Bro PLEASE tell me why was I strolling through tumblr and came across a post about wmmap, saying that “Jennette should’ve ended up with Luca instead of Athy” Like?? I don’t mind the ship ( at ALL ) but saying that it should be canon?? And then there were people in the comments saying that Jennette should’ve became Claude REAL daughter instead of Athy, like Huh??? Like what is the reason for that😭?? And then they was saying they was “ tired of Jennette being seen as a villain in manhwa and she should’ve had a good ending too” but she is being seen as an angel in the manhwa?? And she ALSO had a happy ending with her ACTUAL father😀?? I’m convinced that they dropped the manhwa and didn’t read the rest of it🙂🙂
Hi, I heard that the donghua Athy will have prophetic dreams instead of being a reincarnated person and that Lucas will probably remain in his adult form all the time( I hope this is not true I want to see baby Lucas but considering the first pv, i think it will probably be true, hopefully not). I fear that their dynamic will change and Lucas is gonna catch pe*o allegations now 😭 even though they were two adults pretending to be kids.
The first thing is pretty much confirmed, going by the donghua's summary, but the details are unclear. I don't know if the "LP timeline" was only a vision or something more, it's too early to tell. As for Lucas only staying in his adult form, I don't know what makes you/people think that?
Lucas was introduced in his adult form in the novel and manhwa, and he is wearing the same outfit in the PV, so it seems to me that that'll be his introduction scene. I guess we'll have to see if he keeps his younger form, but the donghua's summary confirms that they will fall in love, so I doubt the chinese team will suddenly make it weird? (Especially when chinese media is heavily censored, which is likely the reason the plot was adapted to be less violent). Let's also remember that Lucas used his adult form multiple times in the manhwa, so if people disliked that, um, it's nothing new?
I know you mean no harm, but part of me feels like I shouldn’t even address this possible "discourse" because it's way too dumb. Some people have called novel and manhwa lucathy problematic before, for multiple reasons, all of them idiotic, so I'm sure they'll find a reason to dislike the donghua version too. I don't care, and you shouldn’t either.
We should just cancel Claude for the 1000th time.
Almost all isekai/time travel manhwa have an odd aspect since more often than not the protagonist is (mentally) way older than her love interest. No matter what, that's an element the writer can't avoid, but I think lucathy is one of the few pairings where this doesn't happen, because of their circumstances (Lucas slept for centuries so his body's age and his mental age are very different, plus he is a magician. There's no reason to think this will be different in the donghua. And Athy has her whole reincarnation thing. We'll see how that plays out.). Despite all of this, you have no one calling athykiel or other manhwa ships (I could give plenty of examples but I'd rather not) problematic because Athy/the FL is (at least) a (mentally) 30+ yo woman thinking a teenager is attractive. That's because manhwas are not that serious. Unless we are talking about the Princess Mint one. That one was weird and I don't like it.
Jennette was taught as a child, that she had to work for Claude's love and attention. That he was closed off and just needed the right person to make him open up again. He needed a special someone to fix him.
But it was easy. Roger was wrong, his majesty wasn't hard to get at all. Athanasia was killed for nothing.
Jennette never got to see her body. She rushed down to the dungeons hoping to at least give her one last goodbye, a prayer for her anguished soul.
But was only met with her ashes.
She took what she could anyways. Placed them in finest jar she had. Grew her own flowers for a funeral bouquet.
Often she sleeps with it, no one but her is allowed to touch it.
usually abby lee miller is the kind of monster you can ignore in the background. and then she says something like "my only hope for any kind of success...is maddie."
Okay but no actually. Athykiel is so Enemies to Lovers coded. Or at least Academic Rivals to Lovers. I've only been able to read the Manhwa, but seeing their interactions, especially in their younger years, just. Exudes that energy. JUST IMAGINE. Athy and Ijekiel constantly competing, even after the time skip. During the dance, instead of Athy being uncomfortable they just keep questioning each other on their knowledge of various topics. I would find that so hilarious as they are dancing so gracefully. Everybody is head over heels with their beauty while the two in question are at one another's throats. The moment Athy sees him again after his overseas study she is immediately on him on what languages he has learned and what she has done more of. Athy and Ijekiel looking like they are having a polite conversation when in reality they are so passive aggressive it's funny. Ijekiel teasing her by perhaps almost leaning in for a kiss before pushing himself away and asking a question on the paper she is doing (I'm delulu). Ijekiel falling first but having so much denial that this is the person he likes due to the whole Jennette scenario (she did nothing wrong), but also the fact that this is the girl that he has been competing against since day one when he thought she was an angel the day she rejected his/his father's offer to hangout because he wasn't smart enough. Ijekiel fell first but I can definitely see Athy falling harder. Just. I want to see their banter and fun conversations and teasing that we only got to see towards the end. They are both such sweethearts and they deserve a little silliness. They deserve to have the pining and rivalry that all Academic Rivals to Lovers get. Just. Ashsjshksbjsmks
Was trying to like. Imagine how a step-mother Penelope/step-daughter Athanasia AU would work. Claude would either never know about Penelope’s affair (or at least does not suspect about the pregnancy. Somehow) or would be so blinded by grief after Diana’s death that he would just pathetically accept Penelope back.
Obviously she could not pass Jennette as Claude’s so ..?? She would probably huh. Keep her as her forever dirty little secret or eventual pawn to use (maybe she is passed off as countess rosalia’s daughter?).
Her relationship with Athanasia would depend a lot on whether Athy is still reincarnated or not but I guess Penelope would either roll with Claude’s mistreatment of her (and probably have him disinherit her because she is, after all, his low-born bastard) or play the kind step-mother for politics (and the rest would also depend on whether or not they do have children together later on. maybe Anastasius using her as his black magic baby machine fucked her body up). Just imagine. The drama
I'm enamoured by the headcanon of LP Ijekiel having a weird superiority/inferiority complex towards the Obelia sisters. Ijekiel has been taught that he is lesser than Jennette and has to be subservient to her and at the same time Ijekiel has been taught that he is so much better than LP Athy and his talents + everything he worked for and has sacrificed would be wasted if he chose her.
"you were born for Jennette / your are nothing without Jennette"
He's confident as long as he's with Jennette because it means everything is going according to plan and his father will be proud of him, but he becomes deeply insecure and anxious when Jennette is not there because his existence is defined by her, so much that he cannot imagining existing without her. Almost as if he could disappear any moment if he were to let go of her hand and take Athy's.
Jennette x Ijekiel wedding night sex scene but Ijekiel is pretending he's fucking Athy otherwise he can't get it up and the entire time Jennette is dissociating and looking into the dead glassy eyes of Rosalia's hunting trophies hanging on the wall above her bed instead of Ijekiel and thinking of her dead sister whose body she put on ice somewhere
