Father of men; gautr of men; allfather; the aged gautr; delight of Frigg; eagle head; attacking rider; lord of Æsir; friend of wealth; enemy of the wolf; baldr's father; flaming eye; speak shaker, flashing eye and etc are but a few of Odin's many epithets. Father of Thor, Baldr ou Meili, Höðr, Heimdallr, Vali, Hermóðr, Hildólfr, Nepr, Sigi, Sigrlami, Skjöldr, Ítreksjóð, Sæmingr, Gauti, Vegdagr, Viglek, Winta, Casere, Saxnōt and many more, he is as old as is wise and as wise as he is power-hunger.
Son of Borr, he and his brother's Vili and Vé were the ones that slayed Ymir and from his body, created Asgard, Midgard and some other realms as well. With the flood that came with Ymir's death, Odin was also the indirect killer of hundreds of other giants in the great flood. With the Earth deity he'd created with a part of Ymir's flesh, he had Thor. With the tides, he had Heimdallr. With Frigg/Freyja, he had Baldr and Höðr. With Gríðr he had Váli and Víðarr and some many more with countless women.
With his hunger for power and knowledge, he gave his hunger for meat in exchange for two of Veðrfölnir's children Huginn and Muninn so he could be updated from the realms of everything; he exchanged of one of his eyes to drink from Mímisbrunnr; he stole from Suttungr's kingdom the mead of poetry and tricked Gunnlöð, who was guarding the mead into letting him take a sip from each night he spent with her. Three nights were spent and three sips he took, but each sip he took, each one of the three barrels he emptied and left the kingdom, leaving Gunnlöð bearing his child. These were only few of his countless stories after knowledge and power and maybe more will come in the future >:) but only future will tell.
He is designed at last!!! Dang I wanted so much to redesign Odin and he finally looks more overbearing, along his spear that looks way more powerful now, but he is not the last god that will be redesigned so keep in touch with my posts and even P4TR30N for exclusive and early content >:D
Ok sorry but I'm gonna weeb out a little bit. I've been thinking about making a post like this for a few days now so bear with me.
Symphogear Spoilers below.

You know what I love most about Symphogear? You have an entirely selfless main character who uses their trauma and hardship as growth so others don't have to feel the same pain.
The only one of two survivors from a concert event turned tragedy, bullied by her peers and filled with survivors guilt, she adapts the term "Heiki, Hecchara" or "It's alright, I'll be fine." A term she learns from her - admittedly deadbeat- dad that gives her the motivation to move forward during times of hardship.
For 4 seasons, over and over, Hibiki is reaching out and trying to listen to her enemy's needs. In the very beginning of the show, she realizes that her Gungnir, being only her fists, also allows her to hold hands with those around her. That is her Armed Gear - not a missile, or a sword, or a scythe - but the ability to hold hands with anyone. [pix 1-3]
Then at the end of the show, she realizes that, for once in her life, it's okay for her to be just a tiny bit selfish.
Hibiki saves Miku from Shem-Ha not to save the world or even to save her friends, but because she loves her and needs her sunshine. The outcome is still the same but the motivation is full of such love and beauty this way. [pix 4-5]
It's so lovely to see selfless characters learning to be selfish from time to time. It's okay to reach out and grab for what you want.
Especially if what you want is a good and meaningful relationship with someone you hold incredibly dear to you.
Okay really long post just to say that symphogear is really gay at its core and I love it so much 🥲
This is another reminder that I'll never forgive Marvel for cutting this scene.
Loki wasn't some monster with a grand plan, he was a man who found out his entire family had lied to him his entire life and handled it badly. That didn't make him a villain.
The video guide below is designed for Windows 11. I'm not sure how it works with prior versions of Windows or Mac.
I'm inclined to make more weapon-based cursors, like Skuld's sword, Zato's spear, Mani's doll, or Lif's eye-like thingy (?) but I'm not sure whether I'll have the time.
