#if someone who knows better about Norse stuff wants to correct me go ahead 😭 the articles seemed a little sus to me

AUTUMN REMINDED ME TO YAP ABOUT WEDDINGS, HERE, okay. I don't know if this was intentional right- okay well this first part was very intentional obviously the Scourge are based on Norse Vikings- side note but I'm pretty sure Vlagnagog's real life inspiration is a Norse god called Níðhöggr (Nidhogg) ANYWAY that's interesting but it's not the point of this post the point of this post was talking about how Lucio's wedding habits have parallels to Norse traditions

all pulling from this ask of course:

two things to note here

>"tied the knot"

VERY INTERESTING WORDING YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING

need I say more, and

>why so many tigers and ocelots?

Lucio's not much of a cat guy? hell, Pepi hates him, we know this from at least 2 different Heart Hunter interactions. but like keeping in mind that he leans more in the bird/dog/miscellaneous albino animal direction- why just. some normal ass big cats. WELL. it makes me think of the Norse goddess Freyja, who among many other things, embodies love- so it makes sense to invoke her imagery at a wedding! (or a fantasy world's equivalent to her) (AND to add to that, some articles I've read claim that Vikings would give new brides kittens because of these associations but other articles disproved it. so I guess it's up in the air. the cat/love associations are still there either way so big cats specifically being at a wedding makes sense)

but yeah intentional or not I do like to run with this kind of thing I think it's cool
