On one hand, my neighbor's dogs are very cute.
On the other, the fact that the Doberman scaled a 6ft wall just to see Odin so they could bark at each other face to face was a little unnerving.

DCRC Week #16
Tumblr media
Wiggity what's up my fellow book clubbers, today we're taking a look at the ethics of treating artificially made intelligent lifeforms as second class citizens and what the qualifying factors are to determine a being as truly "sentient" and deserving of basic social rights. And by that I mean we're reading PKNA #12: Second Draft which is a comic where nothing bad happens!
This post is LOOONG btw.
okay we're just gonna start off our comic as normal and-
Tumblr media
WOAH who's this handsome young devil in his little fancy suit??? What's that? Head of Ducklair Industries?..... yeah sure that makes sense I think.
Tumblr media
Everett Ducklair 🤢🤢🤢 get a job stay away from him. Also this is a really nice way of saying you had to stop him from being overtaken by insane homicidal tendencies and putting guns in all his inventions btw
Tumblr media
Haha woah what was that. Did the fabric of reality just tear for a second there or did my ADHD meds just kick in. Probably just me.
Tumblr media
MASTER Donald???..... I don't even think I can write out the jokes I wanna make here they're too inappropriate for this blog sorry. But also what the fuck.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uno stop mothering maybe I WANT to get frostbite and lose all my fingers
Tumblr media
Not to take a sudden side tangent here but is this supposed to be like, a good thing? Don't the other seasons exist for a reason? I always thought fall and winter were meant to be like a cleansing period, they bring balance to the two other hotter seasons. If it's eternally spring, do some plants just never die? Are animals ALWAYS in the breeding season? Today we're going to overanalyze this one concept in an essay where-
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD IT'S ODIN wait nevermind hiii Odin hiiiii. what's lookin good cookin. I mean- shit. fuck. shit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm kind of obsessed with the way Odin is drawn in this comic. His whole body is all wiggly like a bendy straw. His stances go crazy.
Tumblr media
gayass
Tumblr media
Guys ever since I made that post about Odin's outfits and noticed that he's barefoot here it's been haunting me. Like it might just be a coloring error in this panel but also... why'd he take his shoes off. Also sorry for immediately revealing that it's Odin but um uhh I totally don't know who the OTHER cloaked figure is.
Tumblr media
girlll you're giving away the game SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Tumblr media
TWO Lylas?!?!?!
Tumblr media
I'm loving Donald's shock lmao bro is fucking flabberghasted
Tumblr media
This picture is so fucking silly bro. Nooo you can't put Odin in jail, he has such a nice suit on :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Donald getting offended on Uno's behalf, not knowing that Uno is literally sitting right behind him. SURELY he'll figure it out eventually right.
Tumblr media
Omg guys it's Geena!!! Remember Geena? From Portrait of the Young Hero? Anyways she has a gun now
Tumblr media
Way to go Donald, you showed her basic empathy for like 2 panels and it gave her an actual sense of self value and NOW she thinks she deserves rights 🙄 she's gonna Detroit Become Human up in this bitch
Tumblr media
beaming you with my evil lasers. what if he just fucking fried her brains here I think it would've been funny
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh that's. probably bad.
Tumblr media
ohhhh noooo.....
Tumblr media
OOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok so bad news, Geena fucking exploded and her droid rebellion is presumably over. The GOOD news though is that droids are destined to get their rights anyways, just in a less violent manor than in the timeline Geena had started. So... I guess that's a win?
Tumblr media
Disappears in a cloud of beautiful sunset smoke... Goodbye Odin 👋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Donald. Please. DONALD.
Okay so there's a LOT to say about this comic (so much that I kept hitting the image limit and having to make edits to my post to make it more concise) but if I could summarize it into one word: damn. Like I'm just kinda sad now.
The whole concept of "do robots deserve to be treated like human beings" is a common argument to explore, we've seen it in all kinds of media before. The ethics that get touched on in this comic are nothing new, but I can't help but find this comic incredibly interesting to read in the year 2024. Maybe in 1997 the idea of robots integrating into our society seemed like a far-off concept, but in present day the ever-growing integration of AI technology really makes this chapter feel a little more close to home.
I mean, it's easy to be like "yeah, well of course the droids deserve to be treated like people." I mean, Lyla and Odin are droids, and we like Lyla and Odin! Odin is literally so lifelike that people don't even KNOW he's a droid. But I can't help but think about how this all ties back to the current ongoing debates surrounding the usage of AI, and specifically AI-made content. Obviously the AI we currently have is nowhere near the level of the characters in this series (chatGPT fucking WISHES it was Uno) but there's really interesting debates to be made here.
What qualifying factors determine whether or not a living being is deserving of the same rights we humans give to ourselves? Is it being biological? I mean, there are literally millions of types of animals on our planet, but we don't even treat them with the same level of respect we give to ourselves. So, is it intelligence? If we were to create a computer with the intelligence level of a living, breathing human person, would they be entitled to basic "human" rights? HELL IF I KNOW.
I love the way this comic handles exploring this topic. Geena isn't WRONG for wanting more, she's wrong in the way she went about it. Going as far as to literally alter the course of spacetime only further complicated things, for her AND for the other droids. Had Geena instead devoted her energy into droid advocacy in the modern day, things may have gone differently. This story isn't the end of droids getting rights, but it is unfortunately the end of Geena.
We ended on a happy note, but overall this story is a pretty melancholic one. Especially that whole "only machines can be rebuilt" like DAMN.
Anyways that's enough media analysis for today, time to take off my smart thinking hat and go back to being generally kinda stupid. I'm not gonna add anything about Angus Tales here at the end because I already hit the image limit lol. Umm shoutout to Angus Fangus for having like 110 parking tickets. Idiot.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yaldabaoth couldn't help but make his whole team overpowered huh ... how are the phantom thieves supposed to survive ?? "oh noo akechi ur so hot haha .. please don't kill me" brilliant strategy pego (entire ask under cut)
[ACTUALLY UR PUTFITS WERE SO ON POINT. I HAVE 2 OUTFIT IDEAS 4 HIFUMI & SHIHO (MINUS MASKS) & 1 mask idea for yuuki but idk what else. i was thinking for the leaders it would def be chaotic but goro has most metaverse experience so hes the leader. ken kinda acts like mona in giving useful tips abt personas etc and hifumi takes on the role of makoto where she gives out different strategies (her, ken, & goro debate over these tips & strategies but usually end up doing them anyway). I have an urge to show u these outfits omg. i can ramble abt these outfits & their personas for forever .. i chose jormungandr for yuuki, skadi for shiho hela for hifumi, and persephone for eiko. ik its not very in the literacy scene for them to all have deities as personas but... goro breaks it with loki anyway, so ..
