Alternatively if DW went for Carnival they wanted a Brazilian but that's too rare and rational to generalize.

What's so wrong with Quetz's outfit that makes it comparable with Jack's?
Christmas theme aside, have you ever seen the outfits people use to dance samba?
Quetz looks great and runs with the dance theme, it's not just there for fanservice like the others you are complaining about

It just seems like a standard samba outfit with some christmas flair
In fact it seems tame compared to some of the more extravagant ensembles you see at Carnaval
I will take Santa Waver over Santa Nero. The padoru memes are what made me ignore the FGO subreddit for a week.

Also Ho-Oh Quetz is 10/10.
FWIW the idea of Quetzalcoatl as Santa Claus actually has a historical basis
Yeah, Mexico tried replacing Santa with Quetzalcoatl in the 1930s.
Set your mind back to 1930. At that time, any important decision had to go through the man in the presidential chair, in this case Pascual Ortiz Rubio. Santa Claus was condemned to disappear due to the presidents desire to reinforce the indigenous roots into the Christmas celebration. His main purpose was to instill in the children hearts a love for the symbols, divinities and traditions of the Mexican culture.
El Universal published an article with the following title: “Quetzalcóatl will be the Christmas symbol”. It did not take too long to cause controversy among citizens. Some of them were questioning it: “Are we going to pray to Quetzacoatl? Should we now pray in Nahuatl (the Aztec language)?”.
Ismael Vidales, a pedagogue, explained that there were arguments against Quetzalcóatl due to its image. In Mexican mythology, it is represented as a snake covered with feathers. You can tell that a snake did not have the best appeal for kids. It was later announced that it would not be represented as a snake. Instead a more Western Quetzalcoatl was introduced. His image was similar to a Mexican Santa Claus.
Some companies played with the new Quetzalcoatl – Santa in their ads. GE, as in General Electric, was quick to sell their fridges: “Either from the Three Wise Men, Santa or Quetzalcoatl, there could be not a better gift than this”.
No matter what campaign was used, society did not feel attached to the new indigenous tradition. As a last effort to consolidate the image of Quetzalcóatl, the government organized an event on December 23rd at the National Stadium. The set was a pyramid. There were some dancers performing a ritual in honor of the god. Quetzalcoatl, along with the Three Wise Men and the President’s wife, delivered gifts to more than 10,000 children who attended the event.
In spite of the effort made, Quetzalcóatl was Santa for only one year. As soon as 1931, no one remembered that bearded man in Aztec garments bringing toys to kids. Quetzalcoatl remains as the most important god in Aztec mythology, but few now realize that for one year, he was the Christmas man.

Can't believe Ho-Oh is happening. We just got Lugia recently too.

My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
Huh...

Well that made me laugh at a bad time. I hope you're happy.
Am I the only one who's lukewarm about the whole Pokemon reference?

The padoru memes aren't just in Fate stuff now.
I remember when that minitheatre first came out and ppl were like "oh so that's why nero is a shit singer"
all shitting on nero
how times have changed
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Brazil can into Type-Moon. I always knew Quetz had good taste. She just forgot the memo that Carnival is on February. Not going to complain, though.
You're missing out.
Though I agree that he doesn't look like lugia at all.
Swift☆chan's SupportsShiki Complete(ish)
Probably. But then again, I also ain't gonna buy a console just for one game.
