My mother’s phone lock screen, right this very minute, is a selfie I took two weeks ago while wearing this scarf knot.

This is my favorite way to tie a scarf, actually. Very secure, very warm.

In Mario Kart 64, there is a hidden second version of the results theme. After playing for 64 loops (over 50 minutes), the music changes to an alternative loop before restarting. This example starts with one standard loop and changes 50 seconds in.

so if there’s one single trope i’m always down to fight it’s the animal bride (folklore motif 402??) which a lot of you are probably familiar with as the selkie - the fisherman either falls in love, steals her skin to trap her on land/gain power over her, or they fall in love and THEN he steals her skin to keep her from leaving, and either way she spends a lot of time gazing sadly out to sea and then she or her child finds the skin and never returns again.
and that’s awful on a whole lot of levels - it’s not love, it’s control.

BUT. but the thing is. you how selkies/seal women was a pretty common variation of this? another really popular one was swans.

i just want you to think about that for a moment. swans. like…I get it, they’re pretty, graceful birds, certainly it’s easy to imagine them magically becoming pretty graceful ladies? but have you ever fought a swan. swans are awful. swans are the devil’s geese. imagine seeing a pretty magic lady and being absolutely enchanted by her, and stealing her magic feather cloak, and then you go up and say ‘hey i’m in love with you, let me make you my queen, it will be great, we’ll be so happy’ and she just looks at you for a moment and…

you know i was going to say maybe she just shouts for her sisters and suddenly you’re realizing you’ve made a terrible terrible mistake bc you’re surrounded by big fucking birds who are all hissing. but honestly if this swan lady is as aggressively down to brawl as any other generally unhappy swan, then she’d straight up fuck you up on her own. she’d just deck you roundhouse, honestly. you don’t fuck with swans. why does this trope exist

[roachpatrol]

okay but consider this: a woman walks to the park every day and feeds the swans and watches them paddle gracefully around the lake, sighing to see how beautifully they swim. 

finally one day, a swan comes up to her and says ‘why don’t you come and swim with us? you always sigh so wistfully to see us on the water, and you would be most welcome to join our company, for you have always been a true friend to our kind’

and the woman says, ‘i can’t swim’

and the swan says, ‘we’ll teach you’

and the woman says, ‘literally i can’t swim, my husband stole my sealskin and should i venture into deep water i would surely drown’ 

and the swan says ‘your husband fucking WHAT’

the next morning the woman’s front yard looks like this. 

and neither the woman nor her husband are ever heard from again, though for very different reasons.

A doggie’s long walk, 7000 years ago

As I discussed in a post on the ‘King of Stonehenge’ many moons ago (see http://bit.ly/2gPIo6Y) teeth uncovered in archaeological digs are able to tell us important tales, including where people or animals grew up and what foods were predominant in their diet. An exciting site near the long lived sacred landscape around Stonehenge (active from at least 7,000 to 3,500 years ago) called Blick Mead that seems to have been a long term encampment has provided poignant evidence for a 375km journey undertaken by a dog, presumably accompanying its master for some long forgotten purpose.
