I lied, it was not a good Sunday. 4 people called out & I got left to do a job I hadn't been fully trained on yet all by myself all day. While being yelled at by coworkers because of said being new & not being as fast as them.

So i'm going to lurk for now & lay down. I may or may not get to things after a nap. So I will be mostly on discord tonight, if anyone wants to talk about ships, brainrot, or plot! But tomorrow's my day off so i'm going to be everyone's problem tomorrow. 💜

I’m currently watching some Rambu Solo (Toraja death rituals) videos and the comments are so painful to read. A bunch of Americans or Europeans calling the culture “wrong” and how it should be left behind and changed

Basic explanation of Rambu Solo; It’s a ritual held by the families of the dead in Toraja. The people of Toraja believes that there is life beyond death and that the dead are simply people who are alive but are asleep. For their spirits to be able to pass into the afterlife, they have to go through the Rambu Solo ceremony. The ceremony is big and expensive and festive with lots of people and animal sacrifice. Because it’s so expensive, some people couldn’t afford it and they can’t bury the body yet without the ritual so they keep the body in the family’s house and the dead is deemed “sick” and they’re treated as such; the family gives them food, drinks, their favourite things, etc. 

Anyway, back to Rambu Solo. The celebration goes as follow; It's a mix of different emotions but one thing certain; it's loud. It's when the family experiences true grief as it was the time to finally let the spirit travel to the afterlife, it's also a happy occassion in some cases. The casket is carried by the male family members and shaken while they walk around to wake the body for their journey.

Then there were the animal sacrifices with pigs and mainly buffalos. These animals can cost up to billions of rupiahs depending on circumstances (which is like $300.000) and are believed to be the ones to accompany the spirit in their journey to heaven. The sacrifice is done in the middle of the audience where a live buffalo is tied to a post and its neck is stabbed and slitted, and then onto another buffalo and another and another as nearly every family members will bring a buffalo.

Now before you go on a rant saying how it's "animal abuse" or "pointless animal death", the buffalo isn't just thrown away, in fact, the meat is equally shared to everyone attending no matter if you're long distance family or just complete strangers, you will get parts of the meat to cook and eat. Same with the pigs but they just feed you on the spot and they make sure there's not a scrap left behind

It may look pointless or otherwise cruel from an outsider's perspective, but it's an ancient tradition of respecting the dead and remembering the family. Just because something looks weird or doesn't fit in your Western perspective and standards for some countries, it doesn't change the fact that it's a tradition that these people have the rights to do without being judged by someone who's never even been there

Now the question is; Why the fuck are so many Westerners mad about it and are trying so hard to say how it's a "bad and cruel tradition that needs to be left behind"? Like why are you trying to tell an entire ancient culture what’s right and wrong y’all don’t even go here 😐

[OOC] - Why do I keep letting myself freak out when I come back here? I want to write for 03 and my other blogs like Leona and the others, but one small thing happens and my paranoia takes my thoughts and tosses my heart into a blender.

My memory troubles don’t help me, either.. I think it’s only been a few days since I was here, and suddenly it’s 3 months, and then my stupid brain just goes ‘welp, you’ve been gone so long, look at how much everyone’s moved on without you, sucks to suck’ essentially, and it’s just.. uuuuhu, I wish I knew how to read where I stand with some of you, because I’m so sorry I’m chaotic with my activity.. I really don’t mean to be.. but I feel like I’m back to square one, where I was always worried about everyone forgetting about me again.

I don’t want to make it seem like I’m just grabbing for pity either, and I hate that I even have to make posts like this because why do I have to be so dumb all the time?

I might as well go on hiatus with this blog.

I make my muses look like jokes compared to the source material.

I suck at fight RP threads, yet all these big monsters do most of the time is FIGHT.

I’m not even good at making my muses have logical points in their arguments with one another.

I just feel like there’s lots of other blogs doing a much better job at portraying their takes on their muses than I do.

I bet I won’t be missed.

Stop sleeping on Levi

StoP SLEEPING ON LeVI

STOP SLEEPING ON LEVI

STO—

He's the GRAND ADMIRAL of DEVILDOM'S NAVY

HE'S LOGICAL

HE'S LOYAL

AND HE'S CUTE

He is NOT just some "ú‐úwù I'm sowwy, m-master" Otaku and Y'ALL SEEM TO FORGET THAT

Sure fam, he loves to play video games and watch anime, but BRO at least he DOES HIS COLLEGE CLASSES

Honestly? He's probably the easiest to talk to out of all my muses! Sure, humans are weird, but you know what? Mention something about an anime! Say you like a game! Get excited with him!! He's the Avatar of ENVY! GET ALL JEALOUS OVER SOME FIGURINES! MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE HE BELONGS!!!

The reason he's so fucking depressed is because PEOPLE ONLY SEE HIM AS AN OTAKU, AND NOT WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE WHEN YOUR BROTHERS INTRODUCE YOU AS "THE HARD CORE OTAKU"? THEY ONLY CALL YOU A SHUT-IN? THEY MAKE FUN OF WHAT YOU LIKE???

RESPECT MY BOY OR I'LL GET THE CHANCLAS

Have I recently became a Leviathan fucker? No! I still don't really like him! Which means this is getting RIDICULOUS

// Okay, I’m gonna delete this in a bit, but I need to get it off of my chest. (Under the cut if you’re willing to read an entire essay (bit of an exaggeration) dedicated to every reason why I hate Post-2010 Konami)

Oh, do I have some tea for you, my dudes.

So, Grimoire of Souls. I’ve made a couple of posts on it before, but I’m gonna say it again: it’s a fucking cashgrab designed to say “Fuck you, og cv fans.”

You know what I (and possibly other people) want? Demon Castle Wars.

It’s been emphasized to be a really important plot point in the original timeline, yet they’ve dedicated no time in explaining why, yet here they are making a damn pay to win mobile game in an attempt to satisfy fans.

Also would like to take this time to address that mobile games that tear at your heartstrings like this are the reason that we lose actual wonderfully complicated stories like Silent Hills and what could have been a better MGSV.

I said it once, and I’ll say it again: Fuck you, Konami.

Sincerely, your brutally honest mun, Munnie Chan
