I’ve heard the Scissor Sisters song She’s My Man many many times but I always just assumed it was about a drag queen or dominant woman.
BUT then I found out it’s actually about a rich white guy leaving the high life behind so he can shovel coal for the folk hero Annie Christmas, a tall, supernaturally strong black woman who’s captain of her own boat and wears pearls from all the men who tried to challenge her. I was wondering why there was so much boat-talk in the song.
Also, for some reason a lot of descriptions of her mentions she’s strong enough to carry a lot of hay *shrug*
The lindorm is a creature from Nordic folklore, which has the stupidest name possible. Lind means snake and orm means snake, so it’s called snakesnake. Guess what it looks like.
They tended to curl around everything from treasures, towers or towns guarding whatever they considered valuable inside. If they were just a regular monster a knight or heroic man was needed to defeat it.
BUT sometimes it was a prince who had been cursed, and then a young woman willing to marry it was needed. On their wedding night when the lindorm asked her to remove her dress she’d ask it to shed it’s skin, and when the soft new skin was exposed she’d have to give it a good hard whipping, and when it was sobbing on the floor she’d bathe and cuddle it. This would lift the curse from the lindorm and it would turn into a beautiful prince.
