December 21st, 2023 - Diya no Yaru (Holiday)

Ichowan holiday for the shortest day of the year. They believe that if you go outside on this day, you will become a ghost. Observed by staying inside all day, ESPECIALLY at night, and praying that you will not be taken in your sleep. Offerings of raw meat may be left outside the front and/or back door.

Sinnohans are most likely to observe this holiday, as it is their heritage. Tag posts with "diya no yaru" to be seen! @ichowan may reblog posts - you can ask them in character things or subwayjoltik ooc

what's ichowan for dirt

that would be tora (to - ra)

it's dirt, the earth, soil... all of that. it also means "brown" or "dirt color"

thank you very much for asking. i do highly encourage people to ask about the language, it gives me an excuse to write it

So what exactly is zuna no toredia all about?

lilligant, mostly. usually a female-based holiday but like. anyone can participate.

day 1's all about planning the festivities. lilligant's warden chooses some helpers and they camp at her arena. modernly people also spend this day honoring the wardens (why you have to be nice to ingo)

day 2 is a lot of harvesting personal plants (all the fields would be done by then) and fasting. only supposed to eat vegan food at night too. of course, if you cant fast or sustain on vegan food you just eat normally (i always get asked about that)

day 3 people bring offerings to the arena to be blessed with any form of fertility. and people eat vegan in the day.

woah it's *the* fox fanatic. well here's a special one for you.

there's a special myth about a zoroark-like beast that follows travellers, waiting to gobble them up if they trip. if you arrive safe you have to say thank you and leave out meat, though.

ichowans actually have like 7 genders, though some of them were made to describe pokemon
