LISTEN UP TAMLIN STANS

At the end of the day we all are just Eris Vanserra simps ;) .... If u don't mind me asking .... how many kids do u see Eris x Arina having ??

I have thought about this question so much because I have a spin off of Call It What You Want To that I mostly just write when nothing else feels fun or I'm stuck based on Ivy being heir to the Day Court and her issues with one of Tamlin's progeny (plus chaotic Nyx harassing Kallias' daughter).

And I think it would be one. Eris and Arina have one child. I think Eris, like all fae, want children but Eris is a man who is trying to do better than his father. So I imagine him as having his first (girl) and suddenly realizing the implications of more. Sons in Autumn tend to cannibalize not just each other but their father. I think Eris would want peace and a healthy family life and the risk of siblings would be a lot for him.

I also think that Eris is not big on being a dad the way like, Lucien or Cassian would be. I very much imagine Eris as like, not doing the baby talk thing. He talks to his baby like an adult because it's "good" for them, and they're getting policy lessons at 2 years old from daddy. He's active and busy and he's got his daughter and that's good for him.

Lastly, Eris watched his mother have six other children. I can only imagine the trauma of what LOA went through, seen through the eyes of a little boy. I would argue that Eris still carries that trauma and would not want his own wife to go through it, even if he would never hurt her, i think he'd have a lot of messy feelings about seeing her pregnant. Like he's excited and also terrified and he's having nightmares about his own mom and once he had his daughter, Eris would be like, we don't have to do that again.

But outwardly Eris would declare his daughter as proof he will live and reign forever, while Lucien boos from the back of the room.
