#to the holiday should be made

[hillbillyoracle]

“Tradition is peer pressure from dead people” will never not read incredibly privileged to me. 

#no thank you #I don't get why so many people feel the need #to add do whatever you want! #on the ends of my posts #this is not that kind of blog #and I'm not sure what made folks think it was #I actually do think #if you're gonna celebrate a holiday #like some effort to tie it #to the holiday should be made #like congrats #you have enough ties to your traditions #to reject them and make stuff up #some of us are painstakingly #trying to reconnect #post family trauma #bleh #not my bag #also this is a pagan blog #I really value dead people #being so dismissive of ancestors ain't it

Levi: What do you want? [Robin shrugged, peering around Levi’s head] Robin: Nothing in particular-.. who’s that, your sister? Levi: Yeah. Robin: Wanna ditch her n’ hang out? Levi: With you? Robin: Uh-huh-.. Jacob and Jude too, his dad’s looking at a house for sale over there. [Levi glanced over his shoulder, grimacing at the prospect of being stuck with Tiffany and her annoying friends] Levi: Fine, whatever. Levi: You know you forgot your shoes, right? Robin: Shoes are overrated-.. I like to feel stuff on my feet. Levi: [scoffs] Weirdo. … Levi: It’s tiny. Jacob: Houses are expensive though, right? Robin: Uh-huh, everything is. Levi: How much do you think this one’s worth? Jacob: Uh-.. ten thousand? Robin: [laughs] Try that times twenty. Jude: Woah. Jacob: How big is your house if this one’s so small then? Bigger than Robin’s? Levi: How should I know?! Robin: It’s kinda big. Levi: If you say so-.. our last house was massive, but we had to move. Jude: Why? Levi: None of your business! Jude: Alright, geez. [Jacob rolled his eyes, wondering why Robin had even gone to the trouble of bringing Levi over] … Jude: Did you get it?! Ivan: It ain’t that quick, bud! We’ll see. Oscar: How you doing, Levi? Levi: Uh, yeah.. I’m great! Robin: Can he come over? Levi: Wai-… Oscar: Sure. Robin: You wouldn’t rather be stuck with your sister all day, would you? [Levi squinted at Robin and his irksome brazenness, but he merely gazed back at him calmly-.. he knew he wasn’t wrong] Jacob: He better not make a habit of inviting Levi to hang out with us all summer. Jude: Maybe he just feels bad for him. He did almost die. Jacob: Only almost.

Here's a completely random ask for you: what holiday (halloween, valentine's day, national ice cream day, etc.) would each member of the Gaang feel unreasonably strongly about? Can be positive or negative feelings.

oh this is a good question! (i hate so many american commercial holidays so this is a great avenue for me to project my frustrations with us capitalism onto these little guys. and to be clear im just doing us holidays bc otherwise there would simply be too many options and i’d be stuck here forever)

aang: he’s not enough of a hater to dislike any holidays. he’s a big fan of april fool’s day, valentine’s day, and halloween, because he appreciates fun and joy and love and merriment duh

katara: every thanksgiving she goes on an impassioned rant about the historical revisionism of the us empire deployed as a propaganda tool as it continues its genocidal imperialist project and the absolutely sick and twisted audacity of americans to celebrate a known lie in a mockery of the atrocities committed from the past into the present (this one may or may not just have been me, yesterday). every november-december she goes on an impassioned rant about the commercialism of christmas, and how it’s largely a fake holiday devised by capitalists to glorify the sanctity of the nuclear family, and how the supposed “secularization” of christmas is in fact a product of christian hegemony, it’s propaganda and you’re all falling for it because you crave hollow comforts in your cold and dismal life, and instead of attempting to look beyond the scraps you are given under capitalism you all just force yourselves to enjoy a facade of happiness and nostalgia because you refuse to admit that you’re fundamentally uncomfortable in your society!!!!!!!! (this is what i think but wisely refrain from saying because it’s not worth it. katara, however...) also she likes valentine’s day sometimes (depending on whether or not she has a boyfriend). she also has a lot to say on columbus day and the fourth of july of course, but this bullet point is already far too long.

