“And already in the early seventeenth century, Ole Worm in Denmark, Johannes Bureus in Sweden, and Jón Guðmundsson lærði in Iceland, for example, had interested themselves in, and were independently collecting, specimens of Nordic folklife and folklore.”

(Stephen A. Mitchell, Old Norse Folklore: Tradition, Innovation and Performance in Medieval Scandinavia, p. 11)

so I have always hated the words stalactite and stalagmite. annoying beyond words there should even be a need to differentiate. so I go to look up who coined the phrase to see who I should curse until the end of my days and...

OLE WORM?? HIS NAME WAS OLE WORM????

Danish alchemist and naturalist Ole Worm/ Olaus Wormius had as one of his great discoveries, the discovery that lemmings do, in fact, have genitals, and thus probably reproduce sexualy and are not spontaneously generated out of snow.

He also doubted the idea that maggots are creatures of pure corruption and are spawned spontaneously by the rotting of meat, but he couldn't find thier junk (because he didnt know they are juvenile flies and didn't check the flies).

This is what a lot of medieval natural histories are like.

The "curiosity cabinet" of Danish antiquary Ole Worm, born on this day in 1588.

sqh raising luo binghe bc the wash lady never happened bc the timeline's altered and subsequently mbj finds out or qinghua tells him (pre-established moshang) and qinghua is hmmn . freaking the fuck out bc wdym his stallion protag is a colicky newborn baby that won't go to bed unless he's rocked, swaddled, and cuddled by sqh (mobei-jun's heart shattered when baby binghe cried when sqh handed him off for a second before putting him to bed, he's still nursing his bruised ego) . this is his beloved if bloodthirsty son who is 75% cheek and 25% baby fat, it is a miracle he ever goes to his jobs when his son is so cute and tiny and why did he not write cameras into PIDW !!! no amount of portraiture would capture his sweet boy looking up at him all cute and tiny and never to be captured on camera. moshang being dads co-parenting binghe and everyone being confused bc everyone thought mobei-jun would finally marry and make qinghua consort shang but to each their own . co-parenting and then oh my god they're not even together yet are they? posing for family portraits together with romantic tension thick enough to start choking everyone out of the room. qinghua and mobei-jun looking next to dead bc binghe has never slept thru the night and sqh feels like he hasn't had a good night's rest since he transmigrated into PIDW . also maybe make it omegaverse

stop staring at me with those big ol eyes

[virmink-united]

Thinking about Amir absolutely nerding out over seeing a Volt frame with a fancy skin and just being like: "WOAH! I hope I look like *that* when I turn into a Warframe!!"

And the Drifter just staring at him with so much emotion as they walk up to him, hold his face in their hands and tell him that they won't let that happen, that they'll find a way to stop the infection and give all the Hex back their bodies and their lives, even if it takes forever

chat i am reaching a new level of brainrot where i'm now drawing my drone characters in religious attire corresponding to my own beliefs

like what the actual fuck. there's ties to catholism in this show, so i might as well draw my characters in germanic paganistic regalia and have them wave antlers because fuck you, that's why

who's gonna stop me, the romans?
