Magnus: if we put Gunilla and Alex in a room together, who would come out crying first?

Samirah: the room

My mom and I had s pact-which sounds creepy, but it really wasn't. She made me promise that when she died, I'd have her cremated. I'd scatter her ashes in the woods of the blue hills. If I died first she would do the same for me. Neither of us liked the idea of being embalmed, turned into some chemically stabilized exhibition, then buried in a box. We wanted to be in the sunshine and the fresh air and just kind of dissolve. I hadn't been able to keep my promise to my mother. Now I was getting exactly the kind of funeral I didn't want. My eyes watered. "I'm sorry, Mom."

Another one? They let anyone in nowadays…

Speaking from the person that is returning after the fact that I got here. It’s even worse cause you actually died fighting Surt, someone who has been almost laughably easy to distract and kill. Crazy, You actually think you have the right to look down your crooked ass nose at me?

Magnus Chase OC Time!!! They're valkaries except Diklah who already had a post so this doubles as a Valkyrie post :)

Monika Leitner and Saoirse Mac Ghabhann!

Monika was born in 1919 to a German daughter of Bragi in the Rheinland. Her dad was an Algerian man who fought in the French army and was sent home soon after Monika and her twin brother were concieved. She died in 1936 in a street fight against some local boys. She easily gets tired, especially of explaining her world, and can be a bit crass, but she's actually a sweetie with a great sense of humor and filled with jokes. Her relationships with canon characters are as follows: she's friends with TJ, and they helped her a lot on her hair journey. They're t4t found family realness. Monika is head over heals for Gunilla. At first she thought "I can fix her!" Now she thinks "I've fixed her 😊" but she did not lmaooo. She also has a found family relationship with Samirah, who she's constantly defending. Also she's Diklah's valkyrie.

Saoirse very much has eldest daughter syndrome. She was born in 1907 and is a perfectionist in the extreme. She's constantly taking charge and if you're doing anything slightly wrong she'll do it for you. She doesn't mean to be like this, but she gets stressed easily and thinks it will help. It doesn't. She's extremely protective of anyone and everyone, a fact that's gotten her killed a few times. In 1925 she tried to rebel by becoming a flapper, and died three years later breaking up a bar fight. She was Mallory's valkyrie.

Here's Gunilla and Sam!

All the valkyries call Gunilla the Ice Queen. The younger ones tend to do it as a compliment and out of intimidation. The older ones do it mockingly. They aren't afraid of her. Monika says it like a simp.

Samirah is a transfemme nonbinary lesbian and her family are #allies. Also they don't shorten their name because the Americans can deal with it and is dating Mallory

Gunilla: no way congress just said that…

Samirah: what? what did they say?

Gunilla: THEY SAID YOU A BITCH

[silvaradragontear]

My only thought is a big No! I started to hum Björn Rosenströms song Gunilla just to save my sanity. I tried to escape by taking a bathroombreak but apparently the break was not long enough.

Dwarf tradition, in The Truth. Long quote but there is so much to unpack here.

"A dwarf needs gold to get married." "What… like a dowry? But I thought dwarfs didn't differentiate between--" "No, no, the two dwarfs getting married each buy the other dwarf off their parents." "Buy?" said William. "How can you buy people?" "See? Cultural misunderstanding once again, lad. It costs a lot of money to raise a young dwarf to marriageable age. Food, clothes, chain mail… it all adds up over the years. It needs repaying. After all, the other dwarf is getting a valuable commodity. And it has to be paid for in gold. That's traditional. Or gems. They're fine, too. You must've heard our saying 'worth his weight in gold'? Of course, if a dwarf's been working for his parents, that gets taken into account on the other side of the ledger. Why, a dwarf who's left off marrying till late in life is probably owed quite a tidy sum in wages—You're still looking at me in that funny way…" "It's just that we don't do it like that…" mumbled William. Goodmountain gave him a sharp look. "Don't you, now?" he said. "Really? What do you use instead, then?" "Er… gratitude, I suppose," said William. He wanted this conversation to stop, right now. It was heading out over thin ice. "And how's that calculated?" "Well… it isn't, as such…" "Doesn't that cause problems?" "Sometimes." "Ah. Well, we know about gratitude, too. But our way means the couple start their new lives in a state of… g'daraka… er, free, unencumbered, new dwarfs. Then their parents might well give them a huge wedding present, much bigger than the dowry. But it is between dwarf and dwarf, out of love and respect, not between debtor and creditor… though I have to say these human words are not really the best was of describing it. It works for us. It has worked for a thousand years." "I suppose to a human it sounds a bit… chilly," said William. Goodmountain gave him another studied look. "You mean by comparison to the warm and wonderful ways humans conduct their affairs?" he said. "You don't have to answer that one. Anyway, me and Boddony want to open up a mine together, and we're expensive dwarfs. We know how to work lead, so we thought a year or two of this would see us right." "You're getting married?" "We want to," said Goodmountain. "Oh… well, congratulations," said William. He knew enough not to comment on the fact that both dwarfs looked like small barbarian warriors with long beards. All traditional dwarfs looked like that.* *Most dwarfs were still referred to as "he" as well, even when they were getting married. It was generally assumed that somewhere under all that chain mail one of them was female and that both of them knew which one this was. But the whole subject of sex was one that traditionally minded dwarfs did not discuss, perhaps out of modesty, possibly because it didn't interest them very much, and certainly because they took the view that what two dwarfs decided to do together was entirely their own business. — Terry Pratchett, The Truth

I super love the footnote, of course, but unexpectedly now I kind of want this version of a dowry to be a thing. I mean, the dowries of the bad old days where the man basically bought the woman from her parents, that's not okay. But this.

I'm a parent, and in no way do I feel like my kid owes me for their upbringing, education, or even (I'm anticipating) a few years of post-college living at home. Not at all. I can't imagine not taking care of them or attaching any strings to that care.

But that's not what this is. Really, ideally, it's a way for parents and children to give each other the gift of the child's independence, their autonomy, their adulthood. To officially and tangibly say that their relationship from this point on is no longer parent/child, but something more on an equal level.

For that matter, I imagine the child is free not to have a relationship with their parents any more at all, if they want. No obligation, no guilt. If parents want to be in their kids' lives when they're adults, they'll need to make sure their kids actually like them as people.

Well. I know that our world of humans doesn't work like this. Even if we put a monetary value on what we owed our parents and paid it, we'd still feel obligated to them, at least a little. Even if our kids paid us back, we'd still feel like we had the right to control them, at least a little.

But man. That g'daraka thing sounds wonderful.
