I am convinced that Sherry is the mastermind behind Rey’s route.
Like you cannot tell me that Rey was not like “uh, so Sherry. How would you feel if I started dating your bestie” and she started telling him all about the wedding plans she had for them because she knew her bestie likes him too.
She and Rey likely planned this whole thing to invent a situation where they’d get bonding time and he’d get a chance to work up the nerve to confess.
That being said I have other thoughts on this route.
I’m pretty sure this event TANKED his popularity over on JP and I can already pinpoint why: he doesn’t quite FEEL like himself. Not until the end.
I will admit, if I had it my way, the Invidian royal family would be very different (lmk if you want to see what I’d have done with them instead). Rey himself, his very existence, is a concept that I like a lot. A prince who escaped being euthanized at birth because of his cult crazy grandpa (who definitely f*’ed up the psyches of his son and daughter-in-law a lot more than they let on), and has only recently learned he’s a prince.
I feel the writers don’t want to get into what his story would look like outside Roy’s book 2 because it would be so messy, and let’s not get into all that again… The problem is then that he just… doesn’t make sense outside it. Like why is HE, the eldest son, not in magic school working to see if he has unawakened Ancient Magic? Why is he some merchant guy???
He doesn’t quite fit into the rest of his family and part of that is that he is pretty much an adopted kid who reached out to find his biological family so he’s on friendly terms with them, but isn’t part of that family to the same degree.
I just think that he’s one of those characters who deserves more and isn’t going to get it because they don’t know what to do with him.
I will say that their bangs are too complex to be things I could see a plushie maker logistically doing, but that’s better than a random, unnecessary seam running through them
Maybe eventually I’ll come up with the time to make what I think their plushie hair would look like.
The Princess in the Mirror experience (pretty sure most of this is 鏡の中のプリンセス Love Palace)
(Tori’s route)
I may only understand about half of what these two say to each other, but they are a fantastic comedic duo and I would love to be in a poly relationship with them. What who said that—
Anyways, here’s some of the things I drew for the events that were translated
“Thank you”
Those events with MC’s old friends trying to break her up with her fiancée pissed me off
And since the cat’s name is Friedrich…
And my CoD sona with my PriMir sona
The clown outfit is still a work in progress but I’m definitely going to draw her again once I nail it down. I’ve never designed a clown before… 😅
It seems like some of the stuff in Lou’s book 1 implies that Vane died when she divided the worlds.
In the magic ending epilogue in particular seems to indicate this:
But I feel like there are other places where this is implied as well.
For one, we know it almost killed Vanum—he used so much magic that he literally blinded himself in one eye and the last interaction he had with Vane was her healing this.
Two, we never actually hear about what happened to Vane AFTER all was said and done. In Prince’s Path she has a small temple in a remote region that I’m just going to screenshot the world page description of:
That “saving” seems heavily implied to be dividing the realms.
And when she speaks to MC at the end of Lou’s path, it’s BEFORE the division, while Vanum speaks to Lou after it.
Additionally, you’d think that if Vane stuck around to keep magic hidden, she wouldn’t let people create places like this one:
So uh… new headcanon unlocked! Spelling it out under break for people who want the in depth thought.
Vane did not want anyone else to know the spell would almost definitely kill her and said she would stay behind on Earth for the first reason she could think of because she didn’t want Vanum to potentially watch her die when it was over
The reason Lou has to keep his goofy bed head is because if Lou fans got to see his entire face all the time, we would go feral.
I refuse to believe, however, that Vanum also had it. Surely someone told him it looks silly. Lou has it to hide his eye and Vanum doesn’t need that. Maybe Vane and Sanscha think it helps deter his suitors (which apparently he has a lot of??? Actually that’s not surprising; I’d simp for Vanum-).
I know that the reason he has it is because the art team just slapped Lou’s in a different outfit and called it a day but like… they couldn’t have use his brushed aside hair???
I just want to see his whole face more let’s be honest
