#nightly thoughts

I am trying to sleep, but I can't because my mind is stuck on one question:

Are Mandalorians a shoes on or shoes off culture when they are at someone's/their home?

Let me elaborate. As you probably know, in some cultures, you take off your outdoor shoes once you enter a private living space (not a store, or public building, etc.). In others, you seem to commonly keep your shoes on. And in some, it seems to be more of a case-by-case thing.

But what do Mandalorians do?

Boots do belong to beskar'gam, and beskar'gam is very important, culturally. The mental image of people hanging out in full armour but in socks is a bit weird, too. And in case something happens, you want to be ready and not have an entire aliit hurry to put boots on, right?

But then again, that somehow does not feel right. I cannot put my finger on why, though. I guess it might be both my own background as a firm 'no shoes in homes' person, but also the fact that, doing what they do, their boots would probably be rather dirty. Like, imagine the dirt you'd bring back in with you. Just as if you went hiking and came in with your dirty shoes. So, from that angle, it might make sense for them to actually take off their shoes.

The worst thing is, it is not even relevant. I am not working on any fic, or picture, or whatever I would need that information for. It is just a random thing my brain decided to latch on. And since I can't decide on what makes more sense:

Which one do you think is it? What makes more sense considering Mandalorian culture? Are there maybe even snippets of text that I can't remember that support either one or the other? Any thoughts, anyone?

Whenever I say goodbye to someone, there's always a part of me hoping we end up with each other in another timeline. It burns a hole in my heart to pass someone that had deeply cherished me only to find out that in this life, we are not meant to last.

You know what...Gamma Jack gives me little spoon vibes. Your telling me he isn't the little spoon!?

I know he wants to be spooned and wrapped up like a burrito!! He needs to be pampered, also loves having his hair played, be snuggled to death!! (This is me...I love all of that...)

I'm already getting cuteness aggression just thinking about it, but yeah Jack is little spoon!! Take it or leave it, that man will always beg to be the little spoon. He could be big spoon but he'll always prefer to be the little spoon.

Gamma Jack the needs to be squeezed and snuggled with...Like toothpaste.

It's the middle of the night and I am, again, just thinking about how sad it makes me that modern rhymed poetry is kind of considered "silly" or "unserious" and therefore not treated as equal to modern-style more abstract poetry nowadays. Strict rhymed verse once was the pinnacle of poetry (and those old poems are still considered to be legendary and great), and while I do like the fact that other forms of poetry have come to be accepted by society, it just makes me really sad and almost angry that, when poets like me write rhymed poetry today, it is seen as "playful", even when it is about the most serious topics.
