#Odin Rick

[christiecandor]

Odin Rick is definitely getting more dedications in the future (as well as the other looks in this episode 🤤)

Found on YouTube

U got fruity vibes

I am a god. We are above you mortals and your petty gender norms. My son wore a wedding dress to his own wedding. Gender is dead and I killed it.

[wanderingmind867]

I still always want to take concepts from the Kane Chronicles and apply them to comics. The Kane Chronicles had the whole thing of: Gods can't really affect things in the mortal realm without having a host body. So for example: Carter Kane ended up being the host for Horus. And i love that concept, and i keep seeing it in Thor. Thor and Don Blake feels like a Kane Chronicles host body style thing. For Thor to appear on midgard, he needs Don Blake to host his essence. This would also mean that Thor and Don Blake are different men with different personalities, which would be really cool.

And hell, i can still apply this concept to other characters in the thor comics. I'd have made Jane Foster the host body for Sif. I think that would have been fun, since we'd then be combining thor's love interests. We could even use this as an opportunity to imagine possible hosts for loki, odin, hercules or other gods. It'd add an extra layer to the already interesting realm of thor comics.

Hell, even outside the realm of thor comics i could make this work. Imagine an alternative universe where Captain Marvel/Shazam worked like this. Billy Batson is the host for whatever god Captain Marvel is. It'd be sort of extra derivative of percy jackson then (seeing as billy batson is roughly the age of an average rick riordan protagonist), but it'd be really cool to see someone take this route with captain marvel and the marvel family. there's potential in it.

RICK AND MORTY S7EP9

Any episode in a TV show that makes fun of religion is automatically lovely haha.

I like Valhalla as a whole though, I'm sure those guys will rebuild :P

Rick being able to accept his mistakes is quite awesome too btw, not seen often. Part of the lesson involved him having to let go of his obsession with the energy, and although it wasn't necessarily a monumental character moment, it was still nice.

I adored their insistence on walking through the main doors and screaming POOOOOOOOOPE!!!

Hilarious episode, more of Rick and Morty being silly little guys over gods please :)

💡 The most canon aspect that stood out to me, is that he has finally reactivated the Phoenix Protocol, last time he was stuck in alternate clones, and since then I genuinely wondered if he even cared to bring that back.

All Ricks have it, and for a moment there I wondered if he was the only one. But no, far from it by now, he has a whole set up.

I don't have an opinion, I like it if he has it or doesn't have it, but it did stand out to me.

Summer being statistically the third most likely to die is also absolutely true 😂

-

I'm really loving this season, and each character moment, I don't want to pin it on the fact Roiland isn't there anymore, given we were told he didn't do anything anymore, but like, damn, I can't help but wonder cause this shit good.

[bugwolfsstuff]

You ever think about how ToA kinda implies that fate can be changed which means literally everything that Odin did to try and prevent Ragnarok was for nothing except push his blood brother to *gestures to all of Loki* this and unintentionally made it so it WILL happen regardless because Loki, Fenris, Hel and probably Jormungand too have been pushed beyond repair and reason and demand revenge.

Or are you normal?

[Matt and Baldwin, sneaking into the Raider camp]

Matt: Hold on. It's too quiet.

Baldwin: You skipped "it's quiet".

Matt: I didn't skip anything. Obviously it's quiet if it's too quiet.

Baldwin: But you're supposed to say-

Matt: Well now it's not quiet enough!

“The mist is controlled by hecate—“

It was made and is controlled by manannán mac lir so jot that down

[icestorm1196]

So just had a fun crack theory.

Muriel is God. Hiding out, being a little sneaky, whatever, but God. Hence God Herself only shows up in a flashback in S 2.

I mean, Rick Riordan did it. Hiding Odin in plain sight for quite a while.

I don't remember what that cyclops' name was that Odin was pretending to be, but I do remember being surprised.

[aestophobia]

I will forever stand by the fact that Blitzen and Hearthstone are some of the most interesting characters that Rick Riordan has ever written.

