      I mean, getting tricked by your boss into going into battle on mushrooms and without armor does sound like a chud move.

      They needed OSHA to mandate safety headgear at least.

        Berserkers, as I understand, were actually more like the "champion" of their lord/jarl/chieftain/king. Less suicide squad more very capable fighter used to do duels in place of the nobleman or chief

          Given the long winters I am sure bored people ahve used it in multiple contexts. Who knows

          I do like the idea of them using a system like Ugandan Professional wrestling to solve minor trade disputes though.

      If he was a Viking he would have retired long ago and wouldn't be getting capitalist sludge poured into his brain constantly.

    Odin sucked the dicks of hanged men to collect their cum. An inspiration to us all.

      Like you wouldn't. If necromantic cumhunger is the price for prophetic powers, grab my bib.

      Yup, I thought that shit was mad cool. I liked crusader stuff as well - thought it was just a good funny and slightly surreal joke. Then I saw it get co opted by white nationalists. There are some other less well known names you could go for though - I think Freya is a really nice name.

    Well yes, but Loki is a PUSSY who uses subterfuge like those darn COMMIES at AMAZON instead of being a GOOD AMERICAN SOLDIER LIKE THOR!!!

          Comedy and woman’s autonomy? The Norse were ahead of their time.

            It is historically noted. There are records of Anglos getting mad at their wives for admiring how pretty thr norsemen were. Hair braided nice and all made up.

            It's like if gackt robbed churches you know.

              It is all over. The Icelandic sagas feature Olaf the peacock who got his title for dressing very flamboyantly. And Ibn Fadlan, after encountering Rus Vikings, talks about how the vikings were the most spectacular male specimens he has ever seen, though he complained they had bad hygiene.

    Being Danish I've read a decent amount of norse mythology and that shit is wild. The gods are born from a cow with a name that refers to a soured dairy product in modern Danish and they have children with horses and shit.
