I think Loki is a very personalized deity who shows different facets of his personality to different people based on their personalities & needs, so relying entirely on UPGs and not headcanons might not work.
so im gonna go on a ramble here because i believe that in polytheism all gods are by their essence personalized, thats why its impossible to have an older god thats 100% depicted and recorded the same in every place theyre worshipped
i think upg is stupid because it assesses that all textual evidence is some sort of orthodoxy where everything outside of written down and surviving perimeters experienced by followers is either "unverified personal gnosticism" or invalid headcanoning, when in reality (especially in the case of asatro where the eddas are recorded far after christianisation and icelandic culture exclusive) the "verified" gnosticism is just a single small snapshot into what the gods are like and cant span the experience of those illiterate and/or those that didnt have access to storytellers to keep their experiences recorded
i started out being very conservative on this blog about what is and isnt asatro and i still dont enjoy non-scandinavian condescending at me about a faith i was taught about before anything american, i still hate marvel with a passion not yet observed to be rivalled
BUT
im cool sexy and radical now, hel is my blorbo, fuck oden i dont trust him, tor can eat shit if he doesnt come clear this humidity soon, the only thing you need to be religious is faith and Vibes and vibes notably is headcanons
#norse paganism#asatru#i mean if dantes whole heavenly trillogy where his self insert tours heaven hell and pergatory with his poetry senpai can be canonised#then whats to stop us from doing the same? put the nazis in the jaws of nidhugg and have complex feelings about winter being cold#cuz frey is away being a simp for his frost giant wife#its noticeable that i think upg supremacy fucking sucks

Hello there Ladies and Gentlemen, i'd like to take a moment to share my thoughts on the current , successful state of star wars. I apologise in advance for any grammatical errors in my little rant, I'm not a native speaker.
So, I guess where I'll begin is with my intro: currently successful?
Solo was the first star wars film to lose money, and quite a lot at that, while the beginning of the end was obvious with TLJ: they destroyed the center of the saga for most people, which was Luke Skywalker, and with RoS they even made Anakin's prophecy redundant.
And say what you want, the numbers don't lie, RoS earned not even half of what TFA did while the cost kept rising up. Not even the actors can defend this nonsense anymore, Adam driver didn't even go on the press tour for it
As far a Rogue one and the Mandalorian goes, they aren't universally beloved, they are just better by comparison then the rest of the Disney movies. The fan base for star wars has been built for 40+ years, it's was pretty strong, and making a sequel to the first movie ever was sure to be a success, right? Well, again, the numbers don't lie, and rogue one didn't earn that much money compared to the production and marketing cost. It was also made before the franchise was really driven down the shitter with TLJ and RoS.
If you want an accurate indicator of the damages TLJ did just look at solo. If the last Star Wars movie had been good, or at least decent, people would have rushed in to see the next. Instead they didn't even make their money back.
And then there's of course the Mandalorian. Aside from not having any real numbers to go by since it's on their own platform there are enough people out there that don't like it, including myself, and the reason about 20% of the people watch it is baby Yoda, which has to be applauded as the best marketing decision they did so far, and on accident no less.
What do I mean by accident?
Then the movies came out they flooded the market with toys for their new movies, all the characters, the infamous C-3PO with the red arm to make extra money...
And that's probably the biggest indicator of where the fandom currently sits: In the time do the ot people rushed in to buy the toys, kids and adults alike, and with the prequels it got even better: more toys, more ships, more clothing, Legos, basically everything you could imagine. The kids loved it, the adults who grew up with it loved it and brought their children into the wonderful world that was star wars. And the most important fact: they never, ever dropped in price because they always sold for what they were put on the shelves for.
Now what do we get: go to any bigger store and look at the star wars section. Over the last 4 years it consistently shrunk in since to the point where the RoS toys where fewer in numbers then the ones for Frozen 2. And there you'll find them, your Rose Tico's down 98% for 5ct, your Kylo Ren for 10ct, your Rey for 12ct. The kids don't want that, and their parents that brought the previous generations in don't do that anymore.
What they want however is baby Yoda, and there weren't any: realizing that they're toys didn't sell and they could save money by not producing them in the first place they stopped all project going forward, including what the fans actually wanted and now having to make then after the fact.
