Sigyn: [excited] Look at all the pretty dresses!

Loki: [smiling indulgently] Alright, my dear. I'm sure we can spare a few minutes to look around...

Sigyn: Oh, this rack is all in is in your size!

Loki: WHERE?!?!?!?!?!?

Sigyn.

The one that burns the britghtes in the darkest moments. And the one that all to manny forgott.

Her name means "freind of victory" and is the wife of "the burden of Sigyn's arms" Loki.

While Loki had a love afair with Angraboda, Sigyn is his true wife. And no matter what he did she is true and loyal to him. Shes listed as one of the Asir and one of the disir by snorri, unlike Loki whos a Jötunn.

For me shes a goddess of strenght in tuff times, a goddess of strengt and light in the dark. This is also why for me she is included during Disablot, when the nights are long and the the world still cold, to find strength in the one that stod for endless nights awaiting light and reelife.

I find her also as a goddess of victory, to do her name. I find her surprisingly innocent compared to her husband, with a good nature, but very choosy of who she helps.

"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.

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.

Absolutely stunning piece from Johanna Polle (website / Instagram / Etsy shop) titled "Loki's Kin."

Loki: Hold on, Thor, Sigyn is whispering sexy things in my ear.

Sigyn: [whispering] When we get home tonight, I'm going to wash, deep condition, moisturize, detangle, fluff, and brush your hair before wrapping it in silk so it's protected when you sleep. Loki: I'm so turned on right now.

[godsofhumanity]

Sigyn: I can't believe you assassinated Baldr! Loki: Well, 'assassinated' implies it was politically motivated. I killed him because he was a dick, so technically I murdered him Sigyn: That's not better!

[lokahjarta]

We imagine Loki's punishment in the mouth of the cave. After all, He is the god of many mouths, Hveðrungr, Gullveig's last stop, and Stitchlip. Why would he not be in the mouth?

Because you don't put out a fire by giving it, O Loptr, fine mountain air, sunlight, or wind.

You don't squelch a light with more light. You leave it in darkness to rot.

O, that dark primordial Thing. That cold-blooded Prometheus of the frozen north. How do you kill the deathless? You torture it to finality. Liver meet eagle. Sisyphus get happy. Loki, meet hole. (tale as old as time)

You leave him as deep as you can get him. Deep as the quick, that Blood Gave Loðurr.

And you leave that Goatballed Jester without the only thing he ever wanted. An audience. The sound of laughter. Good company.

And you leave that thrice bound sucker there to rot, wrapped round with the promise that your children, too, will be snuffed out like votive candles. Rot with them now and crawl home to your daughter. Crawling King Snake, welcome home.

That's what makes Sigyn so compelling. Sigyn, Victory Woman, The Thing With Feathers -

Rabbit says; "Joy To The Fettered,"

She flies down the tunnel, she comes heartbroken, she comes alone.

This is an Oubliette - who would choose to come but the Victorious?

This isn't Orpheus come to find her blushing bride.

This is Persephone making her bed with the mother of Monsters.

And she comes out again, from the depths which grant no mercy, with neither light, or joy, or wind, or sky. Just a bowl of poison, thirstier once emptied.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, comes out of the cave and the stink and the rot. And does she stop a moment? Does she breathe the alpine air and sigh and maybe, just maybe, weep?

We know just this. She goes back.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, knows that Nothing Lasts Forever. And someday, we know, all hell breaks loose.

I completely forgot about this little doodle that I made some time ago!!! But anyway-

Here it is!

“Loki and Sigyn shopping in Midgard”

They decided to visit Midgard as if it was the most casual thing for everyone around

Buddy Request: are you a Loki obsessed high fantasy lover?

I would really like to connect with fellow Loki fans who want to rant about/analyze Loki and Thor's psychology, family dynamics, Asgardian society, Jotunheim, magic/seiðr, and the Nine Realms. Ideas/thoughts that aren't canon-compliant with the MCU are more than welcome!

Here are some fics with these types of themes that I have thoroughly enjoyed and been inspired by:

Ásgarðrian Galdr by Valerie_Vancollie

Bargaining by proantagonist ( @proantagonista ) [thank you SO MUCH for the rec @alwida10!]

Frostbite by Maiden_of_Asgard

Once More With Empathy by Kairyn ( @bfaymiller )

A Fairytale Beginning by the_lady_amphitrite ( @the-lady-amphitrite )

Let me set the scene:

For the past year and a half, I've been working on developing a longfic featuring a Thor 2011 Loki and an OC Sigyn. Honestly, I don't think that I'll get around to posting it anytime soon (there's still so much work to be done on it), but it's constantly on my mind. It's sort of a hybrid concept of the MCU, Norse Mythology, my own ideas, OCs, and magic systems. It has an epic scope with multiple arcs and characters from most of the Nine Realms. Do you like characters with wings? I got you covered. An imminent threat to the Nine Realms? Check. An in-depth analysis of Ásgarðr and Jǫtunheimr's history uncovered during Loki's identity crisis? A Jǫtunn OC? A Laufey that never wanted to lose their child? Check, check, and check.

I've found it hard to talk to people about all this because it involves a LOT of worldbuilding. Epic fantasy definitely isn't for everyone and this will not be a "light" read. Some non-fanfic stories that have inspired me along the way include the Roots of Chaos series by Samantha Shannon (The Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night) and Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. So if you like those types of stories, you might like the ideas I come up with.

If you relate to anything I've said, I also want to mention that I would love to hear about your ideas as well! If you feel trapped inside your own head and feel hesitant to "info-dump" on people, I am the person for you. And hey, maybe we can inspire each other :) Fanfiction is not about gatekeeping, and I have been unabashedly inspired by so many different takes on Loki that I've read along the way.

Sending this out into the Tumblr void, hoping it finds the right people!
