Happy Yule to those who celebrate it, I’ve already left out some dried cranberries, mixed nuts, homemade chocolate chip cookies and dried oranges that I made for Odin, Krampus, the Yule Lads, Grýla, and Jólakötturinn (the Yule Cat) since I’m Icelandic. Also, gonna give some cookies or candy canes to Freyja, Loki, Hel, and Fenrir tomorrow! Blessed be.

There’s no basis for this in Norse mythology but I love the reinterpretation of Baldr in the Valhalla comic where he choose to stay in Hel because he’s sick and tired of brutish, dead warriors who just want to fight and fuck. He’d much rather hang out with the normal people in Hel who passed away quietly.

In this version the goddess Hel and the death realm Hel are linked and it’s only a sad place because Hel feels trapped and discarded which makes the dead people sad which makes her more sad and it’s a never ending cycle that only changes once the bright and loving Baldr arrives and makes her feel loved.

(Before you bring it up, she’s partly blue but it’s more of a shadow than a clean bright blue)

This is my take on Resplendent Hel Hubert. I drew this in like an hour before bed, do not perceive me fijdjvnd

Loki being such a loving, sweet family man was strangely wholesome

And look at baby Fenrir!!! 😭🥹💕💕💞💞

Goddess Hel, divine hostess whose arms lovingly embrace all guests, Watch over those who have crossed your gates against their will. Care for those taken from us and bless them with tranquil rest.

Godx Loki, story-teller and guardian of outcasts, Give words to our sorrow so that we may honor their memories. Breathe air into our lungs so we may bellow our love over hatred.

Goddess Hel, cherisher of life and daughter of metamorphosis, Bestow in their loved ones moments of laughter, healing, and peace. May their names echo not just in sorrow but in smiling remembrance.

Godx Loki, change-bringer and waker of revolution, Spark the flames of unrelenting authenticity within us. Stoke the ember of truth until the hateful are blinded by its light.

Under the cut are the siblings, youth, and elders whose lives were taken due to hatred, bigotry, and fear. I understand it is incredibly triggering, but I believe we owe it to them to read their names.

We love you. We are unendingly sorry and we will never stop fighting until the hatred that stole you from this life has been extinguished. We love you so much.

Angrboda my dear..

You didn't deserve what would befall you and Loki, in every universe including this. Absolutely heartbreaking scene, though how I would imagine it going.. 💔
