Reading Notes: Eskimo Folk Tales Part A

Me after reading this story: Image

Isigaligarssik
So that was...interesting. All of this happens within the span of like 3 days and it is a rollercoaster of stuff that just makes no sense at all and is given no explanation. Why does the wizard only want married guys at his spirit callings? Does he steal the wives of everyone who attends? Does he even steal the wives or does he just take their shoes off and annul their marriages? Like what authority does he even have to say "nah y'all can't be married anymore?" Why does the wizard stab people instead of using wizard shit to kill them? Does he even have magical powers or does he just say he's a wizard? Why does Isigaligarssik's dress cure his wounds? How is he able to shrink himself? Why does Isigaligarssik have more magic shit than the literal wizard??? I'm so incredibly confused and I feel like I'm missing so much context. The premise itself is almost Arthurian (a man must save his wife from an evil wizard who has locked her away), but there are no details to explain why or how any of this is happening. Honestly, I may just rewrite the exact story but just fill in the blanks where it makes sense to make this story even halfway comprehensible

Introduction to Brett the Graphic Designer

Hey! My name is Brett Drake and I'm a senior Public Relations major with a Classical Culture minor. I'm from the small town of Wagoner, Oklahoma (if you've heard of it, chances are you're also from northeast OK!) and while I've enjoyed my time here at OU, I can't wait to graduate in May. I want to become a graphic designer in the OKC area after graduation and help local businesses build their brands. My favorite class last semester was Digital Design (surprise, surprise) as it allowed me to really hone my skills as a designer across all different types of media. Me at the Coliseum : Photo by a friend Last summer, as I talked about in my favorite place post , I was able to study abroad in Italy for the month of June, allowing me to finally travel outside of the country for the first time in my life. While traveling abroad had its ups and downs (I arrived in Rome running on a good 3 hours of sleep and had lost my luggage), overall it was an amazing experie

Week 3 Story: Perseus, A DM's Worst Nightmare

Perseus and Andromeda, by Frederic Leighton Dan had been the Dungeon Master for his friends' Dungeons and Dragons group for a while now, and he always looked forward to their sessions on Wednesday nights. Everyone had a good time, and they had created stories that would last a lifetime, one of which was the unfortunate story of Percy. Percy was an acquaintance who was also an avid D&D player. When his group disbanded for unknown reasons, Percy asked Dan if he could join his group. Dan allowed it, welcoming Percy to the group. Percy was insistent that he should be able to keep the same character that he had played in his former campaign. Dan, not knowing what he was agreeing to, let him keep his character. When Wednesday came and everyone sat down to play, Dan began to realize his mistake. "Alright everyone," Dan began. "When we last left off, you all had made your way to the fields of the giant monster known as Atlas. A mountain looms in the dista
