**Atrybuty Freji**:

- **Naszyjnik Brisingamen**: To jeden z najważniejszych atrybutów Freji. Naszyjnik ten był zrobiony z najcenniejszych klejnotów i był symbolem jej piękna.

- **Świnia Sibryssyskia**: Freja posiadała wierzącą świnie, która była symbolem płodności.

- **Falcon Cloak**: W niektórych opowieściach bogini ubierała się w pelerynę, która pozwalała jej zamieniać się w sokoła.

**Historie i Mity**:

- **Związek z Odynem**: W mitach, Freja była córką Njorda i była siostrą bliźniaczą Freyra. Miała męża o imieniu Odur, ale także była kochanką Odyna, króla bogów.

- **Utrata Naszyjnika**: Freja utraciła swój naszyjnik Brisingamen, który został skradziony przez Loki. To wydarzenie spowodowało wiele konfliktów i opisane jest w mitologii nordyckiej.

- **Walka w obronie Asgardu**: Freja była także wojowniczą boginią i brała udział w obronie Asgardu przed siłami jotnów podczas Ragnarok.

**Podobieństwa i Różnice**:

- Podobieństwa między różnymi opowieściami o Freji obejmują jej rolę jako bogini piękna i płodności oraz jej związek z miłością i wojną.

- Różnice mogą się pojawiać w zależności od konkretnego źródła mitologii nordyckiej i historii. Niektóre opowieści bardziej koncentrują się na jej aspekcie miłosnym, podczas gdy inne na jej aspekcie wojennym.

**Charakterystyka Postaci**:

Freja jest postacią, która symbolizuje różnorodność aspektów ludzkiego życia. Jest zarówno boginią miłości i urody, jak i wojowniczą boginią, która może stawić czoło wyzwaniom. Jej postać jest pełna kontrastów, co sprawia, że jest jedną z najbardziej interesujących postaci w mitologii nordyckiej.

Freja jest postacią, która łączy w sobie różne aspekty życia i jest ważna zarówno dla bogów, jak i ludzi. Jej historia i atrybuty są odzwierciedleniem bogatej i wielowarstwowej kultury mitologicznej tego regionu.

Out of this World

(Sun Wukong x GOW Freya! Reader)

WARNING: This shit might be cringe and stupid, violence, swearing (obviously), language barrier, reader might accidentally be out of character Freya, late post & poor writing (mb gng)

Bold and slanted words are Chinese speak (not written Chinese for those confused)

NOTE: I accidentally posted this... It was not my intention to post this, I was planning for next week but since some have already read this, I'll just add more to the story that I was planning to anyway, so if you read it already. More content! I guess... (Nov. 30, 2024)

REQUEST ARE OPEN AND LIST IS HERE

The veins in my brain spiked with pain, tapping and poking on my face in hoping I wake up. Opening my eyes, I see many small creatures in front of me. Sitting up, I scooted back but they statutes to run towards me. On my feet, I made my stance to attack.

“Falk-!” Before conjuring my spell, something landed in front of me. The creatures stopped running in front of me as they saw, a staff?

I walked and crouched down to the staff, examining it. I’ve never seen a staff of such a design. Before I could touch it, the staff moved before firing back, a hairy hand grasped the pole. Turning towards the individual, he see, he a bit flash in my opinion. He stood on top on branch of a tree, merely felt intimidated.

“Who are you?” He spoke, the language is not to my knowledge. He noticed my confusion and intimation. The pain from my head came back. I fell to my knees, feeling the sharpness of the twigs and sticks. I lost my consciousness as I heard a thump.

-------------------------------------------------

"What do we do with her? She's clearly from the outside world." Erlang spoke, gazing upon you. Wukong walked from walking scoffing and scratching his head.

"The hell am I supposed to do? She landed on my mountain, clearly rude if you ask me." Erlang chuckled at Wukong who was clearly pissed that you landed on his mountain unattended and rudely. Or so he says.

Erlang continues to examine you, he saw your tattoos on your arms, wondering if there were like you. But you, he wonders what your tattoos mean.

"Her attire is uncivilized. She's a fighter, her markings on her arms and she's barefoot. She looks human, but her soul is not mortal." He brushed a few hair strands away from your face, getting a better look at your face and to see you have any injuries.

Wukong quickly turned towards Erlang, did he hear him correctly?

"Not mortal? What do you mean? No human can be immortal!? Are you certain?" He walked over to you. A disdain look he gave. Exactly who were you?

The moment later, guards forced their way into the room, causing you to wake up. You got up quick, grabbing at your sword but then realized they aren't there. You hold your stance as the guard aimed their spears at you.

Erlang and Wukong entered the room, and Erlang came forward slowly. His hands raised up, preaching for peace.

"Reframe from violence, we are not here to harm you " He spoke. You furrowed your eyes and tilted your head in confusion. Wukong scoffed and rolled his eyes. "See, she's stupid. Doesn't even understand what's going on."

"I don't think it's stupidity, she just doesn't stand our language. A common thing. We'll teach her our ways, if she seems troubling to the balance, kill her if you must. If she was not important in her homeworld, she wouldn't be important here."

---------------------------------------------

Years have passed by and you managed to learn their language, they saw you were already a fight but peaked your interest in teaching you to different techniques.

Wukong realized how smart you are but he still holds criticism towards you and likes to boast about his ego. Of course, you didn't pay too much mind to him.

As much as he hates to admit, he does not like seeing you with Erlang, he usually sees the both of you spar and how he looks at you. Even the praises that Erlang gives you makes him irritated.

You arrived at Mount Huaguo seemingly to drop something off for Wukong. The announcement of your arrival scurry the Monkey King off his throne. He hurried out, spotting you with the young one. You smiled and pet them as they brushed their heads against yours and your hands.

