Without a doubt the most well known story about the Nordic gods, mainly because it’s one of the first children are taught.
A jotun stole Thor’s hammer, and refused to give it back unless he got the goddess of love, Freya, as his wife. When Thor told her to get in her wedding dress and go marry the jotun, she got so angry that the whole world shook so they had to find another solution. Finally it was suggested that Thor dressed up as Freya instead. Thor of course protested but Loki, who apparently always thought men in women’s clothes was an awesome idea, convinced Thor by saying “And of course I’ll come with you as your brides maid” But Thor made an awful woman, and Loki had to save his ass time and time again and had to come with weak excuses as to why “Freya” was acting so manly. Finally Thor got his hammer, had a massive hissy fit and went home.
In this version however, it’s the owner of a drag club who has the hammer, so Thor and Loki has to dress up to sneak in and have a look around (Well, they didn’t have to be in drag, but Loki said they did and Thor had never been a place like that, so he just trusted Loki).
I'm sure that, if he was asked about this later, Loki's exact words would be "He looked gorgeous. I looked better." Thank you for drawing such a perfect picture for this myth. I adore your work.
And it looks to me as if Loki is enjoying himself WAY too much!
"so he just trusted Loki" Oh yeah, like there would never be any repercussions from that ...
This is too, too funny!
