thraaaaaaaanduuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiil:
Norse mythology fails to convey the sense of terror that must have hung over Asgard every time Loki was gone for longer than eight months and three weeks
#okay but imagine the betting pool#is it gonna be half undead?#horse with too many legs?#a giant fuck off snake?#who knows! ( @much-ado-about-mothing)
Loki, holding up the newest baby Lion King-style: IT’S!!!!! A WOLF!!!”
underneath the rock: *dozens of creatures from all over Nine Realms muttering quietly, exchanging money*
#you fools #wolves gestate for only 2-3 months #and horses can be pregnant for over a year! #there is no period of time that they can relax for #literally any time he’s out of their immediate supervision #he might be coming back with another harbinger of ragnarok #bundled up in nappies [X]
I love Loki
Just imagine being that-non-binary-giant-who-gave-birth-to-all-the-legendary-beasts-half-of-which-will-cause-Rgnarök
Loki only gave birth to Sleipnir though? I’m pretty sure his wives gave birth to the rest.
The Eddas are pretty vague on that one. His sons with Sigyn are only mentioned once and their origin isn’t explained in detail. In the Lokasenna, Odin accuses Loki of having spent several years bearing children with either a mortal man or a giant and Loki doesn’t deny it. As for the monstrous trio – It really depends on the version. In some Loki is married to Angrboda, in others he eats her heart and that results in him giving birth to all monsters.
