I was laughing at this meme and I was going to comment something about how Kratos got a heartwarming ending in Ragnarok. But then I realized something...
The last prophesy Mural Kratos sees in the end of the game depicts him as a beloved God, probably because he got rid of Odin and this whole game it became canon for Kratos to want to do the side quests to help the Nine realms to heal from all of the shit Odin made the realms suffer
And that got me thinking, wasn't there something about how after Ragnarok a new God (Revived Baldur) would rise to fill the role of the Main God in the poems about Ragnarok irl? I remember hearing something like that in a video about Norse myths but I am not sure
What if the ending of the game is simbolizing that? Kratos becoming the beloved god of the nine realms after the previous evil Gods died at Ragnarok?
And if that tale was meant to be a way to put the Christian God into the ending of Norse mythology, wouldn't that make Kratos the Christian God?????
Maybe I am just tired, I have been fixing my code for a revision tomorrow and I feel like I want to sleep for a whole winter, maybe I am just overthinking stuff because my sleepy ass wants to go to bed lmao

I think mythology writers are the best writers,because they have come up with the craziest shit ever,and if they were alive right now i would give them all a kiss on the cheek for their beautiful works.
Norse mythology writer: Hmmm i think i'm gonna make a chaotic guy yeah. And he can turn into various creatures and will get fucked by a horse in order to give birth to an eight legged monstrosity called sleipnir.
Greek mythology writer: Ah yes i shall create the most asshole-ish and horny motherfucker in the entirety of greece,and his dad hated him so much that he tried to eat him.
Celtic mythology writer: I sure do love cu chulainn

Does anyone else ever think that the reason there are so many greek/ norse gods was that there a bunch of different dieties and myths in local areas and some guy just said "yup all these people are in this same large place, this is all the same mythology"?

norse myths inspired starters edit as you see fit!
i promised you my head, i never said i’d give you my neck
you call me when you’re in trouble and then spit on me when i leave
why fight to the death, let’s get married instead
would you sacrifice a hand to prove you have no ill intents?
there’s nothing i wouldn’t do, nothing i wouldn’t give, to know more
there is something people want, i just keep forgetting where it is
i thought you were as harmless as a forgotten plant
perhaps if you’d loved him less, he would have lived longer
that i gave in to bring peace does not mean i’m a pacifist
it’s far too easy to rob you of the one thing you stand out for
you can’t escape fate, no matter the amount of blood you spill
i lost a child to another and the first to my hubris
i find it fascinating how people this powerful are so easy to fool
we go way back, you and i, enough that we can no longer tell how much we truly hate each other
it’s all politics and the wish to have no war, not love
you think not inviting him would have kept him from coming?
there are better people to anger than the one who likes to kill
perhaps we could use our brains for once, instead of your fists
i prefer my poetry and my love
i want no weapon, no violence, anywhere near my home and hearth
gift-giving makes for an easy way to be forgiven
sometimes a sin is the one committed without a choice: to have been born at all
ours is a truce almost as ancient as our desires, and just as fragile
your reputation is strong enough to decide your encounters for you
it must be painful, to be the one to fight for justice amidst crowds full of hubris
do you love me truly? then give up your sword and prove it

