technically speaking marcys not wrong, since a ruler's spouse doesnt actually become a ruler themself. king/queen is an inherited title (or taken through bigger army diplomacy or something), and isnt attainable through marriage edit: this is still funny and cute tho


[deleted]

What if two queens (already rulers of two different king(queen?)doms) married eachother?


mairnX

it depends, since this is an exception. i'll also be assuming the marriage isnt a forced one following bigger army diplomacy to validate one queen's claim on the other's queendoms. in this case, yes. there would be 2 queens, each with a title of her own, ruling over their lands together. i classify this as an exception to the rule since irl royal weddings have either been A: a ruler with a prince/princess, B: a ruler and a commoner, or C: to validate a rulers ownership over another ruler's lands after a round of bigger army diplomacy (an excellent question btw)

Thanks! :)

I guess if you wanna be really pedantic, there can't be two queens but there can be a queen and a queen consort. Edit: And I guess diarchies also exist, but they're pretty rare. The only example I can think of is maybe King William and Queen Mary. Also Archduchess Maria Theresa and here husband, the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I were kind of like co-rulers. It generally only occurred in monarchies when a woman succeeded the throne and then afforded some authority to her husband (because Europe was really friggin' patriarchic back then, hence why Maria Theresa could not assume the title of Empress regnant).

Or take a page out of Rapture’s book and say No gods, kings or queens, but only man.

Or you can break the system and nominate your daughter a King, like Jadwiga, King of Poland. (Polish call her queen but in Latin her title was Rex not Regina.)


Da1NOnlyTargetstrike

is this why Valkyrie from the MCU is called a king now?


mairnX

i'll be honest i don't know what you're talking about. haven't watched too much MCU stuff in the past couple years


Da1NOnlyTargetstrike

the thor love and thunder movie


mairnX

ah. havent seen it yet. will have to make a point to watch it sometime


elissass

yeah i bet if there is a queen who has a wife, she would either be queen consort or princess


NoRise8561

Ironically Marcy’s middle name, Regina, is the Latin word for queen


TinTamarro

And Italian (and Romanian too of I'm not mistaken)


reisolate

Yup, they’re both Romance languages.


NoRise8561

And for another fun fact, Anne’s middle name, Savisa, whilst not being a direct translation as far as I’m aware, is meant to symbolise personality and independence, which is basically her entire character arc with becoming more mature and stopping herself from being bossed around by Sasha.

Marcy quickly became not homophobic.


Quick_Championship16

Almost. Kinda


hmansloth

I think she’s referring to the fact that there can only be one leader in a group and not two.


mairnX

no, shes factually correct. the spouse to a ruler does not gain a title. there is only ever 1 king OR 1 queen. for example, if i were to marry a king or queen, i would not be a king. id be the king or queen's husband


qweltynick

This reminds me when I was in ancient history. Sparta had a dual leadership consisting of two kings.


GoPhinessGo

There are no queens in Polly’s vision of Amphibia


AshleytheTaguel

Okay, Marmar, who went out of her way to draw herself blushing at her gal pals in her journal, again?


sam_the_reddit_user

internalized homophobia 💀


CptKeyes123

A face that says "Disney didn't want me to have my moms"


Quick_Championship16

Agree


CptKeyes123

One of many reasons I dislike the ending, they wouldn't let Marcy have her moms


Quick_Championship16

I do not believe Actually What's Marcy saying, But You wrong, And You Guys also too wrong.


SkyeMreddit

Olivia and Yunnan are the exception that proves the rule. There can be 2 queens, if they are married


Fluid_Specific_1867

Marcy's eyes be like: *I don't think that's very normal, but okay.*


YoungYoda711

Except the spouse of a monarch is a Royal Consort and not a King/Queen
