My former Faroese housemate moved back to the Faroe Islands some time ago and one day she sent me a photos of some weird horse shaped thing made of wires and filled with stones placed in the sea close to the airport. She was basically like "Look at this shit! Why they do that!?" I assume they were inspired by the creepy demon hose at the American airport?
Faroe Islands and Iceland are close friends because they have pretty similar cultures. What they call a fun night out the rest of us call a horror show.
@sinarby
I don't see anything hateful about that though.
SATW has a high concentration of genuinely autistic people anyway, some of which I know more personally at this point, none of which would get worked up about my usage of the word autism.
@Finn123 Sure, certain people with autism might not get offended. Heck, I'm autistic, and I'm not necessarily offended by your use of the word. It's more that you seem to think that in order to like a certain thing, you have to have autism. The two have no link. I know it was a joke, but still, I'm sick of that stupid stereotype.
@sinarby
Stereotypes have a seed of truth, not all autists like stuff like that but self proclaimed autists
are generally overrepresented in those groups. Well, and on this site in general.
@Finn123 Sometimes, Stereotypes have a seed of truth, but most of the time, there may have been just one individual it was based on, or (such as that of MLP fans) it may have been just made up by people's assumptions of how those people must be like.
Meanwhile, America has the Blue Mustang (also known as Blucifer), at the Denver International Airport... Denmark would probably find that creepy too... No idea why.
@Lichruler Well, I don't want to complain, but the way it looks at you makes me want to run away D:
I am happy fire isn't part of the display... It would certainly give the vibes of a hell horse >.<
@Kummerspeck We love Blucifer in Denver. He's our local demon protector.
He's not the only big blue creature in Denver we also have Big Blue Bear. As far as I know Big Blue Bear has never killed anyone. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/11827
reminds me of when me and my dad went to Denver to see my cousins and his sister. when we got there I saw Blucifer, as I hear it's called, and while my dad looked terrified, I was all 'HORSEY HORSEY' and jumping up and down.
"Nykurin"
A legend talks about Nykur (Nix), a scary creature that lives in lakes and often resembles a beautiful horse. It is easily identified by its grey colour and backwards hooves, It lures people close, grabs them and pulls them to the bottom of the lake. Once upon a time, children had gone to play by the lake. Nykur came to them in the shape of a horse and they climbed on its back to play. The smallest boy, who could not get up on Nykur, was frightened and called out to his brother, Niklas: “Brother Nika” (he had not learned to talk yet). Nykur, thinking his name was called, lost its power and disappeared, and the children were saved. Nykur loses all its power when called by name.
And if more people accepted pony hugs, the world would know peace.
