I've never understood this pairing. That is not Tanya, that is not Lehrgen, and this is not The Saga of Tanya The Evil. It's almost like we're in the sick imagination of Being X.
Is it more odd if you think of it as an army colonel proposing to an underdeveloped 11 year old, or if you think of it as an army colonel proposing to a crossdressing man twice his age?
