Hey, so a bit of a story. I ran out of fairy tales I could tell my little cousin before bed, so I told him the story of how Vash defeated a storm. Now he loves it and is obsessed with Vash, to the point that when he got a new puppy he named him Vash.

Say hi to Vash

OH MY GOD

you can ignore this but your post mentioned punk in the soviet union and i think it would rly benefit tumblr ppl to know more about that. its a perfect example of punk being purely reactionary. bc most of us only have the context in western countries, people dont realize how strongly anti-fascist the USSR was, and when punk started to rise, since its whole thing is Go Against The System (regardless of what the system stands for) that means countless youth buying up nazi helmets and other paraphernalia from ww2. especially in the 90s when the union started falling apart. bc that was the most controversial thing they could do and punk is basically just about being controversial.

my parents had some history books they brought with us when we moved so that's where i first read about soviet/russian punks as a kid and was my first impression of "punk culture". didnt really come across the canadian/american idea of punk until much, much later (high school age). just another reminder that this is an international website and the american experience is not universal. (i know american punk has lots of nazis too but i can only comment on what i have experience with. that comments directed at anyone who's trying to "educate" you on what punk is and isnt)

Idea: we somehow train the jackdaws from last year to retrieve the straw from the goat, piece by piece, and then bring it to an undisclosed location. As we gather the straw, we use it to construct our OWN Gävlebocken, which also THE Gävlebocken. Once construction is almost complete, we begin a competing livestream. We nominate a spokesperson to go on the livestream and deliver a villain-style monologue about how the goat must burn. As they begin their speech, you can see on the original live as a jackdaw steals the last bit of straw and flies away, and it ends with the same jackdaw flying onto OUR livestream, dropping the straw into the hand of the monologuer, who then ceremoniously tucks it into the goat. They then walk towards the camera and raise their arms, and as they do, a jackdaw drops a lit match into the straw, and the goat goes up in flames. Exactly two people will watch our livestream, neither of which speak any Swedish or are familiar with the goat, but it will be discovered when the YouTube algorithm picks it up in two years and shows it to everyone. Controversy erupts around the authenticity of the livestream. Video essays and deep dives and icebergs are made. Investigative journalists struggle to find the true story behind all the internet lore that has now been built. The internal editor drama on Wikipedia has never been more intense. Though all of this, we wait. We bide our time. Then, just as people begin to lose interest, we use the channel to post a single video. All it is is ten seconds of a black screen with coordinates on it. People scramble to be the first to get there, and when someone finally does, they find nothing but an empty, snowy clearing. Disappointed, they kick at the snow, and their toe hits something hard. They bend down and unbury it, slowly unearthing what forensics will soon confirm is one of the two-by-fours that had been stolen by a flock of very buff, very well trained jackdaws.

Tahraim is my fav absolutely adore him! I love that you’ve made the smith deal in introspection and cryptic bs, a lot of times smiths are very straightforward characters in stories. What made you decide to shake it up?

Can gods be tied to concepts as well as cities? As Tahraim seems to be a god of blacksmithing (or at least has some serious motifs) does he have a city thats just forges?

He also seems a lot more mobile than the other gods, or is he just “tied” to Danix?

Tahraim is a conceptual god, a class of deity considered grander and more untethered than city or nature gods. Also in his weight class are Emnis and Erebas (dreams and nightmares), Shanyasi (music), Sennaia (knowledge), Jiya (war), and a whole bunch of others. They're gods of ideas, and their domains are in the collective consciousness of mortals. They can manifest anywhere they hold sway, and several of them have constructed domains of their own in pocket dimensions; Sennaia has a transfinite library hidden away somewhere, and Tahraim has a forge.

Tahraim's personality comes from my own experience with artists and craftspeople. Many artists are acutely aware that in order for their work to be better, they need to be better. The process of creation and introspection becomes inextricably linked. Forging a tool changes the forger, little by little.

