the way we as a species get excited about the changing of the seasons. has got to be one of the greatest aspects of human life on earth.
if aliens come visit and ask about our culture, theyre gonna see that all of our holidays and rituals can be divided into centering around 4 different climates that our planet rotates through
that as our weather and habitat goes through these changes we’ve learned to celebrate each effect it has whether its the heat of summer or the cold of winter or the bloom of spring or the death of fall, like, we learn to go “hell yeah its time to get sunburnt and enjoy liveable outdoor temperatures!” or “fuck yes i love when trees are dead and we gather around fireplaces indoors to stay alive!”
we LOVE IT and celebrate the fuck out of it!!! like bring us to your planets, we’ll find a way to party in any situation!! if ur planet turns into boiling lava every 3rd revolution we’ll make up holidays to relate to each other about it!!
I know what you mean. I got fucking excited when my store brought in the autumn sodas. Apple crisp soda is the absolute fucking best and it comes only during autumn!
