12. List 3 ships you currently love

26. What’s ONE location that’s important to them?

To be honest, I've never been much of a shipper, not until FFXIV anyway. (It really does rewire your brain!) And it's actually very rare for me to ship anything in any kind of popular media. But I'm not going to go easy on myself by listing Severia x Nero! So sorry if some of these are really obscure.

WoL/Elidibus. This is... mostly theoretical. I absolutely adore Elidibus and I want to ship someone with him so badly! I have yet to ascertain if either of my possible OCs (not Severia, of course) would work with him. (I have certain IDEAS for Noloty, but I have to get her deeper into the story to be sure.) But just the whole WoL/Elidibus VIBE is SO GOOD.

Rishe Irmgard Weitzner/Arnold Hein from 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life with her Worst Enemy! light novels/anime. I started reading these novels a while back and instantly fell in love. They are, I think, the best iteration of the core trope I've seen so far. And the FL and ML are SO GOOD. I love their relationship. I love that they are both wickedly intelligent and both have their own goals and motivations which sometimes put them at odds but always ultimately bring them closer together. I want them to have a happily ever after so bad!

Noloty Malche/Enlike Bishile from Tatakau Shisho (aka The Book of Bantorra) light novels/anime. These are some of my all time favorite books, right up there with LOTR and Dune. And my favorite character from them is Noloty Malche (whom my Noloty is modeled on). The thing about their relationship is that 1. Enlike is a horribly traumatized person 2. Noloty is like his Sun 3. there's practically no actual romance but they are so, so, so important to each other and 4. they should have had more time! I will forever be crying over them but I love, love, love them dearly.

Moving on!

One location that is important to Severia and Nero... I'm going to go with their house in the Lavender Beds. It might seem like the easy answer, but it's very significant to Severia's growth. She was always the kind of person who preferred being on the move, never settling down anywhere. Even her rooms at the Rising Stones were just bare bones where she sometimes slept and nothing else until Nero came along. Nero has of course also been moving around without a home for a long time due to having a military career. But I think he's always wanted to have a home with someone. Buying a house and making it into somewhere for them to stay and live in together after EW is a big move for them. And Severia ends up loving it much more than she thought she would.

Thanks so much for the ask! 🥰

The Dying Villainess Denies Adoption

Original Novel: Seo Gwijo (“When the Villainess is in Love”, “Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant”, & “Please Obsess Over Me”) Storyboard: chanok (“the Crown’s Shadow”) Art: Yeoman

Season 2 starts June 23rd! I’m prepared for a timeskip.

FL: Ibellin “Bell” ML: Raven “Ray” Noss

Allies: Raven’s dad, Rastaban Noss (& mom, Celestia Noss) Zyle Rocarte (og2ML), adopted son of the prime minister. Jade, Bell’s master, a potion maker. Jack & Sarah Saint Lucielle Ochre Bridium, second prince Hamel Ayghar King of Ayghar & Bell’s Uncle The wolves, especially Pell (who doubles as a way to contact her brother, the god of this world)

Enemy: Emperor of the Bridium Empire (& his allies in the Rohm Kingdom)

