Ravens dont trust my since the bb gun incident
are cats appropriate substitutes for crows?
i find them a bit hard to come by.
What's up?
That's definitely not Anthony Hopkins.
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
I can't grow a beard, man.
Why I would need your acceptance?
Gladden his ravens
My ravens won't sit still. Also my eye patch itches like crazy!
Mostly having both my eyes and modern hygiene.
Misplaced my gungnir. When I find it, though...
Can't grow a beak nor feathers
Getting stopped randomly in the street by people trying to find weed or the Greek Orthodox temple, that's what.
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???
Pretty much, yeah.
I'm getting there. Been feeding the neighborhood crows and they start going crazy happy when they see me now
Hail Allfather!
Jackdaws don't like me. My shinies aren't good enough, I guess?
Growing a beard
Step 1: Be Odin.
You know how hard it is to train crows
Trichotillomania
Otherwise it would be fucking easy
Genetics :( been growing it out for 4 months and my facial hair isn't even an inch long :( I'm 33, dammit
Wanna swap? I get that in like 2 weeks and I'm so fucking sick of shaving.
At best, i get Keanu's beard, but minus all the star power and fame that makes it work.
I'll trade you for my natural Joe Dirt beard.
I'm sorry, beardless brother. One day our time will come! Here's hoping for cheap hair transplants in the near future!
Not sure how anyone could see this Pic and not think of this!
Still working on the crows, but would narly roosters work as a substitute?
Yeah but it would change the vibe from goth crow daddy to more like unhinged dust punk daddy
Huginn is fine but Muninn keeps trying to peck my good eye out.
Step 1: Befriend two crows.
Step 2: Name them Hugin and Munin.
Step 3: ...
Step 4: RAGNAROK!!!
Hooked beaks, feather "mane", big as hell. Those are ravens, dude's cosplay is inaccurateπ€
Every comment on this post is gold. I love Lemmy. Itβs like back when Reddit was good.
This is the mid 21st century ma'am. Even the upper class are enjoying the freedom of sweatpants. Not wearing goofy social posturing clothing like corsets and three piece suits is truly a sign of progression. Now we all look equally lazy dressing up compared to our great grandfathers.
When were done with lazy casual well get onto the cyberpunk techno phase, then the victorian dressup might come back. But not before.
My feathers do attract the witchy ladies.
I haven't hung myself from Yggdrasil to gain the knowledge of the runes yet
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.
You need to also pierce yourself with your own spear. So there is that
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.
These short stories... Where can I find more about them?
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
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.
