It's more common than you think. People are very wary and distrustful, and it's easy to buy into conspiracies when those theories are being perpetuated by people you consider educated and reputable. And especially if they're your boss. Quite a few of my medical field coworkers were antivax.
As a whole, though, my coworkers were incredibly superstitious. To some degree, I compare it to the level of superstition that professional athletes and sailors experience. But it's a whole new level listening to a surgeon explain how he got his surgery room Spotify playlist curated and blessed by his dog's psychic. That particular interaction lives rent free in my head to this day.
Whatever your position about the vax, I just want you to know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

hello hannah my beloved!!! i was wondering, do you have any thoughts on marriage/wedding costumes for the different regions? embroidery, colours, etc? we have the cloak of course, but would dorne follow this tradition too, considering it's so hot, would they use sheer material? does the bedding ceremony (and subsequent tearing of the dress...eugh) affect the choice of dress? kisses my wonderful friend from the puter 🫶
Ur in luck my dearest wife bc I’ve done a few wedding posts here and here and here already
Colors as symbols is Very Important to me. Black in Dorne bc in ancient Egypt black was a good and lucky color, used to represent fertility in such a dry arid place. Green often used in the north as another sign of spring and fertility. Riverlanders using multiple natural dyes in their dresses bc representative of blooming flowers :) Gold used by the upper classes so they can look more like they were blessed by the Maiden. White is fine for purity symbolism but I hate hate hate all white wedding dresses in medieval fantasy bc They Would Not Wear That Shit
Girls from all over the country probably embroider their dresses with their mothers and sisters and aunts and grandmothers. Every woman lends a hand in the coming of age of another. Maybe in the north the family matriarch gives them basically a Rushynk to wear around their neck during the wedding for happiness and protection. Many many traditions of being gifted something by your mother or elder sister or other female family member to have during the wedding and bring with you to your new home as a symbol of having a lifeline back to your family

Culture - for the second day of @hetalia-rarepairweek ✨
I have recently been told about the British superstition of magpies and how of saluting magpies will ward off bad luck. The saluting is to show respect to the bird often connected with bad omens so that nothing bad will happen to you 🍂

Random FFXIV headcannon:
In Eorzea heterochromia is considered to be a sign that a child has a grand destiny of some kind. This is possibly why the adventurers guild has so many memebers with heterochromia.

alright y'all i want your thoughts. do we think Hermie is superstitious??? because i could see it going either way. on the one hand, with how seriously he takes theater, its VERY funny to picture some unaware freshman mentioning Macbeth and then getting side tackled by this scrawny ass joker bucko, but on the other hand, we know how dedicated to scams he is. part of me thinks he would find some hidden spot with good acoustics and just start whistling and slowly drive everyone wild

sorry for coming off as passive aggressive with that recent ask wrt the asian aspects (i'm mostly lighthearted but to be honest i am a little tired though), but,, yeah idk how to put this in words, especially for something that literally originated from art specifically made between two asian people who "get it", to people who aren't asian LMAO
asian superstition like ancestral spirits, hungry ghosts, urban legends, etc, even if you don't believe in them, can have more Acknowledgement and Presence in some asian people's daily lives, like festivals like lunar new years or mid-autumn festival being celebrated, attending a funeral even if you don't believe in ghosts, things like avoiding walking under ladders out of habit even if you don't believe in superstitions, etc!
superstitions and acknowledging spirits (especially ancestral spirits and hungry ghosts) rooted from asian mythology/superstition are just... a part of life? it's something we're accustomed to and thus why i and my friend joked w asian ghost veneration stuff. if this analogy makes sense, being rude to asian people demanding we explain why we’re making jokes about asian superstition is like being rude to someone drawing something as contemporary and common as a coffee shop au bc you personally aren't from a culture/area/etc with coffee shops LMAO

so ive been trying to wrap my head around what the more supernatural aspects of the world should look like, because ive been trying to think of ways to intertwine it with the rest of the setting (ironic, considering the importance of it)
but im thinking maybe at least i should start by leaning into more aspects around death, with thorough funerary rites and rituals created to combat post-death monstrosities,,

anyway a different sneaky plan worked out in that i was able to find old listing photos of my dream house and ough..... i need her .....
#she was last sold in 2018 but maybe by the time ive made my millions (through directing or winning the lottery or some other scheme)#she'll be for sale again. we can dream#realizing 2018 was six years ago and not like. 2. thats scary#but anyway i like this house a lot. good kitchen. could be bigger but its workable#built in bookshelves in the huge living room. thats for dvds babey#no pictures of the 2 bedrooms n bathrooms . come on man i need to know what storage space we're working with#very nice little outside pool area thats surrounded by bushes n plants. i like that.#one day ill learn how to swim so my pool will not be redundant#its nice. id love to see a floor plan but alas#this is a different house from that house in palm springs that was furnished to the max with gaudy 70s furniture and decor#that one is really fun. but its also way the hell out in palm springs#this house however is in the hollywood hills. ish . but the great thing about is that its down this private drive#and you cant even see it on google images. very secret i like that . im hidden away from the world#another thing going for this house is a silly little superstition ive inherited from my dad#multiple times in his life hes lived at places where the numbers in the address have added up to his lucky number (day of birth)#where we live now adds up to 13 which explains a lot#but this house the numbers add up to my lucky number. yay#anyway this is all very hypothetical but i have nothing else to do with my time (<- guy that could be doing far more productive things)

Oddworld species idea: creature whose mothers lay their eggs among Mudokon egg clutches like how Cuckoos and other parasitic birds lay thier eggs in bird nests. the young superficially resemble Mudokons in their baby/adolescent/teenage stage until adulthood where they metamorphisize into a far larger, stronger and more messed up looking creature.
