Loki, what's your favorite thing about (or what do you most admire) about each of your kids?

Loki: "This is an impossible question for a parent to answer. I will say the great strengths I most associate with my children are Sleipnir's steadfastness, Fenris's fearlessness, Jörmungandr's adaptability, Hela's knowledge of magic and the worlds, and Peter's knowledge of science and combat."

Propaganda!

Vanth is a female demon in the Etruscan underworld that is often accompanied either by additional Vanth figures or by another underworld demon, Charun (later referred to as Charu). Both Vanth and Charun are only seen in iconography beginning c. 400 BC, in the middle period of Etruscan art, although some earlier inscriptions mention her name. Her other attributes include the possession of a torch, key, or scroll, and she is shown often to be bare-chested with cross-straps across her breast, adorned with fur boots, a rolled short chiton, and sometimes with unattached sleeves. In fact, her dress has been attributed by Scheffer as specifically that of a huntress.

Propaganda from the submitter:

she basically only appears on etruscan funerary stuff and only after etruscan funerary stuff gets Fucked Up And Evil. sometimes there's more than one of her on a sarcophagus! and i love her

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr, also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent, is an unfathomably large sea serpent or worm who dwells in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard) and biting its own tail, an example of an ouroboros. As a result of it surrounding Midgard (the Earth) it is referred to as the World Serpent. Jörmungandr releasing its tail is one of the signs of the beginning of Ragnarök (the final battle of the world). Jörmungandr is said to be the middle child of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboða.

Propaganda from the submitter:

Just a big ol' worm boi

[brknmnds]

Jörmungandr didn't know the last time he saw his sister. Odin had made sure that they never saw each other, casting them out to the different realms.

The years had passed and he had learned a lot of magic on his time on Midgard. He was strong enough to travel to other realms and his first stop was Hel, knowing he wouldn't get close enough to Fenrir.

He hugged her back tightly. "I missed you dear sister."

@brknmnds asked:

“Uh... surprise?”

Hel stilled. She blinked at him a while. Not entirely sure if he was real. And then, in the space between heartbeats, she had moved to envelop him in her arms. If he were a lesser man, she would've hugged the life from him.

hel, goddess of death (asteroids hel (949) & hela (699))

Hel was the third child of Loki and the giantess Angrboða and the sister of Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Sleipnir. It most versions, her looks are the emphasis - half of her skin appeared to be pink and plump like a newborn's, while the other half looked decayed and sickly - nearly green or blackish in appearance. Her face was said to have been in a constant state of gloom. When the other gods heard of her and her siblings' existence, they were alarmed due to the parentage - two troubling/"evil" beings had come together to produce three monstrous children... The gods decided to kidnap the children to better assess them in Asgard. Odin was just as sure as he was about the serpent, Jörmungandr, that Hel had to elsewhere. He hurled her into Niflheim - the world beneath the worlds, where the shadows and mist would become her only true companions. As so she made her hall, Eljudnir, which would become the home of the dead when Odin would task her with looking after them, the dead of all the nine worlds who had died of illness or old age, and cursed her to always have to share her food with whoever came her way. Bitterly, her plate was named Hunger, her knife was Famine, her bed was Sick-Bed, and its hangings Glimmering Misfortune. Only when Ragnarok occurred, did Hel see the light of day again. IN MY OPINION Hel/Hela in your chart can represent a) where a part of you decays, b) where your looks make you seem unapproachable/threatening, c) where/how your parents reputation effects how you get treated by others, d) where you are surrounded by darkness, e) what you have to share but lack yourself, and/or f) where you seek opportunities to get even with those who have done you wrong.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of hel/hela along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of hel/hela AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede hel/hela!

Caged Fighting

Pairing. Mammon x GN!MC, but implied poly!MC

C/W. Contract fighting. Swearing. Cursing. Suggestive.

Prompt. An idea by @sparkbeast20

No proofread btw

“Hey MC, ya have to look at this.” Mammon barged in your room, as usual, and shouted. His hand holding a piece of paper.

