your hair is dry from either chlorine or sea salt. you gotta choose or you gotta pick both. either way, you're still a swimmer. whether you're a pool swimmer or a sea swimmer. you'd still have dry hair from all that swimming.
◾Serbian Orthodox Epiphany, known as Богојављење (lat. Bogojavljenje) , is a significant religious observance celebrated on January 19th (January 6th in the Julian calendar). On this day, the Serbian Orthodox Church commemorates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. One of the distinctive customs during Богојављање is the ritual of „Пливање за часни крст“ or swimming for the Holy Cross.
◾In this ritual, young men dive into icy waters to retrieve a wooden cross thrown by a priest. The one who successfully retrieves the cross is believed to receive a special blessing and good fortune throughout the year.
◾This tradition symbolizes the baptism of Jesus and emphasizes the importance of spiritual cleansing and renewal. The act of swimming in cold waters represents a commitment to faith and a willingness to endure challenges for the sake of religious devotion.
Il lui fallait maintenant s'enfoncer dans la mer chaude, se perdre pour se retrouver, nager dans la lune et la tiédeur pour que se taise ce qui en lui restait du passé et que naisse le chant profond de son bonheur.

Will end this year with an FLCL collab with Ovrthnk & others. Bringing Sadamoto Yoshiyuki and Odio's styles together again for the first time since 2019. So happy to end the year with such a great project. Please follow ovrthnk for release info. Yes, I am going as hard as I can on these. I hope you like them.
I have the worlds smallest little headcanon that Seawings are, on average, more likely to be deaf/hoh since they rely the least on it for hunting and survival + Aquatic means it’s much easier for a deaf Seawing to be fully absorbed in Seawing society
Second highest is (modern) Nightwings because naturally sensitive hearing + constant exposure to a loud volcano = lots of dragons with progressive hearing loss. Im not sure how much Nightwings have a sign language (time at volcano vs how terrible nightwing society is, fight!) but I do think the most recent generation of Nightwings would probably have their own dialect/baby language since they’re the most likely to be effected by it with the increase in volcanic activity and the way Nightwing dragonets are raised together in dormitories
Competitive swimmer culture is having songs unironically ruined because you played them so often at meets that now you can't listen to them without smelling pungent chlorine
You know what? I kind of like the allure of a ship not being explicitly stated as canon. I love the chase. I love wondering. I love getting to see small moments and getting to Pepe Silvia my way to an explanation about how that small moment means the ship is totally definitely canon.
The reasoning for a ship being canon being as easy as, "They said 'I love you' and kissed" will never be as enticing as having to explain why "I ain't Quittin' you" is, in fact, secret code for "I'm gay and one day we will have a bond so strong that every little moment between us means 'I love you' without us ever actually saying those words"....
i'm pretty curious about this, since it seems like i hear a lot of similar experiences despite it being oddly specific:
(this is just based on the most common hyper-specific situations ive heard from other autistic people)
ALSO. if you're autistic and you never did any of these things, THAT'S OKAY. please do not become insecure over your own experiences if they don't perfectly match everyone else's- every autistic person is different
