Aaaa thank you for the very long comment ;a;
It was very fun to read all your thoughts on the story, and about My Boys; I appreciate it >_<
And, as for your thoughts..........
So, the 'lore' I was working with while establishing this universe is that homosexuality isn't illegal in Indra (since Tavi talks about sleeping with men pretty casually), and gay marriage is also legal. So, Yuel and Tavi could get married without any issues...
Exceeeept, since Yuel is the king, his advisors would really rather him marry a woman so he can have kids who'll inherit the throne when he dies. So, they wouldn't be very supportive of Yuel marrying Tavi and if he tried it might cause ~political friction~
There's also the issue of whether Tavi would even want to get married because he probably wouldn't want to be 'tied down' like that, which would also cause Problems.
I actually did write several more scenes in this universe which didn't end up in the VN itself, because it'd double the artist's workload and make it prohibitively expensive to make: plus, I think Ephemera has a pretty nice conclusion as-is.
I do know how I see their relationship progressing, though.
Basically, I wrote it so Yuel does end up marrying a woman, under pressure from his advisors. They have a bit of an awkward relationship, since Yuel is just The Most Monogamous and only wants to be with Tavi. However, he does treat his wife with respect and compassion, and they get along fairly well despite neither of them being in love with one another.
Yuel ends up having a child with his wife, and Tavi offers to help look after it (since Yuel ends up freaking out about how he's worried he can't be a good father b/c he didn't have a proper father figure in his life). So, Tavi is pretty involved in looking after the child too (and Tavi has to look after Yuel during this too lmao) and as they get closer Tavi ends up dedicating himself fully to Yuel because he loves him and wants to support him.
Yuel's wife ends up being a bit of a third wheel in this scenario (and tbh I feel a bit bad for her....... haha......) but I think it's still a happy resolution for the most part.
But, yeah, I only partially wrote this continuation out, and since I didn't wind up actually releasing these extra scenes you're free to disregard it and come up with your own ideas for how you'd like things to go hahaha ;;;
And I do have plans to make more VNs about my boys because I love them a lot lmao I think there's more I can explore with their relationship.
One of these VNs is a modern day setting like UIL but both Yuel and Tavi are older and it's a little more morose (but not super sad), and the other is another offshoot of Ashes which is depressing AF lol...
I'm not sure when either will be finished (especially since I'm working on some other projects which are actually about other characters lol), but I'll definitely make more about them at some point! Even if it's not the wisest idea financially speaking sksksksk but I'm having fun so I guess it's OK.........
