anonymous said : dan heng, since the vidyadhara are self reproducing, does that mean marriage and dating don’t exist for your culture?
⸻ ❝ the vidyadhara are not self — reproducing. they undergo the cycle of self — reincarnation. it begins with embryonic development in the ancient sea and once the egg is nurtured , it proceeds to hatch. the young vidyadhara are then guided into adulthood under the elders , where they acquire knowledge gradually , and discover their specialisation to depart to their respective places. in their maturity they become elders themselves and teach the young , who then realise their trade as their elders once did. after seven centuries , they return to the same sea , lose their memories , molt and revert to embryos once more to await their hatching rebirth. the cycle then restarts. ❞
❝ this hatching rebirth does not affect romantic inclination — marriage and dating are not exclusive for procreation. vidyadhara are capable of experiencing emotions such as love. any creature with a consciousness is. on the luofu , i have come across a great deal of individuals who express their affliction. but it is true that aversion for romance exists , which largely stems from the removal of memories in later years. however , love has proven to be quite powerful and challenges even fate itself. ❞
