currently remembering pouring soil from israel into my great-grandparents' graves at their funerals... anti zionism & anti israel-isms cannot be separated from antisemitism. the people who say it can have no conception of how intrinsic the idea of israel as homeland is to the jewish identity. an attack on israel is an attack on the jewish people.

🌹 for the art thing!
(You obviously don’t have to but I thought it’d be cute if a-yuan and wei wuxian were together for this prompt!)
I hope your work day goes well💜
🌹: draw the character giving someone flowers
oops-i-drew-these-prompts-then-didn’t-get-round-to-scanning-them-for-several-days catch-up time (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
thank you and congratulations on being the only person who didn't request xiao xingchen fjfkgkglk. they can be... radish flowers :)
this has alt text. extended image description below the cut.
Wei Wuxian, laughing, sits cross-legged on the ground with Chenqing held loosely in one hand. The other steadies a determined Wen Yuan as he clambers onto Wei Wuxian's lap to reach the top of his head, where he tucks a flower into his ponytail. He carries a small basket of the little flowers over his other arm, and one has fallen onto Wei Wuxian's leg.
Ink on paper.

as someone whos really into the intricate rituals of piracy (and thinks izzy is too) it hurts me that he didn't get a burial at sea. he lived his whole life there, he cared about piracy as a community, he thought they were good, he deserved to have that life one last time.

Visiting a graveyard is usually a somber experience. But Romania’s Merry Cemetery is a place full of laughter, color and tomb stones covered in naughty jokes.

Miss Ruby’s home burial was done the old Appalachian way. When she passed, the clock was stopped, marking the time of death. All the mirrors in the house were turned to face the wall or covered with blankets. It was believed that doing this would keep the soul of the dead from being trapped in the reflective glass.
Miss Ruby’s body was bathed, her face and extremities washed with soap and water. A cloth dipped in soda water, camphor and vinegar to prevent discoloration was draped over her face until company arrived. She was dressed in a clean cotton gown and placed on her own kitchen table. All this was done quickly before stiffening set in.
A scarf was tied around Miss Ruby’s head and under the chin to keep her mouth from falling open. Coins were placed on her eyelids to give the appearance of sleep. Almost immediately neighbors showed up with food for the family. Extra chairs were placed around the corpse and mourners took turns fanning the body to keep it cool. Family members remained with Miss Ruby overnight to keep her company and protect her from flies and vermin.
The next morning more people arrived with fresh flowers and herbs to help mask the odor of death. Windows were opened in the house to circulate the air while mourners were vigilant to protect Miss Ruby’s body from animals attracted to the smell. When the minister arrived he said a prayer and everyone sang hymns.
Miss Ruby was wrapped in white sheets, placed on a door that had been taken off its hinges, and carried out of the house feet first. Her family believed that if the body was carried out headfirst her spirit could linger and catch someone’s eye which caused bad luck or even death.
Miss Ruby’s sons and grandsons carried her up the hill to the family cemetery where she was lowered into the ground. After another song and final prayer, each mourner tossed a handful of soil onto the body. She had wanted to die before winter because having her body stored in the barn until the spring thaw made her nervous. Folks were sad, but relieved that she had gotten her wish.
