I got bored while grinding in Ragnarok M: Eternal Love so I started going through @theshitpostcalligrapher’s posts…and my hand tripped and pulled out my very old calligraphy pen and a random notebook and this happened whoops.
I haven’t done any kind of lettering in a decade………..
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth,
And bathed his count’nance fair.
Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar,
I found on the cold pavement
While returning in glory | from a grand hunt
For a 3 AM quesadilla.I need this framed on my wall it’s so beautiful.
ay @systlin hmu
My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.
Solen sken, skönt gyllene
Dagen Tor föddes
På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell
Där låg Loke
—KJN
My translation:
The sun shone, sweet golden
The day of Tor’s birth
On the tarmac, by Taco Bell
There lay Loki
(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)
ay yo show ur husband
@bold-sartorial-statement no but hang on this should be in runes:
(oops spot the typos)
i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it
Sólin skein, björt og gullin
við fæðingu Þórs
á stígnum við Taco Bell
Þar lá LokiThe amount of quality going into these shitposts is amazing
This is not shitposting, this is transformative work!
This is one of the most quality things I’ve ever seen on any media
