Odin, Kvasir, Mead of Poetry, idk I'm tired.*

## Plot

After asking his normal question for the video which being that this isn't the first episode of a new series Jake Doubleyoo asked about the topic being poetry.

The Asgardian gods had next door neighbors in a location called Vanaheim, these neighbors being Njord and his 2 kids Frey and Freyja. There were most likely more gods in the Vanaheim but vikings were really bad at righting stuff down so Jake made some original gods to fill in the blanks. Anyway the asgardians and vanaheim people got into an argument and then a war which ended in a truce where they spat into a bucket. Not wanting their spit to go to waste they carved it into a dude named Kvasir, Kvasir was a genius who could answer everyone's questions. Kvasir then went around the world helping everyone he could when he met 2 dwarves named Fjalar and Galar who tricked him into telling them his weak spot so they could kill him.

The 2 then turned Kvasir's blood into beer which they stored in kegs, upon drinking the beer they discovered they now had the ability to be poetic. Meanwhile the asgardians were searching for Kvasir and so Odin asked the dwarves if they had seen him to which they told him that Kvasir was dead in the form of a poem which made Odin suspicious. So they now had 2 choices run away to Jotunheim or confess to Odin and possible die they chose the first option and killed a couple of jotnar named Gillin and his wife. When their son Suttung came home and discovered this he opted to get revenge by trapping the dwavres on a rock so they'd drown when the tide came in. However the dwarves opted to give away their beer in exchanged for the dwarves lives and hid it under a mountain for his daughter Gunnlod guard it. Odin eventually caught word of this and so went to Suttung's brother Baugi's house and after tricking all his workers into dismembering each other got himself hired by Baugi under the name Bolverk which worked because Baugi no longer had any workers.

After 9 months of work Baugi asked what minimum wage was for a worker in norse times, to which Odin/Bolverk lied and told him it was a sip from 3 kegs of poetry beer. So Baugi being the fair boss that he is asked his brother Suttung for the beer but he refused so him and Odin opted to steal it by breaking into the mountain which as soon as Baugi opened it Odin jumped in without him. Upon seeing that Gunnlod was guarding it he pretended to date her to make her vulnerable enough to let him drink the beer and then flew away, Suttung tries to go after him but he defended himself by pooping in Suttung's face and then puked all the beer into vats which he uses every once in a while to make poets what they are.
