I love making problematic male characters
#he started out problematic bc he's a templar and oh BOY does it keep getting worse#man's cheating on his wife with a mage he had a crush on 7 years ago#and he treats said mage like garbage now#the end of that story is already plotted and don't worry he effectively goes to therapy gets a divorce and becomes a simp later but LORD#the DRAMA in this romance#sometimes you let the order make your crush tranquil so they don't kill him and then later when he's cured of said tranquility he blames you#and then you both hate eachother for a long time and then you bang and then you convince yourself it was blood magic and hate your ex crush#even more than before but your crush still digs you anyway so it all snowballs into a personal crisis bc Mother Giselle was right you don't#actually believe it was blood magic or you would've killed him so now you just have to sit with that and pick apart this whole narrative#you've built over the years to keep yourself from feeling all the things you didn't want to#and it eventually culminates into divorcing your wife that fed your unhealthy coping mechanisms (ie spinning a narrative in which you did#nothing wrong) admitting you were in the wrong going through the process of rebuilding trust with your crush and building a relationship you#never let yourself have with him before bc as a templar you're not supposed to get close to your charges and you took that very seriously#back in the day but the divine abolished the circles so you don't have to do that anymore and you can relax and let your feelings *exist*#and you adopt a dog together and go on adventures and the first time you ever admit you love him is in front of your extremely pious father#which is a hell of a move bc your boyfriend is A) a mage B) a man and C) an elf#and then you sort-of adopt your niece together bc she started developing magic and your brother is an asshole#and then you drag your boyfriend out into the Vimmark mountains where you get the best view and propose to him but you're awkward#so you tell him to forget it and then later you try again somewhere else#and then you honeymoon in Antiva#and you make sure he gets to see all the things he wouldn't have gotten to locked up in a tower
