Crowning Glory by Helene Baine Cincebeaux spotlights the incredible variety and stunning beauty of folk headdress found across Slovakia and Moravia.

Podhorácko Miku!

Jumping on the cultural representation bandwagon (must say I had to look her up...) with a quick doodle of one of the least obvious Czech / Moravian folk costumes.

I mean, original idea was Valašsko / Moravian Wallachia (part of my own family heritage) but I feel like that's the second most obvious Czech folk costume artists reach for every time they want to be different and avoid the super-obvious Slovácko... Podhorácko is a rather loosely defined border region between South Moravia and Vysočina / the Highlands, where it seems the folk costume doesn't differ too much from Horácko proper and what sets the region apart is rather geography and dialect.

One thing to bear in mind is that folk costumes were never uniforms, and Podhorácko appears to be one of the regions that underline the individuality. I zoomed in on Tišnov (among other reasons like liking the town, the red and white striped skirts are striking and easy to draw) and stole some elements from an old photo of very low quality which I'm guessing is from the 1890s (based on the non-folk-costumed lady in the back), and even there every single person seems to be wearing something slightly different.

Upon reflection, not sure where I came across the beribboned sleeves because Tišnov it ain't. Ah well. If someone with better artistic skills wants to take her on, please do. Yay for cultural representation. 😀

Love my aunt but sometimes our eastern/central european heritage does seem to spontaneously possess her and make her do things like cook “stir fry” that is 70% green cabbage

personally I think curly's real name is actually Cuthbert and he Hates it so much and curly is his attempt to seem somewhat cooler and less of a bullying target (Jimmy knows his real name and on Pain Of Death he is never allowed to speak it ever)

Old Town Square, in Czech known as Staroměstské náměstí, is the central square of the historic part of Prague. The square is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the Czech capital, along with Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. It is almost impossible to miss it if you’re coming to Prague as a tourist.

I took photos of these photos of slag heaps from Ostrava museum because I'd never seen something like that before and they look bizarre to me. If you come from an area with a mining heritage, you've probably seen a slag heap before...

There's one in Ostrava which still stands and not only that, but is like, *warm*. The thing is warm on the inside

my VISION my dream story is to write a werewolf!chase x hunter!foreman au where foreman catches chase changing and. he never really BELIEVED in all that monster stuff his dad was always talking about growing up. always chalked it up to more religious talk and disregarded it. but here is chase, who he's known for years, becoming something WRONG right in front of him and it fucks him up real bad and blah blah eventually they have werewolf sex in the hospital you get the gist. i have the ENTIRE thing plotted out so perfectly in my mind but i just CANT write foreman's voice for the life of me. he's my specialest little guy and it kills me that i cant get inside his head the way i can for other characters. i understand why and how he reacts to things the way he does i GET him on a psychological level but if you asked me to write like three lines of realistic foreman dialogue i'd be incapable of it. ill write this fic someday but until then i have to study my fucked up little guy like a bug intently under a microscope until i can put him in Situations in a way that feels true to his character.

Ironed the Easter altar cloth today. Explanation of motifs here .

yes, jays either so disciplined that he never mention a significant other or he just doesnt have one. even in all those rich video game videos he never mentions one. while jack and even rich slip up and mention a gf or partner or wife. its intriguing in the sense that im curious, but would never go beyond this ask to find out lol

There is indeed no mention of it in videos. Supposedly he spoke of an ex in the RLM-forum back in the day but the posts of the forum on the official RLM-website were wholly lost except for like one screenshot of the forum.

(which is this one

)

While searching rn I found this random talk about the forum but unforch I didn't find the Reddit comment that claimed having read something of the sort on the forum....

Huh well supposedly as to 5 years ago it was still active with everybody from RLM leaving as a closed society ???
