#And they’re not having bar mitzvahs 😔

[rooolt]

Me solemnly listening to the falsettos songs i put on my dndads character playlists because i cant relate the jewish aspects to any of the characters

I should update my ffxiv oc lore doc a bit but I keep getting distracted by lore questions like.

ok I know the planet is called Hydaelyn in Common but she really isn’t mentioned like At All in the way that other deities etc. are. Is there Hydaelyn worship??? what does that look like. also tell me more about all the various religions and cultures dammit. we get just info enough to be interesting but not nearly enough detail about what people actually do and/or believe.

If the Qestir believe all words are lies then like I said before, I want more info about how they actually learn to communicate etc. but also that seems to be pretty hard to reconcile with the idea of working with a bunch of people. Xaela are already described as wary of outsiders and that seems like that belief would make the Qestir even MORE distrustful. Then again, we're told Reunion was created bc they couldn't get medicine for a sick kid in time (or something to that effect) and if they want to improve trade relationships with clans to prevent something like that from happening again then I guess doing it yourself is more effective than trying to hold some meeting of the clans where they just talk about it for hours on end and never actually solve anything. Despite the animosity and infighting among clans we're told about, I feel like we see an awful lot of inter-clan friendships

I feel like they mentioned at some point that linkpearls go in your ears but uh. Khaljan ain't got those so how exactly do those work anyways. I'm just imagining like, clip-on headphones that idk, keep the linkpearl pressed against the horns for the vibrations to travel or st???

I have So Many questions about how the hell Seeker of the Sun clans work bc they keep saying it's rare to have more than one Nunh in a clan and there's only ~26 clans so like unless they have "litters" I feel like the total Miqo'te population would be VANISHINGLY small.

unrelatedd but elly mentioned that Viera "reach an age of gender" and okay so a gender neutral term for bar/bat mitzvah is b'nei mitzvah so my brain was just like. bunny mitzvah.

I'm almost certain there was more lore stuff I wanted to talk about a) im tired and I forgot and b) this is already pretty long and I haven't even talked aabout the OCs yet whoops

I gotta add/remove a couple alts from the doc like ok currently in the doc:

P’molminn: Has a surname now and also needs to be listed as an alt

Rorobo Robo: I really love her but I still haven’t actually come up with anything concrete for her yet 😔  She (and everyone else) will get a new reference pic though

Trans Purr-ide: I’m not sure if they’re gonna be an OC or just a "hey check out my name" alt but I do really like them so they can stay

Effervescent Snail: I REALLY WANNA FLESH HER OUT but I haven’t looked into Roegadyn stuff At All yet

The Neytiri Miqo’te: She’s just an Avatar reference so she don’t got lore and won’t be getting none neither so I’m just gonna delete her

Not in the doc:

Tolgoun Qestir: okay so I was looking for unisex Mongolian names bc I wanted to make nem nb and I came across one romanized Dölgöön, so I tweaked the spelling to reflect what I’d probably do with my Xaelang and voila. I later realized that neir name can be shorted to “Tol” and ne’s a max height ““““male”“““ Xaela so,

Eclaileaux Cerdal: He’ll probably become an OC eventually but he’s literally just a TFA Blitzwing reference atm so it's a little weird. I’m very proud of his name though bc see I got the idea while making an Elezen so clearly he has to have a French name. Eclair=lightning and aile=wing and they combine perfectly to make Eclaile. The Elezen naming conventions are like “well its gotta end in a french suffix that ends with a silent x or t” so I just threw on -aux. Basically his name is Lightnwingz and then his surname is the last name of the guy who voiced Blitzwing for nearly all of the French dub. It’s all very silly and I love it

girl help I have so many saved appearances that I really like and wanna turn into OCs eventually and now we got bunny boys too
