I love how in the Lokasenna half the time the gods don’t even deny the accusations thrown at them, just give a responding insult. Like
“You’re a filthy coward who only cares about sex!”
“Ha ha, you got me there, but, I mean, so are you.”
Odin: “you had sex as a woman!”
Loki: “so did you. I remember when..”
Frigga:” TOO MUCH INFORMATION! what’s in the past it’s in the past”And then Loki: Shut up! You cheated on Odin!
Frigga: And you killed my child. So. Yeah.
Loki: You slept with your brother!
Freyja: You slept with a horse… what’s your point? Is this a contest? Did I win?
Sif: ok surely I am the only one here who you won’t insult because I’ve never done a single shitty thing ever
Loki:
Loki: you are aware we totally banged, right?
Sif: SHIT, I forgot!Beyla: I think I hear Thor coming to kick your áss.
Loki: I have taken this into deep consideration and have decided that you’re dirty and I don’t care.
Lokasenna, the Awkward Thanksgiving Fight of the Aesir.
That is the best description of the Lokasenna I have ever heard.
Loki is Odinn’s oath-brother and he’s drunk in the Lokasenna.
Which means that Loki is literally that relative that gets drunk and makes a scene at the family reunion.
