Elliot Stabler Was The OG SVU Detective, And TBH, We Need Him Back For These 7 Reasons

He may have been unSTABLE, but we all want him back anyway.

Ahhh, Elliot Stabler, the character that SVU fans love, hate and relate to all in one piece. While many gorgeous detectives have walked in and out of the SVU squad room, none have been quite so lovable as Stabler. And, let's be honest, the Benson/Stabler duo was UNBEATABLE!

Here are just a few of many, many reasons why we want Stabler back. (And yes, Chris Meloni being dreamy is totally a viable reason!)

1. His direct approach

Giphy

If you did it, Elliot knew it. I don't know how, he just did!

2. His partnership with Benson

Giphy

Please, as if every SVU fan ever didn't totally ship Elliot and Olivia over Elliot and his actual wife.

3. He was fighting to get the creeps off the street

Giphy

NO ONE hated these criminals more than Stabler, and no one would work harder to get them off the street and behind bars.

4. His dedication

Giphy

Going hand in hand with number three is this one. He was so dedicated to the job — he took a few bullets during his time at SVU and even went undercover in dangerous situations!

5. His inability to hide his feelings

Giphy

You always knew exactly what Stabler was thinking and feeling, and to be honest, that was pretty A-OK in the SVU. Or, at least it was A-OK for viewers!

6. His hustle

Giphy

He took the whole "work hard" thing to a whole new level.

7. He's a great friend

Giphy

He was always there for his squad members — even when they had creative differences. Now, they just get in trouble and nearly die because there's no Stabler to the rescue!

Need I say more? As great as all these other detectives are, they'll never beat Stabler! He can take some getting used to, but once he captures your heart, there's no going back. Trust me.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
