Why did you never confirm or deny the claims in Lokeasanna? YOU COWARD.
Were are my confirmed kinky norse gods stories as told in your Edda?
Where Are They?
Ps. That thing about Loki and the horse was nice though.

loki voice:
i fuck one horse and no one forgets it!
but then later i gave birth to triplets after eating the heart of angerboda, and i feel am just not getting enough credits for that you know.
being a single parent of a giant wolf, a giant snake, and hel (oddly enough the third triplet is a human shaped godess) is hard work you know?
Loki needs more credit for his superb parenting skills
So much mischief while having all these kids, it’s not easy ya know!

tfw you are a photographer in 1952 taking cat photos, using the then pretty recentaly invented fast cameras that can actually catch a animal in movement. and this is the facial expression you catch.
from what i can understand, the photographer Stig Rehn still sold this photo commercially under the name “solkatt” (=sun cat, also the swedish name for sun beams which sunlight passes through a surface that create a light phenomena with small spots of rainbow lights spots inside).
the photo belongs to västergötalands musuem, who bought this photo from the photographer.

Agreed. Although I want my carriage to be dragged by gigantic house cats. Just like the godesss Freya!

Giantess Skadi going “oh no, THAT’S IT” when the asagods kills her father, so she just puts on her armor + fave bow, puts her feets into her skiis, travels to the realm of asgård, and knocks on the asagods village gate being like
“I AM READY STORM THESE GODS VILLAGE BY MYSELF IF I HAVE TO!! ”
- skadi, at some point, most likely
Illustrations of skadi at historiska website.
Note that it is theorised that skadi is a goddess who is either shared, or inspired by a saami goddess of the nordic iron age. This is why she is drawn here in clearly saami inspired clothing by the Swedish States Historical Musuem illustrater.
An reasoning behind this theory, is that the description of what skadi puts on, can be interpreted as a norse person describing feminine saami clothing. Furthermore, skiing while hunting with bows, is strongly suggested by the source material to be a bit if a saami specialty during the iron age.
But, this is just a archeological theory, to be clear, and should be read as a such, not a 100% sure fact.

Skadi – the giantess who married the sea god
Skadi is a goddess of the wilderness who hunts in the mountains on her skis. Her father is the giant Tjatse. Despite being a giantess, she became accepted by the gods of Asgard when she married the sea god Njord.
When Skadi wanted revenge
Skadi went to Asgård, the realm of the gods, to avenge her father Tjatse , the giant , who was killed by the asagods. She went in full battle dress – helmet, coat of mail and all the weapons of war.
The gods offered Skadi compensation instead of revenge – she was invited to choose a husband from among the gods, but only by looking at their feet. Skadi wanted to marry Balder and thought that the most attractive feet must be his. But she was wrong! The feet instead belonged to the sea god Njord.
Skadi’s own condition for not seeking revenge was that the gods should make her laugh. Loki tied one end of a rope around the beard of a nanny goat and the other around his testicles. Every time the goat jumped, Loki squealed and squealed before finally dropping into Skadi’s lap. This made her laugh!
Odin then threw Tjatse’s eyes into the sky, where they became stars, and that pleased Skadi.
The marriage between Skadi and Njord was not a success. Njord wanted to live by the sea, in his home of Noatun, where he could hear the cry of the seagulls. Skadi wanted to live in the mountains of her home Thrymheim, where she could hear the cry of the wolves. They agreed to spend nine nights in each place instead. However, this arrangement did not last, and they eventually lived their separate lives.