explainations:: hela & jormungandr are 2/6 of loki's kids in norse mythology, aiding him in the ragnarok/end of the world, and hela is sentenced down to the underworld to be the goddess of that realm since she was born half alive half dead, and she's sentenced to it by odin (basically. kinda the zeus of norse mythology, like the "king" of all of them) because she's the daughter of loki & all this other stuff .. chose her for hifumi because hifumi's mom basically forces her to be a shoji star after hifumi's dad and yeah. jormungandr i chose because hes kinda just a sleepy little guy: in norse mythology he's known as "the World Serpent" and he wraps around the entire ocean with his tail in his mouth kind of in a constant sleep until the ragnarok (all of loki's kids --aside from 2, one being dead & the other being a gift to odin-- including loki himself, are kinda trapped somewhere before the ragnarok happens) and he's not talked about a lot but he aids in so much and he's important (like how yuuki is kind of ignored by the pts, the dialogue options being horrid, despite him aiding in them. also yuuki is the bm's navi in the au & he runs a "revenge site" like how Strega/takaya sakaki, jin shirato, & chidori yoshino do in p3-- strega also does death calling cards , mainly shown in the novels which is p cool.. first ppl to use mental shutdowns despite not beinf called that then either. i love strega sorry. they all agreed to it because shiho wanted to deal with more people like kamoshida, goro wanted to deal with more people like shido, hifumi wanted to deal w more people like her mom, etc).. i chose persephone for eiko because in greek mythology, persephone is (most commonly accepted form of the myth) kidnapped by hades and forced into marriage with him by eating a pomegranate out of the underworld .. point blank, persephone reminds me of eiko being trapped and persephone's shown to overcome it , ( honestly eventually making the underworld & hades her Bitch. she kills the goddess/nymph of mints and creates the mint plant because she got too handsy with hades).. also hifumi and eiko are a little gay for eachother so why not have their personas be, too? anyway. SHIHO!! i chose skadi for her because skadi , in norse mythology , is both jotunn (giant) and a god like how loki is, but she's an accepted form of it because she was given over to the gods as a peace treaty, and thats pretty important to norse mythology i'd say (like how rooftop scene is important to kamoshida arc), and skadi claws up the aesir (council of gods) thru both her marriage (ann? ann. hehe.) and her own sheer will (shiho's recovery and goro's ..... questionable aid.) and skadi just fits. the goddess of mountains and winter? sign me the FUCK UP.
Anyway . this was long I apologise]

I promised myself to wait a little more before reading but I couldn't focus when I just knew this was big.
So yeah, I end reading porn while my lecture... no regrets.
Me, reading chapter 31: Percy, your daddy issues are SHOWING my girl.
Can't blame you tho, your dad's hot. He's not a DILF, he's THE DILF, He deserves every capital letter.
Love that crazy blonde, have a special place in my heart.
Grover just got himself a VIP ticket to HELL, my boy, you just got yourself a target in your back and, all satyrs in both worlds are going to suffer for that decision even with Percy's help.
Poseidon promised to do nothing, but the rest of the family didn't
Love it, cause at least they know SOMETHING is happening now, kinda of. Well, now they KNOW she's alive and that's something...
Could be worse, wondering if Grover noticed her dress and what he's going to see about it. She has become a wife/prisoner? she did run away? Percy is using really expensive jewellery like mere rocks and can say something (a god? a god from a different pantheon?)
Anyways, she's now one bad fall from diving into the incest sin and I'm pushing her, after the first wet bed... well, we know they aren't known for their patience.
I'm rotting for Sun Wukong, just imagine what that tail can do 😏😏😏 (for once, I'm not being horny, but imagine him using that tail to push her close and hugging her. I'm a bitch for cuddles, make me blush like no porn has done before).
(Odin, the other way, is a DILF I totally respect ❤️👄❤️)
Chapter 32
Well, I did see this scenery come... but Zeus accusing Hera of being unfaithful? wishing it to be real, maybe with Ganymede, just to add more burn.
Totally deserves it, but you know, isn't happening.
(Sometimes, for a little bit, I feel sad for her. Her husband is The Bitch, has an almost impossible mission and no one is helping her... well, then I remember how she treated her husband's lover, literally kids, how she's just searching for Percy cause she needs her and then I'm fine, totally deserved)
(Now I'm rooting for the RoR gods, not because they're better, just cause at least they're honest about their feelings about humanity and, don't treat their children like guns with discount in Walmart)
Poseidon taking advantages from all his chances to discover new kinks with Percy (*screams, giggles, hides her face*). You're spoiling us, brat taming is my favorite kind of dom/sub smut, so this was gooooooooood for me
Poseidon just making her cry and then making her kiss him? Percy, you're living a wattpad history and is niceeeeee
Percy/Poseidon and Percy/Beelzebub fans, we're winning tonight!!!!
Beelzebub: A life with Percy or no life at all Me: Whatever you say king, I love your crazyness, don't change
He really is ready to save her, no matter if it means she's leaving him... a maturing king, love it.
Okay, we know he'd never send her to another's man arms (Sorry, I always forget his name), but he's TRYING and that's all I ask from him. He's closer than the others...
(Feeling like that TikTok "what if he's the devil? at least the devil has a job")
(What if he's throwing away her chances to go back home, at least he takes her to Midgard dates 🙄🙄🙄🙄)
Yes, I looking throught the BIGGEST red glass, not seeing red flags, just hearts around Beelcy.
Me:
Tumblr media
Poseidon for the horny side and Beelcebub for the romantic side ❤️❤️
You know what would be amazing? Nico having to see all of this.
Imagine, the drama.
We know you love the drama queen, don't try to fool me, I know you survive from our tears and horny desires.
(Queen... just wondering... is this a harem history (Percy ends with all the yanderes) or just one of them? cause for now in my mind they have a horary where they share Percy like a divorce child)
Amazing like always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YOU READ INCEST PORN AND CANNIBALISM DURING YOUR CLASS LECTURE??? 💀💀💀 i could never, i don't have the guts even when my phone has the privacy screen protector thing 😂
also, "all satyrs in both worlds are going to suffer for that decision even with Percy's help." yeah the satyrs in ror verse are still in deep shit even tho percy tried to help them, cuz even though it was only the GREEK council who saw it, this whole thing made BIG NEWS
can you imagine shiva, parvati, kali, and durga's reaction to hearing that percy was "violated" by an unknown satyr IN HER DREAMS?
or loki's reaction? or literally any god that knows about her and likes her???? or just gods in general (especially the protector of children gods) 💀💀💀 like, satyrs already have a terrible reputation, but to target a "one year old" daughter of poseidon IN HER DREAMS (which is unheard of for satyrs to be capable of, which makes it even more terrifying)???? they're FUCKED 💀💀💀
pan and dionysus are gonna have to put them into hiding or something lmao
there's more posy coming in in the futre, and as for beelzebub, he's just digging a deeper and deeper grave for himself lmao. he is singlehandedly ruining his own ship 😭😭😭 but at least he still has beelcy shippers on his side 💀

ok no. everyone sit down be quiet i gotta talk about heimdall
i know we all shit on him (deserved, he’s a bitch), but i also think some people tend to miss the whole point of his character. heimdall, same as his brothers, is there to show the full extent of odin’s abuse and manipulation - like, i imagine týr became as timid and quiet as he did because of the way he was raised in asgard, thor obviously developed a drinking problem and passed the abuse on to magni and modi and possibly even thrúd, and baldur essentially became a living weapon (even though what freya did also played a part in that, but you can tell from the way odin talks about his death at the start of the second game just how he felt about him, he was just a tool to him)
it’s the same with heimdall. odin saw heimdall’s abilities as just an extension of the power he could hold over the nine realms and he used him as a tool. heimdall, though, adapted into that position his father wanted from him so desperately if only to survive, or keep himself sane. you can’t really blame him for acting so superior when he was raised to believe he was a right hand to the all father, of all people. where as the others show a response to trauma that manifests in a continued cycle of abuse and through coping mechanisms of all sorts, for heimdall it shows through simply shaping himself into exactly what he’s perceived as. he’s just another end of the spectrum of different responses to years of severe abuse
idk guys i just think heimdall is a neat character,,, he’s a cunt but we love him anyway

So I tentatively have Annabeth's great-grandmother/Bruce's grandmother being a Norse demigod daughter of Vidar, God of Vengeance/Silence/Strength.
I did it mostly because I wanted to keep her connections to the Norse. I made Magnus her second cousin (the son of Bruce's cousin), but I still wanted more of a family tie, which I lost when removing Frederick Chase from the equation.
So we get Vidar.
I haven't read the Magnus Chase series yet, so I'm ad-libbing whatever the Norse inheritance rules would be, but until I can do the reading, I figure by the time we get to Bruce, there's not a ton of "active" connection to divinity.
He's got passive connection to the Norse Pantheon through his mother, but he's still not remotely clear-sighted, and it doesn't have any practical effect or additional abilities for him. At best you could argue a proclivity for Vidar's domains (and to be fair...look at Kate and Jacob Kane) but we know (because we have read canon) Bruce would just be Like That anyway.
