"Quoth the raven, nevermore"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

are cats appropriate substitutes for crows?

i find crows a bit hard to come by.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

That's definitely not Anthony Hopkins.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I don't have any ravens and I like to keep both eyes. Other than that and a few pounds too much I am well on my way to look like this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I can't grow a beard, man.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Why I would need your acceptance?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Getting stopped randomly in the street by people trying to find weed or the Greek Orthodox temple, that's what.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Ay bruh, you know the way to Eleusis?? I'm tryna get faded on that kykeon and meet Dagon and get them mad good tips on agriculture, know what I'm sayin???

Can't grow a beak nor feathers

I haven't hung myself from Yggdrasil to gain the knowledge of the runes yet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

You also gotta find Mimir and give him an eye to drink from his well of wisdom. Then after her gets beheaded you gotta keep his head around to talk to sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So random little aside, because you've said a thing, and I have a thing I enjoy talking about. I don't need more of a reason than that, stranger.

In a series of urban fantasy short stories I've been writing, a super old term for runic witches (witch being a gender neutral term) is "children of Odin" or "Odin's heir"

That's all. I'm just really proud of that terminology, and I just think it's neat. Like a potato.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

These short stories... Where can I find more about them?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There's a couple little snippets on my super duper unmaintained blog, dharmacurious.org

Otherwise I haven't really posted them anywhere. I warn you, though, they're not polished. Very first draft-y. I made the blog for a school project and needed some stuff to post over the course of several months, so I just uploaded them there, and always intended to go and upload the better version and just haven't gotten around to it. The latest one is a (much better) version of the 20 years later snippet, done as a screen play, though I've only just finished act 1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

I'll look into it! Thank you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Oh, but if you're interested, runic witches are also called thoths children, earth witches are children of Gaia, or Terra. Fire witches are heirs of agni. Basically super outdated terms only used in, like, poetic senses now, but whatever region of the world you're from, you're the child over the patron deity of that thing. Fire God, water/sea god, whatever.

Tons of other stuff. I'm better at world building than character development. Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

You need to also pierce yourself with your own spear. So there is that

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven't found Mimir's Fountain yet, so I still have both eyes...

Oh and also, my beard is not white (yet).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

My first: thought: I haven't been given good enough reason to pluck out my own eye.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Just wear the patch. Manifest the desire, and eventually you'll find your reason! Believe in it, and you'll pop that ooey, gooey superball outta the socket with a spoon in no time!

Genetics :( been growing it out for 4 months and my facial hair isn't even an inch long :( I'm 33, dammit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Wanna swap? I get that in like 2 weeks and I'm so fucking sick of shaving.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Honestly, yeah. My face would benefit from some obstructed viewing lmao

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At best, i get Keanu's beard, but minus all the star power and fame that makes it work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

I'll trade you for my natural Joe Dirt beard.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

I'm sorry, beardless brother. One day our time will come! Here's hoping for cheap hair transplants in the near future!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I'm getting there. Been feeding the neighborhood crows and they start going crazy happy when they see me now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

My ravens won't sit still. Also my eye patch itches like crazy!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Jackdaws don't like me. My shinies aren't good enough, I guess?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Huginn is fine but Muninn keeps trying to peck my good eye out.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Step 1: Befriend two crows.

Step 2: Name them Hugin and Munin.

Step 3: ...

Step 4: RAGNAROK!!!

Not sure how anyone could see this Pic and not think of this!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

It was a clear allusion to WΓΈdΓ«n, Odin or the all father.

It's references all the way down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Mostly having both my eyes and modern hygiene.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Misplaced my gungnir. When I find it, though...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago
