Standing at the entrance to your hotel is a worker offering handouts to guests. You look down at the contents. A lot of it is information that went out through the website and the ball's social media pages, but it's nice and handy to have it all in one place.

As you wait in line to be checked in, you glance over the different sections of the handout, one of which is labeled "History of Summer Sunset."

Summer Sunset has been observed for as long as Lucis has been a kingdom. Presumably, its name carries a double meaning: a literal nod to the abundance of light during the summer, and a figurative farewell to or "sunsetting" of the season as fall approaches.

Under the Founder King, Somnus Lucis Caelum, Summer Sunset became a formalized period of celebration, during which Lucians would herald the coming change of seasons. Offerings and prayers were made to the Astrals to thank them for the warmth and light of the summer, as well as to pray for a plentiful fall harvest going into the chillier months. Offerings ranged from crops, to wine, to livestock, to hunting game.

Gradually, the celebration began to evolve and expand into both a religious and communal affair. Offerings were chiefly made to the Astrals, but small agricultural communities also began to share their bounties with each other. People would cook with their shared harvests and share the results of their handiwork. Presumably, the tradition of the farmer's market is rooted in this historical practice.

Over time, dance emerged as a tradition to celebrate the coming harvest in addition to farming and food. Traditional folk dances in community centers gradually evolved into large, jovial celebrations with live music, food, drink, singing, and dancing. Lucian nobility eventually co-opted this tradition, and it became the royal ball that is still hosted in the modern day. Historically, the royal ball has been rather exclusive based on social status, but today the ball is more open to guests of a wide variety of births and statuses. The tradition of folk dance is still kept alive in communities outside of the Crown City.

Different practices are more prevalent in different regions of Lucis. Depending on where you celebrate, Summer Sunset may look like a very different holiday, but its core values of transition, celebration, and prosperity are constant throughout the kingdom.

favorite pokemon picker

tagged by: @scarescraper tagging: all my pokemon rpc mutuals. all of you.

A few notes on how I filled this out under the cut for those who care / are interested, because I don't rlly wanna relegate that to the tags:

I tried to fill out every possible square. Blank squares just mean "yeah I don't really care about any of the options here"

As far as picking Pokémon for a generation, I tried not to pick megas / gigantamaxes / etc over actual true new species from that gen unless I really didn't prefer any of those options over said mega. Like mega Audino. I think I like that design more than any of the new normal types gen 6 got.

Any one Pokémon being on the chart nine times outta ten represents its entire evolution line. For example, Goodra is on there, but that doesn't mean I like Goomy less. For some like Paldean Wooper and Clodsire, it came down to "this evo line is my favorite poison type and ground type, so I'll just put one evo stage in one category and the other in the other"

For some of these, it came down to "do I like this one more as a representative of the category it's in." Like, I think I like Clodsire and its offspring more generally as Pokémon, but as a "gimmick form," I think Poltchageist / Sinistcha are a little more interesting, and I like the funny matcha ghost a lot so it needed representation somewhere on the grid.

My all time favorite honestly changes depending on the day of the week. Tomorrow I might have put Jirachi there. Next week it might be Clodsire. Have I mentioned I really like Clodsire? Clodsire is a perfect specimen. I have so much recency bias. Fight me

For Spinda I hit random until I got a nice looking one and then stopped because who the fuck has a favorite arrangement of spots on a Spinda

& PERHAPS THERE IS A HEART HERE, hovering suspended in the abyss of his being. but hollowness is a hungry thing that consumes. when it has had its fill (will you it ever be satiated?), what is left in the wake of an incomplete boy? / ©

[heartbinders]

PROMPTO. There is a kitty cat that looks strikingly like a certain Advisor trotting towards you. So prim, so proper! What shall you do!?

KITTIES || @tenebriism

Oh, dear — a weak spot! Prompto's fondness for animals! And as any animal-lover knows, you've scored big if a cat walks up to you. His expression melts with fondness, and he kneels down to pet the cat. He'll scoop him up if the cat lets him.

❝ Aww — hey there, little guy! Where'd you come from, huh? ❞ he coos, scratching the cat behind the ears. ❝ Hmm...no collar, huh? You got a home? Wonder if I should ask around... ❞

A thoughtful pause, before a sunny smile settles back onto his face. ❝ Well, worst case, we set up camp not too far from here. I could take you back, and when the rest of the guys get back, we can get some food in ya. ❞

Blissfully unaware, it seems.

What chess piece represents you?

White bishop.

There is something you believe in, be it an oath, a phrase, a promise. It's what keeps the bishop on the diagonal path it takes on the board. You live by this creed and infect others with it. You are empathetic, able to feel others' pain like it's your own, and offer advice or help to them. But be careful, because every bleeding heart runs out of blood eventually. Every leader crumbles to the next generation eventually.

Black king.

You are the most important piece on the board, often called the weakest. But you are not weak in terms of tradition and status. The king gives orders to others, ensures difficult tasks are done, and makes the hardest decisions. Yes, the king's movement is weak but in every other aspect, they are strong and important, for it is them that the game is fought for, to begin with. You rule with an iron fist, making the hard decisions that others won't, the only one to ever see the full picture. Be careful, my dear king, for there are reasons kings are overthrown. You know what you do is right, now you must convince your entire kingdom. Stay aware, my king.

He knew he had to keep up — he couldn't be dead weight, especially not on Zack. But he lied to himself for as long as he could until his body simply wouldn't allow him to anymore: those last few monsters that had lashed out at them did a number on him.

Cloud pulled his helmet off as Zack jogged back to where he had fallen behind, averting his gaze, kind though Zack's eyes were. He couldn't stand to look him in the face. He was slowing them down. They would have to stop because of him.

Or Zack would carry him. That caused Cloud's gaze to snap right back up to meet Zack's — because honestly, he couldn't decide which fate was more embarrassing.

His mouth hung slightly open, waiting for words to come out. He sort of wished he had just sucked it up and not complained, because a break would slow them down even more, but being carried would make him a literal dead weight on top of a figurative one. And he couldn't exactly say "nah, never mind" now. Not while Zack looked at him like that.

❝ You don't — need to carry me. ❞ The part of Cloud's mind that formed speech gradually sputtered back to life. ❝ I'll be fine if I can just, uh...lean on you for a little. ❞
