Fuck it. I'm going to find some good resources to learn Old Norse. Maybe for once I'll actually follow through on something

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head.

the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance.

toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

✨🌿🍄 Meet the Shacklings 🍄🌿✨

I haven't counted exactly yet, but there are a few dozen stories of these little huts in my new book. Would you like to meet a few of them?

You can help create more weird little stories! Join the fun:

Graphite drawing of a chicken-legged Baba Yaga hut with an eyeball over the door and a little stone stovepipe. Text below reads, "This hut was an independent Shackling. They would spend most of the afternoon alone, dozing in the squash leaves or nibbling at my cucumbers. In the evenings, though, they would come in to sit by the hearth and help me spin yarn. I'd sneak them little pieces of pickled vegetables when the others weren't looking.

I also can't decide whether I want to stay accurate to the original linework or alter it a bit to be more like a woodcut print so it's slightly more dynamic and visually interesting as a tattoo

Did my best to recreate some linework from two pages of the 14th century Pearl Manuscript which is the source for the story 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. I want to get one of these designs as a tattoo but I'm not sure which one
