#new symbol for the new year

[felucians]

Seeing a lot of TikTok misinformation on 12 Uvas (12 Grapes on New Years).

While the tradition varies from country to country, there are a few general rules to follow that I know people from Spain and Latin America partake in. I'll list them here.

Rule 1)

You can't wear an old red thing, it has to be new - for the new year.

Rule 2)

The red thing has to be underwear and other red things can be added to this but you must have the new red underwear for the tradition.

Rule 3)

Non-Spanish/Non-Hispanic/Non-Latinos shouldn't be changing or altering the tradition as an outsider! You can still partake in it but please don't change our tradition into something different (which is why I'm making this post).

Rule 4)

Under the table is optional, but if you are, go under at 11:58pm, eat the grapes at 00:00-00:01. Exit from under the table as soon as you're done.

Rule 5)

No 5 second rule. No dropping the grapes. If they fall, it ruins it. To help avoid this, use a bowl or a skewer.

Rule 6)

I don't know who made some people ask if it would work for their race as any minority but it works for all races provided you do the tradition respectfully and correctly (as outsiders to it, insiders may have their own altered traditions based on family and place).

Rule 7)

No, you don't need a specific grape color. BUT I recommend using red/purple grapes as it's closer to the red underwear tradition.

Rule 8)

You must eat all the grapes before the clock finishes chiming the New Year in. If you don't, it simply means you've missed out on extra luck this year.

Rule 9)

Whole grapes, not slices. Be careful to avoid choking though! Make sure this tradition has at least one other person around you for safety reasons.

Rule 10)

Enjoy partaking in our culture during New Year! Anyone can participate and I encourage anyone who would like to, however please do it correctly and don't change our tradition.

¡Another thing to note is the Red Underwear is a separate tradition to 12 Uvas! ¡Both traditions originate in Spanish culture and spread throughout Latin America!

Próspero Año Nuevo 🪅

I know we were mostly joking about the british government pulling an elaborate Weekend At Bernie's coverup but is it weird I'm starting to genuinely get my hopes up?

#i keep telling myself it's gonna be THIS YEAR #THIS YEAR that one more major symbol of british imperialism finally steps into the grave #and most days that gives me something to look forward to! #but also i am. already stressed out thinking about the way it's going to litter my news feed for months

Reunite with your crush ✅

Transcript:

Renee: [runs to hug him] You…I am never letting you out of my sight! Vincent: Oof. Hey there, slow down! Let me see your beautiful face [kisses her]

Renee: God, Vince I was so worried! Why didn't you tell me you were hospitalised? Why were you- Vince: Yeah uhh that. [changes topics] You see, I messaged you but this damn phone I don't know why. [Vincent shows Renee his unread messages and Renee gets notifications from him] What the hell?

Renee: The same thing happened with your Mum's phone…but we'll sort all that out later- [Maybe it's a habit but Vincent looks around the place for anything suspicious. It all looks normal] Renee: Hey look at me, everything's ok. [worry in her eyes] So why were you in hospital?

Vincent: [sighs and mumbles to himself] I don't really like talking about it. Renee: You don't have to tell me everything if you're not ready, but you were in hospital Vince. Hospital. Vincent: You're right…I've had heart complications [deep breath] since I was a kid. I had surgery.

Renee: Babe you had surgery! Heart complications!? [hugs even tighter] Why didn't you tell me? Vincent: No please don't worry Renee. It was only a small operation [quietly] it's not as serious as the firsttime. It all went well and I'm stronger than ever. I just need a few more weeks to recover then I'll be all better.

Vincent: I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I didn't want you to worry, you know about my past and family…[hesitates then kisses her] and I want you to know how special you are to me. I love you Renee Renee: I love you too Vince [starting to get teary eyed] I will always love you.

Happy new year!!

Maybe 2023 was a good or a bad year for many of you, but it's all about learning in the end. Things happen for a reason, and if it happened that way it was because it had to be that way. The new year is the new beginning you give to yourself. Is your chance to turn your goals into reality, so start by creating and achieving your objectives little by little. And remember, nothing is impossible, and never accept criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from.

ok so given that pandorica radio (part one at least) is my thesis project and so has to be completed before december, i had to do a lot of reworking to get it to a point where it was something i could reasonably do within like. seven months. and while i was super bummed about it at first im so so so happy with how the final form of this is turning out :-)) i love working on pandorica and im so excited for everybody to see part one soon!!!!