There goes my peaceful day. You told yourself as you dropped your favorite thing to do to focus on Mammon and what he had to show you.

“What makes you so happy, Mammon?” You asked.

“Look at this, MC.” Mammon said excitedly. “We’re gonna to be rich.”

Mammon gave you the piece of paper. And you began to read.

CONTRACT

The employee will become a fighter in a caged fighting.

[…] The employee must obey the terms described in the contract. And the employer must pay the employee adequately. Any violation will result in magical and legal punishment for the violating party.

This contract can’t be ended before both parties fulfill their stated obligations. If a party tries to end the contract prematurely, they will receive the same punishment as committing violation.

Employer

Jörmungandr

Employee

Mammon

“Mammon, it’s a contract for caged fighting.” You said as you pointed the place in the contract where “caged fighting” was stated explicitly.

“What!?” The second eldest snatched the contract from your hands.

“Fuck!” Mammon cursed as he read the contract thoroughly.

“Let’s go meet Lucifer. I’m sure he can get you out of this.” You said, fuming. They dared to trick Mammon, so you weren’t gonna let them go away with this. “We gonna make them pay.”

“Wait, MC.” Mammon grabbed you hand, stopping you from running to Lucifer’s office.

“Why are you stopping me?”

“Listen here. Lucifer already has so many things on his plate right now. I don’t want to stress him more. Beside, I signed this contract and it was my fault for not reading it carefully. If Lucifer were to be pulled into this, he would be put into a difficult position since it was a legally signed contract.”

“Then what should we do? Devildom’s Caged fighting is dangerous. I don’t want you to be injured.”

Mammon looked at your face, guilt was written all over his face. He didn’t want to put Lucifer in a difficult position, but he didn’t want you to be sad either.

“I…it’s just a fight. The Great Mammon is the second strongest demon of the seven demon brothers. The Great Mammon is gonna achieve a quick victory and then quit.” Mammon said before leaving your room.

Fast forward to the night of Mammon’s fight, you used a magical equipment that Solomon had taught you to make to disguise yourself as a demon and entered the caged fighting arena. After taking a spectator’s seat, you looked around and finally, you found the contract owner sitting at the VIP area. Jörmungandr, son of Loki, he was a cunning snake demon and the owner of the arena.

Son of a bitch. You cursed the demon silently. You just wanted to jump at him, punch his face, and pull his forked tongue out.

“Ladies and gents, devils and abominations, here comes our first fight this evening. Let’s welcome our two fighters onto the arena, or rather the cage. On the red side, we have the famous Avatar of Greed, Mammon.”

You turned to look at the red side of the arena and saw Mammon entering the arena, amidst the cheers of many demons. You knew they were the cheers from the excitement to watch bloodshed, rather than cheering for Mammon.

But soon, your attention was on something else. Mammon was half-naked and was only wearing a yellow boxing shorts. Your gaze was glued to the tanned muscles on his body. Though you had had many occasions to “enjoy” that body, you still found yourself hot and gulping your own saliva.

Damn it, Mammon. At least wear a top. Heat rushed to your face as you were admiring the body of a demon model. You hoped that the demons of lust in this arena didn’t catch on to your horniness.

“And on the blue side, we have Bagmon.”

You looked to the blue side of the arena and what you saw surprised you. A scrawny goblin entered the arena from the blue side door. He was so thin to the point you felt pitiful for him. But soon, you realized something was up.

Shit. It was a trap.

The fight started. And within one minute, Mammon was able to achieve victory by landing his fist on his opponent’s face, sending the goblin flying. Just as you had expected.

“MAMMON WINS!” The referee declared, while Mammon’s face was like he couldn’t believe what had happened. But soon it turned into joy and laugh.

The first fight in the evening ended early, much to the disappointment of many spectators. Knowing that Mammon had no other fight, you left your seat and returned to the House of Lamentation, ahead of Mammon.

“How was it? Did you quit?” You asked when Mammon returned, dreading that Mammon had fallen into Jörmungandr’s trap.

“Well… about that…the owner guy came to talk to me after the fight, saying I had potential…this and that.” Mammon avoided your intense gaze.

