Pori is ready for the 12th Perigee Yule Ball! I had so much fun making this for the ball with the help of @clown-fuckers-r-us ! Her lovely lady Velvet will be escorting my lady Pori to the Ball this year and it will certainly be a night full of memories!
In case you're Assamese or Irish, you will NOT romanticize about fairies, or the faefolk in general. Why?
Pori | পৰী
They are supernatural beings that exist in two distinct genders - male and female. These creatures are believed to reside in bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, and rivers. According to legend, female pori have the ability to possess males while male pori possess females.
The effects of possession by a pori are said to be severe, with the afflicted person often exhibiting erratic, maniacal behavior. It is thought that pori possess humans in order to experience the physical world and satisfy their own desires.
In order to rid oneself of a pori possession, there are specific chants and rituals that can be performed. These chants are believed to have the power to banish the pori from the body, freeing the person from their influence.
The concept of pori and their possession of humans is deeply rooted in folklore and mythology in certain cultures. While these beliefs may not be scientifically verifiable, they continue to hold a significant place in the cultural imagination of those who believe in them.
And in case of Irish mythology, yall know about Changelings and Sidhe already now don't you?
I love the historical aesthetic of my neighborhood (though realistically the streets are full of cars and half the houses are ugly 1960s or boring modern ones). That's not even including the Russian street name signs here and there. Yes, half the streets are unpaved. I will definitely miss it when I move.
But also I will be happy to live somewhere the streets don't try to kill me in winter. Somewhere I will actually want to take a walk in winter. The streets are so ridiculously slippery here, never experienced anything like that anywhere else in Finland (even downtown Pori a mile away is much, much better)
@myfateislosingitspatience Where I live. You can see how my neighborhood is feeding my Russian history obsession lol
