They're going to be kits on the car and with a couple modifications the intake is going to be more or less a feature that's not real it'll bump out a little and will be what looks like a little vent we do have to make a special one it's like the intake on the front of the firebird but it's only going to be an inch wide and 8 in high that's one modification the rear will bump out more it's going to be low like this the rear end will mirror more so the Bradley GT when you make it round it slows it down it's got to be more straight on the lip is acceptable the rest of the Ring around looks good on the front end you need to have more air intake and one of the cows on the front not much bigger it has to be functional and you don't want it on the hood they go far too fast it rain in the air goes up and the rain goes right by and this is going to be very fast the base Volkswagen is 130 horsepower on this vehicle as you see it right here it will go 350 mph but that's without the dot exhaust that yeah the exhaust and it's 380 at if you add the top end kit it's 420 and it's a good number for people 380 is 380 is 2 and they say it if you go with the $150 horsepower because you have it the top speed is 590 and the exhaust it's 620 had the top end it's 680 and so on with our design if you make the rear flatter and you keep the design concept it looks cooler and it goes about 30 miles per hour and in each instance yet the top speed of the last one would be about 890 keep in mind it's zero clearance on the tires and rims and their wider here they're almost there are clearance and it doesn't look as good but people will take the mold from this and it's the right size and modify it and it is going to be awesome the kid will be named

"Stryker" GT and I'll have several model numbers for the kids there's two basic motors for the Volkswagens so for the 130 horsepower you'll have the striker GT 390 and the striker GT 480 that's what our design changes to this with a Volkswagen 150 horsepower you'll have the striker GT 490 and the striker GT 780 if you put it in LS1 V8 basic package will be the striker GT 1200 and that's what the Volkswagen chassis and later we might make one with the Corvette chassis the striker GT 2000 the last two for later on but the first up to the 150 horsepower Volkswagen will be right now and he wants us to produce them so people can copy them in the Midwest and these guys will fight over it and they'll have plants up and down open and closed and we're going to do that BG usually copies something

Thor Freya

So I see one blast by and I say great he looks back and says crake music doesn't really help me. He says you're scared a Mac-based camera on a phone and you can take pictures of high quality and fast ones and go ahead and do that. I'm waiting to see the prototype so I can copy it and it's a striker and it's named after the attack vehicle and he and she came up with this it's true and they said Brad's like striker frame and it's a warning so it should help get it get it going

Bg

She wanted us about the car and you won't answer about the machine but you're building both that's wonderful

Trump

We're going to order a whole bunch

...

This is not the Rodan but it's a good idea to get that up there on Saturday because we have all sorts of people interested and we're talking about our kit. There might be some other people doing it but we did say what it should look like and it's going to look awesome it's got to be a little bit lower he says even though you can reuse the interior LOL it's true too there's no real reason to change it looks fine you can some supercars are terrible on the inside

Thor Freya

This might actually do something this time and we're interested in it we know about the changes and why and we see how and did some front end we can look at and a rear end is that firebird look no it's the Bradley GT it does look a little cooler this looks a bit too much like the Ferrari but the front end looks like the Bradley future mid-engine and we might make a prototype it's going to be a kit with a frpr body and we're going to have to try and make it work I don't see why not this looks like it's doing nothing this tons of men good shape nobody wants to drive them and it is a symbol and we used to use it

Trump

We're going to go ahead and grab some of these and make them

Bja

People are full of s*** so we're going to parade one by was there expecting the Rodan and we're going to work on that but we're going to make this one and because they took his idea and his car and these guys start to make it they'll fight over it if we bring it up there even if we don't bring it to the building to the particular hotel specific name

Thor Freya

I think I can handle this and modify one of these Bradley GT it's really a dagger. They have a big engine in it it is mid-engine and I make the changes and the rear end is a little tougher but you have to mold it on it and then you make a mold and then you take the panel off I know how to do all that stuff and he wants me to do it and the front end too if he if I can get to it so it's a different car well we leave the hood in the wheel well look but the things should be zero radius and the way the wheels and tires are it won't work out but I can put something there a little bit and it'll look different and the interior I'm going to change back to the Bradley GT colors not the machine not the stuff and I want to make it real lightweight and you said you might come up if it's okay and it is okay it's very welcome and she wants to come too and help out and your offer stuff but we're going to do it my way because I know what I'm doing and what he says is we'll make the molds and we'll make the most of the rest of the car after if we don't have time and then we have the kit and I like it in pieces because it goes together and what you do is you paint it inside and out on the pieces and you join them and you put a seam system and then you paint the seam it works pretty good it tape everything off and these spray cans work real well you tell them how many coats and how far away to spray and let it dry and don't let it run if it runs you have to wipe it off all of it it's really easy and he wants to do it that way so we can send it in a smaller kit otherwise the things gigantic this new ways of seeming too clipped together worked okay but not real well it's kind of a draw system and it works and the frame is great I mean this is going to be nice we don't have to do that right now but that's a really good idea because you can send it separate and you don't have to have a welder's license or a machine to rent usually the dot won't allow you to and this will be bolted in the stitched and it would pass because you can get it approved we're going to work on that and I think lowering it now would be a little difficult but he wants a little lowered couple inches the roof and I agree it looks kind of silly no but it would look cooler and I might smoke all the windows and some other changes like an emblem for striker so I'm going to look that up and I'm going to make it real small that's what newbies do. My car looks a little like it and he says no it looks a little but it's more like the Pantera and it really is it is like Bradley in some angles but boy these cars change when you look at them at different angles I'm going to do this now and he's very thankful wonder if I can make it for Saturday I think so I'm going to get some teams on it too to get parts and stuff right now and she wants to spoilers to get over there at some point in time and they will today

Salazar and Goddess wife

Before he had Enzo and someone else helping now it's different and this is the way to do it it's really great it means they want to now and it's time and it says we have to beat the snooker out of them to get anything to go and so they get that and Thor and Freya have it the idea now we got to keep it going and increase the effort but I do like this idea I'm going to go out there and help out I think it's great and he wants our father and mother to drive through and they've been doing that to us and saying all sorts of things in Spain and it makes sense and we're going to perform teams form teams in the sky Trump is going to go down from this

Savage opress

This little Hammer him flat on positive he doesn't want anybody copying his supposed car it's not his I can't stand it don't show up with a Chrysler to be the competition for Christ's sake that's kind of funny though. I got to give you a hand I do understand what you're saying but really it's going to be a kit car at first. We're going to go find the name emblem design and I know what it is but this is going to be great I can't wait

Salazar and Goddess wife

Olympus

I'm really excited I can't wait I'm going to get out there too but I want them to get going and he says he's going to and he believes in his really awesome it's because of this idiot showing up every day smelling and looking like a bum and then telling us off he has support in doing it and he is a terrorist in his country and so it's not heated up nicely we're going to have to form defenses and the pseudo empires there and we have to bolster it

Thor Freya

You cannot rely on the empire for anything until they're not autonomous anymore and then they're going to be a dangerous opponent I'm going to take those very seriously now this is a good way to look at it to get a sounding and that's what I say look at it but there's going to be a lot of help for this and it already sending battalions and I hear it too in battle groups we're going to move on this it's on our radio

Salazar and Goddess wife

This is awesome idea we're thinking about it and we love it and we're glad you took interest in your helping to save the car who's bastardizing it and they do it to everything and he's being a complete a****** to my husband it was too young for this kind of berating he just keep saying that's way way past it he'll be fine he says because they do it so much it's just kind of a joke but really it's not a joke to others and it's harassment and he's there screwing around with people and they don't do anything but we will and we need all sorts of stuff and they have it this is a great opportunity for all of us to get up there and the super cars of our fathers and mothers that they help designer there and they're going to see this which is a different way to do it because we're here and we're seeing it it is slightly different and we're out in the open and it's going to be a kit car it won't be really by us but people will see it and know how to build it and it's our car and we'll eventually we'll be ours whole and it's about the striker a military vehicle that's used against foreigners usually and we want to control it and then it'll be cold and they're going to work on the code and see what color and work with Salazar and goddess wife and others but mostly him and she and the other family my side to make sure we have the code right

Hera

I'm getting excited this is very huge for us it's a very huge thing my car out of the desert in the movie and playing it was very huge back then but now this is definitely my size and it's Robert Gibraltar stuff and he says it really is because of the future and we need it too we need this car we need to drive around some like this cuz we can make it go fast very fast and I do hear his voice

Frisii

This is a rewritten post on the Frisii tribe, my previous post is over a year old so I wanted to update it by adding more information.

The Frisii were a Germanic tribe who lived above the Rhine in areas that are now known as modern day Noord-Holland, Friesland, Groningen, the Wadden islands in the Netherlands and East-Frisia in Germany. They should not be confused with the Frisians, a tribe which settled in the same area at a later time period, The Frisians and Frisii are however not completely foreign to each other, some Frisii stayed behind and were absorbed by the Frisians, the oldest still existing Germanic culture. The Frisii were neighboured by the Cananefates to the south and Chauci to the east, the west and north were part of the north sea.

The meaning of their name is derived from the Proto-Germanic word 'frisaz' which means 'curly'. There is a common misunderstanding that the word Frisii, and the later Frisian, comes from the word freeze/vriezen or freedom but this is not correct although understandably a good possible meaning.

The origins of the Frisii is still a bit unclear but there are viable theories. Unlike other tribes, like the Chatti, Lombards, Batavi, Cananefates etc.. who all migrated southwards and settled in their territories around 100BC, the Frisii are a lot older. In fact we do not know how old exactly they are but there are several theories:

The most likely theory is that the early Frisii, also called Proto-Frisians, migrated southwards from northern Germany and Denmark around 1000BC. Somewhere around 700BC they migrated from modern day Drenthe towards modern day Friesland, Groningen and Noord-Holland. There is however a more controversial theory that suggests the birth of the Frisii started with their patron-mother the Goddess Freya.

