I assume you mean the JJ Cale song, but I'm not sure. Also, hooray I'm done! *3DS time* Now I find myself actually wondering which song they were referring to. Initially I figured it was the memeiest one by Rebecca Black, but now I'm curious. And no. Only if you haven't played the Smash demo. Otherwise, we want your SMEXy a** over in D&D. |

Implying that a fantasy race in a fantasy setting has the same sociocultural standards as modern America Implying that shotgun weddings weren't typical in the dark ages/ arranged marriages are bad - I don't think it would take mere days (IIRC only slightly more than a week) for marriage to seem like a good idea (putting aside the fact that Pearl didn't even know what marriage was until a short while ago) no matter what their cultural background ('pecially Arc who just took it in stride). Immediately planning to birth a baby after marriage knowing that it will probably expose you doing something illegal to a king without considering "let's wait for a better timing for it" isn't a result of different cultural backgrounds either, it's just plain lack of common sense. - It wasn't a Shotgun Wedding. They were at a thing unrelated to marriage until they decided to willingly do it for funsies. The rest proves the GCF has no excuse, so no arguments there. |

It was a month, and then you have to take into account the innate charm magic that comes from Nymphs, along with the fact that Pearl was going to try to do something to him regardless, so he decided to marry also because of that sort of thing.

Sorry for the slow day guys. I had a long meeting tonight, and I just got home. And now I'm utterly exhausted. Of course.
I'll update all my shiza tomorrow, I promise.

That... doesn't help at all. ...Nor does it explain the having babies thing. I think this is my first anti-ship since AstridXMakalov in FE9-10. |

It was a little over a month (I've seen faster), and time doesn't create compatibility. Besides, Pearl's gonna be Pearl, which means she's going to be impulsive. What does shotgun wedding denote again? I just assumed it was the American term for fast weddings. And who said they're staying together for that time? Also, arranged marriages happen where sometimes the couple literally doesn't even know each other before being expected to do that so some cultures do have that. |

I believe that someone like Pearl just has a different thought process. - Being forced into marriage, mostly on account of accidentally impregnating someone and being held at shotgun-point by a violent father. - Still doesn't make it any less stupid. - I know about arranged marriages and in terms of fiction I don't really have a lot of problems with it. This case in particular has nothing to do with arranged marriages though, so the point is moot. |

But my point with the arranged marriage is that it can happen quickly and still develope into something great. Just because they're married doesn't mean that's as far as they're relationship is going to go. And it does make sense if Titus never actually sees her again. |

It's still a case of "too much too quickly" which makes the relationship seem forced and shallow instead of something that actually exists. And it still doesn't make sense if Titus never sees her again because their current circumstances are very bad for raising a child, and yet they're still going to go through with it regardless. Also, ibak from being out. |

But that is the concept of arranged marriage, which is a real thing. And look at it this way, Pearl comes from a place that emphasizes personal freedom, chaos and sweetness, while Arcturus comes from a place that markets marriage as deep and true love, but ultimately treats it as a business. So It would come natural for Arcturus to want to marry a girl he has strong feelings for and it would be natural for Pearl to say yes. It's not that farfetched.
And they won't seem that bad once you see what I have planned.

While we're on the subject, someone please motivate me to post in Austur. the extra background will be good for Irving in the crossover. |

Hey. If we're shipping GX and Golurk...
When are we going to get around to drawing fanart and writing lemons?
If you're wondering why I changed font colors... It's because I was slowly letting the colors get hotter. And lemons are yellow.

The only lemons I write are JoshuaXYancy ones and there's no way I'm making them available to the public.
They exist, but you have to look for them.
