[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??]

Oh, it was stunning.

[aeturnus]

Too bad there were no cameras back then.

[dothelokimotion]

Why would we possess something so archaic?

[aeturnus]

To keep a record? What, do you have magic cameras?

[dothelokimotion]

I have my illusions. And we have our ways of keeping records. Our words are not stagnant. Our history breathes into our pages.

Do you truly believe we settle for ink and paper only?

[aeturnus]

Not necessarily but this was still ages and ages ago. Far be it from me to assume tech level of a culture on a completely different scale than mine.

[dothelokimotion]

It is not technology the way you see it.

[aeturnus]

Sufficiently advanced technology is akin to magic. Right. But if it's not stagnate then it might have only recently been discovered? Either way. Your illusions. Think you could show me?

[dothelokimotion]

Have you not already seen them?

[aeturnus]

I meant specifically the dress, because yes I've seen yours in general. They're awesome.

You're a blessing upon this moon. Thank you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ you're lucky I even found it. ]

You're welcome.
