rambling here so i do not forget
warring nations have feeble peace treaty cinched with marriage except sabo's sister the bride-to-be to the crown prince dies on their journey to the kingdom, leaving sabo as the only accessible heir and therefore the eventual replacement
meanwhile ace's father's health takes a turn for the worse and he ends up being crowned king just before the arrival of his arranged spouse. he's juggling a million and one tasks he had not quite been prepared to be in charge of at this point in his life and to top it off, the person sent to marry him ends up being a man.
sabo is also in over his head because he'd been traveling as escort really but now he's forced to take the place of his late sister and stay permanently, and also the crown prince she'd been supposed to marry is now the acting king so it's all a giant mess.
arrives at the palace and leaves the carriage when his sister's arrival is announced, then has to explain to the waiting party that no he's not the same person but he can explain and no it isn't a trick or going back on the treaty, so since his traveling party has an audience with the crown why don't they all just go over so he'll only have to explain this once?
ace isn't happy but he's too stressed to see this fall through so he allows sabo to stay. makes a remark about everything for the wedding being thrown out the window so they postpone it for now. lets sabo stay in his chambers for the night bc only a certain amount of rooms had been prepped in advance and obviously none had been for his fiancee.
tentative never met to suddenly married and living in close quarters (shared room etc) relationship.

why does the fandom mischarecterize ayaka, keqing, nilou and now layla so badly?
they're all completely twisted into these crazy yandere girls who fight with each other for aether's love when they've been nothing but sweet to us. these jokes made by aether harem mfs are not funny at all. aether is not a playboy, he's just looking for his sister. i'm not attacking anyone who ships them but this kind of mischarecterization is just... not great. they make girls' entire personality about being aether's yandere lovers and fighting with each other when they're more than that. some of them also hate on ppl who like harmless queer ships. i'm just a lil weirded out with that side of the fandom because these girls are just few of the sweetest chars in the game, i love them sm :((
this is just my personal opinion. if you don't like it, just scroll away please!!

what if i loved you so much and then one day i lost you. what if i stretched my body out into multitudes and created a purgatory and other lost souls became trapped there. what if my grief became a thing of grotesque horror. what if i spent the rest of eternity looking for you, waiting for you upon a beach, hoping that i might feel your flesh against mine just once more, that your mouth might slide against my tongue. what if a piece of us lived inside the other; your ribcage my own, your teeth in my mouth so i can live with the taste of you and we were both girls

- Secret of the Hattifatteners, Tales From Moominvalley.
I really really really need you all to know how much of a wife guy Moominpappa is actually, like even if they're not super outwardly affectionate in the books, Moominmamma trusts Moominpappa very deeply and Moominpappa's definition of "home" always links back to Moominmamma. He is the waves and she is the shore.
(excerpts of Moominpappa thinking about Moominmamma and only Moominmamma whenever he gets reminded of home v)
He went back to the boat, shaking
his paws like a cat. Some of the spiders had crawled on to him, and he
thought it very unpleasant.
They soon found the painter also and started to crawl along it in a
thin red procession, and from there further along the gunwale.
Moominpappa seated himself as far astern as possible.
This is something one dreams, he thought. And then one awakens
with a jerk to tell Moominmamma: ‘You can’t imagine how horrible,
dearest, such a lot of spiders, you never…’
And she awakens too and replies: ‘Oh, poor Pappa – that was a
dream, there aren’t any spiders here…’
(...)
It was a small scroll of birch-bark,
of the sort the sea likes to curl up and throw ashore. Nothing else. You
can unroll them like documents: inside they’re white and silk-smooth,
and as soon as they’re released they curl shut again. Exactly like a
small fist clasped about a secret. Moominmamma used to keep one
around the handle of her tea-kettle.
(...)
Moominpappa had laid himself on his back and was staring up at
the pale green leaves around him. Light, delicate leaves against a dark
sky. In his easy-chair at home he had a cushion embroidered with fern
leaves by Moominmamma. Pale green leaves against black felt. It was
very beautiful.

listen I enjoy Temenos as much as the next guy but there are Seven Other Main Characters to choose from (and some who also have some Gay momence…)
To avoid loss of biodiversity in the Octopath 2 ecosystem, there needs to be a Temenos Tax. For every one (1) creative work centered on Temenos, there must be two (2) creative works focused on Any Other character (no, Crick doesn’t count for this purpose. I lov him but he is a risk factor). Works focused on women are worth twice as much
