#i am o b s e s s e d with the parallels between loki/sigyn and goro/akira and not sorry for it

[books-and-dragons]

Chaos and Victory

The first time he hears 'your Sigyn', Goro hates himself for the way he immediately knows who Loki is talking about, lashing out with furious denial before he can can allow the implications of such a title to fully wash over him. It's easier this way, Goro tells himself.

He should have known better than to deny a manifestation of his own soul, but refusal comes easier- it always has, and it's not until there's a bullet in his side and a bulkhead barrier between them, that Goro finally allows himself to accept the truth Loki had so clearly laid out before him months ago.

Then, really, it's impossible not to recognise the every parallel between themselves and the Norse deities that came before them.

did i write this nearly half a year ago and i'm only sharing it now? yes. and what of it? i'm kidding i am so so apologetic

the amount of parallels between akechi/akira and loki/sigyn had me obsessed from the moment i realised it, and with hope this is not gonna be the end of this specific brainrot. not by a long shot.

i do have intentions of doing a post on here elaborating on these parallels (also, just sharing more about sigyn, because there's basically nothing about her out there and she deserves BETTER) but maybe that's for the future, depending on if this is a me-specific fixation?
