When you are trying to search for cute hairstyles for your short curly hair but it's the same slick backs, half up half down, and wavy haired people trying to convince themselves and the internet they have curly hair

Bought a henna cone excitedly just to discover later the brand is high with chemicals and was even pulled off of the shelves in Canada because of how harsh the chemicals in it are

btw its called Najma or mehdi gel cone, the packaging itself smells like burnt tires soooooo... that should be a red flag by itself and to add to that it most likely contains phenol which is corrosive

I REALLY want to believe that there's a moon knight season 2 because of the videos I've been seeing but idk if it's confirmed or just twitter rumors because I can't find any article about it being confirmed

I envy people who grew up with their culture but still want to be western for absolutely no reason.

I never knew about my circassian heritage because of how my mom was shamed for it by her half siblings (my grandma is circassian and my grandpa isn't) , even if I want to belong to the community it'll feel weird because most of them grew up with the food, the music, the dances, and then you have someone marching just wanting to be western.

Do you know how lucky you are?

Anyways that's today's rant

Recently, I've been getting back to the grishaverse and the whole trilogy.

I couldn't help but wonder, what is Leigh Bardugo's inspiration for the Ravkan clothing? Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing it especially since it looks like the clothing of the Kavkaz people, Circassians, Chechens etc etc. Kind of brought joy to my heart that our culture is recognized after the circassian genocide (Tsitsekun) happened, which I hope grishaverse fans will also recognize our culture like Leigh if that were her inspiration!

I'm only writing this because I was curious after searching "Ravkan clothing" and seeing some of our traditional clothing in the search, even one fanart of a grishaverse oc in it (no hate it looked beautiful), so simply its curiosity.

Edit: this is Circassian clothing if anyone is confused

Our culture is dying, since our country doesn't exist anymore and It would be so appreciated if everyone knows it as it is and not as "Ravkan clothing", I'm pretty sure it is also inspired by Chechen culture too.

Another Edit because I seriously can't believe it 😭: I've gone through some posts and it seems to be Imperial Russia, how do you mix circassian clothing and imperial russia?? Literally the ones who waged war and a genocide on us.
