‐-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blurb: To say your life changed in a matter of hours would be an understatement.
The night before, you were alone in your room, a place that wasn’t even in this realm. But just twenty-four hours later, you were in Asgard, starting fresh, and on the back of a giant beast with probably the most pompous, condescending, and insufferable god that’s ever lived.
All this because Thor just so happened to crash through your roof. The norns are mocking you, surely…
‐-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clinking of glass jars was the only sound. Bottles moved from your table up onto a shelf, no longer needed now that your chore was complete. Another round of elixirs, for what exactly you weren’t sure, you never kept track anymore. They were always useful for the elves.
Useful. That was what they always said. That seems to be all you were nowadays.
You sighed, breaking the silence in your tiny room. This was one of the largest outposts the light elves had in Alfheim, one of the few strongholds they had when the Light temple was not within their control, as it was now. Regardless of that, this was your home – the only one you knew, at least.
The jars were abandoned after you took a few strides to arrive at your bookshelf, a finger wandering across the spines of books you've read a hundred times. Another sigh, after you found no interest in reading one of them yet again. Your eyes scanned the room, filled with nothing but a wooden chest next to your bed and a table with a few chairs by a window. How mundane it felt. You thought you'd be accustomed to it by now. Being a tool of war must have made you immune to the comfort of consistency.
You shook your head at the thought, reminding yourself not to be so pessimistic. The elves cared for you, gave you a home. A goddess left with nothing and no one, they could have left you. But they took you in, and you had to help them in return. You weren't an elf, their war was simply something you couldn't possibly understand, that was all.
That's what you had been telling yourself for at least a century now.
The thought was shoved away again as you decided to retrieve your lyre from your chest. Sweet melodies that were plucked from its strings were among the few things you never tired of.
Then there was a sound.
Sound was the wrong word. A boom, a crash, an explosion. Something like that came from the distance. Normal, considering the constant warring within the real and therefore far from drawing attention. But this time it felt different.
Almost like…thunder?
You squinted at the window, seeing a flash of blue rocket into the sky. You took a single step to investigate before it happened.
It burst through your roof, the cacophony of destruction so shocking that you flew back until your back hit the wall by your bed with a hand over your chest, desperately trying to calm your pounding heart. The early morning sun was just barely over the horizon, leaving little light to help you see just what was before you. The dust was settling, thinning enough that you could make out some monstrous object in the center, but ultimately you were stumped.
Until it moved.
You jumped again as the entity twitched and groaned, slowly sitting up.
Okay…this was a man then. He slowly and clumsily rose to his feet, standing so high that his head was poking into the massive hole he had just made. He wouldn't even fit in the room if the roof was still there.
Based on that alone – well, and the lingering sparks of lightning – you had an idea of exactly who this was.
You heard a curse from him as he rolled his shoulders, turning around to have a look at where he was. His dazed eyes landed on you. He froze.
Silence. Then…
"Hey."
How eloquent, you thought to yourself. A son of Odin literally smashes into your home and can barely offer a greeting in return. "Hello," you replied, your disbelief at, well, everything in front of you, overwhelmed by the fear of the god. You knew all the stories, knew how much mayhem and carnage the Aesir would bring when crossed. You were not keen on becoming one of those stories.
Thor glanced up at the roof, then back down at you, only about half his size. "Hope I uh…didn't scare ya too much." The slur in his speech was stronger than the smell of alcohol emanating from him, and that was an impressive feat. He snapped his fingers, leaving you wondering what he was asking from you. Until the whir of electrified metal sounded and the signature form of Mjolnir rammed through your wall and into his waiting hand.
"Eh…sorry, 'bout all that. Lost control of Mjolnir for a sec," he shrugged.
"I…understand?" Really, you didn't, not in the slightest. But what would anyone say to that?
From the newly installed skylight came the flap of bird's wings until a caw sounded. A raven with blue-tipped feathers landed on one of the chunks of roof that was just barely staying in place.
You felt your heart nearly stop. With Thor here, there was no secret who that raven represented.
And yet…it didn't even look at tou. It's eyes scanned your room but skipped right over you. Like you were invisible.
Another caw rose from its beak, aimed at Thor.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm gettin' there. Can't you see I'm busy." Thor gestured towards you with his hammer, drawing the bird's eyes to you. Only this time they stayed. Noticing you.
You had a feeling you knew why, but thought it strange regardless.
The raven stared at you, hints of green flickering across its black eyes. "Well," Thor grunted, turning towards your door. How you dreaded his departure. As terrible as his entrance was, you worried for the door that he definitely wouldn't fit through. "I got shit to do, so uh…see ya, I guess." A hand was carelessly waved at you before reaching for the door. To your surprise and palpable relief, he managed to squeeze through without doing more than disturbing the dirt that settled on the walls.
And that was it. Thor left. But the raven remained.
For a moment you considered saying somthing to it. But this raven was a messenger, and you weren't sure just how much material it had to deliver already.
"Muninn!" Thor shouted from outside. The bird looked at you just a second longer before taking off after Thor. With the roar of hundreds of bird's wings and the silence that followed, the ordeal was over.
Twelve hours. That was all it took.
You were sitting on your bed, preparing to rest for the night. A bit earlier than usual, but cleaning the destruction left behind by the god of thunder was more than enough work for one. Stone wasn't easy to move after all.
Three knocks, thunderous and heavy, nothing like the knock of any elf you knew. You were too tired to care exactly who needed you at the moment and simply went to answer it, intending to send them away as soon as possible. It could be Ymir for all you cared, now was not the time.
Or so you thought. Upon opening the door you found Thor, once again. Not alone this time. An old man stood in front of him, two ravens taking off from his shoulders and into your room.
Suddenly you wished it was Ymir at your door. At least he wouldn't have sucked the fatigue out of you as Odin did.
"Pardon the intrusion, miss. Mind if we come in?" You nodded silently, still processing the scene before you. Thor was close behind his father as he entered.
"Please, take a seat at–" You stopped mid gesture, realizing your table was no more than splinters now.
Oding chuckled, sounding friendly. "My son's handiwork, I'm sure. Part of the reason I'm here, actually." He reached in his pocket while Thor dug a bottle of mead from somewhere (you didn't want to know where) and started chugging it down. Odin held out his hand, prompting you to do the same.
Coins were dropped into your palm.
Absolutely bemused, you looked back at him.
"For the roof," Odin explained. "Thor breaks just about everything he finds, so I've made a habit of compensating his victims."
"Oh, um…thank you?" was all you said. That was it?
He pulled up a chair from against a wall, the only chair to survive Thor's fall, and sat down, requesting you to sit on your bed. Odin seemed to ignore his son completely then.
"Now, my dear, you have me curious." You cringed at the pet name he used but said nothing. "I don't pay too much attention to elves, but never did I find a goddess to be among them…where did you come from, exactly?"
His tone was light but the sting of something lying underneath his words shone through. He was clearly irked that he didn't know about you. "I've lived here my entire life, actually." You tried to sound as confident and collected as you could despite your heart feeling like it was about to spring from your chest.
"Really? From the look of you I'd say you're Aesir."
"I'm of Asgardian descent, on my mother's side."
A grey eyebrow rose. Not out of curiosity. Surprise. Like he knew something.
You didn't dare ask.
"Those though," he pointed halfheartedly at your arms, where tattoos marked your shoulders and extended to your elbows on both arms, but only your left had a thin line down your forearm that ended to your knuckles. Runes were drawn on your middle fingers, though you had no idea what any of these markings were for. "Those are Vanir."
The horror of the situation was settling in. Odin found a goddess with Vanir symbols on them hiding from him. Truly not the finest way to go out. You swallowed to moisten your dry throat. "I…I'm Vanir on my father's side. I've had them for as long as I can remember," you replied weakly.
You flinched when Odin laughed jovially. "Relax, my dear, I'm just asking questions, I don't mean to scare you." As reassuring as he sounded, you couldn't take his words to heart. Thor had no reason to be here after all, other than intimidation.
Said unnecessary god offered a reverberating belch at that moment, proving your point. His father shot him an annoyed look before returning his attention to you. "I take it you don't know your parents?"
He already knew. He seemed to know a lot about you despite admitting he didn't know you existed moments ago. Those twelve hours since Thor busted into your life, that was all he needed to find out. The concept was as terrifying as it was creepy.
"No," you said sadly, eyes falling for a second. "The light elves found me as a child and took me in."
Odin hummed, dissatisfied if you had to guess. "So you don't know of any spells they may have cast on you? Are there any spells you put on yourself?" You shook your head. The old god's voice grew just a bit darker. "Then why couldn't my ravens see you?"
A shiver ran down your spine, seeing how displeased he was at your lack of explanation thus far. You quickly elaborated, "I've always had a natural immunity to certain types of magic. I assume whatever magic your ravens have is among them. And perhaps…" you were grasping at straws, trying to answer the question you had asked yourself that morning. "Perhaps the immunity loses effect if someone your ravens can track interacts with me." Sure, that works.