Now you can come up with any reason for that: blame sexism, Trump, racism, whatever, but Star Wars always had strong female characters, princess Leia kicked their ass in the OT even in the darkest of time. Even after her planet got destroyed before her eyes she still comforted Luke over his personal lose, managed to detect the empires plan to track them and organize a missing that ultimately saved everyone's live.
The reason no one really likes Fin is because he's so inconsistent in the movies he's a joke: from giving us a genuinely gritty opening in TFA where we, for the first time ever since the deleted scene from RotJ, see a stormtrooper stand up from the crowd, see him suffer through the loss of presumably a friend to making re choice not to kill, freeing a tortured prisoner for war... Straight to him laughing to himself while blowing up his comrades while they are fleeing in terror. TLJ made it even worse, and while he's not even in much of RoS just look at what the actor has to say. Fin has been done dirty, and it's not because of racism that people don't really like him, it's because his character could have been so awesome and instead turned into a bumbling buffoon by incompetent writers, producers, directors...
And that really what's wrong with it Star Wars: Kathleen Kennedy.
The first movie of the trillogy was made by the master of never answering any of the questions brought up by his oh so great mystery boxes, the second by a guy who just wanted to subvert everything, and then by the time of the 3 they suddenly realized they didn't have a story anymore. And after all other quit they brought the guy back who notoriously can't end anything, butchered his script in the production of it, to the point where he refused to call it back script anymore, and then tripped the movie down about 20%.
And that really the difference between Lukas and Kennedy: Lucas loved the universe, he wanted to tell us his story in it while allowing the rest of it to be run by passionate fans and never really interfering all that much with it. And while he did it poorly he at least made it alright. Also he was happy to sell toys
Kennedy just wants to make money with it, anyway she can:
First she de-canonized all of it except for a handful she would use for later, and then she immediately jumped in and started making movies. There literally wasn't a story to tell, each one just made it up as they went, and Kennedy was happy as long as they all adhered to her politics believes and kissed her feet. If you want prove just look at the interview of Ian Mcdiarmid where they asked him about the return of Palpatine, and he answered he only was contacted in December of 2019(aka 1 year into shooting it and 1 year before the release) where they thought about bringing the emperor back. They were so without a plan that they didn't even have a villain anymore, and in a desperate attempt to fix it they did the only thing they had left: brought back the original one somehow(and I'm not kidding, that's literally what the movie says: somehow Palpatine came back to live)
And lastly, the people put in charge of the movies don't care about the IP, they were hired as Kennedy's mouthpieces as for as her political beliefs go and worked as yes men to nod and sign everything of she did, while she let incompetent idiots like JJ. Abrams and Rian Johnson in charge.
And I can't even blame Abrams for the last movie because it wasn't his movie at that point, it was basically make by a banking Lucasfilm desperately scrambling together and throwing in what they can and mindlessly cutting stuff out at the last second.
So what's left of Star Wars? Since the book numbers are as low as the toys that leaves the games: Battlefront 2 turned out alright,after the failure of Battlefront 1 and it's desasterous launch it got way better; Fallen order is alright, and SWTOR is thankfully not part of the Disney/Lukas deal and still going strong with a bunch of new players that want to return to the old universe
But in terms of the big screen, what do we got? No new movies even announced, so much for the cancelled Boba Fett one, so I guess TV it is: Clone wars season 7 is alright I guess, it gets much better in the second half, and the main reason for that, and our only glimmer of hope at the horizon, is Dave Filoni. This man actually lives and breathes star wars, giving us the world we like with characters we actually care about and like as well as bringing his original show to a good end. They announced Mando season 2 and Obi-Wan, and despite everything going on I still care, I still want to see more of the wonderful world of star wars, and hopefully Dave will be able to restart the fire that Kennedy spent years blowing out with all her might.
Overall it's a step in the right direction: ignore the sequels and focus on the established stuff to get the fans back on board, and when Kennedy is gone and her influence has finally faded start making movies again. For most people, Dave is literally the only lifeline star wars has left, and if he can't do it I really don't know who could

Collide Chapter 3-The Journey
Chracters belong to Pixleberry.
