So, I may have already put some backhanded reference to him in a post. And I may have been pondering for a while if it was the case to spam him all over the place  - it was, it still is.

But someone says it much better than I think I could. I don't know what the hell happened and I don't think I even want to know, because I know I'd just get angry at the whole world for an unreasonable amount of time (yeah, that's something I do), but I agree with this post on so. Many. Levels.

Seriously, I'm not heathen or pagan and I don't even have tumbrl, I'm just a cluesless Norse Mythology fangirl who reads the gods as characters to squee over or - in her best days - as archetypes and costructions born out of a certain kind of society. But GLE's askblog is one of my favourite things on the Internet.

You want interesting aricles? He has them. You want books and essays? He'll point you in the right direction and give links where he can. You're tired of people telling you their UPGs are totally the complete and universally accepted truth, misquoting stuff and trying to make you feel like an idiot because you don't know stuff that doesn't even happen in the lore, copying random stuff from Raven Kaldera, pretending to destroy misconceptions once and for all while actually serving you only not-too-plausible theories, and NEVER FUCKING SPELLING OUT JUST WHICH FUCKING SOURCE THEY'RE USING TO SUPPORT THEIR CLAIMS? GLE saved me from a life of repeatedly headdesking every single time I look up something Norse-related on the Internet.

Also, he is a really great guy. He's helpful, honest, intelligent, always ready to call out racism, sexism and every other shitty -ism. Sometimes he posts things that make me want to hug him so much. With him, you can always be sure to learn something new about Norse Myths or heathenry in general without having to face lots of triggering stuff.

So, yeah. Just check him out and have your mind blown by his sheer awesomeness, 'kay?

Don't really know if posting this is gonna do any good. Heck, don't even know if anybody at all reads this.
Still, this is important and sharing it might help someone. I can't really donate anything right now, but I at least can do this, even if it's such a small thing.

Have a Greek-and-Roman mythology AND Greek-and-Roman history kinkmeme, too. 'Cause, why the hell not?
You KNOW you want to fill the lovely Achilles/Troilos prompt. Don't even try to deny it.It's just calling to you, don't you hear it?

Also the gorgeous Horace/Vergil one
sigyn_halja: (thorki crossdress)
Hey, you! Yeah, you with the thick shipping goggles and the bizarre, unusual kinks. I know you.
You're the ones who read Thrymskvida and write crossdressing!Marvel!Thorki, the ones who start giggling madly every time someone says "Loki" and "horse" in the same sentence and know the "Jotnar = nature and feminine" theories because "OMFGs Tom Hiddleston as a hot intersex guy". You're the ones who watch Jesus Christ Superstar once and ship J/J for the rest of your lives, the ones who watch Supernatural or read Good Omens and suddenly get a craving for wing!fics and angels with way too many heads. You're the ones who manage to ship Achilles/Patroclos even in That Horrible Movie, and the ones who ship Apollo/Dyonisus but never bother to write anything about it - and I'll never get why.
But you're so much more than just that, aren't you? You're the ones who remember all the times Zeus turned into an animal to spice thing up with a maiden. You're the ones who know that Odin crossdresses too, and that his wife was quite fond of her brothers-in-law. You're the ones who read the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and are more interested in the amount of manly totally-not-romantic slashy kisses than in the magic or the possible death of the hero.
Let's face it, you probably look at Japanese Mythology and think, "yeah, this could use more The Fisherman's Wife's Dream-like moments". You read the Epic of Gilgamesh and say, "Why didn't he just have a threesome with Enkidu and that hot goddess?".
And that's okay. Mythology is all about shagging and killing and shagging again and you know it. What is NOT okay is not doing anything about it!
That's way you ARE going to prompt and fill something for mythology_kink.


Click for awesome!


Let's face it: this community is dead. No one prompts or fills anymore.
But isn't it a real shame? And wouldn't you like to be able to read quality fanfictions about your favourite mythological pairings, the ones that nobody else ever seems to know? Wouldn't you like to write it yourself? To explore an incredible range of kinks, from the classic adultery to things like crossdressing and Mpreg and incest and gore and femdom and slash and femslash? My Fandoms have all that kind of stuff and so much more - what about yours? Well, I guess your Fandoms don't even have mind-blowing beauties and demigods of incredible strenght and stamina ...
Still not convinced? Fine. That's your problem. I'll have sea monsters and adventures and godly sexy-times while you have your tenth arranged marriage-and-they-have-cheap cultural differences-and-angst-and-vaginas-and-a-baby Marvel!Thorki fic in a row.
Bye!