More than you thought it would, seeing how Odin relaxed a bit and nodded. "That would make sense. They did notice you after Thor pointed you out, and they had trouble before you answered the door."
You had to bite your tongue to hold in the outburst the statement incited. He had been trying to spy on you up until now, experimenting. It wasn't something you appreciated in the slightest. "So what, you just stay here, make protection spells and staves and other crap for a bunch of elves?"
The quick swerve into the topic left you dumbfounded. You sputtered in shock, "W-well, yes. I owe them my life so it's only fitting that I help them."
Odin leaned back in his chair and folded his hands in his lap, the old wood creaking at the motion. "Well, if you ask me…that's a waste." Again, you were baffled at the sudden statement.
"You see, I have a little project that I’m working on. Something that will benefit all the realms once it’s completed. And based on my findings, I think you’re perfect for it…" He trailed off, staring at you expectantly. It took a moment for you to realize what he wanted.
"Eivor."
“Eivor. That’s a beautiful name, very fitting for you.” The more he said the slower your surprise faded. It would seem that with all his questions answered he was much more…respectful, gentle. A part of you still recalled all the stories about him and how cruel he was, but in that moment you thought he wasn’t as bad as everyone said. Then again, he did crush your hope of finding change by admitting he wanted something from you.
Odin must have sensed your disappointment. He stood from his chair and paced as he continued. “Now, I know what that looks like. If I came all this way because I need you for something then I’m no better than the elves, letting someone with value waste away with simple tasks. But that’s not the case here.” He paused, turning back to look at you with kindness and some type of…intensity that you couldn’t describe. “I don’t want to just use you and throw you out, no. No, this is an invitation. To live among your kind in Asgard.
“Do you know what that means, my dear? Once you’re done with this tiny, tiny chore for me you’ll have a world of possibilities. You can move on to something better.”
Try as you might to remain cautious, the flicker of hope rose up within you. Something better, something other than elves coming to you when they wanted something, more than just waiting to be needed.
Again, Odin saw through your thoughtful silence. “Think about it. In Asgard, you’d be serving the realms, protecting people, promoting peace.” He wandered to your shelves of elixirs that the light elves were waiting for you to deliver. “No more useless trinkets, no more sitting around while they constantly war.” He turned his head to you while lazily lifting his arm to the shelf. A single finger extended and tapped one of the bottles, tipping it off the shelf and shattering on the floor.
Odin let you ruminate to the sound of the glass for a moment, then went back to the chair he abandoned earlier. He sat up straight, his posture displaying what a powerful god he was. Contrary to that, his next statement was soft, like he was comforting a scared child. “You said you owed the elves your life. Well, you’ve served them for more than a lifetime, haven’t you? Your debt is paid. Isn't it time you made your own choice?”
It was so much information to take in. It felt exhilarating, the thought of not only something new, but finding other beings that didn’t just pretend to care for you just to get what you could offer them.
Even so, you were still scared. Not just by the suspicion you felt, knowing this could easily not be what it seems. It was the…novelty of it all. Something you knew nothing about. Perhaps the security of the mundane wasn’t as bad as you had always thought.
And yet, the chance of finding your own purpose was too tempting to ignore.
“Forgive me for rushing you,” Odin began. “But I’m afraid I’ll need an answer now. I would give you time to think, but unless you don’t plan on moving a muscle while you do so, any raven I leave with you might lose track of you. And I can’t stay forever, I’m a busy god after all.”
The clock was ticking, and your one chance was here. You could finally be something you wanted to be. And perhaps get away from all the coercion and lies. Away from wondering how truthful the elves' declarations of gratitude were. Away from wondering if any of them loved you as you thought they did.
But many of them didn’t. And you knew it. You just didn’t want to accept it.
And you were tired of it.
Odin was right. You wouldn’t wait for your problems to go away. You would find the place you were supposed to be. A deep breath passed through your lungs, your steeled determination showing in your eyes. A determination that Odin smiled at.
“I’ll go,” You said, feeling the rush of excitement as you spoke.
In the background, Thor raised his now empty bottle of mead like he was celebrating, although you doubted he was sober enough to really be paying attention. Odin stood from his chair with a clap of his hands and a big smile adorning his face. There was something almost sinister about it, but you ignored it. Whatever was tipping you off couldn’t be worse than wasting this chance.
“Perfect! Then let’s get going!” Odin said, his ravens gliding back over to him. One, who you recognized as Muninn, morphed into tattoos on his right arm. The other, this one with red tipped feathers, stood on his shoulder, ready for orders.
You also got to your feet. “Wait! Can I have a moment to pack my things?”
A chuckle. “My dear, you don’t need anything here. I’ll provide a room, new clothes, and Asgard has an expansive public library that likely has all those books of yours.” Your eyes went to the wooden chest at the end of your bed.
You couldn’t leave those behind. Nothing had been as constant as their presence. “Could…could I bring just a few things?”
“If it’s something that can’t be replaced.”
You nodded and rushed to the chest, opening it and taking the instruments within, handling them with care. You’d had both your entire life. A simple bone flute, with carvings of patterns like the ones on your arms. It was old, scratched, and chipped in a few places, but the sound was still rich. The other was a lyre, a simple rectangular shape with no special decorations that also had its share of nicks, though the strings were new. You always replaced them when it was necessary. Both of them went into their respective thin leather bags, then you returned to Odin. He didn’t even look at them, like they meant nothing to him. Which, to be fair, they probably did.
“Ready, then?”
You nodded, watching Thor reach his father’s side while the raven, presumably Huginn if your memory served, took off, forming a cluster of ravens around the three of you. Just as the vortex closed and the last of your room faded, Thor leaned down and mumbled to you, “You made a good choice,” while fixing you with a sincere stare.
His serious tone caught you off guard. It made you wonder what would have happened if you refused Odin’s offer.
You didn’t want to think about it. It was too late now anyway.
The ravens cleared, and once they were gone you were in front of the Great Lodge. The sunset of Asgard greeted you, the sight of Gladsheim leaving you stunned at the size of the city. And the wall, of course.
"Welcome home!" Odin cheered with a smile. It fell quickly when he saw Thor, still idling next to you. "What are you still doing here? Go! Don't you have somewhere else to drink?"
Thor nodded, glancing at you, looking almost worried. He said nothing, planting a heavy hand on your shoulder as he walked past. He clearly was still too drunk to mind his strength because he nearly knocked you over with the gesture.
"Now I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but it is getting late, and I want you to have some time to settle in. I've arranged for you to have a tour of Asgard with Heimdall in the morning. He knows everything about everything in Asgard, he'll tell you all the things you want to know…and what you don't want to know, probably."
You chuckled, thinking he was joking. Since he didn't you assumed there was something there you were oblivious to.
Hopefully it wasn't something awful.
"For now," Odin continued, "I'll be off. Sif here will show you to your room." Just as the goddess's name was mentioned, a tall blonde woman came from behind you, making you nearly jump out of your skin. "Sif, I trust you'll make sure she finds her way?"
"Of course, All-Father." You could help but notice the smell of mead on her breath as well. Was being drunk just a thing in Asgard?
"Good. I'll be off then, I'll greet you in the morning, Eivor." You bid the old god goodnight and he disappeared with his ravens. Sif turned her attention to you and offered a friendly smile. “Well, I hope you’re ready to see your new home.” She waved a hand and two servants scuttled over. “They’ll put your things away, that way we can take our time getting to your cabin.”
You looked at your leather bags worriedly, afraid to let your precious instruments out of your sight. Ultimately you put your trust in Sif and gave them to the servants, muttering a thank you to them as you did. Both of them appeared shocked that you did so, or that you even acknowledged them. And you could see why, Sif didn’t even look at them as she started down the path in front of the lodge. You thanked them again and followed after her. But then a streak of read flew past you, nearly mowing you over as it passed.
Sif spun around at the sound of little feet tapping on the dirt, smiling when the red you saw came to her. A little girl, no older than five winters, holding a wooden sword. “Mama, I almost got you that time!”
Sif chuckled and ruffled the fiery hair on the girl’s head. “Almost, you’ll have to keep practicing if you want to catch me though.” She then looked up to you. “I hope you don’t mind if my daughter comes with us? She’s trouble without enough supervision.”
“Of course!” You knelt down to the girl’s height and asked, “And what’s your name, little one?”
“I’m Thrúd! And I’m not little!” She protested. “I’ll be big like my daddy and brothers.”
That’s right, this would be Thor’s daughter. That would explain why she seemed tall for someone so young. If you were honest with yourself you weren’t sure how to act with children. Warzones in Alfheim were not for the young and that was where you spent most of your time. Before you came up with something to say to the irate girl, Sif interjected. “Don’t be rude. And you aren’t big yet.” Thrúd pouted for a moment, a moment that ended when her mother was moving again. She took off, running ahead of her mother while you caught up.
You felt…shy, to say the least. These people were very different from the elves. With your habit of being sarcastic and occasionally sassy you were doing your best to bite your tongue while Sif engaged in small talk.
