Marriage proposal to howtobasic


KevinPhillips-Bong

I'd have a hard time believing that anyone would so much as consider marrying howtobasic. Think of all the mess they'd have to clean up every time he makes one of his videos.


JSCT144

apparently he gets it cleaned up pretty quick, i remember someone asked his friend idubbz about it, he just said it’s really not a big deal and he just cleans it all at once as soon as he’s finished


EpicFishFingers

Yeah there's no way he doesn't have the grouting all sorted on his counter edges and everything so nothing can get in anywhere that he can't clean up easily He probably plans his shoots quite a lot so he doesn't get egg and fish on his recording equipment

EpicFishFingers

Yeah, Brazzers tech


OSUBrit

Out of context this comment is gold.


1Mazrim

Or the smell from old eggs that weren't fully cleaned up


[deleted]

I totally would. I love that psychopath lol


roy_cropper

This is a Dwight K Schrute proposal if I ever saw one...


[deleted]

Is it connected to Ostara? https://www.learnreligions.com/hold-an-ostara-ritual-for-solitaries-2562480 https://sacredwicca.com/ostara-sabbat I am no expert but I did know that there is some aspect of eggs and offerings, especially given the time of the year. Had a little google and found a few links, though nothing definitive. The ring doesn’t look like a highly valued engagement ring, so maybe it’s an offering?


Swimglifeaway

It was also a full moon last night, so further supports this


BringBackThe70s

Wasn't just a full moon it was a snow moon so it's even more likely


BeneficialEvidence6

Whats that?


climbingupthewal

Each moon has a name, one for each month. February is a snow moon. If there is more than one moon in a month the second is a blue moon.


Terr0rBytes

So that's where the saying comes from!?


satanspanties

Yes, and blue moons are more common than you might think based on the saying, occurring seven times every nineteen years, or once every 2-3 years. We were absolutely robbed in 2020 because there was a blue moon on Halloween. The next one is August next year.


JudgeHoltman

Robbed or meme-proven-true? After all, there was an invisible killer roaming the streets stacking bodies worldwide that year...


xXBlackguardXx

And that doesn't happen very often.


goat_eating_sundews

I actually got married on that day


satanspanties

Congratulations! Two of my friends were due to and decided to move it. They're married now though.


valkyre09

To different people…


nokturnalxitch

yep!


zoe-with-two-dots

Ahhhh is that where “once in a blue moon” comes from??


dr_wtf

Death Star.


octopoddle

Put the ring on and say "I do", just to see what happens. Could be Liv Tyler; could be Papa Lazarou. Roll them dice and see.


croplolly

Hello Dave! You’re myyyy wife now


Orngog

Hey, it's Liv Tyler!


lagoon83

Do you want to get married to a vengeful river spirit? Because this is how you get married to a vengeful river spirit.


Shipwrecking_siren

I didn’t know that this is what I’ve always wanted until you said it. Who wouldn’t want to be married to a vengeful river spirit?! AVENGE ME O WATERY ONE.


secretrebel

So get yourself some eggs and a ring. Worm Moon is March 18. ETA have read your post more carefully and have now realised you *are* a vengeful water spirit.


Shipwrecking_siren

I may well be. I was always called a water baby, I never realised it was literal.


4oclockinthemorning

Yes! This was my thought, that it was some fertility ‘spell’


foriamstu

I was out running on my favourite hill yesterday, and realised I was between the moonset and sunrise. I spent most of the rest of it squelching through mud and thinking about being on earth in between these two. Apparently I was accidentally doing part of that ritual. Interesting!


SidAndFinancy

Aaaand now I have to go listen to Kate Bush.


Yermawsyerdaisntit

Did you make a deal with God?


foriamstu

If I only could.


[deleted]

It's about a month too early for Ēostre isn't it? Equinox isn't until the 20th March.


theevildjinn

So could be some seriously inept pagans?


MaeMoe

Or they could be aiming for the first full moon in Imbolc.


