Yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groomās bride is
uh⦠Thor?
Some people will have no fucking idea how funny this is if they havenāt heard the story.
It is a LITERAL thousand-year-old myth that once, when a giant stole Mjolnir to force Freya to marry him, Thor somewhat successfully impersonated the goddess of love and beauty (with Loki as his lovely handmaiden full of excuses as to why she ate an entire ox at dinner) and participated in a fake wedding to get it back.
Please observe Freyaās chariot cats supervising the whole thing going āGods are so dumb this will never work.ā
Look at Loki helping in this versionāhe looks so excited!
Hemsworth and Hiddleston would have been so down to portray this
We were robbed of this scene and I feel it in my blood.
The best thing about this story is that Thor really doesnāt try, at all.
Like he puts on the dress, he keeps his mouth shut, but that is where his contributions to keeping up this ruse end.
Loki is the one who has to come up with an explanation for why the blushing bride has just finished off half the banqueting table and washed it down with four full barrels of mead (āFreyja was so excited for the ceremony, she hasnāt eaten in a week!ā) and, when the groom takes a peek under the veil, why sheās glaring at him with such clear murder in her eyes (āsheās er⦠tired. Like super super tired. Hasnāt slept in a week.ā).
Thor barely restrains himself from slaughtering everyone in the room until his hammer comes out, and then he grabs it and uses it to slaughter everyone in the room.
Depending on how you read the scene heās either genuinely unaware of how women are meant to act (or potentially too Masculine to restrain himself) or heās just so full of contempt for Lokiās plan that he refuses to put in more than the very bare minimum.
Or Freyja is Just Like That and Thor thinks he is doing a particularly good job impersonating her - she is a war goddess after all.
Reblogging for that last addition - Iād never thought of that but now that you mention it I wholeheartedly believe it.Ā
Especially after Thor and Loki proposed that she just marry the giant, she apparently flipped out at them and they immediately had to back off likeĀ āokay nope plan B!āĀ
Thor is probably patting himself on the back for portraying Freyaās normal expression so accurately.Ā
