Hello Tasertot! I hope you’re doing well and that you’ve had a good Christmas so far! <3

whyndancer:

Thank you Secret Tater! I had a very nice Christmas indeed. I stayed home and had dinner with just my parents and instead of cooking we’d gotten dinner from Whole Foods so it was lovely and there was no clean up.

(I’ve just realized that I never responded to any of your other asks… sorry. The beginning of the month was kind of crazy, they were appreciated though.  And I can totally see Darcy knitting Loki a Horn hat. And then he gets intrigued by all the different things you can make with knitting and crochet and such and starts doing fiber craft himself.  Darcy teaches him the basics but he’s brilliant and talented and good with his hands and he catches up to her skill level rather quickly so they knit together. Darcy quickly amasses a stunning collection of very stylish knitwear in various shades of dark green, black and gold (and some purple because that’s her favorite color and he it gives him such a wonderful feeling when she wears the things he’s made her. And If all the things he makes for Darcy and his friends have protection charms woven in… well… he just wanted to see if it could be done.  The scarf he made Thor may or may not have a minor itching charm knitted in alongside the runes for protection and wisdom, because he knows Thor will wear it anyway.)

20 Images Of Norwegian Architecture Plucked Straight From A Fairytale

The Norwegian countryside is strewn with architecture that looks better suited to crown the pages of a fairytale book. More commonly known for its Vikings heritage and fjords, these photographs display a wide variety of architectural styles that have been used throughout the Middle Ages to the 19th century in Norway. Check out the stunning collection below.

Crooked and towering wooden churches beckoning like an old crone’s fingers, winding stone path weaving through a forest, hidden waterfalls and lonely wooden cabins overlooking a vast valley at its base are some of the outlandish homes and architectural designs we have featured in this series. Teetering Stave churches, eerie waterfalls cascading down like a creature with its own mind, wooden homes made in the typical Norwegian indigenous style called byggeskikk have none of the linearity or conformity that modern buildings do, and have whimsical elements that heighten its sense of magic.  

Each of these structures below have a particular way of being set into its own environment, standing out from the elements without obstructing nature. Most of the buildings and bridges and pathways have been built with stone and wood balance the scene it has been engineered upon.

You know how the old Marvel adage goes, right? Nobody stays dead except Uncle Ben. And Loki had to learn to play dead from someone. Frigga saw what was coming and decided to sit the rest of the MCU out on whatever lagoon planet it is that has cocktails and pretzels and little purple birdie butlers.
