Three Assumptions: 1. Tyleril wears lacy lingerie. 2. Tyleril eats more sweets than he openly admits. 3. Secretly Tyleril has a mad crush on the Regent Lord.

1.) He does not! Nor has he considered it. Lace does not appeal to Tyleril. He likes boxers.

2.) He’s actually very picky about what sweets he does eat so he tends not to eat them sparingly. (I.e. He hates cheesecake but likes ice cream.)

3.) He has a celebrity crush. He has a framed generic city service award the Regent Lord signed. He sees it as a sign the Regent Lord appreciates his hard work. (Even though Lor’themar wouldn’t know him from any other elf in the crowd.)

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!

💕 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!