Hearthstone is the first mortal in centuries to practice rune magic, a skill that only Odin possessed before Hearth came along. He faced what I fully believe to be the worst trauma in the riordanverse (people often forget that in addition to being shunned for his deafness, being blamed for his younger brothers death, and having to live with the Wergild, he also had to skin the monster which killed Andiron all by himself at eight years old and he wasn't allowed back inside the house until had finished skinning the entire thing) and despite that, he still managed to return to Alfheim not once but twice to face his father. (and it's implied that it also happened another time prior to the story because Alderman knows who Blitzen is in THoT)

Blitzen is a misfit among dwarves, being the only one of his kind who isn't a builder by nature, but that doesn't mean he doesn't create by nature. He cares so much for fashion that he makes it his own craft despite not being given the recognition for it. He makes his own degree, he turns fashion into something that even the other dwarves can appreciate, and he succeeds in opening his own shop. He shows that he is willing to do anything for his friends on multiple occasions, and he has so much love to give even after losing his father, the only person who ever understood him. Because of this, he is able to recognize being a demigod for what it is, something that many other demigods don't like admitting all the time.

Neither Blitzen nor Hearthstone fit in among their own kind, but together, they form a bond unlike anything else Rick has ever written. Most of the MCGA fandom can't look past them being "not canon," but that's wrong. They aren't "not canon." They're nuanced and complicated with a relationship that might surpass platonic, but maybe it doesn't. (For my good omens fans, I would say they're thoroughly ineffable) That doesn't matter because they love each other, which they state in the text multiple times. Just because it never explicitly says "Blitz and Hearth are in a relationship" doesn't mean that they aren't in love. Just look at the things they do for each other.

Hearthstone, who doesn't show much emotion and is usually very restrained, but whenever he's been separated from Blitz, immediately rushes to hug him. Blitz, who once yelled at Hearth's abusive father with so much unbridled fury that Magnus thought it was Odin himself.

Blitzen can't survive in light, and Heartstone needs light to survive, so Blitz brought sunlight to a world of eternal darkness for Hearth. They call each other "my dwarf" and "my elf." Blitz learned an entire language for Hearth, and he expresses jealousy whenever Inge is around. Hearth faces abuse to save Blitzen even after Blitz begs him not to.

You can't have one without the other. They need each other more than anything else in the nine worlds. They weren't written just for you to go, "Oh boring, they aren't canon because they never kissed"

Edith Finch Timeline

So I'm still organizing my theories (honestly they're more like a list of unanswered questions than a coherent theory right now) but I think my timeline is pretty much complete now that I've had a chance to go back through the pet cemetery and add all those in.

I do some wild speculating about Odin here that has no canon basis, just spinning ideas.

Things to notice- Just how many deaths happen on or very near birthdays. Not always the birthday of the person who dies and not every time, but suspiciously often.

The pets almost seem to fill in the years when no one human died? Like everything in this game it's nothing definitive enough to base a solid theory on, but it is odd.

TIMELINE

1439 - Earliest possible beginning of the Finch Family Curse based on the Odin viewmaster reel, as this is 500 years prior to the invention of the first viewmaster.

1445 - If the Odin viewmaster is the Model E made in 1955 (which I think it is), this is the start of the curse instead. Not much is happening in Norway during this period, but Vlad the Impaler was at the top of his game this year?

~About 7 generations of Finches dying horribly happens here.~

1880 - Odin is born. At some point between now and his death he writes "The Mysteries of Death and the Thereafter" and "Joining the Great Majority" which both appear to be books about the afterlife.

1896 - Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration begins with the Belgian Antarctic Expedition and won't end till after WWI. Expeditions are marked by depression, starvation, insanity and scurvy. Many famous expeditions are made by Norwegian teams. Odin is 16.

1911 - A Norwegian expedition is first to reach the South Pole. The British Scott expedition chasing the same goal are lost. Odin is 31.

28 July 1914 - WWI begins, Odin is 34. Norway, "The Neutral Ally", remains neutral on the war but due to economic pressure from Britain commits its merchant marine fleet (one of the largest in the world) to Britain's service. Half the fleet is sunk and 2000 seamen are killed. If Odin was a sailor, he likely served. Alternatively, he may have been one of the wealthy merchants who profited greatly during the war. He clearly has a great deal of money to burn by 1937.

June 17 1915 - Sven is born.

April 8, 1917 - Edie is born.

1935 - At some point between now and Dec 1937, Edie and Sven marry and Sven takes Edith's last name.

1936 - Ingeborg and her newborn Johann Finch die in an unknown manner. Odin is 56, Edie is 19, Sven is 17.

Jan 7 1937 - Odin sets sail for Washington.

Dec 1937 - Arrival on Orcas Island, death of Odin at 57. Molly is born, on the boat? In the Old House? Sven and Edie build the cemetery, and then the house.

1938 - Churpy the budgie joins the family.

1939 - Invention of the viewmaster, earliest point the Odin story could have been recorded.

Sep 1939 - Sep 1945 - WWII. Sven was 24, and may have served or been drafted.

