Request:Alright so November's comin up and that means I gotta start thinkin of how imma be celebrating day of the dead so I was wondering..how would the papas react to their Hispanic s/o giving them a lil day of the dead sugar skull makeover? Would they let them do it in the first place?(Copiaisoptionallmao)

Also, I love this idea but im having a hard time momentarily existing in a universe where any of the papa's or copia would refuse any sort of make up. honestly, I think they'd all be fully down for whatever you wanted them to do, be it just makeup, or celebrating with you. Also please be warned I do not know a lot about this holiday, and I tried to do a little research but every website told me that everyone celebrates it a little differently, so i thought id be best to keep it a little more vague in terms of like Specific Things They Would Do. (also if you know anywhere i can find a comprehensive guide to this holiday where i could actually learn more about it that isnt from wikipedia I would very much enjoy reading that!!!)  I hope you like it:

Papa I: is excited to learn about his s/o religious traditions no matter what they are, even if they don't align with his own beliefs.. he's old, and he does always say "cant teach an old dog new tricks", but you can teach an old dog new things about a culture he doesn't know much about.

Papa II: I wouldn't expect him to get all giddy and excited about it, but he'll definitely do the things with you. He'll let you pain his face and he'll go to as many celebrations with you as you want, and he wont even complain once. He likes the idea that there's a specific set of days for everyone to mourn the ones theyve lost rather than just their birthdays or the anniversaries of their death, and says he finds it unifying that everyone can come together to celebrate the lives of their friends and family who have passed.

Papa III: Like i said, down for wearing any sort of makeup, especially when he doesn't have to put it on himself, and especially when it comes to supporting his s/o. shockingly enough, this papa knows a lot about the day of the dead already, as he spent a lot of his alone time when he was young (looking in the mirror and) researching other religions and beliefs and traditions - he was searching for something more colorful he could throw himself into rather than plain old black and white church he was already a part of. Though he did become a Papa, that knowledge stuck with him, so he's more than happy to finally be able to see it celebrated in his real life.

Cardinal Copia: now that its WILDLY apparent I dont like copia i dont think any of you are gonna believe me that I genuinely think this Nice Copia thing, but here we go. He's literally so excited about this. He always goes way overboard so he'll spend a week staying up all night (if not weeks) learning about the holiday's history and traditions and how his s/o celebrates. By the end he'll probably know more things and random facts about it than they do.