Annabeth on the other hand... Well, her mother is a Goddess. So she still doesn't have much connection left to the Norse, beyond a friendship and loyalty to Magnus. But what is there is more accessible/active because she has ichor in her veins.
HOWEVER. What I just realized:
Vidar is the son of Odin. Norse god of ... A LOT of things, but the domains that are relevant are War and Wisdom.
So in Annabeth's case we go from Great-Great-Great Grandfather Odin, God of War and Wisdom...
... to her mother, Athena, goddess of War and Wisdom.
I don't imagine it would really have much if any actual effect if the Norse inheritance works anything like the Greek. (Annabeth doesn't have any inherited influence from Zeus, for instance, and he's her direct grandfather.)
BUT. It is very funny to me to imagine Odin bitching about Athena "poaching" both his domain and his grandchildren.

They are living rent free on my mind so let me talk about these two's similar themes and how that fuck me over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Left: Varre from Elden ring
Right: Heimdall from God of War: Ragnarok
SPOILERS AHEAD.
For people who played these two amazing games, its apparent that both character is not well liked, for very good and funny ass reasons.
Their first introduction would make you squeal. The very first moment you met them, they radiate smug asshole energy.
Varre: *Explicityly says how you would die for nothing so easily in the land between. And you being bitchless.*
Heimdall: *Threatening our boy Atreus on a literal edge, wanting to drop him*
Funny ass men have funny as memes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The last meme is from: 326-3rr0r.tumblr.com)
They look like rats, pathetic rat men. God they are ugly but why are they pretty at the same time? One look dead tired and the other has gold teeth... HOW DID I FIND THESE TWO ATTRACTIVE???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Getting out the shits and giggles
Both are tragic loyal to a fault characters serving a god that wont bat an eye if they were gone. Varré and Heimdall both wanted love and recognition but they let their action speak than their words.
They both got their traumatic experience. Varré being the only one who survived and himself after Mogh kidnapped war surgeons, forcing them to serve him. Heimdall is with a manipulative father that wont fucking hesitate to kill him if he proved useless.
By personality we see, yeah they are a big dick head but there is some good to them. As much as a cultist Varré was, trying to manipulate you into their cult. He trusted you, and he would give the very best from the Moghwyn dynasty.
Heimdall with his insight, is blind from Odins atrocious acts. He at the end of the day, would protect Asgard his home and his family (that is mostly Odin). Can you really fault him tormenting Atreus when he forsaw the childs want of Ragnarok. An event that destroys his home.
Of course there are actions they've done that are unforgivable. We wont shy away from it. You can't be a baby girl without commiting murder once or twice... or thousands.
With their attitude and upbringing, no wonder they are alone. Its basically canon how lonely these bitches are. No friends nor lover (only in fanfic we trust.).
In the end they both died by the hands of the protagonist. Being loyal 'til the end but their gods didn't have much attachment anyways. Their efforts washed away like a snap. Died like a useless pawn, unloved, a discarded tool.
I love how they have so much to give with their limited story/screentime. I must applaud the writers making such interesting, brainrotting characters. They've capture the hearts of many and maybe ruining some. (a.k.a me, they are ruining me and i have a test and all i could think of is them with my o.c. lol.)
******Reasons why they are popular amoung fans ;)*****
Again... Pathetic men, baby girl. Complaining a fucking lot and talks about their superiority.
Their eyes, god! the lore/importance of their eyes.
The trait loyalty and their sadistic tendencies.
Enemies to lovers potential \(♡○♡)/.
Original characters and Readers p.o.v. galore!
If only there was someone who challenged their ideals and change their outlook of the gods they are saving. Plus someone they kiss too.
Heck just ship them with another character to make them worse >◇<)_
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Bonus: I love how Varré tells sweet lies to get you to his cult. While Heimdall is an absolute soul crusher with his truths.
These two got released last year with two execptional and astounding games. 2022 is the year of gamer and rat men.

sleipnirs survival verse isnt so much them surviving bc they just end up dying eventually but after the battle with barnabas theyre still alive and begging clive to just. end them. bc they dont WANT to live without barnabas but
clive just takes pity on them and takes them to the hideaway, much to their irritation, and both of them soon find that they have the same bond that sleipnir did with barnabas since clive now has odin (though to a much lesser degree)
sleipnir...then..pretends that theyre turning a new leaf bc theyre still in contact w/ ultima who comes to them as barnabas in their dreams bc ultima is a BITCH. anyways. sleipnir may or may not start catching feelings for clive depending, but does actually start to enjoy their time in the hideaway. however, they ultimately cant just. resist ultima sooo
they end up disappearing before clive goes to origin. everyone thinks they just ended up running off but no. nasty surprise when clive gets there is that he now has to fight sleipnir before going into that final chamber. which is now more difficult than it was bc of that ✨️special bond✨️ but hes got no choice and wins once again and sleipnir finally gets to die the end

Thor: The Dark World
Hello I have now seen THOR (COLON) THE DARK WORLD. This film was not as bad as I was expecting it to be, though it also wasn't great so maybe I had just set my bar too low based on how nobody seems to like it that much. I watched this with a visiting friend who had not seen Thor 1 or The Avengers so I did her a Dramatic Presentation beforehand where I explained what had happened in those, except I couldn't really remember what happened in The Avengers so that recap was mostly "then something exploded, I think." So anyway she was a useful non-MCU-person barometer for this one.
Christopher Eccleston is in this yet also he is not, in that we kept forgetting his character existed. He didn't seem to be enjoying himself much either. Which reminds me, this film seemed a bit desaturated in an off-putting way, it was like if you were watching Thor 1 while feeling depressed and the depression had manifested visually instead of just as a metaphor. Because it was a Dark World.
The ending was very confusing, people were jumping in and out of invisible portals (maybe?) and the magic hammer was flying around for a bit like when a plane circles the airport while waiting for a spot to open to use the runway. Stuff was lining up in space except not because we'd have noticed by now if the realms of the gods were that close and it would indeed have a gravitationl effect though not the weirdo ones in this film.
The pacing in this film was pretty poor generally though we felt it did perk up a bit towards the end.
Friend's favourite characters were Erik Selvig and Loki, in that order because Erik is a bit mad in this film (I belatedly explained the mind stone stuff from Avengers 1, having forgotten about that until Erik was in his pants) and goes to Stonehenge (which may be magic or alien or who the fuck knows) to run about naked (and not even at a solstice!!) and then he was in one of those Creepy American Movie Psychiatric Hospitals (or possibly it was a police station in London???) with medication in plastic pill bottles like they don't really do in this country and as mentioned he was in his pants for no real reason and that's all very relatable. So hooray for Erik!
More tumblr-esque-ly, friend was like "i can see why people liked this Loki, he's popped in from a better film of his own to bitch about this one" and indeed things do get more interesting when we finally let him out of jail where he is sat being a goth because Angsty because Frigga got fridged. (It feels like there should be a great Frigga/fridged pun but neither of us could think of anything, which was very saddening. Though we did realise that Anthony Hopkins = Welsh Odin = Woden, which is the best we could do for a pun and fuck it it'll do after struggling for at least an entire minute with the fridged-Frigga thing.)
Natalie Portman was in this film.
They were in London for some reason, cannot remember why. Elves, probably. Oh wait was it so they were in the right country to have the Stonehenge bit? Stonehenge is pre-Celtic which means it's also pre-Norse but it was somehow relevant to the elves stuff, as was Snowdon, which isn't that just a mountain? But it was somehow put there by people in The Olden Days or... okay I admit we were lost by that point, but there are stone circles all over Britain, they were very fashionable for a while but nobody really knows why but if you start drawing lines between old rock things here you're bound to come up with proof that a layline runs though the Prime Minister's bathroom or some nonsense like that. I suppose Stonehenge is our Giza Pyramids in that films make up complete shite about it all the time, and so inspired by that popular tumblr post I have just checked where the nearest Pizza Hut is to Stonehenge and it's at "Solstice Park" about 3 kilometres away just off the A303, hope this information is helpful to someone.
