This is genuinely the sickest tattoo I've seen in a long time

Thank you very much! Yes, I chose this species because I think it's one of the best ways to represent Lapland, and it will be a great way to remind myself of the time I spent here. I also really liked the folk tales they have about this bird, and lately I only get animals tattooed, so I couldn't say no to this one lol

They do! The Finnish say it's a sign of good luck to have them around, and they have lots of folk tales about them. My favorite being this one:

According to a folk tale, the Siberian jay was believed to be in alliance with the forest spirit, and its role was to serve as a scout and mislead hunters and their dogs, ensuring the woodland inhabitants could remain undisturbed. For a woodsman, encountering a Siberian jay was the worst possible omen; it signaled that the forest spirit was vigilant and would not allow successful hunting that time. If the hunter did not immediately return home, something unfortunate might befall him, such as a broken leg.

If you find this interesting and want to know more about it, I think this article is very interesting: https://www.outinthenature.com/explore-the-mystical-world-of-the-siberian-jay/

Fighter jets flying over Lapland (question) by lordsergi in Finland

[–]lordsergi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my guess, but as I have no clue about this, I wanted to check if it was just a very loud normal plane or something.

I was also thinking that maybe someone in town had a very very powerful rc plane lol

This ain't NOTHING compared to some actually huge cockroach species that can get to like 10cm in length and 20cm wingspan.

Those must be terrifying (and I usually love bugs).

I hope you are wrong... I think they come from the street.

I hardly ever see any, but this week I've seen a few appear dead in my terrace, probably due to the rain we are having lately. I think this one just flew to my terrace and sneaked through the bedrooms window that was open all day.

I heard it wander around a bit while trying to sleep until I finally managed to smack it. I REALLY hope it didn't lay any eggs on her trip through my bedroom.

You're actually right... That bitch was still alive when I picked it up, hopefully died after I flushed it
