My family have been tarot readers for generations, and a fair few of us have been great amongst our countries peers. I should have been gifted my first deck by another tarot reader in the family. But that wasn’t possible.

My mother never really got tarot, never really cared that much for the legacy of the Romany women before us, but when she found out I was she tried her best and bought me a deck and some guides.

I may not have had it the same as everyone that came before me, but I shall still try to do my family proud

Finding out that Elvis Presley was Romani is like. Ohhhh so *thats * why so many of my mums generation were named after his daughter. Not just because he was famous

Just lived through the best class I ever had in my life. Romani language teacher invited a famous Sinti Public figure (can't disclose who BUT I WAS SO THRILLED) to teach some sinti language and he talked about some stuff that felt so cathartic to me. When it comes to background and culture I thought my family was an anomaly because none of us speaks Sinti and we are actually very mixed with a lot of different ethnic groups that we don't even know which ones, but he verbatim said that was a pretty standard experience like !!!! He said he himself had to relearn the language and that his grandpa (a very, very big jazz musicizn, cant disclose the name) did not speak the language either. He said that in my country, 70 years ago the new Sinti Generation came to think of the Sinti language as backwards and ugly so they rejected it. And then he played music with a Romanian Romani musician who was also there. Afterwards I got some coffee with that Romanian Rom and we complained about how being settled sucks and how many Romani people (he was talking about Romania, I was talking about my country) don't speak the language, and then we shared family pictures lmaooo

Kushti Devvas! This shall be my well loved blog dedicated to my culture. Because fuck everyone who says I can’t or says I shouldn’t be proud or should hide who my people are.

Opre Romani!

The reason why I don’t watch or read the hunchback of notre dame is because it perpetrates the (obviously awful and incredibly harmful) stereotype that Romani people steal children and raise them as their own

The absolute funniest fucking part of Roma soy yo is when Lucullus tells Caesar to calm down and try some of the cherries Lucullus brought from Turkey, and Caesar thinks Lucullus is trying to kill him

footballers when theyre scared

requested by anon!!! dude i feel like i owe you a PERSONAL apology for how absurdly late this is,,, i had finals, what can you do. thank you for requesting <3

leo: his eyes widen by half (.5) a millimeter.

ney: jumps ten feet in the air, lets out a high-pitched scream, n adamantly denies it when its brought up later.

luis: immediately punches whoevers next to him. like without even thinking. its his genuine fear response.

luka: at first he covers his face n lets out a quiet lil squeal, then when the adrenaline wears off he starts swearing in croatian.

alisson: poor lad. hes already pretty anxious, so if one of his teammates scare him as a prank he'll be shaken up for a couple hours afterwards.

paulo: hes dragged to some kinda haunted house attraction or something, n every time someone jumpscares him he jus,,, screams back at them. yknow, like a psychopath.

sergio: essentially (and loudly) rattles off every swear that exists, in english and spanish! if its a person that scared him, he will grab em n threaten em in that,,, special way only he knows.

muller: this man. lets out the most ear bleeding, glass shattering, LOUDEST fuckin scream ever recorded in human history, all bc he saw a bug or some shit.

erling: fight or flight kicks in n his ass chooses FLIGHT. books it outta there fast enough to break the sound barrier. may or may not end up knocking a few ppl over in his hurry.

mourinho: oh you gotta be careful with him. hes so genuinely high-strung that a good scare runs the risk of sending him into cardiac arrest (it is for this reason that all horror movies are off the table when the roma players do movie night).
