𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐘𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐁𝐎𝐀𝐑𝐃: Princess Sigyn of Asgard (MCU)

𝙿𝙻𝙴𝙰𝚂𝙴 𝙽𝙾𝚃𝙴: Sigyn has yet to appear in the MCU. This is strictly my version/headcanon of if she was a part of the MCU, with inspiration of what we know of her in Norse Mythology & Marvel Comics.

𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐘𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐁𝐎𝐀𝐑𝐃: Norse Mythology

In Norse mythology, Sigyn is an ásynja goddess, her parents are unknown, but it is generally believed that her ancestry is the Aesir. She is the goddess of Loyalty, Faithfulness & Compassion. Due to the fragmentary nature of the primary sources for Norse mythology, only one scrap of lore regarding Sigyn survives that gives any indication of her personality and mythological roles, the tale of Loki’s punishment for killing Baldr. In that tale, when the Gods captured Loki, they turned one of his sons, Vali, into a wolf. The wolf then ripped apart his brother Narfi. The boy’s entrails hardened into an iron chain, and the Gods used this grotesque fetter to bind Loki in a cave deep beneath the earth. The Gods also placed a snake above Loki that would drip venom onto his head. Like a model of a traditional and dutiful wife, Sigyn sat by Loki’s side with a bowl to catch the drops of snake venom so that they wouldn’t touch her husband’s head. Every so often, however, she would have to leave the cave to pour out the bowl. In her absence, a few drops of poisonous venom would fall onto Loki’s forehead. This caused him to writhe in agony, which in turn caused earthquakes on the surface of Midgard, the world of humans. Sigyn’s story is also one of victory; victory over wrenching circumstances, pain, loss, despair, and anguish. She chooses to endure, and by doing so, she triumphs. As Fuensanta Arismendi, an ardent Sigyn’s woman once said, “Sigyn’s strength is in her heart. Her heart is invincible.”

Still looking for more, but unfortunately, as you know, the majority of Norse mythology retellings are very anti-Sigyn/Logyn ^^'

Let's keep hope, though :)

If I ever do find good stuff, I'll update the list! :)

The XIV Arcana - Temperance. Pregnant Sigyn 😌

Hey, look at me synchronizing card numbers and post dates. Werk slay

[sigynappreciation]

I am done. I drawed my own version of Sigyn, how she should look in the Marvel-Comics. I gave her a long skirt, but more practicable and not so long she falls over her feed while fighting. I´ll use her to draw my own Comic, an Marvel-Alternative, where she get toegether with Loki. Her Hair is darker, curly und she´s frekles. But she keep her blonde hair, because her Mythology origin has blonde hair and not black. I tried to make her an outfit that looks like a Valkyrie. I hope you guys like it.

Sigyn in the comics adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Norse mythology book

(I kinda hate that they won’t even let the bowl thing be her idea… nope. The gods asked her to bring the bowl… she picks it up though, and it’s still her choice, but… *sighs* Come on, Mr Gaiman, leave her some agenda, pretty please? )

Sigyn haters : OMG Sigyn is so boring. She is such a doormat, Princess Classic, Mary Sue, self insert and she isn't worth our time and not a real goddess and.....

Sigyn fans : OMG Sigyn is so wonderful. We love her. She is the NORSE GODDESS OF FIDELITY AND VICTORY and she is a kickass valkyrie/warrior and sorceress, and she basically is a girly warrior and she kicks butt while wearing pink and braids. And she is the light and constancy in Loki's life. AND SHE STOOD BY LOKI IN RAGNAROK IN THE MYTHS WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID AND SHE HELD HER SHIELD AGAINST THE BIG SERPENT'S VENOM AND SHE WILLINGLY VOLUNTEERED TO DO SO ESPECIALLY AFTER HER 2 SONS DIED IN RAGNAROK IN NORSE MYTHS AND.....
