what do you think now that you’re caught up?

That Rythian appears to have people lining up in order to get him to hate them. I'm almost tempted to check for a curse.

Tomfoolery aside, the situation isn't dire, just.. overly complex. Too many moving parts. The most present threat is, ah, probably the fish thats trying to eat Rythian? Since she's the most.. actively dangerous bit, here. The one on the move, so to speak

Although a certain someone seems to be doing his damnedest to be the first causality.

one of my favorite aspects of media is how everyone interacts with the muppets as though they're real

The Sleep Token fandom is a beautiful, diverse community of individuals from all walks of life and intersections of identity. We're all brought together to celebrate music about love, pain, human connection, relationships, growth, and healing. Those are the core tenants of the art we love and the artist we admire.

Transphobia lies in stark contrast to these things that bring us together—there is no love, no understanding, no joy, and no hope for healing in such an inherently hateful ideology. There's a reason so many queer/trans/genderqueer folk, women, poc, etc. feel so safe in this community, especially compared to the broader metal scene! Frankly, I'd be embarrassed by the sheer cognitive dissonance of being both in the ST fandom and radfem... whatever you've got going on. Surely not a community, that would require empathy for others.

tl;dr transphobes and radfems can kick rocks and listen to ST in their own sad, hateful little corner :3

maybe they'll learn a thing or two about introspection, or perhaps working on your own toxicity to heal and become a better person

My new updated Shuake shrine in all of its glory! ☕🥞

It's getting crowded now. I probably have to rearrange some more things and change the poses of some of the figures, so I'll make another pic soon with some close-ups! 🙏

I know in my heart Time could walk off into the woods for a bit, maybe because he got overwhelmed and just needed to take a few minutes to himself, and he’d come back with some little deer trailing after him, and that’s just his new buddy. Everyone else (except Wars because he’s used to it at this point) is like “HELLO?? WHERE’D THE DEER COME FROM???” And Time just shrugs and goes about his business and the deer follows him wagging its little tail

YES YESSS YOU GET IT

Time is like a Disney princess in that animals just follow him around without reason. They sense his deep connection to the forest and nature itself (plus I headcanon him being a fairy so there’s that). And they also see how gentle and kind he is.

It’s happened to him his entire life so he doesn’t even realize it’s…not exactly a normal occurrence XD It’s not uncommon for him to have an entire entourage of woodland creatures skipping after him. The Chain has no idea what to make of it

Need to set a good example for young moths.

Got the idea after watching the spirit parade again and seeing Overactive Overachiever aggressively walking behind the others. Saw other people mention the aggressive emoting and finally saw it myself. It's hilarious to watch.

Well, it happened because Lalna was getting a bit to chatty with Rythian, rythian took him to talk in some weird private space even we can't see, but it was too late, already wounded xpehos' pride oh so slightly, xephos is definitely getting even more dangerously unstable, id go talk with rythian about it

Mm.. if he keeps that up we might have to intervene, yeah. Although, for the moment, I'd say we have much more pressing issues. Several people are on a timer we don't know the end date of, including Rythian. In comparison, Xephos is much easier to predict

From our recent event of the fourth of July in the USA, I was also thinking of Japan's summer festivals. Besides yukata, are there kimonos that have festival themes like fireworks, festival decorations/sceneries, specific patterns, specific colors, etc.?

Japanese traditional culture is all about celebrating seasonality so indeed summer matsuri themed patterns are pretty common on summery items :)

(note that I used summer here in the Western sense of July/August. Traditional Japanese summer goes from something like May to July)

Yukata+kimono+obi+uchiwa are a staple, you can also find happi (tube sleeves coats) but those tend to bear mon (crests) and auspicious kanji.

Other festival garments count for example yosakoi (type of dance groups) uniforms, but those are more performance oriented. Otherwise, what would be a matsuri without fundoshi loincloth ;) (see how to tie one here)

On the top of my head, summer festival patterns can include (please note some are not summer only):

hanabi (fireworks)

dashi/yatai (parade float), used during processions. Mikoshi (portable shrine) is theorically possible but I don't remember seeing such a pattern

kingyo (goldfishes), kingyosukui is a popular summer game

fuurin (windchimes), often sold at matsuri

men (masks), most often kitsune or tengu but many more exist

toys, like dendendaiko (rattle drum) for ex.

matoi (firemen poles), brigades often present acrobatic shows in summer

chouchin (paper lantern), also see Obon below

etc.

Japan holds a myriad matsuri all across the country, each with their own traditions. But big celebrations often have related patterns:

Tanabata has stars, bamboo, tanzaku, magpies, ox, etc.

Obon has lanterns, cucumber, eggplant, death themed motifs (like nozarashi or graveplates), nod to Kyoto's Daimonji kanji, etc.

Famous festivals also have their own imagery (yamaboko float for Gion matsuri ex.).

As for colors, scarlet red is often found on matsuri decors, and indigo blue is a classical summer color (yukata were once dyed with it), but tbh any can be used nowadays :)
