Morgause had no idea who Disgrace was until he literally appeared on her doorstep. He had heard of her, of course, because she was the most famous necromancer on Gaia. He was quite a passionate necromancer himself and wanted to seek her help with training, troops, enchanted weapons, and so on. He was prepared to make serious deals with a powerful kingdom, but he didn't quite know what to expect when he flew into the Unseelie Court for the first time.

Morgause saw a huge fleet of mysterious armed men and undead heading towards her castle and said "oh hell naw", personally running outside to blast them into oblivion. But when she laid eyes on Disgrace, it was love at first sight...well, not "love" exactly, because monsters aren't capable of it. It was more like an intense, all-consuming lust that has gripped her by her shriveled ovaries ever since that fateful day...she thought the Overlord was the hottest thing on Gaia, and she proposed marriage within 10 minutes of meeting him.

Disgrace accepted her proposal, but only in exchange for troops and gold. Morgause gladly handed over a fat load of resources and had an impromptu wedding that night. Unfortunately for her, Disgrace still had business to manage back in the Serkel Desert, so he could not stay and be her king (not that he wanted to anyway). She bid him a dramatic farewell, but said he was welcome back so long as she remained on the throne.

So, yes...Disgrace is legally married to Morgause. She is also married to like 40 other dudes, so that doesn't mean much, but she does consider him her favorite husband because he is the only divine one. Their marriage is only legally recognized in Unseelie Court, other Great Kingdoms won't even acknowledge it.

Some Unseelie people are disgusted by Morgause's marriage to this high-profile terrorist, but most of them are so fatigued and so used to her crazy bullshit, they're just like "Yeah, that's classic Morgie...". Her other husbands are a collection of warlords, crime bosses, and other scumbags, so this is no surprise to them.

As for Disgrace, he hates Morgause. He truly despises her, thinks she's repulsive, and resents every second he has to spend around her. But she's officially his sugar momma, the one with the big money he needs for his operations, and the only Great Ruler who doesn't tell him to fuck off, so he has to play nice with her once in a while. She looks forward to his visits like Christmas morning, meanwhile he's dreading it like a root canal. They have a really funny dynamic imo.

These replies damn near killed me lmao

I LOVE the idea of Morgause getting offended when someone implies she's anything less than a deplorable maniac.

"What do you mean I 'wouldn't eat a baby'?! I'd eat a thousand babies! Ten thousand! Alive! I'd pluck them right out of an orphanage, set the place on fire, and cackle maniacally while I stuffed them down my gullet--and how dare you think otherwise! You don't know me, you ingrate! >80"

Then she swishes her cape dramatically as she heads for the exit, kicking a poffle like a football on the way out.

Knowing how he feels about Terrians, dude probably would eat a human baby if it was sitting on a plate in front of him. :|

Okay, just kidding...even he wouldn't do that. He'd send the kid back to Terria and say "We'll meet again when you're old enough to fire a harpoon, you little shit..."

The creepiest thing about Sovereign is how many people don't consider him evil at all; in fact, they see him as a saint! To many Aquarians, he is a hero. He is the one person bravely standing up for their rights while the Terrian menace literally dumps shit on them.

On land, he is viewed as a menacing terrorist. But in the sea, he is known for his caring and generous heart. He is passionate about protecting Aquarian kind and goes out of his way to personally help individuals. Fame and glory is part of it, but he is genuinely passionate about his cause. He is not 100% heartless, he hates seeing his people in pain and wants to protect them from those that do them harm.

But as Mr. Ocean said, he has become blinded by this passion, and his love for Aquarians has become corrupted into hatred for Terrians. He does evil things for righteous reasons, because he is too consumed by hatred to get perspective on his actions. He has become so fearful of losing his culture and his people to Terrian bullshit, he's spiraled right into eugenics practices with his own children to ensure that they'll be strong enough to fight his battle after he's gone.

Now, as for the baby dolphins...there are so many peoples--in real life and on Looming Gaia--who torture animals for the sake of cuisine. Factory-farmed pigs, eating live octopi, boiling lobsters alive, the whole process of making veal...Sovereign is no exception. He is selfish and his eating habits are morally reprehensible, but this type of thing is sadly not unique to him.