The Light elves were constantly drilling into each other how crucial winning their war was, how it was no laughing manner. Every elf should be treated as a respected soldier, every high ranking official like a king. There was an excess of formality and decorum, forcing you to reserve any laid back energy for the few private moments you had with the even fewer elves you trusted not to take it to heart. Out of habit you defaulted to this type of exchange, offering quick and succinct answers to everything she asked, offering little to any comments she made. It wasn’t long before you noticed that she seemed to get bored as a result. She paused the conversation for a minute, grasping for anything to make the interaction more interesting. That moment somehow acted as the cue for an Einherjar to fly from behind a building and trip onto the path in front of you, a moment when Thrúd was thankfully close to her mother. The man shouted something in an old language, another one leaping out with a club in his hand, missing completely. The two squared up again, only this time the one with the club was holding it upside down, the thin end making contact with the other’s thick armor. It was then that they both stumbled before engaging again. So being drunk apparently was a thing in Asgard.
You stared incredulously while Sif rolled her eyes. Thrúd, clearly confused, looked up at you and Sif. “Why would he use the stick like that?”
“I…think he’s a little confused,” you commented, attempting to avoid any accusations.
Sif, however, was not. “They were probably part of the drinking game that was going on this afternoon,” she huffed.
“What’s that mean? Is he dumb?”
“Well–” You didn’t get a chance to offer a neutral explanation. The Einherjar threw his club at the other from about a foot away from the other. It bounced off of his opponent’s armor and straight into his exposed gut, making him double over as the armored one laughed hysterically. In that moment, you decided being courteous wasn’t possible. “Yes, he is.”
To your surprise, Sif laughed. “That’s definitely not far off.” You stood, relieved that no one was bothered by your humor. Perhaps, you thought, because not everyone was a hardened footsoldier or a jaded general like you were so familiar with, they were more tolerant of not taking things so seriously.
You should relax.
And so you did. Once the two Einherjar were shooed away by Sif you tried to actually contribute to your interactions, mentioning Thor’s entrance. A troll squeezing through a mouse hole was how you described Thor stumbling through your front door. Sif had a good laugh at that one, taking no offense to poking fun at her husband. And how you used to use your flute to lull overworked guards to sleep so you could sneak out of your room to play in the sand of the barrens when you were a child. Sif was more at ease as well, despite Thrúd constantly circling her and waving her toy sword around carelessly. She told you about the time one of her sons toppled over an entire kennel for the servants' work dogs, scaring them all enough to send them yipping and howling into the middle of Odin observing the valkyries training new Einherjar. You seemed to have shenanigans in common, although yours were born from your rebelliousness, Sif’s from a family of boisterous gods.
You two had stopped in front of a moderately sized building while you exchanged a few more remarks, laughing once more before Thrúd started to constantly tap on her mother’s hip, complaining that she was bored. Sif shook her head at the girl, still smiling fondly. “You hear the girl, this is where I’ll leave you for the night.”
You stiffened, realizing the building you’d been loitering around was yours. “This is mine? All this for me?”
Sif smirked. “And why not?”
You shook your head. “It’s so much bigger than the tiny room I had in Alfheim.”
Sif hummed, her smirk growing just a tad. “Afraid you’ll get lost in there?”
You didn’t miss a beat. “I hope I'll make it out before I wither away into dust.”
Sif let out another guffaw, all while latching onto Thrud’s shoulder before the child wandered off. Once the girl was secured (for the time being), Sif put her hands on her hips, looking much more pleased than she had all night. “You know, I like you. You’re much more fun when you let go.”
Without you realizing it your face lit up. Not once had someone said they liked you just for being you, not since you were…you couldn’t even remember how young you were. “You really think so?”
“What reason would I have to lie?”
For once, you didn’t have an answer to that question, and you felt overjoyed. It was one you asked about the elves so much that it practically became your mantra. Now you really could believe that there weren’t strings attached to everything you did.
Finally, you could leave that part of you behind.
You swallowed all that emotion down, wanting to hop back into the mood that had been set. “So you can get me out of your hair and get a handle on Thrúd?”
Sif sighed, watching as Thrúdwas tossing her sword around for a servant she’d cornered a few doors down, swearing that she could do tricks with it. “There’s no handling her. She’s learned too much from her brothers already.”
When Thrud’s toy sword was getting hurled too high above her, Sif saw fit to bid you goodnight and get her calmed down enough to get to bed relatively soon. And once you entered your cabin you found that Odin had kept his word. Simple but sturdy furniture, thick furs on the bed, a closet with cloaks and dresses ready for you, even if some of them didn’t look like they would fit. Much to your relief, your instruments were placed on a table below the window, safe and sound, and exactly how you left them. There was even a full bookshelf, but you chose not to inspect its contents for now. The fatigue from the day had settled in now that you had a moment to breathe, and you were in dire need of some sleep.
To think Thor had literally dropped into your life this morning. It already felt like so long ago.
The next morning, you awoke to a bashful knock at your door. Upon answering it, you found it to be a seamstress, timidly requesting she get some measurements to tailor some of the clothes Odin had given you. You obliged and welcomed her inside, even asked if she needed a drink. It made you sad to see her so confused at your kindness, shining a light on how she, and likely many others, were treated by higher ranking Aesir. Once the measuring was underway, she began to unwind, as if she was feeling safer than she did outside. Upon her leaving, you expressed your gratitude, which made the seamstress smile with, as far as you could tell, relief. When she opened the door she nearly bumped into Sif. And just like that, the servant was back to curling into an invisible shell, apologizing profusely and scampering off.
You liked Sif, and you were already beginning to see her as a friend, but you hoped she was not the reason the servants always seemed so on edge. You would have to find that seamstress sometime, tell her you were open to being friends. You were all for forging bonds now, thanks to Sif, and why limit yourself to the elite?
Sif barely noticed the seamstress, choosing to greet you with a warm smile. “New wardrobe already?” She asked, noticing the freshly altered Asgardian dress you wore over simple leather pants.
“Odin certainly works fast,” you chuckled, joining her outside.
Sif’s smile fell a tiny bit. “All-Father certainly does," she replied, pointing out your mistake without saying it outright. You found it odd, considering the Aesir seemed much looser than the elves, except when it came to the gods here. “Aside from that, I’ll be dropping you off at the lodge for now, I’m just making sure you find your way there.”
Disappointment washed over you at the information. Sif had promised to introduce you to her sons sometime, and based on what you heard about them, they sounded like they would be…entertaining, to say the least. “Where will you be?”
“Tending to my regular duties, mostly handling affairs we have with the dwarves for today. You, however, will be getting a tour of Asgard, courtesy of the watchman himself. I’ll be handing you off to Heimdall, our resident mind reader.”
Your eyes widened at the casual remark. “He reads minds? That’s…terrifying.”
Sif laughed, making you think you were overreacting. “Well, he reads people more than minds, but he can find more details and pick up precise thoughts with eye contact. But I doubt it will matter much since he’s just giving you a tour.” They entered the courtyard of the lodge, Odin’s ravens dropping him there just as your feet met the mud in front of it. Sif leaned down and whispered to you, "And for that…I apologize in advance."
You raised a brow at her. "What?"
"Eivor!" Called Odin from the doors of the lodge. Sif gave you a rueful smile and left as Odin approached. "How was your first night in Gladsheim?"
"It's been…nice. Thank you, I've never lived in this much comfort." You didn't have the heart to admit most of it felt unnecessary to you. You secretly hoped you'd get used to it.
"One of the many perks of serving the greater good, my dear. Now, the city has a lot going on, and I'd hate for you to feel overwhelmed. That's where your tour guide comes in."
The doors to the Great Lodge behind him opened and a man stepped out. For the first time since you arrived, despite the gods you'd seen thus far, you felt starstruck. Not because you knew who he was, you hadn't the slightest. You couldn't help but notice that he was your type of handsome, his tall but lean frame a stark contrast to the bulky men you had seen already. Sharp facial features framed by ornate golden hair, but his eyes…a glowing purple like you'd never seen. Piercing, almost intimidating, but beautiful all the same. Those eyes met yours for a heartbeat before you looked back to Odin, embarrassed that you were caught ignoring him.
The man approached, stopping by Odin as he finished his last statement. You suddenly knew who this was.
"This is Heimdall." The fair god gave a slight bow to you, the smirk he wore showing just how confident – or cocky – he was. He looked directly at you when his head rose. Within a moment the smile melted, and he looked…confused.
"He will be taking good care of you while you get acclimated. Right, Heimdall?" Odin gave him a stern glare, almost like a warning.
"Of course, All-Father. When have I ever disappointed you?" His voice, though smooth and soothing to you, carried something that made you think he may be more on the cocky side than confident. His glowing eyes raced back to you after addressing Odin. His jaw clenched.
"Good. I'll leave you to it then. Have fun!" Odin gave you no chance to reply, he simply fluttered away in a whirlwind of feathers, as he seemed to so often. You're left alone with Heimdall. It was silent for a few seconds, like you two were sizing each other up. It gave you a chance to notice he was almost a full head taller than you…which you admittedly liked.
