[@LemonadeStand618]

I like how in Norse mythology, despite being the god of trickery or whatever, Loki never does anything directly malicious (most of the time)he just messes everything up.

[@amphibifish]

yeah honestly the only thing i remember he did with true intent to harm was the myth with baldur and also lokasenna

[@ilikedinosaurs392]

Fr he literally sacrificed himself to give the other gods sick stuff

[@christopherstein2024]

@@ilikedinosaurs392 He also tricked a blind dude into killing the most beloved being ever and his children are the literal end of the world.

Apparently, now a days, Loki is the God of Hard truths. So I’ll bet he still gets a lot of “shut the fck up Loki” as some people really just don’t want to hear it.

So most of these Norse stories starts with Loki causing some sort of mischief, and end with mass slaughter courtesy of Thor

[@LuckyHicks2]

It’s about the journey, I suppose.

[@EvilAutisms]

There’s a little more then that, it usually goes like this; either Loki pulls some shit or the Aesir make a deal that they can’t/don’t want to fulfil, they get Loki to deal with it, Thor ends up killing at least on 1 person

Why the MCU has not used "loki*ing around" to get around the f-bomb baffles me.

[@jf2801]

Thor: god of strength and possibly the reason for lightning and thunder Odin: Chief Aesir and god of wisdom and one of the gods presiding over war Idun: goddess of youth and keeper of enchanted golden apple orchard and steward of the Aesir's quasi-immortality "So, what's the deal with Heimdall? Does he just guard Asgard for Ragnarok? God of good eyesight?" Heimdall: he fucks.

[@AquaFan1998]

Oh dont forget that thor is also the god of oak trees

[@MetalFucker246]

In marvel Heimdall is Thor's little Uber

[@Bestienjager2490]

He just sits on his ass until ragnarok

[@onerandombruh]

I mean... Greeks had Zeus, so it's pretty normal for Norse gods to have a horny mofo there.

[@onerandombruh]

Because every single mythology books need a horny god.

[@SacredWhisperPrayers]

You hooked me with the “most explanations aren’t metal enough.” Well done

[@learningwithlaila]

Funniest thing about this is how Loki is ok with mating with a horse but draws the line at an incell

[@pokehunterhd]

Who said loke was a consenting party?

[@masterofdoots5965]

​@pokehunterhd Yeah, good point, Loki was just trying to distract the horse, not have sex with it

Loki likes to feel pretty sometimes, get off their back(/j).

[@TheHeathenCoalition]

a Ragnarok story sounds good, aye!

[@Dexuz]

How is it to believe in those gods and stories? I'd really like to know.

[@sosa_prodigy_not]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Dexuz in short, to me personally the gods represent different aspects of nature and the understanding of my existence. It helps me feel connected to nature and my ancestors through the gods. You have different deities for different tasks such as invoking Odin on giving you wisdom to help you finish a test or Thor to protect you and help you finish the race. In ancient times the stories would have been not only a form of entertainment but also their way of understanding the environment they were inhabiting with some life lessons sprinkled in. As for Ragnarök, it is a representation that the world will definitely come to an end but through its death will come a rebirth of a new world.

[@legojarjarbinks2564]

​@@sosa_prodigy_notthen what's the point of even associating with the Norse mythos since you basically believe in the abstract ideas that are somewhat represented by these obviously flawed and human figures? All myths were created as a way to explain the world around them with their limited knowledge, so anything related to them is simply outdated by our standards. Trying to make it less ridiculous by saying you worship their "aspects" and connect with your ancestors doesn't make the fact that Norse mythology is ridiculous and shouldn't be a basis for any actual beliefs. You don't see me praying to the ideas that Zeus represented just so I could get a blessing from the ultimate fertility God, that's what viagra is for.

[@sosa_prodigy_not]

@@legojarjarbinks2564 I’ve been taught by the Marines of the importance of spiritual wellness is to the health of oneself. This can come in many forms such as religion and I have chosen to follow the Norse pantheon. What’s great about Pagen religions is that they are not organised and are always changing so nothing is really “outdated by our standards”. A lot of myths still have important lessons in their core like always being a good host to your guests. Following the Norse pantheon is more of a personal journey for me and even though I may find a lot of things in Christianity and Islam ridiculous, who am I to point the finger at them and tell them you praying to this one god “shouldn’t be basis for any actual beliefs”. I’m also pretty sure you would invoke Aphrodite in Hellenism for sex depending on your goal not Zeus. But hey, who knows in the context 🤷‍♂️

@@pirategekblackbeak6341 I don’t feel like it’s “corrupting” mythology if some NB/GNC/agender/etc people see connections to our own experiences or ideals in the themes and events of ancient fables. Obviously the people who crafted these stories did not have the same understanding of gender and sexuality diversity that we do today, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find similarities. After all, it’s just as unlikely that the ancient Norse held the exact same idea of binary gender identity/expression that most cishet people adhere to nowadays. Nobody is erasing ancient Norse culture by referring to Loki by they/them pronouns.
