a rant about DIOEFV (SPOILERS)

EDIT 11/17/2020: FOR THOSE OF YOU READING, THIS SPOILS THE SIDESTORIES OF DIOEFV, SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION

so this post will probably trigger a lot of people, i’m not saying that i hate these characters and all but i just wanted to let this out of my chest for a while. these are full of my personal opinions but if i miss some important facts here please let be know i’ll gladly appreciate it. i would like to say more but for now i’ll leave it at that.

Trigger Warning: mentions of abuse and toxic behavior

For a very long time, i was and still really pissed with golden boy (Callisto btw, the ML). Yes, i personally think that he’s one of the better options and i have a good time seeing him interact with Penelope. To be honest he lightens up the mood after their first meeting. And although i find it a bit cringey at times, it’s a nice contrast to DIOEFV’s supposedly dark plot. Basically, thumbs up for those fun interactions.

But what i’m going to talk about is his his behavior, specifically towards Penelope in the first half the side stories. To be honest with you, i had such a terrible time dealing with him and let me tell you whyyyy.

Actually it’s more or less like complaining to literally no one so to the few people reading this, um have fun getting offended with my opinions.

Okay so starting off this little rant, we have the beginning of the Side Stories. Now in the beginning, their interactions were fine, they were. Yeah Golden Boy was overprotective of Penny and all like but nothing there. HOWEVER as the side story progresses Callisto gets more possessive I- the reason i’m talking about this now is because I had I trusted him as a male lead. Ever since seeing the Hunting Competition Arc I was looking forward to Callisto and his relationship with Penelope and this is what he shows us after they're in a relationship?! And I mean like an official one they're like at this point in the story they were getting engaged and soon married and blah blah blah you get what I mean. I'm just recalling this from memory and what I've read and heard from the side stories but to give you an example of how possessive he was, this madman f****** isolates Penelope after she defeated a f****** cult. If that sounds familiar to you, that’s literally what Derrick and Iklies wanted to do to Penelope if they got their way (aka ended up with her). Okay, this man was a hypocrite, next!

Next we have their interaction after Penelope managed to escape the palace. She went to the Eckart dukedom (i forgot why i haven’t read the side stories in a long time), reunites with the people there and then we get to Derd**k. Man that was one hell of a reunion cuz the guy had the audacity to tell her not to marry Callisto (who even though i’m ranting abt now is just- dude why are you still trying to control her like that?!) and begs to her like a worthless piece of shit. That is where Callisto comes in, Derrick exits out of the room AND THEN we finally got Penelope confronting him about his behavior towards her. Honestly i wished Penelope did more than belittling the shit out of him and pulling his hair, but overall that scene was pretty satisfying because WE GOT THIS MF HYPOCRITE WHO FINALLY ADMITTED TO DOING HER WRONG.

But in all honesty? Is that all he got?? Just her threatening to leave him if he did that to her again??? Cuz if i were her i would’ve challenged him into a duel, kick his balls both metaphorically and literally, and move into another country where i can be a rich single lady not worrying about her love life (if you don’t know in the novel Penny got reaaaalllly rich). Okay i’m getting too indulgent there but anyways back to the rant. Obviously this type of behavior is UNACCEPTABLE in many ways. It can become emotionally abusive just confining your partner into a place they don’t want to be in. And no, i’m not saying Callisto doesn’t love Penelope, it’s just that being in love is NOT a justification to do that to your partner whatsoever.

Okay maybe I should not put the blame all on him. Personally, I also think this is my fault. I mean there were red flags everywhere. Callisto literally just got back from a war so he's not really in the best shape or form to interact with people. Secondly, this guy is obviously a madman. He's not afraid to torture people, and unless Penelope’s telling him not to kill people in front of her, I'm pretty sure this guy would not hesitate to commit a whole ass genocide. We see that with what he did to Delman, the country where Iklies came from, maybe it's implied that it's from the emperor's orders but he still did it. And let's not forget that first meeting, the first meeting that set things off in their relationship and the one we are most familiar with. Yeah just because he was not in the mood for talking to people does not excuse his actions towards a noble lady (he almost slit her throat despite not having the intention to kill her).

