This part emphasizes something that's a reality but is left unsaid: in traditional marriage, even in many societies today, the bride-to-be needs to have a good dowry, no matter her class (which is why for many families collecting a dowry for your daughter is a lifetime process).

As an orphan with no family (just like Jonathan, putting them in almost equal standing) she has no such thing to give, all she has is her love and trust.

summary:

Wei Wuxian is getting married. His parents help him get ready and after their usual rambunctious shenanigans, they enjoy this tranquil moment of tradition before everythig changes.

...Or does it?

snippet:

“I believe the ceremony requires only a wise female family member. I suppose you are welcome to stay, but I require payment,” said Wei Wuxian sternly.

It went without saying that he wanted a straight answer as this payment.

Wei Changze laughed. It was a low sound, from deep in his belly. Wei Wuxian thought it felt comforting. “Alright, alright. I will tell you and then I hope my son will graciously let me attend.”

Wei Wuxian hummed as if in thought, tapping his chin with a finger as the other hand supported the arm at the elbow. “I suppose you can,” he conceded, as if there was any chance he would not want both of his parents during every step of the wedding… Well, at least until the wedding night.

“This one is very grateful,” replied Wei Changze solemnly. “As for the gift, well… I was not lying when I said it was a traditional gift. We sent the Lans a wild goose as part of your dowry.”

A wild goose? Oh dear…

“We have carefully selected the very best goose for Gusu Lan,” added Cangse Sanren with a snicker.

“Oh dear,” Wei Wuxian repeated gravely, this time out loud. Despite his serious tone, his mouth was twitching uncontrollably. “I am sure it was a very fat goose that will fit right in Cloud Recesses. Where pets are not allowed—”

“It’s a wild goose!” protested Cangse Sanren.

“—and there is no killing allowed either.” Wei Wuxian finished, beaming. “But since it is a betrothal gift, they cannot just release it into the wild! Oh, this is great,” Wei Wuxian cackled. “I bet Lan Qiren was just delighted!”

“You should have seen his face!” Cange Sanren chimed in cheerfully.

“That’s all well and fun when it is the Lans that have to deal with it,” said Wei Changze. “Less so when they ask me for help…”

“Oh dear,” said his wife, hiding her laughter behind her hand. It did not work very well, and he sent her a wounded look. “What happened?”

“What didn’t happen…” Wei Changze released a tired sigh, then proceeded to recount his adventures with the wild not-a-pet, not-a-meal goose, as it had escaped its enclosure during feeding time and first terrorized the meditating Elders in the Cold Pond, then stole the drying laundry, and finally snuck into the female disciples’ quarters.

Threads of Tradition and Individuality

Daily writing promptWhat traditions have you not kept that your parents had?View all responses Once upon a time, in a quaint Indian village, I was a young girl named Radha. My days were filled with the simple joys of life, playing in the fields, tending to the cows, and helping my mother with household chores. Our village was steeped in rich traditions, and as I grew older, my parents began to…

Marriage Traditions of The Maasai People

The Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting selected but large parts of northern, central, and southern Kenya and across the border in the north of Tanzania. The Maasai speak the Maa language, a member of the Nilotic language family related to the Dinka, Kalenjin, and Nuer languages. Although, except for some elders living in rural areas, most Maasai people speak the official languages of…

What happens when a Jedi Initiate dies?

It cannot always be prevented, the galaxy is a dangerous place, especially for children, and the Jedi are still only mortal.

Accidents happen. Illnesses exist.

Tragedies do too.

The Crèchemasters are highly trained to prevent that, of course, but they too are only mortal. They too can fail.

The death of an Initiate is a heavy burden, for the entire Temple. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is a heavy burden. It is from that burden that one of the Order's most sacred traditions stems from.

They may die an Initiate, but they will not join the Force without guidance.

When an Initiate dies, they automatically gain the rank of Padawan – no matter their age. They will posthumously be taken in by a Master and be gifted a braid and a lineage. If they already found their crystal and built their saber, these too will be taken care of by their new Master.

Some Masters of such Ghost-Padawans, especially those who had a bond before their passing, will live the following years as if they had a living student. They will not take on another until the Force or they themselves deems them ready, at which point the High Council will hold a honorary Knighting.

Because while the Order might lose an Initiate, no Initiate will ever be left alone.

#a bit of #star wars meta #for your consideration :)#inspired by the concept of ghost marriages #and my staunch belief that the jedi are found family galore #for a people that has one of its core tenants be 'there is no death only the force' such a tradition would simply make sense #star wars headcanons #star wars #me writing #random boli thoughts #the jedi #jedi order #jedi padawan #also you know the inherent tragedy of other padawans of the same master having a lineage sibling that never was alive to meet them #and the beauty of them still counting as full members of a lineage #jedi as found family #to put it in ao3 terms :)

The routine of a virtuous woman to inspire your own

She wakes up earlier than all others at home - (Proverbs 31:15)

Dedicates her first moments in the morning to God (Proverbs 31:30)

Prepares the family meal with calm and organize her daily tasks (Proverbs 31:15)

Takes care of her appearance - not be complimented by people outside, but by her own family (Proverbs 31:25)

Takes care of her family needs and do the daily maintenance of her home (Proverbs 31:27)

Works with effort and dedication. Wherever she goes she’s a testimony of her family’s good reputation (Proverbs 31:13)

Tries to be creative and bring new investments and opportunities to her family (Proverbs 31:16)

Even at night she’ll save some energy and liveliness to use with her husband (Proverbs 31:18)

Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3

call buffyverse the bermuda triangle because no ship made it out of that shit alive. no marriage finale, no kids, no epilogue. the ideal ending for me where it's just a whole bunch of exes and dead exes in a world where people are constantly coming back to life. multidimensional divorce FOREVER.

#sorry i'm like one of those conservatives obsessed with a particular idea of traditional heterosexual marriage but it's for divorce #to be clear i'm not talking about real divorce just like the people obsessed with Marriage are not actually talking about real marriages #but the IDEA they think it represents #real life is largely too boring and variable to talk about in sweeping terms #but i think the IDEA that two people once in love can fall out of it. unevenly. wretchedly. for the worse. is beautiful.#me watching buffyverse: wow these people are terrible to each other not because they're 'evil' but because they're incredibly human.#hedgehog's dilemma.... just like in my animes....#no resolution!! only the Struggle of Living forever!!!#whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo #buffyposting #btvs

She fixes her home, instead of her man.

She gives thanks, instead of orders.

She uses her voice for kindness, instead of evil.

She makes a warm dinner, instead of trouble.

She puts up flowers, instead of her guard.

She opens her heart, instead of an act.

Marriage Traditions and Customs of Tonga People

Tonga Tribe The Tonga people of Zambia and Zimbabwe (also called ‘Batonga’) are a Bantu ethnic group of southern Zambia extraction. A small fraction of the Tonga people could be found in neighboring Northern Zimbabwe, extending towards Mozambique. They have settled agriculturists who grow corn (maize) primarily for subsistence but also for limited commercial purposes. The vast majority of Tonga…

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess?#she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies)#which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore
