yall if yall shocked ab the hundreds of children and concubines..

Tbh as an atheist i also read the Bible as a fanfiction story (no hate and i actually mean it) it helps in understanding christian people too tbh

HELP

well i mean, as long as it helps u to read the scriptures daily i guess

I mean... the problem to me is the setting+all of that...
I get various wives and concubines and bastards being brought in... but in eastern settings... where polygamy was normal. Like china with his emperors and their harens.. but in a western fantasy with western royalty and nobility it gets kinda weird... because from what I know that ain't normal. Kings having mistress I get... but not with multiple wives and concubines like that... there wouldn't be so many offd queens in history otherwise... and illegitimate children? Most were offd as soon as discovered too... so.. mixing those 2 settings feels weird to me...
Even that one you mentioned is not something on a medieval onwards setting.
That's what gets me... but I do understand if they are not direct bloodline... maybe cousins and distant relatives of royal blood... and kids of royals that couldn't keep it in their pants... maybe this whole mess is why the sister got the throne the way she did... I understand it being a plot point on this comic... but it weirds me out how often authors put a polygamy setting on a western fantasy one... to me it feels like trowing ninjas in a cowboy setting...

It feels more like the king had a shit ton of siblings or something, so they multiplied a shit ton, so now that it is a problem they are being hunted down ig

Listen...
I would read ninja in a cowboy setting...
Seems honestly funny in a chaotic way

I mean... I do agree... like cowboys in snow or in space kinda things... it is funny... but I mean in a more discomforting way since the objective is not to be funny...
It's like... making a story about dragons in a European medieval fantasy setting but all the dragons are the oriental kind... or a Chinese martial arts story but all dragons carvings and embroidery are the western kind... it just... gives me jeebies...