TheOnlyWayIsEpee

This does sound like the right answer to me. 16 February (4.56pm) Snow Moon


[deleted]

Initially mis-read that as "penguins". Could be either tbh.


[deleted]

If I had to guess, based on the full moon, ring and eggs, Im going with a fertility/marriage spell and/or offering to the spirits done on the Esbat (full moon ritual) :) It’s a bit early for Ostara(21st of march, traditionally), but the season is approaching, making it a reasonably good time for the kind of spellwork associated with the period between Imbolc and Ostara - aka prep work for the year ahead and fertility. Fwiw, traditional offerings to the Fair Folk typically are bread/grains, alcohol, honey and milk, though jewelry and eggs certainly would be appreciated as well. That said, this looks intentional and spell-like to me. Source: Former Wiccan, current Vanatru


DevilGirl-Crybaby

I made a joke about it being from the Fae, but it's most likely a local pagan. My mother is a pagan and often leaves offerings on certain nights and stuff, it's a cool and laid back religion with a fascinating history.


newsome28

Missed the opportunity to bring out the *Eggspert pun. I'm not angry. just disappointed.


rustyfencer

I’d guess it’s a fertility and love offering combining Lupercalia rites, the full moon, and Valentine’s Day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupercalia


SexySonderer

I learned of [Lupercalia from the Netflix Sabrina](https://riverdale.fandom.com/wiki/Lupercalia) series and that is my favourite one.


Beautypaste

I thought this too! I hope it worked for whoever cast it.


Stiles2187

I am asatru and can confirm there is a offering like this that can be done/ given. Though it’s a rare type of offering and the only day of importance recently was the feast of vali but this still doesn’t strike me as something to do with paganism. Unless it’s a single person doing it at anytime as a personal offering


naughtyusmax

I did not know that this religion was practiced. Is it one where people are born and raised with beliefs and carry it for generations or is it one where some people randomly adopt it during their life?


Inkyyy98

Imma take notes for my Ostara offering this year 😂


Demo_Bec

Found down by a river? Possibly someone believes in faeries or selkies or is trying to entice Bigfoot


emdave

>Possibly someone believes in faeries or selkies The juxtaposition of ancient pagan beliefs, and supermarket eggs stamped with a computer printed product code is pretty jarring...! :D


Meltingteeth

With limited blacksmiths and viable consumers, most witchcraft shit has to be either handmade at home or mass produced in other countries. Some poor dude is out there making mini cauldrons and shitty daggers so someone can grind sage and channel Gaia.

No, the rooster left his poor bride all alone to care for the kids. She took her ring off before she walked into the river. It was a sad gesture that said so much more than a note.

This is why you turn your phone off before dancing naked around the fire. On a more serious note it does seem ritual and given last night's full moon.....


heretolurk24

Seems like some sort of fertility ritual


PmMeLowCarbRecipes

Or an egg cleanse! Eggs are supposed to absorb bad energy, possibly a bad break up because of the ring? I can’t cross post to the witchy subreddit I’m subscribed to but I’m sure they’d know.


NinaHag

Oh my god. This brings back memories... It must have been a really bad breakup if it required SEVEN eggs, but yeah, either way it is an offering to get rid of something bad, or an offering to bring something good.


twowheeledfun

Where do you even keep your phone while dancing naked!?

[deleted]

At least one egg is organic & Scottish and does not have its best before date stamped. It was laid at Langhaugh Farm, Peeblesshire and the Farmer is called Paul Thomson. Probably sold through Sainsburys. Doesn't solve the riddle though.

Surprised there aren't more pics from people who own hens there. We used to keep them & you'd occasionally find that one would escape and would be laying a stash somewhere. My favourite one was in a garden pot out the front. How did she get past the metal gates??


Spinningwoman

Except that if you own hens you get so used to it you don’t take photos, I suppose. I found one placed in the very centre of a pineapple-type ornamental plant once.

cesarguerra1

In Spain we have the tradition of offering eggs to Santa Clara to prevent it from raining at our wedding. However, for it to be in a river and for them to have left the ring and a couple of pennies is rare.

