#Freya Fenris

[dio-icarticaae]

Recently rewatched Star Wars Resistance Season 2 Episode 3, "Live Fire", and it's such a good demonstration of all the various kinds of pilots in Resistance and how good the show is at illustrating the difference between them. There's subtle difference between all of the pilots of course, but there's two main really glaring distinctions: First Order vs Resistance/non First Order pilots, and Yeager & Kaz vs the Aces.

The difference between Yeager & Kaz and the Aces is really fascinating and also officially spells out one of the best subtle details in Resistance - Kaz is not as good at racing because of his combat pilot background that he still uses. Kaz struggles with racing flying throughout the show because he isn't a racer or thinking like a racing pilot - he's a combat pilot and he flies like one and thinks like one. And in reverse, the Aces aren't good in combat because In a race, every ace is capable of beating him handily. In a combat scenario? Kaz and Yeager pick them off effortlessly because that the kind of piloting they are best at and have been taught. Kaz loses races all the time, but in situations like in the first season fighting the sea monster? Kaz is clearly far more at ease with flying in that situation than the Aces. And the race later in the season 2? Kaz wins that not only because of the knowledge gained about the course through watching the Aces fail to go through it, but also because what with the mines, being shot at, etc., it's more of a combat situation and that's what Kaz is good at.

Sidenote - I always find it fun that Griff is the one who is most apprehensive about their chances in the training exercise. It makes sense; having been in the Empire he's well aware of what Rebellion pilots were capable of working together and he knows this will not end well for the Aces.

A minor addition to that is the difference between Yeager and Kaz as pilots is one of experience and leadership skills. Yeager's a Rebellion veteran, and you can tell - he's comfortable with being in command and giving orders to his fellow pilots in a way that Kaz isn't. He's also a little more adaptable to strange circumstances such as a giant creature trying to eat them - he saw a lot of wild things during the Rebellion so he's (less) phased than Kaz. Yeager as a pilot is who Kaz could be in the future.

The other main difference in pilots is, of course, the difference in how the First Order treats its pilots in training and how the Resistance/literally everyone else does and "Live Fire" does a great job of showing those. Yeager is so matter of fact when says of course they're not going to use live fire on each other. For the Aces, it's a given that they wouldn't be practicing with live fire because why would they? One of them could get hurt/their ship could get destroyed and that would not be good. And what's really to be gained from it?

In contrast, the First Order doesn't care if they lose a trainee in an exercise because of "friendly" fire - in fact that's preferable through some kind of "survival of the fittest" mindset. Tam preventing Rucklin's TIE from crashing into the Star Destroyer bridge also prevents a possible catastrophe and shows that she's a good pilot with good leadership skills - but because she shows compassion she loses squad leader.

Tam doesn't fit in the First Order survival of the fittest mold and it's a very early indication that Tam will leave the First Order - she's not like them and she could never be because her first instinct is to help her fellow pilots instead of leave them for dead, and that makes her a better person and pilot than any of them could ever be.

"Live Fire" does a great job of showing all of this and that's definitely a part of why it's one of my favorite Resistance episodes!

Women of Star Wars (34 ABY edition)

This is the third and probably last in this series (apart from some follow-ups and smaller groups that may appear in due course), marking the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Lady with another lot of amazing female/feminine-programmed characters from a galaxy far, far away.

[Design notes: all traced either from Googled pictures (Rey, Rose, Kaydel, Maz, Zorii, Jannah, Torra, Freya and CB-23) or screenshots with Googled pictures or close-up screenshots used to get the faces vaguely right (everyone else, apart from Paige, for whom I had to splice two different shots together, hence the weird proportions). Colour strangeness can be blamed on the lighting of the original shots; I don't know how to compensate for that yet.]

Just horny posting for all the fenhawke lovers

[artemis-potnia-theron]

How I perceive different deities' energies: (pt. 2)

(based on personal experiences)

Bast 🐈‍⬛: Velvet. Roses. Incense. Aloe vera. Coconut milk. An enchanted vapor that fills the room like a fog, and suddenly its like I've known you for centuries. Light footsteps against wood floor. The humid steam of a sauna. Hot rocks against skin. An abundance of flowers; bouquets from the soul. Black mirrors and purple cystals.

Skadi 🗻: Breathing in winter air. Sharp and crisp within my lungs. Goose bumps. Cloud puffs of breath on a frigid morning. Wolves calling to each other. Dandelions. The whirl of an arrow loosed from its bow. Freshly fallen snow. Thick boots. Leather.

