That's why between the two I actually prefer the Lokasenna to the story of Baldur as the reason for Loki's falling out with the other Aesir, if we're making a comparison. The death of Baldur is cool and dramatic and all, but the Lokasenna is just so much more relatable. Ultimately just that one friend or relative who showed up at the party in one of his Moods, and everyone knows he's just going to spoil everything when he's Like This, but trying to get him to ease up just gets him to come in harder, and because you're family he knows just how to get everyone wound up and what raw nerves to work until one time is finally the last time, you love him and he's come through for you before, but you hate him and he's fucked you over and he's out of second chances, you're fucking done, there's just no choice except to bind him to a rock with the entrails of his son. ...okay I've never had that last part happen but, y'know, I get it.

I think the reason so many people think of gods as obviously immortal is because of the influence of Abrahamic religions where God-with-a-capital-G is timeless and eternal, and thus naturally immortal, which causes folks to assume gods-with-a-lowercase-g have the same attributes, even though in many mythologies, the immortality of the gods is conditional in some way (often with fruit that grants eternal life.)

0:03 I remember a story of while alex hirsh was writing the finle for gravity falls he and the writing staff had a big whitebord that everyone in the disey building could see with *HOW TO KILL GOD* in giant letters

please do the second part about skadi is one of my favourite myths had consequences for this one...skadi try to merry balder but merry Njord instead they hate each other reign... skadi hate the sea and seagulls...while Njord hate the mountains and wolf's...and Loki had to make skadi laugh and he end up fighting a goat... is insane

How do you kill a god? The Fates: You called?

“Pope tested, Jesus approved” is the highlight of my day

Loki's expressions when Idunn is being kidnapped (3:55 and 3:59) are heartbreaking! Really conveys how he does not want to do this and hates that he is doing it because it's just a horrible thing to be doing. Kudos to you Red!

And that his regret isn't just from the rapidly approaching consequences.

You know, for a supposed god of trickery and deceit, Loki seems to get duped way more than he should

He's the most cunning of them all. Wise, not so much

0:36 Reminds me of a tumblr post about dead gods in the sense of "I killed it and it's still a god" that goes "it is still worshipped, prayers are still answered, even as it lies pierced with a thousand swords and burning with chemical fire"

I cant believe you didn't mention the best part of the myth! Ok so after all of that Skadi/Skade who is the daughter of Tjazi says that as consolation she should get to choose a god to marry. The aesir agree on the condition that she can only choose based on looking at their feet. Skadi picks the prettiest pair of feet, thinking the are balder's but they actually belong to Njord, the god of the ocean who has such clean feet from standing in water all day. Skadi and Njord eventually divorce which I also think is pretty funny.

They'll tell the story another time

"Teatime of the Gods" sounds like the title of an amazing British diety sitcom.

I mean, there's a Douglas Adams book called "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul" that has Thor in it, so . . .

Loki and trouble...a match made in...Valhalla? Yeah, Valhalla.

Anyone who know the Norse runes double check this but I think the framed runes in the giants house say "live, laugh, love"

This boy is just constantly causing disasters and I absolutely love him so much.

shoutout to Tjaste for soul reading Loki so hard that he knew Loki would start whapping him with a stick after getting his dinner stolen and so he prepared his magical glue spell in advance

Last time was Blue serenading us with the history of Snorri "I shall make problems for myself and all Iceland this morning" Sturleson, and now shortly afterwards we have Red giving us more Norse story times. What a nice back-to-back.

"Logi *better* not be messing with me again" loll

I like the part right after; where the giant’s duaghter shows up Armed to the teeth with a bunch of scary weapons to take revenge but ends up settling for a husband picked out by their feet.

Surprised we didn't get a cameo by Sun Wukong trying to snag his, fifth or sixth layer of immortality juice

Why is nobody talking about the incredible “the Pharaoh’s favourite furry” line? 😂

Thanks to time zones, I was able to watch this at 11:00 am on a Friday 2 hours after the fact

“Here’s a fun existential question to ponder at 11am on a Friday:” Me, watching this video at 11am on a Friday 2 hours after it was published: HOW DID SHE KNOW?!

2:00 that reminded me of a phrase in Ursula K. LeGuin's _World of Rokannon_ "their culture had no gods, only heroes"

I still like to stick to concept of "gods live while someone still remember/worship them" and dang: every and each of gods and pantheos are *owe* so much to you, Red. (especialy Dionysos and Loki, my favs) Keep the flames burning!

THANK YOU! OMG I HAD TO SCROLL TOO FAR DOWN FOR THIS! I APPRECIATE YOU!

"The current pharaoh's favorite furry" was not a phrase I expected to hear today. Or ever really.

You should see how Red drew Sekmet and Bast for her video about the lion headed goddess! 😘

Really? I thought it was a pretty natural conclusion to draw.

I have to say, I like the "Looney-Tunes-Antagonist/Loveable Kids-Cartoon Villain" version of Loki way more than the "cunning badass tricks everyone" version of popculture.

Crying Falcon Loki is so spectacularly funny XD

got jumpscared immediately by the "11am on a friday" bit because I am watching this at 11am local time (two hours after the video went up) and was not prepared to hear that

"Suffered the consequences of all three of Newton's laws", that's the best.

YES FINALLY more loki! I was lowkey waiting on this one! I mean, loki's lowkey always gonna make from some lowkey fun stories, and OSP just makes it better. As always. Hell yeah. Loki. Edit: Huh wasn't expecting the beatles today

Love this! Especially the lines about needing to look cute before you die in the apocalypse. This whole thing is just very dramatic and funny. Thanks for this!

I love the drawings in this one!! Always a fun time, thanks Red!!

I love how Loki is basically the Aqua (Konosuba) of Norse mythology. causes more problems than he solves, and yet you can help but like him

2:25 As if Thor losing in a wrestling match against Old Age wasn't obvious enough?

" world build a paradigm where gods are utterly unkillable so long as they are believed in" *shows a picture of Tiamat, from Dungeons and Dragons, where several gods have killed each other just cause*

I don't think it can be said often enough how glorious these comics illustrating the story are the Loki-Hawk crying got me so good
