i just want to thank trapped series for not putting makeup on thorhildur's face to make her look like doll by hiding her blemishes and real skin, but leaving her bare face and showing young girls everywhere normal is beautiful and that there is nothing to be ashamed of. i love european cinematography because it doesnt shy away from depicting in their series and movies real world exactly as it is, as grim and avarage and unglamorous as reality is. that's what makes it so easy to be pulled in those series and movies. the feeling of familiar. no one is unreachable deity with unrealistic filtered and washed out appareance demanding to be praised or otherwise whole thing will flop.

Random Facts: Xavier

Xavier's Music Collection
We've all seen the intro sequence for the game. As always, the obscure details intrigued me. So, today, I'm going to talk about this particular scene. Shout out to Rachelcookie321 on X for the image and their CD identifications!
Collection List:
In order from the right side of the screen to the left side, here's what I could identify. But from what I discovered, Xavier is a big fan of Leonard Bernstein!

"Passando Per Laterra ⢠Purple Dawn ⢠The Seven Stages ⢠Variation 10"
?
"Bernstein Conducts Beethoven"
?
?
"Two Step (...)"
"Symphonic Dances & Rumble ⢠West Side Story"
"Ăegar Stjornurnar Falla ⢠Katie Mahan"
Another "Passando Per Laterra"
"Waiting For Nobody ⢠Alone - The Forest Sings ⢠Allegretto Leggerenete"
"Four Anniversaries: 3 ⢠For David Diamond (July 9, 1915)"
Another "Ăegar Stjornurnar Falla"
Another "Bernstein Conducts Beethoven"
?
"Blue Danube Waltz"
Another "Waiting For Nobody ⢠Alone - The Forest Sings ⢠Allegretto Leggerenete"
"Champions of Folly ⢠Roy Harris, Bold Lovell"
Another "Passando Per Laterra"
"Hovhaness A.: Lousadzak / Shatakh / Achtamar / Tziakerk"
Collection Details:
Passando Per Laterra ⢠Purple Dawn ⢠The Seven Stages ⢠Variation 10
"Passando Per Laterra" translates to "Passing Through The Earth". The words beyond that were identified by Rachelcookie123, but I've been unable to find any matches for this one.
Bernstein Conducts Beethoven
Album by: Leonard Bernstein
This is an album of Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic in Beethoven symphonies, recorded between 1958 and 1964.
Symphonic Dances & Rumble ⢠West Side Story
Composer: Leonard Bernstein
This musical is a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, telling the story of star-crossed lovers in 1950s New York. The score is a mixture of jazz, Latin rhythms, and Broadway style.
Ăegar Stjornurnar Palla ⢠Katie Mahan
Composer or Performer: Katie Mahan
Katie Mahan is an American pianist. In Icelandic, this translates to "When The Stars Fall", but I've been unable to find a work/performance of hers by this name.
Waiting For Nobody ⢠Alone ~ The Forest Sings ⢠Allegretto Leggerenete
Composer: ?
This one stumped me. Couldn't find anything at all about it.
Four Anniversaries: 3 ⢠For David Diamond (July 9, 1915)
Composer: Leonard Bernstein
Four Anniversaries is a piano composition written by Leonard Bernstein in 1948. It consists of four movements, each dedicated to a specific person in his life. Xavier has a CD of the third movement, written for David Leo Diamond. David Diamond was also an established composer and this movement reflected his unique style.
Blue Danube Waltz
Composer: Johann Strauss II
This is a consistently popular piece in any classical musicians repetoire.
Fun fact: Among other uses in popular culture, this is the song used in Netflix's show "Squid Game" to announce the start of arepertoire.
Champions of Folly ⢠Roy Harris
Album by: Roy Harris
Roy Harris was a popular American composer in the 1940s. "Champions of Folly" is a specific album of his music and "The Saucy Bold Robber" is a piece from that album.
Hovhaness A.: Lousadzak / Shatakh / Achtamar / Tziakerk
Composer: Alan Hovhaness
This is a recording of pieces by Alan Hovhaness that includes: Lousadzak, Shatakh, Achtamar, and Tsiakerk. Alan Hovhaness was an American composer who was one of the most prolific of the 20th century. While his official catalog includes 67 symphonies and 493 opus numbers, a true tally of his total works comes in at more than 500 surviving works.
Bonus CD:
The subsequent part of the intro scene shows Xavier selecting one CD and putting it into a CD player. On the CD are the words "Deep Space Legend: Beyond the Universe".

Respect Neo-Pagans and Our Gods!
Although they probably will never see it (or care), this post is meant for Hollywood, Netflix, Marvel and all other industries and streaming platforms that are hosting shows based on but twisting pagan or polytheist "mythology" or ancient religions such as Gods of Egypt, Immortals, Clash of the Titans, Thor: Love and Thunder, DT17, Supernatural, Kaos, Twilight of the Gods, Blood of Zeus, Percy Jackson, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Record of Ragnarok, American Gods, Lore Olympus, and God of War games, etc.
The trend of creating content that demonizes, humiliates, or insults our Gods is upsetting and unfair. Creative and artistic license is one thing, but it's a double-standard for content about the monotheistic god or religions to be treated with respect even when under academic criticism while are ours are depicted as one-dimensional, villainized and humiliated. We are asking for that same respect.
Yes, content about any kind of "mythology" is fun, but the modern world needs to please remember that these were and still are RELIGIONS to many people around the world, myself included.
People worshipped these Gods, listened to their stories around the fire, married under their vows, raised their children, went to war, and but also built magnificent structures, wrote literature, prayed in their temples, and many more!
In fact, we still have vestiges of their worship! The names of the months and days of the week in the Western world come from Roman or Norse/Germanic Gods, the Olympic Games were originally dedicated to Zeus, the Hippocratic Oath was originally a prayer offered to Apollo, people from all over the ancient world visited the shrine and oracle at Apollo's Delphi, and many more examples.
And while yes, sometimes people were sacrificed to some pagan Gods (not so much the Greeks or Romans), but are we really going to pretend that many more people haven't died in the name of Christianity or Islam??
Lord Zeus wasn't just some womanizer, he was also King of the Gods, Father of Gods and Humans, the God of Hospitality, Oaths, Lightning, Law, Order, Authority, Monarchy, etc.
This was also Lord Zeus of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Odin of the ancient Norse:

This was also Lady Hera of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Ra of the ancient Egyptians:

This was also Lord Huracan of the ancient Maya:

Even if you personally don't worship these Gods, at least respect the fact that your ancestors did. Imagine if 100-200 years from now your descendants start making movies and shows that demonize or humiliate Yahweh, Jesus, Allah and Mohammed, etc.!
In fact, neo-paganism is the fastest growing religion in the United States: https://commonwealthpolicycenter.org/paganism-is-americas-fastest-growing-religion/#:~:text=Paganism%20is%20one%20of%20the,a%20broader%20form%20of%20paganism.
Members of ĂsatrĂš, heathen religion of Iceland, honoring the Norse Gods:
Members of Hellenism, honoring the ancient Greek Gods:

Members of my religion, Nova Roma, honoring the ancient Roman Gods:

Traditional African religion:

Traditional Maya religion:

Members of Wicca at Stonehenge, the biggest Neo-Pagan religion in the world with 3-5 million practioners worldwide!

Our Gods are our RELIGION, not just your "mythology!" And both They and we, their followers, deserve the same respect you expect for your religions.
And they at least would never condemn you to an eternal fiery pit simply for not believing in them, unlike some other god I could mention.
They are here. We are here. They exist. We exist. And we are not going anywhere.