Heimdall was the first to speak. "So, you're the stray from Alfheim I've heard about, hm?"
You felt your brow twitch at being referred to as "stray." You chose not to react. This was a stranger, after all. He might not have meant anything by it. "...I guess you could say that."
His expression grew even more sour, painting a sneer on his lips. He looked…angry? He harrumphed, then brushed past you rudely. "Very well then, stray, let's get on with it."
He definitely meant something with that nickname. Unease stirred in your stomach, feeling that this wasn't about to go as well as you would have liked. A deep breath was what you needed, so you took it while you turned and followed him to the edge of the courtyard. He whistled, then waited for a barrage of thumps to reach them. A giant armored beast launched into view and raced down the path to you. You thought it would trample Heimdall with how fast it charged toward him, jumping back once it finally stopped just in front of him.
Heimdall laughed, patting the beast's neck while giving you a condescending smile. "Relax, stray, Gulltoppr won't hurt you…" he effortlessly climbed onto its back, settling comfortably on the golden saddle before adding, "...unless I command it." You thought you knew what a shit-eating grin looked like, but you saw that you never did until now. Heimdall jerked his head to the space behind him, signaling you to mount. The beast towered over you, and getting on its back would be a chore without help.
…which Heimdall clearly had no intention of offering. You waited a moment at Gulltoppr’s side to see if he would offer any sort of assistance, but all you got was an impatient frown.
You held back a sigh and leaped as high as you could, just barely grasping the saddle enough to pull yourself up. You were panting a bit once you finally sat with both legs on one side, all while Heimdall mocked you with fake pity.
This couldn't possibly get worse.
Of course, you were wrong.
He had something to say about everything. The first thing he pointed out to you was the very obvious Great Hall, as if you were too stupid to notice it was there. You let that one go, thinking he was just being thorough. But then you passed by a commercial area, where Asgard’s resident craftsmen carried out their business. “This is where the finest goods in the realms are made, by the hands of pureblood Asgardians, for pureblood Asgardians. So you shouldn’t soil it with your presence.” Your jaw dropped at that. By now you figured out he was naturally rude, but flat out prejudiced and spiteful had to be added to the list of his worst qualities.
No, you wouldn’t sink to his level, at least not so fast. You prided yourself on your patience, and you wouldn’t let this prick force you to abandon it. “I see…” You began, desperately trying to find something cordial to say. It was harder than finding a specific grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. “I don’t want to be a nuisance, so I’ll stay away as best I can.” A complete lie, you had no intention of bending to his perceived rules. Heimdall looked at you over his shoulder, saying nothing. After a moment his jaw clenched tighter than before.
You came across the training grounds next. Armored men were clamoring about, nearly beating each other to death, it seemed to you. “Isn’t this a bit rough for training?” You asked after his introduction to the area.
A scoff was his reply. “Are you too daft to see? They’re Einherjar, they’re already dead. Why hold back anything?”
“Because dying again probably isn’t pleasant?”
Heimdall gave you a theatrical sigh. “Oh of course, what a loss it would be if they did something twice. Do you think it makes any sort of difference? Or should I start explaining every little thing to you?”
Gods, he was irritating. Did he have to be so dramatic about it? “I just mean–”
“What you mean doesn’t matter. It’s a stupid question.”
You balled your hands into fists, your fingernails digging into your skin hard enough to leave marks. Oh, how you wanted to tell him how stupid he was for completely missing the point. But no, you were better than him. You were better than him, you swore. “I suppose it is,” you said curtly, having no desire to say any more.
Again, Heimdall glanced at you over his shoulder, brows knitting together in addition to his clenched teeth.
Then Gultoppr strolled past a much shabbier part of town, lacking the grandeur of the buildings near the Great Lodge. “These are the servant quarters. Do I need to explain this to you, or are you finally beginning to understand anything at all?”
An impatient sigh passed through you, this one you made sure he could hear. Though you doubted it made any difference to him. “No.” That was it, a single word was all you could manage to say politely at this point.
“No useless questions this time? Good, perhaps you will get the hang of things before the next century.”
You didn’t entertain him with a response, and he didn’t seem to be looking for one either. From there you both were silent, watching the cabins go by as Gultoppr meandered across things you’d already seen. As much as you hated hearing what Heimdall had to say, it was starting to feel awkward. And maybe this period was a good time to patch things over and hopefully –hopefully– get him to stop being such an ass. Clearly asking about Asgard was a mistake, as he had an unfortunate talent of finding a flaw in just about everything you said about it. His ego certainly seemed big enough for your chosen approach to work.
“While we’re passing through these familiar parts, why don’t you tell me about yourself, Heimdall?” You asked, forcing the irritation out of your voice to make your tone pleasant. Heimdall looked back at you for a second, this time with suspicion. Was he really so against talking about himself with how much of an elitist he was?
“What, pray tell, would make you ask?”
“Well, if we’re both serving the All-Father it’s likely we’ll come across each other again. There’s no harm in making our interactions more personal.”
Another glance at you, this one longer. “All you need to know is I am the scion of the Aesir, watchman of the gods, and herald of Ragnarok. It is my job to keep this realm safe from any harm whatsoever…whether it comes from the giants or a foolish stray from Alfheim.”
Of course he had to tack on an insult somewhere in there. You had to admit, however, that you did hear the pride in his voice when describing his role. It didn’t feel like it was born from the prestige of his position, but the joy of having it. It was almost enough to make you think there might be some parts of him that are bearable. Almost.
“It appears you love the realm very much.” You felt some of the anger recede as you made a genuine statement.
“Of course, it is the peak of perfection…At least it was, before you got here.”
The anger was back.
“Oh really?” You mocked, not thinking about what you said before you said it. “I’m sure just about everyone else in the realm would say the same about you.” As much as you wanted to be nice, the snark you threw right back at him felt so good.
Heimdall yanked on Gulltoppr’s reins, making the beast yelp in protest. He turned around as much as he could on the saddle and snarled, “Have you forgotten who you’re talking to already?” You recoiled, not expecting such a violent reaction. It hadn’t occurred to you until now that you had no idea exactly how much of a fighter Heimdall was, but based on this sudden threat he must have been enough of one to hurt you if he wanted to. And yet, it was not enough to scare you into caring. You shot back, “I think it’s you who's forgotten. What was it All-Father said? That I would be ‘taken care of?’ I don’t feel taken care of.” Your reply was as much of a threat as his, reminding him that you could drop him right out of Odin’s good graces if you wanted to, and considering how much more respectful he was to the older you guessed that would mean a lot to him.
All he did was glare harder. It was then that you noticed something. He didn’t seem to be angry. Well, he was, but not just angry. He looked…frustrated?
For a moment you felt like you had unknowingly been the problem and felt a tinge of guilt. Before you could ask him if you were in the wrong he turned away and instructed Gulltopr to move again. “If you think the All-Father would take your word over mine, then I assure you, I will revel in the look on your face when you realize you are nothing compared to me. A mongrel next to a dragon”
You didn’t care if you had done something wrong anymore. He deserved whatever it was that made him tense.
Finally, Gulltopr made it to something new, a large building not too far from the cabin Odin gave you. “Here is Asgard’s public library. All the finest pieces of literature have been collected and are available to read at your leisure. Can you even read, stray? I seriously doubt it.”
Don’t react, don’t react… you repeated to yourself. Just keep in mind that the library is there and you can read some new books for the first time since you were a child, that was all that mattered.
“Aww, did I hurt your feelings, stray? Don’t worry, I’m sure you have something that can be considered a redeeming quality.”
That’s it. Sif had said you were better when you let go. So you did.
Without warning, you reached across him and pulled on Gultoppr’s reins, the gradungr coming to a halt. Heimdall caught your arm as you pulled it back, looking like you had severely offended him. Before he opened his big mouth you slapped his arm away and leaped off Gulltoppr’s back. “What are you doing?” Heimdall demanded, drawing attention from other residents. Every single one cowered at his voice.
You turned around and gave a mocking curtsy to him. “I’m so sorry, but frankly, I’m sick of you.”
“We’re not done here,” he growled, turning Gulltoppr to face you. It did nothing to change your mind.
“Yes, we are. If that’s a problem, then you can figure out how to explain it to Odin.” You spun on your heel and started marching away.
“All-Father,” He emphasized, correcting you, “ordered you to get acquainted with the city. This defies a direct order!”
“That’s your problem!” You shouted back.
Your patience was gone and you were not going to waste your time humoring the jerk any longer. Not even the hammering of Gulltopr’s heavy footfalls racing towards you were frightening. You waited for the perfect moment to stop walking, until Gulltopr was just a few bounds away. You raised your hand, summoning a barrier of golden magic swirling above the ground, positioned just in front of Heimdall’s upper body. Gulltopr kept running full speed, and Heimdall was hurled directly into the barrier – the equivalent of sprinting face first into a stone wall. He let out a pained yell and was thrown off of Gulltoppr, who skidded to a halt as soon as he realized his master was no longer mounted.
