#this had been bugging me for yearssssss

[a-sad-mage]

I joked about this in one of HC post, but-

WHY IS LOKI'S NAME LOKI????

Am I tripping? Has the sleep deprivation finally gotten to me? AM I MISSING CONTEXT?!

Why, did Twist name his Slug, after the Norse God of Tricks?

did Norse Mythology just, survive all these years with the Surface and Slugterra being separated? Who's to say Greek Mythology didn't as well-

Was this just, and oversight? A funny little jab for viewers who knew, and used it as subtle foreshadowing???

Either way, Twist knows who Loki is and what that name means with enough context to name his Thugglet, an Illusion slug, after the Norse God

And, I just- uhhh????

I have, questions-

So, uh I think, provided we follow the HC that the Surface and Slugterra where once more openly connected, stories of mythology were left scattered and fragmented across the Caverns when the two worlds became separated. But because it's witen in old language's, with very few modern translations, the Mythology meshes together, and the Slugterrian Historians inadvertently made their own Mythology using the information they where able to translate and pull some context out of.

So, think the tail of the rise of Olympus, but make it underground? Or alternatively, tie it back to the 'Burning World' or something-
