DIANA’S INTENTIONS

~The beauty within~

Alright I just got the most weird,dumbass theory about Diana’s reason to birth Athy. I was having this discussion with @athys-obelia regarding Diana’s character and her relationship with claude, HOW CLAUDE VIEWED HER etc.

And that brought me to a conclusion, that maybe, Diana understood Claude’s self-loathing, how he attached contemptuous feelings about his ‘self’. She saw how much she loved so many things(maybe everything) about this man and he due to his sick environment and poor upbringing had a poor self-esteem about himself. We too get to see that in most of the panels. Maybe he hated LP Athy just because of that-because she reminded him of his true self, the one around which he had built a huge stone wall, the one he had come to loathe because he had suffered,due to his hypersensitive,emotional and vulnerable self who craved love, even from those who abused him.

And Diana may have understood how he saw her-as some entity from 'outside’( as pointed out by @athys-obelia) a breath of fresh air, something that wasn’t associated with the usual toxicity of Obelian royalty and nobility i.e. anything that he’s interacted with or has grown up with so far. She’s this external, “fantastical”(because the real, unadulterated happiness and love she gave him was sadly a fantasy for him,always), ethereal entity with whom he associates only the positive, the beautiful, the good incidents and emotions. To put it in a more cheesy way she was springtime in his land of eternal winter.

Diana may have understood this and since she truly loved him, she wanted to break this notion of his. She found him beautiful and that’s why she fell for him. She wanted him to see that too. She wanted him to fall in love with those same things that made her fall for him so bad. And that in my opinion is where Athy comes in. Maybe Spoon is deliberately making us,through Claude and other characters, feel that Athy is a part of Diana left behind to give them all the springtime that Diana brought to them. But maybe, just maybe(hopefully) she’ll pull a twist showing something opposite.

Remember Diana’s ghost smiling at Claude(I’m pretty sure that was not a hallucination) and giving him the “I’ll wait for you to understand”. Maybe her intention regarding Athy all along was to not leave a part of herself behind,to not create a constant of herself for Claude, no, but rather to show Claude the beauty that was inside of him. To show Claude that the happiness,love and care that he searches for everywhere else-in her, in jennette, may have been within him all the time. This is taking into consideration that Athy is a carbon copy of Claude, Athy isn’t like Diana at all, she’s made from the same mould as Claude or to put it more precisely, made from the mould of Claude. Maybe Diana had intended a happy environment,good life and upbringing for Athy just to show Claude that there was never any ugliness about or within his own 'self’- which is why his own self in a proper environment could be beautiful, kind, loving- all the qualities he worships so bad.

In short she wanted Claude to see the beauty in himself. He worshipped her beauty, but he was capable of being just as much beautiful, if not more. And LP Athy was an embodiment of just that, even WMMAP Athy(though people tend to associate her more with Diana). Sadly Claude didn’t let that dream aka LP Athy become a success(and just look at the consequences-of relying on others for happiness). Maybe that’s what Diana’s ghost is desperately hoping for this time- for him to realize this, to understand this, through the comparatively healthy upbringing of WMMAP Athy. Maybe that’s why Diana’s ghost came to visit him when his Amnesia was going to bring that to ruination too.

REMEMBER CERSEI’S WORDS FROM GAME OF THRONES, SEASON 6:-

“she was good…..from her first breath she was so sweet…..I don’t know where she came from……I thought if I could make something so good, so pure…maybe I’m not a monster……”

Same applies for Claude.

Alright this is just my interpretation of the Webtoon. Please don’t bash me for this. Not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Actually we have yet to talk about the concept of Anastacius trapping Claude in an arranged marriage with Felix. Would solve 99% of his problems honestly.

#breaking news tyrant anastacius becomes a gay ally by unexpectedly legalizing gay marriage #teen Anastacius: *uses homophobic slurs* #adult Anastacius when he realized that gay marriage means Claude won't have any children that could contest his claim to the throne #Anastacius: I love gay people 🥰 #honestly it's such a win for him #Claude won't be a threat anymore and the Imperial family gets more power through the political connections to house Robane #claufelix #wmmap #who made me a princess #sbapod #suddenly became a princess one day

another last question: can the nanny of a prince be a noblewoman?

Not a nanny but a governess, who is above nannies and nurses and runs the household.

[sharper-than-a-serpents-tooth]

does the nanny of a prince have to have any experience of child raising? their own or noble children? what is the status of a nanny?

Usually, yes. They would have been employed elsewhere and recommended to the Royal family

Man, seeing your post (rightfully) criticizing the wmmap novel and Lee Jihye is bringing me back into my wmmap fixation. I'm the one who created the A Perfect Summer Storm AU— I had deleted the manhwa sideblog in a depressive episode bc I started feeling like I wasn't reaching anyone with it... I do rue the loss of my writing, though. That AU's ship game was a clusterfuck.

Claude/Felix, Diana/Felix, one-sided Claude/Diana, Felix/Anastacius probably it's been a while (Felix does finally snap and joins Ana's resistance faction after a while), Athykiel, Jen/OC, Lucas ending up raised by Jen and her husband and his love interest ends up being Athykiel's child, uhhhh who else is left, OH Diana and her... not-quite lover, almost sisterly figure, it's Complicated™, a fellow dancer in the same troupe as she was, who followed her into the Ruby Palace out of love.