“And?”

“Before I knew it, I signed another contract to fight for a week. I’m sorry.”

You sighed.

“Don’t worry. If the next fights are like today, I’m gonna win and bring back a lot of money.” Mammon tried to comfort you. And it seemed that the first win boosted his confidence a lot, he sounded less uncertain now.

“Alright, only a week. After the contractual period ends, quit immediately. Or I’ll be mad and won’t talk to you ever again.”

“Alright. Ya have my words.” Mammon nodded.

The following week, you cancelled all your appointments with the others if they fell into the evening when Mammon had a fight to secretly go to the arena and watch Mammon fight. Your goal was to protect the second eldest.

Just as you had been worried, all Mammon’s opponents were weak and low-ranking demons, whom the second eldest knocked out within 1-2 minutes. The strongest of them only lasted five minutes. As you saw Mammon’s guard dropped with each fight from the spectator’s seat, you became more worried that the very next fight could be the greedy demon’s doom.

Nothing happened to Mammon, the demon fighters could barely leave a scratch on him. Soon, it was his final caged fighting battle, as your worry reached its peak, you had a bad feeling about this final fight.

“Little kitten, I didn’t know you liked caged fighting.”

You froze. Busted. You said in your head as you turned around to face Asmo. With Asmo were Satan, Beel, and Belphie.

“What are you guys doing here?” You asked.

“We followed you, of course.”

“We noticed that you were weird this past week, canceling all of our appointments in the evening and you always had anxiety written all over your face.”

“It’s about Mammon, right?”

Then you told the four brothers what was going on with Mammon.

“Mammon, that idiot.”

“I really wanted to go to the staff’s area to help Mammon not fall into their tempting words and traps but they didn’t allow non-staff to enter.” You told the brothers. “I know I should have told you guys to interfere, but Mammon didn’t want to burden anyone with his problem.”

“That’s where you two are wrong, dear. Your problem is not a burden to us at all.”

“Yes, we are family, we stick together.”

“Guys, I-

Before you could say anything more to the brothers, the emcee appeared and announced the start of the fighting night.

“Ladies and gents, devils and abominations, let’s welcome our fighters tonight. On the red side, we have Mammon, the Avatar of Greed.”

Mammon entered the arena with a smug look on his face before posing his muscles for the audiences.

“On the blue side, we have Erraroth.” The emcee announced.

Suddenly, the whole arena became wild, as many spectators began to chant “ERRAROTH! ERRAROTH! ERRAROTH!”

The said demon soon made his appearance. He was exactly how you would imagine demon for your whole life had you not come to the Devildom. Erraroth was a big demon, you swore he was at least 10 feet. The demon had 4 arms with muscles bulging and a large tail. His skin was as red as Hell’s fire and he did breathe fire from his nostrils. You had seen the redness on Diavolo’s skin and scale once, and you felt protected, but the color on this demon’s skin, you felt that it just wanted to blind your eyes and burn you to ashes.

When you saw the Erraroth, you knew your worry had come true. For whatever reason, the demon Jörmungandr wanted to see Mammon beaten and humiliated, but not before letting the Avatar of Greed taste some sweetness from victory to let him drop his guard.

“Son of a bitch.” You cursed the serpent demon again.

In the cage, the referee announced the start of the fight. Mammon looked at how tall Erraroth was. The second eldest gulped but he attacked first anyway, he didn’t want to let such a formidable opponent to gain the advantage of attacking first.

Mammon landed his fist on Erraroth’s stomach.

Did it work? Mammon asked himself but he soon knew the answer.

“Did our Avatar of Greed forget to eat his meals?” Erraroth chuckled.

Mammon ignored him and landed another punch.

“Ah of course he could forget to eat. Because he’s the Avatar of Greed, not Gluttony.” Erraroth said before laughing out loud this time. Many spectators, and even the emcee, laughed with him. While you and the brothers frowned at the cringed joke.

