I bought a Good Omens book and when I came back home and logged into Tumblr, everyone was discussing how Good Omens was actually "Slav coded", whatever that meant.

Levels of understanding other slavic languages

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

Slovenian (right) and Serbian (left) Miku from Bela Krajina region (White Carniola) 🇸🇮 or dare I say, Belokranjska Miku

(My Part in the Miku trend on Twitter)

EDIT: Since I've seen some confusion about this; Bela Krajina is a region in Slovenia with a distinct culture and clothing style. The majority of the population are ethnically Slovene (here represented by the Miku on the right, "Slovenian Miku"), however there is a minority ethnic Serb population (also sometimes referred to as Orthodox Uskoki) who have lived in Bela Krajina since the 16th century and who have their own distinct folk clothing style (here represented by the Miku on the left, "Serbian Miku"). I wanted to include both of them because I find the cultural diversity of Bela Krajina really fascinating (and based on my experience, people in Bela Krajina are really proud of their diversity too!) and because the Serb minority in Bela Krajina is really small nowadays and often forgotten.

A Patreon request for Gaster with cat ears and a tail, haha. I considered bone ears but ears don't have bones, that'd make no sense ("skulls don't have cat ears either" shh)

Czech customs taken out of context:

•Calling family and friends to kill a pig and eat it in an almost ritualistic nature

•Setting a flame and drowning an effigy of a winter goddess in an actual ritualistic nature

•Driving around a drunk ram in a decorated cart

•Guarding a shaved tree decorated with colorfull ribbons

•Chasing girls with a willow branch whip

•Carnival, but instead of dressing up as your favourite anime character, you wear funky tall hats with colorfull pom pomps glued on it, a hay costume and a bear mask, sometimes you see two dudes dressed up as a bride and a groom

•Dressing a young boy in a girl costume and pretending hes a king running away from Hungary in disguise

•Dressing up as Chort (Čert) to scare children

•Dressing up as white creatures with long beaks called "Lucky" to scare children but also adult men

•Divining future by throwing a shoe against the door, looking inside a frozen river, cutting open an apple or making a nut shell boats just to see if anyone dies or gets married next year

•Burning witches...that's it

•When drinking a toast, never cross hands with anyone, and make eye contact

•Tapping a glass of beer on a table before you drink it

• And if youre driving a car and see a village sign decorated in colorfull roses and ribbons, you're not getting out of the village any time soon

Hey just wanted to quickly say something about the drawing Miku in different cultures trend-

I absolutely love that it's happening, and it truly makes me incredibly happy to see how many cultures are represented and how happy people are to represent their own countries, I am completely on board and think it's a great trend to have.

But as a slav, something I wanted to note: if you say "Slavic Miku" and then use a lot of recognisable Russian imagery, you are lumping all the Slavic countries in with just Russia, which is something we've been trying to fight against, because we are diverse and all have our own cultures, so don't equate it all to Russia, it's offensive even