I also ended up creating an entire family for Jen's love interest and... yeah that was the point where I started feeling down.

omg hi hi hello! *waves excitedly* 💕 I know your other blog too and missed you very much. 🥺 I was just redrawing the Athy panel you used to have as an icon as practice and had to think about you. Must be telepathy. A Perfect Summer Storm was probably the AU of all time that we have conceived ever. APSS, especially the Claufelidia love triangle in APSS has become part of my base AU that I often refer to in my headcanons. The ship game was truly crazy like A Midsummer Night's Dream, everyone was in love with everyone and no one. They were tormented by forbidden feelings for the person they could never have while being bound to the one that was ruining their life until one of them managed to break the cycle.

And Aiyla, Aiyla, Aiyla *sights* ...Aiyla is the character that I imprinted on immediately (Anis was my second fave ^^ I wish to learn more about Sindria and the royal foster system one day). I needed a mean lesbian that talks shit about Claude and gets away with it while also being hopelessly in love with Diana so deeply it temporary steals away her ability to think rationally and alert her to danger. (What if it's just her jealousy talking? What if she's seeing red flags where there are none, because she secretly wants to break up their relationship and keep Diana to herself? What if Diana will think that Aiyla does it because she misses being the dominant one and wants to bring their master/servant role back and starts hating her? What if she was right? For the first time in her life Aiyla is scared to speak up her mind. She finds the thought of Diana hating her unbearable. If Diana loves him, he can't be that bad, can he?). Aiyla is the Claude to Diana's Felix but she makes a noble sacrifice and in doing so she wins the battle against her own selfishness, yet she ends up alone anyway. I ask myself what her fatal flaw was.

What does she look like? Do you have a color palette for her? (I picture her with long straight black hair that goes to her waist, darker skin than Diana's, maybe smaller than Diana and wearing dresses the colours of the sun. orange and warm yellow. In my head she doesn't wear much extravagant jewelry. She prefers to wear many small pieces of chains, piercings and rings on her body over one tiara with a giant diamond in the middle and that's why Diana is often confused as the princess of Siodonna when they are outside the palace. She's modest wheras Diana is flashy, bright and loves big sparkly gem stones. Diana tends to wear a little bit too much decorations but on her it doesn't look too much.) I kinda wanna draw her now.

I'm up for a wmmap renaissance anytime if you're up for it. ☀️

Villainess Diana and Penelope AU where Diana never never got over their homoerotic girlbestfriend situationship and the sting of betrayal she felt when she returned to Obelia and found out her childhood sweetheart had an affair with the crown prince while she was gone. So she does the most sensible thing any woman would have done in her situation: she has an affair with the crown prince's brother and starts a civil war with the goal to topple Penelope from her position as Empress

#Diana and Penelope being so closeted they start a by proxy war using the Obelia brothers like dolls to carry out their petty rivalry #Penelope: I can't have you that's why I will fuck the genderbend version of you and hope his riches will fill the emptiness inside me #Diana: I can't have you that's why I'm going to take everything you want #and betrothen our children who I'm projecting our younger past selves onto to each other to at least end up with you post mortem #wmmap #who made me a princess #sbapod #suddenly became a princess one day #diana of siodonna #penelope judith #dialope #concepts

perhaps not friends but boys who are working out together and kill time together. I can imagine that the Duke told Felix these kids were all from important families and he needs to get along with them or else

Headcanon that when he was a child Felix used to be friends with some of the knight apprentices that were bullying Claude and this is why Claude feels comfortable using Felix as his emotional punching bag and Felix accepts being treated that way as if he deserves it

#because they are gonna be around each other 24/07 and they can make his life heaven or hell depending on if they like him or not #Felix starts despising their brutishness and when he changes sides he takes some of the connections he made with him #by causing others to follow him #felix robane #headcanons #wmmap

#I just can't imagine Claude treating Felix that badly if Felix had been by his side from the start #it's as if there was an underlying resentment #“I love you but I can't forgive you for what you did for what you let others do to me” #“you just stood by as they hurt me why is it suddely so hard for you to turn your head away when I do the same?” #young Felix being a passive bystander to the bullying of Claude would fall in line with his passivity towards cruelty in tp/wmmap #his biggest flaw is that he is lawful even when the person making the laws and commanding his hand is the worst man alive #I hc that Felix' mother sacrificed herself to protect Claude from an assassination attempt #and Felix never forgave himself for not being strong enough to protect #thus devoting himself entirely to Claude as atonement #Felix is always obedient to the highest instances of power (the imperial family and his parents) #his mother gave her life for Claude making Claude the next highest instance of power in young Felix' life #claufelix #wmmap #felix robane #headcanons #who made me a princess #sbapod #suddenly became a princess one day

Felix is a nice person but not a good person because he keeps enabling Claude's flaws

#Felix would have let Claude horrifically torture a bunch of 15 year old girls to death #he knew these girls were innocent he was watching Athy the whole time #apologizing for neglecting his duty is akin to confirming Claude's conviction that the bullying and ostracization of Athy happened #Felix is such a spineless dormat #he prefers to burden a teenager with the task of deescalating the situation on her own birthday #rather than standing up to Claude #I bet this is also how lp Athy's rushed execution happened #Felix just stood by and did nothing #felix robane #felix robane critical #wmmap #who made me a princess #sbapod #suddenly became a princess one day #claude de alger obelia
