#SOULMATES AND TOGETHER IN EVERY LIFE

Eternal Bonds: Tim and Danny’s Infinite Realms Marriage

In the Infinite Realms, marriage is an unparalleled commitment. Unlike the mortal world, where love can be fleeting and easily undone, marriage in the Realms is something far more sacred. It’s not just about vows or ceremonies—it’s about merging souls, creating a bond that not even the vast stretches of time can sever. The very idea of marriage in the Realms is rare, almost mythical, because it requires two beings to love each other so profoundly that they’re willing to bind their very existence to one another.

For the ghosts and entities that reside in this realm, eternity isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a reality. Time is meaningless when you’re no longer alive, when your very essence is bound to the afterlife. And because of this, relationships are viewed through a different lens. There’s no such thing as divorce, no “time apart.” Once a couple is bound, their souls are intertwined forever. To dedicate your entire being—past, present, and future—to another means accepting that their joys, sorrows, triumphs, and failures will be yours too. It’s a partnership where breaking the bond is simply impossible.

It’s why marriage is such a rare occurrence in the Realms. The ghosts, who have already lived one life and often seen the frailty of mortal promises, don’t enter into this kind of bond lightly. It’s only for the strongest of loves, for the most steadfast of commitments. Because once you marry in the Infinite Realms, that bond holds through eternity itself.

And yet, despite the gravity of it all, Tim and Danny find themselves willing to make that very commitment. Tim, a mortal tied to a world where things end, where nothing lasts forever, steps into the unknown. His love for Danny is so deep, so unshakable, that he agrees to a traditional Infinite Realms marriage. He knows full well the weight of it—he’s not just vowing to love Danny in this life, but in every life after. In swearing to this bond, Tim is offering his entire being to Danny, for now and all of eternity.

For Danny, this choice means even more. As a halfa, he exists between two worlds, knowing both the mortality of the living and the permanence of the ghostly afterlife. His love for Tim is powerful enough that he’s willing to make this eternal commitment, knowing that there’s no one else in any world—mortal, ghostly, or beyond—he would rather be tied to. For Danny, the bond is as natural as breathing. It’s a connection that deepens their relationship in a way that transcends the limitations of their two worlds.

Their marriage isn’t just a declaration of love—it’s a merging of souls, a binding that makes them two parts of the same whole. It overwhelms them with the sense of safety and belonging that they’ve both craved in their lives. In each other, they find the kind of love that doesn’t just endure life’s difficulties but thrives beyond them. Their bond ties them together forever in a way that no one else could understand, but to Tim and Danny, it’s everything.

They are each other’s home. And in the Infinite Realms, there is no greater honor, no stronger connection, than to be bound by love for all of eternity.

ETERNAL LOVE (2017) "Even if you have to pay with your life for the bad things you have done, I will follow you in death. Here, in this world, no matter when, no matter where, as long as you do not betray me, I will never leave you."

animated nein I am begging you. please. Let us keep all the soft and playful widomauk moments--the adorable flirting and reassuring promises and tender longing. ("Come on, let's go get you some sunlight.") (Caleb. Softness and light.)

Caleb collapsing in front of his Circus Man's grave, falling to his knees to dig it up with his bare hands ("This can be a conversation, or it can be a reunion." "I'm going to hell anyway,") the desperate bargaining and pleading, ("Please don't give up. You can still find your own life again. There'll be time for that later--") the tender forehead kisses and soft epilogue crushes, ("Oh, you're cute Magic Man--" "Caleb enjoys that--")

i like to think that stan would have a lot of moles while richie had freckles all over his skin.

when they'd sleep over stan would fall asleep by counting freckles on richie's nose and cheeks under the dim light of his bedside lamb or richie's dinosaur shaped one, and richie would start his day by waking up early from stan and spend whole ass minutes trying to memorize every mole stan has because he liked to think that was the places he kissed in their previous lives

anyway i need to hang out with my brother again he is the one person who i am pretty sure knows literally everything about me so he's the only person i trust that i can absolutely not disappoint. nothing i can do could be worse than the sum of everything i've been doing to that poor man (and him to me) the past 19 years

thinking about a particular astarion Thought based on some posts that I’ve seen on twitter/reddit and i think (and im specifically talking abt his spawn route) I prefer the idea that when tav/durge/whoever his lover is passes, I like the idea that he learns how to move on from that loss and love despite them being gone. I don’t think he’ll kms once they died or give up loving completely. the conclusion of his arc is learning how to live again, moving on from the things that he’s survived from, not letting his past define himself and all that and I think learning how to grieve and mourn, and live on despite such a heavy loss is part of that journey. and I do think experiencing loss of a loved one is one of the things he had made/or will make peace with as a vampire/immortal since he’s accepted his own nature as well. also think it’s a contrast to the ascendant route where he keeps you by his side and promises you eternity. in that route he doesn’t have to worry about grieving or mourning since you’re bound to him forever as his spawn and also as an undead, but in the spawn route I think he’s well aware of you mortality and whatever time there’s left will be cherished and lived to its fullest.

and specifically for hag romance bc they’re on my mind 24/7 I don’t think shri’iia will want him to mourn her forever since she’s such a big advocate of taking control of your own fate and refusing to stay stagnant. knowing that he loves her and he had lived on once she’s gone is enough for her.

[wooahaes]

"He fell right next to Caleb, right?" "Yeah, fairly close by."

Thinking again about how Molly/Lucien and Caleb both died side by side in the ruins of Cognoza. How they're still together in the very end, because of course they are, because Caleb was never leaving Aeor without Mollymauk. Even if it killed him--

“He might not be there, but we should try...This can be a conversation, or it can be a reunion.” 

“We were quite fond of our friend.” 

“But...I know that we are supposed to go where Molly is, otherwise we wouldn’t have seen the things we’ve seen. We wouldn’t be the Mighty Nein.”

“For those of us interested in trying to redeem our old friend, we certainly don’t have a method to do so--at the moment. The thin hope would be, that [there’s] something about where we’re going...” 

"What did we come all this way for...if not for this? Why did we go so far, and fight so hard..."

"Get him out of there--"

Thinking about just...the hundreds of lingering souls finally released after a thousand years, countless gleaming lights rising up from the carcass of Cognoza, all these souls drifting off into the Astral Sea. Caleb begging the Nein to bring Molly home. Veth agreeing, "Of course, I think he's still in there." But Fjord countering with, "You don't think he's one of those golden motes of light that's being released?" Already gone?

If Molly and Caleb were never resurrected....would they have been together still, among all those shining souls illuminating endless night, binary stars bound together, forever in the infinite Astral Sea--

I’ve been improving a lot mentally lately and today my wife (best friend who I’ve lived with for 7 years) told me she’s divorcing me (moving to a city we both swore we’d never live in) and she’s taking the kids (our dog) and this is just further proof that god will never allow me to be happy or hopeful
