things i thought were evrywhere
kefir, its like milk but if it was salty and more creamy, plus it gives you a nice moustache, but it moves slower
next up, dill, idk if its not that popular but it is a staple and god in my country, its like if pine was healthy to eat
next up, and this is spread across europe to my knowledge, name days!!! they are like birthdays but for your name, for every day of the year there are about 3 names for each day, and also they are hard to remember like your birthday, but if you celebrate them then your oma has got your back probably, (how do they remember every name day), also idk but if you have a name that doesnt have a name day you could probably get a second name for a name day, and if you have 2 names you could maybe get 2 name days, but idk
(the only high quality name day board was in german but you get it)
i could reblog this and add more things if i remember, but
TLDR: kefir, dilles, and namedays are cool

so the thing about greysnow which is so deeply appealing to me and that i rarely see discussed is that forced cohabitation with people you don't like creates the weirdest dynamic. like. their shared relationship with robb + being boys of similar age means that despite the fact that they really didn’t like one another, they likely spent basically every single day together. and they probably knew each other really well. like jon is absolutely not reminiscing about fond memories of theon when he's at the wall he just remembers he exists every few days and is like man i hate that guy. but you know what? he probably notices every year when it's theon's birthday.

"I snuck out often as a child and teenager, covering my forehead in a worn, old headband. Never got along with the other Garlean kids, too stiff and uptight for me to make friends with. So I tried my luck in the lower side of the city, hiding who I really was from the Ala Mhigan kids. Didn't matter though, they figured me out pretty quickly. Most of them kept their distance...except two that didn't seem to care at all. Ashe and Denrick Harker were their names, brother and sister from an Ala Mhigan mining family. They were my only real friends here, made everything worth it for me for years. And yet at every turn I was told not to."
"But why? What makes them so different from us? They can laugh, they can cry, they have dreams, can get happy, be sad, everything. What made us different, what made us 'better' than them? No one would ever tell me why. Why were they the ones called 'savages' when we were the ones who thought of them as less than nothing? We were the ones who beat them on the streets, in broad daylight...and the people cheered for it. People were dying right in front of them, and no one cared. Even my own mother and father, my family, just told me to look the other way. To let the guards 'clean up the trash' and ignore them...that they didn't matter."
"Sometimes I get the urge to rip this damn eye out of my head, but what would that accomplish? It wouldn't bring them back, it wouldn't change what I am. So it stays, as a reminder. I don't like to remember, but I can't ever let myself forget. I can't bring them back, I can at least help set their home free...it's the least I can do. I don't care what happens to me after that, at least I'll know I did right by Ashe and Denrick one last time."
