Art obvsly made from me

Ok, I did a rough lineup of the gals I’ve designed so far and wow it’s funny looking at them all standing together like this

[ryebread-x]

I'm more inclined to believe/prefer the theory of Sigyn being a war related goddess rather than the theory of her being a valkyrie/former valkyrie

It just makes more sense to me, and I feel as if it gives her individualism as possibly a victory and loyalty goddess rather than having her be connected to the valkyries

Imagine tagging Neil Gaiman, whom you constantly complain about because he doesn't depict Loki the way you wish, to confirm some half-assed theory (by that salty Tumblr user I know suibaited me at least once on anon).

I know you're referring to this frame:

Sandman spoilers!!!

It's implied/stated Dream wanted to die, so he MIGHT HAVE orchestrated his own death (and that's what Loki realized, that Dream allowed Loki to escape his punishment because he knew it'd lead to his death). Only to reincarnate in Daniel.

First, Sigyn wouldn't know shit. People don't need reasons or justifications to take abuse. There's no "greater reason." They just do. Maybe she doesn't like the idea of someone suffering like that. People can care about people that fucking hate them.

The way y'all talk about abuse is fucking harmful. With the constant praising of perfect victim narratives, hating women for not being doormats ("Sylvie is abusive"), acting like being loyal to an abusive husband is a sign of sainthood, using cherrypicked comic panels where Marvel!Loki says he loves Marvel!Sigyn to prove that there was actually no abuse, ignoring a lot of other stuff. Acting like there's a greater reason or justification for the abuse.

I feel like having Sigyn calling out Daniel!Dream would be incredibly out of place. And this sounds like beating a dead horse with OP's insistence on holding Marvel's Ikol accountable for what their previous reincarnation did (Geez, leave Ikol alone).

Also, if I had venom constantly dripped for millennia in my eyes I would also be evil and cuss out whoever was near to me for failing to get it all cus that's fucking torture. That's your answer to why Loki's so fucking evil.

Also, OP lacks basic media literacy and has a tendency to fail to cite sources and just make shit up on various occassions (SiGyN iS aSsOcIaTeD wItH fOxEs. Nope. YOU just made that up.).

Although I write this only in Polish, I thought I might still share here my illustrated Logyn (Loki/Sigyn) story on Wattpad.

[slowsadsleepy]

but like why does it have to be Sigyn holding the bowl why does she have to suffer

can't she just prop the bowl on Loki's face or give the snake a bib

[deadhaven]

One of my favorite kennings for Loki is "farmr Sigvinjar arma", which translates roughly to "the cargo of Sigyn's arms". Add a little Gustav Klimt to the equation, and you have an idea that's been plaguing me for months.

The jump was indeed, high, nearly for her like jumping into the darkness, trusting for loki to catch her. She hoped he wouldn't fall. She would hate if he would get hurt because of her.

She gasped for air as she felt his arms around her, adrenaline rushing through her veines and made her heart race. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She was safe, he was here. Only the thought of marrying someone else than loki had her scared. She already imagined to be his, as unrealistic it seems that a God would want to marry her.

"Uhm.. No, I don't have" she said slowly, somehow feeling how her body got coulder when he sat her down to the ground. "I.. Was.. In... Other thoughts to be honest"

@sigynoffidelity liked for a starter!

An arrow from a clear blue sky. This certainly didn’t happen every day.

It was freeing to be able to transform into creatures other than a human - and Loki had learned how to do it more and more smoothly, with time. Without the initial slight nausea, without the confusion what he was supposed to do after changing into an animal or back into a man, and without feeling lost. It had become his second nature, the source of one of his many nicknames.

When he became an animal, he could let go of all the human worries and thoughts. The moments of peace could not last forever, and that he was acutely aware of. Still, the feeling of freedom, and the knowledge he could go anywhere he wished and do anything he pleased as the animal whose form he had taken on was fantastic.

And not at all forgetting all the mischief he could cause this way as well…

Any similar pleasant thoughts faded in mere seconds. For a little while, all that existed was he, the whistle, and the arrow that sent his heart sprinting a mile a minute. He hadn’t expected that.

