other option: NOBODY!!

So I agree with you for the most part, and I mostly put the other options for either flavor, or because I saw fanart. However I do not agree Iris has currently or has ever had âdaddy issuesâ I explain further this in an art piece I made of her father, but to summarize.
Irisâs father has only been dead a few months, and from all the Google searching Iâve done has shown that daddy issues arise from lack of parental affection. It is not shown at all that her and her father had any bitterness between them, and if she has a problem with anyone due to her fatherâs death itâs the Order.
I think Iris shows that she cares, but for Mordenâs perspective, she makes him feel⌠vulnerable I guess. Not in a good way. Morden is a very guarded person, especially after the trauma he went through, and was even called a âlonerâ by Vetex. I think her âtough loveâ can poke into Mordenâs insecurities. Idk how to word that betterâŚ
When Iris carried him, he went âDo you seriously have to carry me like this?â and when later Iris poked at him for sleeping so long that heâs starving he want âUgh, Iâd rather you not point that out 
â
Though, I think this might change later on through the story where Morden learns to put his guard down, for now, the two are like mixing oil and water. I guess.

This is gonna sound super lame, but I think those are more meant to be funny banter moments than anything serious

Oh yeah, I was joking on the âDaddy issuesâ, I didnât mean it in the general term. I meant it in the way that the âdaddy issueâ she has, is that her father was missing for months, and then she finds out heâs dead. Which is why having a good relationship with her father is specifically why it hits her harder. I tried to do the joke and connected it with Mordenâs âfriend issuesâ, as Tucker is also dead.
Funny banter can still have deeper meaning, and can actually reveal more about a characterâs thinking process and how it contrasts the other. Theyre still character establishing moments nonetheless
Fair enough, thanks for clarifying.
Yeah I know, and I donât want a romance option, or even really any romantic subplots in AO. However, I still enjoy writing my silly stories where an amnesiac Irish man and an emotionally unstable red head find love.
Great, yall are making me curious about AO MC ships nowâŚ

My machinations are working >: ). If you want I link my AO3 so you can read my stories. My Sif x Iris arenât my best works yet, but I plan on rewriting a bunch of them at some point in the future.
Donât get me wrong they can, these dialogue moments do show us the personalities of the characters, but I donât think its as deep as youâre suggesting. Especially the part where Iris mentions that Morden is starving, dude hasnât eaten in days so being reminded of it and thus actually realizing how hungry he is, is gonna suck, I doubt it has much to do with his insecurity.
Its a similar case with the princess carry bit, being princess carried is kinda just embarrassing on its own. Him being embarrassed by it doesnât necessarily mean Iris is poking into some deeper insecurity.
This isnât to say Morden doesnât have insecurities, but these moments in particular I have a lot of doubt for them having anything thing to do with it.
Yeah, Iris and Mordenâs personalities clash a lot. Iris is that one sibling who is constantly on the move, doing snarky comments at you but still loves you. Morden is that one older sibling who is done with lifeâs shit and would rather have no one disturb him.
Put them in a room together and theyâll get uncomfortable real quick with Iris not knowing what to say that doesnât somehow get under Mordenâs skin. I donât think Morden hates Iris, but he isnât exactly a fan of her personality. In his journal he depicts her as a ticking time bomb, so he likes the contrast of Neviroâs cold gaze and Irisâ personality, but he doesnât WANT to engage her on his own.
I mean, seriously, the first thing Iris does after us going missing for 2 months is do a snarky remark. Not out of malice or mean behavior, sheâs just like that, and that lack of filter is what sets off Mordenâs low tolerance for levity in serious situations. You can see that he was even slightly pissed off at the thought of you joking in front of Tuckerâs grave (it wasnât a joke, you genuinely didnât know, but he took it as one).
Theyâve only known each other for a bit, and for most of it Morden was out cold. Iâm seriously hyped for the Nimbus update to see how they develop.