What happened next changed the mood of the arena completely. Erraroth sent his knee at Mammon’s stomach. The force was so strong that Mammon spat blood. The giant demon then grabbed Mammon by his throat and threw him towards the cage, wounding the second eldest’s back, which collided with the hard iron cage.

Mammon stood up. “The Great Mammon can still fight.”

“Ha, not for long.” Erraroth mocked.

The battle continued but it was one-sided, with Erraroth beating Mammon like a sandbag.

Through your pact, you could feel it. Mammon would soon lose consciousness. Sitting next to you, Satan and Beel were ready to jump in at any given moment.

“Satan, Beel, let me.” The two calmed down a little bit at your words.

“Hear me, denizens of darkness, you who are born of shadow and you who give birth to it. Hear me and do as I command. I call upon you to give vitality and lend your power to Mammon, the Avatar of Greed.” The pact mark on your body began to shine yellow. No one notices, except the four demons sitting with you.

In the cage, Mammon, who was losing consciousness, suddenly regained energy to fight. Not only that, he could feel power was running through his body.

The demon Erraroth frowned at the changes. He didn’t like it. He dashed towards Mammon and raised a fist at him.

Everyone thought Erraroth was gonna beat Mammon again, just like what he had done during the fight. But surprisingly, Mammon caught the first with ease.

“It’s the Great Mammon’s turn to fight back.” Mammon twisted Erraroth’s arm and broke it.

As Erraroth screamed in pain, the Avatar of Greed landed a first on his face, before sending his knee at the former’s stomach. As the big demon stumbled back, Mammon struck his legs, making him fall down. The Avatar of Greed soon dominated Erraroth and won the battle.

“MAMMON WINS!” The referee declared. The audiences were shocked with Mammon’s victory. But after a moment so silence from shock, they began to cheer for him and chant his names.

“MAMMON! MAMMON! MAMMON!”

After the cheers had died down, one of the staff took Mammon back to staff-only area. There, Jörmungandr made his appearance before the Avatar of Greed.

“Mammon, you were so amazing in the fight. When I first saw you, I knew that you had it in you to become a great fighter.” Jörmungandr tempted Mammon. “Do you want to become a regular fighter?”

“Sorry, but I can’t.” Mammon answered without hesitation.

“I’ll pay double.”

“No, I don’t want to. Also, I have promised someone I would quit after this fight.” Mammon’s cheek turned a little pink when he remembered how you cared for him.

Seeing Mammon’s reaction, Jörmungandr knew right away he had a special someone. The serpent demon changed his tactic.

“Well, I mean, by continuing to work as a regular fighter, you can get a lot of money to give to someone and they will be happy. Even if they don’t, who knows, maybe you both will need the money you make today as a fighter in the future.”

“Well, I…”

“Without money, you two may one day be destitute. Imagine your significant other has to work day and night just to make ends meet for the both of you. Excessive work makes their beautiful hands ugly.”

“This…” now Mammon had become very torn. As the Avatar of Greed, the last thing he wants is that you lack anything you want and need, be it physical or mental or spiritual.

“One day, your significant other begins to cough. At first, you think it’s a normal cold. But the coughing never stops. Alas, your significant other collapses and never-

Before Jörmungandr had the chance to finish his heart-breaking story, something collided with him from the back. The thing was heavier than him and he fell on his face, with the thing on top of him.

“Son of a bitch, stop depicting me as a poor mother who has to raise seven kids.” A strange demon ran in and started to kick Jörmungandr non-stop. Beel followed the strange demon, carrying around 5-6 bodyguards with him. It turned out that “the thing” that hit Jörmungandr before was also a bodyguard.

“This one is for tricking Mammon, this one is for jinxing me, this one is for using poor people for your evil money making scheme.” Satan, Asmo, and Belphie followed in after Beel. Once they saw you kicking Jörmungandr, they felt amused and joined in with you.

“Satan, Asmo, Beel, Belphie, why are you here?” Mammon asked.

Asmo stopped kicking the bad guys to answer Mammon. “We were worried about you and MC, so we followed you two here.”

“MC!? They are here! Where are they?” Mammon asked with a worried tone.