Fenrir 🐺: Righteous fury. Red behind the eyes. A pounding in my chest. An ancient drumb beat. Raw, red meat. Satiated hunger. An ache in my legs like I've been sprinting for a lifetime. Bone shards. The rage of the wronged. A long-fought battle. Bittersweet victory.

Freyja 🏵: My aunt's house. Plush fabric. A banquet. Cherry wine. Waves of gold. A concealed dagger. Calla lilies. Tough love and long embraces. Embroidered silk tapestries. A jewel encrusted mirror. Rosemary. Sun-catchers. Lace.

Kybele 🦁: Mountain mist. Echoing laughter. A voice that sings from somewhere just over the horizon. Dawn breaking. Roasted meat. Whiskey. Frenized dance at dusk. Breathing hard, almost panting. A sting. A balm. Cornflower. Daisies. Queen Anne's lace.

Inanna 🌟: A blue, purple light somewhere in the night. The brightest star in the sky. A river that flows between her and I and you and waves of souls that came before us. A beckoning song and a voice that comes from the heavens. An rare orchid.

Demeter 🌾: Divine rage and divine love. Wind through fields of wheat. Sun-dried tomatoes. Corn boiling in the pot. Hot summer wind. Dried grass. Being carried to my room as a child while I fell asleep. A sweet ache. A mother's touch. Trust, and a torrent of fury when that trust is broken.

Ereshkigal 🦉: Damp earth. Echoes. Owl talons. Quiet as a tomb and breathless whispers. A fluttering of wings in pitch black. Something dancing at the corner of my eye. Strength. Peace. Sterness. Beauty like the cosmos. She demands respect from every tounge.

Persephone 🥀: A funeral shroud. Bioluminescent fungi. Sweet, overripe fruit. Flowers growing from a corpse. Bones in bird nests. A hand clasping mine in the night. The smell of rain. Learning to live with my grief. A fate I no longer run from.

Cailleach Bheur ❄️: Fennel tea. Blizzard air. A lit cabin hearth while the storm rages outside. An heirloom quilt over my shoulders. Quiet. Contemplative. Resolutely austere. She knows all the answers, but she will have her silence. Burning coals. Shepherd's pie. Baked nuts. Glowing silver.

@moonxshadowx​ Freya to Fenris

She wasn’t exactly planning on spending her night like this, walking through a graveyard as she cradled the stray cat in her arms. But Freya always often found herself distracted, one of the few exceptions was when it was important to her maker or his family. Fangs extended the moment she felt the other vampire’s presence, her speed taking her to him and tackling him to the ground with strength and speed she knew he couldn’t match. Her lips curved into a smile before her gaze shot from the vampire under her to the sound of the small meow from where she left the cat she had been holding. And in a flash she had returned to pick it up, giving a small little hum. “I think I’m going to name her Ophelia,” she said looking back over her shoulder at Fenris, “Or maybe even Miss Edith the second.”

Breaking SJM news: a completely new series is (likely) on the way !!

Last night, I came across a veryyyy interesting YouTube video posted by Bloomsbury 4 weeks ago. Although the video was mostly super boring (talking numbers and finances), towards the end, we get this little nugget of information...

[Bloomsbury staff member]: "Regarding the timeline and future Sarah J Maas book releases, which are obviously very important to us... so her next title, which is the third in her Crescent City series, comes out on the 30th of January, 2024. So, that will fall into this financial year."

[Bloomsbury staff member]: "And thereafter, we have SIX further contracted titles -- so continuing this series, and STARTING A NEW SERIES AS WELL."

A new series! This likely goes hand-in-hand with the announcement made by Bloomsbury a couple of months prior, in which they stated that 4 additional SJM books were on the way (but curiously, no further details about these books were given...)

Although we don't know for sure, this is my guess as to what these 6 future SJM books are:

2 x ACOTAR books.

Then the 4 remaining, newly contracted books; the first being the final Crescent City book, House of Many Waters.

Leaving 3 x books for the new series (which makes perfect sense, as when starting a new series, SJM is always contracted for 3 books initially).

The question remains as to what exactly this new series may be. Which leads me to... Twilight of the Gods.

[SJM universe spoilers ahead!]

Back in 2015, SJM started a Pinterest board for 2 new book series that were connected in some way; one was Crescent City, and the other was called Twilight of the Gods. 

