Like in a Fairy Tale 🧚‍♀️ We are going on a new journey through the MTG universe, this time we will find ourselves in the fairy-tale world of Eldraine, where old legends and familiar stories from childhood take on a new form! The world of Eldraine is based on the Arthurian legends, German and English fairy tales, so this world is very dark and dangerous 🦇 "Emry, Lurker of the Loch" is a reference to the "Lady of the Lake" from the Arthurian legends - it was she who gave Arthur the magic sword "Excalibur" 🗡 Many people mistakenly believe that Arthur took "Excalibur" out of the stone, but this is not true - Arthur took another sword out of the stone, which most likely bore the name "Clarent" 🪨 "Blow Your House Down" is the from the famous children's fable "Three Little Pigs", in which a wolf blows away the flimsy buildings of the piglets with his powerful breath, and only one of the pig brothers - hardworking and persistent, manages to build a strong enough house to hold back the onslaught of the wolf 🐷 "Totentanz, Swarm Piper" - The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a rather creepy legend, because it is recorded in the chronicles along with other ordinary events and even has an exact date of June 26, 1284 🐀 The local authorities refused to pay the Pied Piper who saved the city from rats, and he took all the children over four years old with him from the city, more than a hundred people disappeared without a trace in a day 🤯 It is interesting that the card is called "Totentanz", which in German means "Dance of Death" - a popular medieval story telling about the frailty of human existence 💀 Where do you think the children from the city of Hamelin disappeared and what is behind this legend? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Triskaidekophobia 1️⃣3️⃣ We're returning to my terribly beloved, gothic Innistrad 🦇 Here, at night, menacing Werewolves howl in the forests, evil spirits search for lost travelers, and vampire aristocrats fight for power and blood 🧛‍♀️ People can only fight to maintain sanity in the midst of this creepy world 👩‍🌾 Of course, many fail to keep their sanity and most people develop phobias, for example, a fear of the number 13 - Triskaidekophobia 😱 There are several funny cards that play with meanings of this phobia! For example, the enchantment of the same name, which makes the player lose if his life total is equal to the fatal number 🤯 If the opponent does not find how to deal with this enchantment, the number 13 will actually start to scare them! It's funny that on the art of this card, a frightened villager runs away from a house in which 13 kitchen tools are hanging, 13 logs are lying in the stove, 13 blood stains are on the wall, and 13 fragments are scattered on the floor 😵‍💫 The other two cards, "Tree of Redemption" and "Tree of Perdition", are mirror versions of each other from different times! The first allows you, the player to swap the life total with your tree, and the second can force you to swap life total with your opponent's tree 🌳 And, of course, both trees have endurance equal to 13! "Tree of Redemption" gave freedom and forgiveness to the hanged souls, but with the arrival of Emrakul, the tree went a little bonkers and now "There will be no absolution." 😡 The last card, "Triskaidekaphile", is a big fan of the number 13 and hands, her card has exactly 13 jars with hands 🫣 And she allows you to win the game if you have exactly 13 cards in your hand - such are the puns in MTG haha 😸 "She's always willing to lend a hand. It just won't be her own." Do you have any unusual phobias? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Shamans, courtesans and queens 👸 The choker first appeared in Ancient Egypt and was often used as an amulet to protect against evil spirits, rather than as a fashion element 🧿 On the other side of the world, Native Americans wore chokers as a symbol of power and a sacred amulet! Many shamans and chieftains wore these decorations made from feathers, animal bones and shells 🐚 Then, during the Renaissance, the choker came into fashion as a decoration for the rich and noble. Gold and pearl necklaces decorated with precious stones became an essential accessory for palace fashionistas 🏰 Then came the 19th century and the black velvet choker quietly became an identification mark for courtesans and dancers 💃 However, at the end of the century, Queen Alexandra of Denmark once again returned the choker to the status of a "noble" accessory. She often appeared in public and in photographs in wide chokers with beads up to her chin! The reason for this was a scar that she got in her childhood, so the queen decided to hide it 🎀 At the end of the 20th century, there was a real fashion boom, which elevated chokers to the rank of universal jewelry for all levels of society, it was worn by everyone: from pop stars to provincial schoolgirls 👩‍🏫 Now this accessory is in the wardrobe of almost every fashionista: it is worn when going out, visiting the theater and spending passionate nights 🫦 In general, having made this long way through the centuries, the choker took a well-deserved place in our jewelry boxes haha ​​😸 Do you like this accessory or is it too vulgar for you? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Celtic Motifs 🍀 The mythology of Western culture and civilization owes much to the Celts, all the elves, gnomes, dragons and epic heroes - came to us from the folklore of this people, who inhabited modern Europe for centuries and are closely connected with other ethnic groups 🤗 Just like magical creatures, traditions and holidays came to our modern mythology and perception from the Celtic oral tradition 🎃 Of course, one of the most striking examples is Halloween or All Saints' Day or, as it was called in the original, Samhain 🌾 This was a holiday marking the end of the agricultural season, the beginning of the dark period of the year, marking the onset of a harsh, cold stage that people had to survive 🥶 On this day, the gates to the other world opened and all sorts of Fairies and Spirits left their Hills and came here from other dimensions ✨ Frequent guests at Samhain were also the Fomorians, which we talked about earlier in this post 📝(https://fansly.com/post/683405007680184321) It is unknown how exactly the tradition of dressing up arose, whether someone started putting on creepy costumes and masks for fun to scare people and beg them for a treat, or whether it had a ritual basis, some claim that parents dressed their children in monster costumes to hide them from the eyes of the Fairies who had a habit of replacing human children with their own 😱 Be that as it may, now we have a cheerful and carefree holiday that pleases children and adults all over the world 😄 Although who knows, maybe even today ancient hills and mounds open doors to other worlds and the Fomorians come out into our world to carry out their mysterious will 🌙 P.S.: I have a book about Celtic Mythology in my hands, a very interesting read! 🤓 #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

Reaper King 💀 There is one very dark world in the MTG universe, without going into details I will say that this is an unusual world, since it was created by the spells of a powerful fairy! The world itself has two main aspects and phases: light, sunny and summery - Lorwyn, and gloomy, autumn, where the sun never rises - Shadowmoor 🕸️ Today we are interested in Shadowmoor and in particular its scarecrows! It must be said that Shadowmoor's scarecrows have the ability to walk, do simple work and actually fright anyone quite a bit 😱 They were created by the local humanoid race - the Kithkin! The Kithkin are most similar to hobbits - they're short, love comfort, their farms, but unlike hobbits, they are masters of military craft and telepathy 😵‍💫 They need scarecrows to protect the harvest, help with the housework and defend against small, malicious creatures! They say that the first scarecrows were created from the wood of treefolk, and that is why they are endowed with magical properties! Be that as it may, over time, the scarecrows acquired somewhat of their own will, some of them were abandoned by their owners or got lost, and such lost "souls" found refuge under the banners of the Reaper King 🎃 Little is known about the Reaper King, but he is definitely the strongest of the animated scarecrows of Shadowmoor! For a long time, he has been wandering through the endless fields, forests and swamps, becoming larger and stronger, gaining experience and taking other scarecrows under his aegis. He leads them and they wander through the gloom of Shadowmoor, heading towards an unknown goal - "It's harvest time." 🌾🌙🍂 I don't know about you, but for me this is a rather creepy and fascinating image, I would like to be friends with such a scarecrow if I had the opportunity! And how is your relationship with scarecrows, are you afraid of them by any chance? 😬 #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny #mtg

Bye bye, Arachnophobia! 🕷️ Since childhood, I was afraid of bugs, spiders and woodlice! It was a real test for me to be near them and even look at them 😱 They seemed very creepy to me, and I could not even explain to myself why they evoked such strong emotions in my brain - I was just scared! But one day everything changed... At 16, I went to a summer camp, it was with an emphasis on education, very similar to a short-time nice college 🤓 I chose the Biological Squad, because it was the most interesting direction, ahead of me was meeting nice people, excellent teachers and horrifying tests haha ​​😸 Once, my squad and I went into the forest to search for and study insects! I really didn't want to go into the forest to catch insects, so as not to disturb these creatures, and I didn't want to get too scared once again 😅 I hoped that I would just walk around and not have to disturb anyone! And so it was, my group caught a lot of bugs, and I just walked around, but at some point the jars for storing the insects ran out... And our teacher caught a rare, giant, fat beetle with huge antennae, legs, I think this bug was around the size of my palm!