I bet he’s wishing he was in a nice, cozy mine right about now.

I sure hope that’s the perspective angle of her approach & she’s not directly behind him…

She is indeed directly behind him. But not behind his behavior. He’s about to become very aware of his behind.

Tyr´s wife is a giantess.

She is the shortest giant in her family…but dont say that out loud…she is very sensitive to that sort of thing..

I feel a flat Tyr coming on.

I wonder if Tyr’s wife sings.

Uf da! (That’s Norse for “Oy vey!”)

“She’s actual size but she seems much larger to me.”

I’m about 5’ 5” any lady that’s taller than me I’d avoid thank you

The jǫtunar, also called þursar, are not necessarily of great size. Most of the ones who play significant roles in the eddas and tales are of generally human proportions. Others are of great size (on one occasion, Þórr and his companions spent the night in what they thought was a cave, but was actually a giant’s glove) or monstrous in form. Those of the jǫtunar who mated with the Æsir were alike enough in form to be able to cross-breed.

On the other hand, only one item in Old Norse literature mentions Týr having a consort or a wife (the Lokasenna).
