Random: My OC Marian's family drama may or may not be partially inspired by some family drama ongoing in my own family, where several years back one of my cousins- who was essentially bequeathed the family land at birth- married a woman whose family seemed and seems less interested in her happiness with a good man and more in how much acreage she's gonna be part-owner of once my great-aunt dies.

And so, as writers tend to do, the concept of someone born into a union where one side of the family's approval leans heavily on what they can get out of it is taken and run with.

#that aunt is very much land rich money poor #family used to be farmers before my dad's generation got shoved out so- lots of space #to my cousin's credit he is rebuilding the farm and i wish him all the best #just wish his getting that chance hadn't involved breaking promises to and shoving aside everyone else #so now land that's been in the family for over a century is getting loomed over by his in-laws #while his own older brother can't get an acre to raise his own family on because it might cut into his inheritance
