Yeah, I'm sure that's made it much less awkward.
I didn't even know this was an event!

So this isn't 'my' empire, but rather my character's wife's empire. She's kinda taken Europe by storm. Empress of the HRE.
I can't say I didn't effect this at all, because I helped her win the Kingdom of Hungary against her brother, but everything after that was her doing.

Well that's gonna upset the balance of the game once your son inherits. If the inheritance laws match up. Perhaps consider splitting the ERE and the HRE up yourself

The most important question about the two empires united is… will the name look good on the map? As it is, Moravia is vital Namensraum…

I've considered this. It's honestly more than I can deal with. Though it seems highly unlikely that my character's son will inherit. HRE is still Elective, and though he'll have a claim on it....I dunno if I'll want to press it. Even with him being married to the Queen of Croatia. That's a lot of yellow blob to take on. What I might end up doing if he does get a hold of it somehow is just go ahead and break it up. Release France, Hungary will fall to me anyway, etc. Then let the election take it's course. My main concern (and source of amusement) at this point is that the Empress is Eastern Orthodox after spending so much time in my court. And her vassals absolutely love her. So might end up seeing the empire switch religions, which will be...interesting.

Of this, I have no idea. XD
Considering Castilla is one very easy assassination away from being ruled by the Komnenos king of Denmark who is my character's brother (he went adventuring rather successfully), I'd have a von Habsburg situation on my hands if that happened. I'm not sure I want that. My goal in this game was to restore Rome, not create this monstrosity.
Edit: Also noticed that she has the Content trait. Which I can only take to mean that the game in this instance interpreted it as "Content...TO RULE THE WORLD!"

Well, that monstrosity would help you get multiple duchies you need for restoration. Also, you could destroy HRE title, release all its de jure vassals and keep only Italy. After all, there can only be one Roman Empire.

Gamey to annex the HRE title and release its vassals? Seems like the least gamey choice (if you end up with the HRE title), actually. Releasing vassals would be optional; it's more just to preempt the inevitable massive independence rebellion that will happen if you destroy their de jure liege title and attempt to bind them non-de-jure.
Why? Emperors in Constantinople always considered HRE to be usurper of that title and if they ever got hold over it, they would do everything in their power to destroy it (although, they would keep former vassals and try to incorporate them into Roman Empire).
You might be right. I was more referring to the process of acquisition in general. If it falls into my hands or it makes good sense to obtain it, then yeah that'd probably be the most logical choice. Keep Italy, release the rest, wish the German barbarians happy governance of themselves. I would try to hold onto them I suppose, but the problem is I ended up on the throne via civil war and have nearly been dethroned by a couple of others. The true Empire is, frankly, a wreck. I've been doing everything I can to repair the damage a succession of emperors in a matter of months and repeated invasions did to it, but it's like trying to glue a vase back together. I might get there eventually, but I'm in no position to take on the massive rebellion that would entail.

Really glad to hear that our new civil war mechanics and such are actually presenting a decent challenge to player lieges of large realms (and some fun intrigue for your mental AAR).
You could say that. One civil war shortly before that screenshot had me spending most my savings to hire mercenaries because the rebel factions outnumbered me so badly. I think next time I'll just give them the bloody county.
Update: Lithuania just united and reformed the Romuva faith. While the HRE goes increasingly Eastern Orthodox, my heir is Catholic. I don't think I've had this much fun with a game in awhile.

That fractured Europe...I'm curious to know if anything ever came of that.
Some funny pictures from my current Ragusa game:
Catholic Mongols:
Mali has been formed, they are killing Aztecs:
Lombards in Hungary and Mongol enclave in "Romis Imperia":
