"Twilight of the gods jormungandr"

I will just pretend nothing bad happened and embrace genderfluid jormi that chooses to be a pretty lady because she likes it. She's safe and sound with her family 💙🐍

[lokiinmediasideblog]

So for those that are planning to watch Twilight of the Gods and haven't yet. My review is the following:

It's very much a Zack Snyder plot but without the bad Snyder tropes of past movies (thinking especially of 300 here). It's edgy, has beautiful visuals (Snyder projects often do), and has plenty of equal opportunity sex scenes. Plenty of bi characters. Do they look like they'll kiss? They will and much more...

There are very interesting designs. I loved the voice acting and I'm glad Thor sounds much better than in the trailer (I think they edited what he actually says to avoid spoilers).

My main disappointment is the cliffhanger ending. I hope there's a S2 with some non-cliffhanger ending. I fear for the possibility of Netflix not renewing it and think all Netflix series seasons should never on cliffhangers.

It was definitely made with a lot of research. It takes its liberties, as there's some major differences, but I love how they adapted and altered things from the myths for the story's purposes. A lesser "not-like-Marvel" adaptation would have made Loki a Fire Giant/God a la Wagner. But they had the spider association instead!!

Something I really liked is that they made Loki sympathetic without turning him into an actual child. It's something I've seen a lot, and I'm just like "Cowards, there's plenty to work with without turning him into a child!" Loki feels very much like myth!Loki. He's very sympathetic, but you'll never forget that if he's helping, it's because the goals currently align. You'll be crying at the club for Loki, then go like "Oh shit! WTF Loki!?"

GOW has done antagonist Thor the best so far. For people whose Thor is their blorbo-from-myths (because some follow me), I must warn he's currently very much like Homelander (murderous, physically abusive, predatory) but without a fully developed reason to why he's like that YET. They implied interesting things, such as a fear of eternity and wants to die. If there's a second season, I hope it develops that further to make Thor more interesting. I didn't understand his weird fucked up relationship with Jormungandr, and don't think it was necessary to turn Jormungandr into a sexy snake lady to make Loki and his family sympathetic.

I thought his powers were very cool though and you're like "No wonder this guy is so hard to defeat." Like do you ever go like "How the fuck can this guy with a hammer defeat so many people? The plot armor is ridiculous." Here you won't. Actual storm good powers. And there's some very cool shit like he can do. Fight scenes are great.

I tried with twilight of the gods. I really did. I sat through so many bad pronunciations, so many weird stylistic choices. But jormungandr as a sexy lady broke me. I cant do this anymore

[kazz-brekker]

slightly cowardly of twilight of the gods to genderbend jormungandr the world serpent into a woman for the purposes of her having a situationship with thor but also it's very funny so i'll allow it

Fenrir

Fenrir is the great wolf in Norse Mythology who breaks free from his chains at Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods, kills Odin, and is then killed by Odin’s son Vidarr. Fenrir is the son of the trickster god Loki and brother of the World Serpent Jormungandr and the jotunn Hel.

Loki Devotional Ideas: Halloween Edition

(Do you seriously think our loveable God of “fuck around, find out”, “constant sugar high insanity” and “what’s the worst that could happen?” wouldn’t love a holiday about dressing up scary, watching scary movies, telling scary stories and pranking people?)

- Watch horror movies. Any will do! Slashers (e.g. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween), Splatter (e.g. Saw, Hostel, Hellraiser), Monster (e.g. American Werewolf in London, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon), Sci-Fi (e.g. Alien, M3GAN, Predator), Psychological (e.g. The Woman in Black, The Ring, Silence of the Lambs), whatever floats your boat! (Yes, this does include kids horror.)

- Listen to spooky tunes. I don’t just mean Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Ray Parker Jr’s “Ghostbusters”, and so on; listen to the Silver Scream albums by Ice Nine Kills, “Halloweentown” by Dark Divine, fucking anything by Motionless in White or Rob Zombie. The spookier, the better!

- PRANKS! Give someone a quick scare, but remember to do clean up/soothing afterwards!

- Give Loki his own Halloween bucket and put some candy in it for him.

