Joseph Alanen (1885-1920), 'Ilmatar', 1913-1916 "In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, Ilmatar was a virgin spirit and goddess of the air. The name Ilmatar is derived from the Finnish word ilma, meaning "air," and the female suffix -tar, corresponding to English "-ress". Thus, her name means Airress. In the Kalevala she was also occasionally called Luonnotar, which means "female spirit of nature" (Finnish luonto, "nature").

She was impregnated by the sea and wind and thus became the mother of Väinämöine (..."a demigod, hero and the central character in Finnish folklore and the main character in the national epic Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot.")

I fucking love this painting. The Defense of the Sampo by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1896).

#Sorry to be inactive for over a month and just pop in to be like 'look at this Finnish epic poem painting' but #look at this Finnish epic poem painting #I really love the faces here and the patterning on the water + sky #Respect oldman fun pics

"Nevermore, old Väinämöinen, Nevermore in all thy life-time, While the golden moonlight glistens, Nevermore wilt fix thy vision On the meadows of Väinölä, On the plains of Kalevala; Full six years must swim the ocean, Tread the waves for seven summers, Eight years ride the foamy billows, In the broad expanse of water; Six long autumns as a fir-tree, Seven winters as a pebble; Eight long summers as an aspen!"

Satine is someone who visibly appreciates and invests in art and I was sort of assuming that her choice of dress just reflected that, and that it probably had it’s roots in Mandalorian civilian culture, ...but now I’m thinking it could be a traditional style of Kalevala. Tradition is important to her despite being a reformer, and her style has a slightly different vibe to the general architectural and artistic designs in Sundari and it’s fashions.

#satine kryze #i'm always something about her being from Kalevala. it feels deliberate but i don't know if it is #if i put mandos being based on vikings/nordics and her coming from a planet in the sector named for a finnish epic #am i reading too much into it if I sit here and think hmm sounds like Kalevala was a colony

anyway its 1am and im listening to old finnish power metal n wondering which ones of my ocs would be metal enjoyers

#old finnish power metal is so camp btw. but it slaps nonetheless #then again campiness is simply a characteristic of power metal in general i guess #anyway. goth bitches celyn and khaless would be nightwish fans. but only tarja turunen era nightwish fans #nessie would listen to stratovarius. eagleheart is her song i just decided #also through the fire and flames!!!!!! #she would love the campiest of camp power metal with lyrics abt epic quests n fighting evil n finding your strength n all that #idk much abt other metal subgenres but #i know gwynris would be a thrash metal gal. imagine the most aggressive thrash metal playing in the bg #as she uh. thrashes the battlefield. with her huge sword #also imagine children of bodom playing in the bg as liah does the same with her double bladed lightsaber #and momentarily taps into the dark side haha oops. totally did not mean to btw #oughhgh anyway i love metal #ch: celyn #ch: khaless #ch: nyiredines #ch: gwynris #ch: liah

I'm reconstructing my plan to illustrate the "Kalevala" epic, so here's a little spoiler with Joukahainen

/I want to warn you that when drawing characters from "Kalevala", I based on my impressions and fantasy, so they may not match with other artists/

Me and my classmate agreed that Lemminkäinen is an aromantic homophobic bisexual and Aino is sapphic
