[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??]

I would say that it's his opinion and therefore not invalid but in my world we're supposed to be far more polite to deities and try not to quibble with them.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh? I did not know that.

[inlaid]

Mm, there aren't many rules/social protocols in my world but there are a few. Though, granted, the reason for the encouraged politeness I think has more to do with not wanting to seem ungrateful in light of their roles in our community.

...which could mean they don't really apply in this situation.

Do you have a preference?

[dothelokimotion]

Not here. It might have been different on my own universe, but I'm not likely to care much for propriety in a place that invites many realities and differences.

[inlaid]

Well, then if propriety goes out the window that leaves us with friendship and me quibbling and arguing with you if I see fit.

:) :) :) :) :)

[Because that is the kind of friend she is. She makes no apologies for the visual puns that will find their way to your inbox.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . Huh. ]

Do as you see fit.

[inlaid]

I usually do.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki . . . still finds it weird, but a lot of people seem to roll with him and talk to him so . . . just relax ]

Fair enough.
