Thinking about so many people this holiday season. People in ED recovery. People who haven’t started their ED recovery yet. People with sensory issues around food. People with unwanted dietary restrictions and intolerances and allergies. “Picky eaters.” You are valid, you are loved, you are capable, you are strong. I hope you are able to find joy and delight this year in your meals. Wishing you all the best. ❤️

Thank you for every person who wished me a Happy Christmas. I maybe did not reply but I really needed it.
I think I'll have some hot cocoa as well.
Happy Holidays!

Baiona singing Mikel Laboa's - and unofficial Basque anthem - Txoria txori is so moving and impressive.
Mikel Laboa recorded it in 1974, at the end of Franco's dictatorship, but the lyrics are a poem that Joxean Artze wrote in 1957, in the middle of Franco's dictatorship:
Hegoak ebaki banizkio
If I had cut his/her wings
nerea izango zen
(s)he would be mine
ez zuen alde egingo.
(s)he would not have left.
Bainan, honela,
But, that way,
ez zen gehiago txoria izango
(s)he would no longer be a bird
Eta nik...
and I...
txoria nuen maite.
I loved the bird.
Like all poems, it has many levels: it can refer to the relationship we have with nature and animals, our idea of possession and beauty, our relationship with loved ones, and with the situation of the Basque language and people in times of dictatorship.
The poet himself admitted that he marveled at the number of different interpretations people made of his verses. However it is interpreted, it is a true anthem for Basque people as you can see and hear. Love iiiiit!!!

Simril
Masterlist - BG3 masterlist
Notes: a little something I had in mind thinking about the holidays approaching slowly but surely ☺️
Words: 1022
Warnings: fluff
Summary: Simril was not only an annual winter festival celebrated along the Sword Coast but also the perfect opportunity to gain new clients for a certain devil. That was until you entered his life...
Tumblr media
The sun had set and the festivities of Simril had engulfed the entire city of Baldur's Gate with a magical aura, bringing joy and cheer to the hearts of its inhabitants. It was an evening filled with laughter, merriment, and the promise of the blessing received upon finding the lucky star on the clouded sky. As the celebrations unfolded, the city became a playground of different coloured lanterns, merry tunes and enchantment. Raphael, adorned in his typical formal attire, was casually strolling through the streets during this festive day. He would wander through the bustling streets, keeping an eye out for potential clients and his so-called business opportunities. However, on this particular Simril, fate had something else in store for him.
Unbeknownst to Raphael, someone had been observing him, studying his every move. It was you, the mysterious figure lurking with in the shadows, a mischievous smile painted across your face. Since you got to know the devil, you always thought that he was way too focused on gaining souls, signing contracts, never truly embracing the tempting pleasures of his nature. So, of course, you had devised a plan, daring and audacious as you usually were according to your devil, to capture Raphael's attention and demanded a favour from one of his more noble debtors. As you caught sight of Raphael meandering along a bustling road, you couldn't resist any longer. With a swift and confident stride, you approached him, taking his arm and leading him away from the noisy crowd.
"What in the nine hells?", Raphael cursed, slightly bewildered, yet willingly complying with your guidance, captivated by your audacity.
You guided him through a myriad of hidden passages, until you arrived at a secluded courtyard adorned with exquisite decorations. The air was filled with the delightful fragrance of heated wine and the faint echoes of a minstrel's tune. In the center, a bonfire crackled, casting captivating shadows that danced around the surroundings. With a mischievous sparkle in your eyes, you presented Raphael with a cup of warm, spiced wine.
"Join me," you whispered, your voice carrying a note of invitation, "sit with me by the fire, let the music fill the night and let us enjoy ourselves."
Intrigued, Raphael complied, settling down next to you on a cushioned seat. The bard's melodies filled the air, wrapping the courtyard in a blanket of tender notes.
Tumblr media
"If I am not mistaken, and I rarely am, this particular courtyard belongs to one of my debtors," Raphael calmly remarked, "and that bard over there recently signed his contract with me."
You delicately sipped your wine, avoiding his piercing gaze. Uncertainty filled your mind as you pondered whether this could potentially mark your final day on this mortal plane, condemned to be dragged down to the depths of hell for your transgressions. Although, there remained a tiny glimmer of hope that you might escape punishment for borrowing two of his clients for your own purposes. As you drained the last remnants of your wine, the devil snapped his fingers, conjuring two handwritten notes that ominously hovered before you.
"I do believe that is your handwriting," he declared, his fingers gently finding your chin and tilting your head upward to examine the notes, "And my signature, which, if I may say so myself, appears rather convincingly authentic."
You hummed, eyes darting to Raphael's unreadable expression. Deep within you, a sense of fear began to rise as he stood up, reaching out to lift you from the bench. His strong fingers curled around your neck, his piercing gaze digging into the depths of your soul. Even in his human form, his aura exuded authority and danger, reminding you of who he truly was.
"My little mouse", Raphael sighed, unable to hide a little smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "I can't decide whether to be angry or proud of your audacious escapades."
"I'd prefer the latter", you offered, attempting to conceal your mounting anxiety, "after all it was all in favour of you relaxing for once."
"I bet you do, little mouse", the devil laughed, his mind lingering on the last part of your statement.
As the fire flickered, casting a warm glow on your face, he suddenly was all to aware of how effortlessly you succeeded at wiggling your way into his heart. He couldn't deny that he had grown rather fond of you, for reasons that would forever elude him, you had chosen to stick by his side and help him without any contract or asking anything in return. The memories of how he huffed in sheer disbelief as you claimed that you simply liked him were still as fresh as the day they were forged. No mortal had ever demonstrated such unwavering loyalty, not to him nor, he would stake his wretched soul on it, to any other devil in the infernal realms. And yet here you were, going through all the trouble and danger to ensure he would have one evening to enjoy himself. Raphael leaned in, pressing his lips on yours in a tender kiss, muffling your surprised gasp. To hell with all that meant being a devil, his mind urged him. Under the spell of the enchanting atmosphere, Raphael allowed himself to embrace his humanity, if only for this night. He resolved that there was more to existence than the relentless pursuit of souls—at least for this fleeting moment.
A wistful smile formed on your lips as you broke the kiss, your eyes sparkling with pure happiness and Raphael couldn't tear his gaze away from you. His little mouse, a potential client who became his unlikely ally and, if he'd had any say in the matter, would become even more in the days to come. You suddenly jumped away, looking up to the sky, gasping as your hands found his, fingers intertwining with his.
"I found my lucky star", you giggled, "do devils have a lucky star?"
"No", Raphael chuckled, "but I have a suspicion that this particular one just might", he whispered, a faint smile playing on his lips as he kept his eyes locked on your silhouette.

Tales are told of a Percht wandering the world, who loves the excited cheers of smart and inquisitive children. Those who draw his eye are visited by him in the cold hours of morning. Cloaked in ivy and smelling of ink, he gifts the young and studious, tomes and booklets to read.
His reading material can vary; from small volumes and penny dreadfulls, to massive almana and deep novels. However, no matter what Klammus may give you, it is said that whatever is written inside will grant you the most important lesson that you will ever learn.

What would you see Mario and Peach wearing to an event like the annual Mushroom Ball?
Hnnnnngh the possibilities!! 💓
Well, first of all they would need to match since they would obviously go as "dates". So that means they would wear harmonized colors and patterns no matter what the exact theme is. 😍 There's a wild variety of gowns Peach could wear to a special event like this one, each more mesmerizing and lovely than the last, but the model I keep seeing in my mind would be long and flowy. Almost fairy-like! 😊
As for Mario, it would be a stylish and elegant ensemble, subtly adorned with intricate tailoring and sleeve buttons. Pleated trousers and brand new shoes would be included in the new look. ;3 But out of all potential options, if there's one piece of clothing for men that I'm EXTREMELY partial to (and which would be an absolute must here), it's the waistcoat. 😩💘 I'm- SO weak for its classy and somewhat rustic vibe, I just think it suits Mario perfectly. 😭💯

Chinese Lantern Festival
I thought of participating (at least in some way) in a well known Chinese tradition - celebration of the beginning of a New Year with lanterns of different shapes and forms (hanging, flying and floating ones, you name it). And since it is a Year of a Dragon and I'm in a JCA fanart era,.. you knew I had to draw my beloved Shendu)).
It is said that some lanterns bear symbols of good fortune on them while others may have riddles being hidden in their design.
"As a tradition of Chinese Lantern Festival, guessing lantern riddles is as important as eating dumplings on the day. The custom is a unique form of Chinese folk culture, showcasing people's good wishes for the new year and inspiring wisdom."
So, I had an idea to use a Sign of Fire from the second season of a show instead of traditional symbols, since Pan'ku Box was a puzzle to be solved and fire is an essential part of any existing lantern (and it is Shendu's elemental power, after all) )).
Hope you'll enjoy this picture, I had lots of fun working on it.
This is a mixed media art, you will find the part I drew in a traditional way under the cut. You can actually see how huge my eraser looks next to it, haha, but damn, do I love drawing miniatures.

Preparations for the Sant Antoni festivity in Sa Pobla, Mallorca (Balearic Islands). Video by Som illencs on Instagram.
Sant Antoni (Saint Anthony's Day, 17th January) is a traditional festivity celebrated in many parts of the Catalan Countries with different elements related to the saint, often with the story of how Saint Anthony fought the demons.
In Mallorca, the most iconic element of this holiday is the demons. Each town has its own traditional costumes and caparrots (big hollow heads to be worn) worn by the people who represent the demons, who will dance around the town to the sound of traditional music.
A few weeks before the festivity, they start preparing. In the video you can see people from Sa Pobla playing traditional music and singing a song about Saint Anthony's story while walking to the church, where the people who will be the demons next year are decided through a raffle (many people want to be the demons and there's not place to allow everyone).
