#Norse mythology valentines

[loptrcoptr]

Ten years ago, a little baby loptrcoptr (then under the username daysoffuturepasta), freshly in love with Norse mythology, decided to make a few Norse-myth-meme valentines. I did seven rounds of these things (technically 6 and 1/2) for a total of seven years and I had a lot of fun. Even made some for my grad department to put around the place, and once shoved them into friends’ pockets on a night out to see how long it took them to find each one.

Now, in honor of the tenth anniversary of these trashy little things, have one more!

(Also totally message me to tell me which ones were your faves!)

Fenrisúlfr

From the wiki: "In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf. Fenrir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, and is a son of Loki."

"Upon the coming of Ragnarök, along with his sons devouring the moon and the sun, Fenrir is said to destroy the planet, his lower jaw reaching the earth, his upper jaw reaching the skies. It is foretold to kill the god Odin during Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr."

"The name 'Fenrir' refers to the giant wolf 'Fenrisúlfr' in Norse mythology, who is bound by silk chains and is destined to devour Odin at Ragnarok. Fenrir is considered by many to be a hellhound due to his link to the guardian of Hel, Garmr. This leads to an interesting set of coincidences, as it means Cloud, represented by Fenrir, hails from Nibelheim, named for the land of the dead, where Odin is found in Final Fantasy VII."

"Cloud being represented by the hellhound who devours a god may be a deliberate distinction with Sephiroth, who wishes to achieve godhood, but is repeatedly defeated by Cloud. In another interesting coincidence, Cerberus, a hellhound of Greek mythology, shares its name with Vincent Valentine's gun."

Valentine's day

To anyone who feels alone this valentine's day because they do not have a valentine -

It's a useless holiday. St. Valentine never actually married people and he wasn't some great hero of love. He wasn't really real and was given a pagan holiday.

Frey/Freya's day is the original "valentine's" day for all intents and purposes. Frey and Frigga both were deities of love and joy. When Christianity came around, they turned the holiday into a celebration of their religion and made it off of the critical ideals of these Norse deities.

If Norse religion isn't your cup of tea, here's a more historical take on why you shouldn't be sad. There is evidence to suggest that st. valentine was really many men who wanted to write lovely poems that rhymed. (Think of the multiple "authors" of the Odyssey, while we credit Homer)

Happy Valentine's Day! Have another relationship meme thing.

I miss Aud and Ingolf! They're probably the only healthy adult couple in the comic when I think about it lol. Too bad we'll never see them again. :D

These two characters are from my webcomic about Vikings and Norse mythology, Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Bonus:

I'm so sorry Ingolf.

Which of the Character Archetypes is your OC?

I was tagged by @theelderhazelnut and @cloudofbutterflies92

The Hero

You think you're strong. Well, you have to be strong. You're some flavor of goodness, you're a defender and an avenger and an attacker all at once. The world isn't a kind place and some part of you cries at that. The others don't. You're tested, every day, every week, and you keep picking the morally right choices, yet it feels like you never get rewarded for that. People think you're flawless, but you don't think you are. You have too many regrets, and you always think you could've done more. You are in the company of Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, and many more heroes.

The Villain

You should be happy you're getting this. Instead, you just nod and stare at your device blankly before clicking off to another quiz. The person who said all villains are created by villains was correct. You were innocent once. The world spit in your face, then was offended when you spit right back. Your only (initial) crime was having an objective in conflict to the hero's. Welcome, you are in the presence of Valentine from The Mortal Instruments, Professor Moriarty from the “Sherlock Holmes” stories, and Shere Khan from The Jungle Book

The Trickster

No legends will be written about you, but you deserve a place in them anyway. Although most think of the hero, villain, or mentor archetypes, you may be even more iconic or liked. Before storytellers were repeating tales of Beowulf and King Arthur, they were gathering around the fire listening to stories about Coyote, Raven, and the spider god Anansi. You don't classify as necessarily good nor evil, you follow your own agenda and do whatever you need to accomplish that free of black/white morals. You probably stan antiheroes and antivillains. You are in the company of Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Loki from Norse mythology

My love language is so gift giving. I am impatiently waiting for three different friends to receive their gifts in the mail.

Friend A- Birthday gift, Barbie Paper Dolls from the 80s and a pillow case made with this fabric.

Friend B- also a birthday gift. They've just started getting into cooking so I found four cooks for easy, one pot, quick or cheap meals. And two deals of seasoning from Trader Joe's- Sriracha and 21 Seasoning

Friend C- a platonic Valentine's Day gift for one of my longest friendships. She loves musicals. She loves Greek/Norse/Roman mythology. So I am sending her the PJO musical.

Look I'm infamous for accidentally telling the person what their gift is when it is handed to them and Tumblr is the only place I know none of them will see.
