Дыгъэгъазэ — адыгэхэм я япэрей махуэщӀхэм ящыщ, дыгъэгъазэм и 22 махуэм. МахуэщӀым и цӀэми хуэдэм зытеухуар дыгъэгъазэращ, жэщыр нэхъ щӀыхь дыдэу илъэсым щекӀуэкӀыр.

Дыгъэгъазэ (Созрэш) - один из древнейших черкесских праздников, отмечается 22 декабря. Этот праздник связан с зимним Солнцестоянием - когда продолжительность ночи самая длинная.

Digagaze (Sozerash) is one of the most ancient circassian holiday, which is celebrated on the twenty-second of December. This holiday is connected with winter solstice, it means the longest night.

Today of the 22nd of December, we are reminded that we Circassians also HAD an ancient tradition of celebrating the Winter Digheghaze [Winter Solstice]

Our Circassian ancestors believed that the Constellation (Вагъуэбэ) sinks down to Earth, causing it to freeze over, and forcing the Sun(-Goddess) to go back home. On “Digheghaze”, the Constellation begins to depart from Earth, and the Sun begins its return journey, bringing back its warmth. This is the belief regarding the apparent movement of the sun, as it reaches its lowest point in the sky and starts to rise up – a particularly propitious occasion for an agrarian-pastoral society.

Sophie you sent me an ask but it is not showing up on my computer and not letting me answer it on my phone (although I have tried a few times so sorry if it shows up eventually) 

Were those numbers for the ask meme or the art meme??

marshal-trahearne: Yeah I’m glad Stanley’s character is the type to do that because there is no way Al would be aware of it or bring it up (maybe for blackmail but the party cohesion isn’t that bad)

My thinking was that Al has been there the whole time so he knows nothings really going on (or likely doesn't give a shit, given that it's Al)

Honestly I don't think it would work as blackmail for anything, Ryket would just be really embarrassed and go into the super denial stage all "BOYFRIEND?!?! I hardly even know this guy! You can barely say we're even friends!" and then hurt Egbaul's feelings and you know how it goes :P

It's surprising that we have party members who don't get along but somehow respect each other enough to stay together.

mad-king-thorn: "Idk, but have you ever seen a naturally red headed black woman. Cause I haven’t" has op ever seen a frickin mermaid. Although they do seem that Europe is some land of 100% white people with no connections with the rest of the world

lol yeah seriously I don't get it 

every other sentence is "(insert European country here) is white so that's why this character is white"

mad-king-thorn: ALSO I JUST NOTICED THAT THEY SAID POCAHONTAS HAD “INDIAN FEATURES” WAY2GO NERDBABIES

Ryket- 1, 15, 20, 25, 60

oooh yay I was hoping I could answer questions about Ryket since I don’t talk about her much (at least on tumblr)

1. Favorite color?

She hasn’t really thought about it too much and would answer ‘black’ in an offhand way. But if she thought about it, probably a dark purple. 

15. What makes her angry?

LOL what doesn’t make her angry? Um, she actually really hates being ignored which probably contributes to her being loud and obnoxious all the time. 

Also Los makes her angry. Very, very angry, along with pelikenku. 

She gets mad when people are better than her at being sneaky because she’s petty like that. She also doesn’t like people who are too full of themselves (like Isaan, and she sees rich lady who she tried to kill like that too [I can’t remember her name hahaha…])

20. Favorite kind of pizza?

Not going to lie, she would like the weird flavors of pizza. She’d order with pineapples and anchovies and scoff at people who ate just cheese and pepperoni. :P

25. What time of year does she prefer?

In my head, the Shadowfell doesn’t really have seasons, so they’re pretty new to Ryket and I don’t even think she’s been in this realm long enough for the seasons to change lol. I think she’d like spring best since it is not too hot but not as barren and lifeless as winter (which would remind her of the Shadowfell)

60. Does she enjoy nature?

Well. She doesn’t hate it? But she would much rather be in an urban setting. She has never had to hunt for her own food and she doesn’t like bugs very much. 

Besides, last time the party was camping the river tried to take her clothes.
