But we probably won't see much of them, so it didn't make sense to do anything too novel with them.<br /><br />At this point, I have no plans for any of my characters to be publicly outed, but that's not to say it couldn't happen at some point.Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-84051753032447097052015-02-04T17:28:48.693-08:002015-02-04T17:28:48.693-08:00Heh, you know, many such arrangements exist in Nar...Heh, you know, many such arrangements exist in Naroni. (In all likelihood, many such arrangements still exist in the real world today. :S) It would be interesting to see what would happen with a betrothed or nearly betrothed couple where one of the two posits the notion that, "I'm gay and I'll look the other way at your infidelity if you do the same for me," followed by the other person freaking out. What would be the backlash toward a noble who is outed as gay by someone else? Would the law care? And what about all of the other closeted gay people in Naroni? Would they twiddle their thumbs while this other person became a social pariah? Would they speak up for or against that person (in order to shield themselves from scrutiny)? I think I'd be interested in seeing this on Octavius's watch. I know what Severin would do. I think I even know what Ietrin would do. But what would Octavius do?Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-51731650182967620802014-10-09T18:19:57.199-07:002014-10-09T18:19:57.199-07:00Not bad at all!

I could see them becoming sort of like Sparron and Camaline in their earlier years, only not as angsty. They both could have easily been in much more restrictive arrangements.Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-72274372831775911532014-10-09T00:05:45.599-07:002014-10-09T00:05:45.599-07:00I like these two!

And once they're married, they'll always have each others back. It will probably be one of the more healthier relationships/marriages.Ekhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298048746460690752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-82874595779304553762014-10-08T20:58:07.388-07:002014-10-08T20:58:07.388-07:00I have no idea how relevant this marriage will end...I have no idea how relevant this marriage will end up being to the story, but I wanted some more non-angsty posts for this year.Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.com
