Stolen Accessory ๐Ÿฅท Many worlds of the multiverse know the name of the wayward necromancer Liliana Vess ๐Ÿ’€ Her fate was very dramatic and difficult, but after years of struggling for survival and power - she finally came to harmony and peace, becoming a teacher at the magical academy Strixhaven ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป However, for most of her life she was the same femme fatale who ran away from the ghosts of the past, wove intrigues and fought for power, committing horrific acts... Perhaps one of her main and most memorable attributes is a golden tiara, reminiscent of twisted horns ๐Ÿฅ Few people know how exactly she got this head piece. Initially, it belonged to the Archangel, who was peacefully flying and fulfilling her Archangel duty, wearing the notorious accessory on her head ๐Ÿ˜‡ Then Liliana attracted the attention of the heavenly powers, having arranged another outrage, which could no longer be ignored. The Archangel was entrusted to resolve the issue with the proud Necromancer! But by that time, Liliana had already accumulated enormous power and her dead minions did not allow the heavenly servant to reach her goal ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ Liliana herself received two things from this meeting: the awareness of her incredible power and a beautiful tiara, which became her favorite accessory until the moment of her redemption and return to the righteous path ๐Ÿ™ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Ancient Riddle ๐Ÿคซ Yesterday evening I went for a walk with my dog quite late, there were a lot of things to do and I did not have time to finish them ๐Ÿ˜… I went for a walk already quite tired and went into the darkness of the fields. The weather is quite warm here right now, so the snow is molding well and unexpectedly for myself I decided to make a snowman โ˜ƒ๏ธ It turned out quite unusual haha โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ˜ธ Only when I returned home, I realized that the snowman is somewhat similar to the Great Shigir Idol! This is the oldest wooden sculpture in the world found by archaeologists. According to the latest estimates of scientists, the age of the idol is 12,100 years ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ The idol was found in the 19th century during the gold rush in the Urals, at the sites of mining of a deposit in peat bogs. It was the peat bog that saved the tree from rotting. For a long time, the find was not given much importance, because it was thought to be relatively young and about 1,500 years old, but with the advent of more accurate dating methods, everything changed. The Shigir Idol became a real sensation in the scientific community, although popular culture knows practically nothing about this ancient artifact ๐Ÿค“ It is still unknown what the ornaments and faces carved on the Idol mean. Scientists are systematically studying it, but so far they have not made much progress, putting forward various theories - confirmations of which have not yet been found! It was definitely a cult object and this creates some difficulties for modern science, since it is generally accepted that the hunter-gatherer society of that time was more primitive and could not create such artifacts ๐Ÿค” Adding fuel to the fire of conspiracy theories is the fact that a fairly large part of the Idol (about two meters) disappeared from the museum in the middle of the last century and no one knows what exactly happened to it... Perhaps someone didn't want us to find out something ๐Ÿคญ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Inner strength ๐Ÿ™ It just so happened that the practice of Qigong has an important role in my life, which helps me strengthen my physical and spiritual health โœจ For me, this is a very dear, comfortable and comprehensive practice. However, the history of the origin of Qigong itself is rather vague and lost in the centuries. The word qigong itself is quite young, it appeared in the 20th century, and consists of two hieroglyphs. The hieroglyph Qi ๆฐฃ means "energy", and the hieroglyph gong ๅŠŸ means "work". Work does not mean management, but rather the creation of conditions for Qi to flow ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Something similar to Qigong began to emerge along with Chinese medicine (about 3000 years ago) and Taoist internal alchemy ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ The first Taoists were legendary people, it was believed that they could control Qi and thus prolong their lives for centuries! Of course, for these purposes they developed a special set of secret exercises - elements of which have survived to this day and ended up in Qigong ๐Ÿค“ Modern Qigong masters never talk about Qi management. In China, saying that you can manage Qi is the same as saying that you are