But, at the end of the day, the path PC chooses are all coralated with what writer wants. And Ryn, and the champion for that matter, likes the way she is as she is.
The writer is not some god we have to bow down to and accept the whims of because he oh so graciously blesses us with content. Fuck what the writer wants,
I want to do what
I want to do. Not what the writer does. If our wants align, that's great and I'll read and probably like their shit. If not, then that's fine and I just won't bother. But to take a lovey-dovey character and have them do this stupid and roundabout cucking way of having a kid with them, is fucking dumb. If vagina having PCs can have a kid with her the normal way, why can't dick wielding ones?
I want to have a kid with Etheryn. I don't want to watch Etheryn knock up the lady that has birthed multiple of my children and then say that kid is mine somehow. The solution is as obvious as the sun fucking exploding, yet apparently that's not going to happen. I'd say people have a right to shit on a decision this stupid.
I agree with the heir thing, but really, a girl with a dick being subby does not mean she is supposed to posses pussy to plow.
Don't give her pregnancy content, then. It's that simple.
And I believe that you could make a lot of arguments for as to why Brienne should gain a dick in similar vain to Ryan.
"She already had it once"… "She loves you" , "She sees you as her most important person so why wouldn't she be happy if it would make you happy."
Those arguments above have as much weight to them as the ones I have seen as those related to our subby elf. Since Ryn niche is that she is a small subby girl with a dick. Which is comparatively holds the same weight as "Brienne is a subby Amazon with hero complex".
I never made those arguments and don't agree with them. But you know what? Sure I'll bite.
Again, this isn't the same as Brienne's situation. Having a dick would directly go against the idea of her being a subby cow-girl that loves having your babies. You might argue that she could still do and be that, but it's a different niche entirely at that point and would turn off a decent amount of her fans. That and giving her a dick serves no purpose besides player/writer satisfaction. It doesn't really add to her character in any meaningful way.
Giving Ryn a vagina would, because that would lead to allowing HER to be pregnant with your child. Which is very different and more meaningful for both characters and players than what is currently planned. As is, I have negative amounts of interest in her pregnancy content. Allowing my PC to impregnate her would immediately make me excited about it. That and I highly doubt fans of Ryn would suddenly be grossed out by her having a vagina. Lesbians would be satisfied because... vagina, and straight/bi guys would be satisfied at not having to fuck a poop chute. It would just be a nice little extra thing not many would mind. People WOULD mind Brienne having a dick because that splits up her content and potentially lead to fans only liking her with a vag, or with a dick. Thus, it's harder to please people and creates more work for the character.
It's also a lot harder to ignore a giant horsecock than a vagina hidden by dick, so there's also that.
Ryn is supposed to appeal to guys and gals that like subby, potentially romantic, dickgirls and I we should respect that.
Yes, you're right. We should respect that. But please answer me this, how does giving her a vagina go against any of those things? She's still subby because you're knocking her up. It's still romantic because she's getting knocked up by her lover. She's still a dickgirl if she also has a vagina.
The answer is, it doesn't. It goes against what Savin wants, not what the people who like Etheryn want. Ordinarily such a thing would be fine, but the substitute for us impregnating Etheryn is not romantic whatsoever and goes against why people like her.
THAT is the problem. And that's when I stop respecting what Savin wants. Ryn knocking up Elthara is practically the fucking antithesis of the character.
