I just rewatched ep 4 (which was very healing for my soul, it had been too long) and I noticed for the first time that when they're at Tragic Mick's, Niko notices the bear charm and asks about it, and Tragic Mick very firmly tells her it's not for sale.

(In addition, when the boys first go to Tragic Mick's, the camera lingers on the bear charm then, too)

It's fun to see that plot point laid out so clearly from the start, and to know that the trinket that intrigues Niko on this first visit is what ultimately saves her. But it also makes you think, like, Tragic Mick was saving that until just the right person came along, someone who really needed and deserved it, and just by listening to his story, Niko became that person.

My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

Ice Scream Bat

Creature that hides and dwells within the icy caves, snowy mountains and cold regions. Very small but with noise that tends to confuse new visitors of the area, scaring them with high pitched screeches in the evenings. Locals, however, know it's harmless. And cute.

Seeing the bat hop on the ground is not unusual. Often they want to keep their wings warm so they will travel with bird like hops. Their light weight doesn't allow them to sink into the snow. If they sense danger with their excellent hearing, they're quick to take off and hide within the prickly evergreens or super cold caverns.

So I'm pretty excited about The Day the Earth Blew Up but I have to wonder if Marvin is gonna be in it.

Like, putting aside my bias for the character, I feel like it would just be a wasted opportunity to have a movie about aliens trying to blow up the Earth and NOT have him present. That's literally what his role in the show typically amounts to.

If he is in it, my prediction is that he'd have a rivalry with the actual bad guy aliens because Earth is HIS to destroy (or perhaps he has different plans for Earth) and thus he can't just let them blow it all up. As such, he'll end up teaming up with the Earthlings to save the Earth. Maybe he'll even end up turning a new leaf after working with Porky and Daffy to stop the invasion, forming a genuine friendship with them.

Honestly nothing was as freeing to me as seeing a fantasy author respond to the "What century is this story supposed to be set in?" Question with something to the effect of "None of them. This story takes place in a different world that is not our own"

Like, you know what? Yeah man I suppose it does. You're so right, actually. This is a different world with its own rules, it was deeply hubristic of me to assume it'd map cleanly on to our own world history tbh

Hell yeah, dude

Hresvelgr - Day 37

Race: Wilder

Alignment: Dark-Law

May 13th, 2024

Norse mythology has no shortage of giants making up its ranks, immensely powerful creatures called Jötunn that wreak havoc and devour the earth below, only matched in strength by the gods themselves. The Jötunn, descended from the primordial god Ymir, whose body was used to create the human realm of Midgard, live almost entirely within their own realm separate from both Midgard and Asgard, a frozen-over world called Jötunheimr (or Útgarðr depending on the source) that is as desolate as it is deadly. The Jötunn weren't quite as malevolent as they were representative of chaos itself, and many friendly Jötunn actually existed as well- one of those being the demon of the day, Hresvelgr, the cold winds of heaven's end.

Depictions of Hresvelgr are scant, only showing in a few stanzas of Vafþrúðnismál, wherein Odin spoke with the wise elder Jötunn, Vafþrúðnir, about the origin of the winds of the world. He would provide Odin with a simple, short answer, explaining the following.

"He is called Hræsvelg, who sits at heaven’s end, a giant, in the shape of an eagle; from his wings they say the wind comes over all people." - Translation by J. Lindow, 2002.

This excerpt would later be paraphrased in the Prose Edda, everyone's favorite piece of christianized literature, where it would be effectively repeated in the Gylfaginning section, albeit asked by a different character, that being the disguised Gylfi to the jötunn Hárr. As the story goes, the giant provides the winds to the worlds throughout Yggdrasil through the flapping of its wings. Whether the giant simply is an eagle or takes the form of one is unclear, as this great bird appears only briefly throughout the few sources we have on Norse mythology. The name's meaning as well is vague, having two meanings pertaining to his role- 'corpse-swallower' and 'shipwreck-current.'

Due to this, we can see Hresvelgr as a literal force of nature- the winds he whips up aren't malevolent, but will happily swallow people in storms and destroy their ships if they're not careful. However, wind can also bring joy- it guides ships, lets people know when a storm is brewing, and can even let people play in it if they're astute enough to build kites or the like. It's due to this that we can see, in force, the duality of the jötunn- they are not evil, not good, but simply neither, bringers of natural events that spell disaster and fortune in equal droves.

In SMT, Hresvelgr's specialty in wind skills is almost comedically obvious, a late game magic attacker who whips up hurricanes to attack his foes. The main thing I'd like to talk about, however, is his design- while appearing on the surface as a simple eagle, the detail of screaming faces under his wing paint a grim picture of the devastation that a tornado can bring, while the white, in contrast, represents the simple pleasure of a windy day.

Overall, in spite of the lack of mythology regarding this bird of prey, Hresvelgr is a fascinating and fun demon to look at, use, and analyze, and certainly deserves to be a demon of the day.