Hi everyone. So here is chapter 3. This was meant to be a trillogy, however it is more likely to be into 5 parts to give the story some justice. I promise the answers are coming and I hope worth the wait. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I would like to thank @blackcatkita for the advice and support of the last 24 hours,for a newbie writer it is very much appreciated.
Summary: This storyline takes place after Tariq was not found and the MC name was never cleared. Liam has received news that Madeline who is Queen, has been involved in a car accident in America.
2615 words
“Sir” Bastien said gently shaking Liam arm to wake him. “We’re getting ready to land”
Liam’s eyes darted open. He had slept for hours, dreamless, waking to the agony that he possibly has lost the love of his life for ever, and it wasn’t his wife.
“Any news?” Asked Liam as he began stretching and coming around.
“Yes Sir, the press are aware of the accident and Queen Madeline and Lady Riley have been involved. They are to put it mildly having a field day with speculative assumptions of why they are together in the car.” Replied Bastien.
“What about the fatality?” Are they aware? Liam asked.
“No, that news for now is contained, however I am unsure for how much longer.” Bastien responded. “The press are waiting in the airport for a statement from you sir.”
“Has Regina sent a copy of one?” Asked Liam
“Yes, she has three versions have been written depending on what developments took place, however none have mentioned Lady Riley, as at the time we did not know she was involved” said Bastien.
“That’s probably for the best” Liam replied, “I mean we don’t have much to go on there”
Bastien straightened up and nodded to the king before making his way to front of the plane, to finalise the necessary details Liam would need.
Liam got up grabbing his bag to fresh up in the bathroom before landing. Closing the bathroom door behind him, he looked in the mirror. He looked like hell he thought. The press will eat up the idea of a king devastated with worry about his beloved Queen, except he couldn’t help shake the feeling and guilt, it’s all a lie….all of it. He lost Lady Riley three years ago, but he had hope somehow it would work out. Hell, it was one of the reasons he put off having an heir to the throne. But now realising the ideal future he still dreamed off can all be gone….forever. Liam began questioning if the lie was ever worth it, at this moment in time, it did not feel like it. Liam’s thoughts were startled apart when there was a knock on the bathroom door. “Liam?” Drake called from the other side. “We’re getting ready to land you need to take your seat”.
“Be right out” Liam shouted back. With that he left the bathroom making his way to his seat, clasping his seatbelt looking straight ahead facing a very uncertain future.
Three years ago
“Your what?” Olivia asked in utter shock
“Pregnant; with child; bun in the oven” Riley replied sarcastically.
“Enough with the sarcasm” Olivia responds calling Riley out. “So, Liam is happy to let you go knowing this?” She questions.
“Liam doesn’t know” Riley sighs.
“For the love of….this just gets better and better!” Olivia retorts “So you think what….. he won’t notice at any point he will have a child running around”
“I don’t know what to think” Riley responds before flopping herself on the sofa. The resounding jolt made Riley’s stomach flip before she ran immediately to the bathroom to be sick.
“Riley, you have to tell him” Olivia reasoned when Riley walked out of the bathroom.
“Then what?” Riley questions.
“He won’t marry her, that’s what!” Olivia answers.
“Exactly!” Replies Riley. “he will break of the engagement for the American who had an affair with a Nobel during the social season.”
“But” Olivia attempts to interrupt Riley now futile as Riley continues
“the press headlines, I can see it now “is King Liam the father of Lady Riley’s baby?” Do you know the damage this could do to Liam’s reputation if the public and press knew we were having an affair during the engagement tour? It would ruin the monarchy no one would trust him…I won’t be responsible for the collapse of his reign.”
“Well I think Constantine has a hand in the blame for that one” Olivia replied. “Had he not meddled, both you and Liam would be heading back from a successful engagement tour, looking forward to a stronger monarchy and reign. So, it’s not all down to you.”
“Nevertheless Olivia” Riley responded “the situation is what it is, finding Tariq was my only and last hope for this to work out as I wanted….a family….Liam and I with this baby”
“I still think you should tell him, it is not your call to make or assume his decisions for him” replies Olivia. “It’s his child” she says with one last attempt. “I mean It….if you don’t decide to tell him!....I WILL!”