On her Twitter, SJM also mentioned that she had been working on both for quite a while, and that it was soon time to release them into the world.

Around the same time, a series called 'Twilight of the Gods' was mysteriously added to SJM's official Goodreads catalogue.

'Twilight of the Gods' is another term for Ragnarok; a famed tale of Norse mythology where the Gods and giants/demons across all worlds joined together to fight a giant battle that signified the end of the world.

Thus, I believe that 'Twilight of the Gods' is SJM's next series; it will be a Ragnarok retelling, and all of the characters from TOG, ACOTAR and CC will join together for a cataclysmic battle against the Asteri, the Daglan, and the Valg (because lets not forget that Orcus and Mantyx are still unaccounted for...).

With this in mind, consider the numerous references to Norse mythology that SJM has already scattered throughout her books:

Feyre as Freya: Freya was perhaps one of the most renowned Norse goddesses, and was Queen.

Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn as the Valkyries: An obvious one, but the Valkyries originated from, and had a huge part to play in Norse Mythology (Ragnarok especially).

Lucien as Loki: According to Norse mythology, Loki is often depicted with long, red hair. He is also seen as a God of fire, and is commonly associated with foxes.

Danika (Fendyr) and Fenrys as Fenrir: Fenrir was a renowned monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. Fenrir being 'unleashed' is one of the key events of Ragnarok.

Hunt as Thor ('Thurr'): During Ragnarok, Thor has a famous battle against the 'Midgard Serpent.' Consider the snake that Hunt is holding on the cover of HOSAB. 

Midgard: is the 'Earth' world in Norse mythology.

Hel (spelt the same way): Is the 'underworld' of Norse mythology.

Further, if you looked at SJM's "Twilight of the Gods" Pinterest board - before it was deleted - you'd see countless images of (Lady?) Thor, the Valkyries, Sailor Moon, and even the coffin that Maeve locked Aelin in... (that can't be a coincidence, right..?!) Some examples below:

'Twilight' is also another word for 'Dusk'; considering the lost Dusk Court, and 'Dusk's Truth' (both of which are the centre of the upcoming crossover and broader multiversal narrative...) it matches up perfectly.

Thus, I believe that the remaining ACOTAR and CC books will continue to add to the multiverse, bit by bit. And whilst they can still be read in a standalone fashion, my guess is that they will build up to a grand finale (perhaps the very last ACOTAR book will end with Aelin walking through a portal...?) and then Twilight of the Gods will begin.

If you thought Kingdom of Ash was epic... then Twilight of the Gods -- if correct -- is bound to blow us away (and, it might even put SJM's name in the history books).

[caius-hhhhhh]

As promised, I’ve gone and stuck my shelved but still finished chapter of a Blitzstone fic on AO3 because… that’s literally what it’s for. It’s the origin story of how Hearthstone fell to Nidavellir and how Blitzen learned ASL. 5,349 words, originally completed in late December 2023.

Blitzstone nation, my darlings, my dearests: I’m passing through but not super active in your fandom. I hope you like my contribution.

My regular followers, number one you should read Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. But if you haven’t and want to read this anyway? I’ve included a handy summary containing pertinent information below the cut <3

Yes, the name Blitz has some overlap. They have nothing in common. This Blitzen is a dwarf. Dwarves turn to stone when they are exposed to sunlight. This process can be reversed by submerging the statues in water. Their world (one of the nine in Norse mythology) is completely underground. Dwarves are revered for their ability to craft exceptional items. Canon doesn’t expand upon this, so I’ve invented the idea that Svartalves (singular Svartalf, it means “dark elf”. Yes, this character is Black. Yes, that’s jank as hell.) are a different race of dwarves with a distinct culture from Nidavellir dwarves. “Svartalf Mart” is a canon location, but I’m not actually sure if the equivalent is supposed to be “Asian Market” or “Human Store”.

Midgard is the world of humans. Most Norse creatures can travel between the nine worlds, although such travel is not always advisable.

Elves are creatures of light. Their world, Alfheim, is made of sunlight; because Frey is the patron god of Alfheim they have safe haven in his sister Freya’s world, Folkvanger.

