It's totally possible! Most often it's related to an intersexed condition.

A roshava with such a condition may be slightly more blue or slightly more red, but there is a definite purplish hue to them which is unlike binary-sexed roshava.

I can certainly try! Though like I always say, most Great Kingdoms are split up into many little territories, and some of those territories may be more homophobic than others. This makes them a bit hard to rank.

Matuzu Capital City, for instance, is very LGBT-friendly. But the small Matuzan town of Rodanga has a less friendly culture towards same-sex couples and the concept of gender identity. So, there are cases where a kingdom might rank low on this list, but it doesn't necessarily mean all of that kingdom's cultures are homophobic. It's just an "overall" score. With that said, here's how I'd rank them...

Matuzu Kingdom

Unseelie Court

Mogdir Kingdom

Zareen Empire

Seelie Court

Folkvar Kingdom

Etios Nation

Lamai Nation

Aquarian Alliance

Yerim-Mor Kingdom

Evangeline Kingdom

Empire of Damijana

1-5: Largely LGBT-friendly, no worries here!

6-9: Some areas are sketchy, some are okay.

10-12: Largely unsafe for LGBT people.

This is very educative!! I myself as a fantasy artist/writer have been trying to figure out how interspecies reproduction might work just for the sake of figuring out it's logic in a modern fantasy, thank you! 🙏

I'm glad to hear this was helpful to you! There is almost no question too raunchy for the Looming Gaia blog, so I've amassed a big ol' archive of information about fantasy critter sexuality over the years. Check out the following tags for related topics:

"The fgg change sex for 24 hours, what hilarious situations end up happening?"

I answered a similar question --> HERE <--

Jeimio (Jeimos) would be stoked at first, then very disappointed when the spell wore off.

Evelynn (Evan) becomes the beefiest woman in Drifter's Hollow, and Glenda (Glenvar) is simping hard for her.

Lulu (Lukas) awakens uncomfortable feelings in everyone.

Javanni (Javaan) and Bellazaar (Balthazaar) try to score as many free drinks at the tavern as possible until the spell wears off.

Lando (Linde) is going insane because now none of his clothes fit and he has no idea how to dress anymore.

Nothing really changes for Ellis (Elska), except he has become bigger and more muscular, which he considers a win.

Alan (Alaine) turns himself into a sideshow attraction to earn money, marketing himself as "a rare male mermaid".

Skelle (Skel) feels strangely at ease with this change...but won't admit this to anyone.

Ms. Ocean desperately tries to lay eggs so she can fertilize them and become a father when the spell wears off. Doesn't succeed, just shits herself and passes out.

Zeffra (Zeffer) has a mental breakdown, afraid that Evan won't be attracted to her anymore. Hides from everyone until the spell wears off.

Zacry is unaffected by the spell, but its AI is confused as fuck when everyone else is.

Someone actually requested drawings of gender-swapped FGG a while back. I didn't draw them all, but I did a few rough sketches:

That's a great question! Same-sex marriage is legal in all Great Kingdoms except Evangeline and Damijana.

It's mostly legal in Lamai Nation as well, although it comes with some caveats. I'll talk about those in a second. First I will say that by Lamaish law, gorgons can only marry other gorgons. A Lamaish gorgon marriage may legally contain:

A female and alpha male.

A female, alpha male, and ziqit.

A female and a ziqit.

Two females.

Two females and an alpha male.

Two females and a ziqit.

Only these combinations can be in a legally-recognized partnership. Notice that two alpha males cannot exist in the same marriage, nor can an alpha male marry a ziqit. This is due to the fact that females have more rights in Lamai Nation than males do. Only females can own property, take out loans, etc. Males can only do these things with permission from a female representative; usually their grandmother, mother, sister, or wife. A family unit without at least one adult female in it can't really function in this culture.

When an alpha male and a ziqit marry the same female, they are not necessarily marrying eachother. They are each married "separately" to the female, so if the female dies or exits the marriage, the alpha male and ziqit have no legal ties to eachother anymore.

These males don't even get custody of their own children in most cases, the government tries to pass the children to female relatives of the mother first, then female relatives of the alpha male, then female relatives of the ziqit.

If the children are refused by all those parties, they are sent to an orphanage instead of to their fathers, because like I said, male gorgons do not have many rights in this society, so it would be harder for them to provide for a child without a female present, who has the power own property, bank accounts, and make important legal decisions that males cannot make.

When a gorgon wife dies, one of her female relatives usually takes ownership of the home as well as custody of her children. If this relative is single, she may even marry the alpha male and ziqit who were left behind. Otherwise these males might seek a new wife together, seek different wives separately, or just remain unmarried but continue living in that household to be with their kids. There are many possibilities, but ultimately it's up to the living female left in charge of the dead wife's estate.

I also want to mention that from a legal standpoint, female gorgons cannot register as ziqits. Some females may call themselves "ziqit" and behave socially like one, but this status won't be legally recognized by Lamai Nation's government.

TL;DR: Lamai really said, "lesbian marriages are fine but gay marriage is no-no because men are too stupid lol"

2:¿Que reino se podría decir que tiene la moda más extravagante?

(Translated via Google Translate)

1: How common are gay relationships between cecaelias? 2: Which kingdom could be said to have the most extravagant fashion?

1 ) It's actually more common for male cecaelia to have male companions than female ones. There are a few reasons for this: First, there are 10 male cecaelia for every female, so the females are vastly outnumbered. Second, cecaelia are asexual by nature. Since they don't reproduce by having sex, they lack all sense of sexual attraction. They still feel some form of romantic/intimate attraction, but gender is rarely a factor.

This means that most male cecaelia desire romantic companionship, but there aren't enough females of their kind to go around. So, most of them end up with other male cecaelia. It's also pretty common for them to date outside their species. Cecaelia fall in love with personalities, not genitals.

2 ) I would say Matuzu Kingdom is the fashion capital of Looming Gaia. The most famous fashion designer in the world lives here (Miliko) and it's also the home of the World Athenaeum, which is the world's biggest library, museum, and college all in one. Matuzu Kingdom has always been famous for its art-centered culture. Creativity is celebrated here more than anywhere else, and with a population rich in immigrants, there are always new ideas flowing in from all over the world.

Matuzu Capital City is like New York or Paris in the real world. It's where folks go to chase careers in high-end fashion.

Just one pic if I remember correctly, back in 2018:

I would love to do more art in general, unfortunately I have a lot less time and energy than I used to. Once the bulk of the property renovations are done, my biggest priority is getting back into art and writing!
