I'm Reading Dr. Jackson Crawford's Translation Of The Poettic Eddas And I've Found It Great So Far. His

I'm reading Dr. Jackson Crawford's translation of the Poettic Eddas and I've found it great so far. His style of translation is very good at making the text accessible without stripping away the substance of the text.

He also made a fun translation of the Havamal into a cowboy that is so unnecessarily well done that it's funny.

Im trying to read the poetic edda so that i can actually understand the mythology im obsessed with but i have quickly realised that the translation im reading is udder garbage, it said that odin adopted loki which is not true theyre blood brothers not adopted father and son.

So does anyone know of any better translations?

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

you ever see someone so coked-up on adulthood that they've replaced every shred of interiority with a regurgitation of normative power structures

i agree as well, although i'm on the fresher side for tumblr. i only joined in 2021/2022 times for fanart and stuff, and i started branching out into other things like the queer community on here, or the political side of tumblr. of course, on other sites there are the same communities, but i think the lack of an algorithm makes it easier for me to seek those communites out instead of waiting for them to come on come generate for you page.

i find myself lurking more often and getting updates from my moots notifications. I think it's more so because i came from platforms like tiktok and instagram, where likes are liek currency, and i'm a lurker on those sites as well so im not surprised with that being how i act on here as well.

Figuring Tumblr out makes me feel like an old woman. Guess that’s the perk of being new. 🤷🏻‍♀️

listen up chucklefucks, i just gotta say. I'm not defending zir, but I'm sad zie deactivated. Like, i get that trauma lasts a long time and the good stuff is maybe easy to forget?? so maybe it's just like that. And my beloved mutual @/pompeyspuppygirl made a post about zir clout chasing behavior, which is pretty shitty behavior if it's true (and if we're canceling someone it had better be pretty severe). anyways now that zie's gone pompeyspuppygirl said it was okay to make this post (again, thanks ppg everyone go follow her--really everyone in this whole drama is worth a follow)

ANYways yeah zie was my mutual and like, reblogged a lot my smaller posts. (that isn't to discredit what my mutual pompeyspuppygirl is saying about zie clout chasing ofc). AND idk zie was always reblogging art from new and undiscovered artists and reblogging donation posts (which if you don't know is really bad if you're trying to clout chase...) (again, though, ppg is my mutual i believe her.) and like, remember on valentines day i tried to blaze zir posts and zie told me to stop because zie didn't want the posts to go viral? (but again ppg is my mutual and has a lot of proof in the Google doc I'm not trying to disprove that I'm just saying what else I know)

Idk, like i feel like a lot of people loved zir's blog a while back, bc like zie DID make some good posts?? So idk why everybody's acting like they aren't even a little bit sad.,. like ngl this feels like maybe all the reasonable people left to Twitter and all the Twitter refugees who love drama came here??? shdfhhdhdhdhdh haha but idk...look idk, i just, julie i do miss you. idk. more thoughts later sorry I'm getting worked up shshs

i totally agree with you guys on this. don't like it? don't read it. this is as someone who goes between the tags because sometimes it's the only loki content i can really get, especially when it comes to new fanart. but i still love to be in the critical tags as well, because no matter how much i love loki in the fandom space, seeing him be butchered so badly still hurts, and the meta on this side is, in my opinion, far better than the other side of the community.

you (anon) can also be intersectional. you can be dialectical in the content you consume because the media that exists will never 100% match what you want it to be. yes, loki (the series) is good, as far as marvel shows go. but it could have been great. it could have taken a deep dive into loki's character, answered questions without explicit answers in the mcu.

can i be disappointed that the degredation of loki's character is connected to tom? absolutely. but what i am not willing to do is to throw him under the bus, because he is not the sole creator in this, and he is just one of up to a hundred people that are to blame for how loki's characterization, some of which are from long before the loki series in thor: ragnarok, infintiy war, and endgame. they set the building blocks for loki's mischaracterization, which is why so many people in the community didn't realize that the character had really been manipulated into something he isn't.

criticism is not inherently disrespectful. as a community, the people who are anti-loki series or critical of the loki series can still have respect for tom. i sure do.

I really hate the anti-Loki series blogs on here. You don’t like it? Ok cool, why make it everyone else’s problem and disrespect Tom as a person? You’re no fan of Tom, you don’t deeply respect him if you act like that.

Then why look at said blogs, anon? No, really, tell me I'm curious. I'm not going to anybody's inbox, unlike some fans, even if I deeply dislike what they enjoy.

I don't think critiquing an actor's work is disrespectful to said actor. You don't even know whether what Tom's saying under Disney's contracts are his real opinions, he is paid to promote the content. Neither you or I know him.

I'm sorry for you if you equate blind praise to being someone's fan. That is not how people interact with media and its creators. You can support someone and still be critical of their work as long as you are not crossing any boundaries of said actor and doing so without attacking them. And yes, I am not a fan of his new releases, that's no secret.