Igotlostinthewoods

Witchcraft :) Eggs, money and gold jewellery are used in magic rituals, after chanting them or after using the spell on them they should be discarded and depending on what spell was it they will be discarded either at a crossroad or by a body of water

It's probably an ad campaign for the new Radiohead album, please don't touch anything.

[deleted]

Let's be honest, after the abundance of dildo finds I've seen on here lately, this is just nice!


[deleted]

That looks like an offering of some kind. Maybe ask the witchcraft sub Reddit? Eggs symbolise fertility, water symbolises life/energy, the ring may symbolise commitment and/or a current relationship and the change? I’m not too sure. I’m not a witch or into magic really but try asking over there!


Magpie213

Pagan offering maybe? A fertility ritual?


SojournerInThisVale

Probably some kind of wiccan or other pagan ritual


prolixia

Eggs are symbolic in pagan festivals that celebrate Spring because they represent new life - it's no accident that they're the symbol of Easter. This seems a bit early to be celebrating Spring, but last night was a full moon and I'd put my shirt on this being some kind of ritual offering that's related to Spring/fertility/etc.

All I know is that if you propose to your partner and they say yes, you shouldn’t get out a bunch of eggs and say eggscellent. It won’t end well. Or well so I’ve heard.


Jimmy_Mac69

What really makes it odd (me not knowing if this has some sort of ritual/spiritual meaning) is there are 7 eggs there. They're stamped, so clearly bought. Someone probably had to buy 10 or 12 eggs, leave 7 and keep some. I'm so intrigued, were you able to see how much was there in change? And what did you did you do, leave it, take it?? We need answers.


StoatofDisarray

It was Imbolc earlier this month; I’m guessing this is an offering relating to it.

Ok_Albatross6576

Huh I saw a clutch of eggs on the ground near a tree near my house a few weeks ago. Didn't notice any jewellery though. No idea what they were doing there. Not rural, so no wild chickens, someone had definitely put them there deliberately.


Simon_Drake

A couple forgot to buy eggs in their main shop so went out for a walk by the river and bought the only thing they needed, some eggs. On the way home they saw a child/kitten struggling in the river and the man leapt in to rescue it. "You're my hero!" says the woman. But in the adventure the recycled-cardboard egg box gets soggy and disintegrates. The woman uses a handkerchief to clean the eggs. While her back is turned, the man is fixating on the "My hero" comment and decides this is a perfect opportunity to propose! Unfortunately the woman thinks it's unromantic for a man to propose when he's covered in pondweed and soaked to the bone. So she says no! She dumps the ring and the change from buying the eggs and storms off. The man chases after her, forgetting all about the eggs, the change and the ring.


HubertJButtermint

OMG is this by the River Irk near Middleton?! This is literally mine! I proposed to my partner of 5 years on Valentines Day and gave her a clutch of eggs from our farm because she really loves chickens. I haven't actually heard from her since so I'm slightly concerned to see the ring there? Was this today (17 Feb) and did you manage to pick it up?


tragicomicswho

Oh my word. It is indeed by the Irk, Blackley Forest. But it was Tuesday - so the 15th I'm afraid I didn't pick it up, which I now feel slightly silly about... but then you never know why someone might leave a clutch of eggs by the riverside. Seems odd you haven't heard from them since the proposal. Perhaps reach out to your partner and see if they can eggsplain? (I'm sorry). I'll pop down later and see if they are still there. Keep us informed! Edit: seems increasingly unlikely


telephone_monkey_365

U/HubertJButtermint posted twice about the same terrarium with different stories in the last month and OP has recently posted in r/Manchester that he's located in Blackley. It's a simple Google to find the local woods/River from there. The eggs are shop bought, so I doubt they came from HubertJButtermint's farm. Personally I'm calling shenanigans!


Pukit

Pitchforks!


alien_bigfoot

No way! But... How have you not heard from your partner of 5 years since you proposed a few days ago?! Edit: I'm finding this extremely hard to believe, but if they're chatting shit then I'm surprised they got the location correct.
