Armo is from Finland, where it gets quite cold in the winter, so he has lots of things to keep his head warm.
Also, because of Armo I’m becoming fascinated with Finland’s history again. I haven’t been this into it since I was on my huge LOTR kick years ago and was learning about it because Tolkien drew a lot of inspiration from its culture and history for his Elvish cultures and languages (especially Quenya).

I’ve been working on a series for Aerys in which I get in shape for a 5K using the nerdiest methods possible. Right now, I’m going to take a poll on which characters you’d use as workout motivation. They can be characters you’d like to look like/feel like, characters you’re attracted to, etc.
And…go! Who’s your choice?
I wish all celebrities did interviews like this where they got to see the crazy things their fangirls/fanboys said on forums.
