here's the mythological Norse sword: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrfing

for those of you wondering about the "Tyrfing" thing last night: it's a sword from Norse mythology, also something something Castlevania something Fire Emblem. I'm thinking of using it in my fic, but wanted to make sure I didn't immediately get flooded with "oh it's that one thing from $GAME!" associations, but it looks like it's obscure enough that I'm good. XD

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town

(tooting from bed shut up) does the word "Tyrfing" have any strong or immediate associations for you? (without looking it up)

tryina decide if it's sleeptime yet or not. thinking it is.

@Elizafox butterpats

@daggertooth@monsterpit.net @lizardsquid​@kara@occult.camp​ HOLY CRAP IT WORKED O_______O

@Elizafox oh definitely. stuff like giant earth pictograms would be *much* more common and widespread, as various cultures tried to get messages to the Moon God/dess of "HEY WE NEED $WEATHER HERE" or "HEY HELP US WIN THIS LOCAL WAR" or whatever. like, it'd be near universal.

oh you know about the samurai crab right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heikegani that kind of thing, but ALL OVER THE WORLD.

@Elizafox 1. it would be MEGACREEPY 2. but everybody would be completely used to it, culture would be built around it, and nobody would actually think it was creepy

I voted last week. VOTE BY MAIL, BABY, WOOOO!

and then tried to look up the election results today and realized *tomorrow* is "election day," I'm not sure quite how that works for an area that's gone entirely vote-by-mail--I guess they can't call it for sure until the last ballots have trickled in with the correct post-by date? iunno.
