sentinelbeach I believe you asked about them last month I'm sorry I took so long!

I'm trying to gather money so I can pay my bills and rent and also prepare for my husband visiting so please consider commissioning me ;u; thank you!!

bump

bless you for knowing the difference between mistletoe and holly

Could any of the character heights in the duos be changed? (In cases where the height difference isn't so steep.)

thoughtbubble: of course!!!

superfine: Im NGL that's not a thing here so I spent like an hour googling it to make 100% sure LOL

Onomatophobia: that's apparently more than the artist for our provincial recycling campaign did

how funny! now I'm going to be double checking in pictures whether or not the artist drew actual mistletoe.

superfine: oh my god......

thoughtbubble: LMAO I really wasn't trying to set a standard!! I just googled it agahdhjahf

Return-It Express - During the holidays, it’s just w...here at 0:06

that said it's super common

superfine: I actually don't even know what holly looks like LOL

holly is a more generic ornament so people see it everywhere at Christmas and i guess that makes them assume it's also mistletoe??

meanwhile mistletoe is ONLY used for the kissing thing and it's pretty much 100% fake plants now because mistletoe is SUPER toxic

(holly is also poisonous but i think relatively less so?)

humans using extremely toxic plants & minerals as ornaments, pain relievers, makeup and paint will never not be funny

the way I remember it is mistletoe is the long stuff that sometimes has white berries. holly has the short pointy leaves and red round berries.

every part of mistletoe is poisonous basically

(cuetlaxōchitl/poinsettias are also poisonous, especially to pets. Christmas: all about the poison plants!)

thoughtbubble: AHHHH yeah in that case I don't think I've ever seen it in real life, just plastic ornaments. don't remember if it grows here or if it's just expensive

i think a sprig of mistletoe also killed the good baldur

*god

we call those nochebuenas and they're sold en masse during winter lololol

mistletoe is extra weird because it's technically a parasitic plant. around here we see bundles of it up in trees it's leeching off of. maybe that's why it's supposed to be hung traditionally- it naturally ends up in trees a lot.

thoughtbubble: iirc it was very important to pre -Christian druids in Europe and was related to fertility, hence the kissing thing

lol so the kissing thing truly is to promote people hooking up

"now kith" but historically accurate

"Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility, with the seeds resembling semen." ah. i should have figured.

lol

I guess the christmas trees themselves are the only holiday plant you should chew on, if you must. but not if it's artificial.

and even then it depends on the type of evergreen

oh huh mistletoe was also hung over doorways for protection from evil spirits

thoughtbubble: but Matt I've been eating those for years, the plastic in my blood promised to make me strong /jkjjkjk

plus there was a variation where every time someone kissed under it as a decoration, you'd remove a berry until there weren't any left

I'm learning so much about mistletoe

lol oh dear microplastics!

I didn't realize mistletoe traditions were that complicated!

I would eat the berries and die

rip

I bet a lot of people did way back in the day though

honestly tho? I do think so LOLOLOLOL which might be why we used it to keep evil spirits out at our doors. if they eat it, they die?

ok gonna repost deets and links bc we got passionate about winter plants LMAO
