I’m sure it’s been said before but felting is just so wonderful. I get to repeatedly stab something and somehow it turns out looking better than before? A lot more things should work like that honestly.

I held off watching Nimona for a while so I could see it with some friends that had I been tracking its production with. I love it. My soul is happy. It was a departure from the book, but in the best way possible. I first read it when I was much younger and much more scared of the world, and it felt like catharsis. Maybe this sounds dramatic, but at the climax I really felt like just screaming with Nimona. Screaming for little me, and for all the other LGBTQ+ kids that grew up with these feelings of loneliness and hurt. I feel seen, which isn’t something I say about movies often.
Thank you ND Stevenson, thank you Riz Ahmed and Chloë Grace Moretz, thank you Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, and thank you to all the animators and artists who had to miss many dinners to make this happen.
Happy.

Finally some Lofn appreciation
All right, so we've seen this post by @fuckyeahcoffeeandequality
Tumblr media
And they're absolutely correct. Some people actually say that Lofn and other goddesses are just different names or aspects of Frigg and/or Freyja, but I am wary of these claims since there are very few sources for norse mythology and there could be many reasons why there is much less written about the goddesses than the gods. But that's just me, and I am by no means an expert in the field. Snorri's Edda does say that Lofn unites those for whom marrige is forbidden, though, and that sounds pretty gay.
A little digression, bear with me I promise I have a point. Lavender has been used as a symbol for homosexuality and queerness for quite some time, and the colour purple even longer. "The Lavender Scare", "Lavender Menace" and "lavender marrige" are all terms and names from queer history, and the colour and the flower came to be empowering for queer people.
Tumblr media
WELL
In Icelandic, the name for lavender is 'lofnarblóm', literally translated as 'the flower of Lofn'. The plant is not native to the island and the word seems to be quite recent (the first written example of it I can find is from 1986), in all the other nordic languages they call it some sort of variation of lavendel, except for Faroese, where it appears to be called 'bath plant' (I'm so sorry, I don't speak Faroese). There are a few other words that start with lofnar-, most likely as a reference to the goddess, but most of them seem to be rather old and/or uncommon. I have no idea why 'lofnarblóm' was chosen as a translation for lavender. Knowing icelandic history, the queer connotation was probably not on purpose, but I can't help but get excited about the connection.
TL;DR: Lavender (aka the gay flower) is named after Lofn (aka the gay goddess in norse mythology) in icelandic

If you have environmental anxiety please read this!
today my wisdom is: the ecological crisis of our planet is not a thing that will Suddenly destroy us sometime in the next century—it has taken decades of continuous work for our biosphere to be preserved thus far, and it will take decades more of continuous work to continue preserving it.
The apocalypse is not a single event hovering in the future bearing down on us while we sit helplessly. We are at least 150 years into an ongoing "apocalypse."
Things will continue to steadily get worse without steady action, but "augh! it's already too late to stop climate change and mass extinctions!" is specifically the worst response

VERY MUCH SO.
Sometimes a little bit of spoiler is delicious. Sometimes you learn a bit of info about where a story is going and you go "OH! I can't wait to find out how they get there!"
Obviously I wouldn't go out of my way to spoil something for someone who didn't want it, I'm just saying... sometimes it's a little tasty.
