The birds ate the whole goat head!
*Checks live stream*
*Winces*
#he's wondering where everyone went#and why it's so quiet#can't see can't hear can't even make sad goat noises#but he will stay steadfastly standing for as long as he can#able only to feel the peck of the birds as they dart in and out seizing bits of his flesh#:(#gavle goat#yule goat#asks#anonymous#askwoodelf68aquestion#*throws a piece of burlap with a smiley face painted on over the wire remains of his face*

So unrelated to usual blog content
I just wanted to let you all know that the Gavle Goat is still standing.
Last year it was taken out by birds so they have taken precautions this year to make sure not to have another Alfred Hitchcock incident.
Merry Christmas y’all

Hey y'all I realized I have the right colors of fabric (or close enough) to make the gavle goat (gavlebock?) in plushie form, but how big should I make it? And should I make it floppy and cuddly (the small version probably with my floppy okapi base pattern) or attempt to make it able to stand up on its own, but that would make it less cuddly? I'm leaning towards floppy and cuddly, bigger than the okapi, but smaller than the plesiosaur
#the person behind the yarn#this fuzzy fabric just lends itself so so well to slightly understuffed plushies#that are extremely extremely cuddleable

Something incredibly poignant about the Gavle goat standing as bird pick from its straw. It stands tall, hundreds of times as large as the birds that have taken from it, and yet, it's defenseless against them. It can't move, can't make noise to scare them away. It stands still, as jackdaws feast on it, sustaining them with its body. And as each bird takes the straw and seed that make up its flesh, a little more of its structure is exposed. It has no choice in the matter. Come storm or shine, the jackdaws will feast.
But it was doomed from the beginning, wasn't it? If it wasn't the birds, it would be the flame that brought its end. Or perhaps a car, or theft, or vandalism. And even its survival would have been short-lived, brought to a close at the end of the season, its body dismantled by the hands of those who gave it life.
So perhaps the birds are welcome on its back, on its head and in its bones, tearing into its flesh as it stands immobile. Because at least this way, its death feeds thousands of lives that are tiny to it. Tiny, but not insignificant, for nothing truly is. Not the goat, not the birds that eat from its flesh, and not the thousands that look on, witnesses to its noble fate.
At the end of this season, what remains will be taken down. And next year, it will be brought back, the builders having learned from their mistakes. The straw will have no seed for the jackdaws, and the goat will await the return of the blaze that it knows so well.

As of this morning, the Gavle Goat is still standing…
…but those jackdaws ate the shit out of it.
I think that should count as destroying it. It's a skeleton.

Somewhere in Norway (clearly after seeing the Gavle Goat in Sweden) ...
"Gio..... don't look now...."
"But slowly... very slowly.... back away...."
"What?? You requested I brown the sugar more! I can't exactly do that without standing by the stov-
"O-Oh, my God!!"
"He must have smelled the chicken you're grilling right now!!"
"Ohh, he looks hungry! Maybe he can join us for breakfast!"
"No!! Don't feed that thing! It's a wild animal, it can try to come back for us for more food! Or have us for food!"
"We should make it go away! I know what to say to ward them off in these parts!" Ruixiong starts barking at the polar bear while waving his arms at it. "PERKELE!! PERKELE!!"
"Wrong language!"
"Wrong bear!"
#this has to be the dumbest post I've made in a long while#yes I know the actual location is in Svalbard but that's still a part of Norway right?#[Dumb]#[The Himbo Squad]#[Wang Ruixiong]#[Guy Duchamp]#[Giovanni Vespucci]#man figuring out whose role in what in the dialogue without Phoebus wasn't easy at all