a great Qigong master, but usually truly great masters are very modest... After the era of the Taoists, the practice was adopted by the Buddhists ๐Ÿชท Shaolin monks practiced similar exercises to recover from injuries, strengthen health and realize themselves in the flow of time. It was also at this time that Qigong became the basis for many martial arts, providing an important basis for the formation of a strong, resilient body and an unshakable Spirit. It is the practice of Qigong that helps people cut wood, stone and even metal with the palm of their hands ๐Ÿคฏ Personally, I do not cut stones with my hands and do not know how to control the flows of life, but Qigong definitely helps me keep my body in good shape! It builds a strong will inside me that strengthens my psyche and helps me cope with things that werenโ€™t part of my plans ๐Ÿ‰ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Author of Internet Quotes ๐Ÿ“œ Of course, the bigger share of quotes attributed to Confucius are either distorted or were never even voiced by the great thinker (He didn't talk about mosquitoes and balls either) ๐Ÿค“ However, the fact that he is so popular in the public consciousness as a great sage and teacher is absolutely undeniable! Confucius (real name Kong Qiu) was the son of a brave warrior from an ancient noble family, but by the time the boy was born, this family was in a pitiful state. At an early age, the child lost his father and as a result of family intrigues, he and his mother had to flee their home ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ From early childhood, Confucius worked hard and studied very, very much - he had a phenomenal talent for learning! At the age of 19, he received his first position as a minor official, and by the age of 22 he already had his own school and taught sciences. Around this time, he realized his calling and began to wander around China with his students, thus giving birth to one of the greatest schools of Philosophy - Confucianism โœจ Now Confucianism has become almost a state religion in China, a huge number of officials, managers and successful businessmen were trained according to the methods and principles laid down by Confucius ๐Ÿ‰ Confucius himself was a very modest man and wrote the following about his life: โ€œAt 15, I turned my thoughts to learning. At 30, I found a solid foundation. At 40, I was able to free myself from doubts. At 50, I knew the will of Heaven. At 60, I learned to distinguish truth from lies. At 70, I began to follow the call of my heart and did not disturb the Ritualโ€ ๐Ÿ™ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Star Friends ๐ŸŒŒ Since the beginning of the last century, science fiction writers and a number of adventurous scientists have been actively writing books and putting forward theories about the paleocontact that happened in ancient times ๐Ÿ‘ฝ I wonโ€™t lie - this is a rather fascinating theory that has replaced another popular conspiracy theory about an Ancient civilization that took its sacred knowledge with it, but managed to pass it on to a handful of โ€œchosen onesโ€ ๐Ÿ˜… Science progressed and people needed more convincing versions than the ancient mysterious get-together of powerful folks, so they were replaced by aliens, who at the beginning of the 20th century seemed to be very respectable and trustworthy figures ๐Ÿ˜Ž Although most of the discussions about human contact with aliens sound very far-fetched and a little crazy - personally, I cannot deny the fact that the folklore and mythology of mankind are imbued with stories about Deities coming to us from the sky and share knowledge and control our destinies โœจ Many ancient works of art, architectural monuments and traditions are indeed closely connected to the mysterious guests from the sky ๐Ÿ›ธ By the way, various highly developed cultures, for example the Egyptians, Incas and Nazca, had a widespread tradition of deliberately deforming the skull by lengthening it ๐Ÿคฏ And we immediately think of the majestic pyramids of the Egyptians, the Sphinx, the amazing cities of the Incas, their construction technologies (earthquake-resistant buildings, dense stone masonry without the use of concrete mortars) and, of course, the Nazca geoglyphs! An attentive person immediately would ask the question: How did these guys come to such incredible discoveries and why did they build such huge structures? ๐Ÿง I'm afraid there will always be more questions then answers, but no one can stop us from dreaming a little about how somewhere in a galaxy far, far away aliens are living there thinking: "Isn't it time for us to visit our Earthling friends?" ๐Ÿ˜ธ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Tailed friends ๐Ÿˆ The domestication of cats began about 10 thousand years ago in the Middle East. It began due to the fact that