00:00:00.000Honestly, even from that very beginning, early period, it was always, for me, I was immediately interested in connecting and building a relationship with Lord Thor.
00:00:13.380I know that's a pretty popular answer, right?
00:00:16.480But that's just what called me home, so to speak.
00:00:20.040I don't know if there's a better way to put that.
00:00:22.460And the many different layers of who Thor is.
00:00:27.000you know obviously he is essentially the champion of the ice here right he is the strong one he is
00:00:33.960the one who takes chaos and restores it to order and beats that back and keeps that at bay and i
00:00:40.300identified with that very much so but then the more i thought about it and delved into that
00:00:47.660there's so many layers to it and i know this is something that gothi mayo likes to talk about
00:00:53.360the epithets of Lord Thor, some of the kennings, right, of him being deep-souled. There's also
00:01:00.680an example in one of the sagas, I believe it involves the berserker Starkathur,0.72
00:01:07.380and, you know, he's an Odin's man, of course, but due to his half-Yotun ancestry,
00:01:16.220Thor and Odin were actually kind of going back and forth where Odin was blessing him,
00:01:21.040and thor was trading each blessing with a curse or a limiting factor right and and one of them
00:01:28.160was that lord odin blessed stark author with beautiful poetry but thor's counter curse so
00:01:35.360to speak was that he would never remember it as soon as he spoke it so at least to me what that
00:01:42.120implied right at least from a lore standpoint was that not only does lord thor guard the boundaries
