Do your OCs do anything special for the holidays?
For sure. Here's a couple
. While she was never one to get really get into the holidays like a fanatic, she loved it nonetheless.
. Both sides of her family had different traditions and practices, but both came together on those days to celebrate another year where the family is all there.
. For both Thanksgiving and Christmas, her mother always made an amazing paella with chicken, and tres leches. Her dad was the grill master. Made a killer simmered lamb
. But after the apocalypse, she did not have the holiday spirit considering her family was not there. At first it wasn't the same.
. After a couple of months of adjusting to a semi calm life, and building relationships with the other people, horsemen and otherworldly beings, she decides to start celebrating again
. She like her parents loved to cook, and it took awhile to recall all the ingredients for their recipes, but with help from the other survivors she got to know, they prepared to celebrate properly. And loves to learn and try other realm recipes.
. The holidays were special to her in the aspect of spending time with loved ones and appreciate the blessing of life, so she wanted to share that experience with others who have never had that.
. Both Christmas and Thanksgiving are a big get together, with rocky beginnings at first, but celebrating it with a new family helped her with moving forward and acceptance.
Personally don't think Keres would be very familiar with it, but is more than willing to learn something new. And add her own nephilim version of it. Torren on the other hand....
. Knows all the logistics of how the holiday came about, even the messed up origins of some.
. Yet still finds the concepts fascinating, and studies all the traditions.
. Would be over the moon if he had the opportunity to join in the festivities. no matter how mundane he wants to experience it.
. And for some odd reason actually likes fruit cake and gingerbread.
. Obsessed with the mistletoe tradition, loves using it on Keres as an excuse to kiss in public.
. Loves sharing stories he finds appropriate for the holidays, especially the too factual ones.
. "Did you know Thanksgiving is actually a holiday celebrating the fact that..." Or "Valentine's day originally was a holiday based in offering hearts to their idols..."
. Yeah he would kinda suck the fun out of it, but not entirely on purpose. I think he wouldn't take the holiday entirely seriously but thinks it's a good chance to come together in peace.
. Doesn't know what it is , and I don't think she really cares. Kind of a party pooper
. "Oh free food, sure I'll be there.". That's her.
. In all honesty I think Halloween is her favorite holiday.
Hope ya like and thanx for the ask!! Happy holidays!!!
