#WIPSnips A very short excerpt this time. Freya has been meddling with love lives of those who dared to cross her. If you know Norse lore, you know how this ends for poor Angrboda…

#WIPSnips Today is less funny than usual. Angrboda is giving birth to Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent, whose father is Loki because of course it's Loki.

First record you bought?

Madonna, True Blue. A classic to this day. My first vinyl. If the question was 'first recording' or something like that I'd have to admit what my first cassette tape was, and it was noticeably less cool.

#WIPSnips Today, things get serious, as Freya uses her nuclear lovebomb. This isn’t as romantic as you’d think and leads to births of Loki’s three monstrous children. Love, eh?