#text! #thesis tag #the hare metaphor wasnt even in the first version. what would i be without the hare metaphor. #anyways i cant wait for this to be my career #so so lucky to be in a place where i can do this and be supported the whole time by people near and far from me #thank you as always for your care and your time <33 #also! i dont have a set date yet but im planning on publishing pandorica publically in jan 2024 :-)) #symbolically entering my professional career in the new year blah blah blah

[horde-princess]

no one look at me i'm thinking about save the cat and how adora must have felt like she was looking into a mirror, with the way catra's behavior under prime's brainwashing was so much like her own when she was a cadet in the horde -- obedient soldier, blind to her friend's distress, faith in the horde (aka the church) above all else. how fighting catra that day must've felt like adora was wrestling with her younger self, trying desperately to save both of them from the horde's control and make amends in some way for how that young traumatized girl hurt her best friend before she ever could have known better. she was fighting catra but she was fighting with her own guilt and trauma and that's how you know catra's "you broke my heart" hit her like a ton of bricks. because she was seeing their relationship a bit through catra's eyes, almost like they had switched places and now adora was the heartbroken one unable to reach through her friend's indoctrination. you could even say that in being brainwashed catra also got a glimpse of adora's perspective and why she abandoned her.

LIKE HELLO ????? TELL ME how nd stevenson was able to convey this incredibly complex point of understanding they had reached with each other without the need for dialogue or ANYTHING are you kidding me? its just pure symbolism bro pure narrative. no "i forgive yous," no excessive apologies... just a promise to go home. ive been saying this forever but adora fell in love with catra because she inspired her to rebel against authority and 5x05 explores how saving her from the horde was always intrinsically tied to adora loving and saving herself.

rewatch the ep and think about it ok just think about-

#ill be 80 years old and still finding new things to analyze about save the cat #she ra #meta #religious meta #(this whole post is about religious symbolism if you squint)

Just learned that Gol D. Roger was born on December 31. That's insane. You're telling me the man who was too early to bring the dawn was born on fucking New Year's Eve?????

#there is some INSANE symbolism in one piece #the whole story is about a world WAITING for the dawn of a new age and the guy who was too early. #the predecessor. the one who left a legacy to be followed. was born on NEW YEARS EVE #one piece #gol d. roger #im normal im normal i promise

-Happy Easter..💛

#hi! so.... I'm going to say something different today. just so you don't ““insult”” me and say that I say the same thing every year!/j #for those who don't know. both the bunny and the chocolate egg have a true and also christian meaning! #being that of the egg: “eggs symbolize rebirth and renewal. which makes them perfect for celebrating the story of jesus’ resurrection.” #and the bunny: “the animal was associated with easter because it reproduces quickly and symbolizes fertility and new life.” #(I took this two from a google search. being it in the PORTUGUESE version. so I just translated it. #if you want to look for it in real english. look for it!) #so... it's okay if you want to give someone a chocolate egg or something like that. give a stuffed bunny to a child or someone too. #because there's really no problem #not only because of the real meaning. but there is no reason not to give as a gift something that is also special for that day. #and it's also cute gifts! #just.. DON'T MAKE IT A “SORRY EXCUSE” TO NOT CELEBRATE WHAT THE HOLIDAY REALLY IS! #which is the resurrection of christ! who died on the cross for all of us. ok!? #and yeah.. well. I'm leaving! I hope you have a great day and a blessed easter!! love you all!💛 #happy easter #easter #easter art #i'm mel and this is my blog✌️ #my art blog #art #my art #my art <3 #art mel #my art style #my oc character #mel creator #resurrection of jesus #resurrection of christ #bible verse

honestly they were disrespectful to themselves. they let it get completely out of hand for a MONTH. the palace did this to themselves

