Crowned in Laurels

<Spoilers⚠️>

(because you'll write it better than I. Trust me ;) )

After conquering their throne and establishing a unified kingdom, the succession issue becomes a matter of gossip among the people and the court. While Damianos is away on a months mission, Laurent takes the matter into his hands and brings back the solution from the Vaskian tribes.

What am I thinking? Well... As pregnancy is not magic with such a big orgy with the Vaskian women, Damianos and the ladies must have produced some male heirs. Since males are not as valued by Vaskian women, I think Laurent could reach an agreement.

Want more ideas? Well... I was thinking about at least 1 male heir, probably 2. I was thinking about a girl, "not good enough" for the Vaskian women. Normally, I think about her being blind in her left eye. But she can be seen as "not good enough" for other reasons.

-> Does one look like a copy-paste of Damianos, and is that noticed by Makedon? Yes, that seems fun. The other kid is blonde, like Laurent, because that's just cute. Because of that, does Nikandros (and Damen) wonder for a moment if Damen got Laurent pregnant? Well, of course!

-> Does Damianos first see the boys and the girl upon arrival with Nik and Makedon running to Laurent, calling him papa in Veretian? Yes. Has Laurent been teaching them solely Veretian? C'mon, of course.

HAPPY PRIDE ITS STILL JUNE AND IT STILL COUNTS!!! Also VERY RARE BICHO LAMEN!!! living for their size diff they r everything

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?
