[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 try not to play favourites with my own stories. This particular one with Sleipnir garners the most fascinating reactions.

[ Poor Bryn. ]

Yeah, it's a good one.

We have the same ones where I'm from.

It is a common thread among most realities.

[ Yggdrasil must be the common link. It would be fascinating to look into, if Loki was curious. But he knows too much of the universe to dip his toes too deeply into the concepts of Loki and Thor. ]

But I am pleased to hear they exist without my continued presence.

[ He thinks of it too, in terms of a symbol for something that connects the worlds. ]

I'd be interested to hear more about it.

If you're willing.

I . . . suppose I have no objections to it.

Why? They are easily accessible and you seem well-versed in them.

[ He doesn't even have books about Krypton.

Clark is tired of archives and second-hand material.

And he can never resist wanting the truth. ]


Call me curious.

Very well.

[ Loki understands curiosity. And he's vain enough to like the attention. ]

Let me know of a time and I will be there.

Tea or coffee?

I don't have a particular preference towards either.
