Loki the god of basedness

Gods: "Yo lets throw shit at Baldur. It doesn't matter anyway, he's invincible"

Loki: M I S T L E T O E

In some versions of the story, Loki gets away with Baldur's death without the other gods realizing he was behind it - but later he shows up drunk and uninvited to a feast, calls Odin gay and Thor a coward, claims to have slept with Tyr's wife, and admits he killed Baldur to his mother's face, (All in the form of an improvised poem) and then he gets bound.

He called Bragi (god of poetry) a coward, Thor arrived later that evening and unlike everyone else he wasn't having it. Loki called his wife a hoe and he beat the shit out of him.

He gets in a couple jabs at Thor before running away though, specifically mocking him for being scared by the fake giant Skrymir, and for being unable to prevent Odin's prophecized death in Ragnarok.

Will smith slap but intead it was the MOAB (Mother of all bonks)

Loki don’t be based challenge (impossible)

/s

/s? This mf doesn't even exist

??? Wym he’s right in fro

I’m the version I read everyone new Odin was gay and Loki just called him a bottom

Le poison in my eyes for eternity has arrived

Le Ragnarök has arrived

Le Gimlea awaits the chosen

Le earthquakes have arrived

Le tying up Loki with the intestines of his children has arrived

Vali did a little trolling

Go ahead you can't unfuck a horse a wolf and a snake

Technically that would be "you can't unfuck Loki" because he was the recipient

And then gave birth to an 8 legged horse

Which was promptly turned into Odin's war horse

And sleipnir, also a bad dragon dildo

But...but...but baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats physical and magical

Except mistletoe

"Cry about it"

-Loki

Le redhead Thor has arrived

cumtext?

After Loki indirectly killed Baldur using a mistletoe arrow, the Norse gods decided it WAS NOT just a little bit of trolling and went after Loki. As punishment, they tied him to a rock and hung a snake overhead. It’s venom would drip from its mouth and hit Loki in his eyes, torturing him until Ragnarok. TLDR: Loki did a bit too much trolling and the gods made him endure Chinese water torture acid edition.

I’m scared to ask what water torture is

Dripping water on someone’s head (incredibly unsettling for the tortured) till they crack or go insane

you left out that they tied him to a rock with his kid's intestines

After turning one into a wolf to eat the other

I believe some tellings of the myth his wife holds a collection pan underneath the snake to keep the venom out of the eyes but every now and then she has to dump it out and that causes some sort of phenomenon (which I don't remember but the type of phenomenon that requires myth to explain it) when the poison gets into the eyes

contex?

Gods had everything swear to not kill Baldr because someone had a prediction that he would die and nobody wanted this to happen (except of course teh eternal contrarian, Loki.) Once it was done, the aesir celebrated by throwing stuff at Baldr and it just bounced of. But Loki had noticed that they had forgotten mistletoe, so he made a small arrow out of mistletoe and went up to a blind ase who was sad that he couldn't take part in the celebration. He benevolently gave this god his arrow and helped him aim at Baldr, tricking him into killing the beloved god.

Baldr's death also starts the apocalypse

also the god he tricked into killing Baldr was Baldr's brother.

Ah yes, his twin brother Höðr the blind god of winter and darkness, who's heart filled with sarrow causes Fimbulwinter.

And that is why earthquakes happen

Great OP, thanks for spoiling Norse mythology for me, I'm currently reading it in my English class /j

Le mistletoe is too small and innocent to possibly hurt Baldur

le what the fuck did odin whisper in baldur's ear has arrived

We must be better doge Loki

They tied him up in his own kids intestines

Something did, indeed unmistletoe the baldr

What I thought Baldur is invulnerable against any threat, Physical or Magical.

I guess Misletoe is the only one that harms him then, aye brother?

Loki : the 'we do a lil' bit of trollge ' prankster deity !

Baldr proceeds to not give a fuck and gets unmistletoed after Ragnarok anyways

Context?

Norse mythology.

All of Asgard is malding over Loki tricking a god into killing Baldr with a mistletoe arrow. Now he’s tied to a rock with a snake dripping venom onto him until ragnarok

Can't un-Ragnar the Rok baby
