I don't remember where this happened or when, but according to the story someone, a researcher maybe, was visiting some local community in a rain forest and one evening a huge snake came in and wrapped itself around the fire. The locals told this person not to do anything and leave it alone. The snake stayed the night and had left by dawn. Well, in the morning this fella of course asked why no one did anything about the snake, why they let it stay. The answer was "It wasn't going to do anything. It was the spirit of a forefather who came to see us." Although I don't believe in spirits or such, this still is a beautiful story and I find their way of seeing the world comforting

#i don't remember all of the details but this is how it went down to the best of my recollection #oh and if someone knows this story please tell me more #story time #culture #traditional culture #traditional believes #spirits #reptiles #snakes #night

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull #these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe #to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists #I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth #and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country #which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull #answered #apricottheapricat #vulture culture #animal death #cw animal death #taxidermy #cw taxidermy

i am still soooo charmed by that one set of eyecatchers

#my art #zosan #one piece fanart #specifically as blue and i have been slowly working thru watching the raid on onigashima i have loved every time they do that thing where-#-they incorporate the motion of the scene into the motion of the first part of the eyecatcher #and then the other fist comes swinging w/ clownery lol #not specifically art for fic but like [anime villain glasses adjustment] i suppose i was thinking about my own Woeurke of Writinge...#ALSO in a very brief scrub-thru of some eps can you believe that you can literally only see part of sanji's shoulder in his yukata fit.#absolutely criminal. you can see the whole pattern when he's about to bitch out zoro re: hiyori but i had to guess at the pattern colors :^#i also know that yukata patterns can be like... modern/traditional or Gendered or in/formal but i have no idea of the specifics.....#one piece tag

Egypt 1919

#the third photo... even seen a woman so beautiful you cried #we NEED to bring those back i can't believe we let colonialism take away our beautiful clothing like that!#my mother (comes from a sa'idi village) said that while growing up women still dressed like that. and recently she went back to attend a #attend a funeral and she said she saw no tattoos no manadil nothing!!! it made me so sad because #i always assumed the reason i don't see traditional clothing around here is because i live in the city which is very modernized #but to hear that even in sa'id this is dwindling... no!!!

brought to you by "The Myth of Lesbian Impunity: Capital Laws from 1270 to 1791" by Louis Crompton

when you first start studying queer history: sapphic acts have basically never been criminalized in any western society! so queer women have always had it easier than queer men!

when you delve even the slightest bit deeper: why do we still believe this

(OP cannot control who does and does not reblog this post, but she firmly believes that trans women are women)

#history #lesbian #lgbt #queer history #queer #could it be...misogyny?#of earlier historians not caring enough about women to delve into legal cases concerning us?#and of a long tradition of 'women have it easy in society' fallacies?#I believed this too! for the record! nobody ever gave me reason to question it and I am a PROFESSIONAL HISTORY WORKER!

Home is where the heart is

(Alastiel is a vampire lord NPC from @luposlipaphobya's D&D campaign, Une Cour de Chair et de Charme!)

#vampire #dungeons and dragons #dnd #traditional art #chair et charme #my art #i love it when lupo asks the big and necessary questions like #what if you were in a toxic relationship with your house ?#(which believe it or not is a theme that is getting explored TWICE in this campaign)#anyway the city our PCs live in is half-alive (technically it's a whole vampire in itself) and alastiel is its... semi willing lover ?#it's complicated #anyway he's really fucked-up and tragic and i really like him !! bone grandpa

Me: I don't need a new fic idea, I already have so many!

My brain: But what if Bruno saves a wolf puppy and the pack basically adopts him as a member of the fam, and follow him around like puppies, and the Madrigals now have like ten wolves sitting in their courtyard around Bruno while Alma tries desperately to not have a heart attack?
