I'm new here.

Bet you weren't expecting me to say that.


I'm not diagnosed with anything, autism spectrum or otherwise. I don't think anyone thought anything was.. different about me when I was growing up (despite my lack of friends, general social awkwardness and geekiness, tendencies towards isolation, above-average performance in school when I was younger)

I do recognize a lot of myself in (some of) what I've read about Asperger's/Autism and from what I'm reading on this forum.

... Anyway just.. wanted to announce my presence, I hope you don't mind me hanging around while I try to figure things out.

:lol:
Nice to see ppl taking their work seriously.
Other Gods just sit around, waiting to be worshipped or whatever. Takes real dedication to make that extra effort.

And those damn lazy ass gods make me transcribe all their scrolls AND I have to inspire EVERY inventor - even those dudes who made the metal spork. THEN I have to make all the thinkers - I'll admit Ayn Rand came out broken but Sagan was a soaring sucess.

That must be difficult to cope with, being the deity in charge of two opposing .. forces?

Not really, They're balanced against each other, but intertwined. I'm the god of firearms, by the way, I'm subordinate to big bird up there.

The closet thing the Norse have to a god of learning and knowledge is Bragi - lord of poets.

The Greek god of knowledge is Athena with some help from Hades

White magic is for healing and Black magic is for attacking.