Up in a tree, Wukong was going to haul you off his mountain but seeing how gently you were with the young one, he just kept watching you. What seemed to be long enough, you asked the little ones for their king.

Wukong cleared his throat catching your attention. You set some of the infants down before bowing towards the Monkey King. "Your Majesty, I've come to-"

"Who are you?" He interrupted.

"Huh..." He left a bit speechless, but you answered.

"Not sure if it mattered but, Y/N. I fell in your mountain a few years back."

"I know who you are.." he rolled his eyes, scoffing a chuckle.

You let out a hum, you knew interacting with him wasn't going to be easy. Nor fun. "Well, alright. I have this scroll from the Celestial Court and-"

"The Court!?!" He then groaned, "Now what do they want?"

"They're expecting an answer for your return." You held out the scroll. Visibility to his sight.

Wukong looked at you with an uninviting gaze. He sighed before jumping off the tree, walking up to you. Taking the scroll from your hand and looking at you, you were slightly taller than him.

He opens the scroll reading it. You felt a land at your shoulder appearing an infant, you rubbed underneath its chin. Without notice, Wukong stole a few glances here and there of the scroll and you. Pretty amazing how the infants took a liking to you.

He cleared his throat, catching your attention again. He then tossed the scroll behind him rolling his head and turning away from.

"Tell them I still decline. I have a life here and I wish to keep it that way." You nodded before turning around, the infant jumped off your shoulder.

"But then there's you." You turned back around as he continued, "Why be so naive to work under the Court, you're an Outsider. They thought you once dumb, but your bright, smarter even, but this isn't your smartest run. You'll see eventually that Courts want nothing but a lapdog." He turns away from you.

"And what exactly do you get off of this? Why tell me?" He appears right in front of you, you stumbled back but he grabs your arm pulling you closer.

"The Court is not what they all seem. They seem wonderful and prideful, but they'll use you to their advantage. You're strong, so they'll use you at any change they'll get." He then laughed madly.

"Don't be a fool!" Jump from one tree to another, he disappeared.

Leaving you in question and wonder, you think more about the Monkey King after returning to the Court.

Here's this, as I said before, I was NOT wanting to post this until next week but somehow I posted it anyways. It was in my drafts since like Tuesday, so I don't know what happened today, but yeah, here's this. I might make a part two, if so do expect it to be good. I'm not too good or knee in writing, but I do my best. So if you are interested in this story, let me know. I'll make a part two. And yeah.

REQUEST ARE OPEN HERE!!

"Loki spake:

32. "Be silent, Freyja! | thou foulest witch,

And steeped full sore in sin;

In the arms of thy brother | the bright gods caught thee

When Freyja her wind set free.""

Gullveig Goddess of Gold

My interpretation of Gullveig the vanir goddess of Gold who was killed by Odin/the Aesir

In my interpretation/headcanon, Gullveig used to be Freya’s old mentor and like a second mother to her. She taught Freya seidr and other magics. Gullveig had a feeling she was going to die due to the high tensions between the Aesir and Vanir, as well as Odin’s jealousy of her power. So she told Freya that if she were to die to take her heart and hide it. Upon her death, Freya took Gullveig’s burnt heart and hid it in a box within her hall. Many centuries later, Freya and Loki were together for a night when Loki found the box, eating the heart inside. Then Kol (the heart baby) was born. Freya was rather less than pleased that Loki ate her mentors heart, which resulted in all of Gullveig’s power going to a baby who couldn’t really even control them. But there wasn’t much Freya could do, so she’s just sometimes annoyed by Kol’s presence(not because she was particularly annoyed by her but rather how she came to be).

Frey: Self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath or putting on a lot of make up if you like that, or taking a nice warm nap and stuff like that basically.  Thor: Self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you. self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists. self care is the fear in your enemies eyes.  Loki: Self care is stealing someones birthday cake just to eat the frosting.  Freya: If you touch my birthday cake I’ll make you eat your hands.

Ragnarök Is Coming (Part One)

Kratos was grabbing the reigns of the sled that Speki and Svanna were trudging through in the snow, the great Spartan General has already made enemies within the nine realms; starting with Odin, Thor, and the rest of the Aesir -- for the death of Baldur.

Which? was Odin's favorite son, his closer. It wasn't gonna be an easy journey for the retired and esteemed God of War and his son; which told by prophecy, that he'll betray his father and go into servitude to Odin & to Asgard as it's prince.

The demigod would slide the sled into their protection stave, as he saw Atreus standing outside with the deer that they scavenged for along with the other kills that Kratos got for the two.

"Boy, I have returned with our hunt. Ready the fire. Then? We feast, and then to bed."

Atreus nodded in his father's direction, jotting what he said; as he was journaling about the events that transpired pre-Ragnarok.

"Yes, sir. Let me just go check on Fen and the wolves."

Atreus would make his rounds to Speki & Svanna's kennel to drop them off some juicy tendered venison that was gutted from the deer they captured on the way back to the stave.

"Eat up, Speki. Eat up Svanna. Gotta keep your strength."

Atreus would then head over to Fenrir, as the wolf was laying half livingly; as he plopped down aside to the wolf with it's body resting upon his lap.

The Queen's Lover(a poem about Persephone and Hades)

The Queen of Spring is kind at heart, though her crown is heavy upon her head.

She wept long ago, wishing for more in her peaceful life. She now possesses what she wanted, o' so long ago.

A crown of petals still curls in her hair, but she now sits atop a throne of stone. The air is cold, but she never minds.

For her King is not a king to her. He is her lover, her other half, the completion of her soul.

While many may think he is filthy; an underdog, the flower's roots cannot prosper without the cool soil. Now, each cycle, they dance together.

Do Death and Life truly despise each other? Or is it just as strong as hatred, but more dear?
