Mansa and Song (Chapter 1 | Page 57)

That’s a very interesting tradition. But it also sounds like a tradition that could turn sour real quick. Depending on how wealthy your partners family is, it’s possible that they think the amount of money that they are given is enough. Is Mansa’s family very wealthy?

2023-04-05 10:51:12 +0000 UTCIn his culture one of the biggest traditions is giving his partners family a large sum of money once he marries them! Sort of like a reverse dowery to prove that he doesn’t have intention of stealing his spouse away, but contributing to the overall wellness of their entire family just like a good child would do for their own parents. In return his spouse’s family throws them a banquet similar to a rehearsal dinner when the engagement is set. This is also stuff that wouldn’t have happened if they married at the end of the proposal! So kind of a good thing over all!

2023-04-05 10:48:26 +0000 UTCThese scenes always remind me of my walk to work in London. A question, unless someone has asked before and I’ve missed it: what has Georgie told Mansa of what transpired in the last story? Has she shared much about Elon, and about how she knew Song wasn’t at fault..?

2023-04-04 20:33:06 +0000 UTCFunFact: That’s the church from Calf-Love. We’ve seen it in a bunch of shots now and it always reminds me of that comic 🥰 I guess you could say their love is looming over the city, beautiful and proud.

2023-04-04 12:49:49 +0000 UTCBoth Thomas and Mansa deserve a little r&r. Ok Mansa might need a ton of r&r. And also therapy. But I feel like it will be a while until he gets that 🥲 In a recent post you talked about how Mansa has unique marriage traditions from the country he grew up in. I would love to hear more about them. And about Mansa’s culture in general.