Asmo did not answer but used his eye language to point to the strange demon who was kicking the bad demons non-stop.

Feeling the intense gaze from Mammon, you stopped to look at him. It took you a whole minute to realize he might not recognize you. So you cancelled the disguise spell before running towards the second eldest and hugged him. You two nearly kissed if not for the intense gaze from others.

“You made me worry so much, you moron, idiot, baka!” You shouted at Mammon.

“I’m sorry, MC.” Mammon hugged you back.

“If I hadn’t barged in here, would you have signed another contract that made you a regular fighter?” You asked.

“I’m sorry, MC.”

“Even if someone evil uses me as a bait, don’t take it.”

“I’m sorry.” Mammon apologized for a third time. “But I can’t help it. MC, you’re the most important person in my life. I can’t act without thinking about your well-being. If I refuse him, I would shut a door that you might need in the future.”

“Oh, Mammon.” You disagreed with Mammon but his words made your chest felt warm. Mammon may be an idiot but he genuinely cares about you, he’s your idiot and those who dares to take advantage of his idiocy and caring heart shall pay.

Since Jörmungandr dared to harm a member of the Morningstar family, you handed him to Lucifer, along with many of his workers, and also the emcee of the arena, who dared laugh at Mammon.

However, Jörmungandr’s father, the trickster demon Loki, came to Diavolo and sued you and Mammon. The three judges, namely Diavolo and the two brothers who did not participate in the chaos - Lucifer and Leviathan, presided over the trial. But, alas, the trial was completely one-sided as the judges unanimously favored you and yours. Loki lost the trial and had to pay you a large amount of Grimm, while Jörmungandr was found guilty of intentionally trying to harm and humiliate an officer of Devildom to gain more wealth for himself. The serpent demon found himself sentenced to thousands of years in the Hell’s Circle of Greed.

Everything had been resolved…or so you thought. After returning to the House of Lamentation, Mammon kept challenging Beel to a brawl fight, shouting something “I will definitely awake the hidden power within me from last time”, much to the amusement of you and the four brothers who were with you that day. You five knew that it was you who gave a boost of power to Mammon, but you all decided to keep it a secret, let Mammon think he has some hidden power and be happy.

I think it costed me more than a week to complete this. I have completely forgot the plot of the first half by the time I wrote the final part.

Special thanks to demon name generator for the two demon names appear in this fic

Anyway, hope you guys like it.

watching twilight of the gods b/c i’ll watch most things norse mythology related but I find myself after every episode going uhhhh ugghhhhh guhhh why would you do that …so many random soft core p/orn moments that were so unnecessary… what they did w/ jörmungandr is actually criminal. i’m disgusted! spoilers:

they turned jörmungandr (the midgard serpent) into a woman who was tasked with seducing and fucking thor. Why The Fuck…

Why the fuck!

~ooo jörmungandr is thor’s undoing so what if we reinterpreted HIM as a Hot Humanoid Snake Woman who FUCkS THOR~

Some Notes on the Bakunawa

It holds the universe in its coils of void. Time rides on its back, flowing outwards in a spiral. The Bakunawa wishes to devour the moon and plunge the world into eternal night. It makes itself felt in the physical world through anything that spirals - tornadoes, whirlpools, snakes biting their own tails.

—Swellbloom Kids Appendix C: The Sais Marias

The Bakunawa is an eldritch embodiment of chaos in my Philippine mythology tabletop Swellbloom Kids.

I chose spirals as the central imagery for the Bakunawa. Spirals evoke a sense of infinity - whereas a circle is closed and complete, a spiral goes on and on and on. It is round like a circle, but a definite path from the center is visible, and its outward motion implies expansion. It cannot be contained. I'm also reminded of a coiled snake every time I see a spiral. Therefore, what better symbol for an infinite being than an infinite shape? Spirals feel divine to me.

Snakes are also extremely interesting to me. They are regarded as sacred in various belief systems across different cultures, not to mention have a strong duality. Their poison kills, but they gain new life as they shed their skin. Contributing to this were also the images of the Ouroboros, Apophis, and Jörmungandr.

