I’m like legit freaking out because i literally loved reading about this so hecking much???  Like indigenous Pakistani folklores and mythologies?? yes please! ;;;v;;; Though i must say, i really liked the fire orb and Tirich mir ones. I’ll be linking this person’s twitter too, he really puts a lot of effort into making threads regarding different parts and aspects of Pakistani people and our regional History, with actual citations. Seeing work like this being done gives me such a happy feeling, and i hope to share some of that with you guys too :”D

It makes sense for chitrali mythology to be rich, considering the neighboring Kalasha of the Kalash Valley follow a ancient animistic religion and some of these mythologies may be considered as some of the deities they believe in. Like the author mentioned in his article, its also very interesting to see how much influence chitrali mythology has from various other cultures. Perks of being situated along the Ancient Silk road route maybe? cool stuff.

This drawing is based on the supernatural fire giant of Chitral,the Deo (fireball) combined with the imposing mountain of the region, Tirich Mir! 

Here are some additional links the author gave me (p.s do check out his twitter):

Can I say that your eyes remind me of the moon, because they shine so softly yet brilliantly ? And your hair looks so soft and pretty? You're a very gorgeous person, honestly. You, me, movie sometime, how about it?

Hi there! 

Lockdown in the Netherlands where I live is getting extended and as an international student with barely any Dutch skills it’s hard to find a job in the essential fields, meaning I’ll most likely be living off my savings for at least one more month so I’m asking for some donations if you can. ;u;

For each donation I’ll make sure to draw you something in return if you ask for it!

1 coffee = a doodle

2 coffies = a nicely lined doodle with something extra

3 coffies = a coloured doodle!

4 and more… heck, I dunno but I’d be super grateful!

17–23 December the Romans traditionally celebrate Saturnalia. Most known for the exessive feasts in which people switched from their ordinairy dayly roles. Parents had to obey their offspring and slaves were served dinner by their masters. All work was put down for celebrations.

What they relive is the legend of a time where Saturnus and Janus ruled the country peacefully together. A time where all people were free and equal and had no private posessions. The Golden Years.

Nowadays the Roman brothers celebrate it each in their own way. Romulus still considers everyone equal these days and engages conversations with anyone; men, women and children, to philosophize how to reach this Perfect Society again.

Remus sees a connection to the Lost Paradise and has a more spiritual approach. He also thinks higher of the opinions of his cat than women and the working class.

The cat, Thaleia, doesn't care about Saturnalia as long as she get's spoiled.
