Everyone in this palace is a moron today, apparently. Yes... the Lady has gone missing! Sound the alarm! Raise a search party! Oh but definitely don't interrupt the staff in the immediate area, there's NO WAY anyone could possibly have disguised themselves to enter this supposedly secure area! Obviously the villains will be wearing black cloaks and twirling their evil mustaches right out in the open, because that's how bad guys work.
@kittten My god, someone actively suggesting we all live in comfortable echo chambers. Someone take a picture so we can remember it existed, people like this don't survive very long once they realize reality doesn't care about their delicate feelings.
Yes, if you have nothing nice to say just don't speak! Don't question little piggies, just accept and consume! Criticism?! That sounds like mean words, and my Faberge ego simply cannot handle those in any quantity! If I hear anything that isn't unequivocal praise I'm liable to break down into a pathetic sobbing wreck!
"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" belongs in the same place as "don't like don't read", i.e. in a dumpster fire along with the people that coined the phrases and anyone who uses them unironically. This is fiction: not everyone will like the things you like, and it will NEVER be your place to tell them not to criticize. Bugger off. Especially when the person criticizing is absolutely correct! This arc has been a shitshow; everyone who isn't Beatrice is walking around with an Idiot Ball grafted to their frontal lobe.
