Ah, Christmas Eve. The perfect time to watch a movie that absolutely has nothing to do with Christmas: The Prince of Egypt.

Moonrot community, I am doing a moonrot (cleoxpearl) comic i started before ep 6, and before cleo's absolutely stunning new skin.

Should I tweak it so its cleos new skin or keep it the old one? It feels more personality vibe ep 5.. but idk

The wip below for ref (warning, kinda suggestive, sue me)

getting you started on the salem witch trials. hey. sounds like an interesting subject, but all I know about them is like. Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc)'s story. Also we have some interests in common and I think you're super cool. Wanna be moots ? sorry if this is awkward and also thanks for answering my question on the other blog. I'm going to reread your intro bcs i don't recall a dni that I'd fit it but i' nervous so yeah. bye and have a nice timezone

EEEEEEHEHEHE

but of course i'd love to be moots!! nothing awkward about that!!!

if an animal looked at you too long while you were whistling/humming, they thought you were talking to it and when you yawned, you had to make the sign of the cross of your mouth because yawning was seen as a way of "letting demons in".

and the babies weren't spared-

-if they yawned, their parents had to do it for them.

if animals were attracted to you, especially cats, it was seen as communicating with the devil because cats were "the devils best friend", and if you were friends with cats, that meant you were friends with the devil and they were relaying messages.

I mean, obviously, right?

also, women were the main ones who made beer, so if yours was a little too good, they thought that you were "using magic to make it better".

same for cheese.

because they didn't know how contamination and preservation worked, if your cheese lasted longer than other peoples, it tasted better, or was cleaner, it was, in their mind, like taking the goodness from THEIR cheese and putting it into your.

oh.

one of the accused men was an educated man from harvard!

... if you're an educated man from harvard and you're like "surely, the chief justice will have something reasonable to say. chief, what have you say?"

the chief justice said he saw the FUCKING DEVIL GIVE HIM A CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY.

and they BELIEVED HIM.

he was burned while reciting the lords prayer which -mind you- witches were not supposed to be able to do.

oh, also, the drowning method.

they'd tie you up and throw you in a river. if you floated, you were a witch, and if you sank and drowned, you weren't. so you were fucked either way.

a lot of the women accused were actually just educated women who knew how to care for themselves and property.

(ever wonder why witchs are seen with cats and a broom?)

many of the accused kept cats to keep mice away from the grain in their breweries so their beer could be properly made, and they swept often to keep their homes clean and lower their chances of getting sick.
