Roddacember Day 9: Symbols and Signs. Or, my thoughts and headcanons on piercings in different Deltoran cultures:

del: it's very common to see people with pierced ears or noses, given that del is a diverse city full of sailors and trade and people from all over. but while nearly every career sailor from anywhere in the world has some kind of piercing, the popularity of piercings in del cannot be chalked up simply to the impact of sailors and trade. many del tribesmembers wear ear piercings proudly because adin himself had his ears pierced during his time with the mere, and earlobe piercings came to be seen as a celebration of del pride and deltoran unification. it later became part of the Rule that the monarch and their immediate family also have one set of earlobe piercings to emulate the first king.

ralads: while it is not unheard of for ralads to wear ear or nose piercings, it is far more common for their clothes to be pierced. sashes, purses, capes, pockets, shirts and tunics will often be pierced with decorative hoops and jeweled studs to accent their embroidery and show off the riches or skill of the wearer.

broome: citizens of broome never wore jewelry during dragon times, especially not women, but as dragon populations waned, non-metallic jewelry (made from bone, shell, wood, etc) became more fashionable. after the total disappearance of the dragons, piercings and jewelry made of gold and other precious metals exploded in popularity and you’d be hard-pressed to find any broome resident without at least one piercing.

opal territory: ear piercings may have been somewhat common centuries ago, but fell entirely out of fashion after the hira rat plague began. because of sanitary taboos, hirans (and noradz residents) never wear piercings. among opal residents outside of hira and noradz, especially those in the more rural areas near the lapis border, occasional ear or nose piercings may be seen due to cultural exchange with the mere, but they hold no significant meaning to those of the opal tribe.

the mere: in the mere if you don't have piercings you're literally cursed lmaooooo. everyone has some combination of ear, nose, or facial piercings, and non-standard piercings like tongue, belly button, and nipple piercings are extremely common as well. piercings may be worn simply for aesthetic reasons, but it is far more common for each piercing and piece of jewelry to have a deep symbolic meaning to it’s wearer. as with mere charm culture, there is a deep history of fortunetelling and superstition within mere piercing culture. many mere will consult a piercing expert or soothsayer to determine what piercing placement, metal, and charm combination will bring them the best fortune. after the unification of the tribes, it became popular for many mere to wear an array of 7 piercings on one (or both) of their ears.

dread gnomes: dread gnomes may sometimes wear piercings, but they do not deal in metallurgy and do not wear piercings for fashion. spikes of wood or bone in the ears or nose are worn to as markers of membership to certain clans or families.

torans: torans do not wear piercings.

jalis: while tattoos are standard jalis practice, piercings among the jalis are uncommon because they are such easy targets to tear out in a brawl. however, it is extremely common for the very old who have grown past their fighting years to wear ear piercings as a rite of passage into elderhood. if you do happen to see a young jalis with piercings, they are either someone very foolhardy and stupid, or perhaps a tenna birdsong storyteller who is not likely to see combat.

I really want to update my fic but life's hard enough as it is, I don't want to get hit by the ao3 writer's curse

So having not auditioned since The Insider in 1998, I made a deal that wherever the audition would be, I would walk to the audition. No cabs, no limousines, blah. I just walk, you know, like I would have when I was a young fellow. Originally the audition was supposed to take place in Chicago, but the way it turned out, it was rescheduled for New York. And I woke up that morning and it was a torrential downpour, but I knew that if I didn't walk, if I didn't fulfill the deal I'd made with myself the same way as I used to when I was a kid, that it wouldn't go right. So I started walking. And, you know, the curbs here in New York, they're sort of shaved down for the years, and you just cannot get away from the puddles at a certain level of water. So by the time I got to the audition room, my jeans were wet to the back of my knees. So I was standing there singing for everybody in wet clothes, but it sharpened me up.

still thinking about my answer so I'll ask in the meantime: 1 (I'm that one person that actually loves hearing about people's dreams) and also 5 and 10

thank you for the ask!! <3

1. any recurring childhood dreams?

when i was about 5 i got recurring nightmares involving an octopus after watching a sea-related episode of the magic schoolbus lmaooo

and i started having unpleasant driving dreams as a preteen - haven't had one of those in a while thankfully!

5. weirdest phase you went through as a kid

insects! never grew out of it tbh but i was less hesitant about holding them back then :]

a phase that actually ended was magnets! i still have some of my old ones, their broken pieces held together with tape. and love

10. have you ever learned to knit or crochet?

no :c my sister offered to teach me crochet last summer but i was too intimidated by the learning curve ig

Pride is NOT the word I’m looking for.

[hotgirlcoded]

and the raptors are losing right now but i predicted this because i have a theory that when i wear raptors merch on game days they lose 😭 which would suck if i ever went to a game because they would probably lose................

[shrekshugebadussy]

you know what i’ve been finding very interesting? the fact that since i’ve starting reading lucio’s route, his character has been popping up more in the side-game you can do for postcards.. and not only that but i swear it’s like the wheel knows what number i need to get to him & constantly lands on it. PLUS “oopsie” was never a word that i would normally hear in real life yet now i’ve heard it twice now in real life situations (could just be coincidence tbf) but like wtf 😭 plus i’ve always been… interested, to say.. in The Fool card… yet here we are. idk things be weird lmao

[silkjade]
