hello again! i'm considerably less drunk this time around - and i'd like to apologize to everyone for the embarrassing things i said about jiang cheng. if you don't remember it, please don't look it up! keep your mind clean and worry-free!
i do have something of a request, though. i've recently talked with a very wise woman, who has enlightened me about some things i hadn't considered. i may be a servant's son, but that isn't a hurdle for finding happiness! i, wei wuxian, can find love too!
so my request is: marriage gifts. and courting traditions. tell me about them! what are they like where you're from? can they be practiced here? how do you make your intentions known?
please educate me!
[he's going through some Things, please be gentle]

do you tie both wrists, or just one wrist? do you use special ribbons? how do you avoid getting tied up in non-marriage situations, to avoid the confusion?
no subject
But touch it anyway. Grab it, pull it, yank it all over. Eventually that person will just tie your wrists like they captured a prize.
And I guess playing tag.
Yes, tag is a courtship ritual.
And getting drunk!

Well... there’s a lot of different ways to go about these things, depending on a lot of factors. A lot of places have really interesting marriage rituals and courtship ones. Some places require the betrothed to remain separated for a certain period of time before the wedding, there’s superstitions about not seeing the bride in her attire before the wedding becaus it’s unlucky, what items to bring...
In the West there’s a saying about it: Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

But... But... But... Well, he's a romantic at heart, so his response is...actually sincere]
I did not read your prior ramblings, but I can tell you plenty about marriage where I am from. Of course, to remain pure until the wedding night and to satisfy the parents of both bride and groom, courtship is a dance of intrigue. Since they cannot come too close nor address each other too familiarly, the engaged couple communicates in bouquets with their own meanings, in letters filled with double entendres, in veiled glances.
I suppose if you are not yet betrothed, you can approach in much the same way. Drop a handkerchief doused in your perfume where they will be sure to find it. Perhaps send a bouquet, with forget-me-nots or perhaps even a gardenia if you decide to play coy. Oh, or even a cleome! A cleome and a camellia, such a forceful combination.
[...Hmm.]
Though one of your stature, I suppose you could buy them...a goat?
[How did the commoners court again...?]
no subject
goats are very smelly, and loud, and rather difficult to tame. hmmm. a cow, perhaps? a cow or two would have better value in the market, or in a farm, though the same can be said of a horse. roosters, though! or hens! a pair of them would be a lovely way to start a marriage too!
but - question! how does one prove innocence on the wedding night, where you're from? are there tests?
(no subject)
backdated to me actually remembering to tag things the first time I see them
he hates fun, liquor, and clutter, so that rules out the vasts majority of good courting gifts
does he like candy?
