It wasnt one of Loki's "pranks", it was actually one of several times that Loki bailed the rest of his adopted family. They all sort of blame Loki after the fact, and threaten to kill him unless he fixes everything, but even in the end of the story nobody was gonna honor the deal, they just sorta happened to win because apparently Loki is down with that. As soon as the castle/wall is built, everyone in Asgard "conveniently" recognizes the builder(s) as giant(s)/dwarf(s) and tells 'em to piss off, even if/when they won the bet. In the end, Loki fucks a horse so his (sorta) dad can appear honorable. OutsideAngel has a new favorite as of 13:17 on Apr 22, 2015 |

The giants wanted to build a wall around Asgard. A dwarf (I think it was a dwarf in the version I heard) came to the court of Odin with his horse and offered to build the whole thing, but in exchange he wanted Odin's wife, Frigga. Odin was of two minds on this, because on the one hand, you get a sweet wall, but he tended to get really possessive of Frigga, and she'd probably be super pissed if he traded her to a dwarf. He is conflicted, until Loki tells Odin to stipulate a time limit - the dwarf would have to build the entire wall in a summer. The gods assume this to be impossible, so Frigga can stay and they'll get a sweet wall. As the end of summer approaches, the wall nears completion, and Odin gets kind of antsy. He orders Loki to figure out how the dwarf is getting all this work done in such a short amount of time. So Loki shapeshifts and spies on the dwarf and his horse, only to discover that the Horse is magical - it brings stone as fast as the dwarf needs it and seemingly works tirelessly. So if the horse is the problem, you just gotta get that out of the picture. So Loki shape shifts into a beautiful mare (yes, a mare) and when the overworked, undersexed magical horse sees this mare he's like 'gently caress this wall bullshit' and runs off into the meadow after her. The dwarf is pissed, Frigga gets to stay, and the Asgardians got (most of) their wall. After all this is done, Loki returns to Asgard with a foal, because when he was a mare he let that magic horse gently caress him and he became pregnant with, and birthed, a foal. Everybody's just kinda like  until Odin is like "this is a totally sweet horse, and i'm gonna name it Sleipnir.' It is in this way that Odin's horse is also his grandson.

Remember that time when some guy stole Mjolnir or something and he said he'd only give it back if he was given Freya, but Freya wasn't gonna go along with this crazy poo poo so Loki dressed Thor up as Freya and gave him to the guy until they got Mjolnir back so Thor in drag just bashed the guy after getting it back

Lizard Wizard posted:My favorite thing about that picture is how Daffy Duck is both on the wall and directly on the guy's belt buckle, as if the artist knew it would never be readily apparent. Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:Annnd on the seat below him it says "I'm a duck." If you have to go to this much trouble to clarify who your reimagined character is, you're not doing a very good job. This HAS to be a reference to something from the actual show. Like maybe one of those rabbit season/duck season episodes where Bugs and Daffy try to trick Elmer Fudd into shooting the other one by dressing them up as the other species. ... That happened in a Looney Toons episode, right? Or did I go insane at some point and make this up?

There was also that one time Loki tied his scrotum to a goat and played a game of tug of war with it to try and make Skadi laugh (And succeeded.)

Fangirls love the horse thing but I havent seen much of the other stuff popping up in their fanarts. Leave it to the norse to have inter-species transformation mpreg in their mythology, I'm surprised its not more popular in the weird fetish community.

I think it's one of those things where you work for a long time to get somewhere and then you try to make as much money as fast as you can because it's not going to last.

Maybe a little late to the horse-loving loki chat, but the best thing about that story is it is, essentially, made up. No, not in the "all norse mythology is made up" way. As in, "it was a story made up by some lawyer called Snorri in the 13th century that sort of just got canonised". Seriously, the eiht-legged horse was only ever written about by this one dude, probably because he was trying to make Norse mythology seem "hip" and "cool" to young people (why he thought eight-legged horse was the answer I dunno). I I remember right he also made Odin a matyr so as to appeal to those kooky christian kids. Relevant because it's basically weird fan art making into actual mythology.

All the Greek stuff too. It's just so long ago that we don't have any perspective. In the year 4000 friendship is magic might be the biggest religion.

You do know that we only really have the Prose Edda (Snorri's) and the Poetic Edda, right? Nothing in Norse mythology has a lot of sources. It literally can't. Also, you're dead wrong, because the Völuspá hin skamma references Sleipnir as Loki's son, and that's from the Poetic Edda. e: Also, with a little searching, Sleipnir as an eight-legged horse is attested in the saga Hervarar saga ok Heiđreks, and is seen on the pre-Christian Tjängvide image stone.

Isn't Snorri pretty much the only source on ancient norse mythology we have? The oldest, at any rate. Yeah, everything about Loki the Cosmic rear end in a top hat, Baldr's absurd niceness, Odin's martyrdom etc. reeks of Christianization, but we don't have any comprehensive tellings of those myths that aren't several centuries out of date. Goes for a lot of mythology, actually. A lot of what we think of "[X] Mythology" has been filtered through centuries of historians, translators, playwrights and propagandists. Hell, "history" as we know it is in a way weird fanart of reality. I bet you've read a story that casts Christopher Columbus, real life murderous despot and lucky dipshit as a clever and courageous adventurer held back only by peers who refused to acknowledge his genius.

From what I remember, this is because norse mythology was mostly passed down orally. People just told eachother stories from mythology but didn't necessarily write it all down, and it fell out of favour when christianity arrived. There probably used to be more written down, but written records get damaged even when people are trying to look after them properly, let alone if they don't really give a poo poo.