According to this theory a line of matriarchal rulers, known as folk mothers, were descendants of Freya herself and responsible for the creation of the Frisii, this would mean that the origin of the tribe is not around 700BC but around 2200BC. Here is a line of Frisii folk mothers starting with the Goddess Freya: Freya - somewhere around 2000BC Fasta, Medea, Thiania, Hellenia, Minna, Rosamond, Hellicht, Frana, Adela and Gosa. Of course if there was a continuous matriarchal line for about 1500 years long, this would include many more names but those are lost in time. This theory is based on the information found in the Oera Linda book, a highly disputed manuscript worthy of its own post so I will write about it in the near future.  An altar stone has been found near modern day Xanten however with the following description: "MATRIBUS FRISAVIS PATERNIS" which could refer to these ancient Frisii matriarchs making the Oera Linda book theory possible.

By 100BC the Frisii were quite a large and powerful tribe who had established themselves fully in their current territory. Their first encounter with the Roman empire was around 12BC when Drusus Germanicus, one of Rome's most succesful generals, invaded Germania with the intention to turn the land into a province of Rome.

Drusus Germanicus, not to be confused with the other Roman general called Germanicus, was incredibly succesful with his invasion. He subjugated every Germanic tribe in his path including the Frisii who were forced to be allies of Rome. The Romans also built a fort, their most northern one, at modern day Velsen to keep an eye on the Frisii. It is likely that all of Germania would have become a Roman province if Germanicus didn't die after a fall from his horse in 9BC.

The Frisii delivered auxiliary troops to Rome and they had to pay taxes which led to high tensions between the tribe and Rome. The taxes were incredibly unfair as the Romans demanded large skins of cows which did not even exist in Frisii territory, they only had a small breed of cows. This rising tension eventually led to the Frisii revolting against Rome in 28AD. The Frisii hung Roman tax collectors which infuriated Rome.

Olennius, a Roman centurion in charge of Frisii administration, escaped the lynching party and hid himself at Castellum Flevum, the most northern fort the Romans ever built. The Frisii however marched onwards to this fort but were unable to capture it, archeological research shows traces of heavy fighting at this fort. The Frisii retreated back towards their sacred grove dedicated to their Goddess of war, Baduhenna, luring the Romans with them.

The Romans chased the Frisii right into the sacred grove. This was however a dreadful decision since the Frisii knew their swampy estuary terrain very well and were extra motivated by being in the presence of their battle Goddess. Almost all of the Romans were slaughtered, 900 of them, some according to legends, were captured and sacrificed to Baduhenna right in her grove. Another 400 Roman soldiers killed each other out fear of treachery, the event has been quoted by Tacitus:

"Soon afterwards it was ascertained from deserters that nine hundred Romans had been cut to pieces in a wood called Baduhenna, after prolonging the fight to the next day, and that another body of four hundred, which had taken possession of the house of one Cruptorix, once a soldier in our pay, fearing betrayal, had perished by mutual slaughter." - Tacitus

The Frisii name thus became famous in Germania and Roman emperor Tiberius tried to keep the Roman defeat a secret, not wishing to entrust anyone with the war because of the shame. The Roman fort in modern day Noord-Holland was abandoned after the revolt and the Frisii became free people once again and remained so until the medieval ages.

The earliest known written record that we have about the Frisii comes from a Roman poet Albinovanus Pedo. In one of his poems, he describes a disaster that occured during Germanicus' campaigns to avenge the Teutoburgerwald battle. This disaster took place around the Eems river in Frisii territory around 16AD and involves a storm destroying parts of his fleet:

"For a long time they had left the day and the sunlight behind them, for a long time they looked exiles from the well known part of the world, who had dared to go through forbidden darkness to the boundaries of nature and the furthest coast of the earth.

From here they saw him, the sea, carrying huge monsters under slow waves with rising wild whales and the dogs of the sea on all sides grabbing ships. The fleet was already in the mud, left behind by a rapid storm. They believed that their unfortunate fate was to be torn apart by these wild sea monsters.

The world was robbed, nothing could be distinguished, his breath was taken from him, and thus he spoke from his heart: Where do we end up? The day itself is fleeing and nature closes the rest of the world with eternal darkness. Do we sometimes look for people untouched by wars? The gods call us back, forbid that mortal eyes see the end of everything. Why do we violate a strange and consecrated sea with oars? Why do we disturb the silent dwellings of the gods?" - Albinovadus Pedo

The next written mention is quite an interesting one. It involves a dispute about land on the Roman border area. Two Frisii leaders, Verritus and Malorix decided to travel to Rome in 58AD and defend their case about this piece of land. During their stay in Rome, they amused the Romans greatly by refusing to sit down amongst the common people in a theater exclaiming that: "No people can match the Germanics in loyalty and bravery!" They then proceeded sitting down next to the Roman senators present in the theater. The Roman emperor, Nero, found the whole event quite amusing himself and granted Verritus and Malorix roman citizenship. This account, described by Tacitus, is also the first account of foreign tourists visiting Rome who were mentioned by name.

In 69AD, during a particulary tough year for the Romans, the Batavi revolted against the Roman empire. The Frisii joined this revolt which was initially quite succesful. Unfortunately the revolt was put down by the Romans the following year, resulting in severe trust issues between the Romans and the Batavi and Cananefates.

By 98AD Tacitus published his work 'Germania' and also provices us with a small description on the Frisii. He separated the tribe in two parts, the Frisii Maiores and the Frisii Minores. The Minores lived in what is now Noord-Holland and the Maiores lived in what is now Frisia and Groningen. Here is a description on the Frisii landscape:

"The terrain is fierce, the climate is rough, life and landscape are bleak. You only come here if it's your homeland." - Tacitus

No significant recorded events exist after 98AD, the history on the Frisii between 100AD-300AD is pretty much unknown. We do know that parts of the Frisii joined the Cananefaat pirate/proto-viking Gannascus in his raids on several settlements, mainly in Gaul. These attacks infuriated Rome and led to improved defenses being built by them. Gannascus is eventually assassinated by the Romans under the pretence of a negotiation which caused great outrage amongst the Chauci, Frisii and Cananefates. The Roman emperor of that time, Claudius, feared a violent conflict with these tribes and withdrew Roman forces from the Rhine in order to ease tensions.

Around 300AD the Saxon confederation came into existence and bordered the Frisii directly to the east. The Western Roman empire started to decline rapidly during this time period as well leaving the borders vulnerable for invasions. With the Huns invading Europe, economic hardship, climate change, failed harvests and empty Roman borders, came the great migration. Many Frisii migrated either southwards to become absorbed by the Franks or to the west by invading Britannia together with the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. Only very few Frisii remained in their original homeland, we have archeological evidence that some did indeed stay.

Frisii lands were now almost completely deserted until the arrival of Saxons and Jutes who settled the area together with the few remaining Frisii. These new settlers started to call themselves Frisians, after the ancient Frisii. The Frisians still exist until this day and they have a rich history which deserves a post of its own, which will be coming very soon.

The last thing I want to mention is the auxiliary troops that the Frisii supplied Rome with. The Notitia Dignitatum, a Roman document that describes details of the administrative organisation of the empire, mentions a Frisii cohort stationed at Vindobala, a fort located at Hadrian's wall. This entry 'Tribunes cohortis primae Frixagorum Vindobala' however contains a possible spelling mistake, Frixagorum instead of Frisiavonum. This entry might however also refer to the Frisiavones tribe unrelated to the Frisii.

Here are images of: A map showing the location of the Frisii, A reconstruction of Castellum Flevum, A depiction of the Frisii fighting Romans by an unknown artist, A reconstruction of a Frisii fortification, A small piece of a Roman helmet, bottom left, found at Velsen where once the Castellum Flevum stood which was attacked by the Frisii, A depiction of the Goddess Freyja, the ancestral mother of the Frisii, from 1874,

Prompt 1: winning a teddy for the other

graphic by the author with @ourdiningroom​

1065 AD

It had been a terrible day. 

First, Thor had stolen all of the hveteboller at breakfast, leaving Loki with nothing but eggs and apples (which were wholesome food, but boring, boring, boring). Then Thor had won every single foot race, no matter what fearsome illusion Loki had created to distract him. Either Thor was getting better at telling fantasy from reality, or he was so stupidly brave that he didn’t care when an undead draugar was in his path. Loki clearly needed more practice with his illusions. 

The final straw had been after luncheon, when Thor had run off with his friends to explore the forest at the foot of the mountains. Loki had been right behind them, only stopping into his room for a few essentials (a book to read, and a book to take notes in, and another book in case he finished the first one). But by the time he’d reached the courtyard, they’d been gone. 

“Stupid Thor,” Loki muttered as he wandered through the forest alone. “I hope he falls into a cave, and the Jörmungandr gets him, and we never see him again.”

Nightfall was coming fast. Loki would be in the worst kind of trouble if he did not return to the castle before then. He continued along the forest path anyway. What did it matter if he were sent to his room without dinner when he returned? It wasn’t as if anyone would miss him.

The path he was following took a sharp curve, ending at the base of a mighty elder tree. The wide trunk was covered with branches, perfectly spaced for climbing. Loki eagerly started up the tree. For a time, the irritations of the day faded as he simply enjoyed the feeling of being young and agile.

