(guy who only thinks about his own incomprehensible bb/r doomed trigon marriage au) like. another meta reason the concept is so interesting to me is because ithink their relationship has never worked i don't think it's good and i think it's sanded down huge parts of them to more easily fit their "assigned roles" yk those black cat goth lady and golden retriever dumbass guy het couple tropes that just Aren't how they behave or are. they've become more palatable to a certain kind of audience at the cost of everything that made them who they are!! core traits core hopes core fears all cut out to make them the "perfect couple" and i think that's a Bad thing i think that's scary i think they would also find it scary so having a very physical manifestation of it, the role they're forced to play the act they gotta put on and how that's a detriment. you are husband and wife and harbinger and portal and you are all the worse things that happened to your parents and you're doing all the worst things they've done and they passed it to YOU!!!!!! AND YOU CAN'T EVEN get away from eachother i.e: DIVORCE. ☝️ you geg me.
