there are few things to fear
                      when you’re the one that births monsters
                      the one that punishes them

there are few things to fear
                      when all the demons are things you have made
                                           through sin 
                                           through salvation

no
there are few things to fear
but chief among the daunts that send god king’s blood to ice
              is the wrath of a mother

                  the wrath of sigyn
                                      she who holds ragnarok at bay 
              she is something to fear

              this goddess that has been reduced to loyalty alone
              this goddess that cradles the nine in her tender hands

                                  she
                                  she is something to be feared

One did I see | in the wet woods bound,
A lover of ill, | and to Loki like;
By his side does Sigyn | sit, nor is glad
To see her mate: | would you know yet more?

This particular drawing has rendered itself somewhat momentous to me, because at the time that my utterly lovely, patient, saint-like commissioner requested it I was seized with SO MANY visions of how to accomplish it, and drove myself crazy trying to do justice to the mythos of the situation and the very unique relationship between Loki and Sigyn that can be inferred from the glimpses of her we still have. In the end I was struck most deeply by the phrase used to describe Loki as “the burden of Sigyn’s arms”, which brought to mind a very specific sort of temperance and strength not necessarily wrought in muscle, but unwavering loyalty.

So, in honor of that. Loki and Sigyn.

Sigyn: do you know why they call me the lady of loyal,dear?
Me: because of how you stay at Loki’s side even after he had a hand in killing Baldr and starting Ragnarök.
Sigyn: well yes, but I didn’t do that because I’m a good wife. I did it because I felt like I would betray myself if I let him suffer alone. It is important to stay true your loved ones but most importantly you must be loyal to yourself. Never let others deter you from what you think is right.even if they are your family and friends,and they have the best of intentions. What is right for them may not be right for you. Do you understand?
Me: I think so.

I’m completely head over heels for the idea that Sigyn isn’t there to “help” Loki or change him. She’s not the “good” to his bad, not his opposite, not some pure thing that has a spotless moral compass. 
She’s knows who and what Loki is, and though sometimes she may not agree with his actions, she doesn’t try to correct his character. He’s a grown ass man, he can change himself. She has her own flaws, her quirks, her problems, her scars. I’m not saying she should be some traumatized, gritty, dark character, but there’s so much to explore- especially when mixing positive and negative ideals 

Ugh yes Give me all the complex Sigyns with equal parts good and bad
