♦️Did you know this about Villains Are Destined to Die?♦️

The famous gossip girl is not in the manhwa, since Reynold currently fulfills that role lmao

[kibo-ichiro]

Penelope: What? Callisto and I aren’t dating.

Reynold: Sure….Hey, what do bees make?

Penelope: Honey?

Callisto, waking up from a nap: Yes, dear?

Reynold: Never lie to me again.

I finally got volume 5 of the manhwa and man did it convince me that the print version is superior

Them not censoring Reynold is everything, (they’re enabling him actually sksksksks). He got his moment and served lmao

Reynold is Callisto’s #1 hater confirmed because otherwise ain’t no way he would’ve cussed him out like that—especially on palace grounds 😭✋

I can’t with them, literally funniest characters in the manhwa, they’re carrying the story on their backs and doing a damn good job at that too, manchildren I tell you

The beginning of the chapter:

End of the chapter:

I like absolutely everything here. Perhaps because of a preconceived notion, because I have been waiting for this for many years... but I can not contain this feeling.

The beginning of the chapter, when everything is in warm colors. In the gloomy dining room, the renovations are completed, the Eckhart family sits down together again and makes fun of Reynold. And finally, a short conversation between the Duke and Penelope...

However, this changed with the hasty news that Pennel brought. The warm color fades, and cold fills everything. Excitement and a strange premonition.

And here it is. All the emotions are visible in their eyes.

The fourth season is going to be intense. This is just the beginning.

And in some ways these two dresses are similar to each other-

[aylz]

Someone gives her a break please. She’s been going through hell from like— season 0 ? 🧍🏻‍♀️

Villains are destined to die, preview of Ep. 139!

“Don’t apologize. Because I don’t want to receive your apology.”

Deepening conflict, changing situation.

Who will be by Penelope's side now?

[viroman]

Callisto: Princess, you look wonderful!

Penelope: oh, thank you!

Callisto: your maids try so hard before every meeting, you just shine.

Penelope: ahah, yes, my maids...

Reynold, who paints her nails, does her hair, helps with the selection of dresses and jewelry: fashion is my profession😏✨

Vadd as it’s always sunny in Philadelphia

[penelope-regulus]

Crying at the realization that Reynold barely had a role in the story-

Was he even mentioned when normal mode was being discussed? As I recall it, Callisto was mentioned killing Penelope and falling in love with Ivonne and making her empress, Winter was mentioned to have turned back time at the end and brought her to the estate, Eckles was loyal to Penelope but switched to Laila's side and took care of her, Derrick... Well his role was also minimal if I recall correctly, but!

...But then there's also the route Penelope's taking in the current timeline, following the plot. So little is mentioned about Reynold!

For example, what are his ambitions? Penelope wants to survive, Callisto wishes to be the perfect emperor, Winter wants to save the world, Derrick wants to be succeed and become a duke that can care for and protect his family Eckles wants freedom, Laila wishes to become immortal and rule the world, *the empress wants to throne her son*, but what of Reynold?

Unless he really, truly, just wanted nothing more than to bully Penelope at first and have her kicked out of the house, and then be one of the babygirls that take care of her without end...?

I try coming up with headcanons about his life during and after the main story, but there's so little to work with (Although it's not just with him for after the main story, but also all the other mls) 😭

I've seen him training, so perhaps he wishes to become a swords master? But it's highly likely it's just because he'll eventually become the commander of knights and he has to do this-

Maybe, he'll work to protect commoners better after learning Penelope's story in the attic scene? Since he's compassionate? Like Robin Hood, as someone once said to me?

Or he could build a fortune gambling-

But I need more about him!!!! Or my life as a Reynold stan will be incomplete-!

[red-hot-temper]

Reynold in episode 129 lol

[kibo-ichiro]

Penelope: Wtf, people actually tell their crushes they like them?

Reynold: What the hell do YOU do?

Penelope: I die? Lmao, what kind of question….

With the release of chapter 138 of the manhwa, we got to see the first attempt at brainwash up close, and also how Penelope’s suspicions cement themselves as true. Time for another chapter analysis and theory-crafting session RAAAAH 🦅🦅 (be mindful that it contains spoilers!)

We’ve seen before how Penelope had this idea that the Laila was Ivonne, and it appears that she’s becoming more and more convinced of it.

Penelope is very much creeped out by this, and also doesn’t feel inclined to interact with ‘Ivonne’ more than necessary since this signals the ending of hard mode approach. Though that does not stop ‘Ivonne’ from trying to get close to her…or better yet, to play victim whenever Penelope’s around, to try and make it pass off as Penelope’s doing, with fake tears and everything.

After a conversation, which Penelope cuts short (understandable), ‘Ivonne’ tries to follow her but trips and falls. To someone else it might look like Penelope might’ve done it (that is exactly what ‘Ivonne’ aims at).

Penelope catches her mid-fall, and notices with dread for the second time that ‘Ivonne’ is unnaturally cold, just as you’d expect a corpse to be.

This is the part where Penelope gets overwhelmed; it hits her that this might truly not be the real Ivonne and so Penelope tells her to pretend like she doesn’t exist, she’s basically telling her to do whatever she wants because she won’t intervene with her plans.

This is where you can see how things are starting to affect Penelope mentally, but also physically as she will become increasingly thinner because she avoids meals to not be anywhere near the ‘real daughter’.

During this, Reynold comes back from training assumedly, and something interesting happens with him, something that can be seen in his eyes, basically that strange glow.

His change in demeanor is very odd, as he tells Penelope off for whatever reason, accusing her of wanting to hit Ivonne all along. It all spirals when he uses Penelope’s past against her, aka what she told him in the attic, saying that her behavior is the motive she isn’t treated as an Eckhart.

It makes something in Penelope snap, because she actually had high hopes for Reynold, but in the end she got disappointed again. Her words “You haven’t changed at all.” get Reynold out whatever trance he was in and he follows after her where he apologizes for having misunderstood. This is where the chapter ends currently.

From here the theory-crafting/speculating starts.

Some time ago, SUOL-nim made a post on her Twitter/X account where she posted this image:

This is one of those moments when you applaud the artist for their great attention for details, because if you look closely there’s a pattern going on. Both Reynold and Derrick have this pink highlight at the bottom of their eyes, but when you look at Ivonne, she has a green highlight.

I was suspicious when I first saw it, but looking at it now, it was obviously overshadowing.

We can see it more clearly here, right under her pupils where the green spots appear. It looks unnatural and artificial, almost as if it wasn’t meant to be there in the first place.

It could be related to the glow that appears in Reynold’s eyes when he is under the control of the brainwash.

I think that Reynold wasn’t supposed to break free of the brainwash here. But when he does shake off the effects of the mind control, you can see how his gaze changes from indifferent/angry, back to normal.

When there’s that unnatural glint in his pupil, his eyes look lifeless, with most of the light having been sucked away from them, and the usual pinkish highlights turn a murky grey. Even the blue’s shade looks darker and more muted.

Maybe this might be the initial stage of the brainwash? What if it changes and becomes even more evident the longer the target is under the effects of the brainwash?

Tbh I’m curious to see how the others’ eyes changes under the effects of the brainwash and how they look even while resisting it. After the greenhouse scene (which is going to be in the upcoming episodes) it is hinted that Callisto seemed to resist being brainwashed, can’t wait for that.
