[unexpectedly-haunted]

Hi! I’m Haunted (he/him) and welcome to my Hermitcraft & Traffic SMPs sideblog! Main is @unpredictably-ghostly​ so likes/follows will be from there.

This is mostly my art and other reblogs, though I also write sometimes! My tags are #ghost art #ghost writing and #ghost post. Any ship is tagged with #trafficshipping or #hermitshipping as well as the ship name (it’s nearly all treebark).

Watching a reasonable amount of hermits for s10 including: Ren, Cub, Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Bdubs, Tango, Cleo, Gem, Zedaph, Beef, Joel, Impulse, and Skizz!

Most of this blog is about Rendog and/or InTheLittleWood, both inside and outside the Traffic series, because I watched Third Life and haven’t known peace since.

My inbox is always open (and on anon), especially for fic recommendations or art requests!

Helped make a Renchanting-centric fantasy-style AU with @/liloinkoink! The masterpost is here and check #lamplight au for more :D

More than "here in the Southern Hemisphere we have inverted seasons :)" thing, which is TECHNICALLY true, I would go a step further and encourage to think about that "much of the world does not exactly has a spring-summer-fall-winter season sequence as they show in cartoons"

[paperdragonsong]

I will scream about this to anyone who listens forever. AUSTRALIA DOES NOT HAVE "ENGLISH SEASONS BUT BACKWARDS" and the insistence that it does creates a massive layer of alienation from the natural world.

I never really realised how much difference it makes until I went to England and realised that here the change of seasons is an obvious, visible, physical change in the world. Like, everything REALLY IS orange and foggy in autumn! In spring there are flowers EVERYWHERE, so much more than any other season, and the trees really do have all blossom and no leaves. Even if it doesn't snow, in winter there's frost all the time and the trees are bare and the sky is visibly greyer all the time. You don't need to be told "this date is the first day of spring", you can SEE IT (although this is getting way messier and less precise due to climate change).

By contrast, most places in Australia the seasons we're taught feel like arbitrary categories - and is it any surprise considering they're colonial constructs? Orange-leaved autumn and blossom-covered spring is a cartoon stereotype with no relevance on a continent where ALL NATIVE TREES ARE EVERGREEN!! Snowy winters are a joke in the desert, and even sunny summers don't ring particularly true considering that much of the country is in the tropics, where summer means monsoons - not that I've ever seen the concept that WE HAVE A MONSOON SEASON taught at an Australian school.

Most Indigenous nations around Australia had six or more seasons, revolving around wet and dry times as much as hot and cold, and marked by the appearances of certain native animals and flowers. Schools need to start teaching the real seasons, and explaining that climate cycles are too complex to generalise globally, or else we will keep raising generations who view the natural world as hostile and unpredictable and climate predictions as generally irrelevent and frequently wrong - and I'm sure I don't need to spell out why that's a problem in the era of climate crisis.

i want to add that 40% of the world's population lives in the tropics, and the 4 season model just doesn't make much sense for a lot of places in there. usually it's just the wet season/monsoon season and the dry season. it's often hot year round.

the 4 season model as you and i know it is a european invention, though 4 season models aren't unique to europe! most notably china has the same type of season subdivision.

in general the way humans define seasons is largely subjective and varies across cultures. the one you were taught is not at all universal!
