It's the Holiday Season!
Holidays in the time of COVID are going to be. . .interesting. Wear ya mask! Be careful when going places that are indoors because that's where spread could be the highest. If you plan to visit family, be careful. Set boundaries, make sure you stay safe and they do as well.
And on that note, let's talk about fun stuff! Music! My family's Catholic, I'm not. My parents agree with me that the church has done some AWFUL shit, but we are big fans of Pope Francis. He's awesome. I love listening to Christmas music, it's one of my favorite genres of music. The classics to the modern stuff, Bing Crosby to the Barenaked Ladies. The Barenaked Ladies actually brings me to my next point!
So. My absolute FAVORITE song on their holiday album is Hanukkah Blessings. It's beautifully done, gorgeously sung, and the lyrics in Yiddish only make it better. I know, I know, I'm not Jewish. None of my family is. I don't go around preaching teachings from the Torah or appropriating Jewish culture. I have an appreciation for it. Hanukkah Blessings is a song that I just happen to love. People can enjoy music from other cultures. To all those who say that's a bad no-no, it's not like we're profiting off of it. And to all those confused about why the Barenaked Ladies have three Hanukkah songs on their holiday album-one of their members is Jewish. They wanted to honor that member and celebrate his religious holiday.
So, wrapping this shit up, be kind! Be understanding. Don't use another's culture and parade it as your own. Go ahead and play that Hanukkah song if you're Christian and enjoy it. Just don't try and profit off of it. The holiday season is a time for understanding, joy, and kindness. It's my favorite time of year. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Enjoy your holidays! Whether it's Kwanza, Hanukkah, Christmas, or some other winter holiday I'm forgetting.

Lilith
This is the beginning of the side/supporting character list, and descriptions. Mind that I’ve added some characters since first creating the list a bit back. Anyway here’s Lilith.
Lilith is the mother of all demons. She is mother to the 4 young princes (Mammon, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Belphegor). Before that she was the first woman to be created.
Lucifer watched from the walls around Eden and admired her. He’d sneak in to speak with her. He fell in love with her. Adam didn’t seem to even care about her and blatantly disrespected her existence. So, Lucifer tried to take Lilith from Eden.
God didn’t like this. So he cast away Lucifer and Lilith. They made a home for themselves in hell where they laid.
Lilith learned soon that she had importance to the world though. Her existence in this world was to give life. This isn’t about “being a mother” no. She stepped into hell and grass began to grow. And for the world above to do the same she’d need to be there. So, she made a deal with God and her new husband. She would travel and bring life, then come home to hell.
This version of her is heavily inspired by persephone. She’s one of my favorite gods.
