for the history ask meme: 1 and 4 :D

1. Favorite time period

20TH CENTURY. I mean I love a lot of time periods but contemporary history is my favorite forever, the end.

4. An HF I really dislike

Okay, not going towards the usual assholes (because I mean, Mussolini/Hitler/the likes/their lieutenants are fairly easy, of course I really dislike them), let’s pick a random one that I guess isn’t too well-known aka this asshole here aka Pope Pious XI who might have done some fairly decent things before the Risorgimento and was probably not as bigoted as he could have been before then, after the Risorgimento started turned into a raging asshole about it and it’s basically his fault if they had to wait until his death before having Rome join the Italian state. *rolls eyes to infinity*

Or we can also say Thatcher and Reagan as a couple, because that’d also work perfectly.

cześć lamusie! mam bardzo poważne pytanie. dzięki twojemu blogowi zaczęłam interesować się kulturą słowiańską i rodzimowierstwem, jednak nie jestem pewna, gdzie szukać na ten temat źródeł. masz może jakieś propozycje? z góry dziękuję i pozdrawiam :)

Polecam zajrzeć np. na bardzo treściwą stronę Bogowie Polscy, oprócz zamieszczonych już materiałów można tam odnaleźć wiele odniesień do wartościowych źródeł bibliograficznych [każdy artykuł posiada listę przypisów!]. Część publikacji ujęłam też na liście źródeł pod sekcją “Słowianie”, zalinkowanych jest tam wiele książek dostępnych w bibliotekach online [do przeglądania większości należy ściągnąć wtyczkę djvu]. W tym momencie bardzo dobrą lekturą na wstępne zapoznanie się z tematem mogłaby być “Religia Słowian” Andrzeja Szyjewskiego. Warto też zajrzeć do publikacji tyczących się etnografii, szczególnie zwyczajów i wierzeń ludowych. I - czytać, czytać, czytać :)

Once you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly and then send it to 10 of your favorite followers (not back to me, I did it already). Thinking good thoughts about yourself is hard but it will make you feel better so give it a go, for the sake of spreading positivity.

Okay, this will really put all that counselling to the test!

I'm determined; when I set my mind on something I generally achieve it. It takes a lot to do more than slow me down.

I'm good at cheering people up; mostly this only works face to face but I do sometimes manage it over the phone or through messages (so hit me up if any of you ever need someone to talk to. Seriously, judgement free zone, I promise)

I pick things up quickly; unless it's maths. Then I never pick it up.

I'm a survivor; It's hard to get myself to accept this, but I've been through some shit (even now that little voice in my head is complaining, saying others have it worse) and I have come out the other side. I've had my life threatened for two straight hours and I still didn't break. I'm fucking hardcore whether internal monologue me agrees or not.

I have nice hair; because I love my hair and it will always get a mention.

Rules: - Always post the rules - Answer the questions from the person who tagged you - Write 11 new ones - Tag 11 people and link them to the post (though I only did four so hey, do what you like) - Actually tell them you tagged them I was tagged by mollypondcreature

mollypondcreature's Questions:

1. What’s under your bed?

Dust and dirty clothes that I've likely forgotten exist.

2. Who do you trust to break you out of jail should the need arise?

My sister.

3. What names would you give your children (or pets or characters you make up or whatever)

Alec, Lily, Luke, Cassandra (though I don't plan on having that many)

4. When was the last time you cried, and why?

It's a little stupid, but when my laptop broke a couple of weeks ago. My laptop is my connection to my OU course, my connection to fandom, my TV, my ability to write. It's my escape and my future and I can't afford to replace it. Luckily it was cheap to fix.

5. Is there a song that reminds you of a specific person or event?

Tomorrow by The Cranberries reminds me of my Mum when she's trying to get me to stop being so pessimistic.

6. When did you join Tumblr, and why?

About a year ago after stumbling onto a fanfiction site and seeing people mention it. I joined because there are so many people with similar interests to me and I don't know many of those in real life.

7. If you were Cupid, which two people would you pair up?

Fictional or real? Fictional then Dean and Castiel, my ultimate OTP. Real... I don't have a whole lot of single friends, so have to be celebrities. Probably Bradley James and Colin Morgan because they are the one real person ship I can't stop myself shipping.

8. What’s the weirdest dream you remember?

I was Cinderella but for some reason I was more concerned with this particular cake I wanted to eat than with the Prince. I kept finding ways to get rid of him so that I could go after the cake.

9. Who (must be deceased) would you like to be haunted by?

Oscar Wilde. He'd whisper witty things in my ears for me to repeat when I wanted to impress people. He'd also be less likely to judge me for my crap than most other ghosts I could pick.

10. Do you have a religion?

Not really, though I do believe in God in an abstract kind of way. I find religions too stifling and contradictory for me personally. To me the meaning behind all religion seems to be 'hey don't be a dick' so I follow my morals rather than those in a book. Some of the most influential and nicest people I've known were Christian or Wiccan and I wouldn't change a thing about any of those people.

11. What is the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever done?

GISHWHES. Everything I did during GISHWHES. Without the influence of the Overlord probably... Wearing a paper mustache around town, or walking around everywhere playing air guitar on an inflatable guitar, or writing cheese and potato smut, or getting fake married in a field complete with rings, ceremony and reception, or... I don't know really, I've done a lot of strange things. I blame the home-education.

My Questions:

1. Do you believe in any kind of magic? (Religious miracles, fortune telling/prophesying, telekinesis etc.)

2. If you could learn the language of one animal, what would you pick?

3. What human language would you like to learn?

4. What fictional world would you want to live in?

5. Pessimist, optimist or realist?

6. If you could add an 11th commandment and the whole world had to obey, what would it be?

7. Weirdest game you made up when you were little?

8. What conspiracy theory do you most believe to be true? (eg. Illuminati, Roswell, 9/11)

9. Which element would you most like to control?

10. You have one chance to fulfil your biggest dream (whether that's to be famous or go to Hogwarts or anything else) but it means leaving everyone and everything behind, possibly forever. Would you take it?

11. If you and your best friend had to save the world, what would you be best equipped to save it from?