🪲 There was nowhere to put it and the teacher quickly throwing "Here you go, May" just forcefully put it in my hand and ran away to catch more beetles!!! I was terribly scared, my hand and whole body were shaking, my eyes widened, I held the bug with two fingers and whined, begging him to take the bug away from me 😭 The bug, as luck would have it, started shaking its head quickly, trying to bite something and loudly rattling its antennae, I almost lost consciousness! I started screaming for the teacher to take the bug away from me, but he just laughed and said: "Hold it, hold it, May, don't let it go for anything!" 😸 I decided that I would hold the bug and closely monitor all its actions so that it wouldn't bite me or eat me haha ​​🤣 A strong sense of responsibility awoke in me, I realized that this bug was really rare and our "expedition" couldn't miss it! And after a few mi

Shadows over something 🌘 As I said last week, MTG has a huge number of Lovecraft references, there are even entire worlds that are imbued with an atmosphere of horror. For example, the dark and gothic world of Innistrad 🦇 In this world, everything has always been unsettling, and in one of the latest expansions, they even summoned an ancient, abominable Deity from another reality! The series of these expansions is called "Shadows over Innistrad", which in itself is a bold reference to Lovecraft's story "Shadows over Innsmouth". In addition to the general atmosphere, the Ancient Deity and all sorts of distortions of space, objects and perception, these sets squeezed in a couple of direct references to the work of the gentleman from Providence 🤓 For example, the Rancid Rats card and its flavor text: "They're in the walls! Can't you hear them?" almost literally refer us to the story of Lovecraft "Rats in the Walls" - a very creepy story teaching us that sometimes it is better for us not to know the history of ancient estates and what our ancestors did there... And the card "Cryptolith Fragment" and its reverse side "Aurora of Emrakul" (in MTG there are double-sided "transformer"-cards) keep an interesting flavor text: “I felt compelled to take the twisted stone, and I abandoned my horse's burden to accommodate its weight. Now, its continued glow illuminates my home and warms my mind." — Garner Kroft, Moorland farmer This text alludes to Lovecraft's work "The Colour Out of Space", in which farmer Nahum Gardner and his family encounter a meteorite falling on their farm, a very creepy story, far ahead of its time and, by the way, this is the writer's favorite work ✨ And here is "Emrakul, the Promised End" herself, whose radiance and bad influence we discussed above, this is an Ancient Deity, very similar in its properties and manifestations to Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath or Cthulhu Lovecraft! In MTG, the analogues of the Ancient Gods are called Eldrazi - these are unpleasant creatures from other dimensions, very s

In the Footsteps of the Amphins 🌊 Continuing with the Lovecraft theme, MTG has many references to the work of the gentleman from Providence! And one of the most mysterious is the race of Amphins, identical to Lovecraft's "Deep Ones". Amphins are a race of lanky, cunning, partially aquatic humanoids from the world of Shandalar. They can live both in the salty depths and in overgrown shallows 🐸 Very little is known about their civilization, and those bits of information that are available are collected by only one scientist adventurer - Gor Muldrak 🤠 His research leads him deeper and deeper into the abyss of the secrets of this ancient race! And judging by the art of his map, the amphins themselves guess about his search and are carefully observing... But here is what the adventurer himself writes in his works: “The amphin, a race of amphibious humanoids, have lived peacefully for generations in the depths of the seas, but their numbers have expanded, and their ammonite temple- caves can no longer hold their burgeoning numbers. The amphins' priests have set their sights upon Shandalar's shorelines, and their hunters have girded themselves for war. Meanwhile their mnemomages have infiltrated the sewers of each of the major cities. They have used their mind control powers to erase all knowledge of the amphins' existence from the minds of humanity. The near-universal ignorance of the amphin in every major university from Ardestan to Lesh is simultaneously evidence of the amphins' power, and of their nefarious intent." - Gor Muldrak, “Cryptohistories” Do you think there are similar hidden civilizations in our world? 🧐 #cute #teen #babyface #babygirl #skinny