He was halfway up the tree when he caught sight of a long white skirt above him. The girl wearing it was clinging to the tree trunk, her face pressed against the wood. He tilted his head, studying her, then scurried up the tree until he was level with her.

“Are you a huldra?” he asked, more curious than wary. Maybe her tail was hidden underneath her skirt.

“No.” Her voice was tense and quiet.

“Then what are you doing up here? This is a terrible place for a nap.”

She lifted her head off the tree trunk to glare at him. “I’m not sleeping.”

He would have teased her further, but he was completely distracted by her dark blue skin. “A Jotun! How did you—you shouldn’t be here.”

“I have as much right to be here as anybody else. Are you the king that you order people about so?”

Loki was not afraid of monsters. He narrowed his eyes at the Jotun girl. “I may not be the king, but I am his son. I’ll order anyone I like.”

“You’re small for a prince.”

That was funny, coming from a Frost Giant shorter than he was. “And you’re small for a Jotun.”

“Just leave me alone.”

He grinned as she looked away from his glare. He could outstare anyone. Except father.

“No. Not until you tell me what you’re doing here.”

She huffed in exasperation. “If you must know, I’m trying to rescue my little sister’s stuffed dreki. An Imp thought it would be funny to steal it and leave it at the top of a tree in Asgard. I wouldn’t have come after it, but it’s her favorite toy, and she won’t go to sleep without it.”

Loki glanced upwards. The dreki was dangling from a branch by its twisted tail several feet above them.

“It’s right there,” he said, pointing. “If that’s all you’ve come for, take it and go.”

“I can’t,” she hissed through her teeth.

What a strange girl. “Of course you can. Just go and get it.”

The girl mumbled something he couldn’t make out.

“What was that? Speak up when you talk to royalty.”

“I said I’m afraid of heights. I’m…stuck.”

Loki laughed. How could anyone be afraid of heights? “Is that all? There’s nothing to be afraid of. Look!”

He swung himself from one tree branch to the other, climbing the tree effortlessly. The Jotun girl gasped, which only encouraged him to move more recklessly. With a final jump, he had the dreki in his hand. Then he was swinging back down to where the girl still clung to the tree.

“There’s nothing to fear. I’ve got your sister’s toy,” he said.

“I—“ she began in a shaky voice.

There was no sense in letting her talk herself into more fear. Loki looked her square in the eye, then blinked in surprise.

“You’re eyes—they’re brown. I thought Jotun eyes were red,” he said.

“Our eyes are all different colors. They only turn red when we’re fighting,” she explained. “Everybody knows that.”

He filed this information away in case it proved useful later. “We’re not that far from the bottom. Keep your eyes on me. We’ll climb down together.”

She seemed conflicted, but there was no other choice. Loki kept the pace slow and steady as they worked their way down the trunk. She did not look away from him once.

“I didn’t know Jotuns had toys,” he said. Talking would keep her mind too busy for fear.

“Why wouldn’t we? Don’t Asgardians have toys?” she replied.

“Of course! We have the best toys in the Nine Realms. Do you have books too?”

The fear in her eyes was turning into annoyance. Good. Anger was better than fear.

“Yes, what a question,” she said.

“I beg your pardon, Maid of Jotunheim. According to our history your Realm is somewhat…unrefined.”

“Unrefined?” Her brown eyes flashed golden. “We’re just as good as any of the other Realms. Just because Asgard doesn’t know our ways doesn’t make them unrefined. Why—“

“We’ve reached the ground,” Loki said, cutting of her ranting. “Your eyes change color when you’re angry, did you know?”

He held the dreki out to her, hardly able to contain his laughter. She was angry with him but, as he’d rescued both her sister’s toy and her own self from the tree, she could hardly own it. Without a word, she snatched the dreki and started hurrying off into the forest.

“Maid of Jotunheim, aren’t you going to thank me?” he called after her.

She paused in her flight and turned back to him, her manners as pretty as any Asgardian courtier. “Thank you, Your Highness. I am in your debt.”

“Then give me your name, that I will know from whom to collect it.”

Her anger flared back to life; her golden eyes and dark red hair were fire against the deep blue of her skin.

“My name is Angrboda Galarrsdatter,” she said fiercely.

“And mine is Loki Odinson. Good day to you, Angrboda. I won’t forget.”

She growled as she whirled away from him and ran into the forest. He watched her until he could no longer see the white of her dress or the red of her hair. Then he started back towards the palace, whistling his victory to the night birds as he went.

End Notes:

Hveteboller: Norwegian cardamom sweet buns.

The elder tree is associated with Freya, the Norse goddess of love.

Draugar are something like zombies.

The Jörmungandr, or the Midgard Serpent, is an giant snake.

Huldra are forest spirits with cow’s tails.

Dreki: dragon

In Norse Mythology, Angrboda is Loki’s Jotun wife. For the purposes of this fic, Jotuns are not monsters (whatever the Asgardians say they are).

FRUITS OF OUR CULTURE: STRAWBERRIES

For me and many brits like me, I associate strawberries with summer, so the first symbol that came to mind was of strawberries and cream in Wimbledon. So, she wears a polo shirt, ponytail, and a visor with the ‘Strawberry Letter’ 23. 

Compared to the other ‘main’ fruits like apples and oranges, I couldn’t think of many associations off the top of my head, so I turned to the internet.

Throughout history, strawberries have remained a symbol of sweetness and goodness.  In ancient Nordic culture, the spirits of dead babies grew into strawberries, as which they would be disguised from darkness as they ascended to heaven. So, the berries were often not eaten.. Strawberries were a gift from Freya/Frigga, who was a goddess of many things, including beauty, love and fertility, and cried tears of gold. Upon the transition to Christianity, it was Mary who was adopted the association with strawberries. She was said to love them so much that anyone who entered the gates of heaven with strawberry juice on their lips would be turned away. 

In Shakespeare’s Othello, the handkerchief of Desdemona (who is first epitomised as sweetness itself, so that her character may be besmirched) is embroidered with patterns of strawberry plants. It later is spotted with red blood in her murder.

In Bavarian folk tradition, strawberries were gathered and hung in baskets from the horns of cows to ask local nature spirits for healthy calves, and strawberry leaves in a woman’s pocket would help relieve the pains of pregnancy. The Romans believed strawberries alleviated misery. The Seneca people of the northeastern US associated the fruit with rebirth, and believed they grew along the path to heaven.

Strawberries were a symbol of Aphrodite also, and they remain a ‘sexy’ fruit, usually when with chocolate. Folklore says that those who share a strawberry will fall in love.

 However, during the middle ages, the berries were eschewed by the upper classes after an abbess declared that they were not fit for eating, because they were close to the ground where toads and snakes did slither. 

 Strawberries have remained an icon of sweetness, EG, Strawberry Shortcake (or her cat, as featured her), and as such are open to be subverted, as by Strawberry Switchblade.

The Strawberry Moon is the name given long ago to the full moon of June, since this was the time of year that wild strawberries fruited.

Her tattoos feature some weird strawberry worship from Hieronymous Bosch’s ‘Garden of Earthy Delights’, and of the Beatles, plus the original ‘Strawberry Hill’ signage.

     The Wiccan Triple Goddess  

The Goddess represents the feminine, nurturing side of Deity -intuitive, creative, and magical. She is the inner nature of Deity -the origin of the external Universe.

Thus the Goddess is the Creator, the Source - the God emerges from Her, when She sets the Universe into motion. The God is the Goddess’ Divine Child, formed from Her inner nature, Her “Other Self” as the Vangelo delle Streghe puts it. The God is also the Divine Consort, Whose union with the Goddess describes existence as we know it.

In this sense, the Goddess and the God are the polar forces also termed Yin and Yang. Yin, the Feminine, spiritual, emotive aspect of Deity which is within all things and Whose presence gives all things life. Yang the Masculine, physical, volatile aspect of Deity which manifests in motion and action and Whose permutations build up the outer form of things.

In Wicca, the Goddess is primarily revered through Her form as the Triple Goddess. As the God is often represented by the Sun, the Goddess is often represented by the Moon, and its three phases are taken as instructive as to the nature of Her being; the Waxing Moon representing creation and inspiration, embodied in the Maiden Goddess. The Full Moon representing fruition and sustenance, embodied in the Mother Goddess. And the Waning Moon representing fulfilment and endings embodied in the Crone Goddess.

THE MAIDEN

The Maiden is the Young Goddess of Spring and new beginnings. She is the Goddess of the Dawn, of youthfulness, the anticipation of life and fresh potential. The Maiden is the Goddess of art, creativity and self-expression of beauty, intelligence, and skill. The Maiden is manifest in action and self-confidence, exploration and discovery.  She is sometimes called the Virgin.  The term virgin in this instance does not mean physical virginity, it means that the young Goddess is independent - She is responsible for Her own actions, She knows who She is and does not answer to anyone but Herself.  The Maiden is aware of Her sexuality and can either hold it at bay or abandon Herself to it.   As the Huntress and Mistress of the Woodlands, She is both a friend and companion to all young creatures and a skilled hunter.  She is the armed keeper of the Universal Laws of Balance and can mete out punishment swiftly and dispassionately if needed.  

You may experience the Goddess in Her form as Maiden when you look upon a newborn child or experience a beautiful sunset. She is the continuation of all life, gifting us with the ability to find delight in the simple pleasures of the world – a butterfly in summer, sunlight on water, the stillness of a forest – all are within the realm of the Maiden Goddess. The Maiden’s magick is strongly connected to Nature and natural magick; She can inspire you with new ideas or lead you along a path that is new to you. She can give you a fresh new way to look at something. The Maiden may make Her presence known to you mentally without warning when you least expect it.  She shows us the way to spiritual centeredness, running ahead of us enticing us to follow Her down the path that we fear the most -  the way that leads us through the labyrinth of our minds into our own subconsciousness.  

