A guide to worship of Demeter - cheat sheets
Hellenic cheat sheets
Brain's got me thinkin' about a boy. Not boys but a boy and I find that very very uncool of it.
The Not Deer was only ever supposed to be a fun, loose campfire story based on some experiences my friends and I had in a small area, and it's weird seeing it grow so wildly out of control.
It's aggrivating to see people slap appropriated Native American lore onto it when it was never supposed to be that. It's strange seeing people get so heated over a spooky story and try to debunk something that was never meant to be truly "bunked" in the first place.
I have no control over what the internet decides to do with it, of course. It's way out of my hands at this point. But I'd love for more people to know that "OP" does NOT endorse conflating the Not Deer with appropriated Native American folklore and to cut that shit out because it's disrespectful. The Not Deer is his own little guy and I just want people to enjoy his story.
