My Random Crap

From Harry Potter to Martial Arts to whatever other random-ass shit appeals to me at the time.

énouement

n. the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, where you can finally get the answers to how things turn out in the real world—who your baby sister would become, what your friends would end up doing, where your choices would lead you, exactly when you’d lose the people you took for granted—which is priceless intel that you instinctively want to share with anybody who hadn’t already made the journey, as if there was some part of you who had volunteered to stay behind, who was still stationed at a forgotten outpost somewhere in the past, still eagerly awaiting news from the front.

[akissforyou-deactivated20210304]

I am loved. I am divine. I am growing as a person. I am beautiful. I am magical. I am going to open up more. I am going to make progress in my personal relationships. I am going to succeed at my job. I am going to be more clear minded. I am going to speak up about my feelings. I am going to sing more. I am going to dance more. I am going to create more art. I am going to be clear about emotions and intentions. I am in charge of my mood. I am the setter for the tone. I am powerful. I am going to remember that not everything is linear. I am going to be okay.

[cplbigsocks]

I am going to be ok...

Social anxiety is also a thing. Make every member feel welcome and that you're glad they're there, especially the newbies.

Concept: The Avengers doing a body positivity ad in which they all show off their various disabilities/ scars/ imperfections. Tony gets a close-up shot of all the scars on his chest. Steve showing the stretch-marks that were caused by the serum and never really went away. Bucky stands tall without his prosthetic on. Clint signs in ASL over at the camera. Natasha shows off the ugly scar that runs straight up her spine. Bruce just stands there in his underwear, showing off his love handles and his lovely round tummy and smiling like a sunbeam. Thor takes off his eyepatch and then winks with his one good eye. They all stand next to one another, laughing, completely comfortable. The slogan of the ad says ‘no one is perfect- not even a superhero’.

black and asian vikings 100% definitely existed (also, saami vikings)

you know how far you can get into eurasia and africa by sailing up rivers from the baltic and mediterranean seas? pretty fucking far, and that’s what vikings liked to do to trade

then, you know, people are people, so love happens, business happens, and so ppl get married and take spouses back home to the frozen hellscape that is scandinavia (upon which i’m guessing the horrorstruck new spouses went “WHAT THE FUCK??? FUCKING GIVE ME YOUR JACKET???????”)

and sometimes vikings bought thralls and brought them home as well, and i mean, when your indentured service is up after however many years and you’re a free person again, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe it’s a bit hard to get all the way home across the continent, so you make the best out of the situation and you probably get married and raise a gaggle kids

so yeah

viking kingdoms/communities were not uniformly pure white aryan fantasy paradises, so pls stop using my cultural history and ethnic background to excuse your racist discomfort with black ppl playing heimdall and valkyrie

[shrewreadings]

Also we KNOW they got to Asia and Africa. 

Why?

Because Asians, Africans, and Vikings TOLD US SO. 

[note-a-bear]

Also, we know there was significant mercantile trade between Scandinavia and parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern India, Kashmir, North and Eastern Africa because there is evidence in burial sites.

Check that out: the goods Vikings and Scandinavians were getting from their trade with the rest of the world was so important they buried themselves with it, as part of their treasure hordes.

We KNOW this.

There’s a reason you can still see many of the trade routes from the ancient world etched into the very earth.

[prokopetz]

Plus, we know that some Scandinavian cultures that participated in Viking raids had established minority communities of ethnically Mongolian folks living among them during the periods when such raids were common, and it’s difficult to credit that none of them would have signed on.

Islamic Ring in Viking Grave

Vikings in Persia

Black Vikings

Vikings in North Africa

Buddha statue in Viking hoard

Vikings brought Native American woman to Europe

Unflattering texts in Arabic about Vikings

Original text by Ahmad ibn-Fadlan

More about the Islamic World and Vikings (some Vikings converted to Islam! sort of sketchy site tho)

Viking technology came from Afghanistan

More on trade route determination via metallurgy

… is that enough? :)

[queer-wizard-dad]

Yet another on the pile of reasons why it monumentally honks me off when pusillanimous, pseudointellectual white supremacist scum try to use Scandinavian culture as a crutch for their arguments and act like Norse mythology agrees with their biases. No it fucking doesn’t, bitch. Odin would personally kick you in the dick for being a witless coward and then send your ass to the Realm of the Dishonored Dead.

[armory-rasa]

I don’t usually reblog stuff, but this thread makes me so happy. See, I love the Viking aesthetic – I love the fusion of organic and geometric in its designs, I love the natural colors, the complexity of textures you get from juxtaposing metal/leather/cloth/fur–

–and I hate how the entire subculture has been so thoroughly co-opted by white supremacists. To the point where I, a person who likes viking stuff, am deeply and immediately suspect of anyone else who likes viking stuff, guilty until proven innocent, cuz that’s what the odds are these days.

Anyway.

As far as I’m concerned, anyone can be a viking, and thus I am so, so pleased to find that the historical record backs me up.

(And amused that Arab intellectual Ahmad ibn Fadlan was so thirsty for vikings.)

Some people have too much time on their hands. And, sometimes, when they do, something beautiful happens. This is one of those times.

Watching this made me physically feel like I’d just been chasing someone with answers for a quest through a series of alleys and they went through a door into a house and when I opened the same door to pursue them it was pitch black and I stumbled into the darkness for a moment before this guy appeared and I saw this video in a vision he gave me with his powers and when it ended I was standing alone in an empty room, my target long gone.

[cplbigsocks]

I never am prepared for the magnitude of this, no matter how much I think I am and/or how recently it's been since I've last seen it...
