God damn it.
My hungry ass could never be a folklorist
I, personally can feel movement and actions. If I want to picture an apple, I rotate a little 3D model of it around and poke my imaginary little fingers all over it. I can ‘see’ the apple by doing this.
Unfortunately, my apples come in the shade of blendr gray, and when I imagine a color, the color is on the top layer, meaning I can imagine red, and also an apple, but never a red apple.
Apple.

My local Drug Store seems to be Having A Time finding nice stuff for the kids section.
Best 7 dollars spent of my life.
My gut reaction to this image was “what are those horses doing ON THE MOON” and I think that says a lot about my ability to comprehend images

dragonborn with teeth a little bit too sharp, even for an argonian or a khajit. dragonborn with eyes that seem to glow like embers. dragonborn whose voice echoes in your head strangely, like it's backed by the voices of each dragon soul they've consumed. dragonborn whose Voice causes earthquakes. dragonborn who moves a little too fast, is a little too strong, who loves fire a little too much even as a child. dragonborn who, if you look for more than a few seconds, is just as much dragon as human or Mer. dragonborn who loves puzzles and shiny things and has a temper to rival the Daedra. dragonborn who is just a little bit... off, like a fae.

(about this guy)
a kiln god is a small clay sculptural creature that stays on/in/near a kiln while it’s firing, to watch over the pottery inside and protect it
mine are all vaguely humanoid and holding pottery, but they can be anything
a lot of people leave their kiln gods unglazed, and only ever make one or two. because I work with a shared kiln, my kiln gods have to be inside the kiln so they don’t get bumped or broken, so it makes more sense to glaze them and keep making more
(^this one I kept, she lives on my pottery desk)
people have lots of little traditions around kilns and pottery. there are so many variables to successfully finishing a piece of pottery, and many of the steps are out of our control. it’s nice to have a kiln god watching over our work
if you take a pottery class, your teacher might mention the kiln gods. for some potters/studios they’re more of a concept than anything physical
what can I say, humans just love to make little guys
