[”I want to see my little boiii…” “Here he comes!” “…I want to see my little boiii!”]
Sleipnir run cycle. It could be smoother, and if I get another boost of energy (because animation really requires that extra inspiration and spite) I might even shade it more thoroughly. But it’s good enough for now, and the front legs work nicely!
It must have been a pain to learn to run with that many feet. Foals are usually clumsy enough with just four.
“Grey horse” was an omen and a metaphor for death from viking age poetry to medieval ballads in the Nordic countries. Snorri specifically mentions that Sleipnir is grey, and his ability to visit Hel and take a rider there and back unharmed seems to link Sleipnir closely to death.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
