taevachiLook I don't have functioning brain. I don't know what happens. I just try to make it through the week and then I forget EVERYTHING. There was like Midsummer and stuff, it was nice. And we had local Pride which rocked. Oh, I also went to an anime convention (and cosplayed a mythology figure because of course I did). Next week should be warm to, it's time to summer. I already had my ~week long summer holiday last month though.
But like the only thing in my mind, the only thing I feel like I can care about, is pre-Christian mythic poetry. So there. Mom said I should get tested for autism.
I've been trying to fix a whole bunch of Wikipedia articles that have been legit ass, in addition to creating new ones. Right now we're at:
Fixed: Hiisi + Kalevi (mythology) + Joukahainen + Kuutar + Louhi + Nyyrikki + Rauni + Sampsa Pellervoinen + Tellervo
Partially fixed: Ahti + Haltija + Iku-Turso (creature) + Ilmarinen + Kratti* + Lempo + Mielikki + Pekko + Päivätär + Sampo + Tapio (spirit) + Ukko + Vellamo + Väinämöinen + Äkräs
*= Needs fixes but the kinds I'm not able to make.
Brand new: Baltic Finnic creation myths + Hongatar + Hiiden hirvi + Jábmiidáhkká + Jumi + Juoksáhkká + Kave (Finnish mythology) + Kihovauhkonen + Kivutar + Käreitär + List of minor Finnish deities + Maaemä + Máttaráhkká + Rahko + Sáráhkká + Soini + Tuulikki (spirit) + Uksáhkká + Virankannos
I feel a sense of loneliness frequently, but I've also been socializing a lot, so it's probably not worrying. I'm starting my singing classes again next month after a year's (involuntary) break, and I also picked up weaving. My friend also kind of got me excited about making zines by just... drawing on normal paper. Maybe I'll share some at some point. I don't really care about how "skilled" it is when it's about figures and concepts that don't have any supposed appearance anyways.
I have dreams of starting my own little coven of... mythic poem enthusiasts. xD Unfortunately, I don't live in a very populous place.
I watched two new films. First was Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (2023, Savvusanna sõsarad). I saw it accidentally when I was staying the night at my friend's, supposed to sleep on the couch which had TV in front of it. And this film was on TV. Absolutely heartbreaking experiences were recounted in this film, but that's the point of it. Just listen.
I also saw SATAN’S GUIDE TO THE BIBLE (2023) which I thought was just a Youtube video but apparently, it's also a film. In it, Satan is teaching some fundie family children about historical inaccuracies in the Bible. They made Satan hot in this, which is "based", of course. Anyways, I like history but never before really cared about the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. Well, now that I know more about it, and having seen stuff-that's-in-the-Bible-but-never-actually-happened used as justification for what's happening in Gaza, AND also being kind of pissed of at the removing of Athirat from the pantheon, AND AND having to had to hear dumb shit from conservative Christians because of Pride, I finally got off my ass and ended my membership to the state church which I had been a member of since birth. The first time I tried, the website didn't work. They really tried to make this as difficult as possible. I haven't talked about this to anyone because I know some find it offensive if I say what I think but, I hope at least on my own blog I can say it.

Idealized depiction of Roman young women offering a sacrifice--because lesbianism.