The Waxing Moon is the Maiden's Moon.  Her colours are white and pink symbolic of innocence and newness.  The Maiden loves wild flowers especially white ones. The Maiden's animals are all wild animals, especially the Owl and the Deer.

Maiden Goddesses:

Artemis -  (Greek) eternal Virgin Goddess, Lady of the forests and hunting, and also of birth.

Blodewedd - (Celtic) This Spring Goddess was created by magic from nine spring flowers to be the wife of Llew Llaw. This got around the curse Arianhod had placed upon her son preventing him from taking a human wife.

Brigid - (Celtic) In her maiden aspect this Goddess is honoured at the festival of Imbolc which celebrates the first stirrings of Spring.

Chalchihuitlicue - Wife of Tlaloc, the God of Rains for the Aztec, was called the Precious Jeweled Lady, and had in her aspects associated with the Maiden like flowers, spring and the beauty of youth.

Diana -  (Roman) Goddess of the Crescent Moon and the Hunt.  She is the virgin Goddess of childbirth and women. Oak groves are sacred to Diana.

Flora - (Roman) The Goddess of flowering plants, especially those that bore fruit. Her festival, the Floralia, took place in April or early May and was marked with dancing, drinking, and flowers.

Freya - (Nordic) This Nordic fertility Goddess is linked with spring growth and flowers.

Hebe - (Greek) The Goddess of eternal youth and Spring.

Kore - (Greek) Kore is an alternative name for the Greek Goddess Persephone.

Ostara - (Celtic) Painted eggs and white rabbits are sacred to Ostara, the Celtic Goddess of Spring, fertility and rebirth. Her symbols have been incorporated into the Christian celebration of Easter.

Ninniane - Also called Nimue, in the Arthurian myth. She was Merlin's protege and was courted by him. Nimue locked Merlin in a cave to ward off his constant advances.

Parvati - (Hindu)  Maiden of affirmations and love, She became Shiva's, the Lord of Destruction, mate.

Persephone or  Proserpina - Persephone means maiden. She was the daughter of Demeter, who was kidnapped by Hades and reigns with him in the Underworld, for the dark half of the year.  Spring arrives when Persephone leaves Hades and joins her Mother.

Rhiannon - (Celtic) Maiden who is the "Divine Queen of the Faeries".  She is a Goddess of movement and change, who remains steadfast and comforting in times of crisis and loss.

THE MOTHER

The Mother aspect of the Triple Goddess is perhaps the easiest for humans to understand and identify with.  The image of the physical mother caring for, nurturing, protecting and loving her children is easily translated to the Mother Goddess. She is associated with confident adulthood and parenthood, She is summertime and the ripening of crops, She is procreation of all things earthly and universal, She is the highest point of all cycles and the sustainer of the Universe. She is the fullness of life, She turns the Wheel of all the seasons, and is the repository of all knowledge. She is the Earth Mother and the Sky Mother who walks beside us into the Labyrinth of Mysteries. The Universe is Her child and She loves and cares for it, providing it with inexhaustible resources from within Herself, even as a mother nurses Her infant from the milk of her breasts.

Her colour is red, the colour of blood and the life-force that courses through us all.  Her season is summer and Her Moon is Full. Her symbol is the Cauldron, the churning pot of regeneration. The Mother Goddess rules the Sabbats of Beltane, Litha and Lammas.  She shares Winter Solstice with the Maiden and the Crone.

The Mother Goddess teaches us to accept responsibility and to understand the consequences of our own actions. She will guide us towards self-discipline and patience, so that we may grow spiritually into balanced adulthood. She teaches us to reach out to others with loving energy, and to spiral into our Divine centre to both give and receive love. All acts of love are Her rituals. She does not want us to live lives filled with deprivation or chained to addictions, excesses or other forms of self- harm. The Mother Goddess actively works magick to bring us into harmony, happiness and freedom. Just like a human Mother, she wants the very best for us and will help us.  All we need to do is reach out to Her. The Mother Goddess nurtures all creation and is filled with love for all, yet, like a real mother, She will not hesitate to mete out discipline when necessary. Work against Her laws of Universal balance, portray yourself as one who has all the answers or is spiritually enlightened without having done the background work of self-discipline, self- understanding, and responsibility, and She will bring you back to reality!

Mother Goddess magick is most powerful at the Full Moon. Call upon Her for spells involving fruition, protection, healing, protection, guidance, marriage or life partners, gardening, animals, choices, peace, psychic direction and spiritual awakening.

She is the Keeper of the Akashic Records, which are the details of our past lives.  Her guidance through trance work and the spirit world can lead us to past life memories so that we may focus our energies into learning the lessons of this life before passing into the next one. The Crone dispenses justice with love and sorrow, keeping the balance and upholding the laws. To have a relationship with the Crone you must seek Her out. She will offer you a comforting hand when, as with all living things, we must face the death of a loved one or the ending of our own life. She will bring to you the deep understanding that death is the necessary phase that must happen before rebirth.

Crone Goddess magick is most powerful at the Dark Moon. Call upon Her for spells involving harvesting, resting, past life meditations and pathworking, endings, ageing, divorce, rest, retribution, death, protection from physical or psychic attacks, trance work to communicate with the Spirit world.

Rising Sun (part 2)

Prince!Kirishima x princess!reader

Warnings: swearing I think?

A/N: I finally got some ideas of where I want this to go! I edited the first part to have Mina be your old friend back home because I’d like to add more BNHA characters to this. Also Kirishima is gonna come off ooc but I gotta let you know that beneath his facade he’s still our Grade A Best Boy. Anyways here’s part 2!

Part 1

You awaken to the clanking of glass against the side table nearest to the bed. You stretch your body and enjoy the feeling of the freshly clean sheets against your skin. You’re still in the gown you had out on the night before and you hoped that meant that nothing troublesome happened. You open your eyes and watch a beautiful woman with bright red hair pouring water into a crystal glass. You’re thankful it’s not Anaya but you don’t expect this girl to be any less nasty.

“Water, miss?” She offers you the glass and you take it, realizing you had a pulsing headache. You really went heavy with your marital wine drinking.

She sits with you on the bed, keeping her back straight, and watches you finish your glass. She takes it back and says, “the prince told me to speak softly to you since you had a rough night but I do want to inform you that breakfast is being served now. Food from your kingdom to make you feel more at home. I must admit I did sneak a few bites of the potato hash and it really is quite delightful,” she sends you a soft smile. Maybe not everyone from this kingdom was horrible. “If you want I can help you find the dining hall after dressing you, if you don’t mind.”

You gaze down to the red silken gown you wore to bed. For something that was supposed to be worn to please its viewer it was incredibly comfortable. You smile at the thought of what the people in the temple might think if you went down dressed as you were. Maybe they’d send you home.

This is your home now, you have to tell yourself. You nod and allow the woman to escort you out of bed. Back at your old home, Mina, your chambermaid and friend, would swing pillows at your face and yell at you for sleeping the day away. You would laugh and hit her back. You were going to miss her terribly.

The woman who you learned her name as, Freya, helps slips yet another form fitting gown on. It’s white and shows off your bare shoulders while the sleeves have slits, while the rest of the gown flows freely down to your feet. Draconians’ attire consists usually of skin revealing uniforms since the kingdom was the warmest of them all and you were grateful to be put in something a little more tasteful. Maybe tasteful wasn’t the right word seeing as you were from a completely different world and you haven’t quite felt at home with their customs but you were content with with being comfortable.

Prince Eijirou stands before you are seated to his right. He offers you a kind smile and you bow respectfully at him. The long dining hall table is adorned with the finest morning foods your own kingdom had to offer. It was a kind gesture but nothing you should get used to. The room is lit up only by a few torches but the giant windows that showed off the rolling hills and tropical greenery brings more than enough light in.

When you sit Eijirou places a hand on your arm. His touch is warm and inviting and remember the way he made you feel last night before you… before…

You turn to him and he’s watching you. “Prince Eijirou,” he frowns slightly at your formality, “About last night…?”

“I put you to be bed,” he whispers back to you. He leans in close so the servers around you couldn’t eavesdrop, “no harm will come to you as long as you are in my temple. Especially not from me.”

You are flooded with relief. You didn’t feel like anything happened but you had to make sure. The man before you was your husband but you didn’t know anything about him, besides what you heard from a certain blue haired somebody who just glided into the room.

“Speaking of which,” he stands and everyone around him besides Anaya freezes. “Anaya,” he addresses her and she salutes him by putting her fist to your chest.

Hisses and growls escape her mouth and you can only assume she’s greeting him in Draconic.

“I’d like to have a word with you and I would hope to have it in the tongue that all parties can understand.”

Back home, ‘having a word’ meant taking someone aside and speaking to them one on one. You furrow your brow and watch Anaya send you a glare before turning her attention back to the prince.

“It seems that last night you did not fulfil your duties in tending to my bride.”

Anaya crosses her arms across her chest and sneers, “she told me she could handle it on her own.”

“And was that before or after you threatened her?”

Anaya raises her eyebrows. “I did no ssuch thing! I wass only giving her fair advice!” She shoots another glare your way.

“Was the advice warranted?” He waits for her to respond and it seems like she doesn’t understand the question. Eijirou begins to speak to her in draconic, his tone only seeming more dangerous through the rolling of his tongue and his growls. She hisses back and throws gestures into the air. She flinches only when he stomps his foot the ground. The table shakes.