sokka: his favorite holiday is pi day. he does not care for any other us holiday (but he has been known to enjoy a halloween here and there), but he specifically hates april fools because aang insists on pranking him every time, for some godforsaken reason. (he’s just so prankable!)

toph: her least favorite holiday is valentine’s day because it promotes m*rriage, one of her most hated institutions (it’s a long list). her favorite day is taco tuesday

zuko: he insists on celebrating shakespeare’s birth/deathday as if it is a real holiday that anyone actually cares about. and he gets offended when no one else cares. his least favorite holiday is the fourth of july, but not for any political reasons, it just has really bad vibes.

suki: she loves halloween because it has everything you could ever ask for in a single day: dressing in elaborate costume, eating so much candy, and getting really drunk. she’s also one of those people who gets really obnoxious on 4/20, at which point mai is like “you know it’s hitler’s birthday, right?” and immediately kills the vibe. just because she can :)

mai: she has a love/hate relationship with halloween, because theoretically it’s a celebration of the gothic, the liminal, the macabre, the ghostly. but in practice it’s just an excuse for everyone around her to get wasted. she hates christmas more though. santa freaks her out and cloying, forced cheer and merriment is unnerving and infuriating, actually.

ty lee: she dreads valentine’s day every year because she simply has too many suitors and it is very stressful. she likes april fool’s day because it gives her the opportunity to exercise her more devious inclinations. she can prank people so well they don’t even know they’re being pranked; on april first the world is her playground.

azula: she has no real opinion on any specific holidays. they’re petty distractions for mindless drones who require a modicum of frivolity here and there to spice up their otherwise dull, worthless lives. however, she quite likes tax day.

#bonus: yue’s favorite holiday is mid autumn festival <3 #lawful-chaos #asks #the gaang and #modern au #sorry for the katara rant in the middle of this post. it was thanksgiving yesterday. im hearing xmas music in stores. i couldn’t help myself #i should make a holiday tag #since a lot of these points are references to other similar posts ive made #okay: #holidays #if u go thru this tag you can find prev posts #instead of having to add bulky links to the post itself lmfao

For the ask game!!

Gem: any or all of 1, 4, 14, 24? :D

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

The diversity! Elf, deer, other hybrids, and now pirate/sea creature, there’s so many interesting angles and aesthetics! Gem is also just super fun to write, whether she’s being sweet, sassy, threatening, anywhere in the Venn Diagram really. Amazingly well rounded character that i want to shake aggressively /aff

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Hmmmmmm, i gotta say, my media knowledge isn’t very broad. But i’mma go with Balder’s Gate 3. I haven’t played it personally, but from what I do know i think Gem would have a fucking blast. I mean, she basically lived playing D&D for a whole server anyways.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Lesbian. Ok but seriously, Gem is already cottagecore’d up to the nines, i think she’d enjoy the occasional flannel, pants with some actually decent sized pockets, and 👏 she 👏 deserves 👏 boots!

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Smiles and explodes- Deltarune: Noelle holiday I mean come on. Yes the deer link is easy, but also, kind, sweet, cute, but scarily powerful and capable of murder? (also very gay) All i’m saying is never ever let these two scheme together, their mutual enemy is doomed for one thousand years.

#hermitcraft #hermitblr #traffic series #trafficblr #geminitay #noelle holiday #ask games #lemon rambles #this was so fun omg!!! #i actually made a post about gem n noelle ages ago #i assigned all the hermits/lifers UT/DR characters #i should see if i can dig the list up #ok bye and thanks spade <3 /p

I love how the tv show is making the gods even BIGGER assholes then previously thought possible and that’s s a y i n g something

Athena quite literally said “you embarrassed me so I’m going to let you die horrifically in my own temple”

Anyway, dethrone Zues 2024 is once again upon us!! Now including dethrone Olympus 2024!! 💃💃✨

