A 6' 0" tall, pine skinned person with brown eyes, large ears and a softly shaped jaw. They have thick, light brown hair, have a large wound on their left cheek, and they have very long, messy sideburns. They are lost.
A fella I designed for a challenge me, @tiredtief and @river-birch did where we generated a description for a character and drew our interpretations of it! This was heavily inspired by these specific videos from Drawfee! So I made a forest troll!

– this whole - the dancing, singing, pole...raising. it is all rather ridiculous... 'midsummer'. i fail to... see the point of this human... invention. for once.
arvo's words were slurred, uneven - as if merely letting them past his lips was a great effort... this was, no doubt, influenced by the drink in his hand, resting on his stomach. folke, who had, in fact, brewed the alcohol that they were drinking, giggled - not exactly sober himself.
– i'm... the only human here, arvo. remember...
– no kraksi, or crakam, in sartrill, raises a huge, leafy pole for long summer days, that much i know.
– okay, haha - the pole thing... the pole thing is entirely human, probably. but... gullmar - tomtar, celebrate 'solvarvir' around the same time... trolls celebrate, uh... oh, curses, i'll butcher it... 'rawr - owa'... rawrr - oh wra? rawr... haha!
arvo opened one of his eyes slowly, fighting against some kind of weight that has, somehow, been set upon them - in order to look at the human beside him, still struggling to pronounce the foreign word correctly. a corner of the basilisk's lips twitched upwards.
– hm. nevermind what i said. there is a certain element of entertainment present, i suppose...
#oc#original character#fantasy#midsummer#illustration#art#i would tag midsommar but. i know theres the movie so dont think thatll be very useful...#folklore#fantasy art#oc art#pareidolia tag#oc: folke#oc: arvo#oc: selma#oc: klint#oc: adrian#oc: ylvarg#oc: gullmar#oc: faství#frida and håkan are there too but theyre so small LOL#this is a bit late for a midsummer illustration but whatever#(one day late. LOL)#i kinda wanna mmake it a THing to draw a silly midsummer drawing every year. thing is#will there be a year where im 100% happy with the illustration afterwards. bcs im not satisfied with this but. WHATEVER#shoutout to anyone who remembers the drawing i did last year........#in universe btw some swedish holidays were definitely infuenced by the tomte/human connection#things like midsummer probably came to independently but their traditions got mixed once humans and tomtar began to intermingle a bit#trolls have their own summer celebrations but they tend to be less “1 day” and more like “several weeks” in length#also. this pic is a post story pic...#which is why arvo is actually expressing his befuddlement with human customs

Imagine Otto going to Bruce’s restaurant to flirt with him, because surely this man won’t flirt back with him and get him flustered infront of his wife and kids right? Nope Bruce still reciprocates the flirting and Brandy joins in
I mean Brandys gotta be quite the charmer herself if she got the heartthrob to settle down right? The kids think this random fish man is pathetic
Bruce is flirting with Otto and Brandy is behind the counter like

shoutout to my 8th grade math teacher who was like a year before retirement, entered our classroom on the first day and went "i don't want to be teaching math" and then proceeded to talk about birds with us
we all sucked at maths that year but in retrospect i understand the man
#one time he stopped me and started a whole ass accusatory discussion with me bc my power metal band shirt had a dragon on it#and the wings were too small to support realistic flight#which is fair but also. it was a dragon#the other time he stopped me bc i was wearing a ride the lightning t shirt which had an elecrtic chair on it (as is on the album cover)#so he went onto a whole ass discussion about whether i support death penalty or not#and i was just standing there like bro i like the music T-T#and then there was that time he started discussing “swedish mountain trolls” with me#i forgot what prompted that one

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, pressed by the opposition and members of his own coalition, claimed on Wednesday to be taking very seriously accusations of a “troll farm”, allegedly run by the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) on whom his majority depends, despite the party denying any illegal activity. Kristersson of the Moderate Party (MP) has taken seriously the information from TV4 that the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) party is running a so-called “troll factory”. “These are serious accusations, and I take the whole situation seriously,” he told TV4 Nyheterna. “Especially when people and parties risk contributing to misinformation of various kinds. This applies regardless of who is behind it,” Kristersson said, adding that “All parties must stay away from that.” On TV4’s “Kalla Fakta” programme, which aired earlier this week, SD politician Julian Kroon admitted that the party had hired around 10 people to act as “online warriors” ahead of the 2018 general election. Their job, among other things, was to be visible on social media and “fight in comment sections”. “You could call it a troll factory,” Kroon told Kalla Fakta’s undercover reporter. All in all, the programme revealed that the SD’s communications department uses many anonymous accounts to spread social media content favourable to the far-right party.
