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

[ Misaki totally has no suspicions about Valentines Aradia may or may not be sending!

yep. ]

Ohhh. We still had an Empress, back before Alternia was destroyed. [ She looks pretty interested about the Star Festival, though. ] Separated by the gods? But why?

[Then that stare was replaced by a rather surprised look.] Your planet was destroyed?

There's many of variations of the story, as well as different reasons but the most popular version explains that the two lovers couldn't finish their work due to being so distracted with each other so they separated them with some kind of 'heaven river'. If you know what the Milky Way is, that's the river they were specifically talking about. [Coming from a folklorist family has it perks.]

Yes! Our universe was, actually. It was a while ago, though.

I'm sort of familiar with it! So it's a folk story?

... [Part of her wants to ask. Another part feels it's a whole complicated mess.]

A variation of one but yes.

[ Trust the second part, Misaki. ]

It sounds a little bit sad, to be honest!

[brokenmemories]

Well, majority of the folk tales can be either pretty sad, silly or just plain weird. [Mostly weird.]

[timelymaid]

That's true! A lot of them do tend to be sad, even back home. I wonder why that is?

[brokenmemories]

Probably a bigger impact on people?

Either than or the old times weren't really so enjoyable back then.

I guess sad things do tend to have a bit of a bigger impact, which is sort of...well, sad!
