Added 2022-05-29 10:07:37 +0000 UTCAny questions this far?? I know I’ve thrown a ton of info at you in the last few pages! We’ll be checking on Song real soon!

Oh that’s scarier then… I get the feeling that neither of them are ready to be trailblazers in the realm of public relationships

2022-05-30 03:06:26 +0000 UTCThey have discussed it but since there haven’t been a lot of other high profile marriages besides Robin and Faye there’s not much to compare it to!

2022-05-30 03:05:11 +0000 UTCI know you keep describing the point at which Song returns as "the main events" and I'm super excited to see that but honestly, it's all the main event for me. this whole fantastic journey of these two and those around them.

2022-05-29 20:22:05 +0000 UTCWe already know that the proposal didn't work, and Mansa was left alone. Did he still get the job, or was everything dropped since he didn't marry anyone? Didn't we see Mansa with a green coat and Thomas with a gold coat from glimpses of the main story? Does that mean that Mansa dropped out alltogether and let Thomas take the job - and became his assistant instead?

2022-05-29 17:33:12 +0000 UTCMansa is here talking about serious emotional burdens and Thomas is responding with a slideshow on political strategy. I love that dynamic (not for Mansa but it is funny). Have Mansa and Song discussed marriage before this? Have there been many other high profile mixed marriages since Bill 58 that would help them understand how it’d change their lives?

2022-05-29 15:55:52 +0000 UTCThis makes it make a lot more sense. Though Mansa didn't tell Song any of this did he?

2022-05-29 14:33:45 +0000 UTCSince she technically isn't a scholar, is her stance more like a singer in the 1800s? Fine enough for entertainment and dalliances, but not appropriate for marriage?

2022-05-29 13:57:21 +0000 UTCAnd when Thomas gets gold who does he marry? 👀 No one but Etty knows the truth. Is she celestial scholar enough to even be considered? She has performed for the judges... but does her stance as someone who left the celestials mean they would have objections?

2022-05-29 13:55:42 +0000 UTCI haven’t really thought about other branches of the government’s uniforms, but I’m open to suggestions!
Whiteley Foster
2022-05-29 12:58:52 +0000 UTCIt definitely happens!
Whiteley Foster
2022-05-29 12:55:14 +0000 UTCNot sure if you've mentioned elsewhere, but what other civil services are color coded (I love a good color coded bureaucracy)? So far we've seen judges (blue w/gold trim), councilors (gold), police (I forget, it's been a minute), assistants (green)

2022-05-29 12:48:57 +0000 UTCThis might have been asked already but I remember in the other comic Mansa mentioning suitors. Are other people still trying to court him even though he’s been with Song for years at this point?
sparksearcher
2022-05-29 12:06:17 +0000 UTCIt’s genuine advice that he benefits from too! He’s just assuming that mansa would make him his assistant but he’s completely right.
Whiteley Foster
2022-05-29 11:52:45 +0000 UTCThe latter! But I’m sure that his relationship with Etty is slowly inching him toward wanting to be himself
Whiteley Foster
2022-05-29 11:51:22 +0000 UTCThomas is going to suggest he marry Song I bet

2022-05-29 11:50:38 +0000 UTCHow does Thomas feel about Infernal politics? Is he trying to gather strenght to come out the more rights they get or he's already accepted living a lie the rest of his life BUT try and make it easier for others?

2022-05-29 11:34:56 +0000 UTCwell, I totally see where Algie is coming from with this thought, but marrying just because you "have to" get married (even when you genuinely would want it, but now the situation is pushing you) is a very complicated thing 😔
sick_pineapple
2022-05-29 11:13:24 +0000 UTCI certainly hope Mansa did not propose because of politics. O_O
Vala
2022-05-29 10:31:14 +0000 UTCWell their main story will end happily, these are just flashbacks to their life before the main events started!
Whiteley Foster
2022-05-29 10:25:58 +0000 UTCIs Thomas giving genuine advice here or is he kinda trying to push Mansa to accept so he can get a promotion as well? Also why does Thomas just assume that Mansa is going to make him his assistant? Is that a deal they have?
Little0cean
2022-05-29 10:25:34 +0000 UTCthose poor two, there are so many complications in their relationship.😭 question can the very last end story be one without complications and problems for those two. a glimpse into their daily life and happiness.😉
