Welp, back to refreshing every couple of minutes, because I just have to find out what happens next.

Isabella being just as entranced with Shade's writing is rather meta because of this.
 
Before my granddaughter party begin
granddaughter's party begins
And you are the only son of your mother, are you not?"

"Unless my mother had a twin and hid him somewhere secret, I do not think so," I replied very calmly, moving my hand to the pitcher for another glass
secret, I believe so,"
were her- she would be in tears right right now

Still, after the polite clapping from all of the nobles assembled, myself included, wind down, the ball began.
wound down, the ball
Isabelle is quite cute. Wonder if she'll retain her current behavior as she gets older?

There are already signs that this cuteness is eroding away, possibly at an alarming rate. For example, her referencing of all those nobles as "inferiors" , or the clear, very un-childlike contempt she is developing for her father. There are hints of canon-Isabelle subtly surfacing this chapter, and given Shade's reputation...

I dare say the key indice to watch here, is how Isabelle treats Charlotte at this point of time.

'Myself' is a good stylistic choice, both for emphasis and to break up the '... me well me and ...'
Um, no it isn't. I think it's a shit stylistic choice because it probably won't be inferred as grand standing ("I painted this picture myself" is quite clear that emphasis is added), but rather the author not knowing. Heck, there was even that list thing, which would reinforce that theory.

And honestly, how many people would even remember that kind of thing? IIRC, I was told in fourth year of elementary school to place myself last in a list. How many people in this thread would remember all those details or even what reflexive pronouns are? Vague memories at best.

Still, it's a stylistic choice up to Shade. I may not think it a good one, but it's his.

... But the protagonist is high nobility, so... I guess it does make sense?

I don't make much sense at 4 AM.
but now it was simply a big beast good only for parades, and the occasional flight.

You probably decided to place a comma before "and" because of the Oxford comma. Thing is, you use the Oxford comma in a list of three or more items. You had two here, so there's no reason to add it.
Karin might, and this is a big IF, execute one of her children if they turned traitor so hard it would make Judas clap his hands in approval.
But wouldn't Judas approve of it only if they hanged themselves? :p

The AT field makes a striking reappearance!
If I had less self-control, I'd be pinching her cheeks going wubbly-cutely-yes you cute little girl! but I had self-control the size of a Death Star, so there was no way I'd do that.
I've figured it all out--you're actually a Karen expy.

Except you're not shipped off to another franchise, but rather another country.

... Karen proxy it is, then.
 
Chapter Forty-Six

Perhaps, as the next book, I could go with something tied to the bonds between a father and a daughter? Uhm...

If I changed the transformed character in the story of Brave I might have a chance at it.

On the other hand...

The Little Mermaid was safer.
May I suggest Finding Nemo? Nemo doesn't think much of his (can be a her in this case) father until he literally takes on the entire ocean to find him (her). The Little Mermaid is more focused on the love story then the Father/Daughter relationship.
 
Do you have any Idea how long I compared the original post with yours for evidence of snarky, asshole behavior and yet found nothing different between the two? Fifteen minutes! Now do you expect me to think that you actually fixed a typo? See I'm not that gullible. You clearly did this to trick people into spending inordinate amounts of time trying to figure out what you changed and as you laugh all the while.

Well I, for one, am onto you tricks Mr. Older than time. I didn't survive this long without learning a thing or two.

:p

She actually seems to like Henry.
Of course if cute Isabella becomes tyrant Isabella she'll be petty and vindictive.
Bad news for people who aren't named Henry :p
I would be pretty surprised if Isabella had a paradigm shift in regards to her father merely because she spoke to Henry a few times. Yeah, he's obviously had influence on her, but a large change requires a life changing experience, e.g., saving her life and imparting some words od wisdom. Furthermore, it's her father. Shade talked to her a total of 3 times on screen, IIRC. Her entire life's developed PoV on the issue won't change without significant interactions with Henry or Joseph (Joestar) cleaning up his act.

Questionable dog collars and brutal suicide missions are when you need to run a small intervention?

Who could have thought a handful of conversations wouldn't dramatically change somebody's life?

HecateGW said:
Isabella looks more like a Drag Queen than an actual woman, just from the face and make up. :p
Something that HecateGW said on SpaceBattles might be darn important.
Isabella eventually growing into ugliest lady in the series might contribute to her instability?
Learn to embrace a lack of appearance! Ugly isn't so bad!

Ten year olds are fairly impressionable, but aren't years longer on Halk than Earth? IIRC, Louise was 16 at the start of canon, but would be 18 or 19 if she had lived the same amount of time on Earth. That would mean, by Earth standards, Isabella is closer to 12 years old. Still young, but more developed in terms of how she thinks and behaves. Henry may still be able to mitigate her tendencies towards cruelty, but I think its to late to be entirely suppressed.

So what you are saying is that she'll become very Yandere for Shade?