We could just as easily call out Indiga, because everything on her plate was harvested and prepared by slaves. Or Qara, because her beloved fast food comes from factory-farms and woefully underpaid workers. Or even Oberon and his stupidly expensive truffles, which he scarfs down while so many of his people suffer hunger due to poverty.

Anyway this is just my long-winded way of saying Sovereign is a cruel bastard, but at least he has sorta legit reasons for being the way he is. There is no justifications for his atrocities, but there is at least a trail of logic you can follow to see how he got there.

Now Morgause, on the other hand...she would eat a human baby. Like, not even a second of hesitation, she's scarfing that thing simply because it's a fucked up thing to do and she knows it'll piss everyone off.

Sovereign antagonizes people to get eyes on his cause and hopefully end Aquarian suffering.

Morgause antagonizes people because Titania told her "no" once and she's BIG MAD about it.

Honestly I think the main reason is insecurity. She can't stand the fact that she has no soul, she hates being a monster, she hates the way peoples tower above her on the social hierarchy, she hates that Titania "betrayed" her...she's just so full of rage and she hates the world so much, she just wants to see it burn at this point. Creating chaos makes her feel powerful. She feels like she has something to prove.

The 1000-THR Earthmover, a machine hundreds of meters tall whose lightning cannon can decimate a city, a shield generator making it impervious to all attacks on it’s exterior, and large enough to also house a city. Finally, It is powered by both solar energy and blood.

What type of hell have I unleashed by giving Morgause this giant robot alpaca?

Her first move would be to unleash this thing on the Seelie Court. Once they were destroyed, she would try to unleash it on the rest of the world.

But I think realistically, world governments would step in the second she turned it on the Seelie Court. Because they know what her next move after that will be, and they will not tolerate it. It would turn into the most lopsided war in history: all Great Kingdoms vs. Unseelie Court.

Ironically, giving Morgause this much power would lead to her destruction.

Well, let me put it this way...

Imagine being a lowly monster. Nobody in the world likes you except your own creator. Your creator is not only a divine, but one of the oldest and most powerful ones on Gaia. One day you get a bug up your butt and decide, "You know what? FUCK this ho!" and declare war on your all-powerful creator.

You do not have the means to fight her. You have literally nothing because you just defected from her kingdom. The only reason you survive this action is because your creator loves and pities you, so she lets you go forge your own kingdom (with blackjack! and hookers!)

So now you have your own little kingdom full of other defectors, and you decide that there will basically be no laws in this land. You don't make this decision because you think it makes sense, but purely to spite your creator. Anything she does, you choose to do the opposite because screw that sanctimonious goody two-shoes!

Somehow you manage to seduce a different divine, and then you proceed to treat him like shit. You brazenly smack him around like a dog, call him names, and straight up murder him several times because you're emotionally volatile and don't handle stress easily. By that I mean, whenever someone disagrees with you about anything or tries to defy you in any way, you kill them and eat their soul.

These are all things Morgause has done. She's either dumb as a rock, has balls the size of Jupiter, or is completely insane. If you ask me, I think it's a mix of all three...

And that's only the beginning. She believes she's too cool for death, so she harvests souls from her own subjects to extend her life. She leads a weird death-cult called Necrom. She's known to raise hundreds of zombies and either make them fight or have giant disgusting orgies for her own entertainment. She practices cannibalism. She drinks elf blood because she believes it gives her special powers (it doesn't...). She's incapable of speaking at a normal volume and SHOUTS EVERYTHING SHE SAYS VERY DRAMATICALLY. She keeps endangered sprights as pets and tries to forcibly breed them. She resorts to violence with zero warning, often for no apparent reason. Death and mayhem makes her laugh.

She also has a massive hate-boner for Titania. Morgause spends almost every waking minute shit-talking her, plotting her assassination (despite the fact that she's a divine), and thinking up ways to torture her. Meanwhile Titania couldn't care less, regarding Morgause like an annoying fly buzzing around her face because she knows Morgause is not powerful enough to challenge her. Everyone knows this.

Everyone except Morgause, who seems to live in her own crazy-ass little reality. Titania just calmly lets her do her thing because of her guilt over creating the drau (and other faerys) in the first place. Titania knows she's too depressed and apathetic to take care of her own creations, so she's kind of pushed the responsibility towards Morgause, who is reveling in it as their queen.

TL;DR: Titania rules a kingdom full of crazy little monsters, but they’re all pretty sane compared to Morgause--who is the craziest little monster of all.