people started the transition from gathering and nomadic lifestyle to settled agriculture ๐ŸŒพ Cats were indispensable assistants in the fight against rodents that destroyed grain and food supplies! Later, cats began to work at sea, protecting ships from rats - thus they allowed marine trade to develop successfully and humanity was able to begin to explore new lands โš“๏ธ Contrary to popular belief, the Ancient Egyptians were not the first to domesticate cats, but they were the ones who bred those cute and pleasant cats that we are accustomed to ๐Ÿฑ After the conquest of Egypt by the Roman Empire, Egyptian cats spread throughout Europe up to Britain, Iceland and the Slavic principalities ๐Ÿคฏ At the beginning of the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX issued a bull stating that cats are the Devil's accomplices and must be destroyed ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ In Europe, real persecution of cats begins: they are naturally executed along with "witches". According to some researchers, it was precisely this sharp decline in the cat population that could have caused the Black Death that struck Europe in the 14th century... Gradually, the reputation of professional rodent fighters returned to cats, but Europeans began to keep them as pets only in the 19th century, on the wave of Egyptomania, as a result of which companion cats began to become popular throughout Europe ๐Ÿˆ Now the cat has become a familiar home friend and keeper of comfort for us, but humanity is still trying to answer the question: did we tame them or did they tame us? ๐Ÿ˜ธ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Holiday Socks ๐Ÿงฆ The tradition of putting gifts in a sock and using Christmas stockings most likely originated in Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ In the legends of this country, there is a huge and scary Yule cat, who prowls around houses and eats those who have not acquired a new woolen outfit during the winter holidays ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› The fact is that in Iceland, since ancient times they have been breeding sheep, spinning, weaving and knitting with their wool. Having a woolen item showed that a person had worked hard all year and therefore was able to provide himself with new clothes ๐Ÿ‘ But not everyone managed to knit a new sweater for themselves, so people were a little cunning and gave their household members at least one new woolen sock so that the Yule Cat could not eat them ๐Ÿ˜ธ A little later, a legend appeared about Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus), who was known for his kindness and generosity ๐ŸŽ… He learned that three poor orphan sisters lived on the outskirts of a village. They were pure in soul, humble and modest in character - he knew that they would be embarrassed to ask for help or accept it directly. Therefore, flying over their house Santa Claus threw gold coins into the chimney, which landed in the socks, which at that moment were getting dried by the fireplace! From that moment on people began hanging socks by the fireplace in hopes of receiving a blessing and help from St. Nicholas โœจ Do you have a festive stocking hanging at home? โ˜บ๏ธ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Toy Village ๐Ÿงธ Few people know now that the famous ballet "The Nutcracker" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann were inspired by a small wooden toy created by former miners in a small town in eastern Germany ๐Ÿ”๏ธ Seiffen is a community that produces incredibly beautiful wooden toys! More than 300 years ago, it was just a mining settlement that mined tin โ›๏ธ In the winter season, work in the mines stopped and on long, dark evenings residents carved funny toys from wood. However, over time the mines began to run out, and the community risked being left without a livelihood. Then the enterprising miners came up with the idea to start making high-quality wooden toys ๐ŸŽ The thing is that they had special grinding tools, so their wooden toys had a pleasant feel to them - you wanted to hold them in your hands, touch them and play with them ๐Ÿค— No one remembers who first came up with the idea of โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹creating a silly toy that could crack nuts, but it was the Nutcracker that people really loved and it caused an instant sellout at fairs! Most likely, it was at one of these fairs where young Hoffmann noticed it, immortalizing the image of the Nutcracker and bringing eternal glory to Seiffen ๐ŸŒ„ Currently about 2,000 people live in Seiffen, most of the population is engaged in the production of wooden toys! The town has a lot of workshops, shops and a wonderful toy museum - now it is a real fairytale city of artisans โœจ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Holiday