It's Christmas time! So you know what that means... Thematic world building!
Will it have any impact on lore?
Absolutely no. Do i want to just do it? Absolutely yes!
Everyone knows, that Toons and Cogs have their own Holidays and events. And i'm not talking about Easter events or Christmas, because those are our human Holidays. I'm talking about main Toon Holidays and Cogs events! It is time for someone (like me :]) to do something about it!
And if you have your ideas, don't be shy and write them down!
We gonna start with Toon side of this world:
At the beginning of every season they gather for a big feast and presents exchanging/taking which takes 3-7 days.
Spring Welcoming - It's a big picnic with fruits to eat and honey-milk to drink! For them to remember that they live in a beautifull world full of nature, which should be protected. Toons exchange gifts such as flowercrowns, baskets and goodness' from their own gardens. There's also Flowercrown Making competition! It always takes place in Daffodil Gardens.
Summer Welcoming - It's a big beach party with ice-cream, watermelons and lemonade! For them to remember that life is joyous, as long as you have fun (with friends or without) and don't come through problems alone. Toons exchange gifts such as toys, trinkets, friendship bracelets and any kind of accesories (such as bows, pins, etc.). Then are taking place any kind of sport games. It always takes place in Barnacle Boatyard.
Fall Welcoming - It's a big camping with lots of tents, smores and stories to tell over the campfires! For them to remember that everything comes to an end, but it doesn't need to be necesserily sad. Changes exist in life and those are just part of it. This Welcoming is the most calm out of them.Toons don't exchange gifts, instead they help each other with building tents and forest huts. They have special camping site to do so, where they build campfires with the biggest one in the middle. When the evening comes, they tell stories about their adventures. It always takes place in Acorn Acres.
Winter Welcoming - It's the big feast on the playground! For them to just be happy, joyous and full of dreams! When it starts, everytoon helps with decorating their Playgrounds with colorful lights and decorations. They also write themselves a list of gifts and send it to Merry Paws (who is a real Toon), who brings presents on the last day of Winter Welcoming. It's the only Welcoming, which always lasts a whole week. On the 4th day the Big Tree Decorating takes place in Brrrgh for signaling Merry Paws that they can come on the Big Winter Feast. Toons then gather together, eat, sing and play in the snow. When everything is done (and Merry Paws is back to their place), they find presents in their houses.
New Year - Because of course, however there are no fireworks, rather music and many games. Just having the best time of their life!
The Big Gardening - It takes place in Spring and Fall. Everytoon helps with growing plants and gathering crops. Then also takes place Contest for the biggest fruit/vegetable.
"Toon-day" - Something like the Independence day. For them to remember, that they can have their argues, but they are still an unity. Major tells a speech about the history of Toontown and how it came to exist and then everyone throws pie to the air, to celebrate that! (Don't worry, everything is cleaned afterwards).
"Funning around" - It's more of a toonlings Holidays. They don't have to go to school, however if they want, they can come to any adult Toon and help them with their business. And tradition says that adult cannot say "no".
And now it's time for Suits (and how they celebrate in COGS):
National Work Day - Takes place in Summer. Suits work all day and all night, to remember stay productive. Some companies provide nice stuff to them (mostly food od beverages).
Suitopia day - Yeah, it's the day of Independence. They're listening to their anthem on the radio and they buy/sell thematic trinkets for that. There's also one, big HALF HOUR break at COGS to sing anthem and "socialize" a bit. And a free cogffee.
Sales Week - It's when corporations sell off their good stuff, just to keep things rolling and also for suits to blow off steam. Takes place in Winter.
The Great Parade - It takes place in Spring. For Suits to remember that they're still an unity. They make a big parade with many decorations and famous suits balloons/carts which often lasts a whole day. At COGS some of the bigger higher-ups are able to ride to Suitopia to attend it, but there's also their smaller version, when they parade at the streets of Toontown with their famous suits words written on a big banners.
National Relax Day - It's an autumn day off. Suits can just relax. At COGS it's the drive wheel of motivation, they have a A WHOLE DAY OFF, amazing.
New Year - In Winter, it's just celebrating a new Year. Oil, parties, etc... At COGS they throw banquet for higher-ups. Lower ranks have their "self-organised mini-banquets", which mostly look like going on break together to drink a better oil, give small gifts (for example fountain pen with a big bow) and wish a productive year to each other.
(First Toons were crashing those parades, but Cogs got mad and started doing the big invasions on their hoildays. Both sides had seen this as problematic, so they declared truces on those days).
However, after the takeover, Cogs banned gatherings celebrating this stuff and Toon-day. Toons are able only to celebrate this stuff in their houses. They only allow Funning Around and The Big Gardening. When Funning Around is happening, toonlings can go around and help... Sellbots. It was approved by VP. In exchange they get small knick-knacks or some talons for price reduction when they want to buy something. Nobody is proud of it, but sometimes it's needed to survive.
