So if Selena was in this I think UV would have had a heart attack from pure happiness with how many boxes this ticked off. Anyways though, I liked it, I kind of wish it explored Caeldori looking up to an insecure Soleil more then the name dropping, but that would have probably started to get to bog-standard at that rate.
I was in love with this support the moment I heard Soleil call Caeldori Caeldy and I became even more in love when Caeldori said she like-likes girls, excellent job writing this one!
Are the naive princess and arrogant troubadour Lissa and Maribelle? I wonder how Odin would react to that… Also, can’t wait for Laslow to find out Soleil accidentally wrote fanfiction about her grandmother
It's been bugging me for awhile, is there a headcanon for where these kids come from when the parents are same-sex? In most cases you could just say adoption but that doesn't work for shapeshifters like Kana and Velouria.
There are a number of possible explanations - adoption, surrogacy, one partner being trans - but I don't believe we need one more complex than magic. This is a world where magic can swap minds, stop the aging process, grow crops, conjure a variety of elements, create illusions, revive the dead, cause anyone who speaks a certain word to be stricken from reality, and alter the flow of time. It's magic.
Magic. I mean Kana can turn into a dragon larger then a horse, Leo says Brinhildr can control Gravity and life itself, teleporting is common place, and curses can cause things like bad luck or straight out erasing you. I'm sure there are at least 3 different ways for 2 people to have a child without ever having sex.
In a world containing humans who can cast attack magic which completely negates the physics of a surrounding area, flying horses which utterly defy the laws of physiology with their ability to carry not only themselves, but an armored human rider hundreds of feet into the air, dragon-human hybrids that give the middle finger to all established facts of genetics and reproduction, and human beings that will actually lower themselves to marrying Jakob, it thoroughly boggles my mind that THIS is the unlikely circumstance that people can't wrap their heads around. There are mages going around tearing holes in space willy-nilly to dimensions where time flows completely differently in this world, but it's the idea that genetic code from 2 different people could be combined through a process unfamiliar to our own world's usual (but not sole) method that you find hard to swallow?
A: That's not a logical fallacy in the slightest. Classical Fantasy tropes are every bit as divorced from reality as gay babymaking, and being a more common point of reference in Fantasy is irrelevant when the point is "Magic allows for versatile breaks from reality" B: No, they are _not_ all classical fantasy stuff, and nobody ever argues about things that aren't. Hell, we could viably say that gay babymaking is _more_ rooted in classic fantasy than many of those on the basis of the rich fantasy tradition of temporary sex-change spells. C: Trans People and Adoption still exists. D: If we're going to nitpick the magic excuse on wartime grounds rather than just ignore it, then we've got to deal with the implication that every single heterosexual couple in the game is a horny pair of fuckers who can't stop having unprotected penetrative sex enough times to conceive a kid even though they know it's the last thing they need. E: UV _REALLY_ hates devil's advocating on this issue, to the degree if you don't retract it right now there's a legitimate chance she'll reject your submitted supports. For your own sake, shut the hell up.
