That kid's got a good head on his shoulders. He's right that a goddess of fertility should be more bountiful of harvest. :|j

 

[SoloSera]

When it comes to this boobs vs modesty thing, I don't really agree with either. Different cultures have different ideas about what a goddess of fertility should be like. Especially pre/post-agriculture. Wasn't there some sculpture from some culture that was rather heavy(not sure what the best word for it is)?
Still, mc in this is interesting.

@SoloSera You're misinterpreting it. Voluptuous doesn't mean big boobs... it means well-figured, that is all.
If anything, voluptuous is more correlated with being THICC

 

[SoloSera]

Seems I misread it. I didn't even remember the word used being "voluptuous". The usage of such a word being rather dependent on who uses it. I've heard it used to describe pretty much anyone that isn't strictly petite(often people calling themselves as such, so some stretching of the term is to be expected). "Well-figured" muddies the water further as the term will always be tethered to personal tastes. Thicc, I'm not super familiar with, as it seems a more sexual term and, for the most part, I'm not really interested in talking about other's opinions on the subject.

@SoloSera @AbuHajaar

Here come some ancient (35000 to 11000 BC) representations of what is supposed by archeologists to be fertility goddess (called also "venus statues") :

It's easy to see that some kind of "body type" is most often used as a basis (when the body is still there at least), so the brat is not totaly wrong here on a historical point (at least for half of it), but he certainly flagged himself as an ennemy of women with his remark ? .

 

[owlette]

wouldn't it be fine for her to not avoid the prince since she can control her own fate now? as in, her personality is completely different from Cordelia's and she might not even fall in love with the prince or the prince might actually fall in love with her in this setting

 

[VladDracul2]

@owlette But that would be smart thinking and we can't be having a manga with smart thinking.

 

[cryum]

@owlette otome/VN reincarnation mangas have this DESTINY GRAB YOU BY THE THROAT mentality, where everything and everyone will push things to follow the game plot. Some of them are even true.

Not that it isn't stupid, or anything.

 

[sakurabonx3]

@owlette I think she would like to avoid the worst case scenario and you never know what might happen when she does encounter the prince so might as well avoid the problem as a whole than risk it :/

this kid has priorities

 

[botodopo]

big hips for birthing babies, big boobs for feeding babies. pretty sure thats a fairly common idea across cultures. if anything the "modesty" would be more about people being too uptight to have a statue like that.

 

[Deathhappens]

No worries, Cordelia! According to my reference material, if a boy tells you you're acting like a guy, the correct response is to deck them in the nose. Doubly so if they ask if they can call you "Dilly". What the fuck kind of nickname is that!

 

[TUSF]

>What the fuck kind of nickname is that!
In Japanese, they tend to just truncate names whereever. I can never seem to make out a pattern, they just cut it wherever. So "Cordelia" -> Deli, because of course.

Kid's a man of culture as well
