[just-a-little-anxious]

I'm boutta start hyperfixating on my country's history and culture.

Like, Dutch architecture, Dutch folklore, Dutch history.

I mean the history is awful for the most part, that I already know. But I am interested in the history regarding our fight with the sea, or the way we shipped around tulips. Maybe even the history on a geographical level, like the ground and swamps and stuff.

I'm particularly interested in the folklore. I always thought I didn't know anything of it, but it turns out I know more than I thought about it, because of some comics I read as a kid. Witte Wieven (basically ghosts), weerwolven (werewolves), de bokkerijders (goats with wings and devil worshippers or something), the lange man (apparently we have a version of slender man too? But he would knock on windows and look inside)

anyways I fuckign love it
