Nuhn must have amazing memory...

I admit, this is something quite light hearted, but I couldn't help but feeling kinda sorry for the nuhn...
My husband has a hard time remembering our wedding anniversary, and he'll remember my birthday like... on the day.

How does a nuhn cope with remembering 50? XD

I'm guessing that somewhere he has a calendar stashed that has each of his females' birthday & anniversary written down on it lol.

Lol :p Well I somehow don't think it's all that important as he's mostly used for breeding. He's more likely having severe issues coping with the feeling that he's just a piece of meat to the ladies.

EDIT: no pun .___.

I think the sun seeker social live is more patriarchy.
So, not the ladies but he determines the time to breed. He show his muscles and the ladies kissing his feet. And the daughters get the fathers first name as surename.

His best bet would to be always have a bunch of Bubble Chocolates on hand, and a bunch of pre-made cards with the words:

Dear ____________________,
Always remember, you're my favorite.

Love,
Your nuhn.


And he just fills in the blank when they ask for their birthday gift/anniversary gift.

I can't help but wonder about the social dynamic in Seeker tribes. Granted, it likely varies tribe to tribe, but is there an overall comfortable relationship and mutual respect between the sexes, or could there be cases proving otherwise...

Would tribal morale plummet if a particularly misogynistic nunh came into rank, or would his behavior be simply accepted in exchange for his top-notch genetics?

Interesting point. How loyal are the females to their nunh? If one came into rank that was like that, would they be willing to assist an opponent into defeating him?

I'm guessing if the nuhn showed an overall disrespect for the females of his clan, he wouldn't be nuhn for long. Afterall:

Since being a Nuhn doesn't necessarily equate to being a leader, but a Sun Seeker tribe is more or less patriarchal, does that mean a Tia runs the show? Or maybe it's more of a decentralized "we all pitch in for the good of the tribe" situation.

I took it to mean that the power side of things is still a bit matriarchal even if offspring and naming conventions is patriarchal. It would seem silly to have the most powerful male (the nunh) *not* be the leader if males still held the power. Otherwise why wouldn't the leading tia be a nunh in his own right?? (Since there can be more than one nunh in a tribe, it seems)

I get the impression that the nuhn are in that position because they are the strongest and therefore the best for breeding a strong race. But if one was abusive to the tribe, would they be cast out by the tribe, or because they still were the best for breeding would that be tolerated in the name of what's best for the future generations of the tribe?

I don't know, I think a separation of leadership duties and breeding is a good idea. If you mix the two, you get the chance of some tyrannical shenanigans. I wanted to draw a comparison to what Gilgamesh did to his people, but I guess he just abused his position as king to sleep with everyone's wife.

Different societal structure though, I realise that. I just don't think it's that far-fetched for a Tia to be in charge. Then again, it's more likely that it's run by the women.

Going to be honest, the males in Keeper of the Moon tribes almost seem like slaves, or even genetic dispensers.

"Hey, Lhani, where are you off to?"

"Oh, just running errands. A quick trip to the Delivery Moogle, then I'm going to stop by the breeding male - you know, nothing special."

"Oh, fun! Have a good one!"

Well first off, I wasn't referring to whether or not the nunh is running the show or not. The fact remains that, leader or not, a nunh stands as an influential, status-holding entity within his tribe. He may not make political or economic decisions for his people, but his position is still one sought after and held with respect. Does tribal consensus (e.g. "This guy's being a douche") hold sway over tribal decree(e.g. "Doesn't matter, he earned his title fair and square." dealwithit.jpg)?
CAN the tribe, its tia leader(s)/council, or anyone else circumvent the established law that nunhs are stripped of rank only through physical competition with other males?

Firstly, the most physically powerful/talented male may very well be a piss poor head of his community, especially in cases where one's central motivations might center on more primal urges. Generally speaking, of course. I'm sure there are exceptions to all of this.
Secondly, Nunh vs. Tia is only relevant in terms of "who's makin' babies?", not, "Who's the master?"

Could be worse. They could keep the breeding male lobotomized and hidden away in a cave.

ohgod Shinsekai Yori: Kitty Edition

Sorry for the delay in my reply, some really awesome (and some comical) points brought up XD Thanks so much for the giggles!

Totally loving the idea of Personalized bubble chocolates, as for nuhn slaves... there's a lot worse ways to spend one's time, maybe they're secretly into that kind of thing haha though the Lobotomy thing scared me a bit, I can just picture a vegetable nuhn in the back of a cave, drooling lol ;;

Looking forward to hearing more ideas from you guys!

i bet somewhere down the line the nuhn must get tired..you know from all the fighting and breeding and dapper changing and..(rambles on and on)

Pshaw, what nunh would sully his hands with changing diapers? My name is Buck, and I'm here to f—

I suppose as long as they're fed and have enough space to turn around in their cage, PeTA can't complain too much.

I think it work with any other animal like the lion. He there making sure no other males would take his girls from him lol. Then he just breed with every girl under him then i'm guessing to there a strong enough male born in his family. To fight him for the rights of breeding he can just leave and try on his own or just stay.

So it's somewhat like how it works with most animal like the lion.
