midday sun. White and crimson roses lined the perfumed paths, and the air swelled with the murmur of guests and the distant harmony of a violin and cello duet.

Kai wandered about with a basket slung over his shoulder. Several roses were still left to deliver, but his enthusiasm had faded ever since Lari —with a suspiciously sweet smile— convinced him to hand out hers as well, which was practically an entire bouquet compared to the single rose he had given before the blackmail.

Looking for distraction, he slipped between the hedges until something caught his attention.

A few meters away, a lady was playing with her son beside the pond. He could only see her back, bent down to pick up a ball the boy had dropped. There was something dreamlike in her aura —in the calm way she laughed, in how the air itself seemed gentler around her— that made Kai stop in his tracks.

At least, he thought, he could hand out three roses at once.

He ran toward her and, his voice trembling with excitement, called out: —“Lady!”

The woman turned, and for a moment, time seemed to stop. Kai couldn’t tell if it was her gaze or the serenity she radiated, but there was something about her that made one want to speak kindly, even without knowing her. She was the kind of “beautiful woman” who made words come out pure.

She looked like the angels from the fairytales his sister used to read—though, of course, no one could ever surpass his mother, the most important and beautiful woman in his life.

He lifted the rose solemnly. —“A rose for the lady ”

She laughed softly, her sweetness melting away any trace of awkwardness he might have caused with his loud voice.

—“What a well-mannered boy…” she said, accepting the flower. “What’s your name?”

Kai puffed out his chest. —“I’m the future Emperor of the West, His Highness Kai Lazlo Trovi.”

—“Really?” she asked, her eyes glimmering with nostalgia. “You’ve grown so much. When I first heard of you, you were barely the size of a toy .”

The boy looked at her with curiosity.

—“You’ve seen me before? I don’t remember you… and I’m good at remembering faces.”

Rastha smiled with faint hesitation. —“And you, who do you think I am?”

Kai scratched his head, thinking. Before he could answer, the lady’s son ran back with the ball, clinging to his mother’s skirt and staring at Kai with open suspicion.

—“Who’s that ugly boy, Mama?”

—“I’m not ugly!” Kai shouted, his cheeks flaring red.

Rastha couldn’t hold back a light laugh, and for a moment, the air filled with petals and the echo of childhood.

What do you mean the person we arw supposed to be rooting for is okay with SLAVERY?!

And what do you mean the villain is a run-away slave girl who gets looked down on for that?

Thought of Rashta

[heyhoneyfox]

The best fictional men are the ones that allow themselves to be rescued by a pretty girl that could fight god and win and just. Stare at her. Blushing. In love. Because they're just like "wow. She is so strong and so beautiful I must be her wife."

And rather than being salty about it or trying to one-up her they just help her in her time of need and always try to humbly return the favour and be her ally. So rather than having the thought process of "ugh I can't believe a girl saved me :/" it's "wow I can't believe such a strong and pretty girl was willing to use her power to help me!" (The right line of thinking tbh)

The remarried empress fandom,

What would you do if your favorite character was suddenly transported into our world and you have to take care of them?

[bipolar-goblin-nightmare-hag]

I'm trying to re-establish some amount of mental engagement with existence instead of dissociatively autopiloting everything I do. That's why I'm liveblogging my reading of a graphic novel. I've never done anything like that before.

The Remarried Empress part 6

Ch 98: "His Majesty hides all his thoughts by smiling." One of the aspects of this romance is that Heinrey is sincerely ecstatic to be with Navier. He lets through the occasional display of self-consciousness or disappointment, but what makes this a romance that I enjoy is that with Navier, he's not manipulative, controlling, angry, moody, bitchy, selfish, etc--he doesn't take out his negative emotions on her (like the opposite of Sovieshu). My idea of romance and a good relationship is emotional and physical safety. I know some people enjoy like, volatile aggression or whatever, but that's not what I'm here for.

So why is it awesome and cute that Heinrey is always excited to see Navier but gross and creepy when Rashta is always excited to see Sovieshu? Heinrey is genuinely expressing his emotion. Rashta is performing a cutesy, childish persona designed to trigger the male protective instinct because she sees Sovieshu as her ticket to survival. She a golddigger. Rashta has a lot of internal monologues written out that clearly relay her motivations. Heinrey has very few thought bubbles in comparison. Maybe that's a sign of honesty. Maybe the narrative is hiding something.

Ch 99: So mortified (probably also other things) that Navier saw him at the fountain. And then, yay hand-holding! He has simple desires. It's adorable

Ch 99: Heinrey clearly has sharing food as a sign of affection, meanwhile with Sovieshu, Navier had 2 or less meals per week with him, at opposite ends of a long table. Like everything with Heinrey is the opposite of Sovieshu and she does not know how to understand it.

Ch 99: Laying on the flirtatious charm so hard now that he knows Navier was more embarrassed than angry

Ch 103: Is he going to invade the Eastern Empire on his wedding day? That's some serious multitasking

Ch 106: he's so happy to receive any amount of reassurance

Ch 108: Calm down, Mr Seduction

I think he understands at this point that Navier isn't offended, scared, or disinterested, so the confident charm comes out.

Ch 110: Got to be honest, if my husband were a shapeshifter, I would snuggle with him in animal form all the time. Animal cuddles are so relaxing and I hope my husband would not yell and run away like the cats do.

Ch 111: "The situation below is not good..."

Ch 113: "I cannot leave my wife with another angry man." Yes, good. Also Navier grabbing Heinrey's hand and outrightly rejecting Sovieshu, what a power move

Ch 114: nonverbal emotional support

Ch 117: yay bird cuddle time, finally some quality, uninterrupted bird cuddle time

Ch 117: "She think I'm cute! I'm a cute husband! ☺️ Wait... 💀 husbands should be sexy! MCKENNA AM I SEXY???"

To be continued...