There's also an element I've observed from teachers. I was always a firm proponent of "don't be cryptic or cute, just tell me the thing and I'll get it," and while that's true a lot of the time, there are concepts that cannot be Just Told in any meaningful way. They don't hit or stick if the person doesn't put them together themselves and construct a way that works for them. Teaching isn't always the impartation of information; a lot of the time it's guidance so the student crafts the tools that work for them. Even if the teacher can perfectly communicate what method works for them, everyone is different, and a student that does the exact same thing exactly right might gain no benefits or be actively harmed by the process. Instead, the student has to parse the lesson and create their own tools to execute the same goal.

Personal example under a readmore because it got a little long:

I've sporadically dealt with intrusive thoughts my whole life, though I didn't understand what they were at the time and they've mostly gone away on their own. When I was little, upsetting thoughts would get stuck in my head and stay there; things would give me nightmares that lasted for weeks, or I'd be stuck awake in the wee hours ruminating on every time in my life I'd done something shameful or harmful or wrong. My dad recognized I was upset, and tried to teach me a method of "counting thoughts" that worked for him, where I could sit for a few minutes and just passively observe the thoughts floating by, counting them and observing them and thus becoming aware that they were small, fleeting things with no power on their own. The problem is, this method didn't work for me at all, because "count the thought" didn't communicate to me "and that makes the thought not a problem anymore." The thought still hurt just as bad, all I was doing was reminding myself how many bad thoughts were happening. I would get overwhelmed and end up more distressed, and the fact that this thing that should have worked didn't work just convinced me that I was trapped and nobody could ever help me.

It took actual years before I found a method that clicked in my brain, and it was just one step further down the path of counting thoughts:

"Having that thought is harmless."

Every thought that got stuck in my head was about times or ways I might've harmed people. The things that distressed me most were things I'd done wrong that I had zero power to change, so the wrongness would just haunt me forever, making me miserable forever. But the root of the distress was that I had messed up and hurt people.

The thing that clicked was that having the thought does nothing to anyone but me. The thought is harmless, even if the event the thought is about wasn't or wouldn't be. Having the thought hurts no-one else. And since 90% of my distress was distress at the thought of hurting other people, it hit me that in reality, even in the depths of my angst, I was just sitting there, hurting no-one.

And suddenly I found that the last few intrusive thoughts rattling around in my brain withering, because the last thing that had been feeding them was gone. I was given the technique for Counting Thoughts, but it wasn't made for my hands. I had to make my own version out of it. And just because it worked for me and my own personal brain doesn't mean this method would work for someone else, just the same way the method that worked for my dad didn't click for me. If I wanted to teach someone a way to bypass intrusive thoughts, all I would have to work on would be what worked for me, but I could try to guide them through a path similar to the one I followed to find my method so they could maybe find their specific hangups and what specifically would work for them. Every mind is different.

This is also why it's so frustrating to hear someone say stuff like "Oh I used to worry about that too, but it's actually fine, you can just stop worrying about it!" And it's like, "oh, fuckin brilliant, just stop worrying about it? Absolute genius, I just hadn't thought of that-" like yea it sounds flippant and yea it's not helpful, but they are using the only frame of reference they have and describing what they did. They stressed about something, realized it was not actually a problem, and knowing that was enough to make it leave their mind alone. But saying that they "just stopped worrying" doesn't make you understand or internalize how they did it. And because they can't seem to help you, it makes you mad. But then sometimes, with time and perspective, you look back and think "wow, yea, at some point I really did just stop worrying about that." It doesn't mean their advice worked, it just means somewhere along the line something clicked in your mind and started working.

Tahraim is a smith who sees no difference between shaping a tool and shaping a person, but there are some ways that people can't be shaped from the outside, and instead have to shape themselves. He likes to be subtle and cryptic, but he also has good reason to be. The only way to make something click in someone's head is to guide them towards it and nudge them when necessary. It's not all hitting stuff with hammers.
