Was reading Interview with the Vampire and Louis was answering a question about a woman he had sorta loved named Babette. She wasn’t the greatest love he’d ever felt, but he says his greatest love was foreshadowed in Babette. I’ve seen the movie, so I only know what happens as far as the film is concerned, but I wondered if he meant Claudia the child vampire?
And then my brain went: wait, is Babette the child vampire in Skyrim an Interview with the Vampire reference? Both she and Claudia take guiltlessly to killing afaik. Is the Babette of Skyrim a combination of strong and sensible Babette Freniere and the cunning but childlike Claudia?
Will make a more rounded assessment when I finish the book. But ooh.
If you Google it, you do get a few results of other people wondering the same thing, but I like it when I think of questions independently of others’ influence.
Embroidery of a traditional Sorbian Easter egg, made by me as an Easter gift for family members.
Feat: Blown-out sorbian eggs my aunt brought us years ago.
Although English isn’t my first language, I’ll try to explain the symbolism:
In Lusatia/ the Spreewald - more specifically, in Sorbian Culture - before every Easter we are meant to decorate the Easter eggs with the special technique, called Bossiertechnik, which requires wax, feathers, needle pens and natural dye. The decorated eggs are a gift from Godmothers and godfathers to their Godchild, as well as the Patensemmel, which is some kind of a bread roll.
Even though me and my sister don’t have godparents, every year, our aunt brought us her beautifully hand painted eggs. So this year, I also have a special gift for her and my uncle!
Historically, the tradition of Sorbian Eastereggs comes both from Christianity and Paganism, as well as medieval Folklore. Each symbol and color has it’s own meaning. After they’ve been gifted to the godchildren, they were rolled over a field for fertility and a good harvest. Another fertility spell was to ride a horse around the field. Both traditions were varied over the centuries - today, the Osterreiter are riding from one village to the other, to proclaim the resurrection of the Lord, and kids are playing Eierrollen as game (you and your friends are rolling your eggs down a hill - to win the game, your egg has to be the farthest or beat other eggs).
As I said, these colorful eggs don’t come without a special meaning. Of course, everything can be interpreted different from town to town, but overall, they just bring you good fortune.
So here’s how to interpret mine:
The suns you can see (in the middle, on the sides and on the top and the bottom) will bring you health and growth - they also symbolize, well, a sun. Putting three triangles into an ornament, is one of the strongest protections spells - the circles made of single triangles are there for protection too. In this egg, they not only protect the ones I’ll give this embroidery to, but also my wish for health and growth. The “V"s - called Crow’s foot - are used to boost the other symbols. The four single white flowers are meant to ensure a good future and more growth.
I used different tones of green for health and luck. White is like a basic color you’ll find in nearly every egg - some might say it stands for the holy spirit or Purity. Yellow is the color of the sun (I just used it for the aesthetic you know XD). Blue is meant to symbolise things like healing, peace or harmony.
So, long story short, the embroidery I did for my family members can be interpreted as a lucky charm for health, growth and peace.
I bought a new pack of dyes this year instead of using the old ones we’ve had since 2008 so I went wild and did 7 this year which is so much and still I feel like I want to make more lol. I did maybe 4 super traditional ones and then freestyled on the others and also made a precursor orb because that has been a dream of mine for a while (I had to mix 4 dyes to get that colour lol)
I was woken this morning by being fucked with a carrot, then made to eat it, my fuck buddy sneering, “Happy Easter, cunt.”
I’ve since been put in bunny ears and had my ass plugged with a cotton tail. I’m only allowed to hop rather than walk for the entirety of the day. But, he also got me an Easter basket! Some of the things in my basket:
-A new plug (and the bunny one!) -A chocolate cock (better than a bunny, and I can only eat it by sucking it, he said) -Lots of undies and a new bra that shows more than it hides -A sponge and dish soap, because I know my place -And lots of plastic eggs filled with different things
The eggs were my favorite because they were so creative and degrading. One was just filled with cigarette butts. Another was filled with piss, which splashed all over me when I opened it. Another had two binder clips, which he told me to clip to my tits. He actually put a dead roach in one, then cracked up when I opened it and screamed, throwing it away from me. Yet another had a used condom, filled with drying cum, which he told me he used in another girl’s ass.
Easter away from home might not be so bad after all…
On Easter Monday - as though they were in Scotland and not on the magical Easter Island - the Easter bunny invited Algy to indulge in a wee spot of pace egging, but as they didn’t have a sloping hillside handy, they had to roll their eggs on the flat grass…
When indulging in the activity of pace egging it is traditional to sing an old folk song, and indeed to beg for some money, eggs, or beer, but as neither Algy nor the Easter bunny have very good singing voices, and they don’t much care for beer, they decided to leave the singing to those better qualified…
Here’s one two three jolly lads all in one mind, We have come a pace egging and we hope you’ll prove kind; And we hope you’ll prove kind, with your eggs and strong beer, And we’ll come no more nigh you until the next year.
Happy Spring and Happy Easter to you all
[Note: the word pace in this context has nothing to do with speed, but is an old English version of the Latin word for Easter - Pascha]
While Algy was chatting with the little green dragon among the Easter cherry blossom, he told his odd wee friend many stories of his adventures on the mysterious Easter Island, where he had found himself this time last year, and it occurred to him that perhaps some of his new friends might like to see what he had got up to last Easter Monday in that magical faraway place.
