hi again everyone!
so ive learned a bit about valentines day
and in doing so ive found its celebrated differently in different places? :o
and also in some places like japan
theres a corresponding holiday called white day!

so anyway my question today is do you celebrate valentines
and if so how
just out of curiosity
with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever

also exactly how many human holidays are there because so far there have been rather a lot of them my goodness
its almost like theres a holiday for every month
and there are at least five ways to celebrate each one
i think i need a chart

Valentine's Day and White Day are celebrated in Korea too but there's also Black Day in April. Pepero Day popped up a few years ago too.

hey joonhee!!
okay i havent heard of black day or pepero day
what do those celebrate
are they related to valentines day or are they more holidays

Hello, Miss Aradia.

They are. Black Day is for people who didn't get anything on Valentine's Day and White Day, or just people who are single, they get together and eat noodles in black bean sauce. Pepero Day is kind of new, couples and friends exchange Pepero sticks.

black day sounds a little sad to be honest
also im not 100% sure what a pepero stick is
do you celebrate all four of those days??

I guess it does, but it's just another excuse to do something with friends I think.

Pepero sticks are skinny stick shaped cookies dipped in chocolate, it's a popular snack in Korea.

I don't really. But if someone gives me chocolate I'll give them something on White Day. [ as long as they're not giving them to him because they like him, don't want to mislead anyone. ]

oh pepero sticks sound really delicious!!!
maybe they sell them here somewhere? :o
we could look anyway

:D
i think a lot of people are actually getting into the chocolate thing
just going by posts

I haven't seen them yet but maybe they make something similar here.

It was really popular with girls in school, I'm not surprised people here like it too. Did you have any sort of holidays like that where you came from?

well have to check!
i absolutely want to try them
so if you see any let me know!!

not really
quadrant appreciation day was the closest
but you didnt really make too big a deal out of that in general?

I'll keep an eye out for it.

What's Quadrant Appreciation Day? [ that doesn't sound anything like Valentine's Day. then again people might not make the connection with names like White Day either. ]

its just a day where you give gifts to your quadrantmates
troll romance works in four quadrants
it tends to confuse humans
but im also confused by human romance so

I think all romance is confusing probably.

i think youre probably right
do you speak from experience though

Haha, that'd be normal for a teenager, wouldn't it? [ yes he just typed out his awkward laugh. ]

But what's troll romance like anyways?

well there are four quadrants instead of one
thus quadrants!
two red and two black
flushed and pale are red
calignious and ashen are black
i can explain more if you like but its at this point that humans normally start to like
get that what are you even talking about aradia look on their face

It does sound pretty confusing. What does it mean for a quadrant to be red or black?

red are pity based while black are not
okay so
flushed quadrant is matesprits and thats closest to human romance
pale is moiraillegiance which is romantic in a different way
its when the partners pacify one another
to oversimplify matters a lot
which is important in our culture
the humans ive spoken to the most say that calignious is hatelove
its basically hating someone
a lot
in a romantic way
and ashen is a three person romance
its when two people are going to the calignious side
but it would be bad for social reasons or other reasons
so a third party intervenes and keeps them in the ash

It does sound pretty confusing. I don't think I really understand pale and ashen at all.

So each person is expected to have a partner for each quadrant?

ideally yes
although two for the ashen
but the only ones you need to survive are the calignious and flushed ones
you need at least one
or youll be culled

What do you mean culled? [ it doesn't occur to him that she means that literally, slang of some sort maybe? ]

oh sorry!
i mean killed
if you dont contribute genetic material when the imperial drones come calling
youre out of luck

Killed? Literally?

yes
the empire doesnt muck around when it comes to expectations
mutations disabilities weaknesses failing to meet requirements
all those things can get you culled

[ it takes a moment for him to formulate a proper reply. he doesn't type in all his ellipses this time since that'd probably take up the entire character limit. ] Oh...

That seems really harsh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask something that could be so unpleasant.

its fine joonhee!
i dont mind
and anyway our world sort of ended so its not a big deal
i mean there isnt anyone left to cull anyone
except well
certain team members
but that problem is more or less under control

I'm glad you don't mind. I'm also glad you're all right even though so much happened.
