Happy Holidays, @allpatchedart ! 

Your Fort-Lune Holidays request really inspired me so I went a bit overboard with the world building of my illustrations.

Image 1 is a Day of the Dead/Lunar eclipse celebration

Image 2 is a more classic Village or Harvest festival.

Image 3 is inspired by the Holi Hindu festival.

Image 4 is a Carnaval/Mardi Gras/Halloween festival.

Hope you’ll like it!

(If you want the details of each holidays and some general lore, I’ll put it underneath the cut.)

First of all, I had to decide on the designs of the characters so I based them on the 3 characters you see on Fort-Lune as well as Sagitta clothing (since they are originally from there), which I find to be inspired by Tibet clothing. I also added a few modern or futuristic ones.

I also thought of the architecture there. We only see the big metal tower int the game so I was thinking that the building on the Moon would be very utilitarian and bland : simple square geometric shapes, variations go gray concrete and metals. Only the fancier buildings could afford more colors since most of those pigments would have to be taken from Luxendark.

1 - While the Moon Dwellers are not Orthodox Crystalists, they still worship the Crystals in some ways. They also greatly the connections with their cousins on Luxendark. That’s why every year, on the Day of the Dead, they burn great bonfires and and illuminate small crystals so that the soul of the dead can return to their native land and continue the cycle of live created by the Crystals. That connection is even greater during Lunar eclipses, or Blood Moons, an event also celebrated in Luxendark.

(I also put a Magnolia mourning her loved ones)

2 - Every Nation needs a Harvest festival. Usually more of a big village festival, the Moon Dwellers is it to connect to one another and to be grateful to the food they receive. Ressources on the Moon are scarce and they often have to send covert missions on Luxendark to find more of them. 

3 - The Holi festival is often celebrated in India by throwing colored powder at each other. It has both religious connotations and a celebration of Spring. On the Moon, there are no seasons. 

As I said before, Fort-Lune seriously lacks colors, that’s why people wear colorful clothes when they can afford to. This celebration is both to give more life to their home, and a way to connect to Luxendark since the pigments are taken directly from natural ressources on the planet.

4 - This Mardi Gras celebration functions a bit like Halloween without the spiritual/dead aspect. It’s more to exorcise their fears of the monsters that haunt them, specifically the Ba’als. They transform it into fun with costumes, theaters, parades, concerts, etc…

Culture that interprets the moon as a mouth, and its phases as expressions

The waxing crescent is a polite smile :). It's auspicious for formal occasions with a broad community. Time to see your colleagues, distant relatives, and neighbors you don't really talk to. If you habe a request from someone in power, this is the time to make it.

The waxing gibbous is an overjoyed smile :D. Auspicious for joyous life events, like weddings and childbirth. Spend this time on the things and with the people that matter most to you. Proposal central, this time of the month

The full moon is in shock :O. This time will surprise you. If you've been holding on to a secret, now's when you might bring it to light

The waning period is all sorrow :(. This is a time of want, so be sure to have. It starts with a great cry of terror, and slowly resolves, calms down; the early wane is for outright tragedy and open weeping, and the later wane better suited for quieter introspection. It's also a time of hunger and taking, the closing mouth interpreted as biting down. Paradoxixally, it may be a good time for a long process to come to fruition

The new moon has no mouth : . It doesn't work with my lil emoticons. It's a time for secrets, and any mysteries that surface in these darkest nights are typically left alone. It's a time for privacy and intimacy, to do things you don't want people seeing. It's a time for social withdrawal and meditation, attempting to achieve quiet and peace

Welp, if JK Rowling being executive producer and therefore being fully involved in the show wasn't enough for people to boycott, then here's HBO basically saying they don't care JK Rowling is a bigot from hell who literally helped lead a harassment campaign of lies against Imane Khalif in her transphobia and obsession with women being terf's standards of women alongside posting harassment against trans people on twitter at times, they gonna stand by her, while using the excuse, "personal views". Hmm, yes, personal views- that's one way to uh, call what the fuck JK Rowling comes out with a-lot- last I checked personal views do come with consquiences if said out loud....a thousand times in JK's case and still counting....especially if they hurt people, but hey, if it means making another Harry Potter project to milk, just let it fucking be I guess.
