THIS IS SO FUNNY I'M SORRY

[scienceskink]

I will find you in every life (threat)

I am forever fascinated by the arms race between coelurosaurs and ceratopsians. Among the most famous rivals in palaeomedia growing up was Velociraptor and Protoceratops, Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, and of course I had to add two of my faves, Gorgosaurus and Styracosaurus!

Long time followers may recognise the bottom two skulls as art I have made previously, fun fact I have been sitting on this idea for a little over two years!

ive been repeating this in my head all week. auntie likes wearing the strap…….

[concerningwolves]

god i love viking bynames. some are all poetic or dramatic like Harald Fairhair or Orm the Old and then sometimes there will be a guy called. Butter-Box

[concerningwolves]

i am not even slightly exaggerating either

[Thorvald Hollow-Throat] came from a long line of individuals with excellent nicknames, being the grandchild of Bjorn Butter-Box, the great-grandchild of Hroald Spine, the great-great-grandchild of Bjorn Ironside and the great-great-great-grandchild of Ragnar Hairy-Breeches

[concerningwolves]

More Norse Viking bynames that delight me (all taken from Embers of the Hands):

Ulf the Quarrelsome: A guy known for brutally murdering someone in Njal's Saga. Lovely use of understatement.

Alli the Pale: imagine living in Scandinavia, where people are generally Rather Pale, and still being markedly pale enough that it becomes your defining feature. (perhaps a historical occurrence of albinism?)

Harald Tanglehair: original nickname of Harald Fairhair. he apparently swore to never brush his hair until he had all of Norway under his rule. real shame for him that he lived before the invention of modern hair conditioners and detanglers 😔

Ulf the Crow: yes, this one is cool as fuck. It also means "Wolf the Crow". Dude's parents named him after a wolf at birth but everyone around him went "actually, you're more of a crow." Reverse nominative determinism.

And, the best of them all:

Asmund Wiggle Arse

[concerningwolves]

Asmund Wiggle Arse makes me laugh extra hard because his first name means "God protector" so I keep thinking of him as "Protector of the gods, wiggler of the arse". and this phrase has been randomly looping around in my head since yesterday morning

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

it's sad to me that cis people never apply their "loved one with a wanted-pregnancy" script to medical transition. like cis people often indicate they don't know how to react to hearing about medical transition, but a huge portion of that social script is directly applicable.

tell someone "congratulations!" tell them "I'm so happy for you. I know you've been trying for a really long time." ask them "do you need help with anything?" throw them a party with loved ones where you all give them some gifts in acknowledgement of how expensive it is. celebrate how far along they are. take photos with them so they have a record of being loved while their body changes. allow them to voice fears and doubts and anxieties about how it'll go, and reassure them that they'll get through the intense medical procedure coming up & you'll be there for support no matter what. let them tell you about the gross parts and laugh together. really listen to them when they talk about how amazing and profound it is that the human body can do this. share in their excitement for beginning a new stage of their life.

If there are complications, comfort them and help them navigate what's next. If they lose access suddenly due to finances or criminalization, treat it like a miscarriage and hold them while they grieve.