Erm. Yeah it turns out I can remember less about this movie than I thought, so this review is lacking and no doubt as disappointing as the fact that you can't see Stonehenge from Pizza Hut :(

Finished God of War Ragnarök last night and.... Man, I’m gonna be crying near non-stop for the next few days because
That goodbye between Kratos and Atreus was so sweet but so sad, look at my little boy, last game he was just a baby with a big heart and always doing his best and now he’s all grown up, he’s a great warrior, a wise and kind young man, going on his way to find his own path and I’m so proud of him but also so heartbroken because we don’t know when we’ll see him again and I miss him already.
And Kratos grew up alongside him, he was such a cold, angry and repressed man and now he’s a loving father, a caring friend and more willing to open his heart and it’s because of Faye and Atreus and the way he’s fighting back the tears as he fully embraces his son one last time destroyed me, he was not ready to let him go, maybe he would never be ready but he understood that is the path all parents must walk and this is what Atreus needed to do and let him go anyway, I love the way the camera pan over Kratos’ shoulder because as he and Atreus exchange one last look, it feels like the viewer is saying goodbye along with him, aaaaaaaa Atreus is going to come back one day as a savior, the champion of the Jötnar, his people restored but to Kratos and us he will still be simply our Atreus, our baby boy. Then Kratos finds the other panel and discovers his story and how people will remember him and love him as a god of peace and a symbol of hope instead of as a monster and how that hits him so hard he almost breaks down, I CANNOT SEE KRATOS ON THE VERGE I IMMEDIATELY TURN INTO A SOBBING BITCH.
AND BROK’S FUNERAL. BROK’S FUCKING FUNERAL. A riddle about holes fucking broke me, I can’t believe this. And Freya finally getting her vengeance over Odin, as a survivor of an abusive, manipulative relationship I felt so vindicated through her, she saved the day and I’m so glad she got to be present at the final battle. Freyr’s sacrifice was heroic and I’m so sad we didn’t get to spend more time with him. The fact that Týr wasn’t there to lead them to Ragnarök in person, but did it anyway through his temple, THE SCORE WHEN EVERYONE ASSEMBLES THERE AND KRATOS BLOWS THE GJALLAHORN AND ALL THE REALM PORTALS OPEN UP, the whole battle at Asgard....
In short, this has to win Game of the Year. I don’t care how good Elden Ring was. This has to be it.

Ásatrú, Gender, Polyamory, and more.
A friend in Port Callahan asked about these things, prompted by the following image, and well. I suppose I can catalogue my journey with heathenry up to this point here, you know?
Tumblr media
So, as you probably know, I am a practicing - and learning - Ásatraur. What is an Ásatraur, though? Well, colloquially we're known as Norse Pagans. We worship the Gods known as Odin, Thor, Tyr, Freyja, lots of Gods. Like there are a lot. Also, Loki! Loki gets a bad rep, but he's... Kinda' just a force of change? Like you can't really say "Odin bad Loki good" it does not work that way, that's a Christian-influence simplification. Loki does make for a great antagonist in narratives based on the Eddas though, haha. Anyway, let's get back to it. We mostly just vibe! We don't really actively recruit, we just let people pick up the phone, so to speak. That's what I did. I felt a pull to the Norse Gods as early as 11 years old. That was a... Jam packed time in my life, let me tell you. The first real piece of it was this funny little emblem from Halo 2.
Tumblr media
"Valkyrie" This has been my go-to emblem for a looooong long time. The emblem isn't significant in its own way to my religion I don't think, but it stuck with me. What was another piece? Well, any number of things - growing up a curious young boy, curious about the world. The idea of pagans was interesting - and even as a young non-denominational christian, I didn't want to discount folks' religions. I didn't see any reason they couldn't coexist. My dad called me a Pagan for believing that, but, well he would be right eventually.
Tumblr media
This is Van. Vanessa Thrace. She was my first attempt at a Truesona, back when I was dating a friend - wanted someone that was closer to me. Both of those things changed at some point, but keyword - changed! They didn't end! Because when I moved here to my dear wife @opashoo, I suddenly was in a Filipino household - a proudly Filipino household. These were second generation immigrants born here from a first generation immigrant. They'd brought back quite a bit from the homeland, culturally. The kids were raised American but the mother is anything but. And I... sort of felt out of place. Over the last few years I'd become immensely disenfranchised with how I was raised - simply American. No heritage. No traditions. Just American. What was my heritage? War, apartheid, glorification of war, consumerism, food, whiteness and an overbearing reliance on Christianity. Fuck that. Fuck all of that dude.
So I asked myself, what do I have? Can't just take any old culture, that's appropriation. But, then I remembered... "Hey, wait. My dad did a genealogy test. He came up mostly Scandinavian. We already knew this but we thought it was scottish ancestry - no, turns out it was Vikings. Huh."
And theeen a loooot of things clicked.
Now in this moment I need to detail something I skipped over.
Tumblr media
Oh Kara Thrace, you crazy cunt. You crazy crazy bitch. Definitely one of my biggest fictional crushes ever - Kara Thrace was the baddest bitch on TV when I was a young boy. I'd had a handful of pilot idols, sometimes they were women and all that mattered to me was, "Were they good pilots?" - and Hel the fuck yeah they were. Especially her. Kara's the best pilot. The best fucking pilot ever. Luke Skywalker? Please. Wedge Antilles? As if. Darth Vader? IDK they're pretty supernaturally gifted both of them. Fox McCloud, Han Solo, Spike Spiegel, Hoban Washburn?
All great, but none of 'em are Kara Frakking "Starbuck" Thrace. After all, who could be? Well, that was a worthwhile question to answer. So... I took the name, Kara. I decided it would be my promise to myself. "Live up to the name. Be the best pilot you can be." Even if my Deuteranopia had other plans. For a little while there I was, actually, extremely good and known to be, extremely fucking good.
Tumblr media
Oh boy was I ever. Firaxa-1 "Dodger". A name that's gonna' live in a lot of heads for a loooooooong time to come. But that's a story for another day. Well you see, choosing Kara was accidentally... prescient. You see, Kara, really Kára, is a name of Scandinavian origin. It is the name of one of the Valkyries - a particularly tempestuous one. I can relate. They say that it's Italian but... Nah, it's not solely Italian. Well, this was the name I picked. It pretty accidentally lined up with my faith-to-be, so that was really fucking cool. I think I sort of knew though, having played God of War 4 recently and beating every Valkyrie that wasn't named Sigrun. Anyway. With my love's permission - because... Well, we have a lot of loud racists in the Asatru community - I had to make sure sure trusted her new girlfriend with this exploration, and not to get weird and crazy with it. And she did - I got her permission and abandoned Christianity after many years of disillusionment, feeling unwelcome, unwanted, and uncared for by the faith. There's still so much I'm learning. I still haven't read the Eddas. I REALLY need to. But I've celebrated Midsommar, Yule, a couple of times, a couple of Blots, and I personally got my mother in law into Mead - she LOVES the stuff and she doesn't even drink. Anyway. That's how I ended up an outspoken queer heathen. So... What about the subject? Well, here's where Van comes back in.
Tumblr media
Van was the one I targeted for heathening up - as, at the time, Sal was in a different kind of slot. So I used Van - who had been a somewhat cynical truesona (Unemployed, played gigs at bars, lived out of a Van, etc.), into something a lot more aspirational. Van stopped being just a Shark, and ended up a Ru, which are the shark folk of my own setting, Beacon.