So, about LGBT pride planes
Okay, okay, I've talked about liveries. Sort of seems like that might be the thing that I do. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention something else - potentially the most revolutionary move in aviation since the invention of the airline itself.
This...is actual promotional material for a real airline, that flew planes for money, and was ostensibly a company. This is a screenshot from this actual airlineâs announcement that their new plane will be registered TF-GAY, made over Snapchat. We live in such an incredibly normal and plausible universe. This was posted by a company which, at the time, filed taxes and had employees. Said employees probably wore suits. They had offices. They were registered with the Icelandic government. They flew airplanes daily and this was their job. They posted this on Snapchat. This was widely covered by news. People discussed this as a massive step forward for LGBT equality. It was posted on Snapchat by a real airline.
TF-GAY was an Airbus A330-300 formerly operated by Icelandic low-cost airline WOW air, given her registration as a shattering gesture of LGBT inclusivity in the same league as Stonewall and Obergefell v Hodges. She was just a regular A330 painted in a regular WOW air livery which happened to be registered as TF-GAY.Â
Iâll be honest, I donât think this is within the scope of this blog to rate, but if it were I would give it an A+. This is such a silly and pathetic gesture that I loop right back over into adoring it. The Snapchat announcement (I forget Snapchat exists, never mind imagine that it might be used by an airline) is so absurd that it may well be the thing that convinces me that Iâm actually a Boltzmann brain because this could not possibly be real. I love TF-GAY. Iâm very sad WOW air went bankrupt because it means I can never fly on TF-GAY. (She is now stored, having most recently flown for Batik Air with an unremarkable registration, though she was registered TC-LOL in the interim, which feels worth noting.)Â
TF-GAY is an LGBT icon to rival whatever the most recent character who casually mentions having a same-gender partner the news is profusely lauding some or other Netflix show for is at the moment. She is sorely missed, along with WOW airâs other hits, like TF-DAD and TF-MOM. But thatâs a story for another day. For now, have a lovely TF-DAY and thank you as always for reading.Â

Do the nordics like kebab
Norway adores it. It might as well be his favourite food of all time. Whenever he's upset about something, he'll curl up on the sofa, binge a Netflix limited series and have a kebab.
Denmark also likes it. He and Sweden can agree that it's pretty damn good.
Finland doesn't mind it. It's not his favourite, but it's not like he dislikes it.
Iceland usually doesn't care for it, but sometimes he'll inexplicably crave it.

Taron Egerton is back.
No, not on Instagram. I don't think he's ever coming back to social media, but back on your tv/tablet/computer or wherever you watch Netflix. He has a bonafide Netflix hit with CARRY-ON.

While Taron has been away from IG and our screens, he has been steadily working. He has three projects in the pipeline. There's the Baltasar KormĂĄkur (I highly recommend his film, Iceland's official Oscar submission for international film, TOUCH.) APEX with Taron opposite Charlize Theron, there's the limited series FIREBUG which reunites him with his BLACK BIRD director Dennis Lehane and the film SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. Egerton serves as executive producer on the last two projects.
He's also snagged a girlfriend, actress Chloe Bennett (AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D).



Until we see you again, Taron, we'll make do with the press you had to do for CARRY-ON where he outed himself as loving mayonnaise on pizza. I cannot believe this betrayal! If people accept mayo on pizza I don't ever want hear any slagging off about pineapple on pizza or anchovies.