Anger and fear immediately floods through Riley’s body “don’t you dare….I mean it….you can’t….” Riley can now feel herself beginning to panic, her breathing quickening and the room spinning, just the same as the night before. “I…can’t…..breathe” Riley says in a halted panicked voice.
“Riley” Olivia face becoming grave and her voice now once of concern “please you need to calm down…..breathe…..take a deep breath”
“You…….you……can….” Riley’s words cut short as the room darkens and she collapses into Olivia’s arms.
Present day.
The plane lands on the Runway. Liam could see that crowds of press gathered at the entrance of the airport. He knew they would bombard him with questions the answers of which he truly could not give. Liam gathered up his things ready to leave the plane. He glanced over to Adelaide unsure whether it was a good idea to approach her. Adelaide returned the look and nodded to him. Liam made his way over “Adelaide…I’m sorry”
“Liam, you have to realise she’s my daughter” replied Adelaide
“I know, I” Liam found it wasn’t wise to finish the words to that sentence without a rerun of the earlier argument between them. To hope that it wasn’t Madeline who died, would mean Riley would be lost forever, he knew Adelaide knew this too and in the end Liam felt it better to say “no matter what Adelaide, I’m here for you. Adelaide simply nodded to a Liam and continued to gather her things.
“Your Majesty your press statement” says Bastien handing Liam a piece of typed up paper as he leaves the plane.
Taking the piece of paper from Bastien Liam leaves the plane waking down the stairs towards the hordes of waiting press. Drake, Liam, Adelaide and Bastien all walking alongside one another in unison, keeping their heads down, not giving much away.
As they all made their way through the door into the airport, a flurry of flashbulbs and questions came at them, Liam felt it was as if time slowed down.
“If you allow some quiet, I will read a statement” began Liam. “Last night the Cordonian Ambassador informed the Palace Queen Madeline has been involved in a Road Traffic Accident. The hospital staff have been working hard to provide the best care for the Queen. As you can imagine we are all very anxious to attend the hospital and an update will be provided in due course. Thank you” Liam and the group hurriedly moved off ignoring the questions shouted back to them. “Is the Queen dead?” One reporter shouts through the crowd noise. “Christ” Liam bristles at the question looking at Adelaide who was just about holding it together in the presence of the media. “we better hurry” he continues.
Three years ago
Riley awoke when she was being wheeled into an ambulance with Olivia climbing in after her. Olivia what’s going on? Riley asked.
“You fainted that’s what” Olivia replied
“I’m fine, I don’t need to be in an ambulance” Riley responded.
“Like hell” Olivia scolded. “You obviously need to take better care of yourself, I mean look at you, less than 24 hours since you ended your relationship with Liam and you’re a mess.”
“I just didn’t get the chance to eat any breakfast” Replied Riley.
“Oh yeah! Missing breakfast explains why your wearing your pyjamas at 3pm, and you look like you not slept in a year” Olivia responds. “Face it, I’m right and your wrong”
“I’ll concede that today is not the best day for me, but really Olivia hospital?”
“Yes! If your insist on staying here, I have to know you can be trusted to look after this baby, after all it’s the child of a King.”
The paramedic on hearing this drops the blood pressure cuff he was going to place on Riley’s arm. “Olivia… don’t” Riley countered shaking her head. Picking the BP cuff up, he proceeded to take Riley’s vitals.
“140/90” the paramedic stated as he was depressing the BP cuff.
“Is that okay?” Riley asked.
“Well it’s slightly higher than we would like, but it’s nothing to worry about usually, your doctor will keep a routine check on it to make sure it stays stable” he replies. “How far along are you?”
“I’m not sure” Riley replies looking down towards her hands avoiding looking up toward Olivia.
“For the lov…” Olivia exasperated voice now evident “Riley what do you mean you don’t know, please don’t tell me you haven’t seen a doctor?”
“No Olivia I haven’t….I have been rather busy you know hunting down photographers and chasing credit card numbers around the world you know” Riley retorted back.