The Bakunawa is not necessarily evil. It is chaos incarnate, but in the sense of entropy - how things naturally fall into disarray. The eventuality of the universe. In Swellbloom Kids, when the world inevitably ends at the hands of either the Heat Haze Boy (El Niño) or the Monsoon Girl (La Niña), the Bakunawa will be there to swallow the leftovers.

Since tumblr finally blessed me with polls, I can ask the most important question about my most recent spawn:

[silvcrignis]

[nishitha-mga2021mi6021]

West World

in western traditions, we see the term serpent instead of the naga

we can find the serpent in the bible

the cobra ureaus

he uraeus symbol is deeply connected with the serpent goddess, Wadjet, who was often depicted as having a snake’s head or wearing the uraeus.

Originally, the uraeus was Wadjet’s body wrapped around the head of another deity or the pharaoh.

Wadjet, Lower Egypt’s patron goddess and protector, became associated with the goddess Nekhbet who was depicted as a white vulture and held the same position in Upper Egypt. After the unification of Egypt, Nekhbet’s image joined Wadjet on the crown, becoming part of the uraeus.

Pharaohs were recognized only by wearing the uraeus. They wore the uraeus as a headdress, which became part of their crown. It signified Wadjet’s protection and reinforced the pharaoh’s dominion over the land. This tradition was as old as the Old Kingdom (c. 2700-2200 BC).

The uraeus was adorned with gemstones and made of gold and sometimes silver. Before the period of the New Kingdom, the uraeus’ body was coiled in circles behind its raised head attached on the Blue Crown worn by the pharaoh who was believed to be protected by Wadjet.

Wadjet’s protection, however, was not limited to the pharaoh. She was also believed to protect the whole Egypt from the forces of chaos, as well as women in childbirth. Her image with the sun disk is the uraeus symbol.

Jörmungandr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jörmungandr in the sea during Ragnarök, drawn by the Norwegian illustrator Louis Moe in 1898.

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (Old Norse: Jǫrmungandr, lit. 'the Vast gand', see Etymology), also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent (Old Norse: Miðgarðsormr), is an unfathomably large sea serpent or worm who dwells in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard) and biting his own tail, an example of an ouroboros. As a result of it surrounding Midgard (the Earth) it is referred to as the World Serpent. When it releases its tail, Ragnarök (the final battle of the world) will begin.

Jörmungandr is said to be the middle child of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by Angrboða – the wolf Fenrir, the goddess Hel, and the serpent Jörmungandr – and removed them from Asgard (the world of the Æsir). The serpent Jörmungandr was tossed into the great ocean that encircles Midgard.[1] There the serpent grew so large that it was able to surround the Earth and grasp its own tail.[1] The old norse thunder-god, Thor, has an on-going feud with Jörmungandr in their epics and the two can be seen as archfoes. During Ragnarök, Thor and Jörmungandr will fight each other to the death.

Ouroboros derives from a Greek word meaning “tail-devourer.” While the word is not attested in English until the 1940s, the concept of the ouroboros is very ancient, used across many cultures as a symbol of cosmic harmony, eternity, and the cycle of birth and death.

In Greek mythology, Medusa (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Ancient Greek: Μέδουσα "guardian, protectress"),[1] also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto,[2] although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto.[3]

Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who then used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon[4] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity, the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.

According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth as part of their religion.

[ask-peter-lokison]

For Loki and children, now that the rogue and missing Avengers (plus Bucky) are back and you can meet them properly, are you making any friends among them?

Loki: It's rather nice meeting a fellow magic user like Wanda. Our powers are quite different but we've had some interesting conversations.

Hela: I admit I was rather excited to finally meet such fascinating examples of Midgardian adaptability. Captain Rogers and Dr. Banner are still uncertain of me but I've enjoyed getting to know the Maximoff siblings.

Peter: It's been so cool having all the Avengers together again! I mean, things are still... kinda awkward between some of them but it's still amazing to be spending so much time with my heroes! Bl- Natasha and Pietro both train with me a lot, it's been so cool!

