Warm-up drawing for something else to come. Because like at least 3 people on my dash have done AgeRegression!Darcy + Darcy as Tony’s Daughter and just !!!!!!! We all know Tony is an absolute marshmallow. Like, pre-arc reactor Tony is a marshmallow covered in a thick layer of asshole but after IM3 he’s a squishy emotional marshmallow with condensed milk in the centre. Maybe he wouldn’t be the most organised dad in the world, maybe Darcy goes to bed too late sometimes or has carrot cake for breakfast from starbucks because Tony fucked up an omelette, but the most important bit is Tony letting Darcy know he loves her. Tony struggles with that sort of thing but he’d get there, he needs one of these moments:

Prompt / plot bunny up for grabs:

howdidthisevenhappenanyway:

Darcy Lewis needs a date and so Nat Romanov gets !An Idea! and makes a be my valentine competition for people to have a date with Darcy Lewis who is Starks Daughter … your Love Interest of choice pays a breathtaking amount of money in competition with Stark who is super weird about Darcy dating for charity considering all of the shit he’s had recorded in the press and everything.

bonus points for Loki being the love interest because he’s a Villain and to be honest it would really piss off Tony; or Clint Barton because he pretends to be super broke all the times; or Pietro except he uses Stark’s credit card

but really it’s up to you if you want it you can have it.

This is a fabulous prompt! *I say as I struggle to keep up with my own ideas*

Tony Stark Authorized Biography by Walter Isaacson.

Isaacson interviewed countless friends, acquaintances, and associates for his six hundred page behemoth about Stark – including the man himself.

Despite being authorized, debate still rages about the legitimacy of some of Stark’s experiences, particularly events falling in the late eighties and nineties. Stark has been unavailable for comment, but did offer up this tweet…

Víkingabók Database Project: Dönsk Tunga Orð (Old Norse Words).

fjorn-the-skald:

Komiði sæl og blessuð, vinir,
(Come happy and blessed, friends,)

This post is part of a collective project called the Víkingabók Database. The goal of this project is to compile various resources, whether as links or lists (particularly of books, articles, or sites), that relate to the fields of medieval Scandinavian and Irish studies. This project began on the 6th of December, 2016. This post may be updated in the future so that the information it contains remains current and applicable. In such instances, an amendment date will be provided. As of the date provided below, you may view this post, and the others associated with it, on the following platforms: Tumblr and WordPress.

This post was last updated on: 12 JAN, 2017.


DÖNSK TUNGA ORÐ (OLD NORSE WORDS):

First off, dönsk tunga is what the medieval Scandinavians themselves called their language, which we now call ‘Old Norse’.(1.) This translates to ‘Danish tongue’, and was likely called such because of Danish political authority, mainly due to their early centralization (among other factors) in comparison to other Scandinavian regions.

As for pronouncing these words, there are two methods for Old Norse. I prefer the modern method, but I have provided both methods, of course. The information can be found in Jesse L. Byock’s book, listed below, but I have also made posts about these methods on this blog. Here are links to those respective guides on pronunciation:

  1. Old Icelandic Method (a bit of an older post)
  2. Modern Icelandic Method

The list provided here on this post is meant more for reference, or, perhaps more appropriately, for the casual learner, or even an already (somewhat) familiar learner. In other words, this list is not meant to learn from (at least not from scratch), but to complement more reliable sources of learning, if not just for casual entertainment and practice. If you would like more comprehensive resources for learning Old Norse, see the citations at the bottom of this post.(2.) 

Here, each word is included in an alphabetically ordered list, including basic (and I do mean basic) grammatical information and English definitions. If any questions concerning this list arise, send them my way via an ask and I will elaborate or explain the issue. More words will be added roughly every thirteen weeks, or every three months. Nonetheless, individuals words are posted once a week, on Wednesday, and can be viewed here.