“How far along do you think you are?” Asked the paramedic interrupting them both, the conversations between these two were by far the strangest he’s heard for a long time.
“Sorry?” Asked Riley leaving Olivia’s gaze and turning toward him.
“When was you last monthly period?” He replied
“Erm about 13 weeks ago” she muttered
“So late September?” He questioned
Riley slightly nodded in reply.
What seemed like forever to get there they both finally arrived at the hospital. The hospital looked quite grand, Riley looked at Olivia knowing she must have asked the paramedic to bypass the nearest one and take her to the best hospital in NYC. Olivia shrugged innocently. Riley taken through to the ER department and soon assessed by the triage nurse. “Just get you settled in and have a doctor come round and examine you, But first I am going to examine your vitals again” Riley nodded in response. Soon Riley was settled into a bed wearing a hospital gown. Shortly afterwards the doctor arrived. “Good evening Miss Holligan, I’m Dr Reaser. How are you feeling?”
I’m fine doctor Reaser, nothing to worry about, just didn’t eat breakfast that’s all” she replies.
“Well, your blood pressure is ever so slightly higher than we would like. Are you under any due stress at all?” Asks Dr Reaser.
Riley gives a snort and he raises an eyebrow to her. “Just burning the candle at both ends I suppose” she answers. “Yes, the paramedic mentioned you were discussing some travel you both had recently done.” He questions.
“Yes, you could say that” Olivia mutters, “just sightseeing” Riley responds quickly before Olivia can say any more.
“Well I am going to order some blood samples to be drawn, and we’ll need a urine sample too, I’ll order an ultra sound, make sure the baby is well.” He replies.
While the nurse was working with Riley. Olivia left them alone to find a coffee shop in the grounds, she badly needed the caffeine injection into her system. Turning her phone on, she had a few missed calls and texts from the others asking if she was okay. She quickly sends a send to all text in response “yes everything is fine. Met an old friend while shopping went for dinner, will be back late. O.” The text was much easier than to lie to people at this moment. Besides she doesn’t even know if and what should be said. Olivia later returned to Riley with two coffees. “Not the best drink for a pregnant woman” Riley states as Olivia hands her a cup. “Oh shit! Your right, I’ll find you some wine instead” she replies “Olivia!” Riley’s responds, then both of them start laugh. It was a laugh needed to break the tension of the long day they both had.
At that moment Dr Reaser Enters the room. “Miss Holligan good time to interrupt I hope, but we have your tests results.” Entering the room further standing next to Rileys bedside he continues “Your blood tests show you are a little dehydrated, so we would like to keep you in overnight and give you some IV fluids and be sure that your blood pressure remains stable.”
“Thank you doctor but I don’t think I could afford to stay here” replies Riley, “my health insurance wouldn’t cover this…”
“Nonsense” Olivia cutting off Riley in mid-sentence. “I have it covered, thank you doctor she will be staying” Riley was glaring at Olivia, who was deliberately ignoring the looks.
“Good” replies Dr Reaser “we’ll get you settled in upstairs once I’ve done your ultrasound”
A flurry of excitement flooded Riley this was the first time she would see her baby, then sadness filled her Liam should be here. A few short minutes Dr Reaser returned with the ultrasound equipment. “Now Miss Holligan” did the nurse explain we need you to have a full bladder for this, do you have one?” “Yes she did, and yes I have” Riley bristling at the question. “Good…Good” replies Dr Reaser. “Now we’ll get you comfortable, if you lie back” he continues and hands her some paper sheets “now use the this paper covering your lower half of your body, while lifting your gown up over your stomach” Riley does as she is asked “some cold gel” Dr Reaser warns as he spreads some lubricant gel over Riley’s lower stomach. “Ah here we are” Dr Riley proudly announces turning the screen towards Riley and Olivia. “Hears the heart and it’s beating beautiful, here you can hear it” whoosh whoosh whoosh the sound of the heartbeat filled the room. Tears began to fill Riley’s eyes. “From the growth measurements I would say your baby is around 12 weeks.” Dr Reaser added “everything is looking good….upstairs the OB doctor will discuss your pre-natal Care and get you booked into future appointments….. Okay?” Dr Reaser Smiled “Any questions?” He asked While handing Riley a picture of the baby during the scan. Riley shook her head signalling a no response while mesmerised looking at the scan picture. Her baby….Liam’s baby….their baby. She began to think for a moment could she keep this from him??? Turning her head towards Olivia, Riley solemnly says “your right he deserves to know.”
