Mübareke tradition in Kütahya, Turkiye

The Mübareke tradition in Kütahya, Türkiye, involves women visiting a bride or new mother for 40 days after a wedding or childbirth. It includes socializing, eating, drinking, and singing, fostering community bonds. Post-wedding, the bride greets guests, offers sweets, and changes clothes frequently. Postpartum, rituals like ribbon-tying and serving spiced sherbet occur, with the mother and baby staying home. While it supports new mothers and preserves cultural heritage, some criticize it as demanding and reinforcing traditional gender roles. Modern adaptations may simplify rituals to suit contemporary lifestyles. Data on its prevalence is limited, but it remains stronger in rural areas.

making a new post bc the old one has lost traction so!

hi! my name is Leo, I'm a trans uni student who's been screwed over by student finance. slightly less screwed than before as they have updated my total but are still reducing 2k from what I should be getting!

It's under the minimum amount due to reductions, and I need 7.6k (not including £100 a month for bills (not including groceries etc!)) for my rent for the year. I have about £500 in my bank atm which is not enough to cover rent, bills or food for this month (by the 19th Dec) so any donations or reblogs would be greatly appreciated <3

What I find interesting about the fact that Cullen's romance is race-locked is what it says about his character and the romance more generally. Specifically, Cullen will only romance races he was familiar with within the circle. And in the context of the circle, Cullen has specifically always had power over elves and humans as a templar in a way he never has over qunari and dwarves.

From the characterisation we get, I wouldn't even assume this is a conscious decision. I do think Cullen generally loves the romanced inquisitior and sees them as an equal or even above him (Herald of Andraste style, the boys a believer if nothing else).

But I would say that Cullen feels himself to be very vulnerable - and I imagine has done his whole life, especially after the events at the ferelden circle. in DA2 that comes across as him literally beating up recruits in the woods; asserting his power through literal force. And while he's trying to overcome that and shows some remorse in inquisition, he also still feels that horrid vulnerability that I think really scares him. He says as much in the scene he tells you about Kinoch hold. It's one of the reasons he argues that he 'should be taking it' (lyrium) because he sees himself as weak.

And I think there's a subconscious element that he knows he has had power over elves and humans. He could theoretically control them like he did before; he's made strong minded elves and humans tranquil before after all. And I don't think he would do that to an inquisitor, but the point is that subconsciously the vulnerability he feels is protected in a way he has no proof it would be if he was with a dwarf or a qunari. he has been betrayed after all before; by the mages in Kinoch hold, by a warden he had a crush on who saved said mages even though he begged them not to, by Meredith.

Like I said. I think this is entirely subconscious. But I also think it's a more interesting angle to explore the 'whys' than simply 'they didn't have time to make the smaller and taller character models work with the desk scene'.

Shiara broke barriers in a way most ships can only dream of. Was YOUR ship on the news for how controversial it was in its portrayal of a positive gay relationship? How it ushered in an era of lgbt visibility in video games? They were THEEEEE BLUEPRINT

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?

Culturally insensitive Orzammarian elfaboo gets poorly researched and therefore inaccurate vallaslin tats (a combination of the mythal & sylaise designs but he insists they're to honor elgar'nan). Is that anything.
