First and Foremost; you are not, nor ever will be a “g*psy witch” it is a slur, and if you think it is okay to call yourself such, get the fuck off of this blog and don’t come near me with a ten foot pole.   Romani culture has nothing to do with witchcraft, Romani culture is heavily tied to Muslim, Hinduism, and Christianity.   Romani people to this day are typically stereotyped as thieves, criminals and varmint, in Europe it is common to have the Romani people segregated, denied services, denied healthcare, to most they aren’t people at all.  Romani women are still frequently and forcefully sterilized like animals.   During the Holocaust, Hitler exterminated 500,000 Romani people, the persecution dates back easily over 600 years and into the Middles Ages. We aren’t fortune tellers, witches, some mystical creature from a child fairy tale, or a Halloween costume.   You know the term “ gypped” that come from the stereotype of the Roma being dirty thieves and comes from the slur g*psy, and now some of yall are combing “hipster” and this to form “ gypster”, like ??? Everyone tries to say, “that this witchcraft community here on tumbr is so open to everyone”, but, if you are any non-white person you know that is bullshit and it has to change.   Some links to educate y’all fucking ignorant people  Why g*psy is a racial slur Reporter’s Notebook: G*psies & Racism Segregation, bullying and fear: The stunted education of Romani children in Europe PERSECUTION AND POLITICIZATION: ROMA OF EASTERN EUROPE Roma women share stories of forced sterilisation The Story Of The Roma, Europe’s Most Discriminated Group Roma in Europe: Persecuted and misunderstood

1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.

Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.

You can round the edges off a character to make them more “relatable” or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.