1940 - Burpy the house finch joins the family.

1941 - Churpy dies.

Oct 31 1947 - Halloween Baby Barbara

Sometime between 1937 and 1947 - Molly's unnamed gerbil joins the family.

Dec 13 1947 - Molly dies of apparent poisoning after eating mistletoe berries, on or very near her 10th bday. She relates hallucinating having become several animals, most notably a cat. Christopher the fish dies shortly after. The fate of her unnamed gerbil is unrecorded, as none of the unattributed headstones are of the right age, but presumably it dies eventually.

1948 - Burpy dies at 8.

April 25 1950 - Sam and Calvin are born.

Aug 26 1952 - Walter is born.

1956 - Lucy the dog joins the family.

1959 - Bailey the (???) joins the family.

Oct 31 1960 - Barbara dies, allegedly murdered, on her 16th bday. Her boyfriend Rick disappears the same night. The version of her death shared in the game is notably extremely unreliable and raises numerous questions. Rick is seen in a leg cast using crutches. Walter is 8, Sam and Calvin are 10 and notably absent from reported events.

Sept 23 1961 - Calvin dies at 11 falling from a cliff. He is seen wearing a weathered and heavily autographed leg cast. His model shows him with a black eye and several cuts.

1962 - Zoe the (???) joins the family.

1963 - Lurpy dies at 11. (Cockatiels have a life expectancy of 20-25 years)

Aug 26 1964 - Sven dies on Walter's 12th bday, while making a dragon shaped slide. He's 49.

1985 - Daisy the (???) joins the family.

1986-87 Dawn goes to India, meets Sanjay.

1988 - Shadow the cat dies.

Dec 27 1988 - Lewis is born. Furpy joins the family. Tucker the (???) joins the family

1989 - Oliver the rabbit dies.

1991 - Rob dies at 10. Furpy dies.

May 19 1992 - Milton is born.

1993 - Charlie the cat joins the family. Daisy dies.

1994 - Durpy Jr the Dove joins the family.

1995 - Zurpy dies at 3. Schatzi the (???) joins the family.

Feb 14 1999 - Valentine's Baby Edith. Lowest tide in a thousand years allegedly allows Edie to access the Old House. At some point between now and Nov 2010, three unnamed gerbils join the family, and then die.

Feb 22 2002 - Sanjay dies in an earthquake, eight days after Edith's 3rd bday, Dawn and children return to Finch House. Dawn writes "To Teach and To Learn" at some point in the next few years. At some point between now and 2010, Dawn probably finds a stray cat and names it Molly.

Oct 23 2003 - Milton disappears.

Late 2003 to Early 2004 - Dawn searches for Milton, eventually gives up and seals the rooms for unknown reasons.

March 31 2005 - Walter leaves the bunker and dies, allegedly hit by a train. There are several strange inconsistencies surrounding the circumstances of his death.

2006 - Durpy Jr dies at 12.

2009 - Schatzi dies

Nov 21 2010 - Lewis dies of apparent suicide one month before his 22nd bday.

Nov 28 2010 - A week after Lewis's death, Dawn informs Edie they are leaving the house. After Edie attempts to give Edith a book containing a story about their family which Dawn violently rips away, Dawn flees the house with Edith immediately, leaving Edie and all her belongings behind.

(Molly the cat is not mentioned in regards to the move, so she may have died by this point, but she is not listed in the graveyard, so it's possible she was simply left behind. There is a taxidermy calico in Sam's room, but Sam was dead before Molly could reasonably have joined the family, so this is unlikely to be her. A cat is seen outside human Molly's room in 2016, which may prove she's still alive- but she'd be around 14 years old. An unlikely age for a cat abandoned outdoors for 7 years.)

Nov 29 2010 - Edie is found dead by nursing care workers, and may have killed herself by combining alcohol with her medication, intentionally or otherwise. She's 93, the only member of her family to live longer than her father, who died at 57.

Dec 5 2010 - The date on Edie's tombstone, a week after when she supposedly died.

May (around the 12-18th?) 2016 - Edith becomes pregnant.

Oct 12 2016 - Dawn dies of a chronic illness at 48. Edith is 16 and about 6 months pregnant.

Oct 13 - 19 2016 - Edith returns to the Finch House at 22 weeks pregnant.

Jan 18 2017 - Edith dies in childbirth a month before her 18th bday. Christopher is born (possibly named for Molly's goldfish?).

2027? - At some point in the future, a young Christopher returns to the house, which has changed since the last time it was seen. He is wearing a cast.

