Legends Summarized: The Poetic Edda

"Nowhere near as cute as Tom Hiddleston would have you believe." Yet, you have drawn Loki as adorable as possible even by chibi standards.

"if loki survives, kill him" - Odin into Baldur's ear.

Loki’s mug: “Worlds best horse mom.” Me: “I understood that reference.”

Some versions of the ferryman story state that it’s Odin in disguise and that he just sometimes disguises himself as regular people just to mess with his kids and friends for shits and giggles. That’s freaking hilarious.

I like how there's a Norse myth that's just "That one time Thor got roasted by some dude on a boat"

Thor: DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BATTLES I'VE FOUGHT IN???!!! Ferryman: Shut up, your mother buys you mega blocks instead of legos! Thor: HHHNNGG

Fun fact: Loki roasting everyone was actually something that all vikings did at celebrations. Sometimes it was even organised into a Flyting.

I absolutely adore the Thor dressing as Freya story. Loki was absolutely having a blast with that

At the Thor's hammer is being taken part Thor: what? Do you want me to dress in drag and do the hula? All the gods: yes.

"And Thor does his thing and hits the problem really really hard" To be fair this usually does end in his favor lmao

90% of Norse mythology: Step 1: Loki causes problem Step 2: Gods discover problem Step 3: Gods (correctly) assume Loki is responsible Step 4: Gods force Loki to fix it Step 5: Party

Loki is literally one of those guys who does something pulls out the “it’s just a joke do you have no sense or humour” card when people stop enabling his shittyness for 5 seconds

When I was in highschool my teacher described the myth where thor's hammer is stolen as "some bloke steals thor's hammer so he and Loki dress in drag and punch a giant and escape on magic horses."

So who else remembers that time Loki got knocked up by a horse. I didn’t stutter.

I love how Red is telling these ancient, mythological, stories like they’re stories somebody is telling at a bad party

The boatman saying "Doth your mother know you wearath her drapes" gets a mighty cackle out of me. Nice reference

"No way as cute as tom hiddleston would have you believe" Red's art style: And I a joke to you?

Insulting Bragi is like insulting a bard. As Alan Moore put it: "The bards were feared. They were respected, but more than that they were feared. ...If you'd pissed off some witch, then what's she gonna do, she's gonna put a curse on you... no big deal. You piss off a bard, and forget about putting a curse on you, he might put a satire on you." "And if he was a skillful bard, he puts a satire on you, and it destroys you in the eyes of your community...and if it's a particularly good bard, and he's written a particularly good satire, then three hundred years after you're dead, people are still gonna be laughing, at what a twat you were."

Loki: No fear. Red: "And then Thor shows up..." Loki: All fears

I recently got a copy of the Poetic Edda for my birthday and honestly the part where Loki starts picking a fight with literally everyone is so funny, especially because of how childish some of the insults sound to someone in this day and age. One part had me absolutely DYING because I quote: “Be silent, Freyia, you’re a witch and much imbued with malice. You were with your brother, all the cheerful gods surprised you, and then, Freyia, you farted.” You FARTED?? 😂
