the og Eastern European vampires lore for yall

The modern image of a vampire originates from Slavic beliefs, with the original Ukrainian term being "Упир" (upyr). These beliefs revolve around two types of deceased individuals: those at peace in the afterlife and those lingering between realms.

Upyrs were thought to be people who practiced sorcery, were excommunicated from the church, cursed, or unbaptized children, as well as victims of violent deaths. In folk beliefs, upyrs emerged from graves at night, primarily to drink the blood of the living, spread disease, and kill livestock, retreating back to their graves by morning's light. It was believed they possessed two souls, with the "pure" soul departing the body upon death, leaving the "unclean" soul behind.

protec yourself

Various Slavic folk methods were employed to deal with upyrs. Following the superstitions, potential upyrs were buried deeply with stones atop their graves, facedown so they would "bite the ground." Poppy seeds were often scattered in the coffin, while a sickle or scythe was positioned to sever the head should the ghoul rise. A pebble or coin was placed under the tongue, hands tied behind the back, and the most common prevention was driving an aspen stake through the head or heart. Additionally, upyrs were believed to fear crosses and garlic.

DPXDC Prompt #50

Danny had everything going right in his life for once, his parents knew he was Phantom and had accepted him and he was the high king of the infinite realms. The ghosts left the town alone for the most part, he would still train to keep up with his powers and training, and he was working towards peace between the realms. Makes sense that when everything is at its best that it would go wrong.

Suddenly his twin he hasn’t seen in years shows up on his porch claiming that the league of assassins is going to assassinate high king phantom.

every so often i get the intense urge to write some kind of story about either angels or dragons but then remember i don't have any fucking clue what i'd actually write about, just a loose collection of characters and worldbuilding and speculative biology/character design ideas. they need to add the shinji chair emoji in the next update i need it rn.

Stolas and Blitz are both autistic and just have different special interests. You can't change my mind.

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

the parallels between alina asking mal, “you with me?” and him replying, “always” and katniss’ “stay with me” to peeta’s “always” in the hunger games. katniss and alina, two girls that have lost (in some way) both parents, had to fend for themselves, plucked from the masses and forced into something so much bigger than themselves at such a young age. still children and having altars erected to them, being the capitol’s idol, meanwhile fighting off a terrifying fascist and being expected to save the nation with nobody to save them. both of them not knowing the meaning and the finality that “always”, spoken so quietly and passingly, would one day come to have.

peeta and mal, two boys that would do anything for their girls, kids themselves but ultimately used by a dictator to manipulate the ones they love, to force katniss and alina into doing their bidding by way of threatening/ causing harm on these ones they hold dear. two boys who unlearn corrupt things taught to them. peeta, who refuses to let himself be a weapon. mal, who takes power in allowing himself to be a weapon wielded in alina’s hand. katniss and peeta. alina and mal. you with me? “always”

hello tumblr.com you'll have to excuse me because instead of being autistic about something relevant like a tv show or perhaps nature, i have become entranced by the experience of the american diner. i very much would like to go through the whole thing again. it is so structured and expected and there's a menu and sugar packets and bench seats and comfortable food and PIE! and you get to have pleasant light conversation and nothing more and the lighting is never bright and it's all very very cool
