Christmas Trees aren’t pagan…So why are people so obsessed with this myth?

Before you respond in anger, ask yourself:

- do I think this because it feels right or because I have evidence?

- is the evidence a blog post without citations? (See also TikTok, tumblr post, etc)

- do I think this bc I’ve thought it for a long time?

- what evidence do I actually have?

- how much time have I spent researching this? (again: opinion pieces without citations don’t count as research)

Scholars agree: there is no solid evidence linking Christmas trees to previous pagan traditions…

Let’s trace its origins back to the German nationalists of the 1800s, to the Nazis who promoted this myth, & let’s debunk the supposed origins — Saturnalia, Yule, Sol Invictus, the Yule Log….all with citations galore.

Both me and my friend felt nostalgic so we made Techno and Philza into Honkai Star Rail characters

I love how from the prospective of in game Minecraft we just have a bunch of folklore.

oh yeah of course everyone knows about the group of famous builders that run off into the middle of nowhere and build massive monoliths and structures and presenting it to a group of faceless beings that speak in symbols and numbers

like yeah obviously we’ve all heard of the blood god and the potato war and the Antarctic empire who hasn’t???

of course we all know some dude is with the goddess of death and died by a baby zombie after thousands of years of never dying once

of course we all heard about those freaks who go into the woods and perform weird rituals and get hunted down by other players and creatures like yeah ofc everyone’s heard of it

Sooo after seeing so many beautiful mc’s in they’re own way of owylam. Of course I HAD to make mine! (•̀ᴗ•́)و

Got out of a block of several months for this and now that I look at them. Oh it’s so worth it. (Just please don’t look too much at Techno’s right eye I hate it and every time i tried to fix it it still didn’t looked right so we’re sticking with this one)

Something possessed me and I was like "I must come up with in-world symbolism of colours from the perspective of the Overworld (so illagers and villagers).

It would be different from Nether's perspective, perhaps I'll do that later.

this part always goes so hard though

if I found out I was prophesied to kill my father, fuck my mother, and bring a curse upon my city, I would simply move to a different city and leave my parents behind to avoid it.

Elizabeth and Adam FRANKENSTEIN (2025) dir. Guillermo del Toro

[combustable-head]

Gothic literature must be cursed to forever be misinterpreted by mainstream public because how did this happen

Dracula book: an evil count who only sees the world as a resource to be drained for his own pleasure is stopped by the group of people who deeply care for each other

Dracula in media: a tragic romantic hero, main love interest of one of the protagonists who must be liberated from her dull little life

Frankenstein book: any human has capacity for evil when completely abandoned and shunned by the world and the people who brought him into it

Frankenstein in media: don't play God because it's against nature's laws

Jekyll and Hyde book: repression and only caring about external appearances can cause your worst impulses to indulge themselves in dangerous ways if ignored for too long

Jekyll and Hyde in media: what if there was two of the same guy but one of them was evil and gross?

Phil: “This place sucks. This place sucks. I hate Antarctica so much. It’s so shit. Nothing can spawn here, dude. Fuck, It’s just a death- death zone.

Also Phil: “But it’s home 🥺”

Bonus from Techno: “It’s terrible but it’s home. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!”
