“But you’re a god, what do you need with a career?” Thor stroked his beard plait, which he probably was not aware had a few beads braided through it. “That’s a good question, but I know the answer because we did this in circle time, after my breakdown. Gods have god-sized egos, so we need a lot of love to stay healthy. You see those gods going around blighting crops and drying up rivers? Those guys don’t get loved. It’s a cycle, you know. You have no idea how depressed gods can get. One minute we’re adored, the next despised, I’ve been in the troughs, believe me.”
