    Once me and my friend decided to go on a trip to Sweden. While we were there my friend picked a mushroom, he kept on doing it until the gnomes got really pissed off and sent him to that realm. When he came back he would not stop rambling on and on about how bad the realm is and how happy he is that he got free; now I’m considering not being friends with them because they’ve been doing really weird things.

    Something similar to this happened to me once, but it was goblins not gnomes. I was panning for gold at my a river I found and a bunch of goblins came and kidnapped me so they could force me to pan gold for them. After 8 years I did finally manage to climb up the goblin corporate ladder enough to get out of the system, but it was still pretty annoying. Never visiting the Rockies again.

    If you don't wanna heed the gnomes orders of quitting eating mushrooms, and then having to sit through the tirades of giants again, my best advice to give is probably to cut off chunks of it rather than just pulling them out of the ground. From my personal experience, the gnomes won't pester you, though the trees will start to get a bit mad and speak bad italian (for some reason).

    As someone from Asturias (a region in the north of Spain) I can somewhat relate to this, although I must say that one usually gets sent back within a few years or so, or less if you actively pursue it.
    The other day I was picking wood and forgot to pray to Aramo, god of crossings, and inevitably got lost, and got to a hawthorn forest where I say a busgosu, and he lectured me for using straws instead of drinking with my hands, and then sent me to meet a bisarma, whom ultimately decided to send me all the way to the remote parts of the forest, where witches roam and time flows differently; I ended up hanging out with a light-hearted xana for a few years, until, after saving her from some gĂŒestias that had come for her in her while she was sick, I had to be sent back, a nuberu took responsibility for it (he had sorta caused the sickness in the first place with all that rain).
    I would recommend always carrying a holly or ash stick around for protection from spirits, although this may not work for all kinds of spirits.

    You should make a series actually teaching the fundamentals of getting started with art but within all the tutorials is a surreal back story like this. Like you can actually learn from the tutorials but while learning about color theory you're begrudgingly teaching it while ranting about how some underground organization wants us to think primary colors are special but they're actually not that great. Or learning about perspective, but the perspective rather than being a classic city block it's the view from the bottom of the pit you're being held in while making the tutorials, or the view of the outside of your separated wife's house. I'd live to learn some basics of art while getting a healthy dose of surrealism!

    Oh, yeah. This basically happened to me in Finland. But here eating mushrooms from anywhere is totally fine, you just gotta know where to do things - for example, don't eat chanterelles in the sauna, the sauna gnomes don't vibe with it. They view it as disrespectful of the holy sauna. To pay back the disrespect with booze money, they will force you to work in the Finnish underworld at your current job. To explain, the underworld is basically just the real world except that there's no consequences for your work and you don't ever notice somethings wrong, just living an imitation of your life. I was lucky that my guardian animal was a bird that could fly me back to the land of the living. I think my body would have been gone if I remained knocked out like that for a few more minutes, the sauna can be brutal sometimes. But I wasn't called the chosen one, lucky you!
