Triplese7en asked: It's very unconventional for the Fire Lord to share their palanquin with other members of the Royal Family, regardless if they're their family or not, regardless if they're older or not: they usually are treated as their subjects and have their own palanquins.
It's even more unconventional for the Fire Lord to fuck the Princess, his sister, in one of them, especially when they're being carried to their destination. But their Fire Lord's will is their will, so they have no choice but to obey.
Oh. My. God.
It's even better when you remember that the you can see their shadows on the little curtains on these palanquins. The crowds will be shocked seeing their Fire Lord fuck his wife from behind, pulling her hair and calling her a little bitch or his whore. Or doing a 69 with her. Or having her riding and choking him while saying he's her little toy.
Also, goddamn, I hope the people carrying them on their shoulders get paid VERY well. Don't get me wrong, I'd love being so close to some hot, kinky incest action, but imagine having to carry around not one, but two people who won't stop moving? It's the kind of job that makes you think "I should have gone to university like my mom told me to"
When they use carriages, it is way less awkward (and difficult) for everyone involved. But it doesn't have the same thrill. And both the carriages and palanquins need to be cleaned up very carefully, and still end up needing to be replaced after two or three "inappropriate trips"
