Celebrations to have in your fictional society
Across humanity there are some things most known cultures have celebrations for and can be used well as an easy way to expand on the lore of your world without info dumping. here are some of them:
Independence / Unity / National / Freedom Day: the day used to commemorate when a nation, kingdom, or faction came together as one. This may be the day a treaty was signed, the day the former regime was overthrown, the day a new ruler was sworn in...
Ruler's Birthday: if there is a single or a few rulers, their birthdays might be celebrated with large festivities
End & Beginning of a year: regardless which calendar is used, most societies had some way to measure the length of one cycle (lunar cycle, every ___ amount of days, the beginning of a particular season, maybe something more abstract like the first day the flowers bloom or the day of the first snowfall...) and celebrate accordingly
Celebrating a Season: celebrating summer with festivities outside, spring with a flower market, autumn with a harvest festival, winter with a bonfire...
Day of Mourning/Remembrance: either in general or a day for remembering the dead from a certain event, tragedy, war...
Religious Festivals: depending on your type of belief system there could be many celebrations or only one or two
Historic Memorial Days: the day a war ended, the day of a massacre, the day of a revolution, the day of any grand and influential type of event that is remembered years later
Labour Day: a day to celebrate those who work hard to actually uphold the system and makes up the vast majority of the population, often accompanied by protest and conversations/demands between leader(s)/speakers of the people and the head of state
this is how it feels to make an oc and then get emotional about the situations you put them in
the reality of being a writer
i highly recommend doing no-sketch paint studies using movie stills it actually teaches you so much without even realizing. and if youre lazy just remember the amount of AI slop out there it does wonders for me
tips: start with the background, set the tone. then start with big strokes. details are for later, you need the shapes first to see what youre even doing
Incredibly fucking slow at it π€§
i fixed it

Me: βIβm gonna write a nice little oneshot!β *opens computer* *blinks* *somehow gets 14 chapters deep into the outline* βohβ¦ guess notβ
these shapes.inc ads or whatever are getting on my nerves. i am not making a chatbot for my ocs. i will lay awake in bed and think about them like i'm ebeneezer scrooge being haunted by the ghosts of Characters past present and future and then i will stumble out of these visions with nothing coherent to say about them
reminding myself that 7 kudos is 7 different people who have read my story and actually liked it
and idk about you but if 7 people came up to me in real life and said βhey we really liked your writingβ i would just cry on the spot
How I feel working on the timelines of any writing project:
the worst part of getting into new media is when youre at the stage where youre completely obsessed with it but you cant go through the tags or seek out anything about it bc youre not fuckiny done yet
Fandoms stopped being a fun escape from reality when people started spreading the belief that you should prioritize purity over pleasure and the art you create must be a reflection of your moral standards at all times.
