[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??]

Hey, I got one quick question.

What the fuck?

[signifies]

Long story short? Humans.

[ He loves them, really. ]

[spellslots]

I mean Pan has like orgies apparently but this is some next level shit

[signifies]

You're welcome?

[spellslots]

I'm gonna have nightmares

[signifies]

Would it help if I said it was symbolic? :)

[ You'll be fine, Taako. ]

[spellslots]

It does not because I have met Loki and I'm like 99% sure his shit is true

[signifies]

I met a Thor here, so it probably is.

It's interesting to think about, isn't it? What the myths came up with, and what they're really like.

[ He feels sorry for Bryn, though. ]

[spellslots]

That's kinda how this started, Bryn knows Thor.

[In the biblical sense.]

I'd kinda rather know which shit is true and which isn't, you know?

[Loki is v confusing.]

[signifies]

This was thousands of years ago using the human calendar. The archaeological records aren't complete.

If they existed in those realities like they do here, it's highly possible they did everything it's said they did.

[ He's not helping.

This is a little funny. ]

[spellslots]

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

[he Knows clark]

[signifies]

I would never make fun of you.

[ So much payback. ]

[spellslots]

Maybe you should team up with Loki >:(

[signifies]

[ You're welcome, Taako. ]

I haven't even started on the other pantheons yet.

[spellslots]

I'm gonna have to go to the library and find like, the wildest shit from back home, aren't I?

[This is somehow a competition now.]

[signifies]

Pretty much.

I'll be waiting.
