Kamigami no Asobi, Episode 10: We have a clear reference here to Loki's involvement in Ragnarok (cf. Norse sources). During the play, he clearly states that he is planning a coup d'état. At the very end, he is teased that his hair resembles a tail. Is this a reference to prose edda? Here, Loki transforms himself into a mare (which is why I mention a tail), mates with the stallion Svadilfari, and gives birth to Sleipnir. #norsemythology #loki #anime #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 ragnarok #proseedda
Kamigami no Asobi, episode 8 (2): Balder develops into a yandere and seems to suffer from his divinity, especially from the fact that many are attracted to him. Balder and Loki seem to be best friends, but what is the meaning of the episode's ending? Loki promises Thor that he will kill Balder with his own hands. Have we ended up back in the Old Norse sources? Let's see what episode 9 will bring.

Kamigami no Asobi, Episode 8: Loki, a character from Norse mythology, usually causes a lot of trouble. In the series he tries to avoid trouble and gives the advice. There are still a few pranks, but so far they have been harmless and in episode 6 they were even intended to help others. The series refers to Loki being a descendant of the Jötnar. However, in the sources he is an áss, even though his father Fárbauti is a Jötunn. #norsemythology #loki #anime #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯

I just added some additional data to my spreadsheet. Just in case #AmazonDE ever argues that they fixed the miscredits weeks ago, I have now screenshots of each article with time & date.

Just dropped a quick guide on how to build better Kyverno alerts using Loki. 🔍

The main challenge was that Kyverno logs originate from its namespace, but I needed the alert to reflect the target namespace (where the policy violation actually occurred).

I used LogQL's label_format to rewrite namespace_extracted → namespace before aggregation to get actionable alerts.

Kamigami no Asobi Episode 7: Balder explains why he cannot be hurt, see Prose Edda. Thor is surprisingly calm. This does not correspond with the medieval sources. We also see a somewhat mischievous Loki, who deliberately misbehaves, but it also appears that he is simply jealous or wants to avoid upcoming difficulties.

Kamigano no Asobi, episode 3: the gods discuss their food, and Loki doesn't really care. Yet he is a glutton. In Gylfagynning of the Prose Edda, Loki claims he can eat faster than anyone else. He competes against Logi, but loses. Logi represents fire and even consumes the trough that held the food. No wonder Loki loses. Maybe Loki doesn't care what he gets to eat in the series. The important thing is food. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #loki #edda #proseedda
Still stuck on Kamigami no Asobi: Balder is very clumsy and constantly falls over. However, nothing happens to him and even the forces of nature don't want to hurt him. This is clearly a reference to the Poetic Edda. Frigg makes all things swear not to harm Balder, except for a mistletoe branch, which Loki later uses to kill Balder. I'm curious to see if this will be picked up later in the series. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #balder #loki #mistletoe #edda #poeticedda

I had a book marketing plan, but fuck it. It felt forced, fake. The book is lyrical, romantic and may have a bit of wisdom about resilience and reinvention. I'm really proud of it. You can find it here:
