Ulchanka - Photographed by Aleksandr Frolenok
In traditional Ulchi (who refer to themselves as Nani) cosmology, the natural world has been understood to be inhabited by spirits and other sentient supernatural beings. Animals, plants, places, and aspects of the landscape could possess spiritual significance, and these beings were understood to perceive and respond to human behaviour. Relations between people and the spirit world were for this reason governed by offerings, expressions of respect, and various taboos. Failure to observe these obligations could be understood as provoking spiritual displeasure, which potentially could result in misfortune, illness, and even death.
Because the environment was believed to be heavily populated by these invisible powers, the Ulchi traditionally utilized shamanic practices to interact with them. While everyday individuals maintained their own basic spiritual relationship, a designated sama (aka shaman; a word originating from fellow Tungustic people of Siberia) was called upon to act as an intermediary to heal the sick, secure safe hunting, or venture into the spirit world.
One of the most sacred forms of worship of the Ulchi was a cult centered around the veneration of the Bear. Bear cubs were captured and and placed in special log cages to be raised around a certain clan or family, where they were even occasionally nursed or hand-fed by women as if they were children. The practice culminated in a multi-day ritual festival known as буюмба хупи, during which the bear was ceremonially sacrificed by a skilled archer. The bear's soul was believed to return to the realm of the the masters of the Taiga (spirits governing this mountain-forest region), carrying with it the hopes and prayers of humanity.
Following the sacrifice, the bear's sacred meat was consumed in a festive banquet, binding the clan to both animal and spirit world. The Ulchi shaman played an important role in overseeing the ritual's cosmic and spiritual boundaries, making sure that the bear's soul passed peacefully into the spirit world without resentment toward the hunter or community. Through drums, chants, and invocations, the shaman guided the bear's spirit back to the taiga deities, seeking to secure health, successful hunting, good fortune, and harmony for the entire community.
Bido in the club freakin' it sensitive style. does that mean anything
now it does
another chapter of my greed lives au is out! greed decided to be stubborn in this one and NOT return to resembool like he was supposed to. but it worked out great for his character development, so i can't really be mad.
Greed talked. There was no one to lend a listening ear, but he pretended that the drinks he poured really did belong to his crew. He told them everything that had happened to him in the time that he had been gone—about meeting Ling, traveling with him and Ed and Darius and Heinkel, and about traveling to Xing and becoming its emperor. “There's a princess there that doesn't take anyone's shit, Martel,” he said to the cup that would have been Martel. “You would have liked her—though she's an empress now.” Dolcetto heard all about the weapons, there, and Ulchi heard all about the women. To Roa, Greed described what he imagined would happen if he had ever met Lan Fan—it would have been entertaining, having both of them dramatically standing behind him when he had to listen to other clans giving him stupid requests and complaints. But to Bido… Even with Bido's cup full, Greed couldn't find the words. He was the only one of his crew that hadn't died here, and the only one of them that had directly been his fault. It was strange, realizing that. They would have all still been alive if Greed hadn't decided to hold Alphonse Elric hostage that day, but it was Bido alone who had directly died at his hand. Greed didn't finish his own drink.

your blog is so cool!!! can i ask if you have any special greed + devils nest gang headcanons to share for this humble anon's rewatch session?
aw tysm <3 I definitely have way too many thoughts about them rotating in my head constantly, let's see what we can grab today
one of the things that I actually really like from 03 is Greed busting out the chimeras when he's breaking himself out of the lab, so even though it doesn't exactly line up with what we're given in mangahood canon i like to hc something similar having happened anyways! (gonna be a lil vague because this loops back to a fic I'm writing a bit) "guy who's been locked up for who knows how long and isn't all there mentally's first instinct being to save people when all he can think about is needing to get out" does something to me yk
the chimeras having different sorts of chronic pain issues from being experimented on is so real to me that I forget it's not canon. I will die on the hill that Dolcetto's arm bands are actually braces to support his wrists. Greed catches any of them overdoing it when they're having a bad pain day and he will personally drag them off to bed whether they're in the middle of a conversation or work or anything. This is regular taking care of your possessions behaviour and not him being worried about his friends thank you very much
Roa just has the Vibes that he does most of the cooking for their group, but Greed definitely does quite a bit too (mostly when he can use excuses like "I'm the only one who can't get sick so I might as well be the one to make food" when there's something going around, or "Well I made this for Me because I need to eat all the finest things but I happened to make enough for everyone and being greedy means not letting things go to waste so you better have some" -guy who won't admit to himself or anyone else that everything he wants for himself is for them too)
Dolcetto being the main bouncer! most people would probably expect it to be Roa or Ulchi but he's a damn good guard dog thank you (being able to smoke more because he's outside the entrance is a bonus too) I don't have too specific hc's for what most of the others do during working hours other than Martel working the bar, but I kinda see Ulchi as dealing with fights that break out inside when he's not part of them himself (Roa helps with those ones it's ok)