- Spooky tarot readings! Use tarot or oracle sets themed around horror in any way. I have an oracle set literally based on horror movies (and it has a card called “The Trickster” based on IT and it is 100% a Loki card. I’ll talk about it in detail another time.)

- If you have some sort of statue or digital representation of Loki, why not dress him up? You can even ask him if he’d like anything in particular.

- Decorate your house how YOU want to. Get out the lumbering, scary animatronics or stick to the kid friendly banners and plastic scene setters and lights. Whatever works for you!

- Indulge in whatever spooky delights you desire. Read that shitty CreepyPasta from 2009, read that Goosebumps story, watch Twilight, play old horror/scary Flash games, eat chocolate till you poop nothing but it, listen to zombie apocalypse ambience, play with your Monster High dolls, WHATEVER! JUST. INDULGE.

- Carve a pumpkin. Give Loki a pumpkin as well (sure he can’t physically carve it in our realm but you could always use your minds eye to translate what he carved as close as you can). Make pumpkin pie from the insides.

- Enjoy the autumn leaves falling, the nights growing longer, the full moon in the sky and all the hallmarks of the autumn season.

- Give out candy to trick r treaters. Laugh at their horrible jokes (convince them you genuinely found it funny), play along with their “tricks”, compliment their outfits. Loki loves kids, and you bet your ass he’d love them going home happy with not just candy but someone playing along with them!

- Draw horror art, write horror stories, create spooky music. Use the time to be spookily creative. And it doesn’t need to be groundbreaking - if you wanna make a Jeff the Killer rip-off, you go and you make that Jeff the Killer rip-off!

- For those who observe Samhain; include Loki in your celebration/tradition, even if only a small inclusion.

- Tell Loki a scary campfire story from your youth. Hell, if you wanna ask him to tell you one, go for it!

- Include his family if you can! Leave candy or toys for the twins, include wolves or snakes in your decorations for Fenrir and Jormungandr, make a foam tombstone dedicated to Hel and Garmr, make decorative potions themed around Angrboda and Sigyn. Whatever way you can think of to include them, it’s worth a shot!

- For pet owners; if your furry buddy is alright with it, dress them up or give them seasonal items! Not all animals (e.g. cats) like dressing up, so try for Halloween themed toys, bedding, enrichment and treats! Bonus points if you dress up your companion to resemble Fenrir, Jormungandr or Sleipnir.

- Get scented candles or incense that fits the season. Pumpkin, cinnamon, rain, apple - there’s plenty of options out there!

- If you do any Halloween baking, invite Loki or leave him some of your baked goods.

- Have a pumpkin spiced latte and OWN being a basic White bitch for five minutes. You enjoy every slurp of that pumpkin spiced latte like your life depends on it. Don’t matter if you are POC, disabled, LGBTQIA+, whatever else - if you wanna be a basic autumn White bitch for a minute, you go and be that basic autumn White bitch! (Bonus if you add whipped cream or anything else you like just for the Hell of it.)

- In summary; HAVE FUCKING FUN. Indulge yourself, play along with games and pranks, take in everything the season has to offer.

Twilight Of The Thunder God -Amon Amarth

There comes Fenris' twin

His jaws are open wide

The serpent rises from the waves

Jormungandr twists and turns

Mighty in his wrath

The eyes are full of primal hate

Thor! Odin's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits

Thor! Hlödyn's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarök awaits

Vingtor rise to face

The snake with hammer high

At the edge of the world

Bolts of lightning fills the air

As Mjölnir does its work

The dreadful serpent roars in pain

Thor! Odin's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits

Thor! Hlödyn's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarök awaits

Mighty Thor grips the snake

Firmly by its tongue

Lifts his hammer high to strike

Soon his work is done

Vingtor sends the giant snake

Bleeding to the depth

Twilight of the thundergod

Ragnarök awaits

Twilight of the thundergod

Twilight of the thundergod

Twilight of the thundergod

Twilight of the thundergod

Thor! Odin's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits

Thor! Hlödyn's son, protector of mankind

Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarök awaits

This is how I imagined Jormungandr, the serpent large enough to encircle the Earth and son of Loki

[hopelesspyromaniac]

I wrote this lovely cow poem about Jormungandr in the comments section of a cover of Twilight of the Thunder God and thought I’d share it here too.

