Horsemen By Artem Demura

In case you don’t know this story, the Norse gods wanted a wall around Asgard to protect themselves and a jotun only known as The Builder offers to make it in exchange for Freya, Sun and Moon. Freya gets rightfully pissed and refuses (no word on Sun or Moon’s feelings about this), so Loki turns into a female horse and lures The Builder’s horse away, causing all work on the wall to stop. Because he can’t finish the wall The Builder has to leave without Freya, Sun and Moon. Loki disappears for 9 nine months and returns with an eight-legged foal (yes, he had sex with the horse and got pregnant. I know you all love that part). The end.

For some reason people often leave out that The Builder wanted Sun and Moon too, and English translations often translate it to “the sun and moon” as if he wanted the heavenly bodies, but no, he wanted the goddess and god responsible for said heavenly bodies. He absolutely intended to have sex with all of them which is why a lot of translations leave out Moon because ew that’s gay.

Freya didn’t want to marry a Jotun, let alone as part of a god damn harem me thinks.

Forest

Do you want to make a trade?

give me one memory you don't like and I'll let you have a memory I'm very fond of. A memory of a peaceful spring day.

You lay in nice grass. Not itchy, not spiky. Nice, soft blades of grass gently tickle your legs and the sun shines softly on your back. Just the right amount of warmth. You smile and rest your head on your arms, content with the world. The birds gently sing, a peaceful calming song.

There's bright yellow dandelions around you, enough to make 100 flower crowns. You start humming a tune, joining the birds in their song. You close your eyes and enjoy this wonderful moment, sun warming your back and nature keeping you company.

You can make this trade any time, anywhere. All you have to do is hand me a memory you don't like so that I can hold it, so it'll be smaller and further away.

Listen to the birds and enjoy the sun.
