I definitely had a good reading month, and I’m looking forward to checking out these volumes, too. Currently halfway through Case File Compendium, which may be my last novel for a bit since FF7 Rebirth is here tomorrow haha.

Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits! #3

Late post! Sorry--this went up on Wordpress but we forgot to schedule it here.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting

It’s that time of the year again when both lonely and love-filled hearts come together to celebrate the Valentine’s holiday this coming week. Having engaged in this tradition of presenting matching outfits that make me happy for two years now, I’ve decided to make it a lasting ritual! So, here I am—posting while on break.

From For My Derelict Favorite on Webtoon, we have our main couple in a beautiful set of purple outfits. This love story is a slow burn, and it’s nice to see the planning for their couple outfit in the story itself. This is the chapter were our ML is really starting to get to know his wife and starting to care about knowing her. It is a cute and nice inclusion. I also love that these two have begun consistently wearing matching outfits as time goes on, mostly with purple as their primary color.

From I Will Fall With the Emperor (not officially translated yet) we have a great villain couple. They’ve been subtly matching for a while now and this is shown to be a thoughtful inclusion by the artist/writer because throughout the series, characters that want to be on the MC’s side are shown to change their style of dress to match hers. Seeing the two matching in the beautiful burgundy above shows them coming closer as a couple, and also fits their villainous aesthetic!

From The Promise on Inker (Chapter 19), we have a more modern ensemble choice for the same-sex couple in this particular scene. Unlike most of the series where the couple does not wear matching outfits, they attend this event in coordinated attire. The significance becomes apparent when we see that all the couples in the series appear in matching outfits of distinctly different colors/styles for the event. This act symbolizes partnership and, to some extent, ownership at that moment. Interestingly, the love interest is likely the one that selected the outfits, notably choosing a shade of purple that complements our main character’s eyes.

From The Male Lead’s Little Lion Daughter on Tapas, we have another cute matching outfit between a father and daughter! I mentioned these two before in my last matching outfits post of 2023, and here they are again dressed up in similar colors and styles for a day out.

Also from a title mentioned last year is this lovely family unit in matching yellow outfits from Also from a title mentioned last year is this lovely family unit in matching yellow outfits from When the Villainess is in Love on Tapas:

Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom / I’m just a Stepmother but my Daughter is just so cute

I love how punny the official english title is XD

Summary  Poor FL died from overwork. In her previous life she was a children’s clothing designer. So of course, when she wakes up as the stepmother to SUPER CUTE Snow White Blanche, it’s like she struck the lottery! Too bad this new, beautiful person has a horrible case of Resting Bitch Face / Evil Villainess Smirk. TW for the King’s backstory which was so triggering that tapas even gave the option of skipping it entirely and providing a quick summary. The actual main plotline is quite fluffy and cute so it actually is pretty jarring.

Tropes   - isekai-ed as the villainess   - cute baby doing cute baby things   - how DARE you mess with MY (step)DAUGHTER   - just throw all these bloodline-obsessed nobles away   - this is just an arranged marriage he/she would never love me   - what’s this? 3-dimensional characters? in my fairy tale?

FL - Abigail Freidkin

- basically a clothing otaku - fashion history 101 with Teacher Abigail - that feel when you have the heart of a *maiden* but the face of a *VILLAINESS*  - ~*CUTENESS aggression*~

little baby girl - Princess Blanche Friedkin

- sweet summer child precious cinnamon roll, too pure for this earth - baby - playing cupid for daddy and (step)mummy

ML - King Sabrian Friedkin

- please protecc this preshus puppy - *real nobles* don’t know what ~FEELINGS~ are

Rating: Yes PLEASE READ THIS Status (as of 30 Oct 2022) Ongoing~

Same Same but Different  - A Wicked Tale of Cinderella’s Stepmother  - Follow the Bread Crumbs  - The Rewards of Marriage / I found a Husband when I picked up the Male Lead  - The Perfect Ending Plan of a Fairy Tale Villainess

My copy of the Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom comic (also know as I’m Only a Stepmother but My Daughter is just So Cute) arrived! I loved the novel version of this story and was so disappointed when the company translating it shutdown. I’m glad that at least the comic version is getting an English translation so I can continue collecting the story.

This is an isekai/reincarnation parody of Snow White. The protagonist died and is reincarnated into the body of Snow White’s wicked stepmother. Now she must work to earn the trust of her stepdaughter and husband while dealing with her position as queen. I like how the story develops and slowly builds on the characters’ relationships. And of course, the art is beautiful.

"Publisher Description. Once upon a time, there was a lovely young princess who suffered under her cruel stepmother… that is, until a children’s clothing designer is reborn as the evil queen! All Her Majesty, Abigail Friedkin, wants to do is dote on the adorable Princess Blanche and give her the happy childhood she deserves. The problem is, the previous Abigail has garnered a reputation for being extremely jealous and materialistic-and to top it off, her smile is the stuff of children’s nightmares! Will Abigail be able to convince her stepdaughter that she might not be so wicked after all?"

[nope-the-weeb]

the principle:  reading and analyzing complex/intricate/difficult to understand media is overrated. I don’t watch monogatari for the same reason I check out in english class: if all your effort is spent understanding something, it becomes more difficult to make interesting analyses. 

the reality: (reading something for entertainment) whAT wHY The FuCk WoULd you do that pLEASE STOP i could work this better and that’s saying something this is stupid my life is stupid why am I reading this (collapsing neutron star of cringe)

ROUND 1C, MATCH 1 OUT OF 8!

*This comic has two titles: "Not-Sew Wicked Stepmom" and "I'm Only a Stepmother, but My Daughter is Just so Cute!" Both are tagged, though only one appears in the poll options.

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Nadia:

Snow White's stepmother is moving towards a happy ending, but will her happily ever after be dooming Nadia to be foam?

Aurelia:

Based heavily on the original tale but she never dies (or even gets legs) and instead basically becomes an anthropologist.

Aries:

She takes the role of Ariel but is much stronger and self sufficient, and is more fish than any other adaptations I've heard of