In the end, despite becoming better and actually giving Penelope the space she needs (finally), those actions are still very impactful in many ways, and can cause much harm towards your relationships with people even if you truly love and care about them. Honestly a good example of this can be Allendis from The Abandoned Empress. He loves Aristia very much but the way he does so becomes very twisted, so far as to getting jealous when she gets new friends and wanting to isolate her. I would stay here and talk about how Callisto and Penelope’s relationship developed after that whole debacle, not every relationship is perfect in any way but i think if i’m motivated enough i’ll try to make a separate post about it someday.

For those of you who want to know where to read the side stories, i hate to say this but almost all of the translations have since been deleted due to the hunt. I still don’t know if most of them are still up but there might still be some translations remaining on it’s Novel Updates forum.

Have a nice day or night or whatever timezone you’re in now and here’s another low quality meme i made for this post:

ideas i wished i had the time&motivation to make into fanfics part 1

Death Is the Only Ending For the Villain + Who Made Me A Princess crossover (other manhwas are featured too)

Attheia de Alger Obelia sets on her life both as the future empress of Obelia and a grand sorcerer just like her father. As expected however, she is met with many challenges along her path, and one of them is none other than Prince Alastor of the Ioka Empire. How will the two face off? And what will happen once their paths intertwine?

MAJOR WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Luminous Raven hair and blue jeweled eyes. A soft face rid from the hassle of blemishes. And a smile that is as blinding as the sun itself.

It wasn’t likely for Attheia to find any problems that might’ve stung her hard like a million bees. Sure, being crown princess meant that she’ll have to study and deal with ruling the empire one day — plus those lessons were already very hectic as she already memorized almost every single thing about history and politics — but she enjoyed being the heir to the throne. On top of that, she is easily one of the most charming people in the nation, which made her the top of social circles.

Not to mention being the daughter of one of the greatest sorcerers of all time. Who could accomplish a feat like that? Truly, Attheia de Alger Obelia is the ideal heir to the Obelian empire.

So out of all the people in the world, why did he had to be the one to get on her nerves so much?

Attheia simmered at the thought of dealing with Prince Alastor Regulus again. The Ioka Empire’s prince surely knew how to shift the tides when it came to diplomacy. And he certainly knew how to play his card whenever he wants to get under people’s skin. In fact, his skills had been compared to several accomplished young royals all over the continent, which included Attheia herself.

How i wish i can wipe off that smirk off of your face, golden boy, Attheia inwardly exclaimed. No, i will wipe off that smirk of yours once this ball starts.

—————————————

This year, Obelia hosted an annual ball commemorating the 10th anniversary of the birth of the Europa Continental Alliance. As such, many leaders and influential nobles from all over the continent had gathered in Obelia to celebrate.

Attheia sat over in the corner with a group of girls that have came to Obelia.

“It is a bummer really,” Lippe Franz, daughter of Emperor Asterope and Empress Aria sighed while putting down her tea cup. “That pest, though influential and skillful in his own right, seems uptight if you ask me.”

"Hah, it looks like Ioka’s golden prince doesn’t seem to be well-mannered in a way.” The brunette girl Aria Wynknight continued the blonde princess as she clicks her tongue.

A black haired boy who stood out from the group of girls shyly nudged his older sister, “Um A-Aria, don’t you think gossiping about the prince could get us in trouble? You and i are nobles after all.”

“Don’t worry Reno. It’s not like the things Attheia said isn’t true, i for one had witnessed how much of a sly fox he is.”

“I second that,” Elina, the 2nd princess of the Castina Empire, responded to Aria’s rather bitter remark. “Though i do appreciate Reno’s concerns here. It’s only been eight years since the emperor and empress died, so he may still be struggling with their sudden departure.”

