#Let’s see who wins; when celebrating Firrtin’z!

[starsmuserainbow]

[[ Before I start: This is based on my headcanons. It is in no way founded with any kind of canon or something, and the date is also (mostly randomly) chosen by me. ]]

Today, on the 11th of July, is when the tamaranean festival named Firrtin’z takes place!

What is Firrtin’z, you ask? It is the tamaranean festival of a competitive thinking. Competing against someone, be it in a friendly way or a ‘serious’ one, can raise the spirits and brighten the mood, no matter if one is on the winning side or not. Which is why this celebration exists. Not that this is the only day to compete if one wishes to do so more often, but this celebration is held so that at least once every now and then (or every year, to be more precise), the aforementioned advantages are actually given to everyone. Of course, there are people that do not celebrate it, but on Tamaran it is a big event and there is no real way to ‘escape’ the competing unless you lock yourself up all on your own for the day.

How is it celebrated? The person celebrating it will do all they can to challenge anyone they meet during the day to a competition. Which would include a continuous asking for the other to agree, a following of them through wherever they need to go during the day, basically anything that’s not causing the other person harm is alright to pursue in order to actually get to competing with them. The matter of the competition is not set, it can be anything where one can be ‘better’ than the other, and it will usually be discussed with the other what kind of competition will be done.

What does this mean for your blog? I don't plan on approaching anyone for the festivity. I will most likely reblog some opens for the festivity that I already posted some other time, at least on those of my tamaraneans that would/will openly celebrate it. Please also see this as an open invitation to have your muse come to my askbox (or tag me in a post if you prefer) and show the wish to celebrate Firrtin’z with my tamaraneans (or if your muse doesn’t know about the festivity yet but you want them to participate, simply happen to come by today; at least some of my tamaraneans will be most happy to explain about the celebration then). I might be a bit more picky in answering things though, given my recent muse or motivation struggles.

I’d prefer it if there is a sort-of logical explanation for why your character knows of the tamaranean festival. - If they have any kind of relationship with Starfire (maybe except enemies), it makes sense that she could have explained, or at least mentioned, the festivity and its date in some talk they had “off-screen” (or even in a RP). - Blackfire would never talk much about her home planet or the festivals there though, and neither is she actually into celebrating them, so it’s highly unlikely you would learn about it from her (and you’d need to strongly convince her if you want to celebrate it with her), and - Wildfire has been told of the date, but he doesn’t really enjoy the concept of competing, nor does he remember too much of the festival from home, so the only reason for him participating (after hearing stories about it from Starfire) is that he feels obliged to honor the traditions of his home. - Galfore lives on Tamaran, so obviously he is participating, and he enjoys it a lot too; - Moonshot very much honors all tamaranean traditions, so he will be very set on celebrating this with anyone he comes across during the day, whereas - Starlight isn’t really aware that it is today. If someone would let her know though, she might participate, though only if it’s actually something she would be interested in outside of the celebration too; she doesn’t really value the tamaranean festivities much. - Mar'i would certainly be delighted to participate.

There are of course other ways your muses could have learned about it, and I’m open to those. But if e.g. an ‘ordinary human’ with no previous contact to anything alien related whatsoever suddenly knows of Firrtin’z I just don’t think I could enjoy it that much.

Oh, and one more thing! This celebration also means that I will try to focus on that, if I do get anything about it. I will see to get at least some other replies done too, but my focus on such a day will be on asks/replies/threads about the “holiday” that currently is. And for the next week or so, Firrtin’z-related threads will be handled prioritized over others.

I think that’s all I need to explain; if there are any questions, always feel free to come into my inbox and ask me! All the threads or (IC-)posts related to Firrtin’z will be tagged with: #Let’s see who wins; when celebrating Firrtin’z!

It was more difficult than he thought it would be, to honor a tamaranean tradition while on a different planet. Multiple people had already denied his attempts at competing, not in the nicest ways (which was probably understandable, given Moonshot basically stalked someone once asking them for a challenge, as it was the way on Tamaran to follow and try everything to make the competition happen) - he even had been chased off by what he assumed were some policemen once.

But he wouldn’t stop trying, for even if he wouldn’t manage to actually compete with anyone, he at least stayed true to Tamaran’s traditions then. Grunting as he spotted another person, Moonshot didn’t hesitate to approach. “Hello. I challenge you to a competition. Choose where to compete in.”

[royalcaretaker]

“X’Hal!” Fist raised along with this shout, it seemed to be a greeting that Galfore offered the other as he spotted them. Moving closer, he continued: “It is pleasant to meet you on this day! We are celebrating Firrtin’z today, a festivity of competition!” His arm was lowered back to his side now, and despite talking of celebration, his expression was still rather serious.

“I wish to challenge you to a competition now. It can be of your choosing what we do.”

“Oh! Hello!” Wildfire had purposely not sought out any of his friends today. He knew what tamaranean festivity was today, and meeting someone he felt at least somewhat comfortable around would make him feel obliged to participate; and since he didn’t like the concept of the day, he chose to simply not visit anyone today. But now one of his friends had visited him, and he was surprised by it, rubbing the back of his head a bit.