You didn’t register the sound of the astonished gasps from passersby that witnessed the event. Heimdall fell directly onto his back, having the wind knocked out of him, but the pain did nothing to stop him from standing up immediately. This time you were the one to look over your shoulder at him, finding exactly what you expected: the most hateful, menacing glare he’d shown all day. You didn’t pay any mind to it at the time, but you did notice something else in his purple eyes that was new.
Fear. So subtle that you weren't sure if even he knew it was there.
“I said,” you hissed, “that’s your problem.” With a flick of your fingers the barrier you created disappeared in a flash of golden sparks and you flounced off without another word. Any onlookers quickly scurried out of sight.
You were appalled that you thought he was handsome earlier. Live and learn, as they say.
Heimdall’s fists shook with rage, his teeth ground together like he was trying to break them, his breaths quickened with fury. He opened his mouth to call after you, a hand reaching across his torso to unsheathe his sword but he never got the chance to. A raven's call from the top of a nearby roof stopped him in his tracks.
He knew exactly what that meant. Heimdall snarled to himself and nodded at the bird, commanding Gulltoppr to return to his enclosure alone, which the beast obeyed without question. As the black feathers surrounded him and the scenery faded, so did his anger, slowly replaced by the sickly sting of dread. It only doubled when the vortex dropped him off in front of the doors to Odin’s study, not inside the study. Odin had no patience with people who weren’t calm and rational. It was his way of silently commanding Heimdall to collect himself before entering. He felt like he had been stabbed in the gut knowing Odin was so displeased with him.
No. No, he would prove to the All-Father that he needed no such treatment. He was calm, level-headed, and ready to accept the criticism he knew was coming. Heimdall straightened his back and squared his shoulders, head held high, and pushed the door open with confidence. Odin was standing behind his desk, Huginn and Muninn were on their wooden perch while the god studied maps of Muspelheim and books that were scattered across the tabletop. He didn’t lift his head to address Heimdall.
Whatever confidence Heimdall had when he entered was steadily deteriorating the longer he was ignored, not daring to rush Odin. It was a few minutes before his superior finally grumbled, “You’re done early. All of Gladsheim so soon?”
The utter shame Heimdall was inundated with left him speechless. He never failed Odin. He made sure of that. Never did he disappoint the Aesir king with shortcomings of any kind. That was his job, his responsibility. One he held with pride. Knowing that he should feel none of that pride at that moment was eating him alive. Heimdall resisted clearing his throat, refusing to show how much he loathed the talk he was about to get. “The str–She was not interested.” That was it. That was all he could manage.
Odin finally looked up, and the sheer dissatisfaction and impatience nearly made Heimdall shake with guilt. “And why would that be?” Heimdall had no answer. Odin simply sighed in frustration, pacing around his desk as he spoke. Even Huginn and Muninn looked at Heimdall like they were deeply unimpressed. “One job, Heimdall. I gave you one thing to do, and you couldn’t do it!”
Heimdall visibly winced. Odin was exactly right, and in more ways than one. “I mean,” Odin continued, more exasperated. “It was so simple. Let her look around, and take enough time to figure out if she’s hiding anything, see if she’s not telling me something, anything. And look at this! Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes was all it took for you to fuck it up!” Normally these words would make Heimdall grin with pleasure, relishing in the complete incompetence and worthlessness of the receiver. But that was because he wasn’t the receiver. He was never the receiver. He was always better than them. Until now. Thanks to you.
“All-Father–”
“Don’t interrupt me!” Odin barked at him, Heimdall’s mouth instantly closing at the command. He had already committed the sin of failing Odin, he wouldn’t dare make it any worse. He wouldn’t stoop so low to make excuses. “You’ve made this so much harder, and for what? Because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut? Because you can’t stop being…yourself for a mere hour? You couldn’t just focus on reading because you couldn’t help but be you?”
Heimdall schooled his expression into one of an emotionless soldier as best he could, but that…that hurt. And he hated that he could feel the hurt showing. Not because the lecture hurt his feelings, no. His feelings were irrelevant. What hurt was hearing Odin himself say that Heimdall as a whole was the problem.
His entire life had been proving his worth, proving that he was more than a simple henchman, a lackey, an assistant. No, NO. He was worthy of his role as a valued confidant and loyal chancellor. He accepted orders willingly and carried them out to a T because he was capable of doing so without fail. But if Odin said that he himself was the flaw…then he had been wrong in believing he earned the All-Father’s certitude in his reliability. And worst of all, he knew that Odin’s harsh reprimand was justified completely. He had ruined his goal because he wasn’t willing to let the newcomer think she was one of them, that she belonged here in any way, even though that was what Odin wanted her to feel. He undermined Odin’s plans. He let himself be the obstacle in the way. He had to fix that.
Unfortunately, what he needed to say wouldn’t make that easy. “That is the problem.” His muttering was barely audible, just enough for Odin to hear it. He returned to his desk, resting his hands on it while he waited for Heimdall to clarify. “I…I can’t read her. When I look into her mind it’s like staring into a void…I see nothing.” He despised that his voice wavered and shook as he spoke, that he was showing how affected he was by Odin's disappointment. Heimdall waited for him to continue on his rant, to chastise him for his defeat as he deserved. That way, once Odin expressed the full extent of his resentment, he would understand exactly how to never beckon it again.
He would be perfect for the All-Father again. He would make sure of it.
To his dismay, Odin loosened up just a bit, turning his attention to his two treasured ravens and stroking their feathers. “I figured as much. She’s immune to my ravens as well. Your foresight having no effect is to be expected.” Odin paused, his hands dropping back down to his sides. “And?”
Heimdall blinked as he processed what Odin said. “What?”
“And? Yes, I knew she would be immune, but I still expected you to break through. My ravens can see her under the right conditions, which means she’s not invulnerable. All you have to do is find a way past her defenses. That’s why I assigned the tour to you, so you’d have enough time to experiment.
“Really, Heimdall, when I tell you to do something, I plan on it happening. But if you give up at the first problem you come across, then what good are you?” Odin posited, throwing his hands up.
The pit Heimdall felt his soul falling into swallowed him whole at last. He couldn’t lose his value to the All-Father. He CAN’T. “I haven’t given up!” Heimdall screeched, reeling his emotion back in to sound less frantic. “I will find a way, I swear to you. I was simply unaware that reading her would take more than others. I will find everything you need to learn from her.”
Odin calmed considerably, though his reaction was not enough for Heimdall to judge how convincing his declaration was, with his harsh gaze piercing through him. Heimdall hadn’t realized he was holding his breath. “See to it that you do,” Odin said, finally sitting down in his chair. “But I doubt you’ll do it quickly, thanks to this dereliction. So, to make sure you’ll be able to keep her around enough – without causing much more trouble – I’m putting you on babysitting duty.”
“For who?” If he had to atone by taking care of Sif’s little muskrat of a daughter he would surely lose his mind.
“She’s going to be finding some things for me throughout the realms. You’re going to go with her and keep her safe.”
Babysitting Thrúd didn’t sound that bad to Heimdall all of a sudden. “All-Father, with all due respect, I’m concerned that my absence will put Asgard at jeopardy.”
“The realm will survive if you’re gone every once in a while. Don’t try to get out of this because you don’t like her. Consider this punishment as well. I was going to send Thor with her to do the heavy lifting, but hopefully this will remind you how important it is to meet my expectations.”
Heimdall put a hand on his chest and bowed. “Of course, All-Father. I will not disappoint you again. You have my word.”
Odin nodded. “Dismissed.”
It had been a long, long time since Odin had excused his watchmen so coldly. He made no protest and promptly exited the study. As Heimdall stomped through the lodge and back outside, he felt his fists clenching, his back constricting, his arms locked up and ready to destroy the next thing his hands touched. Something anyone who passed him noticed and backed away from before they were in the line of fire.
And you came in and destroyed it. All because you thought you were special.
How dare you.
He had a perfect record. Always succeeding, always surpassing Odin’s expectations with flying colors. Never too slow, never too fast, always on time. There was not a single time in his life that he recalled falling short, showing that even the most miniscule parts of him were efficacious. Everything about him was laudable. He was worth keeping.
No, oh no no no. He wouldn’t allow that. And he would prove to Odin that he was not so useless that he should take one of Thor's lowly tasks, that he could easily do more than be a glorified bodyguard. He would find a way into your head before your little quest began. You had to be around Gladsheim somewhere, and he would find you and start prodding at your mind right away.
Well, after he found the Einherjar and sent some of them back to Valhalla to blow off some steam. He didn’t want to unleash it on you. Not yet, at least.
If this gets interactions I'll post on Ao3 and keep going. Thanks for stopping by! :)

More to add for the "Jotnar are Indigenous coded" (maybe) but the different Giant characters like... display different versions of intergenerational Trauma & how each of their families have or haven't dealt with it.
