i hate how easy it is to say “i only did 34 lines of dialogue today ☹️” when it’s not just the copy but also all the work before it, filling out the LineID, CharacterID, status, tone (whisper, shout etc), context comment, developer comment, localization comment, and tags as well

Every year, hundreds of people in Bulgaria don elaborate monster costumes, often with large bells attached, and parade through villages and into people's homes to scare off evil and bring good luck. These "monsters" are called kukeri. The costumes vary from region to region: some are covered in long fur that streams in the wind as the kukeri dance, while others are elaborately embroidered and embellished with beads, glass, and bone, topped off with an equally adorned mask. Many costumes have leather belts with dozens of large bells attached to them. Subtle the kukeri are not. The costumes are designed to scare away evil with their loud clanging and monstrous appearance. Traditionally, these costumes are either inherited or carefully sewn and embellished by the owner. Until recently, all kukeri were men, and in many places, taking part in the kukeri dance was seen as a rite of passage. Often, costumes are passed down from one generation to the next, and new costumes are made by the owner, possibly with help from local craftspeople. While needlework in Bulgaria was considered women's work, the kukeri were an exception: men would work on their costumes throughout the year. Kukeri costumes are incredible pieces of folk art and offer a unique glimpse back in time because the tradition of the kukeri is quite old. In fact, it is so old that we don't know when it started. Some estimates suggest that the kukeri originated more than 4,000 years ago. While they are pagan in origin, the kukeri now appear around important Christian holidays. In some areas of Bulgaria, you can find the kukeri between Christmas and the Epiphany (January 6), and in other areas, the kukeri come the Sunday before Lent. #archaeohistories