“I see then… since you have such a narrow and tainted mindset I can only see you as being a threat to this kingdom and I have it in my right mind to banish you,” a hush falls across the dining hall. You watch Anaya’s face contort from fury to terror. The king himself walks into the room and crosses his arms, observing his son. Much like the prince, he displays his bare muscular torso with only an opened vest over his frame. He looks very much like Eijirou but with long wavy black hair that falls beneath his shoulders and many more scars, no doubt from fighting in many battles. He nods for the prince to continue.

“But I am putting your fate into my bride’s hands.”

Your eyes widen. You’re doing what?

Eijirou turns to you, “it’s your decision, Princess Y/N. We can have her banished for the crimes committed against you or we can let her stay.”

Beg pardon, your majesty? You don’t realize your mouth fell open until Anaya scoffs. Eijirou shoots her a look and she dismisses the ugly look on her face. You knew that one day you were going to have to make big decisions like these, at least for your kingdom. Hell, this didn’t seem all that big compared to the declarations of war your father signed your kingdom into. You didn’t think that Anaya had gone as far as committing any crimes against you, though you didn’t like her the second she opened her mouth.

You remember telling your father that when you were going to be queen you, were going to be a kind and forgiving one. He said that’s not what your kingdom needed. He ruled with an iron fist and you were to follow in his footsteps. That was of course, before losing so many good people, even your friends, in battle.

You bow your head, “let her stay.”

Anaya brings a shaking hand to her mouth and she cries out. You think she’s upset but she then she salutes you.

Eijirou doesn’t change his tone as he speaks to her. “Be grateful that you’re future queen is far more forgiving than I am. Let this be a warning: if you ever come near my princess again with malicious intent, I will not hesitate to have you take your leave by tying you to a barrel and having you float your way to exile.”

You shudder at his threat that felt more like a promise. Maybe Eijirou was a brute.

Anaya excuses herself and you watch the king leave. Eijirou sits back down. The servants around you avoid talking and Eijirou starts tapping on the table. He lets out a shaky breath.

“Thank you,” he says. You look to him and he’s staring at his full plate. “I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted her banished but I’m glad you said not to.”

You don’t know what to say. You begin turning your glass full of what you think is pineapple juice, a fruit only found in this kingdom. “I believe empathy can go a long way. Carrying an open heart can only open the hearts of those who surround you,” that was something your mother used to say to you. You pick up your glass and take a sip. Definitely pineapple juice. You are thankful for such a delicacy.

“That’s why you’re going to be an incredible queen,” he turns to you, “but if Anaya ever bothers you again just call her a nurh-rhyvos-maurg.” That was a mouthful.

“What does that mean?” You take another sip of your juice.

“Ugly cow breed.”

You spit the pineapple juice back into the cup and cover your mouth. Eijirou’s crimson eyes shine at you, happy to see you laugh. “So she has a sense of humor!”

He takes a napkin and dabs at your face. That was too intimate for your liking. You take it from him and smile, “of course I do. I just didn’t expect you to have one.”

He gives you a funny look and smiles to himself. “There’s a lot that we don’t know about each other yet. I know a lot of Draconians seem barbaric at first and as a future king I have to play such a merciless role but… well, I’ve met actual barbarians. They’re not half bad. And as a king I have to be assertive so my people will take me seriously. I’ve accepted the role but there’s more to me than my status.”

You’ve said that to your father plenty of times in one form or another. It was almost reassuring, knowing that you and your husband had at least one thing in common.

“nurh-rhyvos-maurg,” you practice saying it. Draconic is mostly rolling your R’s and and elongating the S’s but when it comes to words like ‘maurg’ you had to sort of growl.

“Trust me, it’s a big insult for Draconians. Nurh-rhyvos-mmAURg,” he enunciates the last word and his sharp teeth are flashed at you. It’s kinda cute the way he growled the word out.

“And what do I call you?”

“Mrrandii, which means ‘husband.’”

“And what do you call me?”

“Memamosal, for ‘wife’ and vorel for ‘beautiful,’” he grins as your cheeks are dusted with pink, “but I prefer ithquant because you could only be described as divine.”

You didn’t think it was possible but your face turned an even deeper shade of red. He takes the opportunity to lean in close to your ear and whispers, “sia vorel vur ithquant memamosal.” You nearly melt at the way his low voice rumbled in your ears. You turn to see him staring at your lips. “My beautiful and divine wife…”

You find yourself leaning closer to him. His pupils dilate, only making his crimson eyes an even more vibrant ruby. His lashes are dark and long and nearly ran you as he blinks. Your lips are a hair away from his before the two of you are interrupted by the Draconic growling coming from behind you.

Eijirou sighs and turns towards the man who addressed him. They have a conversation you can’t understand while you pick at your plate, wondering what the hell you were about to do. You were going to kiss your damn husband which is fine. You’re fine. Everything is fINE.

Eijirou clears his throat and takes your hand. “There are some customary festivities going on in town today. It’s actually pretty common and we’re not expected to go,” he bites his lip and you fixate on his teeth. Why did you think they were so cute all of a sudden? “Normally I would encourage anyone to go to these things but they can get pretty loud and well, last night…”

Ah. You are very hungover. You furrow your brows, “how loud?”

He brings his hand to his neck and gives you a sheepish grin, “let’s just say our wedding was pretty hushed compared to this.”

“Oh…” you stare down at your half eaten food. Is there a polite way to refuse?

“We don’t have to go! I’d just like you to know what’s going on in our kingdom. We can always go to the next festival, there’s plenty!”

“Well, you should go!” You don’t want to keep him from having fun. Besides that, you really wanted to have some time to yourself to think.

“I don’t want to leave you here by yourself. What kind of man would I be if I left my lady here waiting and bored out of her wits?”

“I won’t be bored. I’ll… go exploring! What kind of queen would I be if I didn’t know my own castle?”

You can tell he is being resistant but you really need to be alone. You place your hand over his and he stares at it. This was the first time you had instigated a touch. You bat your lashes at him, only half guilty for using your charm to get what you want. “Please?”

“Maybe I’ll have someone escort you around?”

You shake your head. “That won’t be necessary. Sometimes being alone and getting lost is the best way to find yourself familiar with oneself and their surroundings. I’ll do fine.”

He frowns at the word ‘alone.’ He leans back in his chair and his brows narrow in concentration. His eyes light up and he grins, “Yeah, okay. That’ll be good for you.”

You have half a mind to ask him what he means but you don’t. You don’t want him to change his mind so instead you kiss him on the cheek and watch his face flush.

You don’t see him change for the festival. You’re only informed of when he has left and you begin your investigative stroll.

From the outside, the temple stands high and proud but seems rather small compared to the inside. Your castle at home was large enough to house the royal family, your servants, and five other noble families. Though the temple is larger than the viewer’s eyes it only houses the royal family and a few of their servants but the town isn’t a long journey away. The temple is smaller because it wasn’t meant to be housed at all when it was created. It was to be a house of worship for Draconians. They have an ancient following that is derived from the first appearance of dragons or so you are to believe. You thought that was very interesting since your kingdom was basically built through power with a big help from magic. That’s why the high priestess is hailed almost like royalty.

Outside, your feet are greeted with warm sand that surrounds the temple. It’s not hot enough to burn you and it’s really quite inviting. Draconians don’t wear shoes and you weren’t offered any when getting dressed which was fine but you were thankful for the lush grass you found after strolling outwards, not wanting you feet to get too dusty. As you walk you taken in the air that is rich with a sweet aroma of the tropical fruit growing nearby and the slight hint of a burning wood that follows you whoever you go. It was an odd mix but fitting for such an odd kingdom.

You balance your feet and walk in a straight line, one foot in front of the other, and think about your place in this kingdom. You were going to be their queen and Eijirou, your king. You grew up knowing that you were going to be a queen somewhere but it was finally happening all too fast and in the place far too foreign. But you did it for a just reason. You did it for peace. And you are going to be a good queen but how can you be so sure of that if you can’t have your own husband touching you without panicking? You blamed that on Anaya but you’re not sure if things would be different if she hadn’t threatened you.

You’re lost in your head when the ground starts to shake. It happened so quickly that you’re not sure if you imagined it or not. It shakes again and you lose your balancing game. Your eyes shoot up and your gasp.

About fifty meters away, clear as the sky, a Herculean creature, mighty and proud with gorgeous sanguine scales that shine as the warm sun hits them, stares at you. Your first encounter with a dragon.

[hagal-autorska-galeria]

Fehu Rune associated with prosperity. Translated from Old-Scandinavian, it means cattle or fire. It symbolizes cow horns in its rite. One could say it speaks of “the effective way of deliberating”. Thus, of how we look at our own goods and how we feel about them, how we perceive investing in ourselves and in the world around us. Consider this, my friend: A good husbandman knows what to do after harvesting his crops and the fortune smiles at him. Remember to praise your subconsciousness for your joint efforts that were crowned with success. Hence, try to reward yourself with a little something bought with a smile. Be glad for what you have achieved, no matter how small. Do not frivol away your wealth, as if it burned your hands. Look around you. How many people manages their goods incapably? How many got in trouble, fooled by the jingle of coins? Fuel your fire, constantly adding more wood. Not too much, or you will kill the spark. Invest in yourself by caring for your constant growth, following the principle: “Who does not go forward, goes backwards” First, though, you must find out what is your tool for development and your way of the acquisition of wealth. So this rune will aid you in finding answers to those questions. It is a guardian of our money, ensuring that cornucopia always favours us. It will also show us what is blocking out sense of stability when it comes to wealth. It will attract all those, who can help our constant growth – both the smaller one, based on possessions, and the huge one, based on knowledge and the ways of using it. Here is the rune of fortune, may it ever be in your favour. It is the first rune, which the alphabet of elder Futhark begins with. It belongs to the domain or, in other words, to the house or the eight of Freya Energy-wise, it is of Fire element. In the Scandinavian mythology, Audhumla cow is it’s guardian – a synonym forwealth and prosperity.

