Ok but this is confirming Diane/Hardin as having ever been a canon thing and not just a crackship? I am here for this.
yep! started as a crackship in my notes, quickly and retroactively became ‘yeah they were a thing’ the more I got a handle on their mindsets - not publicized, mind you, but an affair behind closed doors and such due to their positions. partly because it makes a certain upcoming scene even more poetically horrifying/satisfying (more on the satisfying tbh), and partly because I like my morally fucked up squicky horny messes of ships.
So what I’m seeing is that Jehane could chirp Diane about having slept with her dead boyfriend, her current boyfriend and her mom. Jeeeesus.
hey, in defense of Jehane, Shard slept with her great-grandad, that’s hardly any better :’P
then again they could all commiserate about having the worst taste in men, bahah.
Yay morally questionable ships that make for ultra horrifying scenes! Hardin doesn’t seem long for this world so I’m curious to see how that goes down.
Also lol so Shard’s slept with pretty much everyone in that family.
Hopefully Shard gets a say in it… but I get the sneaking suspicion that his input was probably not especially sought after.
Though I suppose that does say a great deal about the Chanderan ruling family…