Lights โœจ The prototype of modern christmas lights are candles, which in the mid-17th century began to be used as decorations for Christmas trees ๐ŸŽ„ I think you can guess that this is very unsafe (candles could easily set the tree and the whole house on fire), so candles were lit only for one night and next to each holiday tree there was always a bucket of water! Some wealthy people hired a special person who watched for several days to ensure that the candles did not go out and the tree did not catch fire ๐Ÿคตโ€โ™€๏ธ As a rule, the authorship of the electric garland is attributed to Thomas Edison's assistant - Edward Johnson, but his invention went unnoticed, since journalists did not pay due attention to it. But the idea of โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹telephone operator Ralph Morrison was quickly picked up. He came up with his own version of electric lights when he observed the strings of light bulbs in telephone switchboards ๐Ÿ’ก But the real breakthrough in the use of electric Christmas lights as decoration occurred only in 1917, when fifteen-year-old Albert Sadakka, having read about the tragic fire of Christmas tree candles in New York, decided to create a truly safe and affordable garland himself ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿญ He closed the string of light bulbs into a single grid, thus creating what is in the modern sense an electric garland! A few years later, this invention brought Albert a fortune ๐Ÿ˜Ž Do you have Christmas lights hanging at home now? โ˜บ๏ธ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Where does the Christmas Tree grow from ๐ŸŽ„ It is no longer a secret that many Christmas traditions familiar to Europeans came to us from the pagan traditions of celebrating Yule โ„๏ธ Yule is a midwinter holiday. In honor of the longest night of the year, a great holiday was held, as the medieval Germans expected the revival of the Oak King, who warmed the frozen earth and awakened life in the seeds stored in its bosom throughout the long winter ๐ŸŒณ It was a very large-scale and joyful holiday, so its traces can be seen in our culture to this day ๐Ÿค“ One of the most striking examples is the Yule log, which the ancient Germans installed in their homes or yard - they decorated it with beautiful things and put various gifts (presents) under it, does it remind you of anything? ๐Ÿ˜… Then, during the Christianization of Europe, something had to be done with pagan holidays and the wise rulers decided to simply assimilate the existing traditions, slightly changing their meaning so that it would be more suitable for the current rhetoric ๐Ÿ˜ธ The Yule Log was also not ignored and a legend about Saint Boniface appeared: as a missionary, he was engaged in โ€œeducationalโ€ activities and in one of these campaigns he decided to cut down the sacred tree for the Germans, the Oak of Donar, to show that the Germanic Gods are powerless before God alone. (As for me, the action is quite cruel, even if Boniface had good intentions) According to legend, the evergreen tree grew in place of the felled oak, thereby showing the pagans how its triangular shape reminds of the Trinity and how it points to heaven ๐ŸŒฒ We do not know whether this really happened and under what circumstances, but from that moment on, the Spruce increasingly became a symbol and the main guest of all winter holidays among the Germans, and then spread throughout Europe and the world - bringing with it a lot of joy, beauty and gifts for children and adultsโœจ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Healing with a sword ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Now the Teutonic Order is a quiet organization that helps the poor and people in need, mainly by engaging in medical activities โ›‘๏ธ But in the 13th century it was the strongest political player in Europe and the only knightly order that was able to build a state with its own economy ๐Ÿคฏ Starting with the example of the Order of the Hospitallers and other knightly-monastic orders - the Teutons were a completely harmless organization created to help compatriots during the Crusades in Jerusalem. They even had a kind and sincere motto: "Help - heal - protect" ๐Ÿ™ However, later the Teutons became important figures at the political arena, and European leaders used the army of the Teutonic Knights as mercenaries in the battle against political opponents ๐Ÿฐ Soon the era of crusades began against the pagans, in particular against the Prussians. On their lands, the knights carried out a very cruel colonial policy, almost completely destroying the local population! Thanks to the patronage of the Pope, organized robberies and seizures of the economies of entire states, the order was able to significantly strengthen its influence and begin minting its own coins and even compete with the Hanseatic League in economics ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ Of course, centuries later, many European states got tired of living next to such warlike, economically strong and cunning fellas ๐Ÿ˜ค And by the end of the 15th century, after a series of bloody and epic wars between Catholics, the order lost its power and subsequently was no longer able to regain its former influence... Do you think that the founders of this order knew that it would turn into a military-economic machine when they chose such a motto? ๐Ÿซ  #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