This is not revealed in my work: Hearthstone has been severely abused by his family. They have shamed him for being Deaf, refused to learn ASL, and made him believe that his basic wants and needs like food and shelter were transactional. There is a moment in my fic where Hearthstone is given some coffee — he has never been given that privilege before. Luckily canon goes about showing this in a really hyperbolic manner that, to me at least, avoided being triggering by being so exaggeratedly Evil. (If you’re interested in reading MCGA but this subject is difficult for you, please, DM me: I’ll provide you with more detail and context. I did not find it hard to read, but you may.)

Near the end of the fic, Blitzen references Gleipnir: this is the divine rope that binds Loki’s son Fenris Wolf, who will swallow the moon at Ragnarok. His confinement is essential to preventing the worlds’ destruction.

If I’ve done my job correctly you should be able to intuit the majority of other information from either the work itself or your likely knowledge of Tolkien. (I, actually, had to get a lecture from my close associate SpaceWall as I don’t read LOTR.) Although it’s safe to bet that if you don’t know what a word is referring to, it’s more likely a reference to fibre arts.

Four Years - Fenrys Moonbeam

Y/N and Fenrys had an on again off again relationship from the moment they met in Skull's Bay until the end of the war when she disappeared, four years later he finds her and his peace.

W/C: 2K

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Y/N?" You froze, you'd know that voice anywhere, Fenrys. The male that owned more of you than he was even aware of. Your heart kicked in your chest as you scanned the windows of your little cottage before turning to face him. "Hello, Fenrys." His face broke out into that dazzling smile of his as he rushed towards you, sweeping you into his arms and spinning you around. "I can't believe I found you." He breathed into your hair. "You've been this close the whole time." You cringed. "You've been looking for me?" You asked him, praying the cottage door stayed closed. "Of course I have, since the moment I knew you'd left." You studied his face. "Four years? You've been looking for me for four years?" You breathed out, your lungs felt like they weren't working and your heart was racing. You'd longed for him every night, in the darkness of your room, by the time morning rolled around you'd convinced yourself leaving was the correct thing.

"Can we talk?" He asked, you'd never really seen him unsure of himself, not when you were concerned. "About what?" He couldn't come into the cottage, that you would not allow. "Why you left? Why you ran from me?" His eyes betrayed him and showed you exactly how much you had hurt him by leaving. It was the right thing to do, he deserved better than what you could give him. "It was the right thing to do, the war was over, it was time to move on, find somewhere to settle." He flinched. "I'd have come with you-" You cut him off, "I couldn't let you do that." His face was full of confusion. "Little one, I'd have followed you anywhere." He told you gently as he cupped your face, wiping a tear from your cheek that you hadn't even realised had fallen. "What happened that scared you so much that you ran from me?" You were about to open your mouth, lie to him, tell him you'd met someone else during the war, but the cottage door swung open and you were cut off, "Mama!"

Fenrys froze, withdrew his hand from your cheek, then tensed, his eyes shot over your shoulder, taking in the little blonde girl running towards you. "Mama?" He all but whispered, there was no denying it, so you nodded. "Yes." The little girl skidded to a stop next to you and thrust her hand towards Fenrys. "I'm Freya!" She grinned a toothy grin at him. Fenrys shot you another look before he sank to his knees and took her hand, and kissed it like the courtier he is, "It's lovely to meet you, Miss Freya, I'm Fenrys." She gasped at him, "That's like my name!" He chuckled at her, "It sure is!" She smiled up at him. "Are you a friend of my Mama's?" She asked, "I am, your mama is very important to me." She raised an eyebrow at him, "She is?" He nodded, "Yes, she is." She looked between you and Fenrys, debating the new information that she'd just received, Fenrys studied her while she did, the hair, the eyes, her name, his eyes met yours in a silent question that you didn't get time to answer as Freya had finished appraising the two of you and tugged on his hand, "Tea!" She let go of his hand and ran back into the cottage. "I guess you're invited for tea." You told him quietly.

Fenrys stood, "Freya?" He asked, grasping your wrist to stop you from walking away from him. "Yes, Freya, that's her name." You answered, not meeting his eyes. "How old is she, Y/N?" Still not looking at him, you shrugged, "It's not important." He placed two fingers under your chin and he gently directed your eyes to his, "Yes it is, Y/N, she's mine isn't she? That's why you left?" Taking a shaky breath, you let the tears fall, "You deserved more, you'd just won a war and gained your freedom and I couldn't shackle you to me like that." He let out a breath "Shackled?" You nodded, "You'd been through so much Fenrys, the trauma from Maeve, what happened to Connall, Aelin's torture, Gavriel's death, you needed to heal, you needed to be free and I knew if I told you that you would've done the honourable thing and you'd have married me and taken us both on, it wasn't fair." He scoffed, "So it was fair for me to lose you and not know why? To look for you for four years, to find you only to learn I've missed the birth of my daughter? The first, what, three and a half years of her life?" You tensed as you heard a smash in the house and a quiet "Oops." You pulled your wrist from his hand, "Can we talk about this later please? When she's asleep? Your daughter wants to have tea, will you join us?" His eyes roamed your face once more and he nodded and followed you into the house.

