“Together in unholy matrimony 🥀🥀🥀”

I wanted to incorporate more lore into this one by adding in the other members of the Gallagher family (The one in the middle is Elias’s grandmother )

And now that i finished 3 artworks all about Elias, should i make another one thats more Taylor-centric?

I got back into writing a bunch today, so have this snippet, obv spoiler for chapter 9.

They reach to their machete, wood creaking under distress as they easily pull it out. Their eyes scan your boat and crew, "Well, well, well..." Their voice is deep and rough.

*page_break "What a nice catch I found."

I just know someone's gonna find them hot. I can't even blame anyone who does. Think about your safety first. Machete person is not safe to be around!

Determined to look for more clues about the presence of Dark Justiciars in this region before pressing on, she stumbles upon a an old woman and her hostage, a young widow with child.

The Hag turns out to be a formidable opponent who forces the companions to descend into madness and fear. They would surely have remained her brainwashed slaves if it were not for a bargain struck earlier with a group of hungry trolls.

The encounter was the embodiment of the old warning - "be careful what you wish for".

This quest wouldn't be out of place in The Witcher.

Seriously, do not attempt it without some real fire power.

We bought and watched Across the Spider-Verse. It's really good. It's very much part of a romantic arc for Gwen and Miles, which makes me very happy. I find Hobie annoying, possibly intentionally, but he's a good character, though he's not in the movie much and is pretty one-dimensional. I look forward to finding out what the deal is with Miguel. I share a certain suspicion with Miles.

I've seen people argue about this movie, but it was actually the version in their heads with a bunch of stuff that just isn't on the screen, and ignoring a bunch of stuff that is on the screen. Tumblr, eh? But never have I seen anyone mention that it doesn't have an ending. It's part two of a three (?) part story, and while part one stood alone, this does not. So, watch it, but be prepared to go "argh when are they coming out with the next part?!" when done.

Okay so i was wondering how each RO would react if they found a engagement ring MC was hiding.

Bt then i realized wait. MC is already married. Sooo is divorce a thing? Or are we just having open marriages here?

An engagement ring would be very cute for mikhail if MC was like i want to marry you again because i love you this time. And I'd love to know his reaction but what about the others.. and if we're already married how does tht work? 🧐🤔

Now, I'm feeling in a nice mood, so I'm actually gonna answer all the questions. Keep in mind that these answers would be more of the last chapters / epilogue kind of situation (depending how the relationships go), this is spoiler ish territory. So after general information, the individual reactions and personal needs of the RO will go under the cut.

Divorce isn't a thing, but all of the RO are aware that the marriage you're in is purely political (in non Mikhail routes that is), and that there are no strings attached. Mikhail has no qualms about it either, he is not gonna enforce that you can only be with him, which is kind of the situation in riag marriages being monogamous. Oh yeah, every kingdom has different marriage / bonding rules and rituals.

As we know, Riags marriage is more closely representing a gift, with a necklace to symbolize the bond. Strictly monogamous.

Meanwhile in Malam tradition, their engagement/wedding rings are antlers, decorated with flowers and plants, which each of the spouses take care of, the longer the plants survive and thrive, the better the marriage between them will be. The antlers are collected when they're being shed in their respective seasons, monogamy being more popular than polyamory. (TK specific)

In Abuyo it is a tradition to braid each other's hair together, as well as weaving baskets. Most of their traditions formed around the enjoyment of nature and spices, with a very close and tight knitted, loving community, polyamory being very common too. (Alia specific)

Meanwhile I am trying to not pin the Ita wedding rituals, as you as a ruler can simply change them. But I decided to not specify the monogamy/polyamory likelihood, as well as leaving options for gift giving getting tied to different ideas of marriage in general. Which might get added to the epilogue for the Itan population (Kate, Sammy, Sascha, Gigi)

Now we get to the specific reactions/opinions/needs of the RO and marriage.

So under the cut we go.

TK would want to marry you. Like really badly. Like they're jealous and bitter towards Mikhail BCS of it (even in the poly route). If you put the actual work into learning malam traditions and customs, and offer them the antlers? Jesus, they'll be a MESS. Like sobbing, quietly tho. Being unable to do anything but just nod, maybe kiss and hug. But yes, they so badly would wanna marry you, even without it being official, just knowing you care that much about them, just the best way to make em soft.

Sammy doesn't mind that you're married to Mikhail, and while they'd def prefer you to be married to them, they don't take it that badly. They don't care that much about all the marriage traditions, since they grew up in a part of Ita where marriage isn't prioritized. HOWEVER, they will absolutely take you to their family for a big feast, and call you their love all the time.

Alia would be shocked at first, but then quietly remind you that she is not allowed to marry. She keeps her hair short as a symbol that she cannot get "entangled" with anyone, as her life has been dedicated to the worship of the Gods and the Beyond. If you would ask her to weave a basket with her tho, she'd smile and admit, that it would be a nice activity, and she cannot imagine doing it with anyone else.

Sascha would be mortified. Even at the end of the story, you CANNOT tie this man down. It might even be enough to scare him away. Like he is back on the run. Just don't.

Kate would be so excited. She's secretly already planning your wedding with her (even just as a symbol and not legally binding). She wants a big festival, with food, gifts, and expensive clothing. She is also inviting everyone. Everyone needs to experience the love she holds for you, and love you too. Yes, J and K will visit. Yes everyone she met will be there. Yes even strangers. And you will be covered in gifts and kisses.

Mikhail would be a bit against it. For him marriage is a promise of submission and protection, and he cannot imagine commanding you. Once you tell and explain it's to renew the shared love, he is so down. Very down. On his knees actually.

Gigi is so very sad. She would have to decline politely, not because she doesn't want to. But BCS it is not fair to claim you. She would gently let you down. And while it wouldn't destroy the relationship unlike with Sascha, it would put a strain on it.

The first and only time Lestat ever tells someone not to scream because of him (probably right after clawing his outraged way out of the abandoned hot topic that I can only assume was built over his snoozing spot)

Kudos to @stlelios and @pimini whose posts appeared on my for you page and launched these images directly into my mind’s eye