Tumblr media
It was certainly a choice to prominently feature Heathen imagery in Beacon as I continued to develop it, but it was, I think, the right choice. Through Van I explored Ru identity - and now they're Shark Orc Vikings who are kinda' fuzzy, in space. They're also huge. Like, 7 feet tall. (Hilariously, not huge by furry shark standards, but I'm not talking about my gripes with Furry Shark Twitter HERE... Not yet... Not today!) And out comes the chief representative of the people to the audience thus far, as a character. Van had become something more solid in my setting and was a... "Fully realized" me. She's loud, she's boisterous, she's hot as fuck, she's heavy but tough, she's a badass and she's a Valkyrie! She's just cool. And yeah, that's Van. But my relationship to heathenry does not stop there. Because, for you see, I am transgender. I am very very transgender.
Tumblr media
And I make no effort to hide that I am a Heathen. I tell people, when relevant, that I'm transgender. At least when it feels safe to. I do not hide that I am MADLY in love with my beautiful wife who is very much not white. I do all these things in opposition to the bastards who try to steal my ancestors' symbols and use them for eugenics, bigotry, hatred, segregation - evil shit. Evil shit that they should NOT be safe for advocating.
There will come a day where someone gets the wrong idea. Maybe they'll think I'm a horrid bigot for wearing these symbols - I wouldn't blame them. I'm over six feet tall, pale as shit, blonde and blue eyed- I'm like, the PICTURE of what weirdos think Viking women should be. lol, too bad for those types, I'm transgender. But, also, like... There'll come a day where some other heathen who wants to stir shit up will figure out I'm not like them, and want to get into a scuffle. I'm ready for both of those things. One can be handled by talking, the other needs some fists. But, yeah. It's part of why I'm so outwardly, loudly, a heathen. Why I wear every single thing proudly. Because if I don't all we collectively are gonna' be known for is hate. We can't have that. Not when we're gaining more members every day, not when we can set good examples, not when we can CHOOSE to oust fascists, bigots, and other bad faith actors. We have to. We cannot let them own what is ours and use it for hate, when our own ancestors didn't give a single shit about genes, about where you were from, what you did - just who you were. And - when I say ancestors, I don't mean blood, I do mean ideological ancestors. I may have blood roots but Ásatrú is for all races, sexuality, genders. But not all politics or beliefs. No sir. Be whatever gender you want, date whoever you want, have as many partners as you want and it's completely fine for beating the shit out of someone who calls you a slur. That's what I, what we, believe in. The original post refers to Ergi, by the way - and it is not a term used lightly. It was a pretty grave insult and saying it made you fair game for getting an axe to the face, so if you did you... pretty much had to be ready to bite the dust. Dunno' about the polyamory, but I'm pretty sure our Gods aren't pearl clutchy about several partners. The Aesir and Vanir got busy wildly in the Eddas. Anyway, hope this is clarity enough. Glory to the Allfather - and that's ALL father, not SOME father.

To Prove To You - chapter seven
Wordcount: 5.2k
Masterlist
Series Summary: Nereide is a sea nymph with a peculiarity: she knows how to control her element (water) and has magical abilities. Poseidon, aware of her gift, decides to send her to Asgard as a student of Frigga. She studies with Loki, and as they grow up, they begin to develop feelings for each other. But what if Odin's plans for her get in the way?
Chapter summary: During their mission, the warriors notice that something has changed between Loki and Nereid. And as soon as the two have a moment of solitude only a bad feeling makes them separate
Content: unestablished relationship, friends to lovers, fwb, platonic love, romance, angst, fluff, loss of verginity
Content warnings: smut, melancholy, dacryphilia, Loki is a fabulous bitch with a big heart and a witty sense of humor, a bit over dramatic and very clever. He's sensitive, but hides his feelings and acts really rough around Nereide also because he likes to see her pouting and eventually becoming even more clingy.
Chapter warnings: Thor doesn't like Lady Loki :( , Loki has so many "gay mean friend" vibes, fluff, soft and a bit sub Loki, drug use.
To Prove To You Playlist

Tumblr media
-Look, it suits you!
Nereide rolled from her back to her belly on the bed, waving her feet as she began to read from the book she was holding in her hands.
-I asked my father
I said, “father change my name
The one I'm using now it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame”
He said, ”I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use it for a weapon
Or to make some woman smile...”
She hummed a melody, a simple one. She was avoiding the refrain on purpose. She loved the ballads from Midgard.
-“Then let me start again”, I cried
“Please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm”
“I never never turned aside”, he said
“I never walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up pure and free
May it be a shield for you
A shield against the enemy...”
-You’re way too fond of Midgardians…
-Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy that.
-I didn’t.
Nereide rolled her eyes and sat on the bed with crossed legs. Loki was still walking around the room. He groaned, handling various items of clothing, throwing them or picking them up from the ground to look in the mirror and become more and more impatient.
-Getting dressed in the morning is SO difficult!
He whined, tossing away another one of his shirts.
-Because your main problem is that you’re incredibly messy, so your floor, bed, the trunk over there, really anything solid, becomes your wardrobe. No seriously, i can barely distinguish the items underneath your clothes.
Loki frowned and put his hands on his hips. What an attitude…
-That’s my way of being organized.
He said, staring into Nereide’s eyes.
-You’re too impulsive. And you always buy a shit tons of clothes.
-I need them.
-You always end up whit the same outfit!
-Take a closer look to the details, bitch. It’s not always the same.
-Huh, Bitch who???
Loki used his magic to put clothes on and Nereide facepalmed herself.
-You always end up with the same outfit AND you always do this shit to put your clothes on!
-it’s because we’re late???
-You’re cronically late!
It was early in the morning, yet these two continued to bicker loudly.
They packed up quickly and left the room one at a time, to make sure no one saw them together nearby. They found themselves at the bottom of the stairs, walking side by side along the dark corridor. There was no sun that morning, fog covered the steep mountains of Asgard.
Loki was the first one to speak.
-Anyway, humans are alarming. Wars, strikes, farmers' demonstrations, riots, crimes, speeches... The tumult of that planet is frightening. I hate public agitation, clash of opinions, outbursts of intellectuals, if we want to give them the honor of being called as such. They are right and wrong, and instead of stirring up the controversy they do nothing but exasperate it. All over the Earth's surface, humans condemn other humans in the name of a principle, a faith, a simple calculation, greed. I despise humans.
Nereide was smirking during his speech and nodded a couple of times.
-it seems that instead you really like these humans. Look like you want to save them.
She chuckled softly as they went outside.
They had quickly set up for nothing: there was no one yet. They didn't even have breakfast.
Nereide sat on the stairs in front of the main entrance.
Loki smiled at her with obvious ill-intent in his eyes, but the smile was like sugar and only made him look more sinister, as though he had some secret plan in store and this whole conversation was just another layer of his deceptive schemes. That look always irked her. It seemed like a plot to mislead and manipulate her in some way.
She looked up at him, crossing her arms over her chest
-Are you Allright? Looks like your planning something
-I am always planning something, it is my nature to be the master of deceit.
She rolled her eyes, combing her hair with her fingers
-I still don't understand why i like you so much...
She mumbled, gesturing him to sit with her
-You do?
The two exchanged a knowing look and Loki sat beside her on the stair, their arms brushing together. His shoulders rolled back and his body relaxed, he leaned his elbows and stretched out his legs, like he wasn’t hiding anything and had no malicious intent.
-Oh, how flattering.
His eyes glistened with glee, and a smile spread across his face. However, that smile didn’t reach his eyes. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, making her lose her balance. She placed her hands on his big, strong thigh, her eyes glued down there. She couldn’t help but look through his inner thighs, picturing his groin, felling the tingle on her skin just by remembering his cool skin.
-What makes you like me so much?
She freed herself from his hold and reached for his hair, combing his raven strands. She sat on her kneel to reach his head better, his arm moving from her shoulders to her hips. She didn’t move away from his embrace.
-Well, you’re one of a kind, unique.
He laughed again and gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand.
-You flatter me. I'm glad you are able to see beyond the slander.
His eyes blazed with fury and rage at the thought that the people of Asgard could think so low of him, that he was a mere troublemaker, not a god with talents in his own right.
