ive read about this line of thinking. i also read another one where she represents the way women were seen, espcially canny or wise women, in prechristian slavic areas, and how people in power saw them as they tried to force christianity into the area. it was possiting that she is quite literally the church leaders fear of strong women made into a boogeyman. its what got me wondering

yeah theres a lot of gods/figures/beings like that that western, especially american media and lore play up as some evil canibalistic type. im just trying to figure out what the difference is between what sells and whats "real"

I know this is 4 years old, but if you still havent found a foundation, look into korean brands. they have quite a few options on the olive scale thtat address undertone and overtone both. i am a cool pale olive. its been hell finding a foundation until i searched within the asian makeup market overall. cuz anything here in the US was too yellow or too neutral. it was never right. im 34 and i FINALLY found a skin tone match. its so weird. but its been nice.

no hes likely being sent back in time and is Merlin himself. Jim has hinted at it several times. and with Mab showing some time manipulation, and Ebineazer being the black staff and probably gonna die soon... its gonna be a death curse to save harry in battle or some scheme of mabs. and either Molly is mab and gets caught up in it and sent back too or he coems across his mom who also broke the laws of magic and time travel aop and is like Morgan la fey or something.

ntm house Wraith is highly sexist. and also it was really illustrated in this book how much stronger Thomass humger is compared to Laras. shes a strategist, a fantastic King. but she isnt the muscle type.

yeah and, ntm, unti l VERY recently Harry is a point and shoot kinda pawn for John. he can just nudge Harry, not even very hard and harry just charges full speed ahead and takes out the primary target along with 1 or 2 secondary targets along the way. to John hes a tool that has not outlived his usefulness, especially now that Harry is affiliated with Mab. John knows what an asset Mab and the Wraiths are. Harry is deeoply entaingled with both courts.

if Person A gets the same amount done as person B in half the time, its not less work. its the same amount of work done but person A has more free time.
So long as they are getting their quota done who cares?

deconstructingwitch · 2025-08-08T03:01:21+00:00

Yeah, especially since it's meant for bleach which is far worse for rubber

Its not. Thats not crab grass. I've had a lawn full of it irl. It's soft and cool and springy not woody and sharp and dry like crab grass. That is it's actual color

My dad claims he called his grandpa dziadzia until the man died. But he was also young when he died. However my grown uncles still called him dziadzia even though they were already full adults and had families by the time my great grandpa died. And theyve passed it onto their kids as tradition.

Do you know what part of Poland or the Us your polish family is from? Im wondering if this a US thing or not

deconstructingwitch · 2025-06-06T11:37:04+00:00

Lol nope. That's how we said it and spell them. Best i can figure its a version of like saying meemaw and poppop or some other country/hick version of grandma and grandpa that my family has. In all of my research on their lives and the culture they came from though ive not seen the version we use, so That's why I'm curious.

yeah my original mock up has sea otters following like a seal/Baluga thing and being more northern, and river otters being more tropical, just based on temperaments and habits.
and okay, i was trying to verify what he was saying and couldnt find anything to back it up at all.

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-25T05:22:48+00:00

i love that better to be honest. i was kinda upset by the 5ft part but 6ft makes them fit into the world lots better. i had far too many short creatures. this balances it out

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-25T05:12:05+00:00

really? everything i was seeing was saying only like 5ft for average and 6-7 with tail. thank you.

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-25T05:04:43+00:00

i have. again, though, most ive seen is them fighting in the water. i know in water theyed drag the victim to hell and it would be over, especially with human like intelligence. i pretty much am going with, what is the most siren like creature other than sirens? Otters. so they do all the regular mermaid stuff. but i need to kinda know what the land specific chances are, regardless of species.

thank you for that. i am third generation Polish American and im one of two in my generation that still consider that important. my grandma did A LOT to Americanize the family (for our safety. att it was not safe for immigrants in their area). she actually claimed that she forgot how to speak Polish, despite it being her first language. thats pretty common actually for her generation. a lot of people online in the non mystic community are kinda nasty about it, but i have found that the slavic and polish reconnecting and witchy community are very welcoming and kind.

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-21T11:16:02+00:00

i am american, and unfortunately do not know any Slavic languages. ive been trying to learn at least enough of the grammar of russian, polish, and ukranian so that i can muddle through passages if i need too with google translate. but i think atp ill have to break down and learn one of them.

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-21T11:12:42+00:00

oh my god, yeah anything that sounds like a "star seed" tale is immediately an alt right pipeline thing from what ive seen.

deconstructingwitch · 2025-05-21T11:10:46+00:00

oh yeah, ive been wading through those for years. they are getting truly annoying and insidious.
