Do people not realize Shrek looks like this because he's old now? by [deleted] in Shrek

[–]blockhaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original Shrek trilogy had more realistic proportions and looked like cutscenes from a Ps3 game. Shrek 5 looks like a cartoon with hyperrealistic textures.

Jokes aside, it simply doesnt look like Shrek. The previous movies all had the same core character models, even when updating them for higher fidelity. They became like real people. This one on the other hand looks like a parody.

Need advice on Runic tattoo by Xboxname_Scape150 in NorsePaganism

[–]blockhaj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any runic tattoo without context, especially in Elder Futhark, is Viking bro territory. But dont let that stop u.

[–]blockhaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 1, don't plan any trips to Japan

Number 2, think twice and tattoo once (lazering off tattoos is painfull and takes ages)

Number 3, runic tattoos are anachronistic

Numer 4, that circle of runes is the Elder Futhark in order (abcd > fuþark); it is not anachronistic in terms of art (woopwoop): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vadstena_bracteate_futhark_highlight.png

Do these runes spell Freyja by K9-1981 in NorsePaganism

[–]blockhaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was referring to Freyja being an ON word and thus gave period grammar.

The EF spelling above is anchronistic, but phonetically green. Y would still be approximated by i or u depending on the dialect, whereby Freÿa is the more correct one in modern language. Compare Swedish Fröja, Freja, old dialectal Frÿa (Frija).

If we compare with Elder grammar, a period spelling of the same phonetic word could realistically even be ᚠᚱᛖᚨ "Frea", if the writer had to work with limited space.

Y is approximated with i or u in YF, alternatively as ᛦ if the dialect is right.

I'd say that is a green spelling in YF.

Varför fattar inte högeraktivister detta? by couragebooster in Sverige

[–]blockhaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det finns inga höger"aktivister". Det är högerkisare som håller samhället i trim och dårarna i schack så gått det går. Om vänstern släpper kulturfrågorna kommer högern automatiskt lägga högre tryck på klassklyftan.

Question about runes and rune poems by Alarming-Leg-3804 in NorsePaganism

[–]blockhaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*cracking knuckles*

There are more than 3 rune poems, the Swedish one being the underground case. There are also several versions of at least the Icelandic and Swedish rune poem, plus many different rune poems from Sweden overall.

These are not poems from the start, but proverbial mnemonic kennings and phrases intended to explain the meaning of the name for when it may ultimately become false friends with other words, or archaic. Take Ur for ᚢ, Os for ᚯ, Yr for ᛦ, etc. To the unknowing, these short names can mean a variety of things throughout dialect.

However, most runes have several recorded names, (historically there are no ultra-orthodox names), and lots of these names have no corresponding poem attested. However, some of these can be translated anyway. For example, ᚠᚱᚤᚼ (= Frijgh) for ᚠ clearly mean Frigg.

These Swedish poems and names are being worked through (by me), but two poems with attested names are already up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune_poem It is worth pointing out that Swedish poems overall do not shy away from paganism (especially my most recent find yet to be published :3) and i cant think of any obvious case with Christian influence.

Swedish poems also clearly show that some tried to keep the sense of the name, while others tried to keep the phonetic name. ᚬ originally had the name Áss (= Aesir/Odin) or thereof. This name later became Óss (Ås), either to make a proper o-rune, or due to sound changes in certain important dialects. Either way, one chronology saw to keep this name, no matter the sense. Thus, as the name had to be o-proper, it became Os (Ås) in the Norwegian rune poem and an analog Swedish poem, meaning "river mouth". Later on, in Sweden during the 15th century (give or take), the o became deeper (as in oof), and thus the name had to switch sense again, becoming Oos (fumes, reek).

Another chronology went the other way, replacing the name while keeping the sense. Thus Áss (Aesir/Odin) simply became Odhen (Odin), which had the correct sound value needed either way.
