#the Rainbow Bridge

A (probably) speculative question, if you dont mind.

Do you know how many miles long the Rainbow Bridge is from it's starting point in the city/palace to it's end point at Himinbjorg?

I read on the wiki that in the MCU, Asgard is about the size of the continental United States, which made me realise we see only a fraction of it on film. And that got me thinking about the dimensions of the city. And the population and where they live. We know so little about Asgard.

Hey Anon, thank you so much for giving me another opportunity to ramble about Asgard!

First, let's take a look at the view from Himinbjorg AND the palace:

As you can see, The Rainbow Bridge is very long and Himinbjorg is so far away it looks like a mere dot. When in reality, the structure itself is massive. Here you can see Heimdall standing inside for size comparison. The bridge is also quite wide.

Now, let's look at Valaskjalf: The palace is ginormous (these pillars right here are chambers, as seen in the scene where Frigga fights with Malekith- one of them is hers, and they can be barely seen when looking from the city's borders)

The entrance in the lower middle used to be the throne room before they moved it higher up and that is a great example of how big the halls are

Now for the entrance gate-

This entire section right here is BEHIND the gate.

As you can probably tell by now, the gate is outside the city.

Here is the size of their horses for comparison

This one shows the bridge connecting to the palace

While I cannot give you the exact number as it is not stated anywhere (not even in norse mythology) and I don't plan on spending my morning calculating how long a horse is and how many would fit lol, I think this is a good way of seeing just how big Asgard is. Remember, the realm is much bigger than the city. There are mountains surrounding it which were not really shown or explored apart from some brief scenes in Ragnarok (but I prefer to not treat that movie as canon on anything else but the look of the realm)

I had to say goodbye to my youngest cat today, who succumbed to the effects of histoplasmosis about three hours ago. He had a seizure and lost the ability to stand in a matter of minutes. I already don’t know how I am going to get on without him. He was the best guy on four feet.

Happy Birthday, Doctor 💕💕 even though yesterday was one of my hardest days yet, I still wanted to try to celebrate

Sadly, my beloved dog, Dakota, passed away peacefully yesterday morning in my arms. He was 15 years old, and he lived a really good and long life. He was the bestest friend I've ever had, ever since I was 3 years old. We had him since he was only 5 months old. He is my Sunshine, and he always will be 💕🌈

Losing one of our babies hurts. I try to bring comfort with my artwork. The words of The Rainbow Bridge went perfect with my new Forever Love piece. I also offer custom dog memorials…just ask. GET IT HERE

It is with a very heavy heart to inform you all that tonight, our beloved Butch has sadly passed away.

He contracted a urinary tract infection and unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the vet by giving him antibiotics, it wasn't enough. He was in pain and we couldn't let him go through this in pain, we decided to make the heartbreaking yet humane decision to send him off to The Rainbow Bridge, pain free and peacefully.

He was inside our house, warm and surrounded by people who loved him and cared for him. I was there, holding his paw and stroking his little head and paws till his final moments where he passed over to the Rainbow Bridge. He's up there with Ronnie now, another beautiful little angel.

Goodbye Butch, you will forever be missed by us all. You will live on inside our hearts and watch over us as a little angel.

Goodnight our beautiful little potato, we love you so much. Until we meet again my beautiful boy.

On today's episode of me seeing things on my dashboard and relating them to my hyperfixation.

This reminds me of the rainbow bridge in Asgard.