Last Checked:------
A Taste of Rebellion-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: It all started with a spark as most great revolutions do. And that spark, Katniss Everdeen is sorry to say, she has inadvertently kindled. Without realizing or choosing, sheâs joined a fightâand she is fairly certain sheâs on the wrong side⌠Another unexpected complication of this whole mess is a manâa man who couldnât be more unlike her, nevertheless, one sheâs fallen irrevocably in love with. He is the man she now feels tied to, whether she wants to be or not. Sheâs sure thereâs no getting rid of himâheâll probably follow her to the ends of the earth for the strength of what binds them, but the problem is, she wants to stay right where she was. He is the one who wants to leave, and heâs insisting she go with him⌠And this turn of events, which has spiraled so far out of her control, is all due to a chance meeting in a coffee shop with a blond stranger on Katnissâs worst of days. Captive of The Seam-IzzySamson (ao3) Summary: The old woman laid her gnarled hands on his head, looked to the sky, and chanted some words, and the girls sang along. Katniss was not as enthusiastic as the other two, but she sang dutifully. Even naĂŻve Peeta knew that this was some sort of ceremonyâŚbut its purpose was unknown. They could have been preparing to slit his throat and sacrifice him to some heathen god for all he knew. Sae gave him a toothless, loving smile, and said, âMy son.â He felt a little sense of relief; he would not be killed, at least not today. Comfort Zone-JennaGill (ao3) Summary: She was so far outside of her comfort zone, she needed a different zip code. Katniss sees her public speaking instructor outside of class. Controlling Katniss-jamiesommers (ao3) Summary: Set in District Twelve some time after the end of the rebellion. Katniss and Peeta have gotten married. In the middle of an argument they wind up playing a little...game. Death Is Not the End-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: Paranormal AU. Katniss, an immortal countess, travels to America for the funeral of her beloved sister, Primrose. However, Katniss is not simply there to pay her respects; she plans to steal Primâs body in hopes of later resurrecting her. While there, she meets a nosy reporter, Peeta Mellark, who seeks an exclusive interview with her. When he wonât take no for an answer, she decides to give him the inside scoop-at her castle. Loosely based on Netflixâs Dracula (2020). ~It doesnât matter how much you learn about me, Peeta Mellark; itâll do you no good. You may be clever and articulate, but you havenât even realized that youâre never leaving this place~ Fifty Year's Worth-Juststella (ao3) Summary: For a chance to be close to Katniss in the mortal world, Angel Peeta is willing to give up his immortality. Fix My Eyes-JennaGill (ao3) Summary: Captain Katniss Everdeen takes the Mellark brothers on a charter to remember and canât help but fall for the youngest that dresses better than he fishes. Fool Me Once-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: Troublemaker Katniss Everdeen and her group of friends are legendary pranksters in their sleepy Appalachian town, though they've never been caught red-handed. One day they take their pranking too far, incurring the ire of the young associate pastor of their local church, Peeta Mellark, who's been on their tails for some time. After being caught by Pastor Mellark, Katniss is sent to talk to him and to try and convince him not to press charges against them. Will she have the effect on him everyone seems to think she does? Or will he end up having an effect on herâand possibly, changing her life? Geothermal-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: A girlsâ trip. A last hurrah before sending one of their own off to married life is what has Katniss Everdeen jetting off to Iceland to visit the famous Nordic hot springs. She expected to be forced into outdoor public bathing and weird spa treatments and browbeaten into relaxing, but what she didnât expect was to run into someone from her pastâa very handsome someone whom she hadnât realized sheâd always paid attention to.
Glitter and Dust-jeeno2 (ao3) Summary: âKatnissâ voice, even when sheâs just practicing scales, dazzles him as much now as it ever has.â Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen, former childhood lovers, work together to save a struggling radio station during the Golden Age of radio. Historical AU.

Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's The OA stands as one of the more fascinating artifacts from the anything-goes era of Netflix-- an unfettered, deeply personal vision that somehow exists in superposition between love it or hate it. Their new Hulu series, A Murder at the End of the World, isn't as bugnuts, but after two episodes I'm totally on board. The show is a cyberpunk-tinged whodunnit that feels equally inspired by Agatha Christie, William Gibson, Stieg Larsson, and Alex Garland. Marling has half-jokingly mentioned Carmen Sandiego as an unconscious influence, but the vibe is closer to the games of Hideo Kojima. Most of the action unfolds in a high-tech Icelandic compound straight out of Death Stranding, haunted by mysterious masked figures and AI holograms. As with Kojima, subtlety is in short supply-- the needle drops are defiantly dorky, the characters broadly archetypal (a Banksyesque artist critical of Silicon Valley goes by the moniker FANGS), and the ideas and emotions unabashedly big. If you like your gothic techno-dystopias with an undercurrent of aching sincerity, new episodes out Tuesdays.
