Four Is More Than Two (Skit) · 6:19pm Mar 5th, 2021
"Hey, Thorax? I-I had a question."
"Yes Ocellus?"
"Well, um, I know you and Pharynx and Tempest were arguing over who would 'marry' Pharynx when he wore that wedding dress...I was wondering whether you were joking or not, because, well, you already have Ember..."
"Oh, no, that wasn't a joke Ocellus."
"What? But-But Ember-"
"We're married too."
"Wait, what?"
*Uses magic to hold up a golden ring with the word Armentum etched into it. He slides the ring onto his horn.*
"Wait, a wedding ring...?"
*Nods* "We married each other, Ocellus. 'Armentum' is Pony Latin for-"
*Walks up* "It means 'herd'. It was Tempest's idea."
"So...you four..."
*Points at an identical gold ring on his own horn* "What do you think Ocellus? Either Thorax and I married our girlfriends at the same time and just happen to have the same taste in jewelry, which you know is unlikely, or we formed a herd, otherwise known as a Polyamorous relationship."
"But...why...?"
"It was only a matter of time anyway, Thorax and I are...well, closer than we should be, considering we're brothers. And it's not like the girls haven't 'explored' things themselves."
*blushes at the thought* "Really? All four of you?"
"Well, of course! I may love Pharynx, but that hasn't changed my love for Ember. And Tempest and I may not be as close as I am to Phar and Em, but that doesn't mean I don't care about her."
"Same here, Ember and I may not be romantically interested in each other but I still care about her."
"Oh. So Ember and Tempest have rings too?"
"All four of us, yes. I think Tempest hides hers under her armor though, since Twilight doesn't know."
"So don't tell her."
"I won't, I promise. I honestly didn't see this coming...I guess because I haven't interacted with you guys in a while. But I'm happy for you."
"Thanks Ocellus, I'm glad you're okay with it."
"Of course! Besides, I've been hearing rumors that Cornicle, Fema, Sillia, and Tibius are in an unofficial polyamorous relationship."
"They are?"
"Eh, not surprising. They're always napping together and I saw Fema helping Tibius clean himself off after that rainstorm a while ago."
"Yeah, I heard about that. Anyway, I'm happy for you guys! Only... one question."
"What now?"
"Does Metamorphosis know?"
*Eyes widen*
"...Shit."
Heh
Pharynx’s reaction tho
5468143
Heh, yep
"Wait, I thought you were supposed to tell dad!"
"We agreed you would!"
5468144
The rings?
5468145
I can tell him.
5468146
Heh, thanks.
And tell them that *points to panicking Thorax and nervous looking Pharynx*
5468147
"N-No, we can tell him..."
5468149
"...Okay, let's go. But let's stop for some brain bleach on the way."
5468148
*already gone*
5468151
"Maybe don't do that...?"
"Whatever, come on, let's get it over with."
5468152
"Wait, Hero!" *chases*
5468153
No! *smoke-walks away*
5468154
"If you call him a bitch I'll punch you in the face."
5468156
"Come on Phar, we better be there when he does get to dad, so we can also explain."
5468160
*Rolls eyes*
I feel like polyamorous relationships and incest aren't that odd for changelings considering they literally feed off love. Seems like it'd be a very normal thing for them.
5468204
Yeah, true. Phar and Thor are just worried because they think Meta doesn't know they've already been buck-bros for a while
5468205
Not only is he their father, he's alsl a changeling. He's probably known before they did.
5468207
Heh, he figured it out. Pharynx and Thorax got his brains. They just don't know he knows
5468208
So he's gonna play his cards right. He'll let them know he knows when he wants them to, right?
5468209
That was his plan
Of course, now that Thor and Phar are going to tell him they've gotten married it might not work out.
5468211
He can still surprise them by saying he knows.
5468214
True, true
