throwing my hat in the ring with my own cunty chilchuck amv that happens to push the slavchuck agenda w a classic russian club banger (and a companion to my yalla senshi amv!)
I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]
Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big
He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:
During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang
Come, I will tell you the legend of the blacksmith's daughter, and how she stole the heart of a demon.
Book III of The Moth and the Bear, The Summer Road, is coming out this summer!
I love the idea of Kellaborn people painting and sharing stories about Ruyak and Kaelin after meeting them on their journey. I suspect generations later there are many tales and interpretations, possibly even a whole mythos. Everyone who meets them is certainly changed by them.
🌿🍃 having conversations with my mutuals all over the world, i was stunned to find out that not every country/culture practices drinking herbal teas for health issues. as a slavic person i decided to create this little guide because – and i'm saying this as a skeptical person who hates superstitions – they really work. 🌿🍃
mint tea (mentha piperita) is for digestion and relaxation
chamomile tea (matricaria chamomilla) is for digestive system
horsetail tea (equisetum arvense) is for skin, hair, nails condition, remineralization and circulatory system
linden tea (tilia cordata) is for a cold
lemon balm tea (melissa officinalis) is for relaxation and sleep
nettle tea (uritca dioica) is for urinary tract
sage tea (salvia officinalis) is for when your throat or teeth hurt
fennel tea (funiculum vulgare) is for digestive system
white mulberry tea (morus alba) is for carbohydrate metabolism
pansy tea (viola tricolor) is for clean skin and body detox
purge tea (cistus incanus) is for immunity
hawthorn tea (crataegus monogyna) is for heart and circulatory system
damian leaves tea (turnera diffusa) is for anxiety and libido
dandelion tea (taraxacum officinale) is for liver, stomach and digestion
st john's wort tea (hypericum perforatum) is for emotional balance, good mood, digestive system and kidney function
🌿🍃 to create this guide i was using a booklet from my pharmacy store. if you google them, you will find out that each of these have even more usage methods than the ones listed. 🍃🌿
🌿🍃 if you're from a different country/culture and you know more herbal teas like these, feel free to add them. 🍃🌿
god i hate that jk rowling used the term veela (vila) for her harpy-like seductress creatures bc like, in their original context (slavic mythos, particularly south slavic, and, in some contexts, west slavic) theyre like woodland fairies/nymphs.
and given that she refers to bulgaria as far north and cold its no wonder that she made them all blond haired blue eyed (🙄) (she doesnt know anything abt the balkans)
Love being obsessed with characters that are barely mentioned or don't have that much stuff about them. That guy over there?? Yeahh i love them. They are mentioned like once. I reread the sentence where their name appears over and over again to feed myself