Faye/Kratos/Atreus trio were the most well-adjusted (next to Angrboda's family unit), but still, trauma there, obviously. Faye has had to be on the run & hiding from the people who committed genocide against her people & family, taking on a new name from Laufey to Faye, just to escape them. She had no one to speak her Native language to, which is effectively now a dead language. She had to hide her own heritage from even her own husband and son (first likely for her own safety, & then later because of the prophecy), yet she still told Atreus things she knew about her own culture, & the truth about her people's history. Of course, Faye also took on an active role in literally fighting her oppressors, forging a weapon specifically to kill the person who had committed genocide on her people. Her prime revenge ultimately comes in the form of living a happy life (what a spit in the face to those who want you dead, than to survive, live, & do it happily), having a Jotunn (AND divine) son, a champion of the giants to carry on her work & bring Ragnarok to Asgard. Kratos is the other parent who tries his best to raise his son when he doesn't have knowledge of his wife's culture & supports him to the best of his ability, yet is anxious about Atreus being in the world knowing he's a target for being Jotnar AND expecting to be killed off & Atreus orphaned.
Angrboda/her parents/Gryla showed a similar situation, but instead their family was restricted to hiding in a specific area of their family, causing isolation (& this might be reaching but it reminded me of reservations? Not quite similar but still). Angrboda's parents gave her a healthy coping mechanism that was important to their people (art & creating the murals), taught her magic & their people's ways & culture, about Jotunheim's nature, & taught her how to survive in the world without them before they died. They created a world for Angrboda to live in safely & gave her the tools she needed to survive. Yet we also see how their people's genocide & the aftermath has negatively affected Gryla & her relationship with her granddaughter. Gryla bitterly living in the world that tried to kill her yet still trying to create a softer one for Angrboda, even if their relationship is strained. "She's not evil, she's lost".
Thor/Sif/their kids are obviously the worst off. There's a lot of self hatred with Thor, who has turned away from his Jotun side and allied himself with his mother's oppressors & became one himself. Despite Odin apparently having considered Forgyn his one true love, he doesn't care much for their son or treat him well & physically abused him, which Thor passes onto his children. His trauma, self hatred, & any possible guilt is likely at least partially responsible for his alcoholism. Thor & Sif's violence towards their children causes Magni & Modi to become violent & end up dying trying to kill another Jotun (Atreus). They feel no sympathy or solidarity with other giants but instead ally themselves with the oppressor & are all the worse for it. Atreus even tries to reform Thor somewhat and becomes friends with Thrúd.
#either the writers are fucking geniuses who did their proper research#or they accidentally created one of the best Indig coded races without being weird that I've ever seen#Faye chose to wander the world & help others but had to sacrifice her identity to do it#Angrboda's family chose to remsin in their homeland & keep their traditions but at the cost of being isolated & seperate from others#Thor is the one to completely disregard his Jotun identity altogether#gow#gow ragnarok spoilers#I've been having great convos w rhubarbspring about this#I STILL don't know that the Jotnar being Indig coded is even intentional#& Indig ppl aren't the only ppl to experience inter/generational trauma but I'm finding a lot to extract in similarities from this

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but it has to be said.
You cannot use Norse myth/religion as a way to justify Marvel Comics use of the deities.
“This is fine because in the myths…”
Well this isn’t the myths. It’s a fictionalized take on the deities that is in itself it’s own thing. They share no relation to the stories and myths of the Norse religion. They only share name and title and on occasion retellings.
Trying to justify anything Marvel Comics does with the Aesir or even stupid ass fandom disputes with “well in Norse myth” your argument is already flawed and invalid. Stop pulling my deities into your fictionalized world to justify stupid shit.
It’s like using Percy Jackson as a definitive source for Greek myth. No. That’s not how this works. Fiction takes on mythology and pagan religion are just that. FICTION. Percy Jackson did not actually return Zeus’ lighting bolt in the Greek Myth just like how Loki didn’t turn people into pigeons in Norse Myth in order to get back at Thor.
“If people actually read the myths they would see…”
Question, have you actually read the myths? Also, what does that have to do with Marvel Comics? Loki in Marvel Comics is not Loki in Norse myth and I’d appreciate it if you would not try and compare the two.
I am a Marvel fan, my favorite comics are Thor comics, but I’m also a Norse pagan who worships the Norse pantheon in my religious practice. Yet, I am still able to draw a clear line between the two and treat the differently. Something that I think many people need to realize. When I pray to Odin or leave offerings to Loki, I am not praying to Anthony Hopkins and Tom Hiddleston. I’m praying to MY gods who predate anything that Marvel has ever done.
Essentially what Marvel has done is taken these figures and placed them into their own universe and world. They share names, titles, and on occasion retellings. But they are not the Norse gods at all. They are retellings in and of themselves, a tool for Marvel to give their own spin on things regardless of what happens in actual myth. Not to mention there are several changes made so they really can’t be comparable. (Laufey being Loki’s father and not his mother, entire gods and goddesses not even existing, not plausible proof of certain events in the myths even happening, etc.)
Now, if it were to be something like, for example, Loki being Genderfluid. It is completely fine to cite the Norse myths as a way to say that Loki being Genderfluid in Marvel is sensible. That is something that can be used. “Loki being Genderfluid in Marvel makes sense because in the Norse myths Loki is a shapeshifter and takes different forms, something that Marvel has also showcased in their works.” That’s different. That’s more of a comparative outlook on the two works rather than justification of one Vs the other.
Make sense? (I am willing to happily clarify if anyone would like 💚)
So please, I’m asking nicely for people to stop trying to justify Marvel fandom stuff by using the Norse myths. It’s in no way comparable or justifiable and is annoying to see a religion and it’s texts brought up against a fictionalized version of it that has no solid standing on anything that happens in Marvel Comics.

Singapore wants to purchase two versions of the F-35
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/07/2022 - 14:00in Military
In 2019, the Singapore Ministry of Defense announced the decision to acquire the STOVL F-35B fighters. This choice will allow the gradual replacement of the fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons in service. But now the nation wants to acquire a second version of Lockheed Martin's stealth jet.
After the multinational exercise "Pitch Black" that recently took place in northern Australia, the head of the purchasing office for the new combat aircraft of the Singapore Air Force (RSAF), Major Zhang Jian Wei confirmed the country's recent interest in diversifying the F-35 standards. The project is being evaluated to determine which of the "A" or "C" standards would complement the "B" model that is being integrated.
If Singapore's choice for the F-35 dates back to 2019 and does not suffer any discussion, the recent "Pitch Black" exercise seems to have convinced Singapore pilots of the need for two versions of the aircraft. In fact, Singapore participated in the exercise with its modernized F-15SGs and the feedback was a valuable opportunity to understand the ability of the F-35 to operate alone or with other resources and act as a force multiplier in a context of widespread employment.
Exceptionally, the RSAF revealed to the press one of its flight experiences against F-35 during the "Pitch Black" exercise. In one scenario, two F-35As of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) clashed with six F-15SGs (updated version equivalent to the US "E" standard). According to the Commander of the RSAF Detachment, Colonel Mark Tan "the F-35 were able to 'find everyone, hit everyone and kill them despite all efforts to fight them'.
The option to purchase two versions of the F-35 by RSAF has always been on the table, but seemed to have been left aside since the order of the first F-35B. The STVOL F-35B version should make it possible to overcome the problems of the size of the country and the limited infrastructure available. The interest in offering more versatility and, therefore, again on the table for RSAF employees.
In 2026, RSAF will receive the 4 F-35B ordered in 2020 with a first package of limited equipment, including complete training systems. The next order, probably mixed, will include a broader complement of equipment with spare parts and large-scale repairs, support materials, tools and test equipment, as well as logistical support services, including the ODIN system. A package including weapons will also be on the menu.
The challenge is to gradually replace the current 60 F-16 C/D Block52 combat jets soon after 2030. Singapore will thus become the first F-35 operator in Southeast Asia and the fourth in Asia-Pacific, after Australia, Japan and South Korea. It will also become the first air force in Southeast Asia equipped with a stealth aircraft. Therefore, Singapore is expected to order more F-35 in two versions to replace the fleet, according to its usual practice. A confirmation occurs before the end of the year.

FFXIVwrite 16: Deiform
Ao3 link if you want it
“There’s another one”
Wren barely glanced up at Biggs, mind focused on the task in front of him. The machine he worked on was a new design, one that would hopefully help infuse barren earth with aether, allowing for an increased crop yield. He still needed to run a proper test, and for that he needed to find someplace with a sufficient amount of earth-aspected aether to charge it with. The 789th Order had offered their stockpile of crystals in exchange for one of the first working prototypes-
“Wren, I need you listening”
“Who is it this time?” He sighed, laying down his tools. He turned to look up at the man who was technically his boss, at least until Cid and Nero came out of their calculation induced stupor.
Biggs answered him with silence, and Wren understood. The over-grim mood suddenly made sense.
Someone had summoned a twisted, primal form of his dear friend once more.
“Where is it?”
“Coerthas”
-------
It was an expected outcome, following the 8th umbral calamity, that primal summoning would increase tenfold. They had seen it happen with the 7th, when the land had at least healed from the fallout, even if the people hadn’t. But now aether was sparse, made stagnant by Black Rose, robbing the survivors almost everything; resources, family, hope.
