and "it is a bastard son of loki" damn!
*fangirling much*
i wonder why swedish forests are the setting for so many stories of ancent pagan rituals and shit
because they were never cleansed
unlike all of Europe's other forests
i guess they're the most uninhabited areas in europe
no inquisition
no anything
that's kind'a kewl
quite literally, if there are ancient creatures, they are there
i imagine creatures like the Creature in Ritual that actually hold out the rivers of civilization by enslaving people like that
if the concepts of the Warp from 40k are true, then there is nothing stopping them from existing
what movie's this?
The Ritual
go watch it
It's a horror-thriller with a few comedy aspects at the beginning
When they use expressions like "bastard son of loki" i start thinking about all the hypothetical stories that were never written down
like folktales?
passed from mouth to mouth
yes, or for example stories of this creature
which might be where his name comes
and if there's one thing i miss in norse mythology, it's messed up, mixed and mutated monsters
there's basically just big wolf, big snake, eight legged horse. Nothing about "a bear with horns like a musk and fin like a shark
or anything else weird
well, that's not entirely through
wasn't Yggdrasil told to be the home to countless creatures
yes, but not many of the described are strange
espc with the 9 worlds and all
there's like, frost giants, fire jotne, dwarves, elves etc
but no chimera, no gorgon, no manticora
i kind'a want to write "new" mythical stories
nothing stops you there I guess
and elves
just like the screen writers with the Ritual
you could work it in
and 2000 years from now, people will read about "loki's bastard son" in Ritual, stories by me, and other people. and the future people will think the Bastard was a monster from genuine norse mythology
