Manon and Dorian are kinda sorta pretentious af and they made sure their daughter has a name that has its own weight but also they made sure it’s beautiful.

Their daughter’s name and middle name translates to: beautiful gracious queen (her first name is welsh like her mama and Dorian was the one to pick her middle name and he made sure both names worked together both in sound and meaning)

The daughter accidentally learned of her name’s meaning and with her ego it wasn’t a good kind of knowledge.

Because when anyone referred to her as ‘princess’ she’d just roll her eyes (like her mom) and mutter “why call me a princess when I’m a queen”

Anyway baby ate her pride when she started school and was forced to learn how to write her name. Because her name (first) is long. With eight letters there were a lot of tears involved.

Manon negotiated (she actually lost the negotiations because her daughter is small and too pitiful she had to help) again pushover mama so anyway baby would write it only three times and Manon would write the rest.

Dorian was like ‘witchling, you can’t do that’ and he’d sit with his daughter instead because ‘you need to learn how to write your name’ but his daughter argues that his and Manon’s names are short and they don’t understand her plight

Dorian is like, it’s only two letters more than his name, and three letters more than Manon’s so it’s really not that bad.

He lays down on the floor next to the tantruming child. He helps by writing her name twice but she has to do the rest.

Honestly Manon is weak and gives in easily this is why Dorian took over homework because he can handle their child and her dramatics (which she takes after him that’s why he GETS her while Manon just gives in)

#booklr #books and reading #throne of glass #manon blackbeak #tog #dorian havilliard #manon x dorian #manorian #child is dramatic but she does have a long name #Dorian shocked her into silence when he wrote her WHOLE name and told her that see your first name isn’t too bad you could be writing THIS #instead and he’d add: it would probably take you a whole month to finish so be grateful it’s just that #but his daughter would argue that she rarely goes by her full name anyway it’s always shortened and her TEACHER even calls her by that name #but she’s a meanie who makes her write her full first name for a reason #but really Dorian decided that school work is going to be his thing #Manon has trauma from her own academic performance which is why she vowed to never put any kind of academic pressure on her child even if #it means doing half of her daughter’s homework because she won’t let her suffer like she did #Dorian was like nope I’m handling this you just put it out of your mind and he was the one handling school #not doing much just making sure his daughter does her homework he doesn’t care about grades as long as his daughter is putting in the work #if she struggles with a subject he maxes sure to explain it to her so that she doesn’t struggle but it’s mostly just a no pressure area #Dorian and Manon would never pressure their daughter to get straight A’s in all her classes she can get whatever grade she wants as long as #she’s happy. but after the first few years like starting fifth or sixth grade their daughter kinda sorta saw the light and took studying #seriously because she likes the sense of accomplishment and loves getting praised so she made it her thing #she loves it when her parents show up to these things so that was another incentive
