More thoughts on colliding with trickster god

1. Clashing Personalities and Domains

Trickster gods often embody chaos, mischief, and subversion of order, but their individual traits and motives can differ wildly. Imagine:

One is a shape-shifting master of disguise who revels in personal pranks and irony.

The other is a mastermind, plotting elaborate societal upheavals or ironic justice.

Their collisions might reflect the tension between their styles. For instance, one might favor chaotic spontaneity, while the other insists on careful planning—even for their pranks.

2. Cosmic Implications

What happens when two trickster gods go head-to-head? Their interactions might ripple across dimensions, creating unpredictable effects:

Sudden shifts in the laws of physics.

Unintended alliances among mortals forced to navigate their pranks.

Temporal distortions—one god rewrites history to win, and the other counters by pulling future knowledge into the present.

3. Collateral Damage

Their tricks could escalate into massive, surreal events affecting the world or pantheon:

Entire cities wake up one day with a new language or flipped geography.

Reality itself takes on cartoonish qualities, with exaggerated physics or comedic tropes.

Mortal champions are pulled into their antics, and forced to play out absurd scenarios to appease one or both gods.

4. Unlikely Alliances

What happens if their rivalry becomes so intense it unites other gods or forces to oppose them? Trickster gods are rarely outright villains, but their antics could inadvertently endanger cosmic stability.

A coalition of gods might strike a deal to contain the chaos.

Mortals may rise as heroes to exploit the tricksters' one common weakness—pride.

5. Philosophical Subtext

Trickster gods often challenge notions of order and meaning. A collision might explore deeper themes:

The value of chaos versus stability.

The nature of truth when everything is subject to manipulation.

Whether their mischief is inherently harmful or a necessary catalyst for change.

6. A Trick Too Far

Both trickster gods might craft a shared "ultimate prank," only to lose control when it spirals beyond their intentions.

A magical artifact they create to outwit each other gains sentience and starts rewriting reality.

Their rivalry inadvertently awakens an ancient force—one even they can't manipulate.

7. Humorous or Tragic Endings

Depending on the tone, their collision could end:

In mutual respect: They prank each other into a stalemate and declare a truce, perhaps even becoming unlikely allies.

In ironic tragedy: Their tricks undo them, leaving mortals to clean up the mess.

In eternal chaos: Their clash becomes an ongoing feature of the world, a constant battle of wits.

The concept of Coyote and the Council combined with colliding trickster gods offers a fascinating setting where divine mischief, cosmic politics, and cultural myths intersect. Here are some ideas to expand on this premise:

1. The Premise

Coyote, the quintessential trickster from Indigenous myths, is summoned before a divine council—an assembly of deities, spirits, or cosmic entities tasked with maintaining balance. The council accuses Coyote of pushing their tricks too far, destabilizing the cosmic order. However, this isn’t just a disciplinary hearing. Unknown to the council, Coyote has provoked another trickster god (or gods), and their chaotic influence is spilling over into realms the council oversees.

2. The Council of Gods

The council itself could be a mix of order-keeping and mischievous figures.

Order-aligned gods: Zeus, Osiris, or Vishnu might seek balance and restoration of cosmic laws.

Chaotic sympathizers: Loki, Anansi, or Eris might defend Coyote’s actions—or secretly stoke the chaos for their amusement.

The interplay between council members could echo the chaotic themes of the trickster gods, with arguments devolving into absurd or humorous scenarios.
