I love that Lilian York, on at least three separate occasions, used Felix as a wall/shield. And the look on her face–like, “Augh. I want to go home. I’m tired.” Is just so hilarious to me. Like, she’s not hanging out with other women, nor men–she literally came to these parties for some reason (like an obligation, maybe?) and just decided to hang out with Felix whenever … Continue reading WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…
theanimeview: I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,” particularly this scene: and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. I’m not going to … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
Alright. There are so many things going on right now with Athanasia that I don’t even know where to begin–particularly with her magic. Lucas (who is, it appears, coming to terms with his growing crush on Athanasia or at least interest beyond the surface level) has brought to our attention that something becomes shattered about Athanasia’s mana when she starts thinking about her past life and … Continue reading Chapter 77: Who Made Me a Princess – WHAT?! Let’s Discuss the World Tree and Lucas
So… chapter 70 hit me like a brick wall. Anyone else? But it gave me a really interesting idea/theory as to what Lucas is talking about for Athanasia. What if Athanasia’s past lives or story is similar to Elise’s in Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp? As in, what if Athanasia lived her life as Athanasia before and then came to another world (“our” world) … Continue reading THEORY: Athanasia’s Past Lives (Chapter 70)
If you’re reading this, you might have already read some of my many other posts on Who Made Me A Princess, particularly the post I made on Claude and Athanasia’s father-daughter dynamic. In this analysis, I want to discuss how their relationship is shifting in the opening chapters of Season 2. Last time, I said that I thought Claude’s personality was appearing in Athanasia, “This aside, … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited
I’ve been rereading the webcomic in preparation for new chapters coming soon (I hope) and I have begun to wonder about how Claude view’s Athanasia in relation to her bloodline. Let me explain: Athanasia’s grandfather was “a tyrant obsessed with riches” while Claude is more attuned to leisure and pleasure than his predecessor. Athanasia, as we know, is obsessed with gold (for her run-away fund), … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia
So, I know that in the “Lovely Princess” novel that Athy read in her past life, Princess Athanasia was the elder sister (actually cousin) of Jannette, but the timeline for the current story doesn’t seem to match. Going by how the manhwa has framed the two princesses’ origins, Penelope left the mansion pregnant before Claude met/started-a-relationship with Diana, right? And based on how close the … Continue reading Could Jannette be older than Athanasia?
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think it might be good to recognize that the story itself and the novel Athanasia read in her past life are different. Yeah, they have a lot of similarities, but a common thing in these reborn stories is the character’s reliance on everything being by the book, even when they influence major factors or new information that wasn’t … Continue reading THEORY: Grooming for the Throne
I love this manhwa for many reasons, but in particular, I want to talk about the beauty of framing Athanasia’s character because I think framing is something that is done really well in this manhwa and is often underappreciated by readers. A brief summary to the set up of the story: The story’s protagonist is Princess Athanasia De Alger Obelia, seen left on the image above. … Continue reading Gold, Art, and Storytelling
