"Odin isn't a god of mental health"

Sure, AND Sutekh isn't a patron of transgender otherness, but He is anyway because He's a god of OTHERNESS.

Gods don't have to follow rules mortals gave them.

I'VE EATEN LIKE FIVE ALREADY HELP i CAN'T STOP

When a coworker was worried about you missing work the night before due to a migraine, and she shows up on your doorstep at 10am with a batch of *HOMEMADE FUDGE COVERED OREOS*

Aphobes and truscum are NOT welcome on my timeline.

My bird has no patience today, either. He just bit me, HARD.

Love you, too, asshole.

I also have a migraine brewing and I really have no patience rn

I have worked retail so I GET working the CS desk, and Idgaf if people behind the desk do shit that isn't work, but if your attention span is SO BAD that you can't even LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER once every FIVE MINUTES to make sure you're not ignoring someone at the desk who's been standing there for TEN MINUTES, maybe, just MAYBE, you shouldn't be working the one place that requires a modicum of attention

Warm peppermint tea. Instant calm for a tantrum throwing stomach. 🍵🍵🍵🍵💚💚💚💚💚

Today I learned Belgian Shepherds exist and they look like the offspring of a Borzoi, a jackal and a wolf and I WANT ONE.

@Siphonay@octodon.social I've been working on Romanian, German and Spanish and idk, German is easier, but more people speak Spanish so it's like DILEMMA.

@troodon

I mean... eh?

@troodon My second pet is the white saurid with pink feathers =DD I named her after one of the headmates, Gina!

Tamed a ravasaur today while playing WOW and gosh he's such a cutie.

(Bless WoW for letting us buy game time with in game currency.)

Hell, I could easily say he's a messenger for the Wild Hunt, or that he's a Sin Eater, if I took from my Icelandic or Appalachian heritage.

It's easy to find things in your own culture and background to make something your own instead of taking from someone else and twisting it beyond the importance of the original entity.

Hell, Silviu is such a critter, but he's a Butyanesko, a Rromani guardian spirit who has become a Bengesko Wêrshgláta- a Damned Spirit Child of the Forest. He is bound to ME, who is diddikai and not full blooded Rromani, so he is not a full Butyanesko, but something else.

That's a cultural icon thing from the original Wendigo movie and it became a THING especially after Hannibal but calling those "Wendigo" is kind of insulting to the original legend and spiritual lesson.

There are other names to give your skull headed/antlered creatures.

I always get a little twitchy when people improperly appropriate Wendigo symbolism and legends.

Y'all know the Wendigo in the actual Ojibwe/Algonquin spiritual legend was NOT a deer skull headed monster, right?
