I made a video explaining who the Draugr of #Norse Mythology are.

I explain in under 5 minutes how they're intelligent, super powered zombie vampire revenants who can shape shift, control weather and much more.

Yes, I've been playing too much #Skyrim

@DragonNexus @ManyATrueNerd Truly living up to its name!

@JakeTAAG @zelina_fae @Finbars9 @ManyATrueNerd Ah yes, the perfect moving forward strategy. Also known as the close your eyes and hope it goes away approach.

You know that the vaccine has be shown to be effective, but is not 100% effective. So, again, you're just fishing

@JakeTAAG @Finbars9 @ManyATrueNerd You know the correct answer to that, you're just fishing.

Snorri Sturluson has to be one of the most interesting people ever

Lawspeaker, richest man in the country, Baron of Norway, arguably the saviour of Iceland, arguably selling Iceland out twice, nephew who was his nemesis

It's game of thrones level stuff

A look at Snorri Sturluson - the man who gave us the prose Edda but, more importantly, must rank up there with the most interesting people in history.

Had my first covid jab on Saturday. The AZ Oxford one.

Side effects yesterday: whole body ached.

Side effect today: headache

Main effect: not dying of covid.

100% worth the side effects

@steveladhams Judging by her the way her hair sticks up, I suspect she even surprised herself!

@wills4223 Love the blood on the sword, great job on all of it.

But is he drying his sword with a chaos rag? No way that can go wrong ;)

@Leeroybrownhu9 That's awesome!

I swear there's not a week that goes past without me cursing the fact my mother gave my collection of transformers away as a kid!

@dogma2097 Happy birthday!

[Junkmek 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @junkmek]

@wartrader @dogma2097 I was 38 for 2 years

Not because I was lying about my age, my Mrs told me I'd got my age wrong about being 37, and I believed her (I frequently forget). It was only when I was filling in my DoB on something I realised her mistake, just before I really turned 38!

40 next year.

Just in case you think I'm going crazy (as it sounds bizarre), it was in Vampires and Watchmen: Categorising the Icelandic Undead by Armann Jacobson

(I'm mostly including this in the hope I don't sound inappropriate and random)

@Bradalads whilst I follow you for hobby reasons, I actually have a Norse question, if that's ok.

I read in an academic paper the best way to deal with Draugr is cutting off its head & placing its head by it's bum.

It only referred to Iceland tho. Was this common in Norse myth?

[Junkmek 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @junkmek]

Apologies if this isn't something you dealt with, it's just something I'm reading about, happened upon you again for hobby reasons and wondered if you knew if it was Icelandic sagas only or more widespread

Either way, keep up the hobby stuff, I'm a big fan :)
