The First Feather of Spring | Worldbuilding

[@etamuni6815]

omg that's so cute! the way children discover how the first feather of spring works feels very real, just like when we discover that our parents are the ones that put presents and easter eggs for us to find. Also, would the Sirksey incorporate this in their language? like when someone says "they found many feathers as a child" would represent someone that was raised with much love because their parents hid many feathers for them or when someone have very good luck means they found many years worth of feathers as children

[@mattricks21]

It's the same world in which people's words have a magical power, right? I'm imagining the little children calling out for the feathers to show up. "Hello First feather! Where are you? Show up, please?", leading adults to subtly lead them to where they hid the feather earlier.

[@NakariSpeardane]

That is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE

[@sketchyart8411]

This is like finding out Santa isn’t real but instead of being sad it’s only the part where you feel smart and adult I love it

The sending off of daughters with a cloak of feathers by fathers (“a whole lifetime of luck”) gave me all the warm fuzzies

[@jasperware818]

i almost cried at fathers making their daughters feather clothes before they join a different family, because gathering feathers was their first bonding time, that's so sweet

[@helenajakobsen6220]

i really liked the part where all of the feathers means somthing posetive, i can just imagine a child bursting in to the head of the village and him just being like "wow good job this means that this year will be super lucky!" and the kid just being over the moon for the next month

Being this early, I feel like I found the first feather of spring, but I’m thirty so I’ll just tuck this baby away and leave a nice comment for the youngins later

[@horseenthusiast9903]

That's such a neat premise! I particularly liked the idea of a father sewing feathers into his daughter's cloak before she leaves; it's very bittersweet, and such a nice expression of love.

The praise thing reminded me of when my sister and I hunted four-leaf clovers, because my sister was really obsessed with lucky things. I don't remember whos idea it was but there were us little kids in a trailer park just searching for four-leaf clovers in a whole patch of three-leaf clovers and somehow, my sister kept finding a whole bunch of them and showing giving them to my mom, who praised her and continued to talk to a friend who owned the trailer we were visiting. It wasn't until the seventh or eighth clover fell apart when it was found out that my sister was actually spending the time crouched down diligently tying clover stems together to make it look like she had found a four-leaf clover, when it was actually two clovers and one was ripped more finely to be tied discreetly. (my siblings and I spent our childhood tearing plants apart to figure out what they looked like and to make crude decorations, so both my sister and I were good at carefully stripping plants and re-assembling them with our bare hands). My mother stopped praising her when this was found out , but I had found my own naturally-formed four-leaf clover soon afterwards and I felt accomplished, but wasn't praised quite as much as my sister because I was slightly older and less childish overall, even though I worked very hard to find the actual "lucky" clover without adult intervention (plus I think my mom was tired dealing with a lot of little kids who all wanted attention). I wonder if any Sirksey child has ever tried to fake a feather just for the praise? Or perhaps used magic to conjure one up? Interesting video, I stumbled across your channel a while ago and you have a lot of interesting and neat ideas!

You really have a talent for creating a soft and very welcoming world that is, at the same time, credible and in a very harsh environment. The sense of community you create in your culture sounds real and feasible, a very clear consequence of their way of living. Thank you for sharing your amazing work!

[@yolkcheeks]

I love this idea in particular and have been meaning to comment in general how much I appreciate the ways you use familial tender moments to help us understand the society or world at large- it's great how each video on the Serksey or any other magic-using people feels so grounded in those real emotions.

[@NakariSpeardane]

Thank you so much! It's important to me that my people feel like they're real with real emotions and affection for each other, so I'm happy that came through :D

[@hobbesfield1082]

Gosh I just wish to sprinkle you with constant praise, your videos are adorable and interesting and insightful

[@NakariSpeardane]

Thank you so much!! :D

[@itacom2199]

Babe, wake up, Nakari has uploaded a new video

[@sophie9419]

That last sentence really made me smile

[@Katerina-kqkq]

Note for self: all cultures must have an alternative to “Santa doesn’t exist”

[@honeydragon3909]

Everything about your content makes me so happy! and here I go getting all inspired again

[@kairon156]

Very cute social theme for this episode. I wonder if maturing children will start to take part in more grownup chores and tasks. Say gutting fish or prepping things for the coming winter.

[@TSBoncompte]

this conworld is just adorable i love it

[@ainsleyzirkle2485]

I love your channel sooooo much! All your ideas are incredibly creative and wonderful! And your art style is awesome!!! I don't really have a funny or witty point to this comment. Your videos are just some of my favorite on KZbin!

[@NakariSpeardane]

Thank you so so much! 💛

[@ziril3972]

I was just lamenting how fast I'd gone through the rest of your content earlier! Love this stuff, its great, great channel. Love it.

[@LightDhampire]

Way to gut punch the feels at the end.

[@NakariSpeardane]

Thank you! And good luck with your own channel, I look forwards to watching :D

[@worldbuildingjuice]

You have a discord? Where can i join? Or is it only for patreon supporters?

[@NakariSpeardane]

I don't have one (yet), that prompt was from PastelGnome's discord!

[@worldbuildingjuice]

@@NakariSpeardane oh i see, thanks! Let us know if (when) you make one!

[@cowardtalks]

You pictured a child here with no special belt on, women’s or men’s. Does it mean the goddess sees them as sexless? And they choose their sex when they are old enough to wear gendered clothing? (You make really cool and interesting stuff and i like to go and rewatch your videos sometimes. Such as today :) )

[@asloii_1749]

yay im (kinda) early
