If I were a god - the best meme ever!

"If I Were A God..." -challenge!

Rules are as follows:

1. Tag back to the person who tagged you.

2. Answer the questions.

3. Add a question if you come up with a good one.

4. Challenge five other bloggers.

Long story short, since that 11 questions challenge has done the rounds for years now and everyone and their gerbils have done it, HajaMiel at Written Before Dawn came up with a new one and it's made of beauty.

Here are the questions:

1. The global warming thingy will kill lots of stuff. You get to save one species and have to kill another. Which ones and why?

I save humans, for the selfish reason that once upon a time I was one myself and there's still plenty of great people back there humaning along following me. As for killing off a species... hrrnnnnn a tough one. I'd probably just blindly point at some random amoeba for fear of choosing wrong, and in the end I'd realize it was thanks to that specific type of amoeba alone that the Earth was still livable BUT NOW IT'S ALL RUINED BECAUSE OF GOD.

2. Ok, since you are playing god, make a prayer your worshipers would have to pray every evening.

"Good night, Kaino-god
Great are all your cakes,
Pastries, buns and pies,
Popsicles and bakes.

Now send me a puffin."

3. Nice and poetic that one. Now, any sacraments you would want to have?

I'm not gonna be a Christian type of a god so there'll be no sacraments per se, but I'll accept tea parties held in my name as a godly connection to me. May your cup ever be filled to the brim with the tastiest tea!

4. I like this theme. Three annual ceremonies that would be held to celebrate you?

Ooooh! I'm going to take over Bobmas, which will then be called Kainomas instead. The purpose of Kainomas is to eat, eat, eat and be generally nice to everyone around you. The next celebration I want is 1st of May/Vappu, during which I'd like some bonfires, sparkling drinks and lots of eating, renamed Kainoborg. Being generally nice to everyone is also a theme of Kainoborg. For the third I want a harvest festival, at whichever time people feel like they should have one. It will consist of eating lots of yummy foods and generally being nice to other people and will be called All Hail the Puffin.

5. Just in case you become a god, what sacrifices we mortals should offer for you for a good weather and such benefits?

I don't do weather. I'm strictly a god of food and the occasional puffin. I do appreciate good cakes, yummy foods of all types and many kinds of beverages. However, I'm also a god of vanity so anything sparkly, pretty and shiny will also be received with a promise of plentiful meals in return!

6. Since there are the five of you playing gods, check each others blogs and tell us what kind of gods you think the others would be like according to their blogs.

Namuless: clearly the god of fangirls everywhere. Serving her well will guarantee you a place in the front row, that special item that's only been made one batch for one VIP expo, and rest assured your favourite member will see just you among the crowd and propose to you immediately! But do not ever call the wrath of Namuless upon you or it'll rain on you while you queue and Kyo? will show his open disappointment at your conduct.

Tinde: the god of soap bubble guns. Her followers are known for their multicoloured hair with which they try to emulate the multitude of colours that she makes, of their habit of poking at seemingly nothing and of the faint smell of dish washing liquid wafting from their general direction. If you please her she will let it always rain soap bubbles all around you wherever you go! If you displease her there'll never be soap bubbles for you! Ever! EVER!!!

Praying for a soap bubble rain.

Pinkishpixiedust: the god of Disney tattoos and a bit of a trickster god type. Please her and your tattoo will be misspelled. Displease her and your tattooist will be so drunk you'll run for the woods instead of having that tat. Yet years after when you're stuck in a tiny rowing boat in the middle of Atlantic the misspelling of your tattoo will actually turn out to be a teleporting device and your faith in her is greatly repaid!

PS: only works if you're getting a Disney tattoo. Else it'll just be a misspelled tat.

Giko: I'm not entirely sure but I feel like this one's a god of entertainment. She's special in that her love and hate strike everyone the same - and usually simultaneously, when she decides it's time to kill off another dearly beloved character of SNK. Serving her doesn't hurt either, and her followers are known to both quickly rebound from heartbreak over an anime character and calm down from rage-quit mode a little bit faster than common people.

7. With which god of the other four would you most likely ally yourself with if needed?

I'm the god of food. I rule over everyone MUHAHAHAHAH- okay no actually Tinde, because eternal rain of soap bubbles is the highest dream anyone could have, and one which a god of food can never grant anyone.

8. Since there are five to choose from to worship, why would your supporters choose you?

Ma-ca-rons. Te-a. Coffeeeeee. Wine, in case it's to your tastes! Look at that cute puffin, oh no it's actually a cupcake in shape of a puffin! Cakesssss... ooooh do you smell that it's your favourite food, how'd you like a bathtub full of candy?

9. Tempting! What rules should the followers of your cult follow?

To be generally nice to other people. That's it, that's all, I'm the hardest god to please.

10. How would you end the World when the time comes? Your take on the apocalypse?

Nobody would even notice it. Everyone would just go on living as usual without knowing they died and went to the afterlife I offer.