“I am... ch. It is,... today is Firrtin’z, tamaran-ean celeb-ration. So, now I want to... fight, ch no, not fight... play?” That too wasn’t the right way to say it, so he shook his head. “Do, together, one win, one lose. I want that, now, for Firrtin’z.”

He was so focused on mentioning, and trying to explain, the tamaranean festivity, that Wildfire completely forgot to ask why his friend had come to visit him in the first place.

What does this mean for your blog? Well, I likely won’t be approaching people for celebrating it, unless you've liked that post of mine that I'll reblog a few more times today. But I will make (or maybe simply reblog from last year) some opens for the festivity, at least on those of my tamaraneans that would/will openly celebrate it. Please also see this as an open invitation to have your muse come to my askbox (or tag me in a post if you prefer) and show the wish to celebrate Firrtin’z with my tamaraneans (or if your muse doesn’t know about the festivity yet but you want them to participate, simply happen to come by today; at least some of my tamaraneans will be most happy to explain about the celebration then).

If someone would let her know though, she might participate, though only if it's actually somethign she would be interested in outside of the celebration too; she doesn't really value the tamaranean festivities much

[[ @sewn-cutie​ gets a Firrtin’z thing!]]

“Clementine!” Starfire called out to her friend cheerily, it was Firrtin’z, and she never had introduced the doll to this tamaranean celebration before.

“Today is the tamaranean celebration of competing, and to celebrate it, I wish to challenge you!” Now, to think of something right away, Starfire hummed for a moment before giggling. “Shall we perhaps begin by seeing which of us can continue to spin around themselves for longer?” To demonstrate her words too, she quickly did a spin around herself. There was likely going to be dizzyness coming quickly from that, but hey - it was still going to be fun!

“I greet you!” Starfire beamed as she approached the other. “May success and an everlasting will to continue be with you!” Hands clasping together as she hovered closer, she began to explain why she added that phrase.

“Today is a festivity of my people, and I wish to celebrate it accordingly! It is called Firrtin’z, and for it we must now compete! Is there any activity that you are preferring to do the competing in?”

Today, on the 11th of July, is when the tamaranean festival named Firrtin’z takes place!

What is Firrtin’z, you ask? It is the tamaranean festival of a competitive thinking. Competing against someone, be it in a friendly way or a ‘serious’ one, can raise the spirits and brighten the mood, no matter if one is on the winning side or not. Which is why this celebration exists. Not that this is the only day to compete if one wishes to do so more often, but this celebration is held so that at least once every now and then (or every year, to be more precise), the aforementioned advantages are actually given to everyone.

The matter of the competition is not set, it can be anything where one can be ‘better’ than the other, and it will usually be discussed with the other what kind of competition will be done. 

What does this mean for your blog? Well, if we’re mutuals (if you’re reading this on my sideblogs then please remember that I follow back from @starfirechan and not from here), I understand that as permission to maybe have my tamaranean come into your inbox, wishing to celebrate it with you. It’s rather unlikely that I do so today (meaning this year for Firrtin’z) though, as I still owe a lot of things and usually I try to not start new things when I owe enough already. If this ever bothers you but you still wish to keep following me, please tell me that you do not like this and I will make a note to keep you out of this. Please also see this as an open invitation to have your muse come to my askbox (or tag me in a post if you prefer) and show the wish to celebrate Firrtin’z with my tamaraneans (or if your muse doesn’t know about the festivity yet but you want them to participate, simply happen to come by today, at least Starfire will be most happy to explain about the celebration then). I will also make an open starter on Star about it later, and you’re welcome to answer to that.

I’d prefer it if there is a sort-of logical explanation for why your character knows of the tamaranean festival. - If they have any kind of relationship with Starfire (maybe except enemies), it makes sense that she could have explained the festivity and it’s date in some talk they had “off-screen” (or even in a RP). - Blackfire would never talk much about her home planet or the festivals there though, and neither is she actually into celebrating them, so it’s highly unlikely you would learn about it from her (and you’d need to strongly convince her if you want to celebrate them with her), and - Wildfire has been told of the date, but he doesn’t really enjoy the concept of competing, nor does he remember much of the festival from home, so he’s not really participating in this celebration.

[[ @rockinmusician​ gets a Firrtin’z thing!]]

Okay, admittedly, Starfire knew that not everyone of the people not yet knowing her would appreciate this. Still, she had the need to share her tamaranean festivities with more than only her friends, and so here she was, out in some place and walking through the streets, looking around to choose someone to approach.

Having made a decision, she smiled as she walked over. “I greet you!”, Starfire began cheerfully, not leaving much of a pause between the greeting and the next part. “Today is a celebration of my people, it celebrates competing, and so I am now wishing to challenge you! It may be of your choosing what we shall do.”

[starsmuserainbow]

“Greetings, friend!”

“What a wonderful day it is today!” She paused for a moment, giving her friend the chance to say something in return, before she’d add: “As today is Firrtin’z, the tamaranean festival of competitiveness, we now shall find some activity that we can do a friendly competing in!”
