Amen To That.

Amen to that.

And from a pagan point of view, I do believe anyone who really had the chance to practice with both Loki and Sigyn can tell you how strong their bond is. So it still amazes me that so many people simply won't listen, for the sake of what, narrative? Even in the pagan community from what I hear, which makes it all the worst.

Defender of Sigyn

So we often talk how Sigyn defended and protected Loki. It's in the official sources of Norse mythology, after all.

However, @roruna pointed out to me today the Guttenberg project of Norse mythology; or, The religion of our forefathers, containing all the myths of the Eddas, systematized and interpreted, by Professor R. B. Anderson.

In his work, this scholar ennumerates several of Loki's names and kennings. One of them I had not seen yet, but it warmed my heart to find out about it, and how it totally confirms Loki's GOOD relationship and love for Sigyn (if anyone dared to doubt it *looking at you Marvel, Marvel fans, Joanne Harris, Rick Riordan, Neil Gaiman, Melvin Burgess and the others...*)

That kenning is: "Defender of Sigyn"

In other words, Sigyn protects Loki, and Loki defends Sigyn.

They are a team and they have each other's backs.

Yes, Sigyn is Loki's ride or die, but FOR REASONS. Because he loves her and will defend her if anyone dares to attack her.

Now, I would be SO NICE for the modern writers to stop spreading Marvel's lies, and depict Loki & Sigyn as they are supposed to be : a LOVING pair, who would do anything for each other, and whose bound was much stronger than Gleipnir itself.

He's such a mood.

Yup.

Plus, he was very much involved in the creative process behind the songs, which not only need to be written but also to be given a certain shape. And that, my friends, they did together.

He also did write the instrumental interlude for The Boxer, the last chorus of Baby Driver ("not talking about your pigtails..."), and if I recall correctly the English muffin stuff from Punky's Dilemma. And it's totally possible other instrumental or even lyrical parts came from him, though not credited but only mentioned in interviews and such, like these ones.

So. That's how a partnership works.

I'll never accept people trying to erase Artie's contribution to S&G. In case you wondered.

justice for art garfunkel people say he did nothing but he had a lovely singing voice and was paul simon's bisexual muse that was literally not nothing

Oh, and I'll add: bullying doesn't stop once we grow up, because there's plenty of grown-up bullies. So yeah, not to be pessimistic about it - it does get better, or at least it hopefully gets better, but assholes don't just magically disappear from our lives once we get older.

hey uh. don't listen to the people who say the bullying won't matter once you get out of school. because shit. it will.

bullying is peer abuse. it's traumatizing. and while getting out of the environment helps, the hurt doesn't go away. all the things ingrained in you don't go away. just because your bullies might not be in your life doesn't mean the awful things they did to you don't matter. they are still very significant people in your life.

please don't brush it off. please treat yourself with kindness and fight for the support and safety you deserve. you are not the person your bullies thought you were. you never were. you deserve to be happy and confident, and minimizing what happened won't lead to that.

Odin: Is any of this legal?

Loki: I’m sure it’s legal somewhere.

Odin: ...and here?

Loki: Not even remotely.
