I know I am late, but Happy Hanukkah to jewish people (and everyone who celebrates). Specially this year, with everything going on, remember you are loved and cherished.
Happy Hanukkah everyone! My calendar said it was supposed to be on the 19th (today) not the 18th so I tried to finish it as much as I can. It took 3 hours but it’s finished (Why is lineart such a pain 🥲) Tarantula lady is a Villainous OC, her names Magnolia. Villainous is a Mexican Cartoon Network show created by this man @alan_ituriel and it’s so good! Please support this show as much as you can! I wanna see this aired in America! I can guarantee if I do see it on HBO Max I’m gonna fan girl like Dementia!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
BEST HOLIDAY EVER!!!!!!!!
Have yourself a pretty decent little Christmas, a not-so-bad Hanukkah, a mediocre Hogswatch, and/or a reasonably happy Whatever You’re Having. Enjoy it in your own way, whether that’s glittery or gloomy. You certainly don’t need my permission, but if you want someone to say, “Yes, it’s ok if this year isn’t the best, the brightest, the most amazing ever,” I’m here for you. (And if it is the best and brightest and most amazing, that’s ok, too.)
I was looking at making a family christmas card for the first time in our eight years of being a family, and i feel. just. kinda bummed out. all these cards on shutterfly are foil-stamped and covered in glitter and say things like “merriest christmas,” “happiest holidays,” “best year ever,” “awesomest year ever.” and maybe for some people it was. but this wasn’t our glitteriest happiest merriest awesomest year. and i know it wasn’t the happiest merriest awesomest year for a lot of other people too.
for me one of the crappiest parts of commercialized christmas culture is all this pressure to make it pretty. to be the -est: the best, the merriest, the happiest. like if you go get professional photos taken at a christmas tree farm with wavy hair and coordinating outfits and put those photos on a embossed glittery card then somehow it erases the fact that your wife lost her job or your new baby spent three months in the nicu.
why isn’t it ok to just have a mediocre christmas? why isn’t it ok to have a christmas card that just says plain old “happy holidays” with a mediocre pixelated cell phone pic of your family where the toddler isn’t wearing pants and you have your glasses on and no one matches? why isn’t it ok to say this ISN’T going to be the merriest christmas? that no one is getting the shinest newest cell phone or toy because dad is in the hospital and we can’t afford it? that some families are tired and stressed to even put up a tree or hang up lights?
when you can’t do Big Best Christmas the way all those perfect families on instagram do christmas, the way all those families in commercials and sitcoms do christmas, it starts to make you feel. like. left out. like your little bit of christmas isn’t enough. like your twenty-dollar plastic tree with tinsel and two ornaments isn’t enough. like your .99 cent felt stockings with names glitter-glued on isn’t enough.
the world chants joy!! merry!! bright!! stocking stuffers!!! and you just feel alienated because the world is bellowing CHRISTMAS!! at you through a megaphone but all you want is just to whisper it quietly this year. not every year is going to be your best christmas ever. christmases aren’t an escalating crescendo of personal happiness and fulfillment. some years will be harder than others. i just want it to be a normal, good, happy thing to just have a little christmas.
Happy Hanukkah

For Chanukah this year I got a free pass to kill one person without consequences
Happy Hanukkah 🕎
Merry Christmas or Hanukkah
I hope everyone has a lovely day/afternoon/night
Love you all
Just overheard my sister finding a fusion recipe of latke and schnitzel online.
Sounds intriguing but in a (sort of) good way.
Hanukkah is coming up so soon! I want to know: what's the weirdest or most creative latke variation you've seen (either the latke itself or the toppings).
I've seen people adding pickles to their latkes and I reaaaally want to try that! Also churro style latkes, which sounds amazing.
I’m crying, It’s like an AI typed this font!!

chag sameach this still makes me laugh
Ooh! This is giving me an art idea!
Attention artists drawing Chanukah art! (Because I've seen wayyy too many incorrect depictions)
-The Shamash (the ninth candle, usually in the center or off to the side of a Chanukiyah (Chanukah menorah)) is used to light the other candles. It is lit first, and is the helper candle. It's not part of the lineup.
-The flames are lit from left to right, starting with the candle/oil well representing the current night. For example:
If this is the first night: _ _ _ _ _ _ _🕯️
And this is the third night: _ _ _ _ _ 🕯️🕯️🕯️
You would start by lighting the candle to the leftmost on the third night, and then move gradually to the right.
-The flames are supposed to be kept burning until they burn out. You don't reuse candles from the night before under ideal conditions (ideal being able to afford candles, etc).
-You can't use the candles on the Chanukiyah lineup to light other candles. That's what the Shamash candle is for. You're not supposed to use the Chanukiyah flames for anything.
And if you still think otherwise, maybe it’s time you did actual research about this clearly prevalent history!
Just your friendly (or not so friendly, take it as you will) reminder that Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday!!
We celebrate the reclamation of our indigenous homeland from invaders who wanted to take away our culture and religion.
It's the story of Jewish self-determination despite all odds.
Doesn't get more Zionist than that.
WOO!!!
Happy Hanukkah, guys!! I can’t believe it’s already here!!
Say it louder for the people at the back!!!
If you think:
- the Magen David (star of David) is a hate symbol
- the Shema (which begins with “Shema Yisrael” or “Hear, o Israel”), the primary Jewish declaration of its religious theology, is Zionist
- that using Hebrew makes someone “sus”
- that Jews that are visibly Jewish due to their jewelry or dress should just “stop wearing things that make it obvious” for their safety
- that it is acceptable to protest or threaten a Jewish synagogue, school, or community center. . .
You can keep your “Happy Hanukkahs” to yourself. They’re empty, meaningless, and frankly offensive.
i listen to hallelujah the way non-jews listen to mitski:
through tears
Jewish Johnny Cage, please
I once saw a fanart of Johnny Cage and Cassie celebrating Hanukkah (I think) together (Sonya was there too). I can't remember if it was Hanukkah specifically, but it was a Jewish related celebration. Now I can't unsee Johnny Cage as Jewish, and desperately headcanon him as such.
Any thoughts?