Session 5 Recap

When we left off last time, the gang had just finished defeating a group of racists in a street brawl involving fire and puns. Now, the leader of the orc group they were defending, Siv, has suggested they move someplace more discreet to avoid the gathering crowd’s eyes. The gang (minus Belloth who was busy arm wrestling villagers or something) reaches a basement tavern on the impoverished side of town where the orcs reside.

Shadowdancer orders her usual tall glass o’ cow juice.

Shadowdancer: "Gimme the tit squeezins!"

Bartender: “Calm down...Here...”

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [I taste it]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [is it cold]

Hamster Master (GM):  [its the coldest and most delicious milk you've ever tasted]

Shadowdancer: "Holy shit."

Shadowdancer drinks all of it and leaves the milk mustache on. 

The group is curious about what happened back at the town. Siv tries to explain as best as she can.

Apparently those kinds of scuffles happen often, with people that like to push the orcs around whenever they enter the town square. The mood grows even icier at the mention of Frida.

Tuile: "Have you...spoken to or interacted with the woman known as Lady Frida lately?"

Shadowdancer: "Or with the people working for her?"

As the name of the lady leaves your lips you notice how the orcs around you suddenly tense up, and the friendly smile on Siv's face turns almost sour and forced.

Siv: Ah...the lady.

Tuile: "Oh. Welp.”

Corva: "I take it you guys aren't on good terms."

Siv: Well I can't say she's very...popular among us.

Shadowdancer: "Why's that?"

The orc beside her, a shorter male, scoffs at that.

Shadowdancer: "I heard some of you had a bit of a scuffle with a few of her guards that were out of uniform."

Male Orc: She's a fucken piece of wolf-shit.

Shadowdancer: "I don't doubt that.”

Tuile: "From what we've learned, that seems reasonable." 

Despite the discrimination the orcs have faced before, Frida is the only noble to try and actively get rid of them.

Siv: When she stepped into power she immediately began renovating our homes, and at first that gave us hope of course but....then we weren't let back in. It's like she's waiting for the people to take us out...or sickness...or the cold of sleeping outside at night.

Corva: "That's awful, I'm so sorry. Who were the houses given to after they were stolen from you?"

Shadowdancer wipes her milk stache with a sympathetic expression.

Siv: Thank you...Well it was given to anyone else, really. People from the bad parts that needed new homes. As long as they weren't orcs.

Tuile tries to prompt Siv into saying more but fails a persuasion check. Shadowdancer tries and passes, leading Siv and Shadowdancer to a conversation the rest of the group isn’t privy to.

Shadowdancer: "You knew he was watching but didn't do anything about it? I suppose there wasn't much to do without looking even worse."

Siv: “He was adorable. We were going to talk to him but then they showed up and we didn't want him to get hurt.”

Shadowdancer nods.

Siv: “He was safer up there.”

Shadowdancer: "Fair enough."

The group is confused but Shadowdancer waves it off.

A room check shows nothing out of the ordinary besides the orcs regarding the group with suspicion. Shadowdancer agrees to help the orcs in any way. After a quiet discussion, the rest of the group reaches that same agreement after acknowledging that they hold no loyalties to Frida and are mostly in it for the money they were promised.

Siv then mentions a ‘Boss,’ much to the confusion of the group.

Siv: “Well if you want to help we can probably find something for you, though we'll have to save that talk for later.”

She looks at her group and they nod, all smiling.

Siv: “We got to speak with Boss first about this. Don't worry. We'll send someone to find you.”

Shadowdancer looks at the others and mouths "Boss?"

Corva shrugs.

Tuile shakes her head and crosses her arms, looking down.

The group decides it’s time to go, but not without being reminded of the goal they’ve all been striving for with all their hearts:

Camilla (Corva): [guys i reckon larry is lost forever now]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [:( thats quitter talk]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [sock keeper ate him]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [prOBABLY]

Hamster Master (GM): [#justiceforlarry]

Briar (Heskan): [larry is secretly some eldritch abomination and is heskan's patron]

Tuile thirsts after Siv and her orc teeth.

The group heads out for the night to sleep but realize it’s only 16:00 (4 PM) in game. They find ways to pass the time.

Shadowdancer flirts with orcs, who are very interested in her sparkling horns.

Tuile sulks in the corner and complains to Freya, her goddess. She answers with feelings of anger and sadness, which worry Tuile.

Corva spends the evening sorting through her things, looking unhappy.

Heskan does His Thing.

Shadowdancer rolls persuasion to try to convince an orc to invite her home so she doesn’t have to pay for a room. She rolls a 20. Two orcs, a muscly lady and one guy, are interested. 

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [bye lads i'm getting dicked down by an orc]

Tuile looks at the camera likes she's on the fantasy office.

More of the evening passes with Tuile fuming to her goddess about stress baking and moral crises, though Freya doesn’t seem concerned with baking at the moment.

Eff and Ham convince Cravin to roll persuasion to see if any of the Hot Orcs will wanna spend the night with Tuile.

Camilla (Corva): [Corva isn't interested in any peen or vageen]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [im gonna roll a 2 and have to leave town]

Hamster Master (GM): [there's a lady orc sitting next to ya]

Hamster Master (GM): [she's glancing over at you]

Tuile rolls and gets a 23.

Hamster Master (GM): [HOLY]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [NICE]

Camilla (Corva): [damn]  

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [BYE LOSERS]  

While Tuile and Shadowdancer are occupied, Heskan and Corva figure out where they’re going to sleep for the night. Both decide to spend the night at the tavern they’re occupying for 5 silver.

The night passes and the group meets up once again at the tavern’s main area. It is uneventful and Shadowdancer definitely does NOT ask Tuile is she nutted. Neither Shadowdancer nor Tuile explicitly admit they had sex with the orcs, either.

Then, the ground begins to shake.

Everyone rolls dexterity to see if they fall.

Heskan and Corva manage to stay upright by grabbing onto the bar counter.

Shadowdancer falls but is unhurt.

Tuile falls on her face immediately.

Everyone is confused.

The bartender makes a comment about the gods, making Tuile suspicious. She helps Shadowdancer pick up the broken glass from the bar, deep in thought. She gives herself a cut and is healed by Corva. Tuile recollects talking to her goddess earlier and the feelings of anger and stress she felt. She decides to try and contact her goddess again.

Slowly the feeling of anxiety spread to your body, as if it's being forced upon you. But just as sudden as it appeared it's gone again.

Heskan: "What's wrong?

Tuile: "She's angry. Scared of something. Anxious. I-I don't know exactly..."

Heskan: "What could be powerful enough to make a god scared?"

Shadowdancer: "Don't like that."

Heskan: "Me neither."

Tuile looks sick and panicked.

She heads to the door for fresh air when it opens, another person crashing into her. The figure reveals herself to be Mari!

She says she is here to meet with the group, and when questioned takes out a piece of paper.

There's only a sigil on it, a blind raven with an eye in its beak.

Mari: “We've decided to welcome your help.”

TW: Rant, familial issues, school mention, name calling, caps, and long post. I censor my swearing.

I want to preface that I do this as 1. It helps me relieve stress and 2. I don’t have a space to vent and at least putting it here makes me feel I’m not alone.

I want to add I am saying things in the moment - so my feelings are still amped up. Some remarks I make I only feel then rather than always.

Always count on my family to step on my contentness. For the first time in 3 weeks I was content with myself and then my grandparents came over. My dad mentioned that I had the day off on Mondays (Grade 11 and 12s have a 4 day week here) and mentions I’ll be studying.

I responded with “what? There’s nothing to study?”

“Freya we talked about this. I don’t want to hear any of it. You’ll say anything to get out of something you don’t want. You have 3 teachers sitting in this room. You can’t get out of anything. You’re lazy and sluggish.”

Excuse me, what the hell.

Oh yes, your daughter, the same one who has gotten all excellents for her behaviour and effort on her report card, the straight-A student. Yes, dad, that makes complete sense /s

I may act prideful, I may act like I am top sh*t but how the f*ck else am I meant to prove to this two-faced family I’m worth anything?

THE THING IS THEY’RE WRONG. We haven’t started our new units yet that are relevant to the next assignment. They think they know so much about the system WHEN THE SYSTEM THEY TAUGHT AND LEARNED IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. They taught and learned OP, WHICH WAS REPLACED BY ATAR (which I do).

But they never listen. My dad, who used to be my childhood hero, everything I wanted to be: stabs me in the back. Repeatedly, time and again I never learn. Because he’s nice 65% of the time. He has a god complex, he acts like he was the moral high ground, he has the nerve to think he is successful in the world.

But I still love them. They call me names: they say I’m a cow, a disgusting slug, a b*tch when they’re angry. For what? Being successful where you failed? Following your commands? And I still love them.

And honestly, I think it’s changed from me loving them because I genuinely thought they are the best people in the world to now loving them out of obligation.

I loved who they were, not who they are.

