ask meme 9!

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

i have been to pretty much every country within a fairly broad radius around norway EXCEPT russia, which is not particularly tempting right now for,, you know,,, reasons.... though i WOULD love to visit someday in the future. eagle eyed audience members may also be aware that i'm currently living in sweden for a couple years, so i'm getting to know it whether i'd like to or not haha.

i really like iceland and finland! would love to explore finland some more, actually. and åland! i've only visited åland (a tiny island between sweden and finland) for a brief couple days, but i remember it being absolutely lovely. i would also like to visit svalbard someday, although that counts as part of norway.

Voici mon 70ème vlog (blog en vidéo) Je suis parti quelques jours au sud du Portugal J’ai passé quelques jours à Olhao Je te propose de découvrir et d’explorer avec moi la ville de Faro qui se trouve juste à coté (le lien de ma chaîne YouTube se trouve dans la description de ce compte Instagram) #voyage #voyages #exporation #explorer #découverte #visite #tourisme #travel #portugal #portugal🇵🇹 #algave #faro #faroportugal #riaformosa #vilaadentro #palacetebelmarco #eglisedescarmes #igrejadocarmo #capelladosossos (à Faro - Algarve, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CimXdXAL1BT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

People are so fucking weird about hunting, or any means of gathering meat that isn't invisible to them. I was writing about the Faroe Islands for work today and all the comments on every article I consulted was about how no one should go to the Faroe Islands because they kill whales.

And yes, I can see how the practice is horrifying to witness. They kill so many pilot whales at a time that the shore turns red. But it's also a thousand year old tradition and pilot whales are not considered endangered, or even under threat of becoming endangered. The meat harvested during this practice feeds locals for months.

And everybody writes about it like it's this barbaric thing and the people on the islands must be evil and no one should ever visit the Faroes because doing so supports these horrible barbaric people.

And I'm just like.... do you eat meat? Do you eat meat from the grocery store? Do you believe in boycotting every country that participates in factory farming? If you do, then props for being consistent, but most people don't. The people commenting on how horrible the Faroese people are for doing this are going home and eating hamburgers and hotdogs and would never in a million years suggest boycotting any country that does such things.

I'm not saying the whale hunting isn't frightening to look at, or is 100% morally pure, I just think way too many Europeans and North Americans are very, very quick to judge less common cultures for how they get their meat. And it's incredibly hypocritical.

Faroese woman and girls, Faroe Islands, by Visit Faroe Islands

[netmors]

STAR WARS: Eleventh Fleet AU

A short comic about how, among the stories of Chiss navigators, a new “hero” appeared + a lot of braids.

Commodore Faro, as the Grand Admiral's right-hand man, was able to visit rescued ozyly-esehembo (Force-sensitive Chiss navigators) while they were aboard the Chimaera.

Unlike Vader, who instills genuine horror in the girls, and Thrawn, who was almost at the level of a living legend for the children, Karyn seemed to them… simply interesting. Unusual. And very similar to one strange alien who arrived in Ascendency a year ago.

Commodore is actually very good with children, but doesn't admit this fact.

P.S. Faro and one of the navigators communicate in sy bisti. The girl was taught this by a pilot who served for some time on her ship, and Karyn was taught by Eli. The rest only know cheun. But this doesn't stop them from giving the woman a “new” name.

Don’t think about Bella, a few months along, visiting department stores and sorting through the available patterns of baby clothes.

Don’t imagine her comparing swatches of fabric, testing the weave and the softness and the color to find something perfect for her baby. Don’t imagine the hours she spends sewing seams and fastening buttons, making outfits far larger than what a newborn might wear: dresses that would fit a two month old, a six month old, a year, two; a whole collection of outfits for her darling daughter because somehow she just knows it’s a girl. Don’t imagine her going to Arthur and showing him the clothes she’s made with tender love and care and perhaps just a prickle of fear. Don’t imagine Arthur’s uneasy smile and simple compliment, because even if he may not love her—even if he hasn’t quite decided to leave her just yet—he has to act like it, and this is the least he can do. She smiles back.

Don’t imagine Arthur, newly widowed, coming home with Faroe and bundling her up in the clothes her mother had worked so hard to make. Don’t imagine his twinge of guilt each time he can’t bring himself to do up all those delicate hand-sewn buttons and hands her off to Tess instead. Don’t imagine that after Faroe is dead and gone and buried, the clothes still linger, sitting prettily and untouched in their drawers until the moths get to them and what remains is left behind for Daniel to collect when Arthur finally leaves Boston.

Don’t imagine Daniel’s eyes and hands, teary and calloused, as he holds the clothes his daughter made and granddaughter wore, or his remorse and anger at things he can no longer change. Don’t imagine him tucking the scraps of fabric safely into a box below the stairs, folding each with care while he thumbs over the ragged moth-eaten holes, and mentally making note to find someone, another seamstress maybe, to patch them up. He never does.

