Gouthmai & The Empire + Citadel: speedrunning atrocities at the Battle of Eleven Brooks + One More Brook
Meanwhile, across the globe
Ruve: an insane rager on the beaches, Fireball by Pit Bull shakes the earth, the witches that sided with the man in black are chilling in lounge chairs
Really? Tell me more about how insufferable Aristia was during that time where Moira was a relevant character
Preferably with some panels as proof but you can just tell me what you remember from memory I don't mind
The context for the scene above was that Moira challenged Artistia to a duel for the present that Ruve was preparing for her. Moira won after the FL let her and got her present which was a pair of heels. She wore them when dancing with Ruve and because they were meant for the FL they broke in the middle of the dance. The whole thing was planned to be humiliating for Moira for “not knowing her place” and Ruve did this to gain Aristia affection. What really irks me is the fact that this kind of situation happens on more than one instance where Ruve basically props Aristia for success with him and she will reject or ignore his advances.
Now that by itself isn’t bad, what does make it bad is the fact that she doesn’t really reject him! In the next chapters she accepts a gift from him and then wears it (the dress) AND wears a crown only meant for royalty even though her whole goal is to get away from the very thing, and of course she humiliates Moira to show off how good of a person and eventual Empress she will be…
This happens again and again: Aristia rejects Ruve and the crown but then she doesn’t actually because in the next chapters she basically fights for what she “doesn’t” want. It only gets worse when Jieun is introduced because it’s that cycle but turned up to the max, it was a drag to read and made Aristia look stupid because her actions did not reflect her thoughts

More Ruve Slander <3
“Ruve is perfect for Tia because unlike the other male leads, he tells her his feelings directly, and it’s what Tia wants most of all, to be loved.”
Bitch, Carsein is just a teenager right now so of course he’s immature and naive when it comes to love, it’s normal. ALSO he was deadass gonna confess to her in this scene but author is a cuck so he didn’t get to
Mans protects her with his entire life, he sacrificed his eyes to do it ffs
His feelings for her are the purest, he is perfect with her, he is by her side talking to her as close friends, she is at ease with him always.
Also Ruve’s bangs are too long, cut them loser
While Carsein’s hair is unique and perfectly spiked, he is beautiful inside and out
Also we all know the Green One is crazy so not even gonna go there 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Aristia will choose this time.
*Interested eyes at an idea from a post I saw on here* Well well well- this is in my lane!
Aristia's boots feel firm on the ground as she steps towards the light, away from the palace as she wipes her sword on her handkerchief. A pained groan of, "Aristia- wait...!" escapes from behind her. She stops in place, as if reminded of something she's forgotten.
Abandoned Empress Hate
I hate whenever someone hates on Abandoned Empress, that’s because it’s always the same excuse “how dare the author disregard Tia’s trauma and still make her end up with Ruve” which is the dumbest argument ever since that’s not even what happened.
*spoilers ahead*
We gotta understand Tia was worried about the past would repeat itself, except that second timeline Ruve actually looked out for her and her wellbeing. He wanted her to feel comfortable with him. In one of the early half of the chapters shows that he left Tia alone just so that she could rest after going into psychological shock.
After Tia came back to her 10 year old body her trauma was portrayed in almost all of season 1. Her motive is to change her fate and to not have to suffer ever again and having 0 worry about death. Let me remind you that being strong also applies to the mind. Ruve and Tia interact more in this timeline due to their marriage which helps Tia learn more about this Ruve. Mind you, Tia taking revenge on anyone for doing something to her that happened later on wouldn’t be justified, since, as she even said, she had already changed her fate.
After reading the letter Ruve didn’t even want to disturb Tia because he cared about her, and he knew that if she saw him she’d fall into distress and possibly have a panic attack from all the trauma. He deeply respected Tia and her boundaries even at one point deciding that if his feelings towards her aren’t mutual that he’d move on and leave her alone.
Her trauma wasn’t dismissed from the story, but we also have to understand that her trauma was caused by a different person. Tia saw how this Ruve dealt differently with different situations, and how he had a whole different personality/character from the other Ruve, and so she eventually warmed up to him and felt safe around him.
He gave her the love and happiness that she had always desired because he was a different person. 99.9 percent of the fandom had either dropped the story because of a spoiler, even though there were SO many interesting and fun events in the story. And other people who don’t understand the meaning of timelines spoiled it while putting a bad review on it because they disliked the ending.
Poor author-chan got death threats because of the ending (ง'̀-'́)ง
Sacrifices were made that day for Ruve’s development