#Freya Talks | 💙 #rant tw #family tw #I’m still so confused #no I do love them - but at the same time.. #I shouldn’t even be complaining #I’m privileged - I should be thankful. I don’t have the rights to be sad or angry

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common words that can be used as prefix to any of the suffixes above Svart- (black)  Lille- (little/small)  Sol- (sun)  Brei-/Bred- (wide)  Stor- (big) Lang- (long)

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m)  Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Prefixes Blåbær- (blueberry) Bringebær- (raspberry) Bjørke- (birch) Aspe- (asp) Kastanje- (chestnut) Solsikke- (sun flower) Blåklokke- (blue bell) Nype- (rosehip) Kirke- (church) Park- (park)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road)  -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

It says he probably can't get in here and we say we probably can't but he's saying the car Rodan is ours not just his and hers or their cadre but it is a hypercar and it's new and it's one of a kind so we're going to go to them with two of them and tell them who designed it and there's a code name for you and her and they'll look it up and they might figure out it's true and it said it will start at 10 million and the respected but they think it's too low and the Aston Martin is a 20 million dollar car Wednesday we'll hear that there's no reserve in other words and 10 million you can sell it but they can bid until the cows come home and carry it on for a few weeks if needed so they might accept that and the reason it's too low is because it's too low and if they don't accept it we're going to other exotics car auctions. I don't even want to say what he's talking about he says he's got a guy so we're going to try here first and we anticipate that they may accept them and we'll have the design ready hopefully tomorrow and yeah he wants to incorporate people's ideas and she does too and that's why we did it and people like that our people love it and they love it too and it's going to be a crazy crazy car this is going to be so damn fast it's going to be over 3,000 miles an hour on the street and it'll be a fly car as an option so really the top speed would be very high and he needs special materials and we're going to use that we're also going to track who shows up and South Beach will too and they're going to see this guy Trump show up and yeah his intend on selling any companies in his murder is proof no it's a weird thing it's like social media or something he thinks she's super famous he's a wacko. He's on his way out and a lot it will sell for a lot they both will and they want to see if people can tell which ones which don't be slightly different and which one will fetch more money and he says it has to be scaled because of a woman buys it and stuff like that. She does accept it and doesn't like it it says they have less money that's not the case in our realm and she's going to prove it. We're going to proceed and approach these people and they say not to put the website up no attract too much unnecessary attention. So we removed that.

[secret-rendezvous1d]

*SPOILERS*

Okay so it was a really long day and night it overran by two hours and I can’t remember the exact order everything happened so it may not be chronologically accurate but I’m gonna try my best to tell it from start to finish as correct as possible.

So once we were like in the waiting area to go in everyone was just chilling out and stuff all just waiting to go in, people were singing along to the music that was playing and it was all nice and chilled, well it was until someone worked out that Harry was in a room near us and this one girl managed to somehow make 300/400 people be quiet and told us that Harry was in that room and we all started yelling his name and cheering and shit and I couldn’t see so I don’t know if he came out or not but eventually everyone just screamed and then went back to their seats so I don’t know exactly what happened there but something happened 😂 then Taylor swift we are never ever getting back together comes on the radio so we all start singing along to that to take the piss lmao and then eventually we start going in.

So the stage place was great I’ll like draw a diagram or something but it was like a circular stage with the bands stuff and everything on it and then there was a catwalk bit as well and we all fill up around it and then there are seats at the end for people who got seats like Harry’s family etc. I saw Anne, this was like an amazing achievement for me cuz it’s fucking Anne I was shook lmao so yeah and then we did all the warm up cheering and stuff before nick came on and he told us it was Sarah’s birthday so we all sang happy birthday without actually being told to so it was a little out of time but I think she was happy with it lmao. Then he introduced Harry and omfg I just I can’t he was so fucking beautiful like you think he’s pretty in the pics and then he’s stood right in front of you and you’re just like holy shit it’s an angel and ughhhhh he’s wearing that suit and omg we all just lost our minds 😂

He did a bit of a chat with us just saying hello and thanks and he introduced the band and then it came to Mitch, I didn’t even realise it was Mitch he’d cut his hair off I was like woah wtf and someone yells “where’s the hair” and Harry was like “wouldn’t we like to know” and made a sarcastic comment about him not knowing and then joked that they carry it around with them like a wig and said that he wasn’t aware it was being cut off too and he was being all cute with us he came over to my section by the side of the stage and waved to us all and everyone was screaming but I was just like in shock so I was just staring like wtf this man is not actually in front of me rn and he just smiled at me and omg I was like fuck no that didn’t just happen it did he fucking looked at me and smiled holy shit. So he started with two ghosts and it was so beautiful hearing it live and all the lighting and stuff they had was amazing and just made it an amazing experience and we were swaying and stuff it was so nice.

Someone asked him what he had for lunch as he said fish so after a while we started asking what type of fish and he was confused as to why we were asking but eventually told us he had seabass and that it was very nice. Turns out the girl who asked worked at McDonald’s so wanted to know, the warm up comedian guy made a good point that Harry wouldn’t go to McDonald’s and she was like “we sell fish” and he was like right okay then.

Okay then I think he did from the dining table next omg the people behind me was so funny she was like “oh shit no someone hold me!” I was like same girl same but he did that and it was just silence and I’m gonna be honest I was stood next to my mum and when he went “played with myself” I lost it I laughed, no one heard it I just found it awkward af hearing him actually say it and I laughed, it sounded more like a choke but yeah my immature mind couldn’t take it. There was one bit when we all clapped along but then went back to silence and at the end we were like stunned cuz it took a couple secs to get the clapping going again but it was shocking to hear it live it was so emotional I wasn’t prepared.

THEN RODGER OMG okay Rodger is like the manager of something and he was kinda telling everyone what to do, he got us going for the clapping and stuff and was pausing between songs to make sure everything was right, so Rodger was like alright Harry we gotta do two ghosts again and Harry was like what okay then so he did it again and it was just as good as the first time. He was jokingly yelling at Rodger and we joined in and when he asked what he was supposed to do they said nothing and he was like that’s all I’m good for I was like baby nooo. Then he did meet me in the hallway holy shit that was amazing he was so good and hearing the “give me some morphineeee” but it gave me shivers even tho it wasn’t him who sung it.

He joked that all the sad songs were done and he did a cheeky grin and was like let’s move on be happy and Rodger was like wait no Harry we need FTDT again please and Harry said that he looked like a prat now and omg no one needs to hear FTDT twice it hurt I wasn’t prepared and the people behind me were literally freaking out about it I was like omg okay this is crazy 😂

We were asking him for jokes while they sorted the staging and he asked if we had any and I think someone said the cow one and he was like omg no but while laughing so we didn’t get a joke. He also said something like “I’ve got one joke but it’s a bit dirty,” then he looked over the crowd towards Anne and was like “can’t tell them the one you told me the other day can I Sandra!”

Then I think he might’ve done seeet creature? This is where the order gets a bit muddled sorry I’m not 100% anymore, but he was like “this is sweet creature” and everyone screamed and he did it and it was so beautiful I FUCKING LOOKED OVER TO ANNE AND SHE WAS SINGING ALONG I WAS LIKE OMG MY HEART so yeah that was just really really nice to listen to it was beautiful.

Then I think he did ever since New York? He was like “sing along if you know it” so I was like holy shit Stockholm syndrome yes let’s do it! Then he said something like “this is a song I wrote uhh wrote it a while ago when I was uhh yeah I was in New York” and ngl I love the song but it’s never been my favourite but hearing it live was amazing and I loved it as much as the others I think he had a guitar for it and stuff it was just nice and chilled.

He went off stage at some point for a wee lmao and when he came back he shook hands with the warm up guy, he did this every time they passed each other my heart ugh, and he came back and said “I was walking back and someone asked me if I was gonna change my suit!” He was so offended aww he also said that someone told him a joke so he told us and yeah wasn’t great he was like “a bear walked into a bar and said I’ll have a pint of beer and a ………. packet of peanuts. The bartender says why the big pause” and we all just went a little quiet and he goes “you know, paws, bears have paws” and he put his hands up like paws and we all laughed and he wasn’t happy with it lmao

Then he did Carolina and omg he fucking loves it you can tell he loves it so much he was coming around the stage making us doing the lalalalas and was just loving every second of it I was like you’re so happy I love youuu Woman was amazing, I was there with my mum and she really doesn’t like it lmao so she looked at me like wtf Sophie why I was like soorryyyy gotta love it tho and ugh it was an experience the lighting was all red and like sexy? I dunno but yeah it was fucking amazing I was shook. During the instrumental he just stood with his back to us but did that like body roll dancing thing he does you know? Where he like bobs his head to the music and stuff? I don’t know if that makes sense but he did that lmao then he finished it and we all went wild lmao

Then he told us another joke but really dragged it out so he told us a line then did a song then told us a line and then a song so it went like this:
“Two cupcakes were in an oven”
*song*
“One cupcake turns to the other and says hey”
*song*
“Wait where did I get to?” We tell him where he got to “oh yeah yeah okay, one cupcake turns to the other and says hey, the other goes ah! A talking cupcake!”
And we all just stared at him like wtf even was that and he was like “breaking it up like that really ruined it” and we were just like wtf Harry no

Sign of the times was just yeah wow he dedicated it to Freya, a girl who was a victim in the Manchester attack. He said “this next one, in dedicating to my friend Freya who’s here tonight” and it was really sweet I could see her and they from where I was, she was sat near Anne, and they were all smiling at her. The whole thing was amazing we all sang along I cried cuz Anne was crying like it made me so sad and I felt bad for like watching her so I wasn’t watching but I glanced over and she was wiping her eyes and just sobbing and I just wanted to give her the biggest hug and at the end the people she was with were comforting her so it was okay but it still hurt to see it. He didn’t do “it’s a sign. Of. The. Times” bit that he does towards the end when it’s live I was like damn and i don’t think he did all the of the ending cuz I know there were a few bits where it was just us singing but it was so great to just listen to it it was amazing.

