Norse mythology is weird.
Jul. 8th, 2013 09:23 pmSo in Norse mythology, Baldur is fucking invincible as all fuck. Shoot rocks or cannonballs at him all fucking day and he’ll yawn with boredom. Stab him with swords or daggers and they’ll bend and he’ll yawn some more. Shoot him with a fucking laser cannon and he won’t even get a sunburn.
But then he dies when Loki gives him a fucking splinter.
What. The. Motherfucking. Fuck?
Oh, and as if that’s not bad enough, some Norse pagans will go into a froth-at-the-mouth rage against Loki for doing this. How the fucking Hel1 was Loki supposed to know that Baldur, mister look-at-me-swat-bullets-like-flies, would die from a simple fucking SPLINTER? True, it was mistletoe, but, come on! I’ll bet Loki was the most horrified of anyone! It’d be like watching The Hulk get hit by a nuke and laugh it off, but then you shoot a spitball at him, it gets caught in his throat, and he chokes to death on it. Who the fuck expects THAT to happen?
And then, to top it all off, Baldur is going to come back from the dead anyway. So whoopee doo! Poor Loki.
1 = Did you see what I did there?
