We have cougars and bears outside the city here, but since I live in the city, the worst I have to deal with are raccoons (though those are kinda scary; one of them took out our neighbour's chickens...).
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Well at least we'll be prepared, although if the violin music is 'screechy' then at least it might not be as effective as those of the average nøkken/fossegrim - i don't want to be lured into no bogs or rivers, that's for sure ;)
Just be careful to keep the mud away from your keyboard...

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

I'm sorry, I really really tried to stop myself from doing that but I failed the first step.

You are now my favorite person. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

not sure if I'm a huldra, nøkken or fossegrim, but whatever it is I suck at my job ahaha

honestly, luring people into bogs is not paid well enough,, and people steal my mushrooms and shiny rocks
you'll know where to find me.

Fechez la vache!

Funny story! So my dad works at an international company that draws employees from all over the world. It's not too uncommon for someone from another country to be transferred into the US for a few years, so my dad naturally built up a good collection of foreign friends, including one very good friend who is French. So he was chatting with his friend and a couple of his other French coworkers, and he decides to try and impress them with his nonexistent French-speaking abilities. He waits for an appropriate moment in the conversation and says, very loudly and confidently "Fechez la vache!" and his coworkers look at him like he grew an extra head. Apparently, "Fechez" is not a real French word ::)

I haven't seen the film, but I saw spamalot for the first time this summer with my parents. They grew up with the guy who played the narrator/prince Herbert/not dead Fred/the bucket knight. He's a very cool guy, and when my mom told him I'd never seen the play, he gasped and shouted, "You're a VIRGIN?!?!" Overall just a very silly night. ;D