To say Freya was besotted with Fenrys was an understatement, in the course of one afternoon she'd absolutely fallen in love with him and he her. You knew already, despite the fact you kept her from him, he wouldn't be kept away from her anymore, he'd dote on her and he'd never let her want for anything. You watched them through the kitchen window, chasing each other in the garden. Freya couldn't believe her eyes when Fenrys had taken her outside and turned into a wolf before her. She'd spent half an hour sitting on his back as he ran around the garden with her as she shrieked with delight. Now back as a male he chased her and threw her up in the air every time he caught her. Sighing, you turned away from the window, questioning the decision you had made for the first time. He looked more alive now playing with Freya than you'd ever seen him, but then you hadn't seen him in the last four years.

Fenrys stayed for dinner, he looked surprised by your invitation but he graciously accepted and ate with one hand as the other was keeping Freya balanced on his lap. You'd asked her to sit in her own chair and she'd refused, Fenrys certainly wasn't about to ask her to move so you picked your battle, fight with the child about where she sat for dinner, or fight the bigger fight of getting her to go to bed and leave Fenrys. You chose the latter, deciding you didn't have the energy for both and then the conversation that was bound to happen with Fenrys once she was asleep.

Conversation flowed surprisingly easy between the two of you over dinner, he told you of Aedion and Lysandra's wedding, and their baby boy whom they'd named after Gavriel. He told you about Lorcan and Elide who were happily married and had their own babe on the way and of the three children Rowan and Aelin had been blessed with. Chaol and Yrene had a girl, she'd roughly be the same age as Freya and Dorian had finally convinced Manon to marry him. By the time he finished you had tears in your eyes and he was holding your hand across the table, dinner forgotten. "Sad, mama?" Freya's tired little voice asked you, "No baby, mama is happy that her friends got their happy endings." The little girl smiled at you softly and snuggled herself further into Fenrys' chest and yawned.

"I should put her to bed." You said as you wiped your eyes and stood, he looked down at the little girl curled into his chest, "Can I…I mean…would it be alright if-" You smiled at him softly. "Fenrys, would you like to put her to bed?" He gave you a small smile back, "Thank you." You nodded at him, "Top of the stairs, end of the hallway, I'll make some tea, I guess we should talk." He nodded this time. "Don't forget, Wolfie." You added, he lifted an eyebrow and you handed him a stuffed wolf teddy from the side. It was white, just like he was. "I made sure you were around, in small ways." He said nothing as he headed up the stairs and you couldn't help the galloping in your chest at how domestic it all was, at how this was what you had always dreamed of with him.

You hovered nervously at the bottom of the stairs, listening to the low rumble of Fenrys' voice as he told Freya a story as she'd requested, your heart cracked when you realised he was telling her the story of the two of you, he'd made you a princess and he was a knight, cursed to work for the evil queen. He trailed off halfway through, she must've fallen asleep. "Goodnight, little love." You heard him speak lowly, "Have the most wonderful dreams, I'm here now, I'll keep you and your mama safe, always." You heard Freya's bedroom door close and you threw yourself back into the kitchen and into a chair at the table, where you'd already made tea and had sliced some pieces of cake you'd made that afternoon while they played.

"Is that lemon cake?" Fenrys asked as he took the seat opposite you, "You told me once it was your favourite, so I made it while you played with Freya this afternoon." His smiles were still clipped but he gave you one nonetheless, "It still is." You put a piece on a plate and pushed it towards him. "You didn't have to do this on your own, Y/N. I would've been there, I would've wanted to be there." You nodded slowly. "It's going to sound ridiculous, but I wanted you to want me for me, not because I was carrying your child. I didn't want you to stay with me for the baby, so I left. I wanted you to be able to live, Fen, to have a life and your freedom." He leveled you with a look, "You were my life! Hell, you still are, I've looked for you for four years!" You shrank into your chair. "I can never make up for what I did, in keeping her from you, and you from her, I convinced myself it was the right thing to do and I was wrong. I'm sorry Fenrys. I should've told you, I was scared, I was 23 and pregnant and I let the fear win." He took a deep breath, "I'm not going to argue with you, it's done, we can't change it, but I need you both in my life, do you understand that, there was something I should've told you as well, I was going to the night you left, we're mates, you and I, my soul belongs to you and yours to me. I will not be kept away from either of you anymore."

