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

I might have had a different quadrantmate this time last year, okay...

A quadrantmate? Who? [ This is VERY distracting and also intriguing. ]

Eridan...

[ not sure what to say to that, actually. ]

The ring thing is a human thing, right?

[usedshooshpap]

Yeah. The one I gave him had a red stone in it and the one he gave me had a purple one.

Hmm. I'm sorry, Karkat. We don't have to talk about that if you don't want to!

But as to something you can do for Vanitas - maybe Rose or John would have more ideas?

God... I don't want to ask them. They're my friends and all, but holy shit I don't think John is a viable option.

Really? Why not? [ She legitimately doesn't see the problem. ...Like, at all. ]

Or...maybe ask Riku or someone from his world! Maybe there's some sort of couple's thing they do there that's special, and you could use some of that?

Even if there was, I'm not sure how Vanitas would feel about it. Probably doesn't know about anything like that himself.

Hmmm.

Well there is one for this world - there's a story about Luvdisc, and in some places you're supposed to give them to someone you love.

[usedshooshpap]

What's the story behind it.

[timelymaid]

Well, supposedly couples who meets a Luvdisc will be blessed with an eternal love. There are stories about couples that have found them or given them to one another, but I haven't been able to pinpoint where it originated from - admittedly I wasn't looking for the origin point of that story in particular.

It sounds pretty damn cheesy and cliche.

[ which means Karkat is going to get right on this. ]

[timelymaid]

I think it sounds really sweet?

And I happen to know someone who has a luvdisc! So getting your hands on an egg if you can't find the pokemon in the wild shouldn't be so hard.

[usedshooshpap]

...So. Let's just say that I might be considering this. Who would I ask...

Mom! Her shiny from Christmas was a Luvdisc. You have her contact info already, right? She doesn't have access to another pokemon in that egg group, but connect her up with, oh, Eridan or Cheria? And that'd probably work out, since they've got a bunch of water types.

Or if you know anyone with a Gyrados or Magikarp! Water 2 is such a weirdly small group, I don't get it.

...Sollux has one, but that's part of his passive-aggressive magikarp thing with Eridan.
