I had a dream there was like Twitter discourse about women being plus sized and how people think fat girls are gross for some reason (they are not) and there was a really popular thread that was just this:
"If your girl doesn't gain 20 pounds for the winter at least she has no survival instincts"
"That's actually disgusting and fucking horrifying why the fuck would anyone want to gain 20 pounds that quick especially a woman that's fucking gross"
"I need my girl mammalmaxxing"

Day one of @pupytrail’s event: edit a character that’s part of the lgbtq+ or edit a character with black hair
First time joining an event kinda anxious… i feel like it’s too simple, it will get better on the next entries i promise >:3
Why did i chose her out of any character? 1- when i finally was able to play undertale by myself she became my top 1 fav bc of her being painfully relatable to me TwT 2- she is still underrated/misinterpretated 3- undertale representation is SO GOOD

some stuff about the practice of ancestor veneration in velothi households
when a baby is born a grandparent or parent anoints it with ash from the hearth and introduces it to the house spirits by showing it to the waiting-door. the family member presenting the baby might also ask a particular spirit to serve as the baby's cardehn (ancestor-guardian); that ancestor is then expected to keep a close eye on the baby throughout its life and offer guidance, counsel, or protection when needed
on the other hand many families hold off on petitioning a specific ancestor to act as a newborn's cardehn so that the baby is free to choose for itself once it's old enough to decide. many children without an appointed cardehn wait until the passing of a close loved one (usually a family elder) and choose them
after your family's patron god and any very prominent or recently-deceased ancestors your cardehn is the first household spirit whom you're expected to invoke in prayer. when you're old enough you're also expected to take charge of the family's veneration of that particular ancestor by burning routine offerings for them
when a member of the household is dying a simple meal is set out in the room in which they're being tended; after the family member passes on their caretakers and any others who kept vigil at the deathbed eat half of the meal they'd prepared. the other half is burnt as an offering for the spirit or spirits who came to help the deceased "through the fire" (fire, particularly one's hearthfire, being considered a passage between the realms of life and death in the velothi consciousness)
when mourning a loved one it's customary in some families to cut off a lock of your hair and burn it as an offering in addition to the usual offerings of food. cutting and burning all of one's hair is a wild expression of grief that's usually only performed by people who have lost a loved one unexpectedly or parents who have lost a child
