saw the cute post about Thor teaching Loki how to show affection his cultural way (kissing) and was wondering how Jotun show affection? (and does Thor ever try to copy/misunderstand it >.>)

They rub their horns together <3 thankfully Thor’s rough beard has a similar effect and Thor is touched as soon as he learns why Loki rubs his horn against his chin (and nearly pokes his eyes out).

At one point he got some artificial horns but Loki found it mostly funny. Thor never tried that again but found out that quality time has the same effect. As in sitting down with Loki and hone his horns with special instruments and decorate them with rings.

Thrym, king of the Jotnar

      In Norse mythology, Þrymr (Thrymr, Thrym; "uproar") was king of the jotnar. In one legend, he stole Mjollnir, Thor's hammer, to extort the gods into giving him Freyja as his wife. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but according to Hversu Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish province Värmland, then a part of Norway.

      Þrymr was foiled in his scheme by the gracefulness of Heimdall, the cunning of Loki, and the sheer violence of Thor. Thor, son of Odin, later killed Thrym, his sister, and all of his jotnar kin, which had been present at the wedding reception. The poem Þrymskviða gives the details of how Thor got his hammer back. Bergfinnr is a son of Thrymr, the Giant of Vermland.
