Fasching could be considered as carnival but also as early Halloween. It's an old German custom which is verrrrry similar to Halloween tbh - which is why Halloween isn't that big where I live. We rather celebrate Fasching. On Fasching, the little ones go out for something like trick or treat, only that they have this rhyme to say before getting treats. I will translate it into English, expect the rhyme to be lost, especially since I need to translate Bavarian German xD I'm a young person in a costume* and I've got a big bad And since there's nothing in yet, I ask you for a treat * I don't think there's an English word summarizing that xD

Unlike Halloween, you can dress up as everything, but usually something silly. Since Halloween became a thing in Germany (I think), many people started to dress up as Halloween monsters on Fasching as well. On Halloween many people and clubs organize special parties which are usually colorful, funny and overall... nice. I've been there once, when I was a child so I can't explain well xD During some grades in school, there's even no class on the Friday before Fasching. Instead, the kids and teachers are celebrating the funny season together. Only the elder ones aren't. They need to study xD I kinda miss that jolly feeling around Fasching. But since I'm a school for people at least 16 years old... no Fasching celebrations anymore ;w;

Fasching is also the time of Krapfen (which are called donuts in English for some reason...). While you can buy Krapfen all over the year, you need to eat at least one during Fasching. Krapfen are usually filled with jam and covered with powdered sugar but during Fasching difffernt ones are sold as well, such as filled and covered with chocolate, etc.

That was a lot on Fasching now, I'm sorry xD But that reminded me that Nikorin is my most German-inspired Cure of them all. She may not be able to pronounce anything German (since she can't speak languages that aren't Japanese xD) but she is based on Vanillekipferl and I want her to... idk but I think it would make sense for her to make German sweets instead of Japanese or French ones!

I have heard of RWBY before but haven't watched it. My best friend said it was a good series tho!