It was common knowledge between royals and nobles how much affect the sudden assassination of Emperor Callisto and Empress Penelope had. And to make it worse, the heir to the throne, Crown Princess Judith, had only turned ten years old that time, and the prince was much younger than her. Attheia took note of this, because as soon as they died, young Princess Judith along with Alastor and many other nobles had made sure that their empire was stable enough to carry on. Of course this wasn’t an excuse for his cunning behavior, because to matter what he does, Alastor Regulus still gets under her skin.

Lippe once again puts down her teacup and lowered her voice, “Just talking about the royal family of Ioka gives a somber feeling in me. Ever since the emperor and empress tragically passed away, there have been so much pressure put on Crown princess and Prince. I’m thoroughly surprised someone like him is still living.”

As Lippe finished her last sentence, a servant appeared to remind them that it was time for the dance to begin.

“Well, let’s see if he can survive a night like this then.” Attheia smirked.

—————————————

And so the dance between the young royals and nobles had begun. Children hailing from powerful families across the continent dawned the ballroom floor with their graceful waltz. How beautiful was it to see their children dance together, rulers and nobles alike were at awe at the scene.

After a while, the whole room was spread out as they continued their dance. To Attheia, it felt like ages since she was dancing, her feet were slowly getting a little tired as time goes by. But there was no sight of that golden bastard anywhere. She started to feel bored the more she dances, it would be splendid if they don’t have to encounter each other but now she feels as if she wants to give the prince a taste of his own medicine. It was then she realized that the waltz had began it’s climax, and she had to let go of her partner. As always, Attheia gracefully dances into the hands of her final partner and—

And there she saw it — with the glimpse of her eyes she is met with gleaming golden hair accompanied with the serine turquoise eyes of the late empress. It was a relief they had barely touched each other’s hands since in her mind, Attheia finally had a shot at making him pay.

“My, if it isn’t Obelia’s lovely princess. It is my honor to dance with you tonight, your highness.” Alastor bowed as he kissed the back of her hand. Attheia swore she heard her friends snickering behind her, but to her it was time to deal with the conniving prince that is right in front of her.

“A pleasure to you too, Prince Alastor.” This time she made sure to put on her best smile in front of him.

In response, Alastor just chuckled, “Honestly, you do know why you’re doing this are you?”

“To be exact, i’m very disgusted that i have to dance with the likes of you.”

To Attheia’s dismay, Alastor had already pulled her closer to him and started dancing as the others did. With her face visibly soured, Alastor smirked quite sweetly this time. As the music reached it’s climax, so did the waltz, and Attheia could barely keep up with Alastor’s movements.

Cheeky bastard, she thought. Just what in the world would get you even slightly humiliated?

As the two danced, Attheia was able to catch a glimpse of her parents. Mainly, it was the disgruntled face of her father looking at her as she danced with Prince Alastor, the thought alone making him feel annoyed already. Attheia took this as an opportunity to show her beloved father what she can do to the golden prince, so she quietly gestured him to look at her way (as if he wasn’t already).

Watch, daddy.

Stomp!

For a brief moment, even if it were just that, Attheia could see the evident shock and disbelief on Alastor’s face. She pinched herself in order to keep herself from smiling too much, and instead showed a pitiful expression on her face.

“Oh! My apologies, i think i maybe getting too clumsy your highness!” Attheia made sure that everyone else can see the rare sight of a shocked Prince Alastor, maybe even her friends are enjoying the small scene unfolding before their eyes. She glanced back at her father. His once annoyed expression had turned into a proud smirk. For the first time tonight, Attheia felt as if she won another victory.

Or so she thought.

Right as she was about to take her foot off of Alastor’s, the grip of his hand became stronger and just like that, Attheia was on air, holding onto his shoulders as she quietly became embarrassed.

On the other hand, Emperor Lucas, who was once brought to delight at his daughter’s bold action, became twice as annoyed as he was before. Just seeing the sight of his precious daughter being in the hands of someone else made him wanted to murder his ass—

“Honey, are you thinking of Attheia again?” His murderous thoughts were interrupted by the voice of his wife, Athanasia, as she moved to hold his hand.

