norway what was the bloodiest and most brutal battle you've ever been part of?

The battle of Lund in 1676.

The bloodiest battle Norway has been a part of is the Battle of Lund in 1676, fought between Denmark-Norway and the Netherlands against Sweden, where Sweden won. The Danish King had 12 300 soldiers to command and the Swedish King had only had 8 000. Both sides ended up loosing about 50% of their army. It is said to be the bloodiest battle ever fought in Scandinavia, and it was a coincidence that the Swedes won just due to the chaotic nature of the battle.

The battle was a result of Danish forces invading the southern part of today’s Sweden, an area that had previously belonged to Denmark. The Swedes were led by a reckless and young king who had already put them through harsh conditions and bad camp locations that had cause a great percentage of the soldiers to die from illness already before the battle had begun. The Danes had followed the Swedish army and were in much better position, both location-wise and with a steady supply line.

The Danes became impatient and gave up good placement to attack the Swedes as they neared the city of Lund just outside Malmö. As mentioned, the battle was disorienting and chaotic, with a lot of breaks in formation, a missing Swedish King who came back after several hours to break through Danish lines who had his forces surrounded. Not to mention over-eager Swedes absolutely slaughtering sailors who wanted to surrender, with the words “Sailors have paid to fight at sea, but not at land. You therefore deserve no mercy!”. The massacre was stopped by a Swedish officer.

How do I know if I'm bi?

So this might not be a helpful answer, but it is my genuine thought, and I want to be honest: You know you're bi if you find comfort, or happiness, or understanding of yourself in that label. It's not necessarily about split attraction to multiple genders.

Yes, bisexual people will often be attracted to more than one gender (not just man and woman, either! Many bisexual people aren't attracted to both binary genders because bisexuality is yet another complex and nuanced component of human sexuality, which in itself is inherently complex). Yes, many bisexual people express those attractions, and yes, many bisexual people share things in common. But frankly, not every bisexual is going to have similar experiences or thoughts or expressions of sexuality. My bisexuality is going to look different than yours might because I am a different human being. As such, I think it's less helpful to say "to be bisexual, you need to have these experiences," but it's more helpful to say, "if you find comfort in the bisexual label, use it"

The worst that happens with sexuality labels is you find one that matches better. I used to use the label pansexual when I was younger - the worst thing that happened was I stopped using it a year later when I felt it didn't accurately describe my feelings anymore.

If you suspect you're bi, there's likely a reason for that, and there's nothing wrong with you investigating that further. However, I don't want you to feel like you need to Prove Yourself to even use language that accurately describes your sexuality or sense of sexuality - no matter if that language is as simple as saying you're bisexual or not. Sexuality is an important aspect of identity for many folks, and you deserve the opportunity to make it as important or inconsequential as you want. Nobody is going to throw you in jail for not being bisexual or queer "enough." There's no law that says you have to have a 50/50 split attraction to binary men and women only to be bi. There's no bisexual card we hand out to you, saying you've been vetted as Bi Enough.

#ask #anon #bi #bisexual #lgbt #lgbtq #like my sense of sexuality is very convoluted and i still use bi because it's the closest i've got and that's FINE #if i was a bit younger i might have used a label like abro but i *personally* don't have any attachment or care for it being used for me #and that's fine!!! there can be two similar people in terms of sexuality who use COMPLETELY different language and labels #just like a person like me (trans man) could be on hormones and use he/him and masculine language and 'only' call themself a butch #(quotes around the word only because butch isn't a secondary identity compared to an identity like mine) #that's the beauty about language and our conceptualizions of ourselves! #we want to be understood and we cobble that together in as best a way as possible #language is naturally limiting because our feelings and thoughts are too deep for it i think #there is only so much we can do to be understood. so we do our best #what i want you to do is do your best. it's not about being Perfect in how you describe yourself. that's not the point!!! #there are things about myself that will mever be described by language and that's good i think #i think that's the same for most people. we are too complex and we should learn to find beauty and celebration in that

Okay so recently I've had brainrot about Bakugou and Deku being brothers so here goes the headcannons:

Something happened to Inko when Izuku was little and he got adopted by the Bakugous which is why they're brothers on the first place

Most of their classmates don't know bc they have different last names

In middle school they avoided addressing each other as siblings in the presence of other people, but during highschool they got more comfortable doing it

Most of the bullying never happened bc Mitsuki would not allow that in her house

"Niichan" and "Kacchan" are completely interchangeable

If you put them on a team together, the other side is doomed. If you put them on opposite teams, they will attack each other with feral ferocity and will not rest until they win

When Deku extra-annoys him, Katsuki will call him "otouto" (it means little brother, but it's rlly rude to use it in second person. Like "my little brother did this" or "his little brother did this" or "I'm his little brother" is fine, but "Hey, little brother" is rude. You can say "Hey, big brother" but not "Hey, little brother." But Kacchan is Kacchan.)

They live for the day one of them sleeps in late. They've come up with all sorts of creative ways to wake each other up

On the surface it looks like they hate each other but actually they'd die for one another

They fight. A lot. But it's usually because one of them is being stupid and the other wants him to stop being stupid

They have a lot of weird in-jokes

Katsuki has a written record of how many times he's beat Izuku at something and how many times Izuku has beat him at something. It goes back years

Izuku pretends not to care about it but actually he does. A lot.

