#betrothal
䷵ (54) and ䷒ (19) are both based on the Lake trigram (☱); the significant change here is only to the weather. Buying a new game would make you FEEL like something's changed, but IRL you've not moved an inch.

If you want to be distracted from things you should be doing instead, then buy that game!

Found out a "glitch" people were complaining about in Crusader Kings 3 was literally just the UI sucking really bad. If you arrange a betrothal and have a grand wedding as a required part of that arrangement, and then the ruler that arranged it dies, you don't get the usual marriage prompt

䷾ (63) implies you have no unmet desires, while ䷵ (54) suggests you'll most benefit long-term by relinquishing control to others.

So it seems the best answer will come from the people you're cooking for, & be prepared to only say "yes" across the board - whether you like the sound of it or not!

A Fruitless Betrothal

I think this one is just dead. Shame- i liked the setup, I liked the characters. I saw where it was heading. but alas. We live in a world.

“I says to myself I says”

And now…the consummation of their betrothal. Tender. Passionate. Erotic.

I’m kidding, it’s awkward as fuck.

And now they’re buying a car Adrian doesn’t want!

Lysithea trans girl who emphasizes wanting to be seen as a grown up so she isn’t trapped in the “just a kid” perspective on her and her choices 🤝 Felix trans man bucking expectations of his lineage bc he sees how painful it is. Rejects betrothal to Dimitri out of vitriol and spite.

becoming a traitor to my own people.
I gave up my home, my future, and my betrothal, all to protect the one person who always seemed destined for ruin. I thought I was prepared for the consequences, but I was wrong.

No, it's actually diminishing the value of a raped toddler compared to a raped baby. The minimal age also for betrothal involves sex with a toddler. You've been arguing against me for seeing this as *&% wrong. Others in threads have justified this too. "Oh these are edge cases out of context"

Because yeah, the minimal age of betrothal is bad, it’s also not done that way by anyone because it’s bad. The discussion of rape of a child was the rabbis attempt to minimize later consequences for a rape victim.

Is your objection the inheritance laws regarding an infant dying, the minimal age of betrothal or the discussion of rape as it pertains to a later marriage contract?

"What makes you think you get to hold me like that!?" She asked heatedly as she scrambled up and away from the redhead who was blinking in shock at her. "This betrothal business better not go to your head, you'll just be gone in a week!"

" A number of other African institutions that Westerners view as barbaric include arranged marriages, levirate, and child betrothal. These practices are misrepresented as misogynistic (...)"
Amazing feminism from this aristocrat here.

through with this betrothal.”

As he brought his forehead back down to hers, he closed his eyes for a second as the thought of kissing her was there. His mind was practically screaming at him to do it, but he wanted to be sure she would be okay with it. Feeling her out, Drax slowly began to lower

Dragonstone when they were children. Everything felt right in the world right now, despite things being what they were. Currently he was fighting with himself to try and push the betrothal to the back of his mind and if anything he was being optimistic that they would have time to figure out

#rhentag it's def the bracelet that used to be haurchefant's betrothal bracelet that he then combined with the wedding ring haurchefant gave to him :") he's always wearing it even if you can't see it. if it were to get stolen no force in the world could protect you from his wrath lol
#wolqotd

What is your WoL's most prized possession? Where is it located? Is it under like... A lot of security? Any traps? How bummed would they be if someone snuck in and stole it? What's the monetary value of the item in question? No reason for the question, just wondering :3

This is WAY back ticket content, but he always claimed he lived in an apartment with his black girlfriend in the Rant days. I hope he made her an honest woman with betrothal and nuptials (and cats). 🙏🏼

Princess Isabella is half Tasmanian too so I demand a say in her betrothal.
And the answer is a big fat GFY Barron. You’re not getting near our Salamanca Sweetheart!