#we have reached that time of year once more fellas #dethrone Zues 2024 #it’s my favorite holiday #the gods are dicks #they’d deserve it #we should make an annual week where we chant DETHRONE ZUES until it happens #like I don’t think Kronos should have won because he was worse but also percy should dethrone the gods #HOW COULD ANYONE ANY PARENT DO THAT TO THEIR KID LIKE OH YOU MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE AT WORK SO NOW YOU SHOULD DIE?! #they deserve to be dethroned okay #it kind of proves what Medusa was saying like yes obviously Medusa was a monster she became a monster when she desided to be self righteous #and murder people?!! #but also she was right that the gods are monsters in the end too they have no sense of morality or right and wrong #percy jackson books #percy pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy and annabeth #percy jackson #percy series #pjo disney+ #pjo spoilers #pjo fandom #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo series #pjoverse #athena #goddess athena

overall lantern rite opinions:

cons:

• not enough xiao, upset that the only interactions were them Talking about him doing something cute (kite flying) without actually showing us it, plus another generic fanservice scene with the MC that you can completely miss if you don't seek him out.

• way too many missing liyue characters

• felt unnecessary to include fontaine characters especially considering there were so many missing liyue characters

• you get a xingqiu skin yet there is absolutely no xingqiu in the event. he is completely missing. usually when we get a new skin there's some kind of explanation for it in an event but he's literally completely absent. very very confusing to me

• gaming is a brand new character yet so much of the story focuses on him and expects you to care about his really mundane family drama. i wish it would have focused on other characters that have been previously introduced that i actually care about.

• (more minor nitpick) mountain shaper and moon carver's designs were underwhelming, obviously if a character isn't going to be playable they're Going to look like an npc but they at least could have looked more unique, like fujin for example looked very pretty.

pros:

• i very much enjoyed furina meeting hu tao, a duo i didn't know i wanted. zhongli avoiding neuvillette was a Very funny moment which was worth it, and archons interacting is always a treat. furina being too afraid to walk home alone was very cute, i love my girltwink.

• cloud retainer, everything about her, i love cloud retainer, i love her, she is everything

• the interactions between cloud retainer and her daughters was great, esp shenhe, and it was nice seeing shenhe and ganyu interact.

• everyone falling for the 10 for 50% scam was a great gag

• the kites in general were very cute

• gameplay wise i was very pleased that there wasn't a fighting part like there usually is with events like these. like yknow how there's fun minigames but then they always add one that's just "spend 6 minutes or whatever fighting some guys" and it's super boring? i'm very glad it didn't have one of those

#i think i just get especially butthurt when events specific to one nation have too many characters from a different nation #like lantern rite is Liyue's holiday it's a big one. i want liyue characters #i'm especially sensitive to it after last years windblume which i'm Still mad about i will never not be mad about it #they took an event that's supposed to be about mondstadt and made it all about sumeru characters i was So Mad #ANYWAY overall this wasn't a Bad event i think i'm mostly biased bc of the xiao thing #in my heart this is His holiday. him making and flying a lantern should have been a bigger deal

a celebratory post: i have just experienced the most fruitful writing 24 hours of my entire life. at 3:30am last night, i started a new fic, wrote maybe 3k in the hours before I slept? continued the next evening at 5pm, and since then the document has reached the grand total of... 12.5k words!! :D

#im proud of myself ok <3 #does this mean my writing well will dry up for 5 months after this? maybe. maybe. probably #this fic spawned out of me plucking at my head hairs and being suddenly Struck with inspiration btw. related to the hair yanking #it's surprisingly hard to pull out individual strands of hair when it's short. anyway #we are 3 and a bit chapters in and i'm happy with the pacing too #haven't gone over to edit yet so we'll seeee how that goes #anyway hopefully this sudden motivation carries me through the whole fic. hopefully the whole holidays #do i still have a million WIPs? yes. should i be working on the published WIP that has some very lovely people awaiting new chapters? yes. #is this likely to become yet another unfinished WIP? most definitely! but that's Ok because i am having Fun and that is all that matters #when it hit midnight i was still writing and made sure to add the wordcount to friends words doc #at long last my month-long streak of 0s has been interrupted #yea i also upped my word goal from 7k considering i was at 9k by midnight pdhdf
