LILIENNE, THE NET PICKER - "Isn't it strange," she breaks the silence abruptly, "For this all-powerful thing, the sun... to be so generous towards us? You know, the best time to go out fishing is usually toward sunset, when the water is warmer..."

The @palestaticexchange is back and I couldn't pass up participating in it again. So here is my art of the Kim Kitsuragi for @siliconesausage :]

Happy Midsummer lovelies <3

All of them are acting like you’d expect them to according to Scandinavian folklore: The gullible troll, the flirty huldrakarl, the suspicious gnome, the untrustworthy mermaid, and the creepy åmand (stream man or man of the stream)

Additional info: Trolls in Scandinavian folklore aren’t big dumb monsters but more like strong, less bright people of the woods/mountains. Huldrakarl is the less famous male version of the huldra. Gnomes are house spirits who help and protect the family they live with and are often the first to notice if something is off. Scandinavian mermaids are specifically said to have huge breasts which they use to lure sailors to their deaths. Though they’re often confused for each other Åmand is different from Näcken because more often than not he’s only heard but never seen, and will usually loudly announce that he plans to take a life days or even weeks before someone drowns in his waters.

And I just realized there are a lot of creatures with weird tails in Scandinavian folklore…
