Christmas dinner for myself: Loroco tacos with homemade chili and homemade tortillas lol.

A big feat with my back pain. I haven't had the energy to home-make tortillas in a while (even though it's super easy, and I refuse to eat store-bought bc these are way better).

What's Santa's name in your language? 🎅 Answer in the comments for extra chances to get on his "Nice List". 🤭

[thegothicviking]

In Norwegian 🇧🇻 :

Julenissen= santa claus (literally meaning: xmas santa) 🎅 -> very wholesome!

Jule nissen (with a space) = beating up santa ! 🤜🎅 -> not ok!

Ananasbiter = (pieces of pineapple) 🍍

-> wholesome/normal

Ananas biter (with a space) = the pineapple is biting 🍍😈 -> Run!

A space can do so much.

re: this

Smth else that annoys me is that many of my fellow Finns don't give a flying fuck about Finnish culture until it is about something that isn't actually Finnish culture. Like the Karelian pirogs/kalittas/šipainiekkus, like, if a Finn is making them at home with a recipe they learned from their Karelian grandma, how is it away from the Finn that they're partaking in a Karelian food tradition? They obviously have the ""right"" to that tradition even if they exclusively identify as a Finn, it is their family tradition. Doesn't make it a Finnish one. Why do they get so butthurt about that?!?

I kind of wanna make some kinda guide to people who feel like they "don't have their own culture" that forces them to acknowledge their culture so they can stop whining about how disenfranchised peoples are sooo meeean for not "sharing", weeeeeh. 🤦

[sparrowsarecool]

I love how American Christmas songs are "yay it's Xmas yippee lala la la" while Finnish ones are basically "it's cold and dark and everything sucks, also there are some dead children".

[cagneyblooms]

what the fuck am I doing w my life

My Aasi, Morso ja Mouru OC, Lepattaa the Spanish (EVEN THOUGH SHES FINNISH BUT WHATEVER.) Moth

few facts ab Lepattaa

- she is a VERY famous moth(perhaps a singer?), hence her fancy clothing . She didn't like how rich and well known she was everywhere one bit, and wishing for some peace and quiet, she moved to the forest where she soon met Aasi and moved in w him! She moved in soon not long after Morso did.

- Speaking of Morso, she actually moved into the forest for another reason, maybe the possibly true reason.. she wanted to see a real Morso live for herself! Not one bit scared of the species, she has always had an odd fascination for the Morso species. She had planned to move out after seeing one for herself, but ended up eventually loving the forest and ending up residing there for good. She also ends up becoming Morsos girlfriend or something. LOL. Morso calls her Patty :] he is the only one of the three to do this

- After Mouru moved in, she did not like his ass one bit, finding him very annoying and his claims to know famous people even moreso (HAHAHA) they usually butt heads a lot of the time and can barely get along with one another even if their lifes depended on it

- Despite being the token girl of the group, this doesn't let this stop her from having as much fun as the boys do. She's horrible at Hide and Seek because of her bright colorful appearance however.

- She's usually seen floating rather than on the ground, very few times will you see her on the floor. Her flying has helped the group alot from time to time. (Such as EP 7 the xmas special, her flying abilities is what helped them get out of the snow and back home off screen)

- Despite being a moth, she is a few inches taller than Morso is. https://youtu.be/2lNFVcbcTcY?si=iOItPEhUuPeiHb9m

- The lesson of "Don't judge a book by its cover" from the show applies to her aswell, at first she looks appears to be very pompous and vain because of her luxurious lifestyle, but you actually come to find out she's a very nice and generous person underneath her artificial beautiful looks. (This may or may not work as an opposite to Morso. Haha)

- Voice Claim: Taru Tikkanen (Rarity, MLP: https://youtu.be/cEgCiHii5-M?feature=shared 1:12)

Yeah I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore ☹️

Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

Tagged by @sunnythanalan, thank you!

Three ships I like: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (MDZS), Matsuoka Rin/Nanase Haruka (Free!), uhhhhhhhh Geto Suguru/Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen)

First ship ever: this is a tough one... maybe Kyoraku Shunshui/Ukitake Jushiro (Bleach) ? If not first it's at least one of the first ones.

Last song you heard: Peacock Epoch by USSS (be warned that the lyrics are mildly suggestive)

Favorite childhood storybook: uhh this is finnish only, I don't think it's ever been translated to any other languages but "Tiitiäisen satupuu" (by Kirsi Kunnas). Idk what the word for them is in english, but it basically has a collection of story like poems meant for kids. It's pretty old (wikipedia says it was published in 1956, wow), but I used to have a newer copy of it as a kid and the poems in it are really fun.

Currently reading: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS) 4 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. It was my xmas gift, so I've been reading it whenever I want to feel sappy about two idiots pining

Currently watching: Spy x Family second season. I think I have 2 episodes left..?

Currently consuming: Tea (mango & lychee green tea) and these tiny bread rolls we made earlier.

Currently craving: Candy... More specifically chocolate, as I ate last of my gift chocolates yesterday :c

[arctixout]

what christmas tradition would you most like to do with nace?

I would take him to the church to sing xmas songs. Sad Finnish xmas songs really fit our really old church and also it perfectly captures the overall calm, maybe a bit longing, feeling of Finnish xmas.

A good second one would be to go pick and chop down a spruce for the xmas tree from the the bit of forest my dad owns.
