He pines for the fjords,
But hungers for those who
Once were of his kin.

Maybe..Norwegian Blue :)

You have entirely ruined the chillingness of my haiku with this silliness!

They look delicious

Jitter, the story is fantastic! I'll comment more later.

I agree with "Mayday" as this week's prompt. It's interesting and can have different interpretations.

And I would like to suggest that the following week (that starts at May 8/9) could use "Vellamo" and/or "Water" as prompt. The reasom will be evident for anyone checking our calendar... ;)
I thought Grey had suggested water

BTW happy birthday!!

Oh, right… I noticed it at the time but didn’t get it then :) and then I forgot… I’m obviously happy with it!

Okay! As threatened I have decided to post a new 'work of art' I just made: my second gouache painting ever! (Last week, I decided it might be nice to use gouache to plan out my watercolor compositions, so I bought an intro set of three colours + white and black. And then I realized that gouache is another medium with some confusing properties...)

Anyway, Jitter said she wanted something soothing, so here is a tiny sketch of a watery place where she can have a nap (click through for slightly bigger version--but not much bigger as it's a tiny painting):



I hope it's clear what it represents!

Spoiler: show
It's meant to be a very stylized (and noobish) version of page 204. But I added extra flowering lillies!

Absolutely lovely.  I really like it!!

I wrote a drabble to go with it! Warning for potentially creepy behaviour on Lalli's part.

Spoiler: show

“Oh! We’re here again?” Emil held very still, only his eyes moving as he examined Lalli’s haven.  “That’s… fine. I have figured out the trick to not falling in."

“Mmm?” Lalli repositioned his feet, placing one on the edge of Emil’s plank.

“I’m just not going to move! It might be awkward, but I am really tired of getting dunked in swamp-water. How do dream-clothes get so wet, anyway? Besides, you must be getting tired too, of helping me wring them out and hanging them up on trees for me.”

“Mmm,” said Lalli. Before giving the plank a little push.

I like this prompt. I tried to do something myself but did not practice for months and tried to keep it simple (one color two brushes) so sorry for the poor quality.

Moredhel,
That is so lovely.  I am glad you made the art.  It is beautiful to look at. I like all the shading and detail you achieved using just one color.

Tehta,
Two for the prompt how wonderful.  :lalli: <3 :emil:

On the subject of water, here is my post. 

It is a bit weird

Jitter,
In response to your question about Ukko-Pekka
Spoiler: show
In my head cannon it was rape (or date rape) She always seemed very stiff around men in what little you see in the comics.  Even with her two sons wanting a hug.  It was like well if you insist... I always got the feeling Ensi was much more content with females
