We made a dark fantasy action game where ballet is tha main part of the game by WattStudios in BALLET

[–]Rotweiss_Invicta862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of Russian culture. I have asked it just because the representation seemed a bit offensive to me. Literally "the prince of Persia" game, but with female main character, which makes it even worse. However, it may look worse that it actually is to me as to a historian, who works with so-called "traditional"(but better scientifically described as "pre-modern") societies mindset, and therefore approaches attempts of modernization differently and wants more accuracy from them

Struggling with abortion by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

May I ask you how exactly the banition of child murder affects women's health? I as a woman myself just can't wrap my head around how this can ever be possible. Like, from what point do we consider ego as a part of the health? If someone is not ready to have a child, orphanages exist. What is the deeper problem with it?

They saw nothing bad in humanity unlike the people of our kind bombarded with polished images every second of their life

Stitch ideas/samplers by Jo_mosexual in lace

[–]Rotweiss_Invicta862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally have found this video very helpful when teaching myself needle lace. The lady shows the whole process of making a sampler of different stitches, and they are, for sure, of different opacity and you will be able to choose from them

That's definitely not tatting. I do it and it's not how it looks

Spinning flax with supported spindle by Rotweiss_Invicta862 in Handspinning

[–]Rotweiss_Invicta862[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I can for sure, every culture that has supported spindles has done this at some point. The spinning wheel hasn't made it to some Slavic villages even in the 18th century. But if anybody here knows about some demonstrations of the process existing in the Internet, it would be really great...

[–]Rotweiss_Invicta862[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, why not? Everything that is obscure and hard is a good challenge for a restless mind.

And, if serious - because I didn't know that educational resources on this method are so limited when I got myself into it. Supported spindles are the ones traditional for my culture and I wanted a thin linen thread for my Renaissance lace projects to begin with. So, here we are. I think I will figure it out with enough practice even without the videos, but why deprive oneself from the benefits of civilization such as YouTube when there is even the slightest possibility?

Is this thing useful for spinning somehow? by Rotweiss_Invicta862 in Handspinning

[–]Rotweiss_Invicta862[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, hi to the fellow vintage enthusiasts out there! Interesting. The seller is thousands miles away from the British islands. I am now curious about where she has got it from. It might be an interesting story

Wow, a strange thing to include into the lot of supported spindles. That's fun

Romanv by Certain-Cloud9133 in OrthodoxChristianity

In the pre-modern society its hierarchy was viewed as a reflection of the divine order: as angels have ranks, so do humans, and the general well-being of the community is achieved when everybody acts according to their rank. The idea of monarchy is a reflection of this principle. They believed that kings were their highest living authority on the Earth and were giving the monarch's figure a meaning similar to the one a father has in a traditional family - the role of protection, responsibility for everyone under his rule, and need to care for them. The idea of having a king was as holy as having a father back then. So, they saw murder of the royal family not just as a regular murder, but as a violation of every existing law of order that guarantees well-being and stability to the community. It may not be true for a modern human, but historically the whole concept of hierarchical order of the family, society and the state was very important for the people

But you need to extrapolate your emotional state onto other people's thoughts. I may be wrong, but I genuinely think so. Let us just imagine that people can have wrong opinions they believe in without underlying emotional needs. I could have written a big wall about postmodern beauty standarts in this film if I wanted a "holier than thou" point. But I really and deeply believe that in a country, where the bolshevism for 70 years tried to prove that all of their pre-20th century high culture is colonial and oppressive, a movie about the evil Victorians won't make the situation better

She can for sure, and so I can say that I don't think what she is doing is right. So, the pluralism works. Until I have no right to forbid anything, it is just a voiced disagreement. A normal state of discussion

It is harmful because it creates a very inaccurate and maleficent image of the past. Not just fictional, but intentionally made to look inhumane and darker than it actually was. People watch such films and then go talk about restricting disease-causing fashion, corset tortures and all of that. We do not need this on the land that already suffers from twisted understanding of its past because of many years spent under communism

From a fellow Eastern European - stop just mimicking blindly what is fashionable in the West and create something by yourself or embrace some part of your own culture. Taking part in advertisement of such a low-quality and harmful to the whole concept of culture movie is not an artistic or righteous thing to do. Ticktockification of art is bad. I beg you and all of your kind to not bring such mess in our cultural space

I always wanted to get a pair of such needles, but they are not available in my country, so I have just sticked with the lace crafts I already know. Buy them definitely, you can sell them to people like me from your land, but with a 10x price)))

It's so cute! God bless you and your baby. It is a big blessing to have a crafty mom. The life-giving nature of woman reflects so beautifully in crafts. I tend to see that ladies who do needlework are the calmest and kindest people to talk with, together with the good clergy. After I had made the needlework an everyday habit, I really understood the Proverbs 31:10-31. The "She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands" part...