Wait! I just got a banger Faroeverse idea. Faroe is in an unhappy, old fashioned marriage. She gets a book delivered to her house, and Jane Doe causes her to kill her best friend who was visiting Penny Yang. Eddie in this version is her misogynist husband, who she murders. She also continues to be a pro women's rights activist and just a general girl boss the remainder of the podcast. Pro Faroe Mariticide

[samglyph]

So I had two ideas for todays prompt from malevoween and one was spooky and one was sad and I went sad, uh, I have this idea in my head that John, especially after episodes 24-26 because Jesus Christ, Arthur, encourages Arthur to visit faroe. Wants to meet her so to speak. They read her poetry and tell her about the nicer parts of the dreamlands as part of Arthur’s journey towards healing.

To account for my schedule I’m only going to be doing small sketches for these prompts (and I’m not committing to all of them), so expect this to be the general level of polish for any other ones I do for this list.

Hi, I just wanted to make sure if you're okay? You used to post fics so regularly and now you're so quiet. I hope you're doing fine and are just busy with real life stuff?!

Hi, and thank you for checking in as well as your kind words. Same to the two lovely anons who sent me love. Thank you.

A very Happy Lucia to you and everyone who celebrates, or who could do with a bit more light in their life. (physical or metaphorical)

I'm sorry for being so quiet recently. I assure you I'll be back and that all my wips and outlines will be finished. (yes even Ghost!Erik, although I'm not making any promises as to when)

I'm as enthusiastic about YR and Wilmon as I was a year ago and I doubt that's going to change anytime soon. It's just that the holiday season has hit me harder than I hoped it would, and so my writing time has been mostly taken up by blankly staring at the screen and then being surprised when the alarm goes off an hour or two later.

It's the first time in eight years that I'm celebrating without my soulmate, and missing them and our two angels is especially hard right now.

I have a very active support network though and I know things will get better. Right now I'm just ... super lonely while at the same time being surrounded by too many people who mean a bit too well.

On a happier note I'm over 15k into the final chapter of Faroe Gone and still in Tórshavn, with only about 1k being stuff from the outline, so it's going to be a very, very long final chapter.

Also the next chapter of ALaWHEO has theoretically reached posting length about a month ago, but I really want them to actually get inside the palace and not just have a 4k car ride where nothing happens. So uh ... yeah.

Also, also I've been valiantly resisting the urge to write Kings Wilmon's first state visit to movie-rwrb's London snippets. It would be a good distraction, but also I'm not sure it would be any other levels of good. I haven't even finished reading the book.

Also, also, also my muse insists it'd have to be Phillip and James III's pov, and I suspect that'd top even The Getaway's level of self-indulgence, if that's even possible.

Anyway. Happy Lucia. I promise I'll be back, although no promise as to when. All the best! 💜🧡

I have a fun little theory that in the 6 season of malevolent John and Arthur are going to do their own Spiderverse and go hopping through different dimensions, trying to stop Kayne

There are a lot of details that indicate some kind of journey into different dimensions (just in general whole Kayne speech+Darkthur) but all I want is for John and Arthur to go into universe where its just basically coffee shop au

John works as barista in a coffee shop that Arthur often visits with Parker or Faroe. King in Yellow is the owner and he is a bitch. Yellow is another barista there. Kayne is an art student who doesn't let John do his job

Anyway, I think it would be funny if our John and Arthur stumbles upon the universe where the biggest problem is the broken coffee machine

Beautiful Faroese horse @skessafo wearing traditional Leypur (back baskets). They were a multipurpose work horse, transporting peat, seaweed, manure etc in Leypur like these (as well as being ridden). Leypur are similar to the creels and klibbers used with UK natives like the Shetland and Eriskay pony. I love seeing how the idea is the same but the form slightly different - it really shows the shared cultural horse heritage between the Faroe Islands and the British Isles. Sadly there are only around 86 Faroese horses left in the world making them one of the rarest horse breeds alive today. They are thought to have been brought to the islands by Norse settlers. Some of these Norse settlers travelled via the British Isles on their way to Iceland (the Faroe Islands being between Britain and Iceland). This is why the British Atlantic breeds like the Eriskay and Shetland pony are closely related and physically similar to the Faroese horse and Icelandic horse. The Faroese horse is a little bigger than a Shetland, but the have the bodies of small horses rather than ponies. The Faroese horse was once vital to life on the Faroe Islands. Now they face extinction. This is a shared story between many of the rare breeds around the world. The Faroese horse struggles for demand - there are not enough horses being born and not enough people on the Faroe Islands with the space or means to own them. There is a demand for them abroad, but sadly exporting is not possible by law as horses need a passport to travel. There is currently no passport issuing organisation for them. This means that they can only exist in the Faroe Islands where owners are hugely limited by land and resources. This passport dilemma is a Government issue and endangering these horses. It is a very real possibility they will become extinct soon if things do not change.