My name is snaek

My skin is hard

I wrap around

All of Midgard

My tongue is poison

When I’m displaced

Then Thor will come

I’ll lick his face

[lokiinmediasideblog]

I found the series entertaining and it's a good shiny toy in my enclosure.

BUT...

I think my least favorite part of Twilight of The Gods, past my huge complaint of the cliffhanger is the portrayal of Thor and Jormungandr's relationship. It's unnecessary to turn Jormungandr into some sexy snake lady (who for some unexplained reason has to fuck Thor) that Thor banished as a child to make Loki's family sympathetic. They're already sympathetic without that!! And swings too hard on the other direction.

Also, I don't understand WHY or what Jormungandr gains from fucking Thor. And is it consensual? Because Thor banished her as a child.

I thought she was Jarnsaxa at first and was disappointed to find out she was Jormungandr. And does she have two aspects existing simultaneously? Because the giant snake is also there while she's a sexy snake lady.

And what did Loki mean that he would do a deed for her? As if trying to spare her from it? Was Loki going to shapeshift...

It confused the fuck out of me and is unnecessary in my opinion.

Very brief descriptions of Norse Pagan denominations and other terms. 

“Denominations” are a modern construct, and typically divided by arbitrary definitions of who or what constitutes as a worshipable “god” or not. Keep in mind definition of a “god” is already loose and blurry in Norse paganism, and you’re likely to inevitably find some asshole who thinks Loki is an evil Satan, or that Surtr isn’t “actually a god” this can’t be worshiped, or other silly and arbitrary boundaries.

Ultimately as a person living in this modern time, you can worship any “category” of Norse beings however you want to. There’s no perfectly (re)constructed way to worship, there no “right” way. But I hope these very loose definitions help you navigate what people mean when they use these terms.

Norse Pagan / Polytheist 

A person who worships Norse gods, but does not necessarily draw from Norse culture or historical contexts; The worship of Norse gods but not necessarily in a “Norse way”

Heathenry 

Another term for Norse Pagan, but can arbitrarily refer to Norse paganism that draws influence from historical context. A practitioner of Heathenry is a Heathen. 

Forn Sed & Folketro

Literally “Old Custom” or “True to the Folk” ; This usually refers to Folk Scandanavian Heathenry, thus practiced by people who were raised in a Scandanavian community that believe in and or worship the Norse gods, land spirits, and more. 

Unfortunately there are Non-Scandanavian White Supremacists who occasionally used the term Folkish (or Volkish) as a means to gatekeep Heathenry. 

Aesir

A tribe of divine beings ; gods

Vanir

A tribe of divine beings, or gods, typically associated with nature and the cycles of life and death (including life, death, fertility, and sex). 

Jötunn

Giants ; entities that are often associated with elemental and natural qualities such as Fire as Surtr, or Winter as Skadi, or even Lightning as Farbauti. 

Asatru 

Literally “True to the Aesir” ; The worship of the Norse gods who are associated with the tribe of Aesir. Some gods are associated with multiple groups of divinity, such as Freya and Freyr being from the tribe of Vanir and welcomed into the tribe of Aesir. A practitioner is called Asatruar. Some people are extremely rigid in their definition of Asatru to mean only the Aesir are worshiped, others use it loosely as a synonym for Heathenry or Norse Paganism.

Vanatru

Literally “True to the Vanir” ; The worship of gods who belong to the tribe of Vanir. This typically includes land-spirits and elves, as well, as they are entities associated with Vanir such as Freyr. A practitioner is called Vanatruar. 

Lokean / Lokitru 

Someone who worships Loki. Originally it was meant as someone who worships Loki in general, but has since become a term for someone who worships Loki primarily, as well as his extended family. The term originated due to hostility and gatekeeping in Asatru communities for deeming Loki and Fenrir as “evil” comparing them to Satan or Judas. 

