New instance, so posting a new intro! blobheartcat

I've made it to my 40-something years old era and consider it a privilege.

I'm into slow fashion, human rights, crafting, cats, music, and cult horror and sci-fi movies. My latest obsession is with snails.

A few more of my interests:

The cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album was shot at Mapledurham Watermill, Oxfordshire. To get the right light, the shoot was conducted at 4.00 am. Contrary to popular belief, the hooded figure is not Ozzy Osbourne, but an 18-year-old female model. The model was chosen for her short stature, to make her look overwhelmed by the eerie landscape. To enhance the photo's uncanny feel, a smoke machine was used and the shot was taken with film used for aerial photographs, which gave the photo its pinkish light. The film was also boiled then frozen to make the image grainier. Props included a stuffed crow - named Yorick - who appears on the back cover and, apparently, a live black cat. The photographer swears the model is holding the cat though the model says she has no recollection of this. #music #metal #gothic #weird #history #folklore #art #photography #psychogeography

Since sharing screenshots of my translated German folk tales is not great for #accessibility reasons, I have decided to slowly put by backlog on a wiki and simply link them from here.

I've installed the wiki and come up with a basic structure for how to organize and present the tales. And I would like to hear your thoughts on the structure so far - it is easier to fix things when the wiki only has 5 tales instead of 500.

Digging into the "Gift of the Little People" folktale type (ATU 503), where someone joins the singing of fairies and gets rewarded for it. The human usually adds a few days to the song of "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday!", delighting the fairies.

Hungarian versions, once again, have to be extra about it.

Instead of singing fairies, we have singing skeletons. And they get angry when someone adds "Monday" to their song.

Highly relatable.