As for the world, I'd just eat it.

Ending the world one waffle at a time.

11. Ok, the World is ending, what will you offer as the after life?

A world just like this one but with all the problems removed. Also that asshole would realize they'd been mean to you and would apologize.

I shall now tag the following: Caramea, Rinna, Mimmi, Asio Otus and Elfie!

The summer slipped away; welcome autumn.

I realized that I've got plenty of photos I haven't put here yet ranging from the end of summer to the beginning of autumn, so here we go. Starting with puffin elegance because yes I've made these puffin hairclips in all possible colours.

Hveragerði's ice cream day casual coord. Except that when we got there it was so windy that my hairstyle was immediately torn to pieces and it was pure luck I didn't lose the poor puffin. ;^;

We also had our first autumn storm which was a bit surprising because they usually hit us in October. I went to walk in it for fun because I have a weird idea of what constitutes as fun.

Hair art by the SO. Not sure whether to call it a heart or a certain part of male anatomy. :D

More food news from Reykjavík: there's a donut stall on the side of Ingólfstorg that sells mini donuts. Super yummy!

Best part of autumn: layers and layers of sweaters and scarves. 

I think the shoulder thingy (scarf? cape? shoulder-ette?) is crocheted by either my mother or my grandmother. It's cute and warm. :3

Naturally the drunk-knit bubble sweater has been dug out a long time ago, the first cold day in fact. I missed it! Btw new shoes - well, new from a flea market -new.

Hoping you too will have a warm autumn and chai tea, cinnamon coffee, hot toddies and mulled wine and oh, isn't it soon time to prepare for Kekri/Halloween...?

Another visitor for Fluffit!

Yesterday the Fluffit group had another one of those exciting meet-ups where we get to meet lolitas visiting Iceland. This time our visitor was Maja!

The meet-up place was Sandholt as usual because there really are not many cafes in all Iceland that can compete with it, and those that can are located elsewhere (f.ex. Fjöruhúsið at Snæfellsnes). It was a crazily busy day at Sandholt but otherwise great.

Detail shot because I'm so jelly of that hair... :3

Sorry about the general quality of photos, my camera is oooold and should probably retire soon... in any case here's the Sigga.

Her bf makes absolutely perfect bows so we had to document one. 

Miss F. being perfect as always.

There were more people at the meet-up but a few declined being in a photo, so it was actually a bit bigger group than this. :D

...annnnd me. A new dress that was originally a set of sheets. ) : D

Same with outwear included + a detail shot of my hairpin because puffins. 

Outfit rundown:

JSK + puffin clip: selfmade

Cardigan: Vero Moda

Hat: Fox Cherry

All else: vintage + offbrand.

Visiting museums in style!

Yesterday the local open air museum Árbæjarsafn had a market day with free entrance, so naturally we had to go investigate and dress up accordingly. I mean what else do you do.

A definite bonus of oncoming autumn is that I can begin to wear capelets and scarves and such. A negative is that this particular bonnet will have to retire for the winter but hey, late August/early September is the cheating zone in which you can still wear summer items but also include autumn ones!

And now for photos.

Detail shot.

Outfit rundown:

Dress: honestly no idea, no tag anywhere. Gunne Sax has been suggested.

Bonnet: Mrs Parker's Millinery & Mercantile

Capelet: Andersen & Lauth

Boots: Bodyline

All else: vintage/offbrand

Museum selfie! :D

I seriously hate going up and down stairs like these, narrow, steep and did I mention that with hems like these there's no way of seeing where you're putting your feet on. Could be another stair, could be The Void.

I'm quite sure this room was haunted. I walked in and the radio in the room immediately began to make demon noises at me, stopping only when I stepped away from it.

Here's something that apparently really is haunted! It's a sleeping shack for scouts and one of those beds belongs to a ghost called Hallbera. No one knows which one it is though, but if you sleep in the wrong one you'll find out. :D

I love old rooms...

...and bizarre wall tapestries.

No I have no idea why there's a 80's style sweater on the wall, blame the time travelers.

I admit the wig is also a mystery.

I used to have a bed like this. The taller I grew the more it had to be pulled out until that one fateful day when my friend sat on it and the whole thing came apart in the middle. :D

We also ended up in the evening news (holy bob I gotta learn to walk like a, a, woman - failing that human will do as well, actually anything but that cow jog).

Naturally I bought this guy. I've also eaten him already. :Þ

Text says "party lollipop for a party lion" and that's exactly what I am, I arrive to the party, eat everything and go right to sleep.

Guess who's back!

Or more like who are back - the puffin couple that last year successfully had a puffling that fledged. The cam can be found here: it's been put to a better place than the previous years and now includes sound so you may hear their neighbour puffins growl every now and then.

So far there's nothing especially exiting happening of course since the chick hasn't hatched yet. Furious sitting-on-egg is going on 24-7 though!
