Winxtober Day Twenty-Eight: Chaos

Every time I draw Dark Bloom, or more accurately Corrupted Bloom, she gets cuter!!

Everyday I lean harder into the themes of childhood in her character, she is having fun plus playing!! Ignore the desperate attempts to cling to the Faries of her childhood

Shes having a main character moment ft Timmy's leg!!! She IS going to use him as a weapon, literally hitting the winx with him because she's in a silly goofy mood

Fairies in my ever after high headcannon

fairies skin color and features depend on the temperature it is while being formed, like baby alligators. So the hotter it is, the lighter the skin tone. The colder it is the darker they are. (To attract sunlight) so historically (my hc) good fries are dark and dark fairies are light. (Which sounds hypocritical, but I don't care 😍)

But since global warming fairies skin tones are now becoming very middle tone.

In my headcannon Ashlynn Ella lives in a very cold place, the majority of the good fairies live near that area or even under her rule. So this makes a lot of the faires very dark so they can absorb the sunlight since it's so cold. They wear a lot of transparent, sparkly dark clothes.

Alot of dark fairies live in a sandy, beachy areas with high heat averages, the majority live near briar and Rosabella's kingdoms. They are usually very light to deflect heat, and they wear a lot of loose rags to wick away sand, and in case they get wet they can just take it off a layer.

Thousands of years ago good fairies and dark fairies had a massive war, the families all obviously chose the good fairies but this led to the dark fairies causing generational curses on the families.

The more a family would help the more good fairies would help their families. (Like cedars family and the blue fairy)

The good fairies make all the royals : people with important stories, all eah alumni more fertile at one time with a special plant. So you're SURE to have a kid during that time but it's not impossible to have kids outside of this time frame.

If you're abstinent/ a fairy will put a baby at your doorstep.

The rapunzel story started because someone ate THAT PLANT out of a dark fairies garden, and if you create a baby with that magical plant but its from.a dark fairy instead of good fairy, the baby now belongs to that fairy. I would also like to tie in rumplestilskin who would be a warlock and that's why he wants the baby.

Okayyy Im done💜💜💜

Mark looked puzzled. “Drugs?”

“Chocolate,” Emma said. “I brought chocolate.”

Learned the pretty way to draw eyes and so I gave Lucien a flower crown

Who’s the pretty princess? Lucien is! (He has assassinated many targets and possibly committed tax evasion)

The real reason why the Dark Brotherhood is illegal is cause they refuse to pay taxes. Jkjkjk

Based on my ruined Skyrim playthrough

The thing with the Mari Lwyd, though, is that it's being... I don't know, 'appropriated' is the wrong word, but certainly turned into something it isn't.

Thing is, this is a folk tradition in the Welsh language, and that's the most important aspect of it. I feel partly responsible for this, because I accidentally became a bit of an expert on the topic of the Mari Lwyd in a post that escaped Tumblr containment, and I clearly didn't stress it strongly enough there (in my defence, I wrote that post for ten likes and some attention); but this is a Welsh language tradition, conducted in Welsh, using Welsh language poetic forms that are older than the entire English language, and also a very specific sung melody (with a very specific first verse; that's Cân y Fari). It is not actually a 'rap battle'. It's not a recited poem. It is not any old rhyme scheme however you want.

It is not in English.

Given the extensive and frankly ongoing attempts by England to wipe out Welsh, and its attendant cultural traditions, the Mari is being revived across Wales as an act of linguistic-cultural defiance. She's a symbol of Welsh language culture, specifically; an icon to remind that we are a distinct people, with our own culture and traditions, and in spite of everyone and everything, we're still here. Separating her from that by removing the Welsh is, to put it mildly, wildly disrespectful.

...but it IS what I'm increasingly seeing, both online and in real world Mari Lwyd festivals. She's gained enormous pop-culture popularity in recent years, which is fantastic; but she's also been reduced from the tradition to just an aesthetic now.

So many people are talking/drawing about her as though she's a cryptid or a mythological figure, rather than the folk practice of shoving a skull on a stick and pretending to be a naughty horse for cheese and drunken larks. And I get it! It's an intriguing visual! Some of the artwork is great! But this is not what she is. She's not a Krampus equivalent for your Dark Christmas aesthetic.

I see people writing their own version of the pwnco (though never called the pwnco; almost always called some variant on 'Mari Lwyd rap battle'), and as fun as these are, they are never even written in the meter and poetic rules of Cân y Fari, much less in Welsh, and they never conclude with the promise to behave before letting the Mari into the house. The pwnco is the central part to the tradition; this is the Welsh language part, the bit that's important and matters.

Mari Lwyd festivals are increasingly just English wassail festivals with a Mari or two present. The Swansea one last weekend didn't even include a Mari trying to break into a building (insert Shrek meme); there was no pwnco at all. Even in the Chepstow ones, they didn't do actual Cân y Fari; just a couple of recited verses. Instead, the Maris are just an aesthetic, a way to make it look a bit more Welsh, without having to commit to the unfashionable inconvenience of actually including Welsh.

And I don't really know what the answers are to these. I can tell you what I'd like - I'd like art to include the Welsh somewhere, maybe incorporating the first line of Cân y Fari like this one did, to keep it connected to the actual Welsh tradition (or other Welsh, if other phrases are preferred). I'd like people who want to write their version of the pwnco to respect the actual tradition of it by using Cân y Fari's meter and rhyme scheme, finishing with the promise to behave, and actually calling it the pwnco rather than a rap battle (and preferably in Welsh, though I do understand that's not always possible lol). I'd like to see the festivals actually observe the tradition, and include a link on the booking website to an audio clip of Cân y Fari and the words to the first verse, so attendees who want to can learn it ahead of time. I don't know how feasible any of that is, of course! But that's what I'd like to see.

I don't know. This is rambly. But it's something I've been thinking about - and increasingly nettled by - for a while. There's was something so affirming and wonderful at first about seeing the Mari's climb into international recognition, but it's very much turned to dismay by now, because she's important to my endangered culture and yet that's the part that everyone apparently wants to drop for being too awkward and ruining the aesthetic. It's very frustrating.
