Theyāre-
I could wash their feet with my tears but my tears would be too dirty
*ahem* time for cultural studies
Actually in my culture we touch peopleās feet, those who we regard highly, who we regard to be pure, honourable or divine (commonly our elders, teachers, ppl of personal choice) with the intention of touching to our foreheads the soil that they walk on/stand on (literally worshipping the ground they walk on) but not really smearing soil on our heads on the daily. Itās just the intention.
So someoneās feet are basically very pure if you regard them as such, and the mention of washing someoneās feet with oneās tears is kind of known culturally, evennn through Lord Krishnaās act of washing his friendās feet with his tears.
So yeah my bois are PURE for one thing, and like theyāre so pure even washing their feet with my tears to honour them would just sully them
>_> yanno.
All my attempts to honour them fall short.
Theyāre pure.
*oh and of course touching Deitiesā, Idolsā feet, even when from afar, or like touching the mud of a sacred place to our foreheads before walking on it, like a performerās stage for an artist, a templeās doorway for a devotee.
There doesnāt have to be actual mud. You donāt go digging through marble. But the intention.











Not me crying whenever any character so much as breathes
