daggerheart looks really fun! Not a huuuge fan of the card and tokens scheme since that's something that doesn't translate too well imho as someone that plays 100% online, but other than that it looks really fun and promising!

#text post #critical role #daggerheart #i do really really really like the ancestry and heritage combo idea #and all the ancestries they created for it are really fun #i love the idea of more bug looking faeries and the mushroom and monkey ppl seem really fun to play with!

to anyone with ancestors who survived An Gorta Mór (The Great Famine, who also has a binging/restricting eating disorder... i can guarantee you, there has got to be at least one person in your lineage who would be happy to see you eat well. your ancestors who starved, who had to see their loved ones get sick or die... they would be happy to see you healthy, and deeply saddened to see you in this pain - yes, even if you're fat. especially if you're fat.

if you don't have it in you to eat for your own wellbeing... i hope that maybe, it might help to think of them. to do it for them, the people who survived such great pain, such great hunger, and would never want you to feel that pain too. you are not alone. the love they had for their descendants lives on in you. you are made of the survival of the irish... in spite of colonialism and mass death, no matter how disconnected from your family's culture you may be.

you are loved.

I'm doing a lunar ritual tonight and then on Samhain my family (who doesn't practice) and I are going to make a big dinner of beef stew, molasses bread, mulled apple cider, and soul cakes.

My family is very celtic and to start traditions like this means the world to me. We already do some Irish things that we've done since my great grandma came from Ireland (like my mom's shepards pie recipe handed down from my grandma or black eyed peas eaten on new years)

After the food festivities I plan on doing tarot with my sister or working on developing my claircognizance.

With all that being said I hope some of these things inspires you to pre-plan for Samhain too! Merry Samhain and Happy Halloween!

L'expérience concluante du nihilisme enseigne à contrario qu'être homme c'est être de quelque part, appartenir à une lignée, à une tradition, parler et penser dans une langue antérieure à toute mémoire, que l'on reçoit à son insu et qui forme la perception de façon définitive.

i love how "polish" muricans are like yeah i'm POLISH bc great grandma was polish i LOVE my country, i'm a BIG patriot, Koscuzko am i right?🇵🇱 but when someone tells them that a sentence in polish that they have tattooed some bullshit that doesn't make sense, that theior "traditional" polish dish is a horrible abomination unknown to mankind and that they do not have better knowlegde about very basic polish words than native speakers suddenly they're like "hope your shithole country gets bombed by russia 😠🖕🤬"

I know the developers weren’t think of this but Sebek’s birthday and overall look has funny design when it comes to his birthday in the US.

Sebek’s hair is green

Sebek’s wearing green

Sebek’s in a green dorm

And his birthday is on March 17th….St. Patrick’s Day in the US and Ireland.

Essentially, I headcanon that Sebek is half-Irish.

#twst meme #twst wonderland #twisted wonderland #sebek zigvolt #twst sebek #Sebek has silently been giving us clues to his Irish heritage #he may hate being a half-human but he won’t disrespect his papa’s heritage #especially when he was born on such an important day for his supposedly Irish ancestry #twst headcanons #sebek headcanons #st patricks day #also Sebek being Irish also adds a bit more as to why he values the fae and his Fae side so much

Also just as an fyi using "norse" as a collective term for current-day nordic or scandinavian people and languages is both incorrect and also, notably, a very common narrative in white supremacist and neonazi communities so like. I'm not saying anyone's inherently a bad person for this but it might be worth having a think about why this is the word used okay thank you 😊

#i see a lot of people using it here probably innocently #at she same curve as im being exposed to more and more yknow #neopagan white supremacy bullshit in my social feeds and its #the sort of path its easy to go down on accident especially #with north american ideas of nationality and ancestry where #a lot of stock is in your blood heritage which makes a lot of sense for indigenous peoples and minorities but gets #really ugly real fast when you start applying them to national majorities because THAT #make them oppressive and ALSO #when scandinavians talk about being scandinavian it isnt about genetic heritage #but about culture and language #thank you for coming to my tedtalk

A bit morbid but I've been doing research on how much of my family died in the Holocaust. It's something that I've been aware of and curious about since I was a child but never had specific details on. My great grandparents on my Booba's side are from Russia, Belarus, Romania, and Poland. My immediate relatives all immigrated to the USA around the 1890s, up to the third generation of grandparents. This is why my Great Grandpa and my Great Great Grandpa fought in WW2 as American soldiers. The family that was most heavily affected by the Holocaust were the ones who stayed in Poland, my Great Great Great Grandfather's brothers and sisters and their family. All but three of the family members from Symcha Flapan's (my 3rd Great Granduncle) line died either in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, or vaguely in Poland around 1942. For context that is 43 people (and that's only accounting for Symcha's direct descendants, I haven't looked into his siblings yet), of which all but 3 perished. The details on each death are vague with only one clarifying the cause of death as starvation and a handful stating that they were Holocaust victims, which I'm assuming is based on their names having been included on a list. Many records of relatives abruptly end with no details other than where their last residence was, most of which were in Lodz Ghetto but a few were in Warshaw. As for where I am getting all this information, my Booba is very interested in Genealogy and has been compiling records of our family since the 1970s. I will continue to update information I find here as I go through my family tree.

I've said this before, but I really do want to learn greek! Because on my mother's I am in part greek, with my grandfather being greek, and his parents being a woman from the greek minority in Romania, and a greek man from the minority in Istanbul, who went to Romania after WW1. My mom, having a romanian mother and really only hearing greek at home from her dad and grandpa, never learned greek besides a few words and so she couldn't teach me, and I want to learn greek to honor my heritage (and because Greece and it's people fascinate me)

But idk, whenever I talk about it I feel like I'm being annoying...like whenever I try to tell people this it sounds kinda stupid to me. Having greek ancestry is something that is important to me and my family, but talking about it to people feels weird. I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#corin's lore #I want to be proud of my heritage but idk #Like I am romanian. And proud of it #And I also want to be proud of my greek ancestry. #Maybe its because I fear people not considering me greek enough i guess? #Idk

in honor of juneteenth, i've been researching my genealogy starting with my mom's side since I know a bit more about them and so far have learned:

my 5th great grandmother was mulatto and born in 1800 [<- i'm imagining the clothes she wore during the georgian and victorian era! i assume it's similar to the bayasoube video i posted earlier of the southern belle fashion 🥰]

most of my family on my mom's side is from southern and central alabama and have been for 6-7 generations (i.e around 170 years) (before that they seem to be from georgia and virginia)

my family is possibly alabama creole? they were in the right area at the right time and mixed so hm.... and maybe mississippi creole on my dad's side idk.

based on what i saw, the seven ancestors who lived before 1865 were all born free (besides maybe two or three)

my 4th great grandfather fought in the civil war as a member of the union side's colored troops in either alabama or georgia

my 4th great grandmother was a cook

i haven't found the indigenous ancestry that i was told about but i won't rule it out yet since it was supposed to be fairly recent and some laws makes it harder to be counted as part of a tribe especially if you're black during those time periods

etc etc.

it's really cool to learn and i wish i could learn more, unfortunately ancestry.com is mostly behind a paywall and dna tests are even more expensive and a girl gotta eat (and would like to help her parents do so as well) so.... since others have been asking today...

if anyone wants to send some money to help me out with either learning my heritage or buying groceries and gas that'd be great! my cashapp: $softestruler
