Karavaki - Christmas Boats
Greece has always been a seafaring nation, especially when you look at the islands. The sailors worked hard and were at sea for long periods of time, while the women waited on the Greek islands for the return of their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. The return of loved ones was a cause for celebration, and the women decorated small wooden boats that were placed in front of the door with a small lantern next to it. This was a special way of saying "welcome home" and that since medieval times.
A Karavaki (small boat) next to Christmas trees (x)
The decorating of boats spread throughout much of the country and became a custom during the holidays during the 17th and 18th centuries. The wooden boats were decorated with lights and ornaments and were placed near a door or fireplace with the bow of the Christmas boat facing inwards. This symbolised the successful journey to the mainland. Sometimes coins or gold objects were placed in the boat, symbolising the wealth of a household. Children also went door to door with these wooden boats, happily singing Greek Christmas carols. While they sang, neighbours would put small treats like sweets or candies in the boats.

thinking about zxa again
#my art#megaman#megaman zx#megaman zx advent#grey#ashe#rare canon color palettes from me but you only get 1 (one) per character#ive been booting up the zero/zx collection again to finally play the zero games and the zxa disease has reawakened in my brain#i wanna play zxa again so bad but i gotta resist ive only just started zero 2#but anyways#i just think inti kept grey and ashe apart because theyd be too strong together#the dynamic between a reckless kind of selfish and confident person and a paranoid naive basically newborn would be an interesting one#wanted to have their poses capture a majority of their main personalities with one showing a rarer side to each#such as grey smiling or ashes self doubts about her lack of belonging#i just think theyre neat

HAPPY GAMERA DAY!
I believe this is suit actor Akira Ohashi suing up as Gamera for Gamera 2: Advent of Legion (1996).
