Favourite rarely mentioned mythical creature?

Sirens — the bird-women specifically, because I feel like people hear siren and think of mermaids (but like. to be fair. that has apparently been a thing since the early 8th century AD according to Wikipedia)

technically it's less that sirens are rarely mentioned and more that they're rarely portrayed as the original version, I guess?

as for actually rarely mentioned: skogsrå, or the huldra

my favourite creature is Näcken but I don't feel as if he's as rarely mentioned? he's just too iconic okay

Movie about a depressed and rather morbid autistic man planning to commit suicide and picking up a number of odd jobs in an effort to raise enough money to meticulously plan and prepay for his funeral so his mother doesn’t have to worry about it after he is gone. He begins to connect with people and enjoy life for the first time while working part time as a greeter in the funeral home, helping an eccentric old lady organize her basement, walking 7 dogs and maintaining a feral cat colony for a guy with a broken foot, playing a number of bit parts in local ads and stocking the shelves at the convenience store at night. In the end, he has befriended many of his neighbors and he decides he does not want to die and goes back to school to become a funeral director instead.

byjove

He is popular at his funeral home gig because he keeps accidentally saying things that are very reassuring and death positive. Because he wants to die. He eventually donates his funeral fund to the old lady’s granddaughter after her sudden death so she does not have to sell her grandmother’s prized possessions to pay for her funeral.

byjove

The old lady gifts him one of her ceramic cats at the beginning of the film which he reluctantly accepts out of politeness. Near the end of the film, he adopts a friendly cat from the cat colony that looks remarkably like the ceramic cat and names it after her, signaling his commitment to surviving and caring for his cat the way the old woman lived for her ceramic collection.

Refresh

Take a walk, I'm told,

It'll clear your head,

Make you feel better.

Course it can do that,

So can writing, reading,

Changing the activity.

Of course a walk does things,

But refreshing? Not always.

Open the window,

Refresh the air inside,

Refresh the flies inside too,

That's something it'll do.

Funny how one's positive

And the other not so much.

Almost like things are connected

Beyond just what we touch.

Find your own way to refresh,

And try guessing what else it does.

love-ardour-anarchism

“If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it, but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality.” Ursula K. Le Guin "American SF and The Other" in Science-Fiction Studies 7, 1975.

Mop

It's a mess

So make it wet

Wet as it can possibly get.

Then mop and swipe

Here and there

Clean around everywhere.

No more dirt,

Only the wet

Then it's clean and we're all set.

Favourite kind of dragon? 👀

Currently ice dragons are invited to target me whenever :D <3

Generally I like the small dragons, like the book version of Toothless or the living dragon models from 'The Fire Within' series from Chris d'Lacey. Small sarcastic but smart enough to cause whatever chaos they feel like

Do you have a poem you've written that you're really proud of?

Interesting question, love that you asked it, but not really. There are some poems that if I remember them I'll love the metaphors or feelings in them, love revisiting whatever they processed, but I've written a lot of poems just because it's part of my routine too.

I'm proud of writing them but even the ones written at profound moments for their impact don't really stick with me. Like the first time I did bedtime poems started 11th August 2009 and lasted till 2nd February 2013. I processed the world through it long before I returned to normal diaries so most of the time I won't be proud, I'll be carrying on with my day, and on the rare times I am, I'll forget soon enough.

Sweep

The world is busy,

Grinding itself down,

Wearing everything out

As quickly as new is made.

Life is hectic.

It leaves all kinds of debris

Makes us scramble on

Even if we sweep it away

Brush the dust outside.

Still we sweep again,

Push the chaos back

Pretend increments help.

Stupid that they truly do.

#poetry #poem #short poem #sweep #social commentary

What's your favourite tree?

It's either a weeping willow for just the vibes of this tree beside water, branches hanging low enough kids pretend to swing on them. It's both playful and protective to me and I love it.

Or it's a Holly tree. Equally protective, but also it's a tree whose leaves need approaching the right way to avoid getting hurt. Explain boundaries like that and maybe people would get them more. Do that and face a knife, be nice and it's a smooth approach.

Is there any colour that you try to find in your surroundings?

green and blue.

Green because I like having plants to look at so looking for green is often the best way to find them.

Blue because if I'm looking for the sky I'm looking up and so many buildings around here get more interesting if you're looking over the shop front. I don't know why every shop has decided their fronts need to be ugly, but I'm fully looking up for the carvings and decorations from yesteryear.

Vacuum

An innocuous word

Full of rage to me.

Perhaps it's normal

And everyone says it,

Has to vacuum sometimes,

Or is it hoovering?

Because that's the rage swap,

That vacuum manufacturers hate.

Because the latter is a trademark,

Only relates to branded hoovers,

While vacuums are the item sold.

Ever been yelled vacuum at

All for saying the wrong word?

Of course it makes the word fill with anger.

#poetry #poem #vacuum #hoover #trademarked words

Bathe

The world touches us,

Changes us and muddies us,

So we bathe to clean it off,

To decide what will remain.

Our bodies change too,

Sweat because of heat,

Shiver for the cold,

And cling to what we touch,

Bathing might not do much

When the world will reach us again.

Still we bathe and get clean

Treat those moments as serene.
