since you told me not to fight it… any thoughts on tommen/marian and what their kids might be like? 👀
This is so long I'm so sorry 💀
Regarding Marian and Tommen themselves...
I thought more on how it would happen and we can agree that the regular timeline is too compressed to work, so I feel like this has to be a Marian and Tommen both live longer au ? Also ofc it can't be a romantic love match on both sides since I write my queen as aro but I still want them to be happy !! I really love to imagine how their temperaments would coexist since they seem to be so different.
I even had the idea of both of them being widowed... Marian's first husband (Aidan or someone else) dies without her having any children from him and Tommen has Tara with her mom and she passes too. Both of them remain unmarried for an x amount of time, can be little or can be years ?
Anyway I think they meet by chance, Marian likes to travel so maybe she goes to the Eyrie or he comes to King's Landing. They might first strike a conversation by talking about Moriah since Marian was lady in waiting to Elia too and probably knew her. I once said I think she'd flirt with him as a little game to entertain herself and wouldn't expect anything to come of it, but he might actually start reciprocating ? They'd spend more time in each other's company and slowly build up a friendship, and maybe Tommen starts developing feelings ? Or he can just see her as a friend, depending on what you prefer. The tourney thing can happen too because I loved that idea !
I think either he proposes because 1. He "dishonored" her (lol) or 2. He plainly just loves her or 3. After losing his first wife he's just looking for a nice companion to share his time with and Marian fits that criteria. Maybe even all of those at once. Maybe he has feelings but feels guilty for falling in love again after Moriah ?
Marian doesn't feel the need to remarry but Tywin wants her to because her celibacy is a waste and he wants to secure an alliance with another Great House (and I wish that girl would ever be able to tell him no... But 1. she knew it was coming eventually. 2. she enjoys Tommen's company and friendship a lot so she's fine with it.) Ofc Robin is the next Lord technically but I wouldn't put it past Tywin to get rid of a boy to make sure his uncle gets the lordship instead.
Now for their kids. You know me so don't ask me to find names but I'll go with interesting concepts.
In your last Arryn post you said they're pretty religious and sometimes for the worst, so I think it'd be funny if they birthed one little religious fanatic. Especially since Marian's faith is like, more for show than anything.
Overall I think they'd have three or four... Marian isn't one to be particularly cautious when married, whatever comes but I think after a few they'd decide to calm down because it's not worth taking the risk of her dying in the childbed anymore.
It'd be cute if they had a girl that acts just like Arwen did I think ? Maybe she can even be their eldest so Marian can have a girl as her first just like her mother had.
Then either two boys and one last girl or just two other boys ? I'm sorry in my mind Marian always has many sons, just like Oberyn always has daughters...
We need at least one kid that's just as wild as mama I think, someone to cause chaos in there. Maybe one that has both their worst or best traits lmao. Maybe that's the religious fanatic 🌝
But I'm only throwing ideas out there, anything can change ofc !! In any case this was very fun to think about, I really love these two and I'm curious about what ideas you could have too 🙂↕️🙂↕️