A note on unrecorded pets- There are additionally 5 (possibly 6?) unmarked pet graves in the cemetery. One of the blank stones presumably belongs to Rob the bearded dragon, who has a memorial in Edie's room but no gravestone. One is marked as a fish and another is a rabbit, with no names or dates. One is a knocked over and unreadable sign of the same kind used for the birds, indicating it may be an otherwise unrecorded bird. There is also a statue of a frog- the knocked over sign may instead refer to an unrecorded pet frog, or the frog statue might be a separate gravestone, or simply a decoration. This leaves one blank headstone with no indication of what might lie beneath it. Let's assume it's a mass grave for gerbils.

Have a transparent Odin Rick, my pretties ✌️

[thekeeperofbalance]

ft the fact that i plan on having a combination of rick's design of olympus & everything being in ny, but also keeping the mythology with its people (tho that's a bit nebulous, but whatever)-

aka camp half-blood stays in long island, yeah

camp jupiter? - still in california

but also: the world trade centre holds an entrance to olympus which is still on mt. olympus and the people do not need to leave their home continents to go to a safe place- olympus is still on olympus, the mountain, rome is still rome, etc- it's just the gods are no longer restricted, they are everywhere-

also kinda just like. rick did this for the egyptians and the norse??? why couldn't the greeks and the polytheistic romans (as compared to the christian/catholic romans) have multiple places of existence???

like. i'm also getting rid of the place-specific things, like álfheimr (alfheim) and niðavellir (nidavellir) not resembling boston and shit but also valhǫll (valhalla) and ásgarðr (asgard) being. like where they were modelled after in norse mythology-

also bye-bye bifrost bc that Did Not exist b4 like snorri sturluson-

actual norse mythology is super interesting, like immensely so-

rick did freyr & freyja so dirty- like, yeah, odin and thor were important, but. uhhhh ppl worshipped freyr & freyja as MUCH bc they were the FARMING gods and important

i feel like this post does a bit to establish my love for sociology, psychology, and anthropology- i love learning abt ppl it's amazing-

[loki-erlking]

Being asked to guest speak at a highschools mythology class

Rather excited for it

But debating whether to talk about Mythology or Folklore, or maybe break down the difrence between the two? Or should I stick with the various stories from Mythology and folk tales? Maybe break down where they come from and how they came about? Explain specific stories that where wold to explain various aspects of nature like why the sea is salty, or why the seasons change.

But then thete is which cultures mythos/folklore to pick from. Sure a lot of people know Greek mythology thanks to Rick Riordan, but they have a rather tame/skewed view of things. And with the Greek myths thete are all the well known stories, like Orpheus and Eurydice, Heracleas and the 12 labors, the Odyssey, Jason and the Golden Fleece, etc... but there are many others to be told.

Or should I go the Nordic route? Thanks to marvel the kids would definitely recognize the names like Thor, Odin and Loki, and it would be nice to correct their understanding of them (because Thor and Loki are not Brothers!)

Or maybe Egyption mythology? My wife tells me that they where going over those gods this week. And if any of them have watched Moonknight they may recognize some names outside of Horus, Ra, and Anubis

Granted this is an inner city school with a dense African American population. Maybe they would appreciate going over some African Deities/Spirits like the Orisha or Anansi (who is more of a west African God and I don't think he is a part of the Orisha pantheon) though idk how receptive the kids would be listening to a white guy trying to teach them about their ancestors gods...perhaps that would be in poor taste.

Granted I could just stick with folklore, explain the difrence between it and mythology and then go over various examples and such. I mean I'll only have 90 minutes or less since I'll only be there for the one class.

But what can I say, I'm excited, and i thi k this would be fun. Plus I used to dream of being a professor of folklore/Mythology and this is probably the closest I'll ever get to giving a lecture to a class about it

[bugwolfsstuff]

I said i was gonna rant and by the gods im gonna rant

[This is not gonna make sense and more me shrieking at the gods cus Loki is my blorbo and i hate that Rick fucked up and made him abusive when the first book was litterally implying that he cares about his kids and making him sympathetic.]

Love how i completely forgot Heimdall was there too between reading this in school and getting home lmao. My phone guy is just that forgettable.

ALSO THATS WHY YOUR DOING THIS? THATS THE REASON YOUR GOING WITH RICK?

They got roasted too hard so theyre gonna kill two innocent kids, mulitate their corpses and use those corpses to chain their father while dripping acid on him?

It was (slightly) more understandable when it was cus Baldur (even tho hes probably happier with Hel anyways) died.

