Katarina was too far away to prevent Maria's tragic backstory from taking its full course, but it matters not in the long term. There's no emotional issue strong enough to survive being smothered under an unfathomably dense pile of dirt.

Righto thoughts on the latest episode: OK so while Catarina was very clearly thinking of the Bad Ends her Fortune Lover version got it's also far more likely that what all those girls heard it as "Mess with Maria and I will use my vast power as one of the top noble families in this country to ruin your life." Which is hilarious how she sometimes slips into Bad Guy Mode. Lmao at Catarina's dense heteronormativity. Like, yes, they know what kind of "like" you're talking about. I can't beleive Maria's mother just approved of her daughter marrying Catarina.

tbf she's dense in regards to...everything, really I mean she's still metagaming far beyond the point that it's ceased to be necessary.

I'm not even sure it's heteronormativity, so much as her not realising she can have a romance too. It would be entirely in-character to have the same reaction to the guys.

Definitely this. She just flat out is thinking the guys are not actually into her because that is how the game went. Just extremely dense in that she doesn't really get that people don't view her exactly as the villainess from Fortune Lover.

What I like is that this denseness is all apparently Katarina's, not her past life's (or at least, not totally her past life's); the spinoff manga implies that even as her evil self, she was this dumb. It's just that Good!Katarina is less self-centered than her old self was.

That's the thing with villainess characters. They're never particularly bright, just rich and assholish. Katarina just showed up late when they were handing out assholishness.

It's just that Good!Katarina is less self-centered than her old self was. I dunno, past life her was an otaku, which kinda implies a lack of social awareness if not outright denseness. I dunno about in the manga (and please don't post this), but so far she hasn't made any of past life her being romantically into anyone who wasn't made of pixels. But yep, her one weird trick to hacking the game is just to be a decent human to the people around her. So one interesting thing that came up in this episode is that magic apparently has a strong hereditary component to it. That means that nobles don't just have to produce more heirs, they also have to produce more magic users. The series has been pretty gay so far. It'll be interesting to see how it handles the difficulties of being gay in a world where the characters are all expected to breed.

i mean a noble marrying someone for political reasons and then having a secret lover on the side isnt exactly uncommon.

The one bad end Katarina can't avoid, Motherina's Wrath.

Katarina's spent most of her life terrified that if she screws up always keeping her friends happy with her, they'll all turn on her and abandon/try to kill her, and she's incapable of seeing that they all sincerely love her and wouldn't do that to her.

I know elemental magic systems are kinda generic as is, but it sort of tickles me just how easily Fortune Lover's world would fit into Familiar of Zero's. Just swap Light for Void, the early renaissance magical aristocracy theme is otherwise right there. I think Motherina and Karin would be friends.

Oddly enough. It actually fits the magic system from Babylon 5's space wizards really well, aside from needing technology and alien creature implants.

Something interesting to me is that Katarina never went "Oh shoot! I stole [X]'s thunder by visiting Maria instead!" It kind of implied that none of the love interests in Fortune Lover went on that trip and saw what Maria's home life was like, or got her mom's blessing. I also liked how Keith was the one who got affected by those girls trying to gossip about whether Maria was actually some noble's illegitimate child. His reaction made a lot of sense, considering his backstory and all.

Just realized Shouta Aoi is singing the ED. The song being called BAD END makes it better considering what happens to him in Gal & Dino.

On the one hand, it could have happened on Keith's route - he was there, after all. On the other hand she only went there at all because she was visiting the nearby farms, which is a distinctly Katarina thing to do.

Katarina didn't seem to be at all familiar with Maria's home life or circumstances so I'd guess that never comes up when playing Fortune Lover. In the game the days off are probably used to go on dates with the romantic interests, but since our beloved dunderhead unwittingly stole all of the romance flags Maria ends up heading home instead.

Poor, long suffering Keith. Can't do anything to stop his idiot sister from owning herself.

She's the fiancee of a prince and daughter of a duke; legit someone you don't want to piss off. At least, if she wasn't so nice and also dense.

I'm sad that the secret weapon project "Realistic Snake" appears to be a manga-only DLC. Seems like that has the best chance of changing Katarina's future.

I mean Keith was adopted explicitly to give the Claes family an heir after Catarina was engaged to Geordo and thus would be moving up to the Royal family. Which would mean not blood related heirs are probably not a problem. So unless stated otherwise I'm going to assume gay nobles adopt and Catarina has just completely missed that.

If nothing else, the book Catarina was keen on in the third episode was a romance story between a noblewoman and a commoner girl. And it only got called out as trashy for being a romance novel.

That assumes she would ever make that realization which you know what I don't think is possible.

I think cuffs was talking about how the nobles are supposed to breed more magic users; maybe I'm worse at Biology than I thought, but I was under the impression that gay couples couldn't have children EDIT: Biologically speaking, I mean.

The true Fire Emblem Bakarina crossover would be about a war caused by every army warring over Catarina's hand in marriage, while you play on Catarina's side trying to decipher just what caused all this fighting in the first place.

If the OP is any indication, even her previous life was like this: Move along, nothing to see here. Just two friends having a nice platonic walk on the beach.
