Myeuh-muh?

I love this because I am seemingly physically incapable of saying this word. I *know* how you say it, it just comes out wrong every time.

“I told you I would tell you my names. This is what they call me. I’m called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-Eyed. I am called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-Bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn, Thought and Memory; my wolves are Freki and Geri; my horse is the gallows.”

Neil Gaiman, American Gods

I was reminded of this when I blogged the ~historical~ Loki, and had to go hunt it down.
HOW AMAZING IS THIS? (*&%(&*^. It’s the most fantastic amalgam of movieverse Loki and mythological Loki, I can’t even. I love this fanart so so so much. You know, this is actually about how I imagined the version of Loki in American Gods, derp.

In which J.R.R. Tolkien lays the smackdown on the Nazis.

There’s a later one, too, where he complains about how thanks to “that ruddy little ignoramus” Hitler people give you the side-eye if you like Nordic mythology…

You are aware that the Loki of Norse Mythology is not the same as the Loki from Marvel Comics and Movies, yes?

Not reblogging the original argument because dear god I don’t have the time or energy to go through this shit again but NO I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. :-P