"Come back to the castle with me? Freya has cousins that will adore her, you have friends that miss you, plus, out of all the kids, we made the cutest one and I need to rub that in Rowan and Aedion's faces." You let out a tearful laugh, "I never stopped loving you, Fen." He smiled, properly this time, "I know, little one." You smiled back at him, "We'll come with you." Fenrys stood from his chair and walked round the table to you and pulled you in his arms. "We'll pack up what you need and leave in a few days, I want some interrupted time with my girls first." You smiled up at him, "We can tell her tomorrow, that your her father, if you want." A little gasp pulled both of your attention to the stairs. "Daddy?" Fenrys crouched so he was at her level. "Yes, little love, I'm your daddy, is that okay?" She beamed his own smile at him and ran into his open arms.

"I'm also norse heathen! Specifically one that follows Rökkatru!»

Sorry to ask, but does this mean you believe in the Norse Gods?

I’ve never seen that before, but I think that’s really cool. I love Norse mythology and honestly think it’s really underrated, so seeing someone take it as a religion is even cooler!

Really sorry if this came off as came off as offensive, I’m just curious and would really like to learn more about this and what Rökkatru actually is since I can’t find any clear explanations online ^^

Dont be sorry Anon, im happy you asked! And i reassure you i never take offense to questions, if anything i am happy to answer them. Now to answer the question! ^^

It depends on who it is, if we say for example Loki you would consider him a norse god right? Well in the case of Rökkatru its a belief in the ''anti gods'' as Dr Jackson Crawford put it.

Now a breif history to help you understand!

First, there was Asatru which means “True to the Aesir” and it includes gods such as Odin, Frigga, Heimdall, Baldur, Idunn, Bragi, and many others we hear about in myths. Eventually, those whose religious practice concentrated on the Vanir the second, more agricultural pantheon of Gods including Frey, Freya, Njord, and Nerthus. They decided that they would be called Vanatru.

Some time after that, a woman named Abby Helsdottir of New Zealand created the term Rökkatru for those whose primary focus  was the third pantheon of ''underworld gods'' or what we are more familiar with the jotuns/giants. These can include characters such as Hel, Loki, Angrboda, Sigyn, Fenris, Jormundgandr, Narfi and Vali, Surtr, Skadi, Jord and Mordgud among others. Basically, the outcasts of the norse pantheon!

Rökkatru stands for things such as making a change in the world and accepting that fact, we need change for things to keep going in the world. To accept wild nature, like fire and wind, earth and ocean, trees, animals and humans alike! People are weird, unique and wild. They always have been and will continue to be that way in all shapes, forms and sizes. We do not see “dark” as bad or “the underworld gods” as evil. We feel that this is a Christian concept that has infiltrated some modern interpretations of Norse cosmology, first through the Christians that wrote down (and tainted) the only sources we have of these myths, and second through the Christian upbringings of many converts to Northern religion.

(No hate my christian friends <33)

On a more personal note, heathenry is different for everyone and personally i dont think these beings acctually exist out there, like a higher being that is watching over me and what not. I simply belive in what they stand for and i guess in some kind of spirit? Its a bit hard to explain but i think a nice way to put it is that they live on in spirit. Their stories and traits are important and despite the loss, we will not loose what we have left. If you wonder who i work/follow or focus mainly on its Sigyn and Hel! Thank you for reading to the end <33

[childrenofthesun77]

If I had to make predictions for what will happen next:

I think what tsubaki is yelling about in the latest chapter is that he can't stop what he's doing because we all need someone to life for and for him that was his sister. His subclass and maybe even the other servamp sibling's will probably manage to convince him that they can be that for him too and that he needs to let go of his dead sister.

Mahiru will arrive and mikuni will reveal that he was playing tsubaki the whole time and he plans to make mahiru the vessel because of whatever tooru wanted to tell mahiru after the C3 arc.

Lily will be confused by that turn of events because he's not in on it.

