Will Tarasu ever get to marry her British man, Mr. Smith and finally have a happy marriage?

>>159480859

They're going to get together at the very end and have like 15 children once Smith takes her back to England and her mother-in-law passes away

>>159481348
How is she going to adapt to life in England? It'd be like dropping a medieval peasant into modern day NYC.

>>159481421
Because manga and Tarasu has said she wanted to travel while her mother-in-law asked Smith to take her away with him. I'll bet it'll be like a deathbed request and he accepts.

Plus it's not like Smith dislikes her. He said he found her attractive and may possibly have feelings for her given how much he thought about it

If they moved to a rural village it wouldnt be that traumatic. Yeah things would be different but it wouldnt be 1/10th as bad as moving to London. Still there would be huge cultural differences, language etc., but it's not like she'd be losing a vibrant social life.

IIRC it said that many of the marriages didn't last more than a few months, but I can assume that she didn't really do anything meaningful otherwise she would've gotten pregnant. It was a prerogative to get pregnant almost instantly after marriage once you hit the age.

So yeah, she might have done a few things here and there, but I don't know about full on sex with some of her husbands since she apparently is still childless.

Shame she has to wear the turban though. She's absolutely gorgeous without it. I wonder why women in the Steppes wear turbans and are ashamed of showing their hair.

No it's not like dropping a midieval peasant into modern day England. People did it all the time back then, especially as Empires' borders grew and grew. I mean if Pocahontas can fucking do it.

Look at it this way. What is today southern Nigeria, the Igbo are among animist, bumfuck tribes that become protectorates of Britain. Learn things. Mission schools, or other schooling. Empire wide resources and people sort of come in. Flash forward some years, and a young Mr Ojukuwu invests all the resources he has in this world into a truck.

From there he builds a vast, country and continent wide trucking empire and becomes one of Africa's first millionaires.

And then his son joins the military, and becomes eventually the reluctant, legendary war hero and leader of the Biafrans in their war of survival against genocidal Nigeria.

I mean it's one example. Not all stories are illustrious, but bush people with barely a concept of the wheel can be crash coursed into modernism fast, even if superficially at times. Central Asians weren't THAT many centuries behind. She could fit in fine

>>159483283
Actually the opposite is true. In the city, she'd just be one among a huge many in the crowd. That's why sections of the big cities like London HAD sections - the Hugenot quarters, entire multitude of the West End, etc. Rural village life, by contrast, very few opportunities to escape, or do your own thing. Don't get me wrong, robust support network, but there will be very few people who don't know you. That can be a bad thing, as well as good.

Why is it that in so many of these poorer countries, the girls are pretty but the men are ugly?

>>159489197
Just features anon. Like the guy is no brad pitt but you see pretty ugly guys everywhere in the main. That guy aint so bad and his girlfriend certainly seems to like him.

>>159489197
It's not that there are more ugly or pretty men or women, it's just that you tend to see prettier women with uglier men women don't have the luxury to marry someone who doesn't bring home good money since they themselves don't have as many opportunities as a woman in a richer country would. This is compounded with the fact that men's success in poor countries is not correlated with their looks (these kinds of countries tend to have fewer jobs for male models or actors or even white collar jobs where looks could get you ahead).

>>159489197
Depending on the country, it may be that male mortality is higher there, leading to a gender imbalance. For example in Russia there's something like 15-20% more women than men. I haven't looked it up, but it's probably similar in other ex-Soviet countries.

>>159489197
To add on the women. I do think the lack of modern makeup and diet helps a lot on top of the much lower consumption alcohol, drug and smoking. In many cases none. Modern women do this a lot and it takes its toll on them extremely quickly so they "age" quicker and worse.

In poorer countries the girls age more smoothly due to not destroying their bodies from a young age or their skin through pounds of makeup.

Hell even compare some far east asian girls. Some drink and smoke etc but yopu can find a fair few who dont. Traditionally they are seen as ageing better due to genetics but I think its more to do with life style.

>>159480337
fuck no

>>159489671
Sun exposure has more to do with aging than any of the things you've mentioned. I don't see how modern makeup would destroy your skin. Poorly applied foundation may look ugly, but it isn't exactly bad for you.
I agree that diet and drug abuse can age you horribly, though.

>>159489867
Destroy was a bit strong but it can damage it. Essentially it clogs up pores which stops the skin from releasing its natural oil which makes it deteriorate in quality over time. Not all but a fair amount can. Its why some wopmen, drink and drugs aside, sometimes completely crash looks wise.

