Please enjoy this meme I made about Freyr being a pothead
How i knew Freya saw me
This is a longer post. Please dont be rude. Everyone's spiritual journey looks different, and what happened for me may not be what happens for others.
I was born and raised Lutheran. For those of you who dont know, thags one of the flavors of Christianity, and the main one that stems from the Protestant Reformation. Lutherans follow the teaching of Martin Luther (in theory but thats mkre time and history and words having different meanings yadda yadda, thats for a different post), and my mom was the pastor at our church.
When I was a kid (like 2-4) I had an imaginary friend. Big Brother Michael. My mom and dad are convinced based of what I used to tell them about him, that he was the Archangel Michael. They explained later that they also got signs of Michael being around them when they were in seminary (pastor college) and explained he seemed to like our family.
Growing up, my dad always told me other cultural myths. He taught me that the first step to understanding a different culture is through their stories. When I was in 2nd grade (7 or 8), he got me a graphic novel called "Norse Myths," and i latched onto it like a barnacle to a ship.
When I was in my senior year of high school or my first year of college (i was 18-20), i had a vivid dream. I dont really remember dreams, and I still remember this one so clearly:
I was on this freeway, on an e-bike, and my bike broke. So I went to go explore the nearby town on the exit and saw a house that advertised e-bije repair. So I walked in, and the guy said he'd fix my bike for 100 bucks. While he fixed it, i explored the house. I remember the walls were painted a deep golden yellow, almost like yellow terracotta in Minecraft. There was a made, a little old woman, and she was talking to the guy before he went into his shop and she looked at me and her eyes got wide. I remember she came over to me and took my hand, and I felt it. Not dream me, **me**. I remember how her hand felt, cool and smooth and soft the way a grandmother's is, the joints round. She looked me in my eyes and saw me and all she said was "She's been looking for you". That's when I woke up.
I told my parents, and they encouraged meditation and looking inside. They were also bith very aware of negative entities and gave me basic self-protection stuff as I did these meditations.
The more I meditated and thought about it, the more signs I got. I saw more cats around my college campus (which wasn't super strange,we have lots of strays, but they stay away from students, and they kept showing themself to me), my mom kept giving me pieces of malachite and rose quartz saying she felt like they were for me, and even last year my own cat, Acorn.
When I asked if it was Freya, the overwhelming affirmative energy I got was strange and refreshing. I'd prayed to God and never felt any response, so a response that felt conversational was...exciting and scary. Id even told my parents that I wasnt reaching out to dieties because thats a good way to get catfished, and "just because im interested in the Norse gods doesnt mean they have to be interested in me". Growing up, I always loved stories that had Freya and the Vanir more than others, and the legend of her necklace, Brisingamen, was always my favorite. So much so I wrote a paper about it comparing it to the rising feminist movement.
I remember writing about how, in almost every story she's featured in that people know, she's used as currency, a reward for a job, a bargain chip, something coveted by men, and is given at the decision of another god, usually Odin. In the story of her necklace, its the one time it seems she decides that what she wants is worth the price of her body being asked, and when Odin finds out, he's furious. Even as an 8 year old, that was unfair to me.
The 2 things I asked Freya for, or for help finding, is marked by one of her runes. My partner is born under the Uruz rune and my cat under Thurisaz, both runes of Freyas aett.
Its just strange as someone who was raised where questions and prayers feel almost thrown to the abyss, to get responses and answers. I dont think anyone will read this far, I think I just needed to get this all down somewhere.

Your honor that's my mom
So as I fall into the hole that is Ted Lasso, I realized something. I'm still only on season one so bear with me.
Aside from the fact that I am definitely totally whole heartedly gay, and that Ted and Rebecca have many similarities to me and my girlfriend, I realized that Rebecca is mostly microexpressions unless something is big, and Ted is macroexpressions unless something is big.
Rebecca makes smaller expressions (my theory is because being mocked by Rupert or someone else for being "immature" or "childish" for big expressions) that you can see when Ted is talking about Henry's care package and again when Keeley expresses gratitude at her care about her and Jaime's breakup. She has noticeable expressions when doing press conferences and in public, but it's not real. The first big reaction you really get from her is Rupert and his crusty dusty balls that don't fire blanks miraculously, when she yells and then goes to Ted after.
Ted, by contrast, makes big faces: big smiles, big laughs, big voice. Where Rebecca is a sponge with large emotions, growing and expanding, Ted is more a shrinky dink, he gets smaller when there's big emotions. When he and Henry build legos, he's smiling but it's not as big and it's quieter. When Michelle tells him she's not happy and after when hes figuring out what to do to fix it, his expressions are quieter.
So here's what I think, having visited and lived in the southern US: it's more sociable to be loud and kind the way Ted is. It's how your "supposed" to behave to be polite. I think Ted gets quiet because it's the way he was taught (through direct teaching or observation) to be genuine. I think the opposite is true for England where it seems more socially acceptable to be "closed" in public and considered polite maybe, than with your family or people close to you, which is when Rebecca is "big".
If you have more information about societal norms for England or even London specifically, feel free to let me know how close or far I am from analyzing the behaviors! I'd love to know what yall think.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔
I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️🩹

At some point Giles stopped meaning "my watcher and "boss"" and started meaning "dad", and at some point Buffy stopped meaning "The Slayer and Chosen One" and started meaning "My Slayer and little girl"
Sometimes family is a British man, a techno pagan, a Slayer, a himbo, and a baby wiccan
Listen.
EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.
It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.
There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

For some reason I keep hearing people say “If I was in the dance I would be a noble lady from House *insert house* and I would get with *insert character*” or “I would support/fight for *insert team*”. Guys I'm being so for real, I'm avoiding that crap at all costs.
Me at the border of Dorne (cause they didn't get involved at all):
I like to think, in another life, Ser Barristan knew that Cerseis children were Jaime's, and (having been essentially Jaime's only good father figure) looks after Tommen and Myrcella as his own blood.
I think he'd try to watch Joffrey but I think k because Cersei lost her Baratheon baby so young she'd be extra clingy and possessive of Joffrey because ✨️trauma✨️, so he just takes care of the younger ones.
Alternatively, in a Braime world, he watches their children like a grandfather.
Mostly I'm here for Ser Barristan seeing 15 year old Jaime and going "Oh so I'm a father now. This is my son."
The actor plays a grandfather on Derry Girls on Netflix and I keep seeing him with the baby and being like "what if that was Ser Barristan with Jaime's kids".

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict
Like it's been said before that when Israelis and Zionists cry "why do you single out Israel?!", they should in fact be reminded that Israel singles itself out. I mean, who commits violence at this magnitude and then bemoans being the victim??
if I were to make a Sims family based on one of these which would you rather see? I'd try and record and upload to my YouTube
Brienne and Jaime (book based)
Kratos and Freya
Kratos and Freya ft. Step brother Baldur
Haymitch and Effie
Sif and Thor
Family Dynamic Sindris house
I also made a Freyr Playlist because I got bored. Enjoy!
Brilliant.
