About this blog - info :>
âťď¸ Welcome to my little ask blog where I draw a large portion of my inspirations from Scandinavian (though admittedly from a mostly Norwegian centered view) folklore, folk beliefs, and history through the perspective of, and how the Scandinavian devil, Fanden\Fan\Faen, as they are called was perceived.
Here you will also meet a few other characters who are both friendly and unfriendly. Human and not. Feel free to ask them questions as well if youâre interested in them, though itâd be nice if you clarified who youâre asking about.Â
âťď¸ The blogâs host is called Termite, and I go by They\Them pronouns. :>
Thatâs about all you need to know about me, hahaw. I just have a special interest and find the whole process of the Viking age, Christianization, witch persecutions, folklore and folk tales wholly FASCINATING. Concepts doesnât stem from nothing and knowing even just a few parts of it slots things into interesting places.
Iâm just here to bring SOME of my ideas to life, hahaw.
âťď¸ Here you can expect the occasional comic about either a personal story of my making, a visualization of a folkloric concept, or a retelling of folk tales, Fun facts, and all that fun stuff. And of course questions I answer whenever I am lucky enough to get them, hahaw!Â
âťď¸Â The way I answer questions is that I go through a 4 answer options (though deviations might happen):
1: If the question doesnât spark much VISUAL inspiration, Iâll answer through text. Maybe I will at a later time retroactively draw something when the inspiration strikes. 2: A visualized, but straight forward answer that acknowledges the questioner. 3: A comic written to be ca about the question that will answer it, even if the answer itself wonât acknowledge the question and might be left a bit open ended. Think of it as a snippet of a story. 4: OOC \ Blog related requests are fun too.
If you want to ask the person behind the blog, please phrase your question as ââOOC: [insert thing you want to say here]ââ or ââTo the Mun\Termiteââ, Iâll more than happily ramble about whatever.
âťď¸ Small rules to follow, Iâll be brief:
-Donât spam. If youâre afraid Tumblr ate your ask, Iâd be happy if youâd say so in the follow up ask. ^^
-Be respectful and donât send in explicit NSFW questions. I am ok with NSFW themes (on my own terms) but keep it reasonable.
- Donât send me fetish related questions or requests. Even non-sexual ones as I donât consent to it.
- Please understand that IC =/= OOC.
- I I do not consent to anyone reposting, using the art I create, or turn my art into NFTâs. Unless I draw explicitly FOR YOU, my art is all mine.
- I can do mistakes, and while theyâre never intentional, may happen. I might misinterpret a source, translate something wrong (gods I hate old danish-Norwegian and dialect texts... Norwegian might be my first language BUT WHY DO THEY SPELL IT ALL LIKE THAT), and accidentally not see through historical bias. I am just mentioning that, so that if you notice something like it, that youâll hopefully understand itâs not from a place of malice.
- If you have any neat book recommendations on Scandinavian history and folklore, GIMME.
âťď¸ Most of, but unfortunately not all, of my sources Iâll likely draw from:
