Description
I had a thought where Loki would have prophetic dreams of his binding similar to Baldur but each time he would dream them they would get more fucked up and stupid.Next up: the bindings and snake are made out of hundreds of hissing ferrets.
Also those are animal rubber bands.

Cool idea, though I feel bad for Loki. (Never have felt bad for Baldur, because I usually imagine him as a total jerk or worse.) Great work!

Thanks! I don't particularly feel bad for either of them but at the same time I sympathize with their shitty moments lol.
I imagine him to be prone to moodiness and reserved, but loyal and comfortable when with his war-faring 'brothers'. He is a traditionalist with a shitty temper which makes him an easy target to Loki... mostly when Thor's not around.
The period of time after Ragnarok would take quite a toll on him as he'd have to rebuild everything from scratch with the few remnants of his Aesir friends.

I've found some interesting takes on Baldur in modern fiction, with 'the most beloved of the Aesir' portrayed as actually being a creep, a mass murderer, or worse. And you're entirely welcome!

Oooh do you know any sources? I'm really curious about various interpretations!
I think people often do that in order to spark some contrast between his original self for shock value or whatever or in some cases to simply justify Loki killing him.

One fascinating take on Loki and Baldur and the other Norse gods can be found in C. Gockel's "I Bring the Fire" series (I believe there are seven books out). There's also "The Trickster Edda," which I found on Kindle, but which might not be there anymore (I think the author was Crystal Lynn Hibbert, or something like that). There's also the incredible series by Alis Franklin: "Liesmith: Book 1 of the Wyrd," "Stormbringer: Book 2 of the Wyrd" and "Wyrdverse: Tales of the Wyrd." If you like your gods mixed with science fiction, you should check out Lazette Gifford's "In the Shadow of Giants." And, for a different take altogether, there's Alydia Rackham's "Bauldr's Tears: A Retelling of Loki's Fate."

YES THANK YOU this is exactly what I was looking for!! I'll keep all of these in mind!
And I love my gods mixed with a dash of cyberpunk/sci-fi. Tbh that's one of my favorite things ever.
