I realized my grandma(s) thought me several useful, almost magical tips. that's why I want to make a "series" about them! I love repov for being some sort of textual YouTube and that's why I think I'll sort the post into collections. first of all, my "character development" collection, because those advices really shaped who I am today; secondly my "magic" collection, since, as I said, those folklore tips lies a fairly amount of good witchcraft. I'll decide later if this is a collection worth of posts. even if I don't have a real audience around here, and that's not even my final purpose, there's something in the way I do things that wants everything organized for.. posterity, I'd say. (let's blame my Leo rising for this and move on) hope you'll enjoy them! a thing that's slightly boring me is that I don't know how to properly date them.. some tips are from decades ago, how am I supposed to know?! maybe I'll just leave the date as I share it.. idk yet [Jan 24, 2026 update: I found out that the best way to sort this series is by giving it hashtags! I didn't know it was possible here on repov, so like- yeah, it has an hashtag now] #grandmaknowsbest
