BMO Sings the Norns

Ok so I just came across something really neat :>

I was watching This Video by Professor Jackson Crawford on the Norns, and in it he explains the NAMES of the Norns, which is something I’ve never encountered before. You can watch the video obvsl but tl;dr:

Skuld: “Should, Debt, Ought to Happen”

Verdandi: “Happening, Becoming”

Urdr: “Has Happened, Has Become”

idk the rest of the content of the vid cuz when I heard this I stopped to write this post IMMEDIATELY

ANYWAY: Why is this Really Neat?

THE FINALE SONG FROM ADVENTURE TIME: WILL HAPPEN, HAPPENING, HAPPENED!!!

THAT’S THE FUCKING NAMES OF FATE!!! Intentional or no, this wonderful songweapon from the last episode of an excellent series weaves friendship and love into the concept of Mythic Fate down to its very wordbones -encompassing and crystalizing in the process the persistent tonal themes of the show itself- and I think that’s very Mathematical of it uvu uvu uvu

spider troll hot tho

She kinda made a Hash of things though, her advice was usually pretty bad when you stopped to think about it, and she showed absolutely zero regard for Jake’s consent&autonomy with the stuff she put him through, and it was a running joke that she would derail any discussion into a long lecture on gossip, rumors, and sex, regardless of how important her original subject was, and to questionable utility(though she’d do this with the utmost grace and civility, no doubt).

I mean: Aranea’s a great character in allot of ways, including a wonderful character design(we dont get many evil retro librarians in fiction; Im looking at you The Magicians TV Show. You THINK you’re slick, but you’re NOT! I Know your Unspoken Shame! I KNOW!!), and I Lurv Hur u_u u_u u_u, but in also allot of ways she’s kind of a crap person :T