Then came the pain, a sting in his shoulder. A smell of iron. Blood. He had been hit.

He looked up, hoping the hunter was going to have mercy on him.

Else, he’d have to bargain his way out of death. It wouldn’t be his first time with that.

"How was Loki with Angrboða AND Sigyn?"

Old art. But I still stand by it...and use the second panel as a react all the time XD.

New additions on my Pinterest for myth! sigyn style of dresses

Another preview of the same page from before. I just wanted Sigyn to match ;-;

[ryebread-x]

I realized I never really went into too much depth about my au/retelling of Myth! Sigyn. But I feel like talking about her, so here I go infodumping. I ended up making her more terrifying. But not in a "badass valkyrie" type of way. More in a "bloodthirsty, slightly murdery goddess" sort of way. She likes to wager sides of battle with either Odin,Freyja, Tyr, or even some valkyries. Whenever she wins, she revels in her victory. She's not the kindest goddess, either at least to most of the other gods. Odin isn't too fond of her.

When it comes to her relationship with Loki, they met when Loki witnessed Sigyn win a wager against Odin. Loki was impressed by Sigyn's cunning and ability to flaunt her victory in front of someone like the All-Father. When the two got to talking, Sigyn liked the fact that she felt Loki was on the same playing field as her. In their own individual ways, they are both kinda assholes. Though Loki's sheingains, while often getting the Aesir in trouble, are mostly harmless and sometimes helpful. The same can't really be said for Sigyn she often gets in a lot of trouble herself(though she always finds a way out of her sheingains). But they like that about eachother, neither of them are perfect.

However, she is still loyal to a fault, at least to those she can trust. She isn't stupid either she will take revenge out on those who she feels have wronged her or her loved ones. She cares, but sometimes that can be dangerous.

Anyways, thank you for listening to my ramblings.

What Norse myth books have you read already? I need new recs x

I don't think any of these are particularly new. Trying to make a list of all I've read. And granted, my attention span has gotten worse over the years.

The first book featuring the norse pantheon in any form I read was Neil Gaiman's "American Gods".

There's Diana Wynne Jones' "Eight Days of Luke" which served as inspiration for "American Gods", according to Neil Gaiman. Children's book.

There's also "Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman and his "Norse Mythology" retelling. Children's book.

I LOVED Louie Stowell's Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, if you have children or trouble getting through books, get this! It's hilarious and smart. I enjoyed it as an adult. Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Norse mythology.

I enjoyed the first two books by Joanne Harris as a teen, "Runemarks" and "Runelight." The first two (esp. the first) are fun and I love the Bart Simpson-esque portrayal of Loki. Unfortunately, the quality of later books focusing on Loki is terrible.

I unfortunately read Joanne Harris' "The Testament of Loki", first chapter is interesting, but he's unwillingly sharing a body with an annoying teen girl, and the way Harris deals with eating disorders is really bad. It's awful. Don't recommend.

I think Lyra Wolf's The Nine Worlds rising series are an easy read. I think she has a great comedic voice and the books are worth reading just for that, and I like the toxic Odin/Loki relationship. I do have complaints about them, such as the anachronistic language (e.g. Loki knowing what a Chihuahua is), and that Sigyn doesn't have flaws other than caring too much for her no-good brother. She also has the women are either saints or evil witches dichotomy going on in terms of portrayals of goddesses. I think the stakes are good in these books so that you keep reading them.

I enjoyed Cat Rector's "The Goddess of Nothing at All" A LOT. While it doesn't have my ideal morally gray portrayal of Sigyn yet, it did make Sigyn more complex than others have. I also like this book mainly because I am a sadist and I love whump and there's a lot of suffering on it. It's so sad you won't be laughing at the myth!Loki memes. I would avoid this book if you don't like whump. I do have criticisms about it, such as her Loki was a bit too nice for my taste and could have been worse (making him justified for cutting Sif's hair feels forced; he can still be a loveable and tragic asshole, you know?). But my tragedy-loving self loves this!

