️ ☀️‼️THE FIRST DAY OF MASLENITSA‼️☀️

Unfortunately, this year, this bright holiday started with a terrible day💔💔💔, but it should not mar this week

Maybe this year, together with winter, the troubled time will pass away, and the bitterness and sadness will leave us, giving way to the light, and one day, the three sisters will stand side by side 💝

Describe a beloved wacky communist-era low-budget fairytale movie, go!

I'll start

A princess is, somehow, born with a wind-up clockwork mechanism meaning that unless someone turns the key, she cannot move. Marries a very neurodivergent prince-inventor who tries to make a better key so she won't have to freeze up so often. Manages to lose the key just as she freezes up. While searching for it, he gets distracted and forgets about the problem. Princess breaks her curse with the power of rage and hunger. There is a subplot of greedy royal advisors trying to steal shit from the castle.

the fact that yankee movies and shows consistently use not-even-light-haired people to play blonds and, like, targaryens, just honestly genuinely gets on my nerves.

like i love orlando bloom as legolas as much as the next person but for fuck's sake you'd have such an easier time if you actually used blonds???? it's not like blonds are cryptids?!?!?!?!?!?!

Maybe I like the history of the Byzantine Empire so much because I too am in a constant state of disaster

Countries' jobs and skills

WARNING: Some of the names mantioned are the same as the names of historical figures. The plots are not about the real people, but about the nations. To make things easier and have names that make sense for the nations some names match with real people, but it's not about them. In my bio I also have this warning, but I will keep putting it just in case.

In my last post, I gave my opinion on the proto-bulgarian calendar (which was that at the very least it wasn't recognized by UNESCO).

With that in mind, I still think that it would be interesting to see Nikolai (Bulgaria)'s father (Old Great Bulgaria) explaining physics and astrophysics to him.

My plots regarding the countries' interests are (for the most part) not based on a common interest within a nation or something that it is known for or has a lot of achievements in.

/Especially considering the fact that proto-bulgarians had (as many nations back in the day) their religion explaining astronomy (again I am not a historian so don't quote me on this) for example when they go to a battle and the moon gets smaller they thought that it meant that they were going to lose even if they had an advantage/

In my plots when the dead nations come back they are given the modernized knowledge of the things they knew, were good at or used constantly.

That's why, for example Rumen (East Rumelia) and Kotrag (Volga Bulgaria) are doctors even in the modern world and have the knowledge of today's family doctors (both of them are family doctors).

As I said, in my plots Old Great Bulgaria is good at physics. He is also a retired army general /proto-bulgarians had amazing battle tactics, because of which they won so many battles against such strong enemies/. He also as the Great Khan of Old Gread Bulgaria has a lot general knowledge in many fields. Even though he isn't a master in many of them, the amount of knowledge he has is the reason for his sons to go to him first whenever they need help.

Bayan is a police officer,

Kuber is a softuare engineer and Alcek is a singer/actor.

Nikolai's mother (she is also the mother of the rest of the south slavs and had raised Nikolai's brothers that she isn't biologically connected to /if you have any names (human and for her as a nation/group) please tell me/) is also a retired soldier. In Old Great Bulgaria the women were protecting the cities while the men were away and I think that she would also be a general /and be able to kick Old Great Bulgaria's ass (even though she never had a reason to, but that's for another post)/

I thought saga of viera slavbaited me bc of the name but it's so much worse. The only vaguely-slavic looking clothing item is the holy maiden's headpiece, and yet the names are like "zoya" and "olga" and the towns are "lena" and "viera" so i wasn't baited they just dropped the ball. Smh.

Dubová socha Rujevíta byla nejspíše poměrně vysoká, takže biskup Absalon, který roku 1168 svatyni vyvrátil, nemohl prý zdviženou rukou se sekyrou dosáhnout úrovně jeho obličeje, i když stál na podstavci idolu. Podoba představovala postavu se sedmi tvářemi na jednom temeni, opásanou sedmi meči a s osmým pevně sevřeným v pravici. Saxo udává zajímavý postřeh týkající se vlaštovek, které si pod ústy sochy postavily hnízdo … ~ The oak statue of Ruyevit was probably relatively high, so Bishop Absalon, who destroyed the shrine in 1168, could not reach the level of his face with his raised hand with an ax, even if he stood on the idol's pedestal. The image represented a figure with seven faces on one crown, girded with seven swords and with the eighth firmly grasped in his right hand. Saxo makes an interesting observation regarding the swallows that built their nest under the statue's mouth…

Bohové dávných Slovanů ~ Gods of ancient Slavs (Martin Pitro, Petr Vokáč)

Wouldn't it be poetic, if one of those sacred swallows swooped down as the Christian trash was stretching up, he'd lose his balance, fall and break his neck?

I might not be religious myself, but there's something about entitled pricks preaching their own truth with sword in hand, destroying whole cultures... it makes me immensely angry even though it's been centuries, and most of our heritage is long since gone.