It wasn’t a surprise when people began to summon the embodiment of hope itself.
The Warrior of Light came back to them many times, deiform versions brought forth by those desperate for protection. Beryl had once expressed an odd appreciation for the creativity put in, when they had been on the hunt for one in Eastern Thanalan. She had tried cataloguing each of them, coming up with her own names for each.
‘The Warrior of flowers’ was one of the first, brought forth in the Shroud. It could only be described as a mix of the Warrior and Nophica. Horns resembling a ram’s curled from each side of its head, layers and layers of petals formed its scales. A staff of twisted willow boughs was clutched lightly in its hand, strung with blooming vines to double as a bow. It had spoken of peace at first, welcoming them to its wood, but soon turned hostile at first mention of it draining the land of aether. Wren still sported the scar of its arrows, which hurt almost as much as the act of slaying it. its face had bared the most resemblance to his friend - it was hard to separate the two in his mind's eye.
Another, simply dubbed as ‘The Warrior’ had been in Thanalan, brought forth by desires of survival and vengeance. It resembled Odin in a way, adorned in bark armour and scales of iron. The primal’s features were sharper, stronger than the real person, with eyes of burning amber rather than mismatched cool blue. It summoned endless blades to its side, effortlessly switching between swords, axes, daggers, lances and chakrams. It had fought hard and well - killed two of their fellows, cutting the number of those blessed with the echo in half.
‘The Moonlit Warrior’ wandered the crystal encrusted wilds of Mor Dhona, protecting travellers between the hours of dusk and dawn. The summoner had clearly taken inspiration from the early literature -and wanted posters- of the actual Warrior, the primal taking on a Miqo’te like appearance as opposed to Au Ra.
The most heartbreaking was ‘Taraxia’. One day another sylph accompanied Moraxio; one dressed in autumnal colours, head leaves fashioned into two pigtails. Few questioned it, just appreciated the extra set of hands. Or they did, until it was noticeable that what little of the ambient aether remained was slowly trickling away. Poor Moraxio had been heartbroken.
Wren wondered what Beryl would name this one, staring him down now. It seemed more draconic in nature, horns and tail large and exaggerated, legs digitigrade. It held a large greatsword in front of it, blade plunged into the ground, as though standing vigil over its summoners - a small group of ex-heretics, all cowering around a dying campfire.
'The Dragon Warrior' or 'The Daughter of Shiva' she spoke in the back of his mind, voice akin to the wind that threatened to knock him over. With a grunt, he brushed the thought off - she would just have to decide when he described it to her. There was little reason to distract himself with it now.
He drew his gunblade, as the primal lifted its sword.
"You shall not harm them"
"I mean them no harm" He checked the cartridges, spinning the cylinder to ensure it was full.
"And yet you draw your weapon"
"I mean them no harm. But you will go no further”

Latest Nokia Flash Tool Without Box Version 2023
Prior to downloading and installing the Nokia Flash Tool, it's essential to ensure that your computer satisfies the specified minimum system requirements. Typically, these requirements include a minimum of 1 GB RAM, 500 MB of available disk space, and a processor with at least an Intel Pentium 4. Depending on the platform, additional memory may be necessary. If you are a Mac user, please verify the minimum system requirements before initiating the Nokia Flash Tool download. Once these conditions are met, you can proceed with the installation.
The Nokia Flash Tool is a handy utility for reinstalling the software on your Nokia phone and can be obtained for free on our website. Ensure you carefully follow the instructions provided by the tool. Once downloaded, proceed to install it on your Windows PC by following the detailed step-by-step guide. This process guarantees you access to the most recent firmware updates for your Nokia phones. Nevertheless, keep in mind that opting for the installation of the latest firmware will lead to the loss of all your personal data and settings on the phone.
Initially, you must install the ADB & Fastboot drivers along with the most recent firmware version. Subsequently, proceed to install the Nokia flash tool. After the installation, connect your Nokia device to your computer using an ADB or Fastboot cable. Choose the 'flashing' option from the menu and then proceed by following the provided instructions. Upon completion of the flashing process, your Nokia device will undergo an automatic reboot.
The Nokia OST Tool is an online service utility akin to the Android Odin flash tool. While it can be unofficially downloaded, it proves helpful for addressing diverse problems and installing stock firmware on your Nokia device. It's advisable to employ this tool on a sanctioned PC. This guide will walk you through the installation process on your computer. After obtaining the file, the next step involves installing the USB drivers specifically designed for Nokia HMD Global.
If your device is encountering issues like sluggish performance, frequent overheating, or being stuck in a boot loop, the Nokia OST Tool can serve as a solution to rectify these issues and return your device to its stock state. It's crucial to understand that this tool is exclusively compatible with Nokia phones utilizing the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and is not applicable to devices with MediaTek chipsets. In the event of any complications arising post-installation, it is advisable to promptly reach out to a nearby service center. Keep in mind that receiving updates for your device may require some patience, as the process could take several months.

anemone : how does your muse view the world ; as a cruel & unforgiving place , a land full of wonders , or something in - between ? where does that world view come from ( what experiences , life lessons , etc . ) ?
basil : does your muse have a love - hate relationship with anyone or anything ?
hibiscus : how does your muse view the gentler , daintier things in life ? as things worth preserving & caring for , or things only bound to wither & disappear ?
From this meme (accepting)
anemone : how does your muse view the world ; as a cruel & unforgiving place , a land full of wonders , or something in - between ? where does that world view come from ( what experiences , life lessons , etc . ) ?
Valkyrie Brunnhilde (VB) has seen multiple worlds and knows that cruelty, beauty, wonder, hope, joy - and the range of emotions that each world might have the capacity for - vary wildly. She views her world, that which she shares with her sisters, as something sacred. It is unique to them and their experience; one where they do not know their childhoods. One where their lives started with a death. But, in this world she is used as a tool for others. Few know her - or even want to know her - beyond her power. It makes her world lonely. It makes her angry.
Human Brunnhilde (HB): Like VB, HB has been used as a tool for a greater purpose since before she could remember. She even went to pre-school on an Air Force base. Like VB, she was told that she was made to do something; and then was given power to do it. Power, procedure, direction... etc. But choice? Its a grey area. She views the world as wonderful and marvelous; and she loves the arts. Literature, theatre, cinema, art, poetry, food, travel, language, music - all these things nourish her soul. She wants to view the world as all of those things, but does not know how to make a life of it. Like VB, world view is wide and wonderful but her reality is narrower. So, like VB, she can be resentful. She can be rebellious.
Both versions of Brunnhilde are open-minded about the world and its people. Both are proud and stubborn and fierce. Both feel shackled to something. Both would do anything to be free of that.
basil : does your muse have a love - hate relationship with anyone or anything ?
In all verses, she both loves and hates Odin. He gave her power and life and the ability to fly; as a Valkyrie, as a pilot... he gave her riches beyond measure, access to knowledge, skills to hone, and resources to utilize. She appreciates all of that.
She hates him, though. Oh, fuck - she hates him to the point where she could be the wolf of Ragnarok herself to bring him down. He robbed her of her memories. Of love, of lives, she was never given the opportunity to live. Instead, she is a tool for his power.
To an extent, Brunnhilde hates Frigga too. As a Valkyrie, she is an adopted mother. As a human, she is a real mother. In both verses - Frigga has not stopped Odin from denying Brunnhilde the opportunity to dictate her own life. While Frigga has Brunnhilde's love, there has been very little support there.
hibiscus : how does your muse view the gentler , daintier things in life ? as things worth preserving & caring for , or things only bound to wither & disappear ?
Brunnhilde is a collector of gentler, daintier things. As a Valkyrie, she has a cabin filled with music, art, sculptures, books ... from her adventures. She hordes them like treasures.
Human Brunnhilde is much the same; her apartment is a mix of things she finds beautiful or striking - things that have moved her.
Both versions believe that art and culture are the keys to a life well lived. She cares deeply for those she loves, and would give her life for them. It does not matter if things are destined to wither and disappear; it makes them no less worthy to Brunnhilde.
In fact, she one day hopes to wither and disappear herself - or to go somewhere that is not Valhalla. If that is where the lovely things in her life go - to nothing (and then maybe on to something else) - then she would like to go with them.

"Questioning" about Heimdall, spoilers
Smthg that bugs me about Heimdall is that voiceline if Atreus finds him in the hall. He tells him that he envies Odin because unlike him, he sees people for what they truly are, whether they lie to the world or to themselves.
We know Odin is a narcissist who truly believes that he's in the right and everyone going against him is wronging him (exemple him believing it's entirely Atreus and Krato's fault if his family turns against him). Can Heimdall not see that?