Jotnatru 

Literally “True to the Jotun” ; The worship of Jotun and primordial giants primarily, such as Ymir and Surtr. Can also extend to other primordial entities that otherwise do not necessarily belong to the Aesir or Vanir groups, or who overlap with the group of Jotun, such as Skadi or trolls. A practitioner is called Jotnatruar. 

Rökkatru

Literally “True to the Twilight” ; the term was coined by Raven Kaldera, though many Rokkatruar have severed their ties with the author for their various problematic writings and behaviors. It is the worship of “dark” gods and the dark aspects of gods. Such gods include Loki, Angrboda, Jormungandr, Fenrir, and Hela, but may also include beings such as Surtr for their afterlife and aspects connected to Ragnarok, and may also include other typical gods such as Freyr or Tyr but with a focus on their dark aspects (Tyr may be a god of Courage and Justice but in a potential Rokkatruar lens, he may be worshiped as a fallen king, an oathbreaker, and Freyr has historical evidence of being involved with death). A practitioner of this, as you may have guessed, is Rokkatruar. 

Thursatru

Literally “True to the Thurs / Thorn” ; Though they are not necessarily Norse Pagan, I wanted to include them here due to the fact they borrow from Norse cosmology. 

They’ve been referred to as Norse Satanism and Left Hand Path, which is accurate in that they do, in fact, fuse Left Hand Path and Satanic Gnosis as the core aspect of their beliefs, but with a Norse “skin” so to speak.

This is an anti-cosmic modern religion that goes out of its way to denounce “cosmic” gods and worship adversarial beings as enemies of the gods. Thurs is another word for giant, but the main webpage for Thursatru states that the Jotunn are part of the “cosmic” beings that are adversaries to their beliefs. They use Satanic Apotheosis and acquiring the Black Light/Flame of Knowledge as a means to denounce “The Demiurge” and take a pantheistic view that Odin, YHWH, Zeus, etc are oppressive beings that humans should be freed from. 

Much of their practice is kept behind highly expensive and hard to find books (though some half-scans are floating around). In some of their work they specify Loki and Surtr as the male fire gods, and Hela and Gullveig-as-Angrboda as female ice goddesses, thus cultivating a very typical male-female duality dynamic.  

What makes a god? — The label of “god” is very, very loose in Norse paganism. You can worship beings that are not Aesir nor Vanir, such as Angrboda or Surtr, and some beings that are either Aesir or Vanir were not known to be worshiped, such as Hodr. Some claim Loki, for example, is a god because he was accepted as a brother by oath to Odin and accepted to the Aesir tribe, and some say not because he was not originally Aesir and is technically a Jotunn due to his Jotnar parents. However, this should not stop you from worshiping or honoring beings because many entities, including elves, trolls, giants, land spirits, and even specifically female spirits are worshiped and honored in Norse and Scandanavian folk belief. There are no true “good” or “evil” beings that you can and cannot worship. There are worshipers of Fenrir and there are worshipers of Loki, and there are worshipers of Aesir and Vanir who focus on their dark qualities such as Tyr and Freyr as mentioned before. 

Fulltrui

Literally “Full Trust” ; A god in which you have established a deep relationship and have decided to worship them primarily or above others. 

Patron and Matron are monikers established by Neo-Wiccan belief by the interpretation that every person is guarded, protected by, or parented by a facet of the God and Goddess of Wicca as a pair of gods that are Male and Female. You don’t have to use any of these terms or establish these kinds if relationships, they are not requirements no matter what the pagan community may have you believe.

Landvaettr

Literally “Land Wights” or land spirits, these are beings that live in nature; they can represent a plot of land, or a specific feature such as a particular rock or lake in a more animistic sense. 

Futhark 

The first seven letters in the runic “alphabet” in the same fashion that the “alphabet” is named after Alpha and Beta. There are different futharks, the Elder Futhark is often used for current magic practices. There are other runic alphabets, as well. 

Rune Magic as we know today is not historical, it is a modern invention. While there were certainly historical uses of staves, their use was during a period of Christian and Anglo-Saxon influence.

More on Runes by Thorraborinn

Galdr 

Literally meaning “chant” or possibly “spell” ; Not much is known about historical galdr, but in today’s modern practice it typically includes both chanting runes, as well as using runes in magic. It is most often used in Anglo-Saxon and Christian influenced magic. 