>>159487634
She seemed to live quite isolated though, and with a domineering stepfather. I doubt she has many friends to leave behind. Depending on whether Smith has friends and family out in the country she might do fine there, and might actually have useful household skills.

It's so bizarre to think this area became a soviet satellite state 30-50 years after the story is set.

>>159489968
Sure, if you buy the cheapest foundation from the dollar store clearance rack, and don't wash it off properly, it'll clog your pores. But if you buy good foundation, and wash it off properly at night, you'll be fine. And it can act as a barrier from unclean air, and a lot of foundations have sunscreen in them, too.
Many stores are getting aggressive about selling skincare routines, which means that most girls that are into makeup are also obsessive about washing, moisturizing, using anti-aging stuff, etc.

>>159490108
And that the people who live there mostly speak Russian.
I wonder if they get depressed that they have to live in modern times, rather than living like their ancestors hundreds of years ago.

Uzbek wasn't a satellite state dummy. It was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union. And before that, it was a core province of the Russian Empire.

Actually, Uzbekistan was the worlds largest exporter of cotton for a time, but then they couldn't keep it up as well, but it's still sizeable (5% of the world production), so the Soviet plan worked. They also use the water for growing crops and a quarter of the GDP comes from agriculture.

There's no way Uzbekistan would gain anything by restoring the South Aral Sea and they have no desire to do so.

>path to sea to make maritime trade
Aral's completely inland, not connected to anything. There's a large chance that it would evaporate eventually anyway, if climate changes enough (and not much change is required for endorheic basins to dry up).

Well, English was obligatory in Soviet schools, at least during the 80s. Former Soviet republics have an education system that is built on top of Soviet remains.

The income from that would be nothing compared to what they get from the area now.

Aside from using all the water for crops that account for large part of the GDP and also their own food, the dried up South Aral sea gives them easy access to oil and gas fields located there, so they get a lot of money that way.

The North Aral Sea has been somewhat restored by Kazakhstan, but right now there is no chance whatsoever that the South Aral Sea will be restored.

Basically genetics. If the society values virile men or "rude" traits, over beautiful men or "gentle" traits, those genes will prevail, in the end. That's pretty much the norm, or at least it was before globalization, with only a few exceptions, like the Wodaabe tribe. In that culture the women are the only ones who can pick who will be their partners and they literally pick the most beautiful men, thus promoting that trait over everything else.

>>159493525
>Here the young Wodaabe men, with elaborate make-up, feathers and other adornments, perform the Yaake: dances and songs to impress marriageable women. The male beauty ideal of the Wodaabe stresses tallness, white eyes and teeth; the men will often roll their eyes and show their teeth to emphasize these characteristics. Wodaabe clans then join for the remainder of the week-long Gerewol: a series of barters over marriage and contests where the young men's beauty and skills are judged by young women.

Why is Islam so fucking gay? And not in the mildly taboo way, but creepy predatory way that makes you think Hitler was right and probably would've reversed his opinion on Islam had he known enough about how lassiez faire it is with it's tenets and beliefs.

>>159497950
Nomadic people are not as idyllic as presented. They are can be assholes who would have small clan skirmishes a lot until someone either took control of the region or enough factions get large enough for actual war. Islam really didn't do a lot to unite them because Islam is more like Protestant Christianity then Catholicism or Eastern Orthodox. It's mostly dominated by tribal and cultural beliefs weaved into whomever teaches them Islam. Most of the time it would be someone with connections to either a leader, wife of someone important, trader, or what would be called an ambassador. The caliphate would usually just send people out with a book saying convert or die, be subject to jizya, or be isolated. Less trouble then waging war on small nomadic tribes. Eventually people convert out of belief, annoyance, or benefits like support in ending the guys who won't convert and have been your rivals for centuries. So your culture can survive unassimilated unlike Catholics or Orthodox which would absorb cultures and leave only traces of the culture in itself in the forms of feast days and newly annointed saints.

Most steppe people can have some weird beliefs due to the tacking on of the more cultural Islam. I'm not very well educated, but I do know of some people from the Middle East who traveled there before settling in Michigan or their grandparents and other ancestors knew them. The manga is more focusing on the good and interesting parts because generally these people are very interesting.

It's not lassiez faire in it's beliefs. As Christopher Caldwell put it I think, Islam only seems as such to Christian civilizations because Islam is only half opposed to the paganism that remained, and arguably, remains Christianity's greatest opponent - not totally, as Christian civilization was.

Hitler knew about Islam. It fit with the ethos of the new paganism that Nazism was attempting to bring into being. It was a strong cultural and belief system, and remains thus.

Why're their borders so fucked up?

