Support can make a huge difference when someone is hitting a rough patch. Why wait until then to let your friends know you'll be there? Take a stand for Mental Health Awareness and tag someone you care about to let them know you have their back. ‪

Do saratoans associate the shades of ashy brown that are natural to their species' skin under the magical pigmentation with death? Sorry for the kinda morbid question, I was just thinking about how controversial open-casket funerals are in some cultures (as one does) and your guys crossed my mind in context with that.
Not generally - it's considered an inappropriate color for say, a saratoan dolly, since that makes it look like a corpse, but shades of gray and taupe are popular for clothes where it's just judged to be a nice neutral tone that their bright skin colors pop against.
It takes a bit more effort to choose accessories that read as symbolic of death to them. Their funeral rites are themed around the color the deceased was in life, mourners bring items of the same color to place by the body, creating a cluttered collection of items of the same color
Tumblr media
The symbolism of death is a little more individualized as a result. The color of "goth" for Saratoans is just whatever color they are + excessive clutter
Tumblr media
Dressing like this is ironically considered off putting by younger adults and is accepted more warmly by elders rather than being a way to shock and rebel against elder generations.
Elders generally read an outfit like this as "funeral director" which is a role not considered totally necessary to the management of rites, but are a welcome relief to overworked household leaders to have someone experienced available to support them.

I'm so utterly & so completely obsessed with you, my lighthouse,
always searching, yet never finding, to seek is to remain hopeful:
beneath the fragments, the chalice of trust dwells much deeper,
& the loyalty I have for you is something so pathetically single;
am I good enough for you to stick by through the rainstorms?

Is there any special significance or traditions centered around the kinda of objects cluttered around the body at a saratoan funeral? Or is it soley based on color?
It’s such a cool funerary tradition to have, and it makes perfect sense for the species!
Most of the time, items around the body are things that were collected by friends and family during their loved one's life, just things they held onto because it reminded them of someone they like. So sometimes it's just color but other times it's color plus some other feature ("look at this mug, it's happy and yellow just like you")
Some believe it's a part of the process to let go of these things along with letting go of the deceased - though others retrieve their keepsakes at the end of the funeral.
The house leader and those who are less close tend toward items humans would find more traditional, like flowers and plush toys, but also candy and food is common. The thought there is to give them things they'd have liked in life but still themed to their color.
Professional funeral directors keep collections of random items of various colors to help fill out the spread and make it look better/fuller without rearranging where mourners placed things - they tend to prefer items that won't draw attention away from the odd, sometimes funny, items mourners brought which will serve as much needed conversation starters. They aim for their offerings to be small, unobtrusive and easy to overlook. They are generally the source of things like loose buttons, beads, and ribbons.
