Hi Sorry I Have A Question. How Do You Become A Person. How Do You Develop The Will To Be A Person. I

Some ideas on how to (re-)connect with nature ♡

⭑ Take a walk through the forest or a park, don't use your phone or listen to music, rather listen to the sounds of nature actively. What can you hear?

⛤ Collect some leaves, rocks, pine cones, feathers or anything else that you think is pretty! Maybe use your bounty to decorate your home with it?

⭑ Go touch some grass! No, this is not a joke, let's go feel the grass between your fingers and toes.

⛤ Try to find some flowers and smell them, what can you compare the scents with? Preferably, go outside and find wild flowers instead if bought ones!

⭑ Take a bath in a lake or dip your hands and feet into the water (a river is perfect, too!) Close your eyes and just feel the water.

⛤ Have a little picnic on a meadow, at the lake, in the forest or at any other peaceful spot. It's a date with yourself and with nature!

⭑ If this is an option for you: do some gardening work. Get your hands all dirty with earth and mud!

⛤ Pick some wild flowers from a meadow and make a little bouquet with them. (But please don't rip out the roots!)

⭑ Talk to the trees. Yes, this sounds silly but a tree is a perfect listener and companion if you need to talk something off of your chest.

⛤ Watch the sunset or sunrise. Enjoy this magical moment. How many colors can you spot?

⭑ Get some houseplants and take good care of them every day. (If you have pets, make sure your new friends are not poisonous for them!)

⛤ Observe. What kind of birds, plants, flowers and trees can you find in your environment? What kind of animals can you meet in the forest nearby? (Maybe write your observations down in a notebook!)

⭑ Lay down on some moss, grass or sand and just exist and feel how the earth carries you.

⛤ Go plant some flowers!

⭑ Spend some time in nature without social media (maybe leave your phone at home!)

⛤ Take a walk in the rain and / or dance in the rain.

⭑ Watch a thunderstorm from a safe spot

⛤ Craft a moss jar (these are so cute and perfect if you want some more nature in your own home!)

⭑ Keep little jars or flasks of the elements in your home (examples: earth - moss/earth/sand, water - water from a lake/river or collected rain water, air - a feather, fire - ashes, a used match)

⛤ Be more attentive to your environment: when do you notices changes in the seasons?

⭑ Have a self-love day, because you are a part of nature as well and deserve your own love!

⛤ Try to actively appreciate nature: be more thankful for the food, the water, the warmth nature provides us

a promise of spring

Tree bark details from April forest walks 🐛

Laurits with better quality!!

Not to be micro-obsessed on main, but I am still hollering about the dinner scene in 1x03. I love all the little tiny things. The way the Jutuls were so hyper focused on Magne they change things to fit what he liked and disliked with barely a blink.

The details are so, so good.

This is all staged. Prepared. And for some reason it makes me cackle to think of Ran at the fucking rich person supermarket with a shopping list 56 miles long (because girl remembers the parties in the old days) and has to bring a semi-truck to haul it all home. They were prepared for anything. The different alcohols. The different types of food. They observed everything. What did he like? What didn’t he touch? It is all tallied and filed away to be considered later.

Magne makes a tiny face after tasting the champagne? It’s gone from the table in the next scene. Replaced by a white wine he seems okay with. A seafood course comes out and Magne’s body language politely says hell no. Saxa immediately tells him to put it down on a plate. Bam. Done. Right there they act like they’ve made a big discovery. We are told the seafood is expensive and hand-picked and the moment Magne shows disinterest they are like, yeah- just abandon that shit on a plate, no worries.

Magne’s face holding the sea creature with the tips of his fingers is me trying to get out of touching mushrooms that have the audacity to touch my food always.

Next they come out with lamb and red wine and for first time Magne displays clear interest. The Jutuls are absolutely thriving now. They refill his glass and encourage him to take more, praising his appetite. (#mood). The next scene, apparently he’s eaten all the lamb meat?! How does Turid feed this boy? You would need to be rich. Like I am legit concerned. Also, side note, I hope the Jutuls have a god-proof toliet he can use after this because god damn. 

Meanwhile, the Jutuls look like Saxa after eating that bird tbh. They are juggling that hot potato over a bonfire because they are so close to figuring Magne out they can basically taste it.

There is not a fucking vegetable to be seen.

Rip everyone’s blown out assholes.

Get these bitches some fiber immediately.

Then, when you think dinner should be done, the main course arrives. EXCUSE ME?!? Rare beef steak is served and somehow Magne is still hungry. Once again, Magne is the only valid man to exist ever. They serve him like ¾ of an entire cow and Magne is grinning because this boy has waited his entire life to be truly full, I guess?

It is upsetting how much I wish that were me.

That beef steak looked fucking amazing.

At this point Laurits is full just watching Magne eat I am assuming. I would love to have his inner dialogue as Magne destroys everything they put in front of him like he does this everyday. Portion control? He doesn’t know her.

Laurits is amused, intimidated and probably aroused because he is trying to play one-sided footsie with Fjor under the table. Our boy is getting his feel on, only he is probably accidentally playing footsie with Ran instead because Ran does not waste the youths in this show in any shape or form. #big yikes.

When they slap the meat on his plate Magne makes this rough sound I am fucking obsessed with. Almost a growl in a way? It was literally Thor coming through, I am dying. And I take no criticism for something that I might have just clit-dreamed up.

The Jutuls’ are haughtily delighted because with every inflection, every choice, they are that much closer to figuring out what Magne is before Magne even knows himself. We hate to see it.

The shots scene with Saxa is so understatedly hilarious. Because I am absolutely sure this is Magne’s first real introduction to alcohol. And he has been drinking all fucking night and probably being like- ‘I don’t feel bullshit’. And now suddenly he is doing shots with Saxa, because- who cares, I guess? I wonder how that even started. 

They do five shots and Magne, our precious bean, just blinks.

MY MAN.

Saxa awkwardly going: “oh, I felt that one.”

Magne’s face is like: “feel what?”

My dude is completely unfazed and we stan. 

Then they go for the nuclear option and break out the mead and let me tell you about the religious experience I had watching that entire scene. I love when you have a scene like this where everything is acted and shot so perfectly. You see Magne’s interest and the moment he tastes it, my dude chugs because part of him remembers this and you see the moment all the Jutuls’ are like- oh.

Meanwhile, Magne crushes his mead and is like- 

I have to imagine this is when the Jutuls were like…