>>159509093
Isn't it because the Russians actually separated the countries by ethnicity, rather than just drawing up some squares and calling it a day?

>>159509194
so this is the extreme opposite of what happened in the Middle East?

>>159486688
now I'm wondering, if their ethnicity is different and not just their nationality, wouldn't marrying someone out of your clan be racemixing? I doubt they would want something like that in their tribes. I'm not trying to bring /pol/ in this comfy thread, I'm just asking.

>>159509613
It's okay if you give the other clan a few goats.

>>159509613
I dare say that the concept of 'race mixing' is not really known in central asia.We're talking about people with very complicated ethnic lines here:
In Europe you usually have German farmers, city dwellers and nobles on one side of a river and on the otehr side everyone is French. Though even in europe you used to have more difficult situations like Galicia-Lodomeria which had a mostly Polish nobility and a Ukranian peasantry. In any case it was usually not a problem to mary among your social 'caste' disregarding ethnicity, but disregarding social status an absolute taboo.

I would think you have a similar thing in central asia but with more complicated ethnic lines. For example nomands might be Turkic while farmers are Iranian, yet they intermingle because of mutual dependancy. Additionally a lot of people would speak (or at least have passing knowldge of) different languages, I'd imagine the lingua franca to be arab, thus diminishing 'ethnic lines' even more.

You're just making middle eastern women that blush, smirk, and glare angerly a fetish.

Stop it.

>>159509613
Women were just property to be bought, sold and stolen. It wouldn't have really mattered where you got your wife from, as the children were defined by their father alone and would thus be part of your group.
Besides, they all look pretty similar anyway.

>>159509093
If I had to guess they used natural borders like mountains, and river ways. Except those border's feature change with time. Especially if rivers dry up.

I don't think he has anything to do with that, besides I think "spoiled brat" wasn't the proper term, more like she was too shallow. Even she thought of her "sister" as some kind of pet or possession she wanted to have, not even like a person.

>>159509600
The brits were lazy so yeah

I can critize and still do about how Russians treated the ethnic locals of their side of the valley but they at least were able to calm most of the locals down by letting them be ruled by their own(despite being a puppet in the end) rather than having a extreme minority rule over the majority and other minorities

>>159520142

Aren't Central Asians basically just Middle Eastern Mongols though?

>>159527056
No, they are Central Asian Turkic people, and Iranian (the Tajiks). If by Mongols you mean nomadic people, yes, but they are ethnically, linguistically, and culturally different peoples. The same can be same in regards to Middle Eastern people. Turks have nothing in common (as far as I can tell) with Bedouins or Assyrians, beside an shared story of invasion, plundered, rape, and ruined cities.

Interestingly enough, there is a bunch of Dungan or Hui (Chinese Muslims) there, and apparently the Turks slave raiders couldn't be bothered to make the distinction between Han and Hui.

Do you guys know about falconry?
Falcons raised into captivity sexually imprint on their falconers and aren't attracted to other falcons. So in order to breed them, the falconer has to do a mock mating ritual that ends in the male falcon ejaculating on the head of the falconer, while the falconer is wearing a special head to catch the semen. The falconer then proceeds to do another ritual with the female falcon.

>Life expectancy differs from maximum life span. Life expectancy is an average[110] that is computed over all people including those who die shortly after birth, those who die in early adulthood in childbirth or in wars, and those who live unimpeded until old age, and lifespan is an individual-specific concept and maximum lifespan is an upper bound rather than an average.
>However, these two terms are often confused with each other to the point that when people hear "life expectancy was 35 years" they often interpret this as meaning that people of that time or place had short maximum life spans.[111] One such example can be seen in the In Search of... episode "The Man Who Would Not Die" (About Count of St. Germain) where it is stated "Evidence recently discovered in the British Museum indicates that St. Germain may have well been the long lost third son of Rákóczi born in Transylvania in 1694. If he died in Germany in 1784, he lived 90 years. The average life expectancy in the 18th century was 35 years. Fifty was a ripe old age. Ninety... was forever."
>In reality, there are other examples of people living significantly longer than the life expectancy of their time period, such as Socrates, Saint Anthony, Michelangelo, and Ben Franklin.[112]
>It can be argued that it is better to compare life expectancy of the period after childhood to get a better handle on life span.[113] Life expectancy can change dramatically after childhood, as is demonstrated by the Roman Life Expectancy table in which at birth, the life expectancy was 21, but by the age of 5, it jumped to 42. Studies like Plymouth Plantation; "Dead at Forty" and Life Expectancy by Age, 1850–2004 similarly show a dramatic increase in life expectancy once adulthood was reached.
