Hello loves and happy Memorial Day !!!
In the US, we take the last Monday in May off to honor the brave veterans who gave their lives for our country. It's been tradition since WW1 to wear a red poppy as a symbol of remembrance for those who died in our service. We also take the day off of work and school to acknowledge the ultimate sacrifice made in our honor. Personally, both of my parents have served over 20 years each and I'm incredibly proud of the work they've done.
Thank you to all those who serve for their country and to all who support those who protect them :)
In honor of today's holiday, I bring the following craze boosters
- 4x more fitness for every hour in the gym. Service members are held to a high standard, maintaining their fitness and strength, regardless of position. Because at any moment, they could be called to serve and deploy to protect their country.
- 3x more energy for every hour of sleep. There are countless sleepless nights for our veterans on the field. Whether they be up late manning their post or simply attempting to find time to talk to their family at home. Rest is important, however for our veterans, they often don't get the privilege of a full 8 hours.
- 2x more B$ for every hour of work. It cannot be emphasized enough how poorly our service members are compensated for their work. Often times they have to fight tooth and nail to simply receive disability for their wounds and maladies gained during work. Not to mention the measly amounts they are offered as yearly salary. Advocating for better pay for our country's lifeblood is an important point to hound on. Never forget our veteran's service
I feel I've typed more than enough for this craze, but I do hope I've brought in enough boosters for today ^^ Surprisingly, May isn't a very holiday-packed month, but expect a good smathering for June !!
hello hello !!!
obvi this craze was coming, LGBTQIA+ is the life of this website, so... at the very least, a tiny day of fun and craziness is in order.
- almost every craze bonus. period. minus selling craze bc that's for donut day i fear.
Hello hello lovelies !!!
This is a bit of a silly one, but someone in my census poll a few months back mentioned they celebrate national doughnut day, so here we arrreee !!! This holiday was actually started by the Salvation Army in 1938 as they used to serve donuts to soldier during WW1 :) Nowadays, a TON of donut shops also celebrate this and give out super hot deals and/or freebies, so def make sure to check if your local shops have free donuts today ^-^
- Selling craze ! obvi, since it's the beginning of the month AND freebie day, put on those artifacts and buy your ximbo some donuts, they need some <3
- 2x superficiality. Okay so, hear me out. Donuts, mostly just sugar right? Instant gratification, but maybe lacking a bit of nutritional depth? They're not essential, but they've definitely a delightful little addition to your day. They're designed for looks mostly, not so much flavor. Like you cannot tell me that the pink food dye and sprinkles are adding to the flavor profile, but they are definitely getting severe style points. TLDR: donuts are superficiality icons.
alrighty, that's all from me loves, go get ur donuts and have a very happy friday <333
lots of love,
tibby
Hello hello gorgeous !
These two holidays are entirely separate, but they take place on consecutive days, so we're putting them together for this 3-day craze. now for my little bit of lore dump on themmm !!!
Eid al-Adha (not to be confused with Eid al-Fitr) is a holiday where charity and family are essential. It commemorates Abraham's obedience to God, being prepared to sacrifice his own beloved son Isaac. Though before he could do so, God stopped him and provided a ram instead as sacrifice. This act of devotion to God was rewarded, and so every Eid al-Adha it is celebrated and remembered as families who can afford it will also partake in the sacrificing and distribution of meat to family, friends, and those in need.
Pentecost, the 50th day after Easter, celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the followers of Jesus and marks the birth of the Christian church. Red decor is common around Pentecost to symbolize the 'tongues of flames' that appeared above those present during the original Pentecost. It's not only the mark of the beginning of Christianity, but also the reversal of the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, making it a day of unity as well !!
now for the associated craze boosters ^^
- 3x reputation for fight votes, duel wins, daily activities, etc. ! These holidays celebrate unity and charity amongst people, therefore to celebrate this, a bit more rep is in order methinks.
- 4x more SA for working ! As a symbol of abundance and giving, many donate and share wealth for Eid al-Adha, emphasizing that flow of blessings to all of us is important i think, so here it is :)
these are a bit strong, so only 2 boosters this time, but for 3 whole days ! i hope you all enjoy this time and craze :)
lots of love,
tibby
