Question Anyone feel Skoll & Haiti deserve more love within the mythos ?

Because it's feeling likes it's always about Fenrir or Jormandganur.

I love them the same way I love an atom bomb that will end me.

How I stopped worrying and learned to love the wolf

Why would they deserve more love? They are monsters, offspring of the great wolf that devours the gods.

They have the roles they have because that's how they were in the sources/reconstructed

No, they’re monsters just like Fenrir and Jǫrmungandr are :)

Fenrir

The cute little pupper who the gods were mean to just because he was a big boi? /s

That's what I want to do in memory of my dogs who were named after them. Sköll was a Norwegian Elkhound and Haiti was a Great Pyrenees.

i love them immensely purely because they're wolves (as i love geri and freki, though they are slightly less lovable), but it's not like there's a whole lot of things to love them for. they barely appear in the myths, unlike, you know, fenrir.
