Round 1
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met nearly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

I dunno this one keeps looking super warped for whatever reason. :\ I think it might be the angle I drew it at.
anyway, young Frigga and Odin, after Bor’s death.
HOW?
Apparently someone left a lighter in their pocket and all of That is from the gas released when the lighter ruptured
So there’s slightly more to it than that, that dryer is a natural gas dryer rather than a purely electric one. So when the lighter went off (the initial small explosion) it damaged the sealed drum enough to get to the gas lines in the heating element of the dryer which then allowed the natural gas and oxygen to mix, hit the fire from the lighter, and result in the second MUCH LARGER blast.
This is one of the many reasons why you always check your pockets, and also why I’ve never owned a natural gas dryer, even though they’re way more energy efficient than an electric one.
Also the choice of music is… Something
