Can i just say how much i love your holiday aesthetics on how like different they are- not just with the colors but like the difference in culture and feel? Can you like explain your thoughts on each holiday?!!
First off- Thank you! <3 Seriously they are a joy to make and i’m kicking off more important things i definitely should be doing to make this one :3 But i love doing them! And to the next part- oh christ. I put things in pictures os i don’t have to word them but i’ll buzz word it out.
So here Elemental Holiday aesthetics summed up:
Crystalline Gala: Refined celebration, Ballet dancers on grand stages, Ice dancing in congregations to violins and cellos, Beauty to be seen not touched, Children collecting snowflakes on tongues, Ice sculptures standing at every corner, Ball dancing slowly in the snow, Icy drinks and desserts enjoyed in private, Quietly blessing frost on windows.
Trickmurk Circus: Dark bold colours worn by all, Circus tops not marquee’s, clown make-up meant to charm and disturb, magicians and gymnasts filling the streets, Strong men and women with beards conspiring over drinks, Children giggling and whispering promising mischief, Circus music echoing night and day rippling chills down spines.
Mistral Jamboree: Flying kites at dawn, Floating parades, Singing folk songs round fires, Bunting of rags and rich cloths wrapped round trees, People breezing past one another to reach hill tops, Floaty robes and dresses to dance away in, Gleeful flutes and clinking wind chimes playing in the distance, Boating down rivers floating candles besides you.
Wavecrest Saturnalia: Fishing deep into the night, flower lei’s and seaweed skirts, Grand sandcastles decorated greatly, Greeting maven as kin and swimming alongside them, walking hand-in-hand down beaches collecting shells, Steel pan bands joyously giving life to crowds, Diving off cliffs with friends and foe, Trident jousting.
Greenskeeper Gathering: Helping farmers pick fruits in newly weaved baskets, Flower crowns on children dancing round maypoles, creating effigy’s from plants and lighting them on fire to ripen the soil below, Offering’s off giant vegetables, Large bands with lutes and guitars playing into the day, Kissing under mistletoe in doorways, The young and the old hedge trimming and creating topiaries together.
Brightshine Jubilee: Large masquerades welcoming different crowds to different doors, Poor dressing royally in donated outfits from richer people, Gold-dripping dancers, venetian masks and thickly painted faces, lighting circles of candles outside homes, Marigold’s in hair and sunflowers in pockets, Trumpets and horns announcing every arrival.
Thundercrack Carnivale: Contrasts of the hard working and the never working, Science shows of ingenious inventions, Technology harnessing energy from the air, Night time carnival, Bright flashing outfits, Glitchy techno-like music bouncing underground in secret, Glowing jewellery and sparking boots, Power surge’s flickering neon lights.
Flameforger’s Festival: FIRE EATERS, Street barbecue’s for one and all, Burning passion from every soul, Jazzy people swaying in hidden rooms, Bellowing laughter and drumming music bouncing off walls, fireworks exploding through the air, Salsa dancing at night, People clothed in reds and oranges with large feathers and great trains.
Starfall Celebration: Lovers, friends, and families all gathered to star gaze at night, Wishing upon every flash of light, Mages brewing together under the moonlight, Runes painted on walls and cheeks, Priests and Priestess’ chanting hauntingly to the Arcanist.
Riot of Rot: Disguising yourself as diseased and ill, Youth adorning dark masks and creating chaos, Loud punchy music played all around to make walls of noise, Protesting anything and everything, Anarchy in the streets but safety in homes, blood stained flags flying out every window.
Rockbreaker’s Ceremony: Gowns and crowns garnished with gems, Children playing with Marbles, Singing and mining down cavernous mines, Playing hopscotch in streets and jumping over cracks in the path, Exchanging rocks for ornaments, Couples skipping stones on water, Forging decorations in furnaces.
