I really liked your story wavewright62. I always saw Mikkel as the sort of person who would be board with farm life. In my head cannon he’s held so many jobs as a way to avoid returning to the family farm.

I also liked the was you ended the story.
 
The ending leaves it ambiguous as to weather this takes place before the expedition to the Danish mainland or weather this takes place after the current adventure has come to an end. If this is before the expedition leaves, than this letter would be from Trond and he’s writing to recruit Mikkel. If this is set after everyone gets back from Finland than this could be a letter from Sigrun, possibly asking him to visit her in Norway and meet her parents. (FYI I totally ship Sigs and Mikkel)
  :sigrun: ❤️ :mikkel:

It is meant to be pre-canon, but somewhat ambiguous as to whether the letter is for this mission, or some other job.  (Trond knew Mikkel from *somewhere* before all this, after all.) 

NB The portraits we have of Michael show him as an adult, clean-shaven and smiling broadly (as Mikkel certainly does not).  The only other piece of info we have is that he's the older twin.  It's up to us to spin out the rest, since I'm fairly well certain Minna no longer will.

As promised here’s a proper scan. It looks a lot better now . Cel phone cameras are great for somethings but not everything.

I see it on moredhel´s post too. Nice one, Queen Yoko! Young Ensi looks adorable, you can definitly see the resemblance to the younger Hotakainens!

As for pictures, try quoting moredhel´s post, then you can see the bb-code with which they embedded the image in the preview.

I find that I have to access tumblr on a desktop, and right-click on the image to copy the image's address, not the url of the whole post.  I cannot do that on a mobile.

That said, these are lovely Hotakainens!

I wanted to do something a little different. These are some warriors ,who are not our heroes, fighting trolls.



I wish I had time to actually make it look good but I haven't had much free time recently.

Wow, Opaque, I think that does look really really good! XoX (Glad to see someone leaning into the war-topic again too.) And those are some really interesting troll-designs! I particularly like the one that kinda looks like a praying mantis.

Wow, Opaque! Great work!

Your trolls also remind me of the kalmahinen monsters in Year in Hereafter (it’s a webcomic). Which incidentally you might like.

Thanks! Glad y'all like it! And Jitter, I have been reading Year in Hereafter for a few months now. It's a really great comic!

Opaque, your picture looks awesome! Your original characters look really cool as do your troll designs. Your trolls have this gross goopy Kathulu-eque quality going on that really works. I don’t know what your talking about when you say you didn’t have time to make it look good.
