Lo, there do I see my father!
Lo, there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers!
There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning!
Lo, they do call to me!
They bid me welcome in the halls of Sessrumnir, where the brave may live forever!

Forgot to set alarm. This means I’m heading in later than usual, didn’t shave, and despite 8.75 hours of sleep am not rested.

Listening to Infected Mushroom again.

Uh #tmituesday?

this is a long shot, from Twitter;

I have really mixed feelings about fursuit sex.

I honestly think it's very hot, but the idea of having an active sex life IRL and all sorts of money to spend on an expensive costume to fuck in, plus *anything* about cons, really hits a lot of my issues about other people having fun exciting lives while I'm dirt poor and scrabbling.

It's like having a bucket of ice water with extra bleach poured over me in the shower.

oh you may think that's it's deluxe
to ride the elevator filled with bugs
but don't
Don't
Don't
DON'T
don't go in the basement
uh-uh!

He sees all! Knows all! He gets in everywhere
Now some night he might
Wait for you upon the stair
So if you're going to the cellar, walk about your toes
And if someone whistles, why that's Mysterious Mose

AND PRAY YOU NEVER MEET HIM IN ANY OF HIS OTHER THOUSAND FORMS
FOR HE IS NYARLATHOTEP
THE CRAWLING CHAOS

Making Christmas, making Christmas, la la la!
It's almost here and we can't wait
So drop your pants and masturbate
'Cause when the full moon starts to shine
We'll all sing out, it's Christmastime!

As predicted, Claire Wendling knows more about how animals fit together than I could imagine. She's just really incredible.

Finally I can go home and study Claire Wendling some more! I don’t think she’s a better artist than my other heroes (they’re all SO GOOD!) so much as for whatever reason I find her drawings easier to learn from.

Your coyote girlfriend is fucking ugly, fucking tired, and eating fucking breakfast because even I can’t go forever on a cup of coffee.

What I suspect but am not sure is that we’re seeing a relatively late and modernized gloss of vital folk beliefs, and that what people practiced in the 300s-400s when these bigger kingdoms come along, was different from what had evolved by the time of the Viking Age, and that Snorri and others are a further refinement of those later beliefs. I have some UPG about the myth of the Fenris Wolf which relates to that one.

I think what we get of Norse myth and belief is heavily filtered by time, place and population. A lot of what we get is medieval, Icelandic, male, upper class sources. There are a lot of Aesir and Vanir we barely know about, but they obviously must’ve been important to farmers, fishers and women (so practically everyone). I also think regional devotion to the disir was huge and largely lost.

Why are there *three* war/chief gods? Could that actually reflect regional cults?

Short version really. I like it a lot.

Delighted that Awoo is back!

I slept poorly last night, a lot of which is my bad late night reaction to some stress. I hope that if I go slow I can do today all right.

* very Keanu voice*

now they are ready to fight but in order t'lead them I must conquer the Worm. Conquer Shai-Hulud.

whoa!

oh yeah, it's the part of the Dune soundtrack when that dude is HELLA stoned.

Go below the anxious level of trying to tread water and make speed while things are gnarly and spiraling out of control, and you hit the level; this isn’t working, I need to recalibrate. Rethink. I feel like this should be familiar but I also have been really feeling this lately.

Also in the Marvel Universe eventually everyone winds up in the Avengers at some point. It’s like how everyone you meet has probably worked food services.

As soon as you have Cyclops join the Avengers or whatever you start getting more into having to acknowledge sweeping societal change rather than just having mutation be another reason for awesome space or inter dimensional spandex adventures (which tbh I’m a big fan of, there’s a lot of need for big flashy escapism without needing to tackle deeper themes).
