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

like, loki isn't the god of anything, he's mostly used to tie up loose ends

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

Pedostein Case gets weirder and weirder

huh, who knows

maybe people 2000 years from now on will think memes were a myth too

>implying they are not

"the creature had the body of a great deer, but where it's head was positioned on the neck, there was the body of a man."

"The arms were bent backwards over the back, and stretched around as mandibles, the head had been ripped out and there were yellow eyes glowing inside. at the top were the feet, which had grown like branches, forming a pair of great antlers on top of it"
