I've continued to be distracted before my vacation, not only due to my favorite character of all time getting an extremely powerful new version in FEH, but also the release of Fontaine in Genshin Impact!!
I loved Sumeru but I've been waiting for Fontaine since the game launched specifically because I was so sure it would be an absolute clown show AND I WAS RIGHT. the Hydro nation is so ridiculous 😂

do you have a webtoon? And if so, do you know or read about "the princess's jewels"? if not, that's fine. But I would like a better scenario or maybe "worse" (yandere type) for the characters since they have potential but the story is not doing very well. As I already said, if you don't know him, there's no problem 😉
So after this, I speed-read as much of the series as I could. For anyone who’s not aware, the webtoon Princess’ Jewels written by JYUN and illustrated by Hong Cha, is about beautiful princess Arianna and her collection of men that help her fight for her claim as empress. Her ‘jewels’ consist of Nell, Efrit, Haun Beik, Raymond, and Jade. Now I might catch some heat for this and as someone who doesn’t read webcomics very often, my opinion might not be as developed as others but here goes.
I actually really like it. I’ve read that the trope of that maincharacter that just kind of has everything work for them was really bothering people, which I get. But I’m also a big fan of these types of stories as they are fun to cheer on and to watch evil characters or enemies be utterly defeated. She does collect these men like pokemon but in a way that makes it all the more thrilling as she effectively uses them to reach her goals. Big guns don’t mean anything if you don’t know how to use them and that’s what makes Arianna so attractive to me. This leads me to my next point.
How many people thought her character was that of a Mary Sue and to some degree I can see that. But to me I love her motivations and true feelings about things more than I want to see benevolent hero-type mc. Her motivation is lust. Their motivations are lust. People around them either reflect this same thing or a lust for power. Everyone’s motivations all hold some similarity to one another and for that I think the lesser evil would be Arianna. She fawns over these boys in the same way readers do when they come on screen. It makes me like Arianna more as she works to hold herself together. Not to mention when it comes to words in nobility she can hold her own pretty well; she’s cool like that. And I like the ambiguity that comes with some of her decisions. Is it lust? Or her motivations to take down her father’s concubine? Is it her being genuinely nice? Or is this a tactical advantage?
I won’t bore you any longer with my defenses and opinions for the webtoon. I’ll just dive right into the yandere types and possibly talk about what I might do in the future:
Nell Phantom: This handsome boy is the wolf man of your dreams! He’s powerful, he's smart and he is really good at keeping the harem in line. But beneath his loyalty and regiment-oriented personality he gets possessive and he’s incredibly protective. He’s…one of my favorites~<3He’s the best behaved out of all of them. I wouldn’t change him at all for he’s the unsaid glue of the harem; he keeps even the rowdiest ones in line and I appreciate him for it. He has expressed a desire to…breed but he’s obedient and possibly the most useful in Arianna’s quest.
Prince Efrit: This guy is okay. I’m mad at him because of what he did to Haun…but anyway he’s hotheaded, possessive, jealous, hard-headed, and he’s especially violent. But he’s got big booba so it's okay. He’s got a whole troupe that helps him with intimidation and patrol work which is always nice but all those traits previously mentioned he’s quite the handful. While Nell is your obedient, goal-oriented german shepard this man is your darling affectionate pitbull that will pummel through everyone with that pent up energy. You have to keep him sated if you don’t want him to chip at the other jewels. He doesn’t have the foresight to realize how his actions really hurt Arianna more than anything and for that I would say he’s the most dangerous.
Haun Beik: My other favorite, this white beauty is so precious but I don’t think he’s fully…bloomed yet. Let me explain. Where he’s from there is a lot of his past that kept him there and even with Arianna it comes back to haunt him. The only really yandere thing he’s done is just kind of hold his own against the other gems (Efrit) and that was mostly unintentional. I think when it comes time he’s the perfect manipulator–able to coax things from his fans and garner Arianna’s divided attention by batting his eyes the right way. As he’s introduced we know he’s not weak and it’d be nice to see that come to play. He may not be able to use it on his definite assaulter (really hate that guy) but he can use it on Efrit at the very least, showing a darker more sinister side that has him fully intent on keeping the princess’s focus on him. There are so many ways his yandereness can go!
Raymond Amber “Lemon”: Mass manipulator and utter masochist. He gets off on the embarrassment and the chase of his relationship with Arianna. But like everyone else he has his own ambitions that he’s very skilled at achieving. He’s also violent as well but not like Efrit he has that foresight about maintaining reputations and the consequences of his actions. He’s perfect in social situations and in combat as long as she teases him some he’s not about to act out. He also seems to thrive in the community of the harem. While he definitely competes with them as well he sees their dynamics clearly and he knows what to say to play in that. He also has expressed quite the interest in Jade and granted some might say that he’s only doing that because Jade reacts the way he does but if you look hard enough perhaps Amber is also interested in Jade.
Jade Meldian: Now this guy was attained in the jewelry box by more forceful means and did not come as willingly as the others thus he blames Arianna and resents her for it. Now he blames her for some things that happen while at her side, all while pushing away at the occasional observation about her personality that he likes. The way he refuses her is either, in my theory, conducted by a curse or an unfortunate resolution to kill Arianna one day. He’s got potential as a secret yandere that in fact is willing to escape the jewelry box so that he may own Arianna. I know it's a stretch but I kind of like him and it’d be nice to have a yandere that doesn’t exactly love the idea of being another in her harem. Instead developing some twisted goal to make Arianna his own.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are so many others, I can delve into the others if you ask for it but that's about it. Now there’s a high chance I will write with a premise like this or within this story and what I’m thinking is that the reader is a noble friend, a bit of an oddball outcast that keeps their face hidden in a veil. Nonetheless, Arianna is deeply in love and has full intentions of having you when she becomes empress. So she’ll no doubt spill her desires to her harem who are all quite reluctant about you and each has their own concerns but still commence with the plan. Basically, you aren’t fully hers just yet but she’s able to reveal your face which is actually cursed to make people fall in love. Suddenly the harem and Arianna’s tune changes as it's all made clear about what they need to do–Make Arianna Empress and protect keep watch have (Y/n) of the house of (L/n).
But who knows~just a thought

I love that both games in this duology seem to deal with righting past wrongs, like the game even opens with Link and Zelda dealing with buried secrets under Hyrule Castle, like a festering wound that’s runs under the entire kingdom
