#het marriage

this is why i don’t believe the majority of women who say they didn’t see the red flags before they got married/had kids. you did see the signs. you saw them, chose not to take them seriously, and got married/had kids anyway because you thought you could “teach” him to make him behave better. the fact that he got pissy because he had to wrap his own mother’s gift IS a red flag and this woman shouldn’t be engaged to him anymore. call me alarmist lmao but I don’t care. this is the tip of the iceberg and once they get married it’s just going to get worse.

Megumi’s face in this panel fucking kills me, that’s the face of a gay man who did not ask to be the romantic pursuit of the straightest woman in the entire manga, this was basically the exact opposite of the “oh so it’s like that” scene with his “no not in that way”

some of y’all really don’t understand that friendship is the basis of real romance and it fucking shows.

on the topic of arranged marriages in the post-canon, my dumbest and most inescapable headcanon is that falin and kabru get lavander married

partially out of my love of lavander marriages and the historical tradition of queer men arranging marriages between their lovers and their sisters

and partially because every time i see a labru baby fanart i think "the rumor mill believes that falin and kabru had an affair and the king legitimized his sister's bastard as his heir" and the comedy of errors that would result from trying to cover up kabru's pregnancy/fake falin's is hilarious to me

Why women are happier single.

i'm 60% into busman's honeymoon (enjoying it immensely) and it's so refreshing to read about a couple who adore each other and have endless chemistry, who follow each other's thoughts because they're both witty and intelligent... a couple who you read about and think, yeah, i get why they're together and why they're in love!

i'm allergic to m/f usually both because i prefer gay shit and because so many authors put zero effort into writing the romance in their novels (this is especially true in speculative fiction, from my experience). but when i read a romance like this it's really like wow. maybe i'm not as heterophobic as i thought maybe i just want a good fucking romance!! an amazing discovery

also, for the love of god, we need more married couples in fiction. i love slow burns and will-they-won't-theys as much as anyone else but. give me more husbands and wives. AND also exes

Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but lifelong possession of, or ownership.
