I would have the same reaction as Loki.
Period blood is gross, and Thor...he's something special if he an fuckin' wade through it without vomiting.

In the original rendition, she urinates into the VΓmur River, one of the largest and oldest rivers, still around from the creation era. She urinates in it, causing it to overflow, because she's a giantess. Thor, of course, is half giant, so he picks up a boulder and slings it with such force and precision that it hits her 'at the source' and kills her.Β
Artistic licensing is certainly at play here, and period blood doesn't flow fast enough to overflow a river. Unless she sneezes, but that wasn't mentioned. So. Pee.
Low class, low brow, and, yet, she was one of the nine mothers of Heimdallr. But, Heimdallr fathered the classes, and now we know why. He had some really classy moms, and some really uncouth moms that you'd see on Jerry Springer.
And now we know, and knowing is fifty percent of the battle (the other half is twenty-five percent red lasers, and twenty-five percent blue lasers).

I still don't get why he didn't just use his shoes that walk on air to walk above the river, did he forget his shoes or something? XD

Thor is half giant. His mother was a giantess, Jorth (yerth), and she loved Midgard and its people. This is likely why Thor protects Earth ... because it's named after mom, and because mom really cared about it. But, yeah, Thor is half giant. That's why he's so big.
However!!Β Loki is supposed to be full-born giant. Laufey (his mom) was a giant. And she was pretty badass, so Loki took her name as his surname (Laufeyjarson). His dad, FΓ‘rbauti, was also a giant.
However, Loki could change his size, his stature, his sex/gender, and his species at will. Not sure why he didn't become a giant condor and just fly them over the river. I mean, he can turn into a flea, a seal, a mare (he's the mother of Slepinir), a fox, and many other things. He turns into an old woman named "Thakk" (Thanks, but in a deeply sarcastic way, like 'thanks-a-f**king-lot!'), to ensure that Balder stays dead with Hel (Loki's daughter).Β But anyway.
Let's assume that Loki shrank down to make things easier for Thor to carry him, lol. If I was Thor, I know I'd appreciate carrying a SMALL 'giant' on my back.Β Jotnar / Jotunn-kind are NOT small by any means, lol. I mean, look at Gjalp. She's so big that she can flood a river by peeing in it. Weird.
Anywho.

Last day was so exhausting but then I saw your drawing and it made me happy! Your works are so funny and optimistic in some way because you always choose the myths that end well and I don't think anymore about my shitty day and about sad ending of those stories
I love Thor. He himself tries to be so manly and brave but still he loves his friend so much that he doesn't care that Loki here is such a pussy, afraid to cross the water.Thor just grabs him and holds like a caring mother <3 Also, Loki looks so vulnerable! Nice

I love Loki's frightened face and the nervous face on the squirrel! Oh and the little mouse with his leaf boat is such a clever touch!
