>and i'll be the first to admit i gloss over a lot of that stuff (rape) and i do that because it makes me incredibly uncomfortable
my fucking sides
i also watched a video of theirs about the poetic edda (because i had a passing intrest in norse mythology at the time) then i actually read the poetic edda
its voluspo, not voluspa as in her video
it also isnt the creation myth; odin calls on a wise woman (volva) to tell him the future, but first she must establish her credibility of by regailing odin with tales of his past before predicting the endtimes
she is referred to once as "the narrator", which gives the wrong impression
also she claims odins wife, frigg, objects to odin challenging vathruthnir the giant in the vathruthnismol
this is simply not the case, she simply says she'd prefer if he stayed, but doent object to him going
i'm guessing this is too make it more comedic
(a frequent problem at osp; sacrificing accuracy for "comedy")
also, she claims odin and fathruthnir have a "riddle competition", which is also not the case, they instead quiz each other on mythological lore like: "Whence came the day, | o'er mankind that fares, Or night with the narrowing moon?" i. e. wherefrom came day and night?
to which fathruthnir responds with the appropriate myth that explains their creation
in harbarthsljoth she leaves out that the ferryman is implied to be odin in disguise
there are many more nitpicks, just read the original source
