Peter Anderberg25:e april drar vi till #Sälen igen! Hoppas att det finns lite snö kvar. #Balder och #Loke kommer älska att vandra på fjället när det är snö kvar! 😀
Å andra sidan är de som husse och matte! Kommer vi bara upp på fjället är vi tillfreds!
AnjaBlode4) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: However, it is true, as Balder says, that Loki (also in the sources) always takes on a lot of responsibility and tries to help. The Norse gods would have been really lost without him in some cases. In the series, Balder also thanks Loki for this. One contradiction to the sources is that Loki destroys the mistletoe weapon so that he can no longer kill Balder with it. #norsemythology #loki #anime #balder #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯
3) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: It's also interesting that Loki has horns in one sequence. That seems more like a Marvel thing to me; the sources don't depict Loki with horns. And Balder in the series loves meat, as we hear in several episodes. I would associate that more with Thor, if only because of Thrymskvida from the Poetic Edda. And I don't know this doubting, desperate Loki from the sources either. #norsemythology #loki #anime #balder #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 #ragnarok #thor
2) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: In the series, this branch was reforged into a blade that Loki now wields. He would rather kill Balder with his own hands in order to prevent Ragnarok. This is contrary to the sources, in which Loki's actions lead directly to Ragnarok. In the series, too, everything is done to prevent destruction, but it is Loki who does everything in his power to prevent the worst from happening. #norsemythology #loki #anime #balder #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 #ragnarok
1) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: Loki wants to kill Balder, a necessity, not simply out of pure jealousy. Balder is also portrayed as the god of destruction, who will destroy absolutely everything. Yet another reinterpretation of the Norse sources. Apparently, the only thing left to do is to kill Balder. And hey, here we have the reference to the mistletoe branch from the Prose Edda, which never swore not to harm Balder. #norsemythology #loki #anime #balder #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 #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 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.

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
Continuing with Kamigamo no Asobi: Balder's family name is Hringhorni, which is actually the name of the ship on which he is laid to rest and then cremated. At least the name has something to do with Balder, even if it's not a ship. Are there any other references to Hringhorni in popular culture? Let me know.
