Sigyn and Vali
Based on a piece by Mary Cassatt
Dedicated to my friend Dr. Amber!
One of the reasons why i love Sigyn/Loki so much is that it directly subverts the “Woman as reward for triumph” narrative.
Loki is not a good man. And very rarely successful at his scheming. And Sigyn loves him regardless because a woman’s affections are not bestowed on the victor by fiat.
She loves him. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. He doesn’t “deserve” it he didn’t “earn” it she just DOES.
Loki’s Delight
a piece of sky
blue with a dash
of calming purple
a wisp of cloud
surrounds
the central sun-drop
precariously tethered
to the ground
with a dream
beliefs and conviction
unwavering strength
and constancy
hold the dream
tight to reality
compass point petals
guide the heart
always leading back
home