Galdrastafir / Staves 

Literally “Magic Staff” ; Essentially sigils made of runes or rune-like symbols. They were most often used after Anglo-Saxon and Christian influence, typically for protection, gaining luck, and representing Saints.  There are different kinds of Staves as you can read more about by Justin Foster

Seidr

Literally meaning “String” ; It is a particular practice of Norse magic. It literally means “string” and is often tied to literal weaving and spinning of threads with a distaff. It also utilized trance to separate the soul from the body to read fortunes. 

Seidkona / Seidmadr / Seidberendr (And Ergi/Argr)

A practitioner of Seidr. 

Seidkona literally means “Seid Woman: or “String Woman” but usually a Volva or Spakona were the titles of female magic practitioners who also practiced seidr.

Seidmadr, literally “Seid Man” or “String Man” and was a male practitioner of Seidr. A male practitioner was considered “Ergi” which often is translated as “unmanly.” Odin was a Seidmadr and considered Ergi for it. Freyr’s priests were often considered Ergi as they used staves (a phallic symbol typically used by women). 

Seidberendr, literally “String bearer” and has been speculated to be a possible third gender or transgender equivalent term applied to men who underwent a trance to magically become women so that they could properly perform seidr as women. 

Spadom / Spá

Literally “see” ; a practice of divination. A practitioner was usually a woman called a Spakona. 

Volva 

Literally “wand” ; A sorceress who performed various magic, including seidr and spa for a given community, such as divining the weather. 

Vitki 

Literally “Witty” or “Wise one” ; A male sorcerer

Trolldom

Scandanavian Folk magic which encompasses many different kinds of magic, such as Galdr and Seidr. 

Wyrd

Wyrd literally means “Weird” and is the fate that connects you to all things. A common misnomer for wyrd is the threads of fate, and commonly it is beleve you can “weave” wyrd. “Weaving” is also a misnomer as the Norns do not “weave” fate, but rather twine the ends of someone’s fate together (hence the importance of the distaff and knotwork in seidr). Wyrd is malleable and can be influenced.

Orlog

Orlog literally means “Primal Law” and is a kind of fate that is given to you at birth and cannot change, such as parentage. Orlog is carved by the Norns into wood. 

Luk

Literally “Luck” ; every person is born with so much luck. It is inherited through your family, as well, carried on by the Fylgja of your family or ancestors. You can gain or lose luck throughout life. 

Fylgja 

A spirit that carries on your family and ancestors luck. It is also the embodiment of your fate that can appear to you in dreams or visions, especially in times of extreme changes, such as death in a family. It may typically come in the form of an animal or a woman. 

Hamingja

A spirit that embodies your personal luck and spirit. In Seidr, you can separate your Hamingja from your body to travel and gain knowledge, as well as aid others. Hamingja can manifest as different animals, especially by wearing the furs, skins, or feathers of those animals. 

Heiti / Kenning

A poetic way to refer to something or someone. The ocean, for example, was sometimes called the “whale’s way” or hwæl-weġ, or one of many, many kennings, or heiti, for Odin was “Father of Galdr” or Galdraföðr.

“Twilight of the thunder god”, Amon Amarth  (Sabaton version here)

[whencyclopedia]

FENRIR is the great wolf in Norse Mythology who breaks free from his chains at Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods, kills Odin, and is then killed by Odin’s son Vidarr. Fenrir is the son of the trickster god Loki and brother of the World Serpent Jormungandr and the jotunn Hel.

He is also known as the Fenris Wolf (also given as Fenris-wolf) and Vanargand (“monster of van”) usually understood to mean “creature of expectation” because he was prophesied to participate in the destruction of the gods. His name is pronounced Fen-rear, and he was born of the union of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. A prophecy foretold that the children of Loki would cause the gods of Asgard trouble and so they were taken from Jotunheim, land of the giants where they lived with their mother, and brought to Asgard. Odin then hurled Jormungandr into the sea, dropped Hel into the depths of the realm of Niflheim, and, eventually, had Fenrir chained to a rock. All three children would avenge themselves at Ragnarök.
