[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??]

You know what in retrospect I should've been clear that only one specific goat gave mead but this was worth it.

You see, when a horse and a god love each other very much . . . .

Someone introduced you to Norse mythology, I see.

[ He's cracking up holy shit. ]

I don't have any real substantial answers, but spider-horse's name is Sleipnir, he is the Best Horse and steed of Odin.

Actually, there's a goddess whose chariot is pulled by cats, too.

[Sam Wilson, font of information on Norse mythology?]

And Odin rides the, uh, spider-horse. His adoptive grand...horse.

No, I think that would be bestiality.

It's a bit of a long story, and most of it is symbolic, not literal.

[ Taako conveniently didn't mention that. That's why Clark's here to ruin his fun with facts. ]

What do you need to know?

Does it really count as bestiality if you're both animals?

Are you admitting he's your favorite? Or just proud of any kids people bring up?
