[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??]

look i've got no clue what's going on but
i hope you find the answers you're searching for

like, MAD disturbing
but cute

I don't think I'm going to get anything definitive in the end. Half the people responding seem to think it's all the absolute truth, while the other half are explaining that it's all just stories and symbolism.

And if my drawings are disturbing it's because clearly I am disturbed ;)
But thank you?
I'm beginning to think I should just nod and smile and roll with regardless of whether it's true or weird fiction.

[ He kind of can't believe he is somehow answering this seriously and getting involved in a conversation that involves horse fucking and magical goat resurrection, but... ]

i mean one answer is it's both
that's the whole point of multiverse theory. infinite possible worlds.

some people come from neighborhoods where all of that is literally true (yikes!)
some people come from neighborhoods where it is all symbolic of something (almost equally horrifying tbh)

...I should have considered that. The role of the multiverse would explain at least the conflict in the answers I'm getting...

Though of course not the content of these conversations.

[Thank you Cisco, you are a rock in this tumultuous sea of barnyard fornication.]

[franciscoramon]

no i'm pretty sure there's no accounting for that, in any universe, ever

[inlaid]

So it's not just me, right? This is pretty out there?

[franciscoramon]

oh it's not just you, everything about all of that is fully batshit
like one hundred miles per hour weirdness

Okay thank the deities. It was definitely shocking to me and then I made this post and once I started talking to people I had to wonder if I was overreacting somehow because obviously deities =/= humans so the standards are different of course but...still.

[franciscoramon]

naw
i mean, there's allowing room for cultural differences and then there's THIS

[inlaid]

Okay, thank you.

Generally speaking I try not to be insensitive and try to stay open-minded and I realize there are drastically different worlds but...yeah.
