Urgent message to all norwegians:

[queenmeriadoc]

A little break, so here’s some of my art, based on a Norwegian tv program

Wait actually further on that "nisse" thing. So in Norwegian folk belief there's a common concept, called a couple different things:

«tuft», «tuftekall», «tomt», «gardsbonde», «godbonde», «haugebonde», «gardrud», «rudkall» «rundbonde» (via wikipedia)

now I won't claim to understand every name, but some of them are like adjective-farmer, and "rud" is a suffix used for farms that were abandoned after the Black death. (source: me, hi I'm Norwegian this is taught in like fourth grade)

variations include (via wikipedia)

fjøsnisse - fjøs: house for "fe" which means like, cows and similar, sheep, pigs etc. (google translate just lied to me so please tell me the English word)

skipsnisse - ships (boats)

kirkenisse - church

hagenisse - garden. (see also: cobolds, garden gnomes, dwarfs)

in Norwegian jul tv you'll find most fjøsnisser, such as in "jul i Blåfjell" (jul in Blue Mountain) - a jul calendar tv program. I think also most cozy jul books too, but please prove me wrong.

translations & equivalents include:

tomte - sweden

goblin, gnome - England

Wichtel, Heinzelmännchen, Kobold - Germany

jólasveinar - Iceland

Contexts of "Nisser" in Norway

national-romance, because the period was about making a national identity it's not surprising they pulled up with nisser. Ibsen wrote plays with them. (via wikipedia)

the era of enlightenment. Wergeland portrayed nisser as bigoted and ignorant, as opposed to elves. (via wikipedia)

(pagan/heathen¹) yule times (jul), from as early as year 900 in icelandic & Norwegian culture it was for example tradition to set out porridge with butter for nisser, if you didn't they'd be pissed. (via NRK)

1. I think it's pagan/heathen, though 900 was during the Christening of Norway (year 850-1100) (sources: store norske leksikon, norgeshistorie)

(and cause apparently it's not common knowledge, "christmas" (originally "jul" or "yule" (which it still is called in Norway today)) does originate in Norse mythology and Nordic tradition, with supernatural spirits and animal sacrifice (source: store norske leksikon), and beer (ref that NRK article)) (and no I don't care if you ""disagree"" with history unless you are an actual historian). (and I don't care about christian aspects of the holiday today, bother someone else).

Målet for dagen var Shibuya Blue Cave Illumination、青の洞窟

Det er absolutt sant at det var en fin blå opplysning, litt som jul i blåfjell? kanskje ikke helt da, men det ble veldig intenst syntes vi. Fikk nesten vondt i øynene etter hvert, og som forventet var folkemengden gedigen.

not to be norwegian on main, but i just found out the norwegian advent calendar tv series jul i blåfjell is airing again for the first time in 11 years, and they made it available to watch internationally, and i literally screamed in the car

[thesinglesock]

remember when we used to do awfully photoshopped Christmas Icons for december? I’ve got mine locked and loaded:

[yaytheboop]

You’re laughing. NRK finally has the license to stream Jul i Blåfjell which defined the childhoods and christmases of tons of norwegian kids, who are now crying because we love that show to much, and you’re laughing

jeg likte veldig godt den filmen om når dronning fjellrose var ung, relaterte så sykt til hu husker jeg når jeg så den på kino, ho var så livredd for å gå utenfor fjellet🙈😔 Nå er det lengesiden jeg har sett filmen...men som jeg husker det synes jeg den var bra💙❄️🗻husker ikke sånn veldig mye av handlinga, men jeg husker at ho møter en rødnisse som heter Dreng lol

Jeg så den i fjor! Den lå ute på NRK, men de fjernet den i februar elns - usikker på om de legger den ut i år også 🤔 Men ja, ar mye bedre enn jeg forventet ✨
