[ooc: warning for stick figure drawings of a dead/partially eaten goat and horses with too many legs??

Context: thread 01, thread 02, & thread 03]

How. Why. Someone please explain.

The goats of Norse gods are apparently milked for mead, not milk? Does this make them walking, fermenting kegs on legs?



Is this why a certain god will eat the goats that pull his chariot and then resurrect them?



Do the goats remember they were killed and eaten? For eternity? I mean this sounds kind of horrifying to me. The goats pull the chariot. They are killed. They're eaten. They are brought back from the dead and then pull the chariot more or get milked for mead until someone gets the munchies again?

But more than that, I just...okay. People/Gods have two legs. Horses have four.



Simple, right? So if people or gods have babies with other people and the babies have two legs, and the horses have colts and fillies with other horses and they have four legs, how is it that a god in horse form somehow mates with a stallion and then gives birth to an eight-legged horse? How?



Why are there so many legs??



Is this also why they have the goats pulling the chariots instead of horses? The goats provide meals on wheels whereas the horses are for weird spider-horse procreation?

[If goats are for food and horses are for banging what happens to the chickens??]

A valid question. I've never put it forth for discussion.

[spellslots]

If this isn't the perfect opportunity I don't know what is

[dothelokimotion]

I won't be adding my thoughts to it. For obvious reasons.

[spellslots]

I'm pretty sure you're the only expert here though

[dothelokimotion]

So?

[spellslots]

So I'm pretty sure you should have some input on the discussion

[dothelokimotion]

I made my stance clear on the stories. No input from the story-teller. I will not budge.

[spellslots]

I'm not talking about the stories, just like the entire concept of whether bestiality counts if there's shapeshifting involved or if there should be a distinction

[dothelokimotion]

I don't care.

That's my input.

[spellslots]

Well.

That's fair

[dothelokimotion]

It keeps things simple.

[spellslots]

Seems like you could use a little of that.

[Considering how weird all the stories are]

[dothelokimotion]

It is not what I'm known for, sadly.

[spellslots]

I'm pretty sure you love it.

[loki's a drama queen u heard it here first]

[dothelokimotion]

I can not admit that in public.

[spellslots]

;)

[He'll leave it at that bc no answer is just as good as an actual answer.]
