bisexualmollymauk:

half of fic research is rereading the fandom wiki four times for obscure character info and the other half is googling shit like “when did we start using drywall in home construction”

If you’re a Norse heathen and believe that “race mixing” is bad

• remember that many of the gods are born from interracial pregnancies between the Aesir, Vanir, and Jotunns.

If you’re a Norse heathen and are transphobic or homophobic

• remember that many of the gods will alter their forms drastically, the most notable being Loki changing into mare and being impregnated by a male horse, and later giving birth to Sleipnir

If you’re a Norse heathen and fascist

• remember that vikings were largely democratic and would regularly hold votes to decide legal matters, and were incredibly accepting of other cultures

Re-blogging this for the Nazi who just started following me ❤

Great post, I feel the same way @danishheathen !

If you’re a Norse heathen and believe that excluding people with disabilities is fine

• remember that all deities deserve the same respect, even the disabled like for example Hödur

if you’re a Norse heathen and think being misogynist is cool

• remember how Freyja would slay you, how Skadi insisted on her revenge

If you’re a Norse heathen and think people with disabilities don’t deserve the gods:

Tyr is missing a hand asshole

Time to share this again!

Wow, it finally hit 5,000 notes!

Not to mention Odin is missing an eye, and also went on transgender sexual exploits.

In any case, as far as the disabled are concerned, let’s turn to Havamal, shall we?

Now granted, people have translated Havamal in so many ways, although often the ultimate meaning is intact. Anyway, verse 71 says:

The halt can manage a horse,
the handless a flock,
The deaf be a doughty fighter,
To be blind is better than to burn on a pyre:
There is nothing the dead can do.

This may be referring specifically to warfare, but the main point is still discernable: so long as one is living, they still can play a part in this world. And let’s not forget that the book is ultimately a guide on how to be a welcoming, kind person, while not tolerating injustice (although admittedly, verse 75 is a bit sketchy, as is the distrust of women. It’s a product of its time.)

In conclusion, Nazis are asshats, and we should be kind to people except them.

Reblogging again for good points.

And among the many interracial gods, Odin and Thor themselves are mixed race, as their mothers were Jötnar (Ice Giants).

If you’re a Norse heathen and dislike transvestites, may I remind you of the time Heimdall and Loki talked Thor into wearing drag.

Multiple Gods. No Masters.

Once more with feeling, so Jojo Moyes and the gang behind “Me before you” can hear it:

The halt can manage a horse,
the handless a flock,
The deaf be a doughty fighter,
To be blind is better than to burn on a pyre:
There is nothing the dead can do.

tl;dr no you can’t use ~~mythology~~ to justify abhorrent views, you hats of rectal origin.

(even if it was accurate it would still be terrible but it’s also incorrect)

This made me think of @lady-feral.

Look, I’m a crippled brain-damaged bi guy who was born nine weeks early, after hanging/strangling on his umbilical cord. I’m an Odinsman, Study the lore, and I’ve got all the right signs for it. I’m a storyteller, writer, published poet.,

If you’re disabled in any way, please, understand that the Norse Gods will still welcome you to the fire.

Young and alone on a long road,
Once I lost my way:
Rich I felt when I found another;
Man rejoices in man,

A kind word need not cost much,
The price of praise can be cheap:
With half a loaf and an empty cup
I found myself a friend,

Not a heathen, but if any followers are…please read this…and stay away from @pagansuncensored because it is a shitshow right now

Most Norse deities are disabled. Hell, Odin, who is probably the most well known except for arguably Thor? Both disabled. Norse gods are incredibly human in that they are flawed in character and body, just like we are. So anyone who isn’t on board with accepting others but claims to follow Norse deities? I call bullshit. 

If you’re using Norse symbols and you’re a white supremacist, you literally deserve Mjölnir to the face. Literally the most accepting belief system and you’re using it as a position of hate, step off your high horse and you’re weird interpretations and kindly fuck off.

In class we were talking about how cats teach themselves to hunt around their collar bells, and this dude followed that up with “well you know how Santa has those reindeer covered in those bells, right?” 

and what he going for was “the bells on cat collars are the same that reindeer are pictured wearing”

But what *I* heard was “Santa’s Reindeer are predator animals that are covered in bells for our protection” and let me tell you I did not appreciate that.

Just hear those slay bells jingling.
