what's a festa junina if you don't mind my asking?

i don't mind at all!!!! i love sharing stuff about brazil <3

okay SO. festa junina directly translates to "june party", and are sometimes also referred to as "festas de são juão" (saint john's parties) because we're in brazil and everything has to be related back to religion somehow LMAO. they are festivities that take place in, obv, the entire month of june, although some can last up until like, late august because by god do brazilians love a good party. traditionally, they're held to celebrate the harvest season, rain, and marriage (*cough* which is why it'd be great to celebrate it now with the spiderbit wedding on the horizon *cough*). it's brazil's second-biggest festival, second only to carnival ofc, and has very rural roots in its celebration style due to largely being a harvest/farming based celebration!

so!! festa juninas are typically held in wide open areas and absolutely COVERED in colorful decorations. largely banners, as shown above, but there are also different tents/stalls full of food, games, and other stuff for people to enjoy!! festa junina is kind of heralded as the best time for food/snacks bc it's FULL of sweets and other treats that aren't that common to find en-masse during other times of the year. as shown above, it's also super common for HUGE campfires to be lit (fogueiras) for ppl to dance around and stuff :]

due to being so heavily inspired by/created in rural areas, the standard dress code is very much of a stereotypical rural farmer (called caipira in portuguese!). the standard is for men to adorn straw hats, flannels, and working boots/pants, while women wear their hair in ribboned braids, dot freckles on their faces, and wear rustic dresses on top of it all! the dresses can be EXTREMELY over the top sometimes to the point of camp and i fucking love them so much. genuinely some of my favorite memories are shopping for dresses for festa junina.

as i said, games are a BIG part of it too! a lot of festa juninas are hosted by schools so they need stuff to entertain the kids, but honestly, as a grown adult i still will go to them in a heartbeat. they're largely the typical festival games of ring toss, three-legged races, etc, but i cannot put into words the certain Charm of them. like. by the time festa junina starts it's at least sundown, if not fully night, so all the stands are lit up by the yellow-orange glows of shitty lanterns/fairy lights and. ough. that is my heaven. (fun fact, me and my cousin once won like, a dozen goldfish from one of these. good times.)

and last, but certainly not least, i GOTTA talk about the dancing!!! we call it quadrilha, and it's kind of like square dancing, i guess? it's a very silly and over-the-top dance that's The biggest even of the night. the dance follows the story of a wedding ceremony (rehearsal? i can't recall) which again would be PERFECT for the current events on the smp.

and yeah!! there's a lot of other stuff and they can vary from region to region (i'd love for other brazilians to share things i may have missed :Oc) but overall they're just a HUGE event in brazil and for brazilian communities that really just unite everyone in one huge night (or nights) of partying!!

#muse talk #shortguyswag #I HAD TO REWRITE THIS ENTIRE THIGN BC TUMBLR LOST IT #BUT YEH!!!!! i love festa junina :3 #some of my fondest memories of home r held within the month of june for this very reason #there r so much love in these parties and there is so much love on the qsmp that it is perfect to hold one i think #<- extremely biased

Trigger warnings: suicidal thoughts, self-harm, shouting, tears, blood, derealization. Be safe!

 Tommy grew so guilty that the person he loved like a brother had to reach out to him to call him out for his actions.

 He knew he wasn’t being called out, somewhere in the back of his head, but he was far too deep in his current headspace that he didn’t really know it.

 And he refused to believe he was legitimately struggling.

 So he did what he thought was best. He took the manual pencil sharpener he borrowed from his friend and never gave it back to (yet another thing he yelled at himself for), unscrewed the blade, and he punished himself.

 Or: Tommy has a breakdown and disappears from the world for about a month. Wilbur gets very worried and comes over to check on him, and is horrified at Tommy’s mental state. A long talk ensues.

 Please read trigger warnings! Be safe my friends o7

[relaxxattack]

The fact that the nukes arc is called "The Cold War Arc" is amazing because i remember someone headcanon that tubbo is fluent in Russian and the cold war is something that actually happened between Russian & Usa, I actually researched it because it wasn't actually a war it was called the Cold War because there was no actual fighting, Russia and the United States were just creating and testing nuclear weapons. Doesn't that sound familiar?

Yeah it's actually funny consider that the dream smp likes to drop either anime references, mythology references or history references lmao

uh... as an american, everyone here knows about the cold war. it’s like a thing we all know, and we call all things similar to it cold wars too. so like, it’s not really a reference and just what everyone here automatically calls it? like it’s not actually us being intelligent it’s something we all already knew lol

the russian-speaking tubbo thing is really cool though!

[findingjoynweirdstuff]

Yeah, I guess you’re right, it’s not out of character for him but what he said just feels. I dont know, off for some reason? Creepy. Saying that he knows emotions, implying he can and will manipulate people if he sees fit... reminds me way too much of Dream. and much as I logically know enderboo is still ranboo, a small part of me still wants to deny he’s capable of doing bad things (even tho that’s clearly incorrect with increasing evidence as the number of parallels increase TTwTT )

Fair lmao

The thing about the Dream SMP characters is that they’re all capable of doing bad things. Bad things for good reasons, good things for bad reasons right? And Ranboo’s put a lot of emphasis on his moral system and the inner turmoil that comes with trying to decipher whether what he’s doing is wrong or right. 

I don’t put it past him in the slightest to do (or have done) bad things in the hope that they would result in a greater good for the server.

I mean, the Egg knows everything, and it called him a traitor, which is a pretty bad thing indeed. Someone who could betray the trust of close friends or allies in the pursuit of their own goals...

...which in Ranboo’s case, would be the goal to no longer have sides on the server. No more countries, everyone united as one big family. That is the side that Ranboo chooses: the side of no sides and everyone’s side at the same time. Someone who is loyal to everyone and therefore to no one.

My personal theory(? interpretation?) is that Enderboo’s pretty much just Ranboo but with some different memories. Things you experience shape your perspective, the way you act, what you believe, you know? 

Even if you aren’t fundamentally a different person, recalling an experience you had could still make a difference in what you do. A conversation with someone, a book you’ve written, learning the answer to a question you’ve been asking, skills you’ve learned or picked up, even just extra time you’ve taken to think about your philosophy, etc. 

I think that’s what Enderboo is. Just someone with answers.
