Nikki it’s ready for “ponerse púa” eating fried fish, Spanish ham and full of drinking rebujito, while dancing sevillanas 💕 (I’m literally dying with this!!!!!!)
On the night of the pescaito and the alumbrao, we sat in the booth with our family and loved ones, eating fried fish and drinking rebujito (manzanilla wine with soda, lemon slices and mint leaves. )
Before twelve o’clock at night, we all go out to the entrance of the fair, to see how they do “el alumbrao”, a moment where the whole fair goes from darkness to complete light, with all the coloured lights on. Later, we dance and laugh all night with our loved ones.
The best time of the year for me 💕🫶
It’s always funny to me when people who clearly know nothing about flamenco, Andalucía, or even the history of the traje de flamenca suddenly become experts the moment a fantasy game uses red ruffles and roses.
I’m literally from Sevilla. I grew up surrounded by flamenco aesthetics, Semana Santa imagery, old paintings, feria dresses, copla, majas, all of it. And this outfit does not read as “racist” to me at all. It reads exactly like what it is: a fantasy reinterpretation of Andalusian and goyesque aesthetics through the lens of an Asian fantasy game.
And honestly? That’s been happening for centuries already. The modern flamenco dress itself is the result of evolution, mixing popular Andalusian clothing, Roma influence, romanticism, theatrical fashion, majismo, etc. People act like there’s some sacred untouched “original flamenco outfit” when the entire aesthetic has always evolved and exaggerated itself.
Also, flamenco is already dramatic. That’s literally part of its identity. Roses, red and black, lace, earrings, powerful silhouettes, exaggerated femininity… these are not “harmful stereotypes”. They are actual visual elements deeply tied to the culture.
And no, it’s obviously not meant to be a historically accurate feria dress from modern Sevilla. It’s fantasy. The same way fantasy games exaggerate kimonos, hanfu, Victorian dresses, armor, gothic fashion and literally every culture they touch.
Some people online seriously need to stop deciding what should offend other cultures while knowing absolutely nothing about them. It’s getting exhausting.
To me this outfit feels more like a love letter to romanticized Andalusian aesthetics than mockery. And honestly? It’s gorgeous.
Hello everyone!!! First time posting here.
The first thing I’m going to say is that please don’t throw hate, or judge badly. The second thing is that we already have an appointment at the vet next week. Thank you!
Kali is a three-year-old female. About a month ago he began to move feathers but little by little he has become this appearance, full of down and with small areas without plumage on the top of the wings.
I’ll tell you a little about how he lives, and so you’ll have more information: he’s free from seven in the morning to five in the afternoon, approx. I work at home, so he practically lives outside his cage. She only uses it to sleep or if I have to go somewhere and I can’t watch her. It is an active bird, it likes to explore the house (on the ground, it has never been very flying, although when it feels like it it can fly perfectly) it has games spread throughout all the areas through which it moves, and I change them often. I make him alandous corners Around the house where you can find food to enrich your exploration adventures. He feeds on special pellets for forpus, I give him a mixture of vegetables and leaves that he can eat and from time to time the seed and honey bars.
It’s as usual. She is no depressed, nor aggressive, nor do I notice anything strange in her way of being. I haven’t seen her pull out feathers or wash compulsively.
As for the feathers, every year it gets made for a couple of weeks and then the new feathers come out and it becomes beautiful again. This time I see that she is getting a lot of cannons with feathers and those feathers are normal, but I don’t know why she is so disheveled.
Another detail is that he has only laid eggs the first year, the next two he has not laid, although he does not seem to have any kind of problem and the vet told me that that is not bad at all.
It’s my first Forpus, I’ve never had a little bird, so I’m worried about how it looks, I don’t know if it’s just a strong moult, or if something else happens to it.
Any advice is welcome. Thank you very much z!!!
I honestly think the Itzaland outfits have been telling a story this whole time and I feel insane because nobody talks about it.
When Behind Prayers released I immediately thought of Andalusian Virgen imagery. Not just “European church aesthetic”, but specifically the way the Virgin Mary is represented during Semana Santa in southern Spain. The veil, the jewelry, the expression, the whole atmosphere of restrained grief. It reminded me so much of those processions.
Then all the Itzaland storylines started revolving around death, fading civilizations, souls, rituals, endings, loss, rebirth etc. The whole region has had this strangely melancholic feeling since the beginning.
And NOW after months of that they release Petalfall Finale… which straight up feels inspired by flamenca dresses. The ruffles, flowers, movement, warmth, the dramatic femininity. Suddenly everything feels alive again. (And they release it one week after the Feria de Abril, the biggest feria in Andalucía… coincidence? )
Maybe I’m overthinking it but the progression feels way too perfect.
Because culturally those two aesthetics already belong together in Andalusia. You go from Semana Santa mourning imagery into feria season. Grief into celebration. Black veils into flowers and dancing. It’s literally part of the emotional rhythm of the culture.
So seeing Behind Prayers first and Petalfall Finale later genuinely feels intentional to me, especially with how much Itzaland keeps repeating themes about endings turning into new beginnings. ( Also releasing this dress, with all the símbolos it carries, at the boneyard)
It doesn’t feel like they randomly picked “Spanish aesthetics”. It feels like they understood the emotional symbolism behind them.
(I’m very sorry if this sounds like AI to you. I haven’t written it with AI, I’ve used Deepl to translate it from Spanish to English) (I used Hype flair because I don’t know how to categorize this , sorry )
You just skipped it
Every week same posts “story makes no sense” “writing is bad” and then when you ask ONE simple question about the plot suddenly silence lol
Some of you skipped half the dialogue speedran every quest tapped next next next and now act confused because the game didnt spoonfeed every mystery in a straight line
Infinity Nikki story is slow on purpose. It builds world, symbolism, character themes and connects through side lore, item text, npc lines, hidden details. You actually have to pay attention for more than 7 seconds
Not every story is made for people who need subway surfers under the screen
And please be honest for once. Say “I didnt read it” instead of “it makes no sense” because those are not the same thing at all
Its fine if you dont like slow storytelling. Its fine if lore hunting isnt for you. But pretending something is empty because YOU were impatient is hilarious
Anyway cant wait for the next person who skipped everything to explain to us why the plot is confusing
