#comics!sigyn

Here's an idea.

We have MANY amazing, fantastic artists in this fandom, and some beautiful illustrations and fan arts of Sigyn, whether it's as a Norse goddess, or her unfortunate variant from Marvel comics.

After the tourney with all the Sigyn fancasts from last year, I propose to you another one that will allow the fandom to pick their favourite depiction of Sigyn.

NO AI ALLOWED (or dolls divine, or no entirely human made art). OBIVIOUSLY. (Ratatoskr is judging you)

The arts will all be portraits of Sigyn - no Loki for this one. They agree that it's time for their lovely bride to shine :3

Old arts are more than welcome. But if you want to create new ones to make a splendid entry to this contest, go ahead, go crazy <3 (That is also why I'm giving you a few months, so you have time to WORK :3 (Hey, ART needs time :3 Bragi agrees <3)

You have until March 17th to send me the art you want to enter the contest.

As I said and I repeat: NO AI please.

The Sigyn portrait can be Norse!Sigyn, but also her variants from Marvel, Sandman, Smite, Twilight of the Gods (yes she was not in this, but you can imagine what she would look like :3), etc.

I will post about this contest a few more times, this is just a first announcement after all ;)

Have fun!!!

And of course, happy holidays!

Last week, I went to the Facts convention in Ghent and I was lucky enough to meet the amazing Imajunation (on Instagram). For a very long time, I stared in awe at this brilliant art inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld before I decided to commission him for a small Loki & Sigyn illustration.

Look at the result!! :D So great!! <3

Dyanna Wang is an amazing artist whose fantastic work I have admired for quite some time now on Instagram. Her Lokis are especially magnificient and so, when I saw that her commissions were open, I had to ask her to draw her own Sigyn variant. And look at the amazing result!!! This is a masterpiece <3 Thanks again, Dyanna, for your brilliant work! :3

Yeah ;) Comics!Sigyn mostly years yellow and green after her marriage. Before she married Loki it was pink and purple :)

And yes, when i said yellow was her color, I was speaking about Comics!Sigyn ^^' I'd say that pink is also one of Comics!Sigyn's colors, as she used to wear it before she was married AND her magic is PINK XD

-----------------------

Everytime I see someone say that she should be brought into the MCU (or the comics), I roll my eyes. In the comics, she’s just a prop to show how cruel Loki is because early depictions wanted him to be evil incarnate. And stop bringing Norse mythology into the Marvel versions about how they did love each other at some point due to her holding the bowl to protect Loki’s face until Ragnarok, blah blah. MCU is the MCU, Marvel comics are Marvel comics, and the myths are the myths, and y’all keep moving the goalposts with what you pick and chose from the various different media depictions. It’s perfectly fine if you included Sigyn for your fanfic or AU, but acting like it should be cannon because you cherry-picked the myths, and trash-talking an established MCU female character (Sylvie) is obnoxious. And how the fuck do you all expect everyone to be on the same page with you?

I don’t want her back in the comics unless there is some MAJOR rewriting of the relationship between her and Loki. The comics constantly retcon events to make characters either worse or more sympathetic. And I think a lot of the heroes have likely done something horribly shitty at some point but get it retconned or added. So why can’t they retcon her existance? Her story is not helpful or empowering to women. As a woman, I don’t want to see that.

And if anything, it promotes the “depraved effeminate man is especially dangerous to women” trope. That pisses me off because I have never been harrassed or in any way hurt by queer men. Cishet gender-conforming men, on the other hand… It pisses me off when a demographic that is not the typical offender gets overrepresented as such in media (*cough* Buffalo Bill). Like how “nazi” was added as a pejorative to feminist with the “feminazi” term.

I see these weird Marvel Sigyn stans acting like she is a real person and Loki “must be held accountable.” They’re not real. They’re drawings. CHILL. Use that energy to condemn real abusers (I better not learn any of you sided with Depp).

Marvel comics!Sigyn upholds the myth of the “perfect victim” that never fights back. This myth is responsible for terms such as “reactive abuse” and “mutual abuse.” There’s no such thing, it’s just self-defense.

I mean, it's her color :3

And it's not as if I had any hope of EVER seeing Sigyn in the MCU, it's way too late for that XD

No, Gigi Hadid is NOT playing Sigyn, and I am 100% fine with that :-)

However THAT outfit? Give her her headpiece and a green cape, and yup. That's Sigyn :p

I don't make the rules :3

(is it cosplaying if you (most likely) don't know the character you're cosplaying? :p )
