Northerners mocking Southerners for not dealing well with a huge snow storm

Southerners mocking Northerners back after they get a storm with wind with hurricane strength

Everyone else in Norway being baffled after absolute legend trønder Åge Aleksandersen sells out a football stadium for his last ever concert in september 2025 within 10 minutes and then selling out the extra concert in 4 minutes with over 20 000 people still waiting in line and not getting a ticket

More Fucking Grammar

Note: knulle/pule only refer to the actions and aren't really used as random expletives the way we might use 'fuck' or 'fucking' in English:

If you stubbed your toe, you'd probably shout "faen!" (lit. "devil") or maybe "fy faen!" for extra emphasis (you can use "fy søren" as a euphamism if you're in more polite company)

If you want to use it as an intensifier (e.g. "that was fucking tiring), you'd probably use "jævlig" ("det var jævlig slitsomt") although I believe it's okay to use "jævla" too (don't quote me on that)

If you want to use it as an adjective ("you fucking idiot!") you would use either "jævlig" or "jævla" ("din jævla tosk!") Jævla is more like... you fucking IDIOT, whereas jævlig is more like... you're a shit person and also an idiot? I think?? That's the nuance I get anyway.

You can also just use "jævlig" on its own ("det var helt jævlig" = that was fucking awful, "du ser jævlig ut" = you look like shit)

If you're at an advanced enough level to read articles in Norwegian, you can read more about the nuances between jævla and jævlig here.

The Germanic family!

This is an NRS OC made for my longtime patron, Javier. Having been a patron of mine for years, I decided to give him a little extra price, that is usually a higher tier award.

This, little yellow Levahn diesel is named Sulis after the mines they worked in. After the mine shut down in 1991, they were stuck underground along with several other mining engines until 2011 when it was decided that they were going to be brought to the surface and repaired. They are now among the engines that pulls tourists and visitors inside the mines during tourist season. Sulis is non-binary. They are also fairly small and has a few dents and imperfections after a rough life inside the mines. Questions about personality and other things needs to be directed to Javier as it is up to him to decide. Hope you like it, Javier! If not, you can give it to someone else, just make sure they get a nice, loving home. ;-)

NB: All NRS OCs runs a risk of getting a cameo in the books... especially if based on real engines at Norwegian railways, like this one. There will be a mention of the Sulitjelma mines in book 4, so who knows... maybe Sulis will peek in? ;-)
