This is something I've thought a lot about. Being a gay woman, I'm really very fond of Valkubus. Bo and Tamsin are super cute together and it's pretty awesome to have an actual LGBT couple on regular television. I know that going into season 4 the future of their relationship is a little in doubt, with Rachel Skarstan saying she's all team Dyson and everything. That being said, here are the pros and cons I see with the major relationships that Bo has had and the reasons why I think Tamsin really is the best for Bo. However the next season goes (especially with the addition of new cast members) I just really want Bo to be happy and not have to worry about drama in her love life!
Dyson x Bo
Pros -
- He's really loyal to Bo, even going with her into tmeple for The Dawning
- Dyson is Fae, so he can keep up with Bo's "hunger"
- He can only mate once, for life, so he's kind of stuck with Bo
Cons -
- He is impulsive, doing stupid things to try and help (going to the Norn, for example)
- His mating once for life could also be a con (if Bo doesn't choose him, he could become spiteful)
Lauren x Bo
Pros -
- She helped Bo in season one, without telling The Ash, risking punishment
- She's amazing with science and can heal/cure Bo if she's ever poisoned
Cons -
- Lauren always seems to have a secret agenda (saving Nadia, running away from the Light Fae, etc)
- She is never entirely truthful with Bo, even when they are in an actual relationship
- She is human, so they cannot maintain a monogamous relationship like Bo wants
Tamsin x Bo
Pros - *Tamsin is an amazing warrior and can protect Bo
- She went against The Wanderer (Odin) to try to save Bo
- She's sassy and totally badass
Cons -
- Until she fell in love with Bo, she was on a mission to kill her
- Bo's father might possibly still have a hold over Tamsin
- Tamsin is also close to the end of her life cycle