Maybe the whole reason mikuni even wants that power is to get revenge on lily for pretty much ruining his life.

Jeje will start to rampage because of the curse he mentioned that forces him to devour his eves because they always grow insane.

Mahiru will try to save mikuni and will win, but get poisened because of the whole ragnarok/thor vs world snake/ the little prince thing mahiru has going on.

I tried to translate it, but I'm not sure if mikuni confirmed that he killed tsurugi or not in his talk with misono, but I'm sure there will something going on with him. Because of his relation to gear I can see him having him turned into a wolf /fenris who in ragnarok kills odin, thor's one eyed father, so he'll probably fight touma (maybe to prevent him from protecting mahiru if tanaka strike will try to make him a less awful father to him). Gear might also get involved in the fight, tsurigi is his grandchild.

Misono will probably try to get through to his brother for the last time.

The other character will probably try to help as best as they could, but freya, ildio and lawless were all hit badly as they protected the eves from pandoras blast, so maybe they can't do much anymore.

If mahiru ends up dying from the snake poison like thor/the little prince did kuro will once again need to decide if he wants to let someone stay dead or turn them into a subclass.

Most other characters will probably end up surviving.

Finally got the Zullux children's human form all drawn out! Now I just need to do their hybrid forms and true forms like I did with Renya and Tenno.

Below is some lore for everyone!

Queen Renya (68)- Gentle, motherly, curious.  One of the last surviving children of Queen Basilia.  She has a much different opinion on how the Zullux should be as she spent time in the Uma Research Facility.  This helped shape that the Zullux are not as aggressive and trying to find a balance of lycans to Zullux.  She seems to almost have a soft spot for the lycanthropes in the city.  She is in an interesting relationship with King Tenno.

King Tenno (64)- Stoic, serious and straight to the point.  Tenno was created by the Uma Research Facility in order to protect the future of the Zullux, Queen Renya.  Tenno is not the type to joke around or mess with.  She views the Zullux as the apex predator and needs to make sure to uphold the Queen’s orders and to keep the Zullux hidden.  She is not against throwing hands or eating people.  

Female Zullux Children

Sultana (45)- Aggressive, mean, loud.  Believe Lycans are nothing more than cattle and has been experimenting keeping lycan as “cattle” because she believes its the right way versus her mother’s viewpoint.  Works as the mayor’s assistant in Uma in order to keep an eye on her and make sure Elienor doesn’t do anything rash.

Lareina (45)- Gentle and soft-spoken.  Polite and shows interest in the people.  Oversees the Zullux, keeps tabs on everything going on within Versteck.  Wants her mother dead as well secretly.  Wants to kill the queen off because she wants to uplift the lycan to be just as strong as the Zullux and give both sides to be free to show themselves in the public eye.  She works as a councilwomen in Victoria.

Mair (36)- Full of herself and has an ego the size of Versteck itself!  She is a supermodel that can get whatever she wants and uses that to her advantage.  She doesn’t really associate with her siblings and she doesn’t hunt when she can just feed off her fans.  She definitely has a smoking hot body!

Xuxa (31)- Owns the Full Moon Diner in the Fenris district.  She is a hard worker that puts on a front at the diner to hide herself.  She has been eyeing up Freya and the Black Wolves as she gathered intel on them being Zullux hunters.

Sirikit (31)- Flirty and cunning.  Loves to talk to people as a way to get to them and find out personal details.  Goes by the name of “Kit” for short. Works as a bartender in the Fenris district at the Full Moon Saloon.

Zhenga (28)- Quiet and shy.  She usually stays back at the nest to care for her younger siblings and zullux.  When outside she works as a gardener in the Lionel district.  She works with Wolfsbane which has plants in some areas in the nest to avoid lycans from entering the nest.

Averna (28)- Manipulative, studies people, does what people do to the point she can mimic people.  Smart. Sleeps around with people. Singer of “Rage Against Humanity”, a rock band that plays in Victoria.  

Elissa (22)- Straightlaced.  Keeps her wits about her and knows when the fight might be too much.  Keep her sister Averna in check constantly. Tactical. Guitarist of “Rage Against Humanity”. 

Khari (22)- Curious about the world.  Gentle, kind and polite.  Has the goal of trying to find a way that the zullux and lycans can co-exist.  Gained freedom from the zullux entirely, she doesn’t know why or how.  She works at the White Wolf Diner in Uma by the university.

