## Synopsis

*Hey, if you wanna learn about the time Loki got in trouble for stealing Sif's hair and ended up helping create Thor's hammer, or the time he had to seduce a horse and ended up birthing Sleipnir, then you probably should've watched the actual video before reading this description because I kinda just explained it all.*

## Plot

After asking his normal question of the video this time being about what Loki does Jake Doubleyoo started the video.

Loki was the son of Farbauti and Laufey who were a family from Jotunheim, in which after a blood ritual became good friends with Odin and his family. Loki and his family loved pulling pranks on the other Asgardians which didn't always go well, for example when Loki stole Thor's wife's Sif's hair Thor threatened to break his bones unless he could get Sif's hair back. So Loki had some dwarves named the Sons of Ivaldi to make Sif some new hair and even some gifts for Odin and his wife Frey. Loki despite having made the perfect deal and almost accomplished it decided to ruin it for himself by making a deal with 2 dwarves named Brokk and Eitri that if they could make better gifts than him Brokk could chop his head off. Brokk agreed to the deal after asking Loki why he does this thing to himself which Loki did not have an answer for and just cried to himself.

Brokk and Eitri got to work with Eitri doing the forging and Brokk doing the cooling which made it easier to do the gifts, however on the last gift Loki harassed Eitri as a fly causing him to get distracted at the last moment botching the last gift. The 3 then presented their gifts, Loki presented one for Sif called I can't believe it's not Hair which is fake hair that will attached to the hosts head and will act as real hair by binding to the hosts scalp and will also grow like real hair. Odin, Frey, Thor, and Sif all liked this gift and Thor agreed to not break Loki's bones as per their deal, the second present was a spear called Gungnir for Odin. Gungnir was a spear that when thrown not only always hits and kills your enemies but comes back to you 90% of the time, Odin and Frey liked that gift but Thor was disappointed as he wanted his own.

Loki then gave a gift to Frey being that boats are hard to move around on land than in the sea where they belong, he made a fold-up boat that fits in your pocket called Skidbladner. Odin, Frey, and Thor all loved Frey's gift with Frey loving the gift more than the other 2, now it was Brokk and Eitri's turn in which the 2 presented their first gift for Odin called Draupnir which is a ring that uses quantum physics to spawn other rings of equal mass which Odin, Frey, and Thor loved much to Loki's dismay. The second gift was for Frey in which a golden bore named Gullinbursti was presented to him, this bore could run on air and water and due to an accident also had the ability to light up a dark room like a nightligh Odin, Frey, and Thor all liked this gift as well even more to Loki's dismay. The last gift which was for Thor was a hammer called Mjolnir which can be thrown and come back, is perfect for combat, and can shrink and grow and Brokk even took responsibility for the accident which made the hammer's handle a few inches short, Thor loved this gift so much he went farther than the ratings system allowed.

With all that out of the way Brokk and Eitri were easily declared the winners meaning Brokk could cut Loki's head off, Loki then tries to fly away but like Brokk said Mjolnir had perfect efficiency and knocked Loki out of the air. Brokk was about to cut Loki's head off however Loki stated that their contract only said Brokk could cut his head off not his neck, so if he got any of Loki's neck he'd be sued by Loki's lawyer. Odin, Frey, and Thor after reading the contract thoroughly agreed with what Loki said, this made Brokk mad so he used his brother Sewing Needle to sew Loki's mouth shut and then Thor went to go kill monsters. With Thor on vacation, the asgardians noticed they were dangerously unprotected from the jotuns and were at risk of an invasion, luckily a guy named Master Builder made a deal saying he'd make a wall for them for the low price of the sun, the moon, and the goddess Freyja's hand in marriage. Freyja didn't think her friends would go for it but they started discussing it when Loki came up with a plan where they give Master Builder a deadline and if he doesn't finish the wall by the deadline they get half a wall for free. Freyja tried to get a word in but they didn't allow her and gave Master Builder the deadline of the first day of that year's summer fortunately for Master Builder he had a horse named Svadilfari who was super buff and strong.

Thanks to the horse Master Builder was able to make the wall super quickly and with summer drawing near the asgardians threatened Loki's life if he didn't come up with a plan. So Loki planned to stop the wall building with seduction, when asked how he would do this with Master Builder Loki was confused on why he was asking that making the realized he had no plans on seducing him but his pet. So the next day while building Svadilfari noticed a female horse and got so distracted he ran away from Master Builder, this made it harder for him to finish the wall and soon enough summer came. This made Master Builder mad and he threatened to kill the asgardians when Thor broke all his bones with Mjolnir, Thor after saving the asgardians unintentionally made a bunch of horse puns until the asgardians told him to stop. 11-12 months later Loki came back with a baby horse named Sleipnir who had 8 legs making him able to run fast, when Sleipnir grew up Odin adopted the horse as his pet and thanked Loki for the help. Loki was grateful for Odin's thanks and promised not to betray him and then told Buldur he looked very killable.
