Losing his children or his lovers is always high on the list. But beyond that and something on a more selfish level it would be losing his smithy. It was, for a time, his only job and means of providing. He used to hate it but it’s grown on him, become a valuable skill and his smithy is proof of that skill. Losing it would be biter blow.

Shh: Three things they wouldn’t want their parents to know.
“Everything.”
“…But if I had to p-pick? My husband, my lovers, and my vows. Some things they are unable to understand, others they would refuse to accept because their values and morals are antiquated. And my vows because… I took them for other people. Not for them. I’ve not i-interest in being barraged by questions. or getting their approval. Both are unwanted.”
How does he make four boyfriends work?
They’re all relationships like any other? But they work like any relationship! They do things with and apart from Tyleriil and they’re all at least friendly with each other. They all share Ty as a boyfriend but they don’t necessarily spend their days or time with the other people.
Ty makes sure to spend time with each during the week. He might prefer going to the WOW version of TGI Friday’s with Boyfriend #4 because boyfriend #4 orders the huge nacho cheese platter that Ty likes. But it doesn’t make it any less enjoyable if the other boyfriends want to go. And it requires communication and work because it’s not all about the physical things. There’s still arguments and occasional drama that appears in any relationship with one person- with more than one that tends to come up more. So it’s not all sunshine and seashells.
Not all of them have the same likes and interests either. My favorite example is that one of them is ace. So before they got together if Tyleril and him took a walk through the park then it was just a walk through the park. But now that they’re together Ty might like, hold that boyfriend’s hand or pick him up in a hug to twirl him around. Each boyfriend is a different person with different likes, dislikes, and so on. Tyleril makes time for them, sends a lot of letters, small gifts in his own way (cute things he fashions from scrap, does chores, etc etc). I can’t emphasize how important communication is for relationships enough.
Tyleril just turned out to be suited for it. he’s never done well in a relationship where he has had to stay with one person. He just does well with what he has now, even when there’s arguments and drama Tyleril has shown himself to be well suited for polyarmourous relationships.
I hope that helps? Thank you for the ask anon!

“I respect the city and those that serve it- to serve the people is a b-blessing and a burden both. But if it saved my children I would break my vows and s-suffer the consequences. I respect you and I support you.”
“But you’re not worth my children.”
Question to Tyr: “What is your favorite type of coffee, given the numerous blends on Azeroth?”
“After a time, if you drink, you can drink almost anything. I get the most strong brew legally a-available. Manawish coffee.” As to what could be illegaly strong he does not elaborate.
Thank you for the question @of-whelps-and-wizards !
Lofn: Have you ever been close to someone you shouldn’t have been? Tyr: What makes you angry?
Lofn: Have you ever been close to someone you shouldn’t have been?
Tyleril seems torn on answering for a few minutes, lips thinned out to a straight line as the normally outwardly cheerful priest considers the question. “I s-suppose if I had to consider it and pick a name it would be the man that set me up for this.” A hand that forever seemed to be stained with black soot reaches up to point at his halo. “A blessing. Great power and great burden. But a burden I never wanted.” His fel green eyes move to the right to the children at his forge. Samiel had opened the icebox and Laz’s blue head had peeked out as Samiel chattered.
“S…s-some burdens I will not regret carrying. But I cannot help but hate that I was set up for this regardless.”
Tyr: What makes you angry?
He considers it for some moments. “Right now? I s-suppose it would be if someone stole my coffee.”
@shampoocommercialelves for mentions. Thank you for the question @afallowmoon!
I like how you write Tyleril’s internal struggle while he maintains an outward calm. He has a lot of depth to him.
;’; Thank you! I’m really glad you like it.
💕 Would my muse ever be in a polyamorous relationship?
Tyleril is in a polyamorous relationship! I’m not sure how to describe it without going into paragraph level detail so I’ll try to keep it short and sweet-ish. It might be mildly nsfw so below the cut!
Any relationship requires work, talk, and understanding on some level. Some people do well in closed relationships and Tyleril has discovered that that’s simply not for him. Regardless of why it isn’t for him Tyleril has chosen instead to have relationships with four different people and each of them are aware of the other. Though Tyleril is unlikely to have another he remains very open to talking with them if say, a concern or something does come up. Do they want to spend more time with him, try something new, are they concerned about something? The key to maintaining a relationship (For Tyleril) is communication. And to him it’s not about lust. Each one of his lovers is different and each one makes him feel complete in their own way. He might go to one to be taken care of or simply to drop off dinner or to sit on the couch and read with them. When Tyleril needs his ‘me’ time he’ll let them know and take his time. When they need him he’ll make time for them.
Any relationship is hard and him having four makes them harder. But that they are all aware of each other and willing to talk makes it easier. It’s become part of his life to have those four and he’s grown comfortable with the space they now occupy in his life and heart.
Thank you for the ask!
Before he became a priest, what did Tyleril struggle with on a personal psychological level?
Anger issues,hatred, inadequacy, and a deep-seated resentment towards his birth family. His Father was a smith and had taught Tyleril the trade from the moment Tyleril grew old enough to help around the forges and Tyleril’s mother was a zealous member of her own brand of rigid nature based beliefs.
He grew up believing he had very few choices in life as to what he was able to do and knowing the potentially long lifespan ahead of him, grew angry and unhappy. The life of a blacksmith for an elf of no arcane talent? Appalling. Following his mother’s path to become a hedgewitch? Also appalling. He wanted, needed to be more. Something greater. He didn’t hate his parents for his lack of magical talent or teaching him a trade profession.
As a child he followed what they said without question, as a young adult he questioned it and grew to understand, if only by a sliver, just how big the world was and how small his own corner was. How inadequate his skills were compared to the lowest necromancer or mage apprentice. How poorly prepared he was to be on his own fully in the world. Just how easily he could be forgotten. He wasn’t ready to leave home when he did but if anger does anything it certainly is fuel for short-term, poorly crafted plans.
Becoming a priest didn’t resolve the issues. It just helped hide them better beneath layers of polish and practiced actions.
@pyrosophist Thank you for the ask!
Regarding Tyleril’s selflessness-in-excess, who among Tyleril’s circle of friends and family is most likely to call him out? Does it distress Samiel, and if so– does Tyleril know?
Tyleril’s selflessness-in-excess is the end result of bad choices and a misguided belief that if he DOES exude the virtues of the Light he believes best then maybe, just maybe, it’ll make all the internal feelings and negative emotions he bottles up maybe go away. He listens for the Light to whisper to him through his halo and when he hears its assurance it’s near impossible to dissuade the man otherwise. It normally falls upon Aestus, Alexander, or Thanelor- he doesn’t quite realize how often he only sees the one path and no other. Maybe the Light influences him more than he’s aware.
A lot of what Tyleril does tends to stress Samiel- in several ways he’s the opposite of Tyleril. Samiel does not care for his Father’s selflessness. Too often it takes something from tyleril- whether it’s energy, time, or sapping his smile. He thinks Tyleril’s attempts are not received as well as they should be and that people don’t care for Tyleril as much as Tyleril does them stresses him out. Tyleril’s not aware of it as Samiel tends to keep his views quiet- it wouldn’t be the first time they have argued over it. But in many things his father is an immobile rock and Samiel just a leaf carried by the wind. So Samiel tries his best to protect Tyleril in his own ways. They’re not effective, but he tries.