FL wakes up in the body of Ibellin, a side villain in "The mindset of a fallen saint" & a half elf suffering from a terminal illness. She wrote it with her younger brother, who was terminally ill & in the hospital about Lucielle, a saint locked away by the temple; male lead Adrian Bridium, imperial prince; Zyle Rocarte, second ML & adopted son of the prime minister. The villain, Raven Noss, is "the demon king's son". Raven's family was betrayed by a vassal that poisoned him & his father. Raven escaped a slave guild, was tricked by Ibellion, & traded back to the slave guild for her painkiller. Raven was taken to the palace & abused for ten years there before he escaped; when we returned home, he had to kill his father who had been turned into the demon king by the emperor. Trying to change the original story, FL still takes in Raven, but has no plans to turn him into the slave guild. Instead, she tries to get an apprenticeship with the potion maker in town, Jade. She gets the herb, Bard, she needs to start the cure process on her own too & starts eating a bowl of it every morning; she starts coughing up blood, which shows it's time for stage two (10). Over time, Raven starts to recover under Ibellin's care, they befriend each other, he starts to fall for her, he saves her when Jack & Sarah, meaning to play a prank, endanger Ibellion's life, end up befriending Jack & Sarah because Ibellion offers to teach them to read, & separately, his father recovers. To continue her cur process, Ibellion looks for the Olivier berry, to form a contract with a potion map, but instead gets the Holy Chalice (11); she learns that Raven's mother, Celestia, was a half blood. The emperor tells slave guild owners to start looking for Raven because his father has woken up. The local slaver finds Raven & Ibellion's, & he plans to get them both into slavery. He tries to get a document signed by Kira, the baker (but her children are actually learning to read from Ibellion & have befriended her); Nass, who distributes poison; & Jade, the potion maker that Ibellion has been working under & has made a lot of money. All of them turn him away, he gets some thugs & tries to take them by force, but Raven beats them up. They turn them into the town, but the main slaver gets away, he runs into Raven's dad though & might be dead (13-14).

Ibellion starts selling magic cookies & moisturizing creams under the brand Bell, which catches the eye of Zyle, who's been made to look for Raven by the prime minister. Ibellion picks Zyle up from the streets, not recognizing him & he decides to stay when he sees Raven is there too. Zyle is around when Ibellion is teaching the kids (Jack & Sarah) to read & she says "[…] it's unfair for someone to have their right to learn how to read taken away just because of a piece of paper" (17). Eventually, Zyle leaves, but Ibellion wins him over. She ends up living at Raven's. They go see the wolves & tree she needs, which are nearby, & her knowledge of medicine help heal a baby wolf, later named “Pell”, & she becomes their savior (26). The monsters say "your majesty". Sarah, Jack, & Jade find blood in Bell's house, but no Bell, so they write to Saint Lucielle & Zyle, & everyone gathers at House Noss. Bell worries the plot has been derailed (27-29). Raven tells Zyle & Lucielle that Bell made a potion with blood, & the only one Zyle knows of is a "painless death" potion. Jade comes too, sees Bell's potion lab, they find notes from FIL (30). Bell realizes her treatment might be different than the original one because it was for someone half demon, & she's half elf. Raven finds her fainting as she coughs up blood (31). The emperor sends second prince, Ochre Bridium, a small child, to House Noss. Bell is soft on kids & realizes she's got something other than elf blood. Bell learns about Kim San the shapeshifter, Raven tells her about Dimension Shifting. Bell learns the Holy Chalice can create a soul from nothing. Dimension shifters protect the relic because their souls can break free of the logic in the world.

The emperor regrets killing Celestia Noss & wants Bell, who prepares for then leaves on her trip. Rastaban raids the imperial library, but the emperor thinks they're looking for the holy chalice. Celestia could talk to ghosts. Rastaban greets Hamel Ayghar, King of Ayghar, & asks him to look after Bell on her trip (32-35). Zyle returns to replace the prime minister & even exiles him; Lucielle returns to the temple to have High Priests Horus & Mercedes help her oust High Priest Marcus, but the emperor saves him. On her way to the Ayghar Kingdom, Bell is ambushed, attacked, & drugged by people of the Rohm Kingdom working with the emperor. Raven rescues Bell & takes her to Hamel Ayghar. While unconscious, Bell meets with her first-life little brother, who tells her he’s been sick because “those who are destined to become the god of a world must first be born as humans”, he’s recently awakened as the god of her new world, she should rely on others, & they can contact each other through Pell c38. Hamel confirms Bell is his niece; her mother, the kingdom’s late queen, had many children with various men. Bell tells Hamel that her symptoms are different because she has the blood of 3 races, making her a miracle child; Hamel explains the Holy Chalice might appear, can be used to turn people into puppets, & loves the souls of miracle children, like Celestia, who’s trapped in the chalice. Lucielle tells Rastaban that the emperor has a Holy Chalice full of souls. Ray tells Bell that he has something to tell her the next time they meet & leaves her in Hamel’s care.
