@rjschwalb So in #SotDL Faeries can usually only "naturally" reproduce by splitting their souls, right? What about Goblins? They're famously fecund, do they just keep shredding their souls into smaller and smaller pieces, or are they getting new souls from somewhere else?
@Jmercado701 @MediocreLewder@ScarfDragon @RivalFortune Personally I'd prefer to point out that the vast majority of Greek Gods were gay. Zeus had his lover Ganymede (otherwise known as the constellation Aquarius) Apollo had Hyacinth (whom he turned into the flower after killing him by accident), and Poseidon had Nerites.
@Scurvy_Dan@ScarfDragon In most stories, Odin had to learn seidr magic from Freyja, and often he is said to have been required to wear a dress while learning it. While the act itself is typically depicted as unmanly, Odin was considered to value the wisdom that Seidr magic brought to be of greater value
@Vibes810@seankent Insurance precautions? People often blame the cyclist because of the stereotype of recklessness. A video of the incident avoids that. Russians also have cameras on cars for similar purposes. (though there the issue is people running in front of cars to feign injury for lawsuits.)
@Ahasimer@washingtonpost@HouseDemocrats Those involved in the 9/11 bombing were primarily from Saudi Arabia. Their country is one of the most fundamentalist nations on Earth. They execute gay people in stadiums. They're essentially ISIS with oil money. Yet Trump lets them get away with murdering American residents.
@StephanieRuff3@washingtonpost Antifa hasn't killed anyone. 372 Americans were killed by domestic terrorists between 2007 and 2016. 74% were killed by the right wing, 24% by Islamic extremists, 2% by Leftwing extremists (Anarchists and Black Nationalists). Notably though none by Antifa or Black Lives Matter.
@Spatula8 @tomtomorrow It really says a lot about the people who believe that people who try to be nice to others must have a self-serving ulterior motive.
@LateSkald Fortunately most Norse sources state that murderers do not get into Valhalla. Such a crime, the worst in Norse society, landed you in Náströnd, the corpse shore, where you were gnawed upon by Níðhöggr, the cursed dragon for all eternity. I'm sure the place is swimming in Nazis.
@MaleSylph @vexwerewolf Surprisingly it was actually Heimdall's. Loki did go with him to pull it off, but Heimdall took a very out-of-character moment to be the one who came up with the weird yet clever plan that week.
@AllKindaFoxish @Nash076 (2 of 2)... he was then sent to a new jail (likely because he was abusing his privileges with the old one by sending emails) that's for high-profile people like spies and terrorists. He's under protective custody there, which limits his inmate interactions, but it's not solitary.
@AllKindaFoxish @Nash076 While I agree that solitary is cruel in principle. Manafort's confinement was not. He was reportedly being given special treatment, private bathroom, phone line he could use freely, and even a computer which he could send emails through (though he wasn't supposed to.)... (1 of 2)
@SubsonicMonkey @chelsmark@ZenZenith @merrymagica Same here I could actively feel my emotions being manipulated by sappy music and a sad looking dog, even while actively thinking "This looks like the cheesiest paint-by-numbers story I've ever seen and I now have no reason to ever watch it because I know the whole goddamn story."
@jonnbridges@JamesHunt Additionally, some legends actually have Mordred taking Clarent after he takes over the kingdom during Arthur's absence (to go deal with the traitorous Lancelot). He then fights Arthur and mortally wounds him, while he himself is killed by Excalibur.
@jonnbridges@JamesHunt In most versions the Sword in the Stone either isn't given a name or is called Caliburn or Clarent. It makes Arthur is king, but usually isn't Magical beyond that. Arthur usually receives Excalibur after the original sword is broken or else he needs a better one for a fight.
