@wiickedxgood Remember this fucking MURDER in an open forum hfhfhhjb? He killed him in front of EVERYBODY

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."

[a-d-nox]

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!

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.

[oneshortdamnfuse]

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~

I HATE IT

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:

[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.

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.

Altunastenen (c. 11th century)

A picture stone in Altuna, Uppsala, depicting Thor catching Jörmungandr, the sea serpant who surrounded Midgard, a tale told in Hymiskviða from Poetic Edda. In Thor’s hand is his magic weapon Mjölnir.

Would have loved to sit down and researching for hours if it were not for my adhd ass

🤡 - 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.

Faceclaim: Barney Harris

About:

Just like his father, Jörmungandr is a shape shifter. He is more known for his large serpent form that spans the circumference of Midgard but the serpent doesn't spend as much time in the ocean as people are made to believe.

When Odin banished him into the Midgardians sea, he vowed to hurt the Æsir knowing that he would never see his family again.

He spent his time wandering the globe, the man did not age so never spent to long in one place. He travelled across oceans using his serpent form to get their faster. Allowing him to learn the languages of the world.

He never gave his real name, making up names as he went as to not be recognised by those who know his tale.

Extra details:

Has serpent slit eyes which are golden in colour.

Has fangs that can retract into his jaw.

Snakes of all kind are attracted to him and will follow him around.

Has a marking of a snake coiled around his left arm.