yeah... look nobody will get me to agree with people being like 'conspiracy theorists have gone too far' 'you've all been disrespectful towards catherine' 'there was never a reason for any of this' 'you should be ashamed for what you said' etc etc etc. because like... first of all, again, i hold zero respect for these people. why the fuck should i. but even if i did... it's their own fucking fault???? the fuck?????? lmao?????????? literally only a handful of people gave a fuck until that doctored photo. and then they just kept making it worse. and i'm sorry but i actually don't think they're entitled to their privacy when their entire job is pr and they're blatantly lying in all their pr shit like ? what else are you good for lol. but then that also makes me angry because as much as i don't like kate for several reasons i'm still a bit genuinely offended at her behalf for how they've handled all this shit.. like making her take the blame for the photoshop (i hope for her sake it was her own idea, because otherwise........), having her appear alone in the video announcing her cancer (why tf isn't william there when she's talking about how he's by her side lmao), the general just lack of giving a fuck about anything whilst the world went wild theorising about her.... i can't tell whether she's taking the fall to cover for something else or if they're just all absolute assholes ?? again like. i don't like kate middleton. for many reasons. but i like william and charles a whole lot less and it's infuriating that they're making me feel like she's been wronged lmao

#im not even SUPER anti royalty #i mean i think its fucking stupid and serves no purpose #but a lot of countries have royals who really are Just figureheads #and if that was all the british royal family was then whatever #i mean theyre still a horrible symbol of colonialism and general racism #but like it doesn't really matter that they're there #EXCEPT it kinda does because they still have way too much social power #like idgaf about the norwegian royal family but at least they're like. normal. hell they even fly commercial #which im sure is a pr thing but i do appreciate it #like nobody cares about them in norway but i don't think anyone dislikes them either? #because they just do Nothing #theres a speech at christmas/new years and a wave at constitution day and thats literally it #they show up to events but its so casual #i feel like the british royal family could do this so easily but they insist on doing things like a coronation that costs millions of pound #like????????? #oh my god #again. dont give a fuck about royals in any country. but come on. #if youre gonna exist at least just be like. a figurehead. and stop being fucking weird. #answered

yknow limbo works as such a fantastic complement to guda in the sense that both are lesser versions of their contemporaries but guda succeeds where limbo doesn't because guda is more of a nobody than limbo is. limbo is the villain meant to be defeated by abe no seimei and always exists solely in service to that role as the empty rumor of hatred that a rival holds a mere glory kill and thus limbo has never once won in his life, he is called the most pathetic human by koyanskaya because he is fundamentally incapable of change. guda in a similar vein is also the only master left at the start of the grand order and thus the only option available to save humanity, and multiple times throughout fgo gudas lack of experience is called out, culminating in the lostbelt arc where guda is guilt tripped about their journey by koyanskaya and kadoc insults them by saying that if guda could have done it, then feasibly the rest of team A even he himself could have also done it. what kadoc and the rest failed to understand there though is that. yeah, that's literally the point.

the thing is that even when drowned in the guilt of ending the lives of the people in the lostbelts, guda still does want to live. they may be fucked up with the sheer amount of curses and promises that their soul carries, they may be slowly turning into some kind of inhuman being, but guda at the end of the day really just wants to live, wants to keep going on adventures with the people they love, wants to remain human, and in that desire they stay human despite the fact. limbo was able to break ashiya doumans spirit with the simple admission that he would never surpass seimei, that all of his efforts would be for naught and despite his position and accomplishments, he would never be able to match or surpass the rival he loved even once, doomed to a legacy of being nothing more than the shadow that followed a great man. guda on the other hand was perfectly fine being the forgotten hero of the grand order simply because it would mean that romani’s sacrifice wouldn’t have been in vain. it didn’t matter if the rest of the world would never know of their journey, because They knew, and the memories they made are far more precious than any recognition of such. limbo may not know or understand love but even then he doesn't really know what he wants either aside from a vague understanding of a need for importance, and ultimately limbo wants the name ashiya douman to mean something more than just that of the rival abe no seimei once had to cut down, filled himself with various gods and curses and names because he literally just wants to be loved in some way

guda reached their hand out to mash when she was dying and apologized because they knew mash wanted to live, and abe no seimei did the same when the pitiful ashiya douman had attempted to take his own life in despair at the thought of his own evil. limbo may not know love but at the very least, he’s taken his first step in wanting to understand it by watching gudas own path to hell. at the very least, limbo wants to reach hell alongside them. if guda could do it, if guda could reach out their hand in the face of their inevitable meaningless death, then surely the caster of limbo might be able to change as well

#fgo #fate grand order #zerav meta #limbo #guda #the double meanings.... guda is literally paired with a beast thats veiled in literal black and white symbolism #this post brought to you by 'the gudalimbo tags on pixiv and twt are going insane ever since guda got that new years outfit' #and users like you. thank you
