EAH Holidays: The Shapeshifter Festival
I’ve been working on some certain kinds of lore stuff lately, mainly holidays, and I decided I’m gonna make some posts for some of those holidays! The first one is a post on an autumn holiday (like Halloween but also not at all like Halloween). The Shapeshifter Festival!
The Shapeshifter Festival is a six day "week" in which communities will hold large festivals, each day with a different major festivity. 
On the first day, there will usually be a kickoff ceremony and performance, and each varies from place to place, but they often have a speech at some point. Then everyone just parties, but like it's a backyard barbecue (a surprising number of shapeshifter cultures love barbecues). 
On the second day, there are lots of different plays and such that often tell stories from different shapeshifter cultures or at least parts of their history. Everyone loves these, even if they've seen some of the shows many times over. 
On the third day, shapeshifter activist groups will hold events to help with shapeshifter rights, whether it be for those in their own town, or those in other nations. They will do things to raise awareness for certain issues as well, whether it be shapeshifter discrimination or the destruction of native shapeshifter lands (such as wolf-folk habitats, which have been in danger recently). 
On the fourth day, shapeshifters will set up stalls showing off different parts of their cultures as well as promote their personal businesses if they own any. It's like the shops at a Renaissance fair, but it's for shapeshifter themed stuff with shapeshifter owned businesses. 
The fifth day is one of the best days for everyone: the food fest, which is a bit like the fourth day, but can involve anyone and is solely focused on food. It's amazing, and in the evening, there's a scavanger hunt! You know, for fun. 
And finally, the last day of the festival, there is a giant parade, known for their colorful costumes, beautiful music, and elaborate dance performances. These parades outwardly appear somewhat similar to the real world carnivals in Rio, but they have different purposes. 
Many of the costumes are reminiscent of different shapeshifter, but with a more abstract form. All these performers are actual shapeshifters who are dressing in their own alternate forms, though some will actually come in their alternate forms wearing outfits that exaggerate their features. Some will occasionally shift back and forth between forms depending on the dance and whether or not they have multiple forms. 
These parades are generally designed to show the beauty of shapeshifters and shapeshifter culture, and be a form of solidarity. One of the other most major features of this is the fact that everyone attending the parade will dress up like something or someone they are not (without culturally appropriating anything, obviously), so basically a Halloween costume. 
That is the final day of the Shapeshifter Festival, not counting the other festivities that certain specific locations have, like the city of Von, which has a mascarade ball in the palace, or villages on the outskirts of Ever After, which have basically Halloween, or some cities in Aldwenhurts which, instead of a parade, have children and teens run across the rooftops at night, singing songs and playing (before they all start howling at the moon at midnight). 
The day after all festivities are over, people will help clean everything up.

Noelle and Berdly fall into the Dark World (with sound!) 📟 This one ended up looking like a trailer of sorts, hope you all enjoy! Heavily inspired by Holosynth's video, which you can watch right here!
Berdly and Noelle renders again (making these was the reason why I wanted to give them a proper animation):

Shana Tova! Happy New Year!
Shana Tova! Happy New Year!
Shana Tova! Happy New Year! The New Year 5783 since the creation of the world (according to Rabbi Jose ben Halafta’s incorrect calculations) is just around the corner. In a little over three months, we will also celebrate the Gregorian New Year of 2023 since the birth of Christ (according to Dionysius Exiguus’ incorrect calculations). The time between these two New Years is what I call the…

i wanna read about steve falling for eddie in the fall
steve can't help but stare as eddie starts wearing softer, cozier clothes. still mostly black, but more and more colors slip into eddie's wardrobe as it gets cooler and cooler outside.
maybe it starts with a olive green henley. eddie is wearing boots instead of his white sneakers. blue jeans with no holes. sure, he's still got the leather jacket and the rings but this is new. then its a soft orange sweater with a plaid scarf. makes his eyes pop and his skin glow. steve cannot look away.
eddie also starts to wear his hair up in a messy bun with soft tendrils falling around his face. eddie is just so soft and lovely even with his rough edges.
steve would be in crisis because eddie's become his best guy friend since the whole vecna situation. the feelings bubbling up in him aren't platonic. they're confusing but strong and relentless. steve wants to touch eddie and hold his hand as they walk down main street. keep him warm whenever he complains about being cold. wants to take a strand of his soft hair and put it behind his ear. pull him by his scarf and kiss-
yeah, steve wants to kiss his friend who is a guy. god does he want.
imagine everyone doing fall activities and steve is just miserably pining.
the harvest festival that's usually fun is just torture. eddie laughing next to steve on a hayride. eddie's face light up by twinkling lights while they sip hot cider. eddie laughing while he runs through a maze with the younger teens. the chill of the air makes his cheeks rosy and god, steve wants to press into eddie. nuzzle against him.
maybe by christmas steve realizes that eddie watches steve just as much. that for once, his love is reciprocated fully.