Present day.
Drake, Liam, Maxwell, Adelaide and Bastien make their way to the waiting car. On route to the hospital, Drake reaches in his pocket to grab his phone intending call Olivia letting her know they have arrived safely. Realising he forgot to switch his phone back on after charging on the plane when the battery drained. Drake switched his phone on. The car sounds filled with multiple beeps and pings coming from the phone as it booted up. Drake, Maxwell and Liam all looked at one another. Drake panicked thinking something was wrong with Thomas his three-month-old son he and Olivia have. She was never one to blow up his phone. Drake returned the call “Liv… what’s wrong is Thomas okay?....then what’s?.....yeah he’s next to me…..why?.....yeah we heard Holligan was in the car too…how weird is that?.....we haven’t heard about…..Liv….Liv you’re not making any sen…..” Drake held onto the other end of the phone listening intently his eyes widening. Liam and Maxwell clearly aware something was wrong. “HOW IN THE HELL C….” Drake halts mid-sentence. “Okay…okay…You should have told me Liv” Drake cuts of the call.
“What’s wrong? Liam asks Drake, “has Olivia heard anything?”
“Liam” Drake sighs “we need to talk.”

you said in a post that you don't read anymore, because of your vision. Do you listen to audiobooks instead? :) My vision is getting worse by the week, and I fear I soon can't read anymore. If you listen to audiobooks, do you have any good recommendations?
Hey, Anon!Sorry it’s been a few days since you asked, I haven’t been able to use the computer again since; I don’t personally listen to audiobooks (podcasts are more my thing, though I really should get into audiobooks), so I asked a couple of my friends who I know do.I’m not sure if these are really going to be up your alley, so if they’re not, you’re more than welcome to come back and ask for more specific recommendations (like genre, themes, etc.) and I’ll see what I can do!
One of them listens to a lot of Cathy Glass, and her audiobooks are memoirs about when she’s fostered kids; he warns it won’t suit everyone, but he likes reading about how she’s helped the kids she’s fostered.Coming with a content warning for kidnapping and violence, he says that Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series is really good!And another non-fiction, and more geared toward those with knowledge of psych but is still good for those who don’t, is Human Magnet Syndrome: Why We Love People Who Hurt Us by Ross Rosenburg; it’s good for anyone wanting to understand more about the dynamics of abusers and why people stand by them, even to their own detriment. He also says it does a good job at not throwing people with NPD under the bus, which is definitely a good thing.
The other friend suggests the Martian by Andy Weir, the book having been written as a series of logs, and so it works incredibly well as an audiobook, as audio logs fit the theme and style of the written book.
Again, if these aren’t your thing, you’re welcome to come back, and I’ll ask around for you some more; I may get more into audiobooks since I get my hearing aids next week, which will make it much easier for me, so I may have more recommendations soon!
Edit:So @allycatposts-blog sent me a few suggestions as well; a general warning for violence for all of them; these are all fiction, bar the last.I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison is about the last five humans who are trapped in a super computer, and their struggles to find food.They also recommend Paingod (the short story) by Harlan EllisonWhilst I haven’t listened to the audiobooks, I do very much enjoy Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s series, and they recommend the audiobooks as narrated by Stephen Fry; the series is very well-known, though the other four books in the trillogy—yes, a five-book trillogy; the others being the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe, and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless—are lesser known by many than the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, even though they know the plot of the whole series as it follows Arthur Dent’s life post-destruction of Earth.Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a book about a man trying to write about World War II, but ending up travelling through time and facing all manner of oddities in the process.Another recommendation from them is Mogworld by Yahtzee, where self-aware MMO characters have to deal with this fact.Laura Jane Grace’s autobigoraphy Tranny, which is centred around her transition and life touring, is also really good, from what they’ve told me, and again they recommend the audiobook, which she narrates herself, and this adds an extra dimension to the text.
