#Christmas carp

[hemi-demi]

A silly idea for a Christmas gift to @ultramarinaa

We both love the headcanon that Martin is at least half Polish, and they told me about a tradition where Polish people keep a carp fresh for Christmas, usually in their bathtub. So I couldn’t resist drawing Cat!Martin making a new friend.

(Don’t worry, this carp didn’t get eaten for dinner. Martin got attached and they gave it a good, fishy home.)

Merry Christmas, Ultra! Thank you for being my friend ❤️

mirror carp

I always wanted to make my own Holiday postcards, and what could be a better theme for one than the fish that's associated with them so strongly in my country! Ironically I've literally never eaten one, but I always loved how they look.

Mirror carp's large scales are considered a lucky symbol in Poland (some people still keep one in their wallets) - with the help of my wooden and acrylic charms you can now get a lucky symbol of your own without the questionable scent 😂

Memory, Christmas.

"Seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."

Life is short, yet so many moments slip through our fingers like sand in the wind. We forget the mundane, the ordinary, but the unexpected, striking ones linger. The large canvas of our youth, filled with countless memories, gets condensed to a few vibrant strokes. Why? Because whether we like it or not, we forget. We forget the small stuff, the routine. But the moments when we choose to break from the norm? Those stay with us forever.

Carpe Diem.

I remember my 1st grade Christmas party—an ordinary day, filled with the usual joy and excitement. Everyone had fun, It was a lively classroom filled with laughter and banter. To our surprise, Jollibee, the big, red, smiling mascot, came to our party unexpectedly, to the students, atleast. My friends, classmates, rushed towards him in excitement. and me? I felt, different. I chose not to follow the crowd, went against the flow. I stopped, and I watched. In a world that tell us to conform to a culture the media dictates, to be like everyone else, Think for yourself.

That is the beauty of life, friends. We dont remember things that were ordinary, we remember the moments we stepped outside the crowd, when we chose to be different. To not just go along with the flow but to question it. To think for ourselves. To be the odd one, not the common one. Carpe Diem. Seize the day, because those moments will stay with us long after the rest fades away. Be you, Be unique, be unconstrained, Seize the day. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.

Merry Christmas, my friends. May you find your own moments to stand apart, to feel alive, and to seize the day.

Dispatches from 24th Slovenian Class incoming : D

(Last class of 2023 whuuuuuuut)

We started off the class talking about Christmas in Slovenia so you KNOW it was my time to sparkle like the Bela Snežinka I am X D

Things I managed to avoid mentioning:

Beloved children's book character Dedek Mrož

Bela Snežinka

The Joker Out concerts that are the perfect way to celebrate Christmas and New Year for real for real (and which, sadly, I can't attend #resniproblemi)

my newly acquired Sole Slovenian Swear

Things I couldn't help but mention:

the fact that I know all about the 3 versions of Father Christmas in Slovenia

the fact that I am way too familiar with these two seasonal classics

Other items of note:

We did a bit of future tense so my brain was all "Kot da nas jutri več ne bo"

ALSO we had the following phrases as part of our work on the 5th AKA locative case:

Textbook: Kateri film je danes v kinu?

Me: Kaj pa Ester?

Textbook: Cel večer smo se pogovarjali o novem slovenskem filmu

Me: Je šlo za TISTO sceno?

LATER THAT SAME EXERCISE

Textbook: Jan živi pri simpatični punci

Me: ZAGOTOVO NE

I forgot about karp po żydowsku

Google said it is just gefilte fish but idk looking at the images I think somehow this is some attempt to make gefilte fish more fucked up than it already is?

People who have had karp po żydowsku do you like it