-Some day they will see...
He growled in a voice barely loud enough for her to hear.
She kept combing his hair, trying to calm him down
-One day you will learn that you don't need everyone's appreciation
-You’re…kinda right. I don’t need their approval. For now all I need is your approval. After all, you’re much smarter than the majority of these mortals are! You’re intelligent, and beautiful, and I just can’t help but be…
Enamoured with you, he would have said. But he didn’t. He just shook his head, looking at that weak and grey dawn.
-The rest of the world looks at me like a monster.
-You're not a monster
-I'm so lucky to have you so close to me. I just... I just want to show how much I appreciate you...
-And how would you show me?
She looked at him straight in the eyes, breathing softly and slowly.
His hand went through her hair, to her nape, and he pulled her to him.
He spoke quietly, as though he had something to hide from the rest of the world.
-You’re the only true friend i’ve ever had. And the only one that makes me wish to die by your side.
She blushed red, looking at him and biting her lower lip.Those ere some heavy words to speak.
-You make my heart melt with your words. You are honest, right? I want to trust you
-Honest?
He chuckled
-I'm so honest I'm practically an open book to you.
His hand brushed her cheek gently. He was still speaking quietly but more loudly than before, moving a little away from her, to better look her into her eyes.
-You are the only that lights a warm fire in my heart. There are no secrets, no deceptions, between us.
Nereide held him tightly in a big embrace, pulling his head to her chest.
He leaned into her suffocating embrace. He was quiet and still for a bit, and she could feel the gentle rise and fall of his breathing on her chest. It was cool and she could feel the gentle beat of his heart as it was beating against her skin. It was steady, regular, slow, steady, a consistent beat that was telling her that even though he was close and safe to her, there was also something else in his mind. Something dangerous about whatever he was thinking.
But she felt so safe with him that she was slowly falling asleep, rubbing her cheek against his head, trapping herself in his arms.
A smile curled the corner of his lips as she was resting. He whispered so quietly she could barely hear him say:
-Sweet dreams, darling
He softly stroked her hair, and hummed a somehow tuneless song to comfort her. He didn’t realized it, but he was humming the same ballad she was reading to him earlier that morning.
When he spoke again, his voice was back to its normal volume, but that edge of something sinister was still there.
-Sleep well, fair Neri. I will be watching over you.
*
-There you are.
Fendral bent down next to Nereide who was squatting next to a creek, making a few bubbles with its water, making them float as they all walk down the path in the woods.
The others were walking ahead, and Fendral joined them.
Loki lifted his gaze and popped a bubble with a flick of his hand, the smirk never leaving his face.
As Nereide played with her magic, Loki walked back in front of the row with Thor.
Loki was looking at her from time to time, cheking on her. He was quiet, something unusual.
-You’re overthinking, aren’t you?
Thor asked him.
Loki gave him a half smile.
-I always do, it’s saved my ass on multiple occasions.
Thor glanced back at the others and then back to the path in front of them.
-Heimdall could have left us nearer the Palace.
-The walk builds the character, i suppose.
-Don’t complain about your feet hurting then.
-Complaining is my specialty, so don’t put any expectations on me to stop, Thor.
-Thank God you’re not wearing heels this time.
-Who said i wasn’t.
-CAN YOU STOP TO SHAPESHIFT WITHOUT WARNING!?
Loki chuckled. Her sweet laugh made her brother uncomfortable.
-That would ruin th surprise!
Loki exlaimed before both her and Thor got swept up from Nereide and Sif.
Sif patted their shoulders and pointed in front of them.
-Look, we’re arriving!
The group stopped at the exit of the woods.
Far from there, after a lush green land and beautiful fields of wildflowers, the Palace stood in all its magnificence, with its artistic architecture, adorned with sapphire stones.
Nereide was staring at it in awe and she took Loki’s hand.
-So…we’re really in Alfheim.
Loki nodded, her black locks brushed her neck.
Alfheim was adorned with aboundant and colorful flora, but its wilderness made it look like a unhinabitated land.
After their war against Svartalfheim, their power was given into custody to the Asgardians.
The people there were kind and generous; they valued kindness and cooperation above all else. All were welcome and everyone is treated with respect. It was a dreamland.
It was home of the Light Elves, beautiful, radiant beings. Unfortunately, a few survived.
The mission of the young warriors was to ensure that the light of Alfheim was safe, and in the event of having to fight against anyone who tried to take it.
Loki was still holding Nereide’s hand when she had noticed something weird.
-The palace is receding
She said, turning to her brother.
Thor pinched the bridge of his nose.
-Please, turn back into a guy.
-Hey, you’re already in four.
She put her arms over Nereide and Sif’s shoulders.
-We’re in the minority.
Thor motioned as to throw her his hammer and she jumped away, shapeshifting again.
-Fine! You damper.
-What does that mean that the palace is receiding?
-It means what it means, Thor. They casted a new spell.
-…then solve it.
Loki glared at Thor and he laughed.
-If looks could kill.
-I don’t need that to kill you, i can do that with my bare hands.
-You two, cut it out!
Both Sif and Nereide shouted as they were still walking ahead.
Sif scoffed, walking with heavy steps.
-I think we will stay here longer than expected
*
Sif seemed to be the only one who took their task seriously.
Fendral, Hogun, and Volstagg were just playing dumb, swinging their swords in the long grass, dandelions flying in the wind.
the companionship had been traversing those fields for hours, the glow of the sun never descending from its zenith.
Fortunately, the climate in that kingdom was mild.
The palace never seemed to get close, despite the fact that the surrounding place gradually changed.
The boys found themselves having to go down a cliff.
Sif advanced right behind Thor who marched proudly, concentrated on the sole objective of reaching that castle while Loki tried to decode that spell to reach it.
One by one, they all jumped the crevasse.
However, when Sif turned to check, she noticed something that particularly caught her attention: not that Nereid needed help, but Loki had remained there, on the edge of the precipice, waiting for her.
Sif gritted her teeth, still staring at them.
- Careful there.
Loki said stretching his arms forward to give her support.
Nereide jumped with ease, still grabbing his arms.
Nothing cheesy, the two resumed walking quickly to reach the others, continuing to whisper to each other about how they could unhinge the spell.
Sif watched over the irked.
But her mind wasn't there.
She couldn't help but imagine Loki's body crushing Nereide's. All those muscles moving...
The kidneys game, the powerful and tender hands, the devouring mouths that rested everywhere.
A rebellion against them took hold of her.
She resented them, for that easily found happiness.
Sif had a lead ball in his chest. Yet she had hoped for their union. Yes, that was fine.
She had to let Thor know, at all costs.
So maybe he'd stop fantasizing about that “fairy”...
The same Thor who hadn't even looked at her since they arrived on Alfheim.
The same Thor who never worried about her, because she can take care of herself.
Nereide knows how to hendle danger too, so why is Loki so considerate of her. Why was the greediest, nastiest, craziest god in Asgard acting like this around her.
If before she only hated her, now she wanted her dead.
*
Volstagg rolled a hashish cigarette.
They smoked in turn.
Sif refused: it made her nauseous.
Loki said it was "foolish" and "outdated" but took three drags as Thor handed it to him with a smirk on his face. Then he held out the cigarette to Hogun. He filled his lungs and brain with that scented herb vapor. His thoughts wavered, then settled.
They still hadn't been able to get very close to the palace.
Since night never fell in that realm, they decided to stay in the woods, protecting themselves from the sun with the fronds.
They had made a camp and lit a fire. Finding no better way to sleep, Volstagg came up with the excuse of smoking some weed to relax, finding himself Thor, Fendrall, Hogun and Nereide around like beggar dogs.
Fendrall was dizzy. He nodded his head and sighed.
-I'm flying guys, I fly!
Nereide spun around and dropped next to Loki.
Thor's gaze stuck to the profiles of the two illuminated by the flames.
He was glued to her, just a little above her, applying small kisses on that face of hers. Her lips were glossy, she had this habit of licking her lips all the time, and she was laughing so sweetly.
Thor avoided to look at them.
He was used to see his brother having fun with others, butto see him so close with Nereide made him feel uncomfortable.
He knew it wasn’t just a matter of “some fun”, but he wished for that day to arrive later...
He has always been fascinated by Nereide, and he did know a thing or two about nymphs...
He must’ve talked with Loki. He mustn’t cross the line with her.
Bed time came sooner than what they though.
All in their tent, everyone but Loki and Nereide were sleeping already.
With one knee on the bed, Nereide pulled down the covers. Such was the anguish mingling with her joy that She jerked and shivered.
He held His breath until she was fully laid down besides him, covered again. Loki let out a sigh.
Feeling her eyes on his body made his head spin.
-it is better here than on the floor.
She said in a weak voice.
Blindly, in the dark, Loki put his arm around her shoulders. She let him. Cheek against cheek and feet together. From those points of contact a tender burning spread throughout Loki’s whole body.
He wanted to cry and bite.
His mouth brushed the girl’s ear.
Inexplicably, he thought of his mother. When he was a child, She would take him with her to bed. He thought at his mom’s soft voice. Loki closed his eyes.
Nereide propped herself up on one elbow and turned her torso towards him, with her back against his chest. He was spooning her, and they both slipped into their sleep.
When he woke up, Nereide was sleeping again in her Place.
Loki thought she went as he fell asleep. He could understand her, he was the first one who didn’t want any trouble with the others.
Not yet, at least…
-Neri
He came closer to her.
-Neri, wake up.
She groaned a Little, covering herself with the blanket
-mmmggghhh…pleased…five minutes more
He pulled the blanket off of her forcefully.
-NO. I cannot allow any more time be wanted by your laziness. I have a busy schedule. We have a Mission. Hellooo? MIISSION.
Nereide jumped off the bed in fright.
-AYE SIR, DIDN’T REMEMBER I JOINED THE WARRIORS
Loki got real close, inches from her face.
-Right. So if you continue disrespecting my time by snoozing ever again…you will feel my wrath. Do i male myself clear?
As a yes, Nereide kissed the tip of his nose and hugged him.
Loki looked dumbfounded for a second before Rolling his eyes, smiling a little and hugging her back.
-Okay, you win.
Nereide giggled, jumping into his arms. His stupida Little doll…he loved to see her being so cute. Also, It irritated him so much he wanted to fuck Her brains off.
-You know, not many can get away with Just ignoring my orders. How Is that you always manager to get around me so easily?
He smirked, raising his eyebrows. His canines were so sharp and White, they looked like pearls. Nereide wished to have them sinking in her veins.
She began to play with his hair.
He looked much more like a broom than a charming boy when he woke up, but She liked him always.
-because i don’t fear you
She answered blantly.
-But what if you should? What if I decided to be a very scary being, what then?
He asked, whispering.
Thank God the others were outside.
-I will be terrified but terribly in love with you still
She answered.
Loki blushed slightly.
-Well… I suppose it’s worth a try then. What if…
he picked her up in his arms and gave you a little shake. He was holding her up from her armpit with zero effort, as if She was his Little pet.
-What if I threatened to have you killed if you didn’t behave? That would probably make you fear me, yeah?
She stared deadly serious into his eyes before She spoke.
-I will kill you before you can do anything, then i’d take my life out of guilt
He looked at her in disbelief, not anticipating this answer.
-You’d just kill us like that? Just… snap our lives out of existence, no hesitation?
She shook her head, still as a dead Wright in his hands as he was pinning her to One of the tent’s mainstay.
-Actually no, and i don’t even want to think about something like that…
-Huh… So… no matter what, I can’t intimidate you? You’re the only one who can get away with such brazen disrespect?
-You know i don’t fear you because i do respect you, you know? She grazed his features with her fingertips.
He blushed a little at her touch.
-I…suppose that’s actually a good answer. You are a very, very wise woman, Neri.
She chuckled and took his face in her hands
-Well, thank you, your majesty.
He kissed her softly on the lips. A small, in between lips Kids.
-I think I like you, Nereide, more than…a normal friend, i think?
-You think?
She giggled, caressing his cheeks. He could be so awkward some times.
-i am sure i do.
She patted his shoulders
-Now off we go! Isn’t the God of Mischief a busy one? We need to do break that damn spell.
He put her back down and they went outside.
-Where are the others?
She asked as Loki used his magic ti eliminate any proof of their Camp. Yep, tent and everything else.
-they’re surely messing around the Place. Hey.
He smirked and turned to her, taking her hand.
-Let’s go ruin Thor’s day, shall we?
Nereide High fived him and dragged him with her in the Woods.
-Onward, child! Let’s kick some asses.
Nereide giggled at his side.
-Aye sir!
-We’re going to beat him so badly he’ll beg for mercy. No more bragging rights for that iidiot
He mimed smacking his lips like Thor and making some stupid macho sound.
She laughed, still awkardly marching with him
-We’re gonna dEsTrOy HiS hAmMeR
She tried to mimic Thor without success. Her voice cracked too and she laughed once more.
Loki raised his eyebrows at her and stopped.
-Bitch that was horrible. Want me to teach you how to do a proper Thor-impression?
-Yeeeeeessss
-Okay, here’s the secret. You gotta be really cocky and braggy. Try to say something idiotic as: “I am the best! Who can stop me?”
-Okay uhm…
she made all muscly poses as if she wa a chad
-I am the Best, who can stop Me!?
-Yes! Perfect. Now, just add some ‘macho sounds’, like this!
He did that stupid macho noise again.
She went all grrr, and he looked at her with pressed lips again.
-No girl. That was awuful. But i must Say you’re trying your best. What a great student i have.
She bowed like an actress
-You are very kind, too much actually.
He laughed.
-Don’t give me too much of your praise or I might get an ego and become an unbearable tyrant.
-Aren’t you already?
She pushed him and ran away. The leaves cracked under her feet, her sweet laugh melted with the birds’ sinking.
Despite being in heavy armor, he chased after her easily and catched her, pinning her to a tree.
-You’re lucky you’re so adorable.
He smirked and began to kiss her neck and She trapped herself into his arms.
-You can’t escape me. Nobody can beat me!
He nuzzled into her neck, making her giggle and Rebel a little. He hen whispered in her ear, “Nobody but you.”
She gasped, a giggle escaped her lips out of embarrassment
-oh you… Look what you do to me.
Loki grinned. Hs lips grazing her sensitive skin.
-And what do I do to you, Nereide? Tell me.
His voice was husky, his breath was hot, his nose tip was grazing behin her ear as he pressed his thin lips on her neck, giving her a wet, allouring kiss.
-I want to know, in full detail.
Nereide squirmed and squeezed her legs, nearly collapsing he was still pressing her body against that tree.
-No!
She whined, turning her head to the opposite part, as if to push more towards him.
-Oh, what’s that?
He laughed, amused, taking her wirst in his hands.
-Did I hit a sensitive spot?
He briefly looked into her eyes, just to have a glimps of her dull eyes. His eyes were sparkling like ones of an animal. He leaned back on her, biting her neck gently, sucking on her skin.
Nereide moaned, clenching her hands into fists, trying to get closer to him. She desperately needed to feel his body pressed against hers.
-Looks like someone is in the mood for some dirty things...
He teased her, still with his low, velveteen voice.
-Please, stop… You’re making me weird
She maoned again as he proceded to lick her neck all the way up to her ear
-Oh? Did I hit the spot? Is this making you…wet? Don’t you want to surrender to me, darling?
She took a hold of his hair, he grabbed her by her hips, making their pelvis meet.
-i- Oh god…
Feeling him grinding on her was something she could barely handle. She wanted to undress him, throw him into the gound and grind herself on him, on his abs, on that marble and sculpted belly of his, descending down to his erect penis, bringing it to tears as he did with her.
The passion was so strong that she wanted to hit him. It was mutual. Though Loki always treated her with the utmost regard, part of him wanted to see her suffer for him, with him, and then lose herself in each other's pain.
That maniac…he began to chuckle and bit her skin harder, making her squirm in pain.
He tilted his head and looked at her, a devilish grin on his face.
He read her mind.
-Oh? Is this you tough, my small, naive Neri, are you becoming a bad girl?
He went to suck on the skin of her neck again, more aggressively.
He grabbed one of her breast with one hand. His hand was so big it could take it all in, feeling her hard nipple on his cold palm.
She sobbed, her breathing was irregular. She didn’t feel humiliated though, something in his voice hinted some…pride. He liked that.
She held him closer, whimpering his name, unable to push him away nor to say anything else.
-What? What is it, Nereide?
He asks in a whisper, still nibbling gently at her neck.
His voice was soft, but it was so teasing, hypnotic.
-Speak to me, my love. Is it that you cannot control yourself around me?
Nereide nodded vehemently, whimpering between her gritted teeth.
It was a miracle she was still standing on her feet.
-Oh, how adorable. I adore it when you lose control. So…
Loki grabbed her face, squishing her cheeks, forcing her to look at him.
-How about letting me do whatever I want to you right here, right now?
She nodded, breathing heavily as she tried to grab his arms
-Yes-No! Not here…
Loki chuckled again, holding her into his arms, placing his palms on the small of her back, still without moving from her..
- Aww, come on! I can’t be a very good God of Mischief if we can’t be a little naughty here and there, yeah?
She pouted, whimpering again
-But i don’t want anyone to see us
she spoke in a honey tone and saccharine words, with her humid lips searching for his.
He leaned in, holding her tightly and kissing her softly.
-But it would be more… exciting if people found out… wouldn’t it?
He whispered, kissing her neck again, then biting it gently.
He had left a couple of marks there, easy to cover. Just a little reminder for her.
-You’re an exhibitionist
He chuckled a little.
-Oh, I’m so much more than just that, sweetheart.
She chuckled, grabbing him by the collar and switching their positions. Now he was the one trapped between the tree and her fragile body.
Loki looked at her in astonishment,.
-Ohh? What’s this? So… domineering of you. I must admit… I kinda like this.
She held him firmly by the collar
-I think someone needs a little punishment for their naughtiness
-Oh? A punishment eh?
He smiled wickedly.
-I wonder what torturous punishments this beautiful woman has in store for me?
She smirked, dragging him like a dog on a leash back to where the tent was.
-I think Thor and the others could wait for us a little longer.
-Hmm…
His face melted into a smirk.
-How long do you think we could give him, darling? An hour? Two?
With a move of his hand, he made the tent appear again. He hated to waste
his energy to make magic like that, but well, it was kind of an urgency
-Maybe Three?
She chuckled and pushed him on the bed
-I really like the fact that you’re indulging me
he chuckled lying in the bed as she forced him.
-I could give Thor a century if you asked it of me… especially if it means we get to do this.
She got on his lap, biting her lower lip and smiling.
-Mmm, so what do you have in store for me? What sort of punishment were you thinking of, my Dear?
She beganto take off his clothes slowly
-How about… The same thing you did to me before?
He shuddered, shivering.
-Oh well…
his voice quivers slightly.
-I really should have seen this coming.
She went down and kissed his neck, nibbling his skin and licking it.
Had he had the bright idea of reading her mind? Well.
She wouldn't spare him an iota of her imagination.
And so of course she was slightly scrathing his chest with her nails, of course she was riding his muscular abs, rocking her hips slowly reacing to his bulge just to retreat on the best.
-Oh. Ohh. My-
He squirmed slightly, closing his eyes and throwing his head back
-Oh my goodness, you are one very devious girl, aren’t you?
She nodded, biting his jawline as her hands where still keeping her steady on him.
Loki let out a little sound of surprise, trying to look down to see her body moving on his.
-You really know what you’re doing, don’t you? You…fuck, you have me, completely… You know that? God…You’re driving me insane. Is-…Is that what you want?
She nodded.
-I want to see ho much can you take.
How??? He could feel her wetness on his belly and she talked to him this way?
She was going to pay for this…
So much.
He arched his back, letting out a small lough.
-You evil one…
He took a hold of her neck.
-Do you really think you’re the one in control?
-Mh…
She grabbed his face with one hand. Her sudden move made Loki leave her.
-No? How ‘bout me leaving you here?
She stood up from him.
His eyes widened, a look of confusion on his face as he reached out for her.
-Wait-
That panic of his fastly turned into a smirk as he realized that may be part of her little plan.
But then, they both looked at each other seriously.
-...Are you thinking what i am thinking?
She asked himas he quickly dressed up again. He nodded as they both walked outside.
He mastered his daggers, she mastered her ice spear.
-Yes...there’s something wrong here.

What are Mango Languages?
A Duolingo type company headquartered near me. They had a position for a copywriter ("storyteller" they called it) and I was so excited. I thought that spreading the word of an app that would teach people to communicate with each other would be just fantastic.
As a polytheistic pagan, I had been happily figuring out how to actually communicate with multiple Divine presences in a way that made sense to me (...think about 'em really hard as people? I dunno, I have a really vivid imagination), and was doing the equivalent of going through every number in my contacts and sending them a "New phone! It sends pictures now!" text with a picture of me holding my cat.
So I had confirmed my broship with Odin, my sisship with Artemis, decided that the goddess Diana was not actually for me (they are vastly different at this point and may have always been), and was doing stuff like having Bastet help me communicate with my cat (it was great).
One day I'm hanging out with my now-wife talking halal meat (it's good stuff) and she suggests simmering some baby goat in goat milk.
I start to say "That sounds go--" and then a Voice from the Heavens resounds in my ear going "That was the ONE combination I SPECIFICALLY asked people to avoid" and I start to feel super sad for the baby goat.
And I say, "Honey, the G-d of Abraham just asked me not to. Think I'm gonna. Not."
And she's like "ugh are you gonna turn frum"
And I'm like, "I don't have the executive function for that. Just not the goat meat with the milk. Feels weird to me."
She's worried I'm about to become a zealot, I'm just asking her to make her goatmeat gyros with the goat feta on a day we don't hang out, or at least brush her teeth really good before she kisses me. I can deal with not eating one particular combination, especially when it would honestly be pretty gamy. Lamb with chevre is still fine.
So I put the screws to Adonai, because motherfuck has a lot to answer for in my opinion.
I see this job for Mango Languages and I think it's a perfect fit for me. And hey, Who offers to help me out? All I have to do is separate my consumption of milk and meat by three hours. Not even six. Just half the time, because something about my metabolism. He's willing to be flexible.
Aight cool. I do that for a few days. It's not super hard if I pay attention.
I get a callback, and they have decided that there is actually no need for the position. I Don't Get The Job so hard that the position itself is eliminated.
"?????" I ask Adonai, who shrugs and says, "Look, I tried My best, y'know?"
MOTHERFUCK, YOU PUNK-ASS BITCH. UGH.
So now I ask Odin for things instead.
Odin delivers on His agreements. Sometimes He delivers so hard it's incredibly inconvenient, but BOY do they show up. You just want to experience His Presence in the Flesh? Get ready for a veritable stream of crazy and/or high desperate folks knocking at your door asking for help. Or coming up to you in parking lots asking for help or money. Or just wanting to have a random, insane, highly pleasant and enlightening conversation with you.
(A roommate asked for that. And we all got That. For the record, I felt the promise has been delivered upon, but the roommate was consistently unsatisfied.)
Anyway, I'm sure that Mango Languages has a fine product, but I would not know for sure because they did not hire a copywriter to tell me about it.
(And I still get real pointed at the G-d of my fathers for, well, anything I can think of. Just because you can communicate with a god doesn't mean that you are obligated to be nice to them.)