Ina (16)- Outgoing and curious of the world.  She stays back at the nest with the queen as she feels she is not ready for the world just yet.  She has snuck out quite a few times due to her curiosity. Her and Ada are never apart.

Ada (16)- Very reserved and keeps to herself.  She stays back at the nest with the Queen due to her being too young.  She’s a little more nervous on the outside but has tagged along with Ina when she has explored.  Her and Ina are never apart.

Male Zullux Children

Moloch (42)-Aggressive and serious.  Works as a police chief for the Versteck Police and uses pure intimidation to stop people.  Actually a good cop though and understands fighting lycans is a handful.  Very much supports Sultana’s endeavors with her plans and her goals.

Qaiser (42)- Book smart and clever.  He is very interested in the cultures of the lycan and because of this sided with Lareina with her goals.  Works as a doctor in Basilia, he actually helps a lot of people there have access to a doctor for low cost.

Kiros (36)- Arrogant and smooth talking.  He runs a fight club hidden in the sewers called “The Queen’s Gauntlet” where lycan comes to fight below.  The lycan there know what he is but follow the code of fight club to not speak about fight club.

Xerxes (36)-Full of himself and is best described as cocky.  Has deep scars running on him due to fighting.  He owns a strip club in the Basilia district by the name of Skin Deep.

Shoa (28)- Serious in nature and a skilled tracker.  He does a lot of odd jobs around the city to help in keeping tabs of events in Versteck.  Doesn’t currently have a job he’s settled in with.

A/n: Writing this up!

Note: Reader is the Goddess of Wrath / Revenge.

Everyone knew who you were, the Goddess of Wrath and Revenge. Heimdall stayed cleared of you while others would whisper Odin feared you. You were one of the All Fathers best.

That was until you you’ve met Freyr, the God of Rain and Fertility. You didn’t know what pulled you in,could have been his charming personality or the love for his sister. Whatever it was you fell for the man, fell for him hard.

And once Freyr admitted his own feelings for you, you fled Asgard, fled the Aesir gods and turned your back on Odin.

The day that Odin lost you, was the day the All Father knew that someday you would be his down fall.

+•+

The night Freyr said his goodbye to you, was the day you knew something bad would happen. You could feel, you were going to lose your soulmate.

“You need to stay here. I’m not about to lose the love of my life and my kid…please y/n…just stay.”

Ignoring the flames tickling the edge of your finger tips you suppressed your anger then forced a smile on your face.

“Of course my love.”

And then he was gone, along with everyone else. Taking a breath to calm your racing heart you knew what you had to do, you weren’t about to let that prophecy come true. Opening your own portal you gave one glance at the camp before you stepped through, it was fine to visit an old friend.

+•+

“Take care of Y/n for me.”Freyr swallowed thickly as he gave one last look to his sister one last smile as his magic held back Surt’s sword. “You need to go, it's oka- what's that sound.”

Everyone did their best to ignore the bright light, everyone watched as Fenri jumped through a torn veil. Though the group was just as surprised to see you ridding a top of the giant wolf with a look of determination in your eyes. Your hands clutching a staff, tightly in your grip.

Freyr couldn’t hear what you were saying but he couldn’t help but be in awe over you though with a yell he watched Fenri push Surt down as you slammed your staff in his exposed chest. 

“You have the GALL to assume I’d ever let you hurt him!? Your ignorance is your downfall! I will slay you just as I have slayer everyone else that has brought him harm! Who will dare bring him harm.” With a whisper the staff in your fingers burned bright, melting into a pool then into his heart. Leaping off his chest, Fenri caught you.

Letting his lip, Freyr had to swallow thickly. The man has never been more turned on yet terrified in his whole life. Shaking his head he stumbled back as you jumped down from the wolfs back.

“You…you beat him…how?” Freya glanced up as Surt started to fall.

Shrugging your shoulders, you stepped close to your husband cupping his cheeks. “I thought he was getting to close to Freyr.” You lied. “Honestly that is not acceptable.”

Glancing at the veil you nodded his head. “We should probably leave, is is going to explode the moment he touches the ground.”

“What?!”

+•+

Relaxing in your arms, Freyr smiled up at you. He owed you his life and he could wait to hold his child. Turning his body he placed a kiss on your swollen stomach. “I love you.”

Humming, you smiled letting your fingers through his hair, nobody would take your love from you. “And I you my sun.”
