Now listen

lokionathroneoflies:

sifsdottir:

Norse mythology does not have a devil. Making Loki into a devil is completely wrong. The concept of sin and the devil as twisted evil and instigator of sin is a very Middle Eastern thing, firmly rooted in the religions stemming from that area. In pre-Christian Europe there was no such thing.

So just don’t. Doesn’t matter what you think about Loki. Just don’t.

Cute .gif (and cute Hiddles aside) I’m a bit confused by this line of reasoning. 

While Norse mythology doesn’t have a devil, it does have the concept of evil. Not to say that Loki is in fact wholly evil at first. He does some bad things, and some good things. However, as I’m sure someone named sifsdottir knows, that the good pretty much ends with his engineering the death of the truly good Balder (which is also an advent to Ragnarok) by tricking Balder’s blind brother into killing him, and later thwarting all efforts to bring him back to life. If one looks at all that Loki did around Balder’s death, it was seen as twisted, and certainly one might assign it evil. Certainly Norse mythology has him punished for his action, and it being seen as rightly so. Because what he did around Balder’s death was seen as very bad, and worthy of punishment. So maybe Loki started out more Raven and Hermes than Lucifer; more trickster, than evil. But Loki does in fact slide into what was seen as someone truly bad in the context of just Norse mythology, every other myth/religion aside. Within just the context of Norse mythology Loki does in fact cross the moral event horizon at a certain point. 

So is Loki purely evil all the time, and the instigator of all evil in the world in Norse mythology? No. Does he end up as seen as evil within the context of Norse mythology? Pretty much, yeah.

The easiest way to get a group of Americans to violently turn on each other and fight to the death is to ask them all what carbonated soft drinks are called

The answer, of course, is fucking soda

do you literally want a fight right now

And to think I called you /friend/.

r u effin kiddin me

get out of here

its soda because its syrup mixed with SODA WATER

Why would you even call it pop? Because the bubbles pop? We don’t call lions roars or burgers tsssss.

And not that’s not even taking into account the South, where they call it all “coke,” and then ask you what kind. Or those who call it soda pop. 

Bring on the rumble!

As God is my witness, as God is my witness they’re not going to lick me. I’m going to live through this and when it’s all over, I’ll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If i have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again.

I adore Vivien Leigh —and a case of the perfect actor for the role. So talented, and oh yeah, divinely gorgeous in this film. I just wish the actress had been better served by medicine in her time. *sigh of sadness*

I’m a nerd, but not in the useful “you’ll all be working for me one day when I invent jet packs” way. I’m a nerd in the “I have very strong opinions about history and literature and will yell them at you if you give me even the slightest opportunity” way. And that one does not pay well.

subbuglio: - You know how I feel about her. There’s no way that, at some point while it was happening, that you weren’t thinking about how much I’d hate you being with her. Veronica Mars, 3.12: There’s Got to Be a Morning After Pill Ah yes, the scene where I kind of hated Veronica. Madison didn’t roofie her! Madison was being set up to be raped, and accidentally got out of it by spitting in HER roofied drink, and giving it to Veronica. So Veronica’s blaming Madison for any of her rape? is gross. Not to mention the fact that Logan wasn’t dating Veronica at the time, and had no expectation of ever doing so again. Did he want to again? Parts of him? sure!. Should he live the rest of his life planning on it maybe happening? No. So Logan had a sad, drunken hook-up over Christmas with someone he hates, so for himself, I can see why Logan would love to forget it ever happened. Though Logan did in fact tell Veronica he was with someone during their break “I fooled around with this horrible girl who meant less than nothing to me, and I couldn’t regret it more.”  So I don’t get the whole “I lied,” thing honestly. Other than they were trying to make Veronica more sympathetic with her unreasonable “sexual jealousy” crap. Can’t say as I think it worked.

veronicamarsconfessions: “I hate that Veronica, for even a second, accused Weevil of the bus crash. How could she?! How could she not know better than that by now?! I know she has trust issues, but to think Weevil could do that?! Really?!?!?!” Maybe it was the whole being shot at, and almost killed, while in Logan’s car, that made Veronica question what Weevil was capable of. While he didn’t do it personally, and denied that he was the one that ordered it, Veronica a.) didn’t know that b.) still has a right to be skeptical is he was telling the truth.  So I personally don’t see Veronica doubting Weevil in the beginning of S2 as a great betrayal of their friendship.
