On Sigyn and Keys

For a while, I could never figure out why keys were associated with Sigyn, or why She seemed to like them so much. I didn’t question it, really, just put them on my altar at home, but for all the things I was able to intuitively “know” about Her, the key thing escaped me.

Last night I was reading a juvenile non-fiction book about the Vikings that I had gotten from work, and there was a section on what women wore in that culture. The women kept the keys of the house hanging off their belts; it symbolized their position of authority over the household. 

Suddenly, it clicked. Sigyn likes keys so much because they’re literal symbols of the fact that She has a family and a home of Her own to care for, things She had been lacking (UPG, so YMMV). I could almost see Her smiling knowingly and saying, “I knew you’d get it eventually.” 

Which, you know, it only took me about seven years. But progress is progress. There’s always something knew we can learn about the Gods. 

So long and thanks for all the fish

Right, so. In a move that probably surprises absolutely no one, I’ve decided to retire from tumblr RP. 

There are a lot of factors playing into this, but the main one is that I simply don’t have the time to keep up an active blog. 

Alas, I am not 22 years old with unlimited time anymore. I have a career I want to keep advancing in, I’ve taken up TNR which takes a lot of spare time, and I still want to be able to read or watch TV shows. I want to take novel writing back up some time. I can’t do a lot of that if I’m on tumblr. I’ve had to decide what I want to spend time on, and unfortunately, tumblr has not made the cut.

There are other things – to be honest, Ragnarok killed a lot of my love for the MCU Thorverse, at least as far as roleplaying in it is concerned. I just don’t have the passion for it like I did when the first Thor movie came out, or hell, even when Avengers and TDW came out. It’s tiring to invest so much of my time and effort into something that the filmmakers themselves don’t give much of a shit about. Loki’s character has turned into a joke, and the high hopes I had for him post-Thor have not been met in the least. I can’t keep rewriting everything myself; eventually I have to accept that the stories won’t go in the direction I’d hoped for, and move on with my life. I can’t do that if I’m still roleplaying Sigyn on tumblr. 

Frankly, I’m also tired of my stuff getting swiped. I understand that Sigyn isn’t really “my” character, no matter how many years and tears and blood and sweat I’ve poured into crafting her, and that therefore people think it’s okay to take things from my interpretation and use it. As far as myth Sigyn goes, that’s fine; for MCU Sigyn, though? I’ll admit it rankles, even if people think it shouldn’t. 

Also, tumblr RP just inherently has a lot of drama in it that I no longer have the time or patience for at 27 years old. I’m tired of having to defend my character’s actions when she’s anything less than a doormat. 

This isn’t to say it’s been all bad, because of course it hasn’t. I’ve made so many dear friends that I can’t imagine life without. I’ve had great partners and storylines. It’s just that as the years have gone on, those became minimal enough that they no longer outweighed the bad.

What now, then?

I’m still around on Discord, and I’ll still be lightly roleplaying there. You can HMU for my username if you want to add me. I can’t give up on Sigyn entirely. She’s too much a part of my very life. 

As for this blog, I’ll be turning it into an online shrine of sorts. I’ll be posting about myth Sigyn, my thoughts on her, whatever. I won’t be following anyone on it, and I’ll be restricting my interactions with others, but I’ll be here. 

I’m also around on the Incorrect Logyn twitter, though I’ll no longer be posting those on here, as that idea was one of the things that got swiped shortly after I started doing it. Other people can take it up on here, and I wish them all the best with it. 

Otherwise, thanks for the great years, and for giving my Sigyn a chance. I love all y’all that matter, and the rest I’ve hexed or forgotten about. Smooches! <3

asoiaf meme: [7/7] minor characters - Talisa Maegyr of Volantis

“If she had her way, I would be back in Volantis playing my harp and you would be sitting over there eating blackberries out of Roslin Frey’s hand.“

*peers in*

well hi.

So here’s A Thought I had last night, tumblr: It’s generally accepted that Odin changed Loki into Aesir when he was a baby, right?* Well, that got me to thinking about Loki’s appearance, and how strikingly similar it is to Hela’s.  (And yeah, I know it’s because they wanted to keep to the comic design of everyone and didn’t actually stop to think about it, but roll with me here for a second.)  So... what if Odin gave Loki black hair and green eyes and fair skin because he wanted a do over, so to speak? A chance to right what he did wrong with Hela.  Loki was going to be Odin’s redemption in a lot of things, it seems. (*I say “changed” instead of putting out the glamor/illusion idea because Loki’s breath fogs up in Jotunheim whereas the Jotnar’s breath does not, implying Odin literally changed Loki into a warmblooded being. He also gave Loki hair, which the Jotnar don’t have and wouldn’t have a need for.)

sigyn: i hope you have a good explanation for this narvi: we have three, actually vali: pick your favorite (follow the twitter)

happy pride to loki, wade wilson, diana prince, valkyrie and other characters who are canonically LGBT+ in the comics but will never have their sexuality acknowledged on screen bc marvel and dc are cowards, i love u my babies

i’m always going to be pissed that loki’s “journey” ended up being the exact same as every other abused/neglected character’s journey in media

it’s really the abused kid’s “obligation” to forgive their family their faults and learn to live with it while their family actually doesn’t do a god damn thing to change their ways 

or worse that the abused kid is actually the one in the wrong because of whatever reason, they’re not really being abused, they’re just “sensitive” or a “troubled kid”

the writers can shove the idea that thor has “changed” all they want in my face but the fact of the matter is he hasn’t

and odin hasn’t done a god damn thing to earn loki’s forgiveness and love 

so from this emotionally abused kid to the writers: kiss my asshole.

you fucking failed.

you know when you’re kissing someone in bed and both of you are sleepy so the kiss is soft, and your lips are only just about touching. every now and then you stop to catch your breath or to take the person in but your lips are still touching and you’re holding eachother so tightly because you’re so desperate in that moment for this person to stay exactly where they are, exactly how they are

yeah, those are the kind of kisses i live for

*high pitched screaming* “MOOOOM!!”

@lokakinThere’s nothing as terrifying as hearing your child scream like they’re being murdered. So Sigyn can probably be forgiven for appearing in a blink of an eye, dagger in her hands, ready to absolutely kill anyone who might be harming her children.“What’s happening?!”
