Påskveckan - Easter week 

Swedish kids are free from school the week of, or the week after easter. In earlier days, all the stores used to be closed on good Friday but now most of the stores are open as usual but are closed during the easter weekend. It’s most common to do the actual celebration on Easter Eve, we usually meet with the family and eat together. (As you may know, Sweden is a very irreligious country so it’s very uncommon to go to church during Easter)

Påskkärring - Easter witch

Swedish kids usually dress up as witches (påskkärringar) on Maundy Thursday or Easter Eve and go around to their neighbors giving them a small hand-made card or present to get some candy in return. This tradition has its roots in the witch huntings during the 1600′s when it was believed the witches travelled to Satan at Blockula to feast on Maundy Thursday. The modern tradition stems from the 1800′s. The children are often dressed up in a dress, an apron and a shawl and may also have a black stuffed toy cat, a broom and a coffee pot.

Godis och mat - Candy and food

Candy and food is a big part of the Swedish easter tradition. The kids (and sometimes the adults) usually get an easter egg filled with candy and maybe a small gift or money. Here the Swedish phenomenon of bulk confectionary comes in handy because the parents can pick and choose the quantity of candy they think their child should eat. It’s said to be the easter bunny who comes with the eggs. For the food there is often a big buffet or smorgasbord of things to choose from. Some classics are boiled eggs, fermented herring, salmon and boiled potatoes. (Very similar to the food we eat on every Swedish holiday) For drinks there are the alcoholic brännvin and snaps and for the kids there’s påskmust which is a carbonated drink kinda similar to coke (but also not at all, because it’s so much better. Also there’s julmust during Christmas which is exactly the same thing but with a different branding).

Dekorationer - Decorations

How much you decorate for easter varies from family to family but we decorate less than for Christmas. We usually have something similar to an easter tree which basically is a few branches of birch which gets decorated with colorful feathers and decorations in the shape of chickens, eggs and easter witches. The decorations are mostly yellow or pastel and it’s very usual for small children to make their own easter decorations in kindergarden or primary school to hang in the easter tree.

can you elaborate on the wander having ptsd thing? not disagreeing with you i'm just interested

wander's past is only handwaved to throughout the show, but we know from the episode "the wanders" that wander's desire to help people stems from some ambiguous childhood trauma that caused him to "know what it is to be helpless"

we didn't get to find out the specific details about wander's life before the show ended but there are a handful of things that seem to "trigger" him-- or set him off-- that specifically being when he isn't able to help someone, or when his plan to help someone gets disrupted in any way. he tends to panic or get very anxious on the drop of a dime, and semi-frequently will pluck his hair out or hyperventilate or when something suddenly goes wrong... ptsd and panic attacks often go hand in hand, after all

dr screwball jones seems to be an interesting case because he is one of the only villains that wander is genuinely afraid of, you can see him get nervous when screwball gets too close, and the entire episode revolves around this batman-esque persona wander throws on to defeat him... this is speculation on my part but i've always seen this as a sort of coping mechanism, considering its only triggered by the few episodes screwball shows up in

anyway-- sylvia tends to calm wander down when he's in this state, putting on a gentle voice and holding him and generally grounding him back in reality, its very sweet and also shows that sylvia is familiar with wander's attacks and knows how to deal with them

we know that wander was traumatized by being helpless, and we know that the thought of being helpless causes wander to freak out. even if the word "ptsd" is not directly said in the show.. wander is a canon ptsd king

Hey, big fan since early TTS scene. Absolutely lovin the World of Darkness stuff.

Questions to satiate my mind goblin however.

Will we get to see Elise more in the series? And will Changelings be referenced or spoken of due to her hoping to find a fairy?

The mind goblin SHALL be fed more Elise in Chapter 4 of HTP!

Here have funny storyboard panel pilfered from the project chat.

Elise is into faelogical research so, especially through her, I am sure the faefolk will become relevant at some point.

Could you do a headcanon about frieren spending time with a male S/O trying to figuer out what she's feeling for them and realise its love

Hii!! And sure, i'm not really good on writing headcannons or fanfics but I hope this is to your liking ^^ (also i never wrote fanfics or headcanons too so i hope this isnt TOO bad)

Okay so, in order to even get to know Frieren you had to be in the hero party, or someone she was just helping out for a grimoire, although for the sake of this you'll be in the hero party (the current one with frieren, stark and fern,)

Frieren is generally stoic and aloof so when she encountered you she obviously didn't think much of you. Just another human that'll eventually pass away.

But since during her time with Fern and Stark she grew to appreciate humans more, she'll be more considerate towards you.

In general, she didn't think much of her feelings towards you so it wasn't all that obvious to her that she even liked you in a romantic sense.

Idk what she'd generally do if she were to be in love with someone but guessing from the manga and the way she treated Himmel she's gonna mention you a lot, treasure everything you give her and remember everything you say.

That being said, it wouldn't be obvious to her that she likes you in a romantic sense but to everyone else it would be since she'll pretty much follow you around like a lost dog without it's owner and be awfully considerate towards you.

It'll take her a shit ton of time to realize that she likes you though, although when she realizes it Fern and Stark would help her with the entire courting process which means she'll give you a lot of gifts and such.

I think her confession would be pretty straightforward like she wouldn't beat around the bush but just straight up tell you she likes you since it is kind of in her nature to be really blunt.

(I'm sorry I ran out of ideas plus like i mentioned this is my first time writing headcanons but if you'd like you can request more stuff since i'd like to improve on my writing skills)

Ways to poetically say "forever" if you're an elf

"Until the stars go out": classic from Cuiviénen, never lost its charm.

"When Laurelin frosts": rapid decrease in popularity for obvious reasons.

"While Telperion has leaves": rapid decrease in popularity for obvious reasons.

"Unto world's end": used once and very rarely thereafter.

"When the sun freezes": nothing quite like a reprise. Rapid decrease in popularity for obvious reasons.

"Until day comes again": popular in Angband, with varying sincerity.

"While Gil-Estel shines": If a fuckhuge winged dragon couldn't stop it from shining, what could?

"Until the last ship sets sail into the West": 95%+ of uses were by the guy building the dang ship.

"When Fëanor apologizes": What exactly he is apologizing for is sometimes included, but largely deemed unnecessary.

"When the world is mended": steadily increasing in popularity and decreasing in sincerity.

Sometimes I think.

But then I don’t.