If someone truly believes they're right, does he not see it as a lie? But he states otherwise. Does he just refuses to see Odin for what he truly is? And if so, why? I doubt it's because he's his father, since Heimdall doesn't seem to care much for his other family member (insulting Thor, bullying Thrùd, mocking Baldur's death to his MOTHER...). Was he just brainwashed through, like, Asgard propaganda? We see Thrùd doesn't believe Odin did wrong, and it's stated that Baldur also idolized his father, so I get that they wouldn't believe the other side of the story. But Heimdall? Heimdall should know better, he should be able to see this, that Odin is a self centered man that would stop at nothing for his thirst of knowledge. Especially when we can see that to him Heimdall was just a useful tool (him not really panicking when he dies because he can still use Atreus, AND not even budging when Atreus states that everyone hates him. There's also the fact that in the same scene he only refere to Thor as his son, not Heimdall. And claiming that Brok is a cheap price to pay, and I believe he said that in terms of usefulness, not in the 'I loved my son' way)...
So is Odin just too good at hiding what he thinks that Heimdall gets fooled, or is Heimdall lying to himself so that he has at least one person he can fully put his trust into?

And since Spleeter is an open-source tool, there are many other tools online that use it, so you're definitely not limited to the apps in this guide.ĭon't Miss: How to Set a Custom Charging Sound or Song for Your iPhone Whenever You Connect or Disconnect from Power But in most cases, one of the options above will work just fine - even the free ones.

Of course, you can also search for free or paid karaoke tracks online, pay for a "minus-one" track, or get a multitrack recording from a studio, which takes all the work out of separating or canceling the vocals for you. So you'll have better luck with Moises, Splitter.ai, Acoustica, RX 8, and maybe even Ableton Live above. It's not always perfect, but it's much better overall, not to mention easier. With the old way, you're just lowering the vocals' audio significantly, but with Spleeter-based and other proprietary technology for separating stems using artificial intelligence, you're extracting each layer like the pros. To see how to use the plugin to remove vocals, watch this video:Įach Method Above Will Give You Different Resultsīefore stem separation tools became available to the masses, which use machine learning to intelligently separate vocals from instrument tracks, the old-school way of using phase cancellation or inverting tracks never delivered great results. The effect is totally free, but you can donate as little as a dollar to support development. As you could probably guess, it's based on Spleeter's open-source tool.

With that, you can then install the " Max for Live stem splitter (Spleeter)" plugin from Azuki. The best way is using Max for Live, which is available already in the Suite version and as a paid add-on for Standard. In all three versions of Ableton Live are capabilities to remove vocals, but not all versions can use all methods. Ableton Live gives a 90-day free trial of the Suite version, which is pretty sweet. The Intro tier costs $79 (regularly $99), Standard goes for $359 (regularly $449), and it's $599 (regularly $749) for Suite.

Version 10 is available now, but it's available at a discounted price with a free upgrade to version 11 when that comes out.

Moises, developed by Geraldo Ramos, started as a web-based tool for desktop and mobile environments but has recently created Android and iOS apps. To learn more about Spleeter, check out our full guide on using Moises. Each of those options will let you remove the vocals from any song. It uses advanced machine learning to split a song into two, four, or five different stems, i.e., tracks. Like a few other apps we're going to cover, Moises leverages Deezer's open-source, MIT-licensed Spleeter tool to perform music information retrieval. The free app is limited to how many times you can use it each month, and the premium option costs $3.99 per month or almost $40 for an annual subscription.

These techniques can be audio, phase, or voice cancellation, configuring the equalizer, and using professional-quality machine learning tools that give the best results possible. This guide shows you a couple of different methods using popular free and paid audio editors. However, there are ways to remove vocals or significantly lower them on any stereo song file to create a near-perfect instrumental or karaoke version. The only way you would be able to remove the vocal track perfectly from the music entirely is if you have a multitrack version of the song, which is unlikely. In our case, that would be the vocal track. So how do you convert it into an instrumental or karaoke track?Īccompaniment tracks are made in the studio and are often referred to as "minus-one" tracks because they are missing one track.

How Odin Overcomes the Flaws of ChatGPT 4 | Get Odin AI
ChatGPT4 solves multiple flaws associated with ChatGPT 3.5, being more prompt-centric and with a promise of more factual accuracy; it is a welcome update addressing the problems of the last version.
According to Wired, the accuracy issues are still a promise rather than a reality. Which is still inadequate for factually inclined professionals; this is where Odin AI comes in to save the day.
What Is Odin AI?
Odin is an AI that leverages six proprietary AI systems and OpenAI, along with machine learning models that are more responsive to human intricacies. Odin comes with a suite of tools such as spell checker, plagiarism tool, AI content detection tool (Odin doesn't usually get caught), and knowledge base (more about this later) to ensure you can generate content that is optimal for professional use.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a groundbreaking AI tool that combines multiple machine learning models and natural language processing tools to generate significant texts based on the inputs (prompts). ChatGPT can be seen as useful for generating programming code, marketing copies, and more. Since, ChatGPT's accuracy compass is still not calibrated for modern sensitivities or facts. Don’t expect the output to be ready for marketing purposes or human communication consumption; instead, be ready with supplemental edits and rewrites for the best results.
How is Odin a better alternative to ChatGPT?
Accuracy & Bias
ChatGPT 3.5 has been plagued with accuracy & bias issues; while ChatGPT 4 was supposed to tackle these factual concerns, the reality has been somewhat disappointing, as reported by Wired & NewsGuard. Open AI's official press release said that ChatGPT 4 is 40% more factual than ChatGPT3.5, which sounds a lot, but the reference point of ChatGPT 3.5 is way lower than what the end users expect when it comes to the accuracy of the content generated.
Inaccuracy is a huge issue for professionals and students alike; students cannot afford to submit papers with blatant inaccuracies; for professionals, it is a question of their skills and abilities. Inaccurate output generally does not serve well for anyone who uses ChatGPT. On the other hand, Odin generates factual information due to its proprietary systems, which fact-check information for you in real-time.
When discussing the inaccuracy, Odin comes with Knowledge Base, our unique way of partitioning generated content limited by sources from which Odin can extract and process information. Knowledge base gives Odin more intent, context, and reliance on specific frames of reference for content that needs to be generated. This feature makes Odin AI more suitable for Ph.D. scholars, marketing professionals & students.
Originality & Context
For example, if you are writing an essay on "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, you can expect the output of ChatGPT to talk about alienation, innocence, and the struggle to find oneself.
In contrast, Odin would give you themes and issues prevalent in post-World War II America. A society that is moving from traditional values to a more consumerist and materialistic culture and the place of the nation's growing youth in the changing scenario. Here you can see how Odin is inclined towards a more in depth understanding of the scenario described by the author.
Availability Issues
ChatGPT has been plagued with availability issues from time to time, thus making it unreliable for most of us who live with deadlines. The message "Chat GPT is at capacity right now" is becoming too tiresome for most people. In contrast, Odin is well equipped to scale with minimal downtime to meet all potential demands that may arise from its ever growing user base and popularity worldwide.
Long-Form, Structured Content
Professional copywriters, content writers, and marketers always emphasize the need for proper structure and coherence of message in any particular chosen topic while publishing articles and blogs. ChatGPT, with its factual errors, lacks things that most humans have, such as context, emotional intelligence, contextual implications, and more. With these many setbacks, long-form articles from ChatGPT were disasters waiting to happen.
Odin is currently as close as it gets to a context-recognizing AI that better understands humans and human subjects in generating long-form content. Odin’s knowledge base enables you to just simply drag and drop documents and add links to the subject you want to create an article on; following which, Odin will wholly cut off its inbuilt data library and only rely on the dataset you have provided. Meaning Odin now has the custom answers that are most relevant to your specific topic (AKA training your AI realtime).
Words & Voices
Odin goes above and beyond what ChatGPT 4 and its alternatives, not by incorporating "tones" but by giving the option to create and choose personalities who can generate content in a specific tone from a conversational approach from the user. Odin doesn't prefer tones as they can come across as one-dimensional, while personalities adapt to specific situations and scenarios. Odin has a context-driven approach to outputs, which can further change with real-time chats but with personalities, you are always in control of the final output. Odin AI is only limited by imaginations, plus it's free to do so as well.
How Odin Overcomes the Flaws of ChatGPT FAQs
What are the limitations of ChatGPT?
While there are many, the biggest one being not being able to understand the context and intent of the user. Additionally, ChatGPT output contains way too many words and has repetitive output with little information in them.
What is the accuracy of ChatGPT?
The accuracy of ChatGPT is better described as inconsistent; sometimes, be surprised by how it can break down complex topics. Sometimes be frustrated by the circular logic it uses to generate answers. The 50% accuracy is insufficient for professionals, students, and academics.
On the other hand, Odin generates content based on the prompts; Odin can better understand the user's intent due to its personality-based approach to generating content. Odin has always been connected to the internet and has a library of authoritative sources from which it reads and processes information.
Does ChatGPT give the same answer to everyone?
YES - If everyone uses the same prompt for a specific question.
YES - Anyone who uses ChatGPT, do they look around for the best prompts
No - If everyone uses different prompts for a specific question.
Yes - YES!
Does ChatGPT make mistakes?
Yes, and you wouldn’t know until you fact-check.