No matter how small the competition is, if you pit them against each other they will make it a Major Contest

If Katsuki is sad, Izuku tries to cheer him up with The Dumbest Jokes on the Planet

They steal each other's food all the time. Izuku doesn't really like the spicy but dammit he's gonna take Kacchan's food if Kacchan is gonna take his

Both of them have gotten exceptionally good at not laughing & snorting liquid out their nose bc they had a contest of getting the other to do that for a long time. It's still going on

God they would be the most brothers of all time. You’ve absolutely NAILED their dynamic this is perfect

I wonder what everyone else would think? They’d most likely assume that growing up together just makes them act like brothers, but the rest of 1A would be SHOCKED learning that theyre actually related

#also thats super interesting with otouto! #i think little language differences like that are so cool #not a quote #ask #head canon appreciation day #my hero aus

so glad i decided to go to my school library when i started feeling sick during class this morning because otherwise i would never have found a rare copy of a room of one’s own by virginia woolf and borrowed it and have it at home with me right now ready to be continued oh my god

#i love libraries #they also have like a gajillion copies of the percy jackson books so cool of that for them #(they also have a copy of lockwood and co and i want to read it but they only have the translated version #and i just always find them very odd to read :/ #translators are awesome and they make so many works of fiction from all over the world so accessible in so many different places #but i always prefer to read a book in its original language if i can understand it well enough to be honest) #AND they also have a copy of the picture of dorian gray #this is great #i’ve always wanted to read a room of one’s own #and i actually had once started a digital copy of it and abused the highlights/comment features at 2 am in the morning #but NOW i can actually read it from a physical copy and read the annotations the previous owner had written #AND take photos of my favorite quotes to have them rejoiced and remembered in my full storage phone gallery #anyways #this is a silver lining #a room of one's own #virginia woolf #booklr #library #nadirants

#it's an old frustration. an old pattern of thought. #i just feel that i have a brain that doesn't hold information. that lacks the discipline to gain knowledge. that is incapable of deeper #thought. and i cant teel you how maddening that is. to sit in a room and listen to other people discuss a paper you read in depth 5 times #like it's the 1st time you ever heard anything about it. how is that possible? how do i work with that? i read and nothing sticks. #nothing stays with me. how??? i was talking to a prof recently who ive heard is hard on her students with disability accommodation. and she #was saying how she doesnt see these things as a disability. how we're just different not disabled. ive heard the phrase differently abled #a lot of times. and i get what she's saying. i do. ad i get why she's hard on them. she wants to push them. but there comes a point where #you are quote unquote differently abled and you run into a wall that other people dont have. then what are you supposed to do? work harder? #but what if that doesn't help? what if that just compounds the hurt that's always been there? what if that leaches away all the wonder? what #then? at what point does a thing become too much of a barrier? i think there's a reason i dont run into many other dyslexic grad student. #everyone has adhd. it's a place where those with adhd prosper. but dyslexia not so much. at least not with the level of hanicap i have #and everyone's really nice. they want to help. but there's nothing anyone can do for me at this stage. it's up to me to compensate for my #leaky head. and i kno im not stupid. ive got a piece of paper stating my iq is above average after correcting for uneven intelligence. but #i dont feel very smart most of the time. i feel more like my uncorrected iq score that comes out at just below average even with me trying #my very best. iq is bullshit but there's something to be said for that gap. im smart if unconstrained by language and time. but were bound #by language and we're bound by time so what am i supposed to do? is there anything i can do? im stuck with this forever. theres no getting #better or making it easier. my brain is wired in a way that gives me the reading skills of a child. forever. and i just have to accept that #and im trying to swallow around that idea easier because the only other option is to choke on it. but maybe i chose the wrong career path. #one of my lab mates said she wants challenges all the time and ive chosen a path that's challenges all the time but im jsut trying to do #what everyone else can without a second thought. it's deeply demoralizing. yet here i am. trying to be easier abt it. #maybe im just nit cut out for this. doing a job im not built for. #unrelated

"Dolce far Niente" is an Italian and one of my favorite saying which means "the sweetness of doing nothing". It does not mean being lazy, it’s the idea of finding pleasure in relaxation. The ability to completely enjoy and savor a moment.

There is a woman at my job, a client, who is Japanese. She married an American man and moved to the states roughly 20 years ago. She comes in regularly with their dog who needs a lot of care.

She came up to the desk earlier in the week and said she always appreciated that I greet her directly (rather than just choosing to talk to her husband) and that I always take the effort to say her name and that she’s delighted I say it correctly. I told her of course, and I only know how to pronounce it because I’m a Japanese student myself.

She was delighted, absolutely ecstatic, she ran over to grab her husband and told him all giddy that I speak Japanese, she excitedly wrote out her contact information for me and urged me to contact her at any point to practice Japanese with her. I asked if she’d been back to Japan since marrying her husband and she normally goes back to visit her folks every year, but hasn’t since the pandemic began. She asked me if I’ve ever been and I said no, but it’s on my list of places I’d love to go visit once I’m more comfortable speaking. “Please do!” she urged over and over “Come and visit, you can even come with me when I go!”

Today she was back and it was just her so I greeted her in Japanese and we had a very brief conversation. She was so fucking happy. She apparently had a hard time focusing on the dog’s appointment because she kept telling the techs and the doctor over and over how happy she was to speak Japanese with someone. She told me I was clear and understandable when I told her I’m sure I have a bad accent (I think she’s just being nice tho lmao) and when I told her I want to sign up for classes but they’re expensive it was “ME! USE ME!!! I’m FREE!!!!!! Seriously! Please!!”

This is a woman who has a considerable accent- she’s understandable but Americans are racist. Her name is very Japanese but probably one of the simplest to learn how to pronounce properly (no one at my job does). And judging by her delight in finding someone to speak her language with, it seems like she rarely is able to be on equal (or higher tbh) footing when speaking here in the States.

I’m excited to take her up on her offer, having someone to speak regularly to will improve my skills immensely, and it seems like it’ll let her have something she’s been missing since she came here.
