Dude. Thanks for the shout out actually. That's a cool video. I've never even heard of The Faroe Islands, but now I'm glad I did. It's beautiful as fuck. I'm bookmarking this place on the wishlist of places to live. Dala and I have joked about owning a goat farm, even though we'd have no idea what we're doing. That place would be perfect for that. Edit: Now I've found myself down the all too familiar rabbit hole that is Wikipedia. I'm reading about folklorists and criticisms of The Aarne-Thompson classification systems.
Right?! Remote and picturesque, not the worst combination. ...trying to read that wiki page and have no idea what I'm reading. Clearly not up to date on folklore.
Yeah. I'm just curious as to how they're gonna do in the near and distant future. I hate to be bleak, but I hear islands and coastal cities all over the world are slowly sinking due to rising sea levels. Hopefully they'll do alright, cause they obviously have a very rich culture that they're very proud of. As for Aarne-Thompson? Think of it like TV Tropes but for folk stories. The biggest criticism it seems to have is that their classifications often seem arbitrary and inconsistent. Maybe it's because I'm not a folklorist myself, but I think in the end it doesn't matter too much.
