Is this how you roll?
ever wanted to learn Old Norse but put off by how most resources expect you to have familiarity with Latin grammar?
The viking language series is designed for interested language learners without expecting them to have prior knowledge of other languages. These books use a word-frequency method that speeds up learning and is for students of all levels.
Beginners will be reading Old Norse texts from the first lesson, while advance students have ample vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation for improved fluency. It includes sections of viking history, literature, and myth with extensive maps throughout.
The second volume builds upon the first, and includes a reference grammar and a large vocabulary along with chapters on Eddic and skaldic poetry. Readings that immerse learners in the Old Norse world include complete sagas, runic inscriptions, myths, creation stories, and legends, Eddic poems tell about Scandinavian gods, monster-slayers, dwarves, giants, warrior kings, shieldmaidens, and Valkyries.
Order volume 1 and volume 2 online here, or ask your local bookstore about stocking our editions!
OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
What’s the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS
Does anyone know of non problematic resources to learn about the Norse Pantheon?
Hi! I have a page where I've collected vetted resources (books, websites, etc.) as well as my own insights/experiences.
I hope this is helpful: Heathenry 101

Hwæt! From the ashes of Fjorn’s Hall comes a new website for an old skáld—though that’s perhaps not the best phrasing because I don’t think I’m that old? Anyway…
I’ve rummaged through my archives, selected the ‘best’ stuffs, and plastered in on a new website. Most of the content is actually here on Tumblr, but I find it much easier to, well, find on the website. As of writing this, here’s what you’ll find there:
161 posts (230k words)
10 old podcast episodes (5.5 hours)
6 digital maps
7 academic papers (links to Academia.edu)
It’s pretty nice, I think? But it’ll need tweaking over time. This is just the (new) beginning. My next big plan is to reintroduce content from Fjorn’s Hall, which used to be blocked behind a paywall. I’m not interested in that anymore, so it’ll all be free and stay that way. That means we have ~45 videos coming over the next 45 weeks (because I’ll do 1 at a time to pace myself). Those videos will be posted on my YouTube channel but also shared to the website. So yeah, something to look forward to maybe? I hope so.
Let me know what you think. If something is janky, incorrect, or otherwise problematic…please let me know. I’m not perfect.
Many thanks for all the support and love over the years. I’ve had my ups and downs, but I’m very happy to be back :)

I think what fully won me over to Kylo Ren was the moment when Rey calls him a monster and he looks her straight in the face and says, without any hesitation, “Yes, I am.” He fully believes it, accepts it as pure fact. The sky is blue, water is wet, I am a monster. I connected hard, because I’ve been in that exact same position.
Children, especially sensitive children, have an uncanny knack for making everything into their own fault. If conflict occurs within their family, they find a way to blame themselves for it. Consider the amount of times that Ben Solo would have had to receive the wrong messages in order to be able to say “I am a monster” without a shred of doubt. Consider the number of times he’d have interpreted the actions of the adults (and peers) around him as “you are a monster” until he fully believed it.
You’re born with a “raw strength” nobody else has ever seen. You are a monster.
Your father is perturbed by you at best, frightened of you at worst. You are a monster.
Your parents constantly fight, and your father is constantly running away. You are a monster.
Your mother can no longer deal with you and juggle her job, and she chooses the job over you and ships you off to your uncle. You are a monster.
Your uncle begins acting suspicious of you during training, showing the same dark worry in his eyes as your father once did. You are a monster.
Your uncle becomes so frightened of you that he tries to kill you in your sleep. You are a monster.
You find out that your grandfather was Darth Vader, that this is genetic, that you have a monster in your veins that you can never escape. You are a monster.
You realise that this is why every adult in your life thus far has looked at you in fear: because they were looking at you and seeing Vader. You are a monster.
That one line, “Yes, I am,” delivered so resolutely, sums up exactly what broke Ben Solo.
This is an underrated post.
Idk if i've asked you this before, but would figures of characters from your works be possible or is it also a Netflix issue? I would pay an extremely unreasonable amount for a figure of the Angel from Midnight Mass
I would too, believe me. All of that is entirely up to Netflix. But on the short-run unofficial art side, if anyone was making custom figures, or custom Funko Pops or something, just for personal enjoyment, those are the kinds of things I'd hunt down to buy...

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)
