Any horror movies you guys could recommend to me? I’ve seen The Thing 1982 and The Exorcist and they were both pretty good, got any more?

Alright, jackass. Let me break it down further for you.

You have presented me with a THEORY. Something you THINK is true, but it isn’t verifiably true, even if it’s possible.

FACTS are things that ARE verifiably true.

If one of the Eddas said “Hey, Gullveig and Angrboða are the same person and she’s the lady whose heart Loki ate”, that would be a FACT.

But did the Eddas say that?

NO.

I asked you for FACTS and you gave me THEORIES, which is a big no-no in academic discussions. If I wanted THEORIES, I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR THEM.

In trying to pass your THEORY off as a FACT, you have committed the social faux pas known to scholars as “Talking Out of One’s Ass”, which is a very big and very bad no-no of epic proportions.

Alongside that, you have the winning personality of a rabid alley cat that’s pretending it wasn’t caught by a TNR program, which is a sin I cannot forgive.

If you have any questions, see me tomorrow after class.

I get that the popularized depiction of Loki is a refined, sleek and elegant socialite/queercoded* pompous rich bitch who thinks too highly of himself, even outside the influence of Marvel, but the more I learn about Norse mythology, the more I'm convinced that the opposite is true.

*When I say queercoded, think of the Hays code.

[randomtheidiot]

First off, drop the attitude.

Second, you haven’t actually given me anything to work off of. I’ve read this poem already, and it supports exactly none of your claims.

This is an English translation of the poem. It is two stanzas long and extremely easy to find. It does not mention anyone’s name aside from Loki’s. Gullveig and Angrboða are both absent from this poem, and I’m pretty sure that Gullveig’s one of the Vanir, anyways, seeing as her many deaths incited the Æsir-Vanir war. It’s impossible for her and Angrboða to be the same person since Angrboða's a Jötunn woman, and while Gullveig definitely fits the description of a dead sorceress, she definitely didn’t give have a bunch of ogre babies. That would be Ymir.

Therefore, if you really want to play around with theories, the most likely explanation is that Loki ate Ymir’s heart, which is a truly horrifying visual, considering that the entire world was woven from their eyebrows.

However, we will never know because it wasn’t written down.

Naturally, your tags confirmed that this was just a headcanon of yours long before I even started writing.

Little word of advice: YOUR PERSONAL THEORIES ARE NOT OBJECTIVE FACT. TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE IS LYING.

I’m not mad at you, but don’t tell lies like this again. Especially not regarding academic subjects like this.

[randomtheidiot]

Give me an excerpt from either Eddas, or at the very least, the name of the story that conflates Gullveig with Angrboða. Translated is fine, but if you can, add the Norse version alongside it. I won’t accept anything else.

[randomtheidiot]

That’s a nice theory, but there are zero written sources that say that. In the nicest way possible, I don’t think that’s true.

Figures that it’d be named after fucking France.

sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium

(posting performatively for mutual #1) my thing about the dracula found footage microgenre is that i honestly just don’t think it does enough to utilize the obvious themes of marginalization in the age of social media (posting performatively for mutual #2) everyone has at least one oc who no doubles kins komaeda (posting performatively for mutual #3) Welcome back to spider-man infertility thursday (posting performatively for mutual #4) This week I’ve been setting up a gallery page on my neocities with better load times and i really like how it’s coming along!

OH THIS IS JUST BULLSHIT.

So YouTube just recently announced that beginning on August 13, AI will be rolled out into the US to verify if teens are actually underaged. This new update will detect whatever content you watch, and if you are under the age of consent, then YT will lock your account unless you can show your government ID, a selfie, or your credit card. Not only that, it will strip you of personalized ads, restrict certain channels based on your age, and many more.

This is actual BULLSHIT. Excuse my French, but I have EVERY RIGHT to say it out loud. This update has actively harmed those in Australia and the UK, and when this update comes to the US, underaged YouTubers will be at a gargantuan disadvantage. They say it’s for the protection of kids everywhere - when in reality, this new feature will wreck the foundation of several creators, including myself (I’m 15, btw, and I’m pushing 16 by this October). Even worse, they have an entire app literally called YouTube Kids, and yet they neglect it in favor of screwing over their creators. I like YouTube, but this is just repulsive; I even have a new video I’m working on, and if I upload it past Aug. 13 it’ll already be too late. With this new update is right around the corner, take my advice: STAND. YOUR. GROUND.

Go onto any social media platform and spread the word of this update and how it’ll further tarnish YouTube’s reputation. Mass download as many videos as you can. Critique them with emails at how petty and intrusive this will be. Hell, don’t even use YouTube AT ALL starting on August 13 and find any other video-watching site that lacks AI age verification. At that point, you are proving that you are not willing to bow down to big private companies cracking down on what type of people use YouTube. We choose what we want to watch, not YouTube.

Do your part and just do NOT let unnecessary censorship take control of all these social media platforms.

Nope. Lost her in the divorce.

If [tumblr] dies you can find me bound to a rock with my own son’s entrails, gagged and blinded by snake venom until I break free and bring about the end times as the prophecies of Ragnarök foretold.

You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit
