The Proposal (page 63)
Added 2022-07-18 11:06:19 +0000 UTCWriting Mansa’s dialogue was haaaaaard. I want to convey that he is 100% in while still giving little bits of information that marrying Song might make things difficult with his new colleagues. Of course not intentionally, just to say that Mansa doesn’t care about the challenges if he can be with Song, but still not explaining enough for Song to believe he’s not the problem (the problem is with the rich old politicians, not him!)
I hope that comes across! Hit me with any questions about Mansa’s new job or marriage or whatever!

2022-07-18 23:37:26 +0000 UTC😕 If Song weren't destined to run away, I'd wonder how long it would take for him to snap

2022-07-18 21:39:16 +0000 UTCFor the record, I think Mansa is doing a really nice job at this impromptu proposal. If I didn't know all Song's background issues, I'd read Mansa's words exactly as he intended

2022-07-18 21:21:20 +0000 UTCDoes Faye do stuff like that currently? How has she fared?

2022-07-18 21:21:06 +0000 UTCThey can marry and receive benefits though! Just infernal/human marriage is new

2022-07-18 20:17:02 +0000 UTCNo 😞

2022-07-18 20:10:34 +0000 UTCSo tax breaks and easy wills for marriage contracts, but nothing like that for lariat commitment between infs?

2022-07-18 20:08:07 +0000 UTCMarriage is very similar to America, you get tax breaks and you can legally leave your partners belongings and the usual stuff!

2022-07-18 19:00:38 +0000 UTCTruly just a social example but it goes double for them because he made this bill a law and then he’s not getting married himself. It’s just pressure from society!
Whiteley Foster
2022-07-18 19:00:05 +0000 UTCDoes legal marriage the human way come with benefits in some way for all citizens? Is it another way that devils who are committed to each other get legally othered? Like the difference between marriage and the less important "domestic partnership?"

2022-07-18 16:07:15 +0000 UTCThis is something that I'm sure someone has already asked. Or it may have been explained in the text and I missed it... But is there a reason why it's expected that the judges of that level be married? I know you said it wasn't required but it is expected, and I was just wondering why😅. My guess would be to set a societal example (?) But idk

2022-07-18 12:41:50 +0000 UTCOh no, I can definitely see how Song took this the wrong way, especially given how Elon has leached into his state of mind

2022-07-18 12:03:14 +0000 UTCVery politicians spouse vibes, he’d have to socialize and throw parties and garbage like that
Whiteley Foster
2022-07-18 11:54:44 +0000 UTCyeah, this is definitely the vibe I was getting from his speech ❤️ I love how he's trying to be honest about this, and always reassuring that that while the decision in the moment comes from external situation, his choice is purely made out of love and internal feeling ❤️ I just wish Song's mental stability wasn't so badly broken already 😔💔

2022-07-18 11:50:56 +0000 UTCOoh, my heart, he’s so adorable and in love 💖 he looks sooo happy (and at the same time I can understand why an already insecure Song will misinterpret things)

2022-07-18 11:22:49 +0000 UTCWhat I get with the struggles of their relationship is that generational, cultural, and personal trauma are all a bitch and so are polititians
Skree
2022-07-18 11:16:32 +0000 UTCHe looks so in love 🥰 😭 I think you wrote it just right 👌👌 Do spouses have to do anything special at parties? Like are they expected to talk to each other or stick to their spouse? Or would Song still be able to keep more in the background.