I was looking forward to Genevieve Gornichec's "The Witch's Heart", it has a cute start of Loki giving Angrboda her burnt heart, but she criminally made Angrboda and Loki boring as fuck. Angrboda conveniently doesn't remember anything and just fumbles her way inside a cave for a large portion of the book. And she is the POV we're following. WE ARE STUCK IN A CAVE SHE WON'T LEAVE. Loki's portrayal in this is one of the most cisheteronormative I've seen yet, and it's surprising the author managed this in a story where Loki's myth hijinks ensue and wears a dress (he impatiently yanks off because he felt emasculated). The author thinks having a lean build and no beard=queer. Loki only shows interest in women and feels emasculated while wearing a dress. I also happen to hate Skadi and her weird castration fetish in this book. Bitch wouldn't shut up about it. The good thing about this book is that there's no anachronisms, and I liked Hel's portrayal.

So confession, I had Kindle Unlimited trial briefly, and I read a bunch of Loki books, such as Lyra Wolf's.

I think(?) I read A.B. Frost's "Father of Monsters". It was quite short, but has nice illustrations, and Loki's endearing, even if a little shit. That both takes one for the team and also endangers the team.

I read (partially) some book about Loki escaping his punishment early and rejoining the Aesir, but it was criminally boring (it never described how Loki got out of situations and the prose was incredibly VAGUE) and seemed geared towards Norse pagans(Which I AM NOT). Had a spiritual conflict-avoiding vibe. It was called "Loki" but forgot the author's name and I accessed for free by Kindle Unlimited. I also didn't like that it referred to cops as "Tyr's warriors". FUCK COPS.

I have not finished reading Mike Vasich's "Loki". I think the man thinks MCU Loki is accurate to Norse mythology, because that's the only Loki I could picture (and he was adopted by Odin). And man spent way too long describing sensing "power levels" that I ended up getting bored and stopped reading. I've also seen some amusing excerpt from another of his books I have not read. But, if you're an author, don't spend a lot of time describing power levels, FFS! You'll bore the fuck out of your readers.

"Fjölskylda Loka: borð Hel"

🇬🇧: Loki's family: Hel's table.

I wanted to include as many symbolisms and characters possible into this piece. I'm certain you can tell who is who, such as Hel's servants and family members.

This honestly looked a lot better in my head, but here we are with the tragic angst!

[sigynoffidelity]

Sign could stare into Lokis eyes for hours. The more time she spent looking at him, the more beauty she found in his features, even the scarred lips where unique in they're on way. But the way he looked at her gave her goosebumps. Almost too intense. The way his lips moved to a reptilian way gave her shivers, it should scare her. Maybe she got too close, her words were too promising. The way he reacted to her soft praises seemed like he felt tortured by her, something which stung her heart. That he wasn't used to hear word of affirmation. A matter which grew the wish in her to praise him more.

She noticed him leaning in closer, but she didn't move. The sensation of his lips on hers still took her by surprise. Her mind told her that it wasn't right to do. A good girl wouldn't kiss a man before marriage. But her body was on a different side.

Without self control she leaned into the kiss, even if she had no experience at all, his lips felt warm, the touch gave her comfort and a racing heart in her chest on the same time. She moved her hands to softly place them on his chest, closing her eyes and embracing the fuzy feelings in her stomach.

‘ you wanna hurt me? go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. i’m an easy target. ’

Loki sat across from the woman he was infatuated with. He sat with his legs spread around the back of the backwards chair with his hand resting on the back rest. “Oh” he tutted and shook his head, his gold earring swaying from side to side and the moonlight catching the scars on his face. 

“Just because I took you against your will and tied you to a chair in my cabin in the middle of nowhere doesn’t necessarily mean I want to hurt you. I can see where you got confused but I would rather you not jump to conclusions” he smirked as his eyes looked her up and down.

Sigyn: Loki is no longer my boyfriend. Freyja: Thank the Norns, girl. Loki is the craziest person I've ever met in my life... Sigyn: Hold up, hold up. I meant he's now my fiance. Loki: What the Hel? Freyja: I'm so sorry... Freyja: That he's your fiance.