Lou came on to do his make up and he looked at us and was like I don’t wear make up and someone said that he always says that and he said he doesn’t she said he does and then he was like IVE BEEN EXPOSED! He kept moving while she was doing it tho he must be an absolute pest he was looking around and she was putting powder on his and she was sorting his hair and he was turning to look at us and stuff.

We all started chanting for kiwi, my section all started singing it and he just looked over with a smirk and he was like maybe…. all cheeky then deadpanned “no” and I swear we all gasped lmao and ugh he grinned that smile will be the death of me so then he did it he did kiwi. It had a really big drum intro so everyone was like what’s it’s gonna be then kiwi started and we all went mad and it was an outer body experience the lighting was incredible he was going crazy he did the stance with his hand on his hip he was insane it was honestly so just in awe of it and then after he was like “we need to start doing that one last, I get all sweaty” and everyone started cheering for it again and he was like maybe at the end alright?

He was talking to a fan in the audience and he was nodding along to what she was saying then at the end goes “that sounds really interesting but I’ll be honest I didn’t hear any of it” Then he did only angel, he didn’t do the little angel wings okay I hate to disappoint but he didn’t I was kinda sad about it. But during the intro, there was a spotlight coming from behind him so he just went and stood infront of it with his back to us and put his arms out and was like Jesus or something he had his hands shaking and I was like holy fuck what is this and then he sung it HE WENT OVER TO SOMEONE AND HE SUNG A GOOD TEN SECONDS OF IT RIGHT IN HER FACE I WAS LIKE LET THAT BE ME I DONT KNOW HOW SHES STILL ALIVE BUT CONGRATS TO HER 😂 it was amazing though yeah you’ll love it.

Then he did kiwi again and it was just as great as the first time and we were all hyped lmao he threw a bottle of water at us.

The chain and girl crush were mixed in there somewhere and ngl my uneducated ass had never heard either before so listening to Harry sing them a completely new thing, the entire place was quiet except for clapping and we all just listened the Harry. For the chain he sang all parts but the band did a lot of singing too, he says later in the interview that the band are all singers so it was an easy song to do. And for girl crush that was amazing too, ngl Hearing Harry saying “I want her long blonde hair” made my heart skip a beat because I have long blonde hair so yeah that was incredible. Also, in the interview when the chain was brought up and he looked to the band to say how they were all singers, I looked to the band too, now, I don’t want to start any drama and they are probably just friends and stuff but Sarah was sat on Mitch’s lap and they were whispering to each other and giggling and when Harry and grimmy looked over, Adam looked down and shook his head as if he was like “knew you’d get caught” and Clare was smiling at them while then just acted as if everything was fine I was like uhhhhh… k then 😂

Anyway, for the interview we got moved down towards the end so we could see it better because they did it on a different bit of stage to the performance. I was behind him and he kept turning around to chat with the people there and ugh I just had this nice view of the back of his head and his little baby ears and his jaw and ugh man it was good he’s got such broad shoulders damn. Anywayyyyyy…

The girl in front of me was crying, he hadn’t done anything except be there and she was just bawling and omg he turned around and was like “yeh alright? D'yeh need anything? Yeh okay?” I was like baby awwww and he was chatting to them and Lou came and did his make up again and we were like hi Lou and she said hi and that was cute and someone asked was lipstick he was wearing, I thought they asked what foundation but everyone keeps saying lipstick so we’ll go with that lol and he was like not telling

He waved to Anne like he did a cute little wave like a baby wave if that makes sense so he put his hand in a fist and then out of a fist yknow? And she did it back I was like awwww THEN A LITTLE LATER HE GAVE HER A THUMBS UP LIKE CHECKING IT WAS GOOD AND SHE GAVE HIM ONE BACK ANS HIS FACE LIT UP I WAS SCREAMING.

Harry disappeared again and the comedian warm up man came back and was handing out the water bottles and stuff and gave out Harry’s guitar pick and one of the crew was like “alright Andrew that’s enough just leave it now” cuz he was gonna pass out he set lists and he basically got told off lmao but loads of people were asking for drinks so the crew brought us all a load of juice cartons so when Harry gets back we’re all drinking juice so for a bit of the interview we’re all stood there with juice lmao The interview was great, they changed the chairs that they had been in before tho so they were trying to work out how to sit in them cuz if they sat in them properly then then sunk back but if they sat on the end then it was intimidating. Grimmy said he felt like piers Morgan and Harry got out of his seat and was like “I’m off then” I was like oooooo shady They did like a video thing prerecorded HE GOES AND PLAYS BINGO WIRH THE ELDERLY AND NONE OF THEM PICK HIS ALBUM AS THEIR PRIZE HE WAS SO POUTY AND UGH IT WAS SO CUTE LIKE THAT WAS AMAZING he was like “Mary! Why not!” And then they got back in the car and Harry was like “she was asked if she wants shampoo, shampoo is provided there she shouldn’t need it that was a wrapped copy wasn’t even opened” and grimmy was like “I left it there, they’re gonna use it as a coaster” and Harry just laughed but he was hurt. Then they go and do darts but with axes and Harry hits it every time except once while nick is shit at it and cuz Harry won he gets to have a go with two axes and he gets them both on target and we all went wild lmao he was so proud

Grimmy was like okay we’re gonna go back to the beginning talk about the history and we started singing history and it was amaizng it started just a few people but then we all joined in and Harry started tapping his foot along with it for the beat and it was really great. Grimmy also commented on the fact we scream about anything either of them says and demonstrated it he was like “watch this, today” *scream* “i” *scream* “am here” *scream* “with Harry styles” *scream* and Harry laughed at us. They spoke about Dunkirk and the album all the basics really. We all went mad about Dunkirk when they showed pics lmao. Someone yelled “Harry can you wish me luck on my driving test?” And he was like “yeah good luck” and she goes “thanks I’ll let you know how it goes” and he was like what? And looked confused but was just like “yeah that’s great thanks”

Someone asked if he’d sign something for her and he was like yeah you got a pen or paper or anything? And she was like no and he was like well can’t do it can I? Then she got some paper lmao right before the interview started again and it went quiet she goes “Harry I got the paper!” And he chuckled and was like “alright that’s a good start”

They had to film all the little connections between the songs and the interview for when they edit it all together and at one bit Harry didn’t know what song he was supposed to be introducing so grimmy was like “what’s songs next then Harry?” And he was like “uhhhh I mean I don’t know” and they had to redo it. This happened like twice lmao

He kept doing this silly walks too like you could tell he wasn’t bored but he was like playing up a little cuz it was just doing things being put together so they could edit it all later and he was doing like that Irish kick thing and walking all weird and skipping and stuff it was funny. At the end he was calling for Anne he was like “mum, mum, MUM” cuz she was talking to someone and then he was doing all these little signals to tell her what to do next and then he said a final thank you to us all for coming and waiting all day for him and stuff and was running along touching everyone’s hands and okay this might be a reach but I think it happened so I’m hoping it did but he was saying goodbye everyone and I was stood watching cuz I didn’t want to miss anything and he like looked over the crowd to where I was stood and he did this a couple times. I was wearing the sweatshirt he wore, he wore a pink sweatshirt a little while back and I bought it and I wore it yesterday so I’m like “he was looking at me cuz he recognised I was wearing his sweatshirt” then I realised I was stood in line with Anne so he was probably looking over me to her but a girl can dream 😂

So yeah that was my experience, like I said I know this all happened but the order might now be correct just because it’s all a little blurry and sooo much happened. This is everything I remember so there may be a few bits I’ve missed out but this is everything I remember :) xx

It sounds like you had such a cool time! xx

Get to Know a Witch

 Rules - Tag the followers you’d like to get to know

Thanks for the tag @freya--witch! I’ve been wanting to do one of these ^.^

I’m sorry about your cat, I hope you find a lot of light and healing in the coming days <3

Nicknames - Allie, short for Allison, to mostly everyone, and Bambi or Bambi Pambi to my closest friends.

Gender - Womaaan

Star sign - Sun Virgo, Moon Aries (I ALWAYS thought I was a double Virgo because I never input my location of birth. I have so much to learn!), Rising Taurus

Height - 5′4.5″

Sexuality - Bisexual

Hogwarts house -Slytherin

Favourite animal - Ooo this is hard.. I’m mildly obsessed with cows, but I love pandas- where my nickname originated.

Average hours spent sleeping - On average probably 5- some nights it’s 0, others it’s upwards of 10.

Dogs or cats - Dogs! I have a 1.5 year old Boxer/Beagle/Pitbull named Cora and my boyfriend has a 5(?) year old Norwegian Elkhound mix named Bourne. We hope to get a cat soon though! 

Number of blankets I sleep with - 1 sheet, 1 comforter, 1 thick blanket and my 23 year old, beat up baby blanket (because I am an adult, god damnit.)

Dream trip -Hard to say! I would love to do a hiking trip around the US with my boyfriend and our dogs. I also want to visit South Korea or Japan on my next Across-the-Globe trip.

Dream job - After 1 failed “dream job” and 1 flailing venture into entrepreneurship, I am kind of cynical about “Dream Jobs”. Now, my dream job is simply one where I am happy and good at what I do.

When I made this account - Less than a week ago!

Why I made this account - I have always been drawn to “witchy things”, but as a “normal person” never felt right exploring it. I also grew up a heavily involved Catholic, so that played a part as well. I hit a really low point in my life and was getting desperate for ANYTHING to make me feel better and get back to being the person I was pre-depression- so I said “fuck it” and started learning something I was always interested in. I’m an extremely new, baby witchling studying secular magic and finding out what works for her <3