Fenris: I'm not too interested in making fast friends with the people who betrayed Stark. It was an enjoyable experience fighting alongside Bucky Barnes though. I don't disagree with him being called Wolf.

Jörmungandr: Wanda and Pietro come visit me sometimes! Usually just them but Natasha and Sam have come with before too.

[helreginn]

🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about?

Misc. Ask Meme

In most verses, Hel is relatively immune to the shame condition. You don't grow up under Loki's guidance and allow yourself be tied down by something like that.

And also the rumour that she has skelelegs. She do (rarely), but that's besides the point. She's a shapeshifter. It's a metaphor and a choice.

Oh! And that she's not entirely sure where babies come from. But nobody will give her a straight answer. Like, she knows where human babies come from and even Áss (god) babies etc etc but herself and Jörmungandr and Fenrisulfr (her brothers) specifically? Death wasn't paying as much attention as she should have to her older brothers and by the time Hel came along, death was a bit busy being enmeshed in physical form to have that awareness. And there are A LOT of differing stories on how those three beasties came to be.. And every time she asks a parent or sibling she gets told a different one. :T

At this point she thinks either a] Dad ate Mum's heart and then birthed us himself (He birthed a horse so who knows?) b] The normal way and everyone is just a lying liar who lies. OR c] There is hella magic involved and they are actually constructs not children born of flesh. (I as the mun haven't decided yet. It's been over ten years of THIS blog and more than that of me playing Hel so she'll probably never know. RIP)

In my LOTR verse? Obviously her crush on Melian. Less obvious is how out of sorts she feels once all her friends are dead. She's old as balls and doesn't live anywhere that other people do or go to. So no matter how she is accepted when she travels, she just feels odd.

jörmungandr, the world serpent (asteroid 471926)

Jörmungandr is the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Jörmungandr and his siblings, Hel and Fenrir, were living in Jotunheim when a prophecy was brought forth to Odin that one of the children of Loki would cause devastation in the future. With this knowledge Odin ordered that they be removed from the enemy land of the giants while they were young; Jörmungandr was hurled into the sea by Odin, Odin had hoped that the ocean would destroy the serpent. Jörmungandr grew to be an extremely large serpent as he consumed the sea - he was so large that he could encircle the entire world. Jörmungandr is often thought of as the original ouroboros. Jörmungandr is considered the archenemy of Thor. Thor's hatred of the creature stems from a myth in which Thor and company visited the land of the giants - the gods came to the gates of a castle but could not open the gates. The bars were luckily widely spaced in the land of the giants, so they were able to slip in - the king of the castle was put off by their unexpected arrival and said to them if they wanted hospitality, they would have to complete three tasks. Lift the king's cat from the ground - Thor was incapable of completing the task, he was only capable of lifting a paw from the ground. The next task was to drink the entirety of the castle's drinking horn - Thor who normally could handle his drink was not capable of completing this task again. Thor was irate and demanded that he fight one of the king's fiercest warriors as the final task. The king stated he could fight the castle's nurse who was an old woman - he failed this task too. The king confessed to them that he had used magic to trick the gods: the cat was Jörmungandr who Thor nearly pulled from the ocean, the horn was linked to the ocean and Thor nearly drained the ocean, and the old woman was actually the personification of age which no one has ever beaten. Thor was angered by this and went to swing at the king, but the king and his castle disappeared; from then on the king and Jörmungandr were considered enemies of Thor. Some believe this king was Loki in disguise who was attempting to free his son from his confinement. In one myth recounted in Prose Edda, Thor fishes for the serpent and fails to pull him up and kill him. During Ragnarök all three of Loki's children would join the chaos and battle against the gods - Jörmungandr would be killed by Thor at this battle, but Thor is thought to have died from one of Jörmungandr's poisonous bite. IN MY OPINION Jörmungandr in a chart can symbolize a) unknown and unexpected transformation, b) where you are large than most things, c) where people constantly try to end you, d) your connection to the ocean, and/or e) how banishment changes you.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of jörmungandr along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of jörmungandr AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede jörmungandr!
