Am I the only one here who is so damn angry about the fact that a large portion of the Slavic representation on the Western media is either Russian, Russian-coded (e.g. the Grisha Universe by Leigh Bardugo) or copies the narratives about other Slavic nations that exist in the Russian discourse about them?

NIEDŹWIEDŹ ✷ THE BEAR ✷ (Ursus arctos) ✷ "Jak mawiano niedźwiedzie mają duszę, a duch drapieżnika mści się na swoim zabójcy, np. prowadzi go na bezdroża lub w przepaście." "Niedźwiedź był również zwierzęciem demonicznym, symbolem płodności, urodzaju, sił wegetacyjnych, a z racji swojego trybu życia (sen zimowy) - odwiecznego zmagania się zimy-śmierci z życiodajną wiosną." ✷ "As they say, bears have souls, and their spirit takes a revenge on it's killer, for example, leading it astray or into the precipice." "The bear was also a demonic animal, a symbol of fertility, harvest, vegetative forces, and due to its lifestyle (hibernation) - the eternal struggle of winter-death with life-giving spring." - From "Góralskie czary. Leksykon Magii Podtatrza i Beskidów Zachodnich" by Katarzyna Ceklarz i Urszula Janicka-Krzywda. published by Tatrzański Park Narodowy -

OKAY, I NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR
I understand that you want the team you support to win, expecially if the team is not from Europe. But talking shit about croatia and saying croatia is same as western europe's teams is insane. Like girl, do you know history? Croatia wasn't colonizator and we have suffered so much through history, we literally had war 30 years ago, same as ukraine now. I had enough of arguing with toxic fans last 2 days, saying racist things about slavic people. check your facts before you speak.

Winter slav girl! The folk costume (Czech region of Slovácko)is from my father’s village, and even though I’ve never lived there, I always felt quite a strong connection to that place

hello gay and eastern european people in my computer!! i'm asking for song recommendations for a playlist i'm working on
Tumblr media
i need to diversify the languages on here, as it's pretty much exclusively russian and hungarian rn. if you've got any suggestions from those language, I'll still take em, but i'm mostly looking for other slavic languages + romanian. i will also take english songs from eastern european artists that fit the mood.
the edgier and more emo the song is the better. if it sounds like a teenager wrote the lyrics, even better! distorted vocals and mean sounding guitars are very appreciated, though i will also take melancholic acoustic songs
please reblog with links or send me an ask with your recs!

🎼Belarusian and Polish folk costumes, requests. Nadzieja from Vileyka (Belarus) is playing the flute at the wedding of her friend Elżbieta, the bride from Krakow (Poland). 💐
🎼Музыкантка Надзея из Вилейки играет на свадьбе своей подруги - краковской невесты Эльжбеты. Вместе они представляют праздничный Вилейский строй (северо-запад Минской и северо-восток Гродненской областей, Беларусь) и свадебный западный Краковский строй (Польша)! Это третья часть костюмных реквестов! 💐
Вілейскі строй, бытаваў у канцы ХІХ – пачатку ХХ стагоддзя на паўночным усходзе Гродзенскай і паўночным захадзе Мінскай абласцей.
STRÓJ KRAKOWIAKÓW ZACHODNICH. Ludność zamieszkującą tereny rolniczo-przemysłowe położone wokół Krakowa (obecnie wsie te stanowią często jego dzielnice) określa się mianem Krakowiaków Zachodnich.
В белорусском костюме меня всегда восхищает изящество фасона и гармония цвета. Традиционной плечевой одеждой была жилетка «гарсэт»; чудесная тёмно-синяя юбка-андарак, расшитая по подолу бархатом, украшалась особыми петельками - «пуплами». Узор сорочки - «кашулі» - и фартука - «фартуха» - красно-чёрные цветы. Любимый мой белорусский головной убор - капор «каптур» с длинными полосами ткани, поверх которого надевался платок. Что касается музыкального инструмента, то Надзея играет на дудке.

Что касается краковских невест, то на свадьбу девушки надевали венки из ярких искусственных цветов, а сзади крепили банты из пёстрых лент. На Эльжбете рубашка, корсет и длинная юбка с цветочным мотивом, прикрытая чуть более коротким фартуком, закрывающим перед и бока. На плечи невеста накинула тёплую цветастую шаль с узором в виде бутонов роз. Ноги обуты в черные туфли на шнуровке на достаточно высоком каблуке. Дорогое дополнение наряда - коралловые бусы с крестом.

ok so i have determined the closest alphabet to borginian is probably a mix of glatolitic and cyrillic. meaning, the potential history of borginia would be an insanely interesting topic, if it is actually slavic and has an alphabet like that. because that would mean it’s an eastern orthodox (or potentially eastern catholic?) nation of slavs, somewhere in northern europe (stated in-game), would probably be almost the furthest west of all slavs if it weren’t for the czech republic and yet would have elements of ancient, ancient slavic culture. that would be a really fucking interesting history i think.
anyways i wanted to figure this out because i want to make a borginian conlang. it being slavic makes it wayyyy easier for me lol because slavic history and cultures (it was mainly russia, but all of them were interesting to me. i had a big czech kick for a while too) was (sometimes still is) one of my special interests. i know a lot of russian, as well as a little tiny bit of czech and ukrainian, so hopefully that makes old church slavonic/protoslavic easier for me to make sense of and make a conlang for.
For context, this is what Borginian looks like:
Tumblr media
Glatolitic (rounded and sharp):
Tumblr media
And an early form of cyrillic (this is an alphabet instead of a sentence example):
Tumblr media
If I ever get around to making this it will be a SUPER interesting conlang. It’ll ooze with hidden history all on its own, and in universe would be a living remnant of the past, which is fucking cool as fuck. you guys dont know how much i love this development this is the greatest thing to ever happen to me the autism mode is going so strong
Also just realized the name machi tobaye could very easily work in at least an eastern slavic language. so could the name borginia. lamiroir doesnt so much, and it canonically is a borginian word, but i dont really think that completely matters. to be honest “siren” isnt actually something that should have that different of a translation (as far as i understand siren is more often than not a word that is imported by most other languages), but also it could just be that the translation is an approximation rather than being exact. i think thatd especially make sense if borginia was isolated enough to apparently keep a writing system that old with little latin alphabet input (borginia would be surrounded by latin alphabet languages, even its closest slavic neighbors—poland, the sorbs, czechia, slovakia—would use the latin alphabet)
i have no idea how these hypothetical probably christian preaching slavs would migrate from southeastern to northern europe whilst picking up literally nothing linguistically on the way but like who knows lol
