Line 19:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Hel
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Loki's eventual punishment and the agony he goes through. (Made worse by the fact that, originally, it was an unnamed woman who didn't cry for Baldur.)
** Also, there's something so sad about him having his lips sewn shut and all the others laughing at him. Then again, even before [[Hijacked Byby Jesus|he was turned into a Satan expy]], he was still kind of a dick, and it doesn't seem to hamper him in later myths.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Loki was, originally, a decent guy. The serfs were particularly fond of him. But after the dwarves sewed his lips shut ([[Magnificent Bastard|after he managed to trick them out of chopping his head off]]), the other Gods laughed at him, and he began to plot his revenge. He may also qualify as a [[Jerkass Woobie]] since being a [[Jerkass]] was kind of the reason his lips were sewn together in the first place?
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Helheim is ruled by a woman, and it's pretty much accepted that women end up there by default unless they actually die fighting in battle.
