The thing about the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda is that it's not like they're some sort of codified religious text. They're collections of stories and poems written down centuries after the Norse religion had died out, and in the case of the Prose Edda, were more popular as a poetry instruction manual with the myths being used primarily as examples. What they can tell us about the mythology, the religion, and the roles the gods played in the day to day lives of the Norse is actually pretty limited.

It would be like if future and/or alien scholars where trying to piece together an idea of what the Hellenistic mythology, religion, and tradition looked like, but with only Percy Jackson and The Olympians, Supergiant's Hades, and The Song of Achilles for sources- three works that all broadly agree on the Big Picture stuff, but diverge hugely in the details and just far enough to start scholars fist fighting each other.

(Which by the way, if I ever get time travel powers one of my first stops would be a future university panels where I can listen some of those shouting matches cause they would be lit as hell).

All this to say, getting hung up on canon for any mythology is already a doomed endeavor, but it's an especially doomed one for Norse mythology- and criticizing modern works that draw on those myths for not being accurate enough is silly, because at the bare minimum they are adaptions of an adaption. The best anyone can do is get the vibe right and hope for the best.

One thing that has deeply annoyed me about the response from Americans/Westerners about this week's events in Korea is that a lot of them, including people I like and respect, are like, "The protesting civilians and lawmakers who barged into the National Assembly would've been shot if this were the U.S./this would've never happened in the U.S. because people are too afraid of being shot." There's some truth to that, at least with regard to state violence, but I'm fed up because it doesn't account for how frightening this could have turned out to be had it not been for how much of an inept flop dunce Yoon Sukyeol is. It minimizes the courage of those who showed up.

Sure, it was likely that the military and riot police wouldn't have done much (again, YSY's self-coup wasn't thought out well, and there's more evidence of that as military officials and soldiers are speaking up about the lack of information they received, but I'll refrain from talking about that to avoid making this even longer than it inevitably will be, knowing myself), but let's not pretend there haven't been issues with them in recent years. They pepper sprayed and used water cannons during an anniversary rally for the Sewol ferry victims (x) (x) (if you don't understand how unbelievably cruel that is, look into the horrific Sewol ferry sinking). They tear gassed crowds (Korea has a gruesome history of this) and sprayed water cannons, and citizens have been injured and killed during the 2015 protests and 2016-17 Park Geunhye impeachment protests, notably Baek Namgi, an elderly activist whose death caused global outrage (x) (x). Park Geunhye was going to enforce martial law during those protests according to a leaked document, with hundreds of tanks, thousands of soldiers and special force troops! (x)

Not to mention, there are decades of extreme state violence that have scarred an entire country and are still super fresh for a huge percentage of the population. Again, check out that tear gas history piece. Look up the April Revolution, Gwangju massacre, and June uprising and see just how bloody they were. Thousands of civilians were tortured and killed. Look at how many protests were going on year after year during the 1980s. That isn't that long ago! All those older people who ran to the National Assembly to stop the coup? You bet a lot of them were college students who protested during that time or knew people who did. All the younger people? They may not have experienced what it was like living under martial law, but as I said, state violence still occurs, however much it's dwindled over the years, and you have to account for generational trauma. I don't think I'll ever forget the way I felt when I saw the breaking news alert about the martial law declaration on December 3. I've never experienced that, at least to that degree.

Instead of viewing the response from civilians and elected officials through the framework of police brutality in the U.S., it should be contextualized using Korea's own history. Thankfully most of the serious discussions are doing this, but like I said, even people who are smart about reading up on things have reflected on how this wouldn't fly in the U.S., not because of the difference in protest history, civil movements, and public engagement with both in the two countries but because of the military/police response. There's an insinuation there that Koreans would be more reluctant to do what they did if they knew what it's like to live in fear of violence instead of living in such a safe country like Korea...and I want to yell.

It was monumentally brave of everyone to do what they did to stop the coup. We're all laughing at how stupid the coup was and there's a reason why people were more furious than scared because of the political history of Korea and the laws set in place to protect the democracy and neutralize coup attempts, but this could have easily become a disaster. It's not alarmist of me to say so because there was no way for anyone to be 100% sure of how the military would react—especially when no one knew what the hell was going on.

hello hello! i found a song called the truth by The Front Bottoms and it made me think of hunger au

im gonna spare you the full rant but it has lines like: "Anything you need, you let me know/how 'bout a glass of water?" "Because the truth got hard to swallow/and life just hurts my stomach/if you made the plan, i'd believe it" "head first heavy, baby, cellar dive" (i find this one particularly amusing because of its literal meaning) and (this ones a kicker cause i never left the desert hfjfdkmllkf) "the prettiest flower that i have ever seen in my life/you were wearing it in your hair"

hope you enjoy :))

ps. i loved the winter fic, the vibes were so cozy i felt my frosty canadian heart thaw a little

Something I don't always love about Swifties is the absolute animosity toward people expressing their dislike of a song or album. No matter how measured or reasoned your explanation for not caring for that song or album may be, people jump down your throat and call you not a fan or whatever.

It's even worse when it isn't even a song or album you dislike, just one you have a few criticisms of... like relax. It's all in fun. I critique the things I love because I love them, and I love to think about them.
