#Bone collecting

[queeresthellhound]

Because polls get the most engagement I’m making a poll lol

(For the sake of this poll: a collector is anyone who *currently has* a collection of things either physically or digitally that they intentionally acquired which can be grouped together)

Please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what you collect and optionally why!!!! (This is doubly true if your collection is related to a regulatory/“special” interest!!!!!!! That’s honestly the only reason I’m making this poll, I am begging youuuuuuuuuuu

Neurodivergent related tags are for reach as I know a lot of neurodiverse people are collectors. I do try my best not to clutter those tags, if anyone has an issue with it please tell me and I’ll remove them

I rarely post my regular non-fandom art stuff here but… bones… progress on my bone project™️

I sketch out the weird surreal-y forms based on what shapes I see stained onto the bone itself— the natural discolouration from decomposing in the woods. It kinda feels like I’m capturing their ghosttttt!!!!!! Every scapula is from the animal depicted on it (a horse and a deer, in this case).

There’s such a widespread ignorance regarding vulture culture. Yet there are sooooo many wildly varying groups of people who connect over it… pagan folk, indigenous peoples, biology nerds, goths, country folk, artists, archaeologists, general nature lovers, entomology nerds, zoologists… the list goes on.

I love bones, I love the stories they tell, I love getting to hold and examine and clean and identify them, I love getting to KNOW them. I love getting to give them a warm place to rest. I love keeping that piece of them alive and loved. I think that’s what people don’t understand about vulture culture.

We don’t collect dead things because we’re twisted sickos who enjoy suffering??? We do it because some core part of our identity connects deeply with nature and life’s cycle— and because we have an immense appreciation and respect for every stage of it. I myself am pagan, that cycle is so central to my practice/ beliefs. I am also autistic, and my special interest happens to be vulture culture. Just because I collect and preserve the dead doesn’t mean I’m going to like… bite? Idek what people expect. I just want to talk about osteology and give you cool animal facts. I can introduce you to my bone collection, I can tell you each animal’s individual story- I take care to remember them all.

You look at the dead and see suffering. I look at the dead and see what once lived, what grew, I feel so proud of them for that, I see their beauty, their worth even when they’re grotesque and withered. I witness a step in the ever-marching cycle of life. Just because it’s unsightly to you doesn’t mean it’s undeserving of love. There is no life without death, and so I worship death as I do life. When you die, you will rot, and THERE IS BEAUTY IN THAT!!!!

“i do taxidermy so i need to get a different scent of dish soap for my dishes” is really a sentence that only makes sense for the smallest group of people ever

Bone Collector skater skirt by @vetiverfox

Complete with super deep pockets that you could indeed collect bones in! (Witch Vamp and Vetiverfox are not responsible for any "Bone Stealing Witch" accusations you may receive when walking around with massive pockets full of clattering bones)

Found this ABSOLUTELY sick skull while I was out foraging. I think it might be a muntjac deer skull but I'm not certain at all - any thoughts appreciated! Found in Cambridgeshire, UK.
