I don't know why you guys are so up in arms over the Wendigo.

They're not bad guys, they don't just target innocent people. They've learned their best victims are horrible evil people whose lives they can end and also destroy in the process.

I mean, you guys can't kill a wendigo, it's not like they have anything to fear from being shot, stabbed, folded, spindled, burned or mutilated.

And those of us that do know how to actually kill a wendigo aren't going to help you out because the wendigo are not bad people.

If you see one once, it means your sins have been found out.

If you see a wendigo twice don't even try to run because it means you're going to pay for what youve done.

I've heard lately their favorite food has been police officers.

Call a Witcher. He says no.

Those two idjits?

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like what a wendigo would say.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 11 months ago

Interesting take, because I know several tribes have stories where wendigo just eat kids, and can't wait for seconds.

Is not eating your vegetables reason enough to be devoured alive?

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I don't know, put down the broccoli and let's find out

That's what you get for saying its name

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 points 11 months ago

I kinda wonder how myths along the lines of "say this supernatural creature's name and it'll get summoned to you" end up surviving through generations. Like, one would think it should be really easy to verify that.

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

In the age of smartphones with cameras the same could be said about supernatural sightings in general. I mean if there really were ghosts, werewolves, whatever someone would have them on "tape" sooner or later. But for whatever reason (cough) it's only ever hear-say and/or footage in the quality of 1990s security cams. Weird....

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe they can only be captured through analog processes.

You've got a better chance of actually catching a picture of a ghost on a Polaroid than on a cell phone.

And aside from that, digital cameras typically have like infrared filters over the lenses because otherwise they would pick up too much "noise", so suffice it to say that we are absolutely surrounded by ghosts.

Actual wendigo would be like, "How did you know my name was Bob?"

[-] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Fun fact: the Wendigo design we see here was made common by the short story "Wendigo", written by Algernon Blackwood.

The real wendigo,as seen by the culture that it comes from looked more like a lanky human

It was depicted like giant furry humanoid creature in Guardians of the Galaxy