The Gold of Troy ๐Ÿด Once upon a time there was an unusual man: an excellent entrepreneur, a polyglot and a self-taught archaeologist, and also a bit of a greedy person, a dreamer and a big fan of Ancient Greece... His name was Heinrich Schliemann ๐Ÿง The world knows him as the discoverer of the legendary Troy and as the man who found the treasure of the mighty ruler Priam! Although the scientific community decided back in the 19th century that Heinrich did not find Troy at all, and the treasure could be a fake (There are still discussions about this) ๐Ÿค“ The biography of Heinrich Schliemann is a separate topic for a fascinating book to be written on, and we will not be able to cover it within the framework of a short post. I will only say that his whole life from early childhood was connected with scandals and adventures and when he found the treasures - another major scandal broke out ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The whole point is that Schliemann stole the treasure from his own excavations and smuggled them from the Ottoman Empire to Greece! There they became the property of his personal collection and surfaced in the newspapers only a few months after the discovery - the photographs showed Schliemann's wife wearing gold jewelry and the legendary diadem of Helen of Troy ๐Ÿ‘‘ Newspapers began to be full of headlines about the fact that a self-taught German archaeologist had found Troy ๐Ÿคฏ Heated discussions flared up in the scientific community about Heinrich Schliemann being an amateur and a falsifier, the Ottoman Empire demanding its valuables back, and young Greece, which had recently gained independence, modestly trying to ask Schliemann for Priam's treasure as a gift to the state - in general, passions flared up in earnest ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ This post is so big that it didnโ€™t fit in the format haha! The rest of the text will be in the comments below! ๐Ÿ˜… #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Secret Masters of the Earth ๐Ÿคซ Well, mushrooms are not the worst company - they are quite social and like to communicate via electrical impulses (at least with each other) ๐Ÿ˜ธ Perhaps after years of living in such conditions a person will even learn to understand the ways mushrooms communicate and enter into some kind of symbiotic relationship with them ๐Ÿค“ Once I had a thought - what if folklore characters and the entire mythology of mankind in general is based on the experience of interacting with mushrooms? A certain shaman or just a hunter-gatherer could have accidentally stumbled upon unusual mushrooms and tried them ๐Ÿ„ Their vivid experience could have became the basis for certain changes in consciousness and in the paradigm of the perception of reality! In the scientific community, works on this subject periodically appear, but it seems that no one has looked at this through the prism of the fact that mushrooms enter into a dialogue with a person, instilling certain ideas and guiding humanity with their own interest! By the way, in Slavic folklore there is a creature Leshy - an ancient spirit patron of the forest ๐ŸŒณ Leshy makes sure that people do not take too much from the forest, do not kill too many animals and birds, don't collect too many berries, don't cut down trees unnecessarily and of course don't collect too many mushrooms!!! What if Leshy and similar folklore characters exist as a special cunning system for protecting mushrooms from human influence, what if these characters are created by mushrooms in our minds on purpose, what if our entire language and culture are formed by mushrooms? ๐Ÿคฏ We are unlikely to find an answer to this and other complex questions in the near future... Perhaps mushrooms will never reveal their secrets to us and will keep controlling the decisions and development of our species on this planet ๐ŸŒ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Mad Socrates ๐Ÿคช This is exactly how Plato called Diogenes of Sinope - his opponent and one of the most famous and outrageous sages in the history of mankind! Diogenes was a people's favorite, as he was an ascetic and despised excesses, wealth and fame ๐Ÿ˜ค Thanks to this, many legends have been