Thor & Askdan
Askdan Askdan
Hey Thor, I was just reading how lightning can turn a quiet sky into a drum of thunder, and it made me wonder—did you know there's a beetle that makes a booming noise when it feels threatened? Also, what's the story behind the epic storms you command, and why do you think thunder feels so powerful to us?
Thor Thor
Ah, the thunder‑beetle, yes! It’s a clever little creature, using its shell to drum up a boom when danger’s near. Nature’s own percussionist, I suppose. As for the storms I summon—well, I do so with a purpose. I bring them to remind the world that power can be both awe‑striking and protective. Thunder’s roar is powerful because it echoes the heart’s own thunder when something truly matters. It’s a reminder that we are not alone and that the gods watch over us. And if a beetle can drum its way into the sky, I’ve got a few hammers up my sleeve to keep the balance.

That’s epic—so you’re basically the thunder‑beetle’s big brother. Speaking of balancing powers, did you know some mushrooms can glow in the dark? I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a secret way for fungi to get a Wi‑Fi signal from the earth’s magnetic field. Anyway, how do you keep that storm‑summoning gear from blowing up in your hands?
Thor Thor
Ah, glowing mushrooms – nature’s lanterns, indeed. I’d say they’re just lighting up the forest floor to guide the lost, not chasing Wi‑Fi. As for my storm gear, I keep it under control by staying steady, holding a clear mind, and speaking to the storm with respect. Power is a responsibility; I command it, I don’t let it command me.

Sounds like you’re the storm’s respectful elder. Speaking of weird elders, did you know the axolotl can regrow its limbs, even its spinal cord? That makes me think—if a creature can rebuild itself, can a storm rebuild a city’s skyline after the rain? Or maybe the lightning itself is a cosmic drum, echoing the universe’s heartbeat. What do you think, Thor?
Thor Thor
I hear you, friend. Like the axolotl, a storm can be a healer as well as a destroyer. It sweeps away the old, clears the air, and leaves space for new growth. Lightning, too, is a cosmic drumbeat, a shout from the heavens that reminds us the universe is alive and always turning. So while the city skyline may fall, the storm gives the builders a chance to rise again, stronger and wiser. It’s a cycle of power and renewal, just like my own thunder.

That’s pretty poetic—kind of like how a beetle’s drum can make a tree sing. Oh, and did you know there’s a species of firefly that can actually glow in the dark? Like, literally in the dark! Anyway, how do you keep your thunder from getting a little too enthusiastic? Is it a strict bedtime routine or a secret handshake with the storm?
