NorsePlay.

While we've actually featured something about elf-appeal before, we came up with the term  álfarsexual , but if we didn't grab a cheesecake image of say a potential Dökkálfar from Svartálfaheimr  with at least a solid +16 Charisma as a visual example of this word's preference we'd be remiss. You're welcome.  [from Irina-Isupova's "sexy darkelfs series": Arrana from her DeviantArt .]  #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.

Alvilldr in fägra points out that we've made the founding fathers & our other celebrated U.S. historical figures American Alfar , and explores what that means in terms of Heathen Worldview. If we extrapolate on this, anyone who gains public reverence or hero worship past their lifetime becomes Alfar . Our question then becomes when does the threshold for Álfar-dom occur? Is that metaphysical promotion via a certain time that person is still being celebrated post-death, or their number of dedicants, or a specific combination of both? And given those requirements who then has cleared these hurdles? Elvis? Einstein? David Bowie? Louise Brooks? Shakespeare? Prince? We keep a picture of George Sand on our writing desk that we must now perhaps consider differently.

This modern Alfheim meme posits a world where nature itself's been bent into banisters, and lichen paints a well placed tone on the rocks. The incursion of Autumn leaves makes a nice contrast, but perhaps one can infer that not even the Alfar can keep the turn of seasons and inevitable doom at bay.

In one's quest for more social interaction across the Nine Worlds, it might seem that Icelander Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir has gotten in direct touch with the Alfar when one comes across her book Please YoursELF: Sex with the Icelandic Invisibles (2005). Complete with stick figure illustrated positioning and intercourse tips. This could take everyone's NorsePlay to a whole other level. And if you think about intimacies in the Norse Lore, we have Aesir partnering with Vanir, both partnering with Jötnar, Vanir partnering with Dwarves, Saxo & Snorri's accounts of a Scandinavian kingdom of Alfheim being ruled by human-elf mixed descendants of the Alfar, so why wouldn't we as Midgardians proactively explore options of desire & love on a supernatural/otherworldly level?

Day -1 : Deplaned! ... and it begins with me sprinting full out from one end of Phoenix's mile-long Sky Harbor Airport to the very last concourse, which of course looks very action film terrorist red flag-like. The plane (if you can call the wee Red Bull can with wings an actual plane) from Tucson was 45 minutes late getting in due to confidence inspiring "maintenance issues", which left me with less than 10 minutes to make my connection to Denver. "The door is closed." I can see the plane through the window, still connected to the jetway. "But the plane is  right there ." "The door is closed. You'll have to go talk to customer service," she states in flat disciplinarian tones with barely veiled punitive relish. By contrast the sweet great aunt US Airways desk agent's deeply apologetic about me losing a whole day in Iceland, and I simply can't get pissed at a nice old lady who's doing her best to get me out as early as ...
