I Am So Confused With The Ending Of Ragnarok Like If None Of The God Stuff Was Real Then What The Hell

Sygn: I have feelings for you. 

Loki: Why? What's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?

so i'm rereading mcga and literally one of the only things bothering me is the characterisation of loki. like, stop slandering him! stop slandering him!!! he's not the villain, he's not wholly bad!!! he's a morally grey character!!! stop portraying him as morally black!!! if everyone from norse mythology were getting judged as harshly as he's being judged, then everybody would be a villain. especially the gods. he's not the only one of them who's done morally questionable things!! in fact, his actions seem pretty tame compared to what others have committed- nobody talks about odin raping people, for instance!! just... leave him alone for a bit. he's done things wrong, he's massively fucked up, but so has literally everyone else in this mythology.

It's ten in the morning and I'm writing Jack angst and drawing Loki in a wedding dress

I'm being very productive :)

this is Loki

and he's talking to the World Serpent which used to be an overgrown tapeworm he was "pregnant" with and then raised in a tank inside his bedroom before he released it into the wild where it's currently growing bigger and stronger to one day kill his brother Thor because the Norwegians weren't too afraid to make their Norse Mythology show at least a little bit weird and unhinged

Laurits, this outfit is unhinged. Plaid. Stripes. Cowboy boots. I'm...

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Abedmajed’s Hope: Rebuilding Our Family’s Life in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.
