This is a wonderful series of comics, and very accurate, except for one point. This isn’t being shy. This is social anxiety at it’s most basic, and could literally be a mirror of my own childhood. Shyness is like a more genuine form of coyness. Blushing, averting your eyes, shifting away from someone who’s a little too close. It’s more rooted in mild embarrassment. This is fear. The worry that you will inconvenience somebody, or make somebody look at you negatively. Even when you’re dying to be noticed, it’s terrifying. What if you accidentally interrupt someone? What if you say something dumb? What if your voice sounds funny? That sort of anxiety can completely shape your whole life, and should be taken very seriously.
everything about this… this statue, the choppy waves, the cliffs behind her, the echo, the drumming….. aesthetic
Lyrics in Faroese:
Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál
Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð
English translation:
Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fire
Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s root
Did anyone else just get the shivers? Cuz I’m definitely getting the shivers.
Btdubs, the singer is Eivør Pálsdóttir.

shoutout to the faroe island for being the only real viking island left
I know the islands are owned by Denmark but this reminds me so much of Iceland
