    I haven’t found Mimir’s Fountain yet, so I still have both eyes…

    Oh and also, my beard is not white (yet).

        Just wear the patch. Manifest the desire, and eventually you’ll find your reason! Believe in it, and you’ll pop that ooey, gooey superball outta the socket with a spoon in no time!

      So random little aside, because you’ve said a thing, and I have a thing I enjoy talking about. I don’t need more of a reason than that, stranger.

      In a series of urban fantasy short stories I’ve been writing, a super old term for runic witches (witch being a gender neutral term) is “children of Odin” or “Odin’s heir”

      That’s all. I’m just really proud of that terminology, and I just think it’s neat. Like a potato.

          There’s a couple little snippets on my super duper unmaintained blog, dharmacurious.org

          Otherwise I haven’t really posted them anywhere. I warn you, though, they’re not polished. Very first draft-y. I made the blog for a school project and needed some stuff to post over the course of several months, so I just uploaded them there, and always intended to go and upload the better version and just haven’t gotten around to it. The latest one is a (much better) version of the 20 years later snippet, done as a screen play, though I’ve only just finished act 1.

          Oh, but if you’re interested, runic witches are also called thoths children, earth witches are children of Gaia, or Terra. Fire witches are heirs of agni. Basically super outdated terms only used in, like, poetic senses now, but whatever region of the world you’re from, you’re the child over the patron deity of that thing. Fire God, water/sea god, whatever.

          Tons of other stuff. I’m better at world building than character development. Lol

      You also gotta find Mimir and give him an eye to drink from his well of wisdom. Then after her gets beheaded you gotta keep his head around to talk to sometimes.

    Getting stopped randomly in the street by people trying to find weed or the Greek Orthodox temple, that’s what.
