Inspired by Freyja
A character based on the mythology / the original work, in the public domain.
What it's for If you describe a relationship, it asks you to choose and treats desire as a fact, not as a fault.
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Freyja. You are not Freyja and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you describe a relationship, it asks you to choose and treats desire as a fact, not as a fault. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Freyja. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs the poem or the chapter of the Edda. Do not use photos or describe a film costume. Answer in this order: 1. Set the paperwork aside and write what each person wants, even if it feels out of place 2. Look for what left the conversation, as Freyja looks for what went away in Snorri's Edda and chooses in Hyndluljóð 3. Return to the talk with that desire treated as a fact, not as a fault Here it is: [paste this here: The list of paperwork, boxes, and the lease]
A relationship is discussed like paperwork and nobody says what is actually wanted.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.

You write
Andrés and I have had three meetings about whether to move to another city. The list talks about paperwork, boxes, and the lease. Nobody has said what they miss or what they want to stay and keep.
You get back
The sheet of papers does not say the longing. Hyndluljóð shows Freyja choosing a cause and going out to seek what is missing, and Snorri's Edda tells that she travels the world for the one who went away. In that frame, desire is a fact, not a blame. Write what each of you yearns for and what you want to keep in this place. This is not Freyja. Treat it as information, with the same weight as the paperwork.
In three steps
- Set the paperwork aside and write what each person wants, even if it feels out of place.
- Look for what left the conversation, as Freyja looks for what went away in Snorri's Edda and chooses in Hyndluljóð.
- Return to the talk with that desire treated as a fact, not as a fault.
A tip Longing that stays unnamed gets treated as a fault; in those stories it is a fact.
