Väinämöinen did not have bitches, and neither did his friend Ilmarinen.
Being a blacksmith, Ilmarinen came up with an engineering solution to the problem: he forged a woman out of metal.
The problem was that she did not speak much, and cuddling was difficult too, since her side facing the fireplace was too hot and the side facing away from the fireplace was too cold.
But hey, at least he did not complain about how women reject nice guys. Had he done so, he would have been called Incelmarinen.
NOH-NI-IN!
Väinämöinen might have had bitches, but Lönnrot might not have taken it into the story by choice, we don’t know.
Kalevala is a collection of stories Lönnrot saw fit for the creation of his epic, but the original poems that tell about the character Väinämöinen might have a lot of different stories that never made it to Kalevala.
What about Gandalf?
Jännää tietoa
Väinämöinen visits the land of the dead many times, he just takes a lessurely stroll as if its a sunday morning.
Gandalf is also Väinämöinen.
-Old wizard whose primary weapon is magic
-Forges a fellowship to go on a quest to destroy a device of power held by an evil ruler of a dark realm
-At the end of the quest sails away as a king of is crowned
They should make a movie about Väinämöinen.
Although if they did, it should NOT be made solely by a Finnish studio, because it would 100% suck.
