I can't find the OC meme to get numbers, but: you said once that Dullahan and Elena don't adhere to traditional gender roles in their relationship. Can we hear more about that?

I’m not familiar with romantic quirks or anything of that nature, and obviously I’m not speaking from a USian perspective, so take my vocabulary and stuff with a grain of salt and here you go!

Quite frankly, Elena’s the breadwinner for their tiny group. Dullahan was very reluctant to let her pick up odd jobs that ranged from bookkeeping to basic warehousing management in return for supplies, but eventually had to admit that she was being paid much better than he was doing pure labour work. He has since conceded to do babysitting and writing letters on behalf to supplement the caravan’s income.

Elena also makes most of the important decisions in the relationship. She would consult Dullahan if it was very important, but when she sees that her partner is being too indecisive or paranoid (which he had been ever since he hit the road), she quickly takes charge. This, of course, includes finances. 

This is, btw, hilarious because the kitchen hand that Dullahan decided to pick as his wife wasn’t like that when he was trying to court her :D:D *pelted with bricks*

Elena definitely has an upper hand when it comes to arguments and negotiations in the relationship, but it’s not hard-on aggressive-- diplomacy is actually more stronk with Elena than it is with prissy Dullahan. He just took pointers from her. He’s more of a book nerd that had his practical application of book knowledge stumped because of an unfortunate series of events. 

That’s basically the more notable differences from what I would perceive as a norm in traditional gender roles for those two, but feel free to ask further questions! It’s quite fun answering this, honestly, because usually I don’t bounce ideas of these two around in public like this.