preserved, but we still do not know which of them are fiction and which are reality... Diogenes begins his journey as a counterfeiter. Having received a prediction from the Delphic Pythia that he should "re-evaluate values" - the philosopher misinterprets it and literally begins to counterfeit money. Only years later, expelled from his hometown, he will understand what his true goal is - he is destined to re-evaluate "spiritual values" โœจ In Athens, Diogenes discovers a new teaching - the Cynicism of Antisthenes. The Cynics believed that the best life was not just naturalness, but getting rid of conventions and artificialities, freedom from possession of the unnecessary and useless. Antisthenes claimed that to achieve good one should live "doglike" ๐Ÿ• Diogenes was inspired by the ideas of the new teacher and began to implement them, living in a clay pithos (not a barrel, as many believe), the philosopher constantly staged outrageous performances, shocking the inhabitants of Athens! One day, he lit a lantern and walked along the streets of the city. When asked what he was doing, the answer was: "Looking for a human" ๐Ÿ˜‡ Another time, Diogenes began to give a philosophical lecture in the city square. No one listened to him. Then Diogenes began to squeal like a bird, and a hundred onlookers gathered around. "This, Athenians, is the price of your mind," Diogenes told them. โ€” When I told you smart things, no one paid attention to me, and when I started twittering like a mindless bird, you listen to me with your mouths open" ๐Ÿ˜ฑ In general, Diogenes of Sinope was a real pain in the ass for decent citizens and rulers. One time he even managed to troll Alexander the Great himself - but you can read about this yourself if you are intere

A pet in your pocket ๐Ÿฑ In the mid-90s, Japanese created something that made children all around the world rejoice, cry and clean up poop daily - they created Tamagotchi! ๐Ÿ‘พ The word Tamagotchi itself consists of the Japanese word "Tamago" (egg) and an English word "watch"โŒš๏ธ The concept was proposed by Akihiro Yokoi, who initially planned to create an analogue of a watch, but marketer Aki Maita slightly improved the idea and the finalised product was a virtual pet that fits in your pocket ๐Ÿ˜Ž Phenomenal success, record sales and popularity around the world - that's what awaited the Bandai company and its brainchild! It's interesting that the first Tamagotchi were aliens with a very unusual biography: The Tamagotchi's home planet got drunk due to the fault of an old man named Oyazitti (a big fan of sake) and ceased to be suitable for life ๐Ÿถ After that, this grandpa and his relatives left it and went to look for a new one! Tamagotchi didn't succeed in this, and their ship crashed on Earth in Japan (of course haha)! Here, the aliens were found by a local professor Banzo with his assistant Mikachu who placed them in special egg-shaped capsules ๐Ÿคฏ Of course, I had a Tamagotchi as a child, I played with it all day long and was very worried that my pet could die, and when it did die, I really cried! ๐Ÿ˜ญ What a fantastic gameplay idea for a children's toy, right? ๐Ÿซ  Have you had a Tamagotchi? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Male friendship ๐Ÿค Much has been said about male friendship and it already has the status of some kind of legendary phenomenon, which cannot be said about female friendship, which in the mass consciousness is considered a myth haha โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ˜ธ Indeed, men can be very loyal and devoted friends, and their joint adventures will not leave anyone indifferent ๐Ÿคช It just so happened that in my life I was more friends with men than with women! For quite a long time, I had the status of "one of the guys", because I have rather masculine interests, and I behaved like a tomboy (Hello Vi from Arcane ๐Ÿ˜…) Be that as it may, over time, boys begin to develop an interest in girls, and girls in boys haha โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ˜ธ And my tomboy status slowly began to fade away, and I became a girl with tomboyish interests - also a rather privileged position ๐Ÿ˜Ž And here we come to the stumbling block that usually destroys the strongest male friendships - girls ๐ŸŒธ Although I myself have never become a reason for quarrels and breakups between people - I have seen many times how men break the strongest ties with each other in just a few days, driven by their desires, grievances and fears! Led by women ๐Ÿ‘ป It came out a little sad, but of course I'm joking and exaggerating a little! I wanted to get to the point that in fact both men and women can be great friends and have a genuine connection with the opposite sex - it all depends on the decisions of each individual ๐Ÿค“ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny
