I love that this conversation is only moderately weirder than the actual myth.

Even more than that, I love Loki's weird childbearing ways. According to Wikipedia, he once spent eight years as a woman having babies. Plus, when he ran off to sleep with a female frost giant, the children he had with her were a giant wolf, a giant snake, and Hel. Loki is a font of multispecies children.

Also, there was the time a giant stole Thor's hammer and demanded to marry Freyja, so Thor and Loki put on pretty dresses and went to the wedding and Thor got his hammer back and killed everyone with a hammer.

I've just been reading about how Loki was also the god of ergi, which is basically "sexual deviance", which included "taking the passive role in gay sex".

[wolfy_writing]

So he's the official Norse god of men bottoming and anything else considered potentially deviant? Awesome!

[apiphile]

AND CROSS-DRESSING. :D :D :D Clearly he needs to be added to my personal pantheon alongside Bacchus and the even more made-up Anishvaravadi.

[wolfy_writing]

Yeah, he does seem like a god invented just for you.

[swear_jar]

THAT IS AWESOME.

[apiphile]

I view it as less weird because we don't actually believe it happened...

I know! LOKI WHAT THE HELL IS WITH YOU.

[wolfy_writing]

That is a good point.

Loki-sex must have a whole new level of anxiety. Not just worrying about whether pregnancy happens, but what species it's going to come out as.

I also imagine that the birth is NOT FUN

(the fic I'm writing at the moment has one pregnancy on his part which involves perpetual rot and the vomiting of maggot balls because I WRITE WHAT I WANT)

[wolfy_writing]

Yeah. Things that would be not fun down there - hooves, claws, or fangs.

(I love how interesting your brain can be.)

[apiphile]

Interesting is a very polite way of saying "wrong". :D

[wolfy_writing]

Well, if I said it was wrong, you might stop, and you should never, ever stop.

[apiphile]

All it ever does is encourage me. :D