Cus like an eye for an eye.... (even tho that was much more than an eye, more like two eyes, a heart and a leg.)

Actually no scratch that killing Baldur technically was an eye for an eye if you think about it.

(Odin took three of Loki's kids, Loki took his son, his daughter in law and then the same son again when he refused to cry to bring him back. Thats also three. Thats one of the reasons i excuse Baldur dying)

I know Magnus probably either didn't realise what was going on here or if he did it didnt register in his brain the whole story. Which, fair enough, directly after this he listens to Kvasir getting cut up by a chainsaw (good, its clear if it weren't for him Loki, Narvi, Vali and Sigyn would've been probably fine) and then watches Alex get thrown out by his.....sperm donor. So what happens to Loki is not at the top of his concerns rn but i really hope he confronts Frey about it later. Cus Magnus has been shown to emphasize with Loki on this. AND THOSE WERE FUCKING CHILDREN! AND THEY WERE KILLED BECAUSE THEY WERE LOKI'S CHILDREN!

WHO ELSE ARE CHILDREN OF LOKI THAT HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT?

SAMIRAH AND ALEX

Basically i want Magnus to yell at the gods the way Percy does. Because like Luke everything was probably WAS the gods fault.

And before you come at me with the whole 'prophecy has to happen' thing. Save your breath because most of you have no problem with blaming the gods when it came to luke in pjo and this is kinda similar.

Who was to say that Fenris, Hel and Jörmungandr would have caused ragnarok if the Aesir (mostly Odin) didnt take them from their home and seperate them?

Whos to say Loki would start Ragnarok if Odin didnt break their oath and take his children?

Or :

Let his mouth get sewn shut after he got everyone shit (Sif's new hair, Mjollnir, Draupnir, Gungnir, Skidbladnir and Gullinbursti) because suddenly oaths matter now, Odin.

Kill his innocent children (its not stated in myth or mcga how old Narvi and Vali were/are but the general consensus is that they were young), possibly made him watch said children get murdered (Sword of summer its stated by Loki that the gods watched in amusement as Vali disemboweled Narvi but that could be hyperbole) and had a snake drip acid onto his face.

If there was any good in Loki at any point (which there might be. He actually seems pretty chill in sword of summer) then its been snuffed out now.

Thanks Odin.

You signed your death warrant.

Whats that saying again?

He who tries to prevent fate is doomed to cause it?

Or something like that i cant remember the phrase.

I have more to say yet i cant quite articulate it. So im gonna end it here.

Also i am really in the mood for writing a oneshot of the day they caught Loki in Loki's—or maybe Sigyn's? Pov.

Ranking What Remains of Edith Finch Chracters (my opinion)

Walter!!! :3 (I cried...all three times I played his death. I feel so bad for him, my man has PTSD, my boy needs a hug, and some hot cocoa or something.)

Calvin :3 (My child, he is my child, my adopted child. Also cried watching his death. The devs did him so dirty with that achievement for playing his story again [Loop-de-loop-de-loop] like why 💀. For all of the people I see in those YouTube comments calling him an idiot, don't act like you weren't like him once during his age, I know because I have cameras waching you-😊📷)

Gus! (Underrated, I wish we knew more about him and had more character development for him ngl, some people straight up forget him, like noooooo)

Lewis (Fan fav, but also relatable, wish we could save him, but we can't :(...)

Barbara (Girlboss and very good sister)

Molly (Welp, she's literally me at 3 A.M--)

Edith (...Uhh...hi ur...uhmmmm...cool. I cried at her death...)

Gregory (Sad story, I cried. The thing is though is that since he was a baby, his personality wasn't fully developed, but he's still pookie, also my cousin has the same name as him :/)

Dawn (Might be the only good parent in this game-)

Sam (Hmmmmmmmmm....ur cool ig. If u wait long enough during the part of his story where he's looking at the map, he'll mention a camping trip he went on with Calvin and Sven which is lowkey so wholesome :3)

Milton (Yes, I put him low, I have nothing against him, but I just haven’t played the Unfinished Swan yet. I love his fanart, tho)

Sven (😴)

Odin (....hi?...)

Kay (Girlypop could've just taken her kid out of the bath, right?)

Rick (I have one word to describe you...dic-)

Edie (GET OUT!!!!! NO ONE LIKES YOU!!!! I ONLY DREW YOU CAUSE YOU HAD NO FANART OF YOUNG YOU!!!!!)

Anyway, that's my list everyone has their own opinion, and this is just mine :3.