“...No, i’m perfectly fine.”

—————————————

As the waltz came to an end, Attheia was visibly fuming. Had she been too careless to observe his movements? The moment Alastor had put her down on her feet, she pushed him aside and stormed out of the ballroom.

Stupid me, stupid motherfucking...! She cursed herself inwardly. Attheia prided herself to not cry over such a small thing, and tonight had just been ridiculous. She had got to the point where she was all alone in a dark corridor leading to a balcony. All alone, she reorganized her thoughts and tried to calm herself down.

“You know, i honestly never expected you to pull such a trick.” A voice behind her spoke.

She looked back with a clearly annoyed expression.

“Well, i guess that’s another victory for you, goldilocks.” Attheia mockingly responded.

Alastor, who was leaning against the balcony door, walked up to her while uncrossing his arms.

“You... really have the charm of your father do you?” Attheia asked in a low voice.

He paused for a moment, thinking back to what he did while they were dancing in the ballroom.

“You weren’t the first one to say that, but i’m sorta getting used to getting those compliments.”

Attheia held a chuckle from coming out of her mouth, “So, is there any reason as to why you even bothered to come here? I don’t really think you’d be someone who’d come and apologize after all that...”

“Actually, you’re friends approached me saying i needed to apologize for supposedly making you feel embarrassed. That Aria Wynknight girl surely is one hell of a gremlin.” Alastor responded while softening his voice.

“You really don’t need to if you didn’t want to.”

“Well, i’m here now.”

Attheia felt a weird sensation conversing with Alastor, considering how much she normally despised dealing with him.

Oh what are these weird thoughts again?! She cringed knowing that she thinks these things when she feels bashful.

“Oh, are you, by any chance, feeling any well? Your face is a little red.”

“E-Enough already! I’m perfectly fine it’s just—“

“You.”

The two looked back in shock and saw the emperor of Obelia towering over them. It was clear that whatever Alastor did might’ve angered him.

Scratch that, it made him furious.

“You seem to have a lot of guts to pull that off back there.”

“I’ll take that as a greetings, Your Majesty.” Responded Alastor.

“Tch, just when i thought you couldn’t be more insufferable.”

“Da— Papa, i’m fine. Prince Alastor was just here to apologize.” Attheia cuts in, not wanting another massacre of another beautiful view of the gardens.

Lucas, who was ready to tear the prince to pieces, was suddenly distracted by his daughter tugging on his sleeve.

Please, daddy? Those were all her jeweled eyes said. Of course, they weren’t for the prince, she despised him. But for his beloved daughter, he decided to calm down, albeit not willingly.

“Ah, i guess it’s time for me to go now,” Alastor said. “It was pleasant talking with you, Your Highness. Maybe next time we’ll have more conversations like these.”

Prince Alastor soon had left the palace, and Attheia, though stressed about what happened tonight, was able to sleep peacefully in bed.

—————————————

edit: for those of you keen enough to notice, this was also inspired loosely off of A Stepmother’s Märchen!

You know i never thought it would be this bad but for the sake of boredom and indulgence, here’s a one-shot.

I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers. And no matter how boring and overrated the trope is, something about makes it feel like it has so much potential for spicy fics and stories and i am all in.

This was longer than i expected really. I think the more i read this the more in think this fits well as a one-shot than a whole ass fanfic cuz... idk actually.

Anyways, i love these two stories (despite how much i also shit on them individually) so i thought of making a crossover? Basically, Alastor is an OC, he’s Penelope and Callisto’s son and Judith’s younger brother, and it’s canon that Lucas and Athanasia will have a daughter, commonly named Attheia by the fandom.

As for Alastor and Attheia’s relationship, I have mixed feelings. One side of me wants a slow burn friendship, something I really think is fun to explore. The other part of me screams “ENEMIES TO LOVERS” and it’s so typical but indulging at the same time.

(p.s please don’t kill me for killing Penny and Call, i had a whole other plot for this story but decided to leave it out so...)