"greek-Bros": Dinner at a Friend's house
*Ares, Hermes and Dionysus go to valhalla because it's the only way that Ares can actually go inside because in an undisclosed events in the past he's banned from Valhalla and can only come in with a guest due to "Legal Reasons"*
Dionysus: Aw man, I can't wait to try some Valhallan mead.
Hermes: *knows something that Ares and Dionysus doesn't know*....mmmmhmm. Look guys, honestly, I'm not certain if it even matters. It's not like as if you'll actually get a chance to taste anything.
Dionysus: Geez Hermes, what's with the rancid vibes?
Hermes: ugh you'll see.
Dionysus: well regardless I hope they'll enjoy some wine
Ares: I honestly don't care what you guys are on about but I just want to discuss something with Tyr.
Dionysus: Is it about letting you back into that Devine Guide of War you got kicked out of?
Ares: Look I am HEAVILY against the idea of biological warfare....war should be.... PERSONAL.
Dionysus: whatever drama queen, didn't Enyo say you were kicked out because you wanted to start a cosmic level game of War Hammer?
Ares: A wasted opportunity.
Hermes: oh cool we're here.
*the three godlings are literally dwarfed by a ridiculously huge wooden door with an equally expansive wall*
Ares: neat. *punches the door as it's literally the only way to knock*
*several seconds pass and Tyr answers the door*
Tyr: ....ah... greetings Greek gods. What brings you here?
Dionysus: *showing the huge amphora* To party of course.
Hermes: ....so...ugh....we came 'just in time' right?
Ares: FOR BATTLE?
Tyr: ....no....and sadly yes.
Ares: wait 'yes' to the first or second question?
Tyr: No for battle. It is peace time.
Ares: aw.
Tyr: anyway... unfortunately....you must wait here....we shall get you shortly. *Quickly closes the door*
Dionysus:......ugh.....what just happened?
Hermes: *deep sigh, sits down and waits*
Ares: ....ugh...ok...it's probably not going to take too long.
*3hrs later*
Ares: *is currently hitting his head on the wall bored*
Dionysus: *sort of trying to get a little plant to grow but it just creates a bush* ...
Hermes: *hasn't moved*
Tyr: *opens the door* ok you may come in.
Ares: *stops* oh good I was getting tired.
Tyr: *with absolutely no waste of breath* and you wonder why you were banned from the guild.
Ares: why yah gotta go there dude?
Dionysus: oh finally! I'm getting peckish.
Tyr: ....hmmm.
Hermes: ....hmmm..
Dionysus: ugh..
Tyr: .....you didn't tell him?
Hermes: *deep sigh* no
Tyr: ....we just had dinner.
Ares: wut the da fuk man? You left our asses out here in the void and didn't let us in?
Tyr: No guests before or during dinner.
Ares and Dionysus: *completely undignified*
Hermes: yeah I kinda knew about this already, told you we should have left a little later.
Dionysus: holy shit bruh that's rude
Tyr: not as rude as coming unannounced and unexpected.
Hermes: ugh makes sense.
Dionysus: wow jeez ok dude but if yah did this with dad... he'd vaporize you or something....yah still welcome at my place tho.
Tyr: .....thank you for your.... invitation.
Ares: Bruh.
Hermes: that's the house r-
Odin: *strolls in slowly and in a low voice* Loki~magu~ why have you not invited your friends inside?
Tyr: *small bead of sweat*
Ares: ?
Dionysus: oh hello Mr.Odin sir, I brought gifts! *Shows his still full amphora*
Odin: ~ah und wonderful. Come in, the messhall is always full and open to guests.
Ares, Hermes, and Dionysus: *looks at tyr with confusion*
Loki: *changes into his real form* ....hehehehehe hehehe I can't wait to make THAT into a family tradition.
Hermes: haha *high fives Loki*
Dionysus and Ares: *wow such offended much hurt feelings*
Tyr: *walks up behind Odin* ....Ares I thought I told you to bring some of your half sister's wild venison.
Ares: yeah she said no.
Tyr: ...she still has not forgiven me for leading my hunting party through her forest?
Ares: oh my dude she's still pissed.
Dionysus: .......AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?!
Odin: *gentle paps on Dionysus's shoulder* hohoho.

Is it true that Friday the 13th was a day of veneration to Freyja before the church started associating it with the devil?
Edit: Made one mistake in the original reply; Friday is named after Frigg, not Freyja! So this is edited to fix that.
So the thing about all of these cutesy little "did you know X has pagan origins??" memes, is that pretty much all of them are basically wrong. They tend to come about because people just kind of assume that if something doesn't have a Biblical basis, then it must be a carryover from pre-Christian paganism. People have spun all kinds of conspiracy theories out of this.
Moreover, many people have attempted to find a historical basis for the allegations made during Europe's pre-Christian witch trials, proposing that accused witches were actually cryptopagans gathering in the woods to worship some pre-Christian deity. In reality, the accusations were based on what Christians of the day imagined paganism to be like based on centuries of demonization: orgiastic, violent, and ultimately satanic; as well as a full-blown mockery of Christianity. Within the logic of the witch panic, if Christians have a sacred day of worship, then witches must also have a sacred day of worship - just evil. It's important to note here that Christians believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
If we look at Wikipedia's article on the witches' sabbath, we can see that the idea of the witches' sabbath isn't extraordinarily old; in fact, it's a product of Europe's witch panic.
Also, Friday isn't named after Freyja; it's named after Frigg. And the whole claim that Freyja was worshiped on Fridays because Friday is named after her shows ignorance of the actual reason why the days are named the way they are. The whole thing actually goes back to ancient Rome. Sunday was dies Solis (day of the sun), Monday was dies Lunae (day of the moon), Tuesday was dies Martis (day of Mars), Wednesday was dies Mercurii (day of Mercury), Thursday was dies Iovis (day of Jupiter), Friday was dies Veneris (day of Venus), and Saturday was dies Saturni (day of Saturn).
The Romans, of course, were big on the idea that everybody else's gods were actually the same as their own. They associated Tyr with Mars, Odin with Mercury, and Thor with Jupiter - do you see where this is going? Friday got named after Frigg because in the Roman way of looking at things, Frigg is just the Norse version of Venus.
Finally, as far as I am aware, Freyja was never historically linked to the number thirteen, either. Every page I can find linking Freyja with the number thirteen is repeating the claim that Freyja was venerated on Fridays, and offers no explanation of why Freyja was associated with the number thirteen. If you look into myths about Freyja, you won't find her associated with thirteen of anything - and it would be very strange if you did, because the main sacred numbers in Scandinavian thinking were three and nine (three times three).
On the other hand, thirteen is an important number to Christians. Jesus plus the apostles made thirteen. The thirteen of them gathered at Passover shortly before Judas betrayed Jesus.
In conclusion, Friday the 13th has nothing to do with Freyja; this whole idea that it was historically associated with her is nothing more than a post-Christian conspiracy theory.
