So, purely out of curiosity, I'd like to conduct a poll -

How far removed does something have to be from your own species for you to consider it

well

unorthodox

to have any sort of romantic aspirations with them?

I ask this mostly because I'm betrothed to a damned dragon in my own world (no, not a humanoid with draconic qualities, an actual, literal dragon) and apparently both of those are considered just a tad too extreme by most people's standards?

But then no reasonable human on my world would really consider another human at all strange for wanting to bed a goblin, or an elf, orc, dwarf, or what have you, so it appears the line has been drawn somewhere.

Not bothering with anonymity, because why in the Nine Hells not, but you're welcome to if you wish.

A taboo of other species does not seem to readily exist upon Hallownest, much like your own world.
Our Father was the Wyrm, our Mother was the Root.
The Wyrm mingled with a Weaver to bring our sister into the world.
The Great Knight Ze'mer loved a Mantis.
There are likely many more examples.
It would seem strange to find a people from a world with varied sapient species who would consider it unmanageable, based on that knowledge.
But then, perhaps a world where there is no varied sapient species would find it far more unlikely.
It is hard to know.
Interpersonal relationships are confusing, conflicting things.

A bit hard to follow, but still promising to hear.

I apologize for not knowing what most of those even are.

That is all right. I confess I do not know what a dragon is, let alone a damned one.
We are from alternate worlds.
