#more hel

Los Campesinos! - Long Throes (Punks on the Playlist Version)

[mitch-the-writer]

Dear everyone writing with Norse mythology

I want less Odin, less Thor, less Loki, less Freyr.

I want more of Hel, Loki's daughter and god of death.

I want more Skadi, the jotunn goddess of hunting and skiing.

I want more Angrboda. Loki's frost giant wife who births a serpent the size of the Earth and the wolf monster Fenrir.

I want more stories with Freyja, queen of the valkyries, and less stories with Freyja, identical clone of Aphrodite.

I want less Aesir gods, and more Vanir gods.

I want to hear more about Odin's other sons - Baldur and Vali (and sometimes Heimdall and Tyr) -  not just the god of thunder. 

Norse mythology is as interesting and varied as Greek, Roman and Egyptian. Stop telling me the same three stories.
