Redraw of another old thing. Couldn’t decide how I wanted this to end so I think I’ll be popping another version up later.
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.
Solen sken, skönt gyllene
Dagen Tor föddes
På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell
Där låg Loke
—KJN
My translation:
The sun shone, sweet golden
The day of Tor’s birth
On the tarmac, by Taco Bell
There lay Loki
(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)
ay yo show ur husband
@bold-sartorial-statement no but hang on this should be in runes:
(oops spot the typos)
the-winter-road
i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it
Sólin skein, björt og gullin við fæðingu Þórs á stígnum við Taco Bell Þar lá Loki
The amount of quality going into these shitposts is amazing
This is not shitposting, this is transformative work!
And in Danish because why not:
Solen skinnede, skøn og gylden
På dagen for Tors fødsel
På asfalten ved Taco Bell
Dér lå Loke
“LEV MERE (LIVE MAS)”
*Snorts*
When Thor born
He hair shine brite
A very very
Magical site
But then I see
A bab from hell
I pik up loki
From taco bell
the rosetta stone of shitposting
Now THIS is the best post on this hellsite
Terry Pratchett started his career as a crypto-monarchist and ended up the most consistently humane writer of his generation. He never entirely lost his affection for benevolent dictatorship, and made a few classic colonial missteps along the way, but in the end you’d be hard pressed to find a more staunchly feminist, anti-racist, anti-classist, unsentimental and clear-sighted writer of Old White British Fantasy.
The thing I love about Terry’s writing is that he loved - loved - civil society. He loved the correct functioning of the social contract. He loved technology, loved innovation, but also loved nature and the ways of living that work with and through it. He loved Britain, but hated empire (see “Jingo”) - he was a ruralist who hated provincialism, a capitalist who hated wealth, an urbanist who reveled in stories of pollution, crime and decay. He was above all a man who loved systems, of nature, of thought, of tradition and of culture. He believed in the best of humanity and knew that we could be even better if we just thought a little more.
As a writer: how skillful, how prolific, how consistent. The yearly event of a new Discworld book has been a part of my life for more than two decades, and in that barrage of material there have been so few disappointments, so many surprises… to come out with a book as fresh and inspired as “Monstrous Regiment” as the 31st novel in your big fantasy series? Ludicrous. He was just full of treasure. What a thing to have had, what a thing to have lost.
In the end, he set a higher standard, as a writer and as a person. He got better as he learned, and he kept learning, and there was no “too late” or “too hard” or “I can’t be bothered to do the research.” He just did the work. I think in his memory the best thing we can do is to roll up our sleeves and do the same.
This post seems to be making the rounds again so here it is on the word blog

Stop memorizing my attack patterns. That's fucked up. Who let you do that.
Mother fucker. You know what? I'm entering my second phase. Have fun with the choir arrangement of my theme ass hole.
Reblog if your an FFXIV blog!
Help the lost Twitter spirits find us all.
I'm curious
I'll start one of these and see what happens.
Reblog this if you are over 35, play FFXIV, and are involved in the fan community in some way (screenshots/gpose, writing, fanfiction, posting FFXIV content).
Older gamers/fans unite?
Someone should redraw this in the classic TT style!
I think someone whispered my name… without actually whispering my name.
Again, I don’t really think I was asked specifically, but hey, here ya go! ;D
My style = Original Style
The classic Teen Titans style, eh? I’m no George Perez, but…
This is the best post now
This one took so long to make but I’m glad I did it, although I may never make another like it anytime soon. Has this ever happened to anyone else? It can’t be only me.
FF14 sketch dump featuring my dragoon WoL Rae. I’m here for all your obscure WoL shipping needs. Particularly fond of Count Edmont de Fortemps and I’m not sorry about it. Y’all can have your Aymerics, Estiniens and Haurchefonts. I’ll be here with elf dad.
