Little known fact about me... I'm a Lokean, I have been for over a year.. I never mentioned that here, I know.. š¤
Long ass spiritual ramble under the cut
I've been occupied with other things recently (namely getting a job for the first time) and I haven't had much mental energy to interact with him... so as reconciliation (ofc he demands that I don't need to apologize or anything but I did anyway) I made a new picture to go on his altar...
I also bought a statue (it was almost $150... RIP to my wallet šššš) it looks absolutely beautiful from the product pictures and it's handmade, reviews are good too, so I'm not too mad at the price.. it was the only one I could find that looked similar to how he usually appears to me... funny enough as I was browsing etsy looking for statues while I was taking a break from sketching, I said to him out loud... "damn.. it's all viking dudes with beards... none of these look enough like a twink"... and what do you know, the very next page, I found one that looks a hell of a lot more twink-like.. he even holds a rose which has special meaning to my spiritual journey with him. (First sign I asked him to show me and is my go to for signs now, I laid a bunch of fake roses on his altar too) I genuinely believe he put that one in front of me š

Who's at the door? Chapter 6 of 'Those Horrid, Horrid Things' is up!
When Odin prophesizes Lokiās three monstrous children will bring an end to the Aesir, the trickster god decides the only way he can keep them safe is to travel through time and space to where no one will find them.
But this new world is different, with its PTOās and HOAās and all other manners of strange sigils. Lokiās children have to make some big changes to remain undetected, and the Father of Monsters themself might be in a little over their head.
Chapter 6: The Babysitter
There were fewer stars in this realm, the sky brown and faded by the lights mankind gathered in their fortresses and towns below.
No matter. Skadi only needed two to position herself and guide her over forests and fields. No snow on the ground yet, either. Not in this part of the world, but it was coming. Skadi would make sure of that.
The message had come to her in a dream as she lay before a low-burning fire in the mountains of Jotunheimr: where Loki had hidden the three monsters.
It had been difficult living with the Aesir and serving in their pantheon. But this ā hunting and tracking great beasts ā this she could do blindfolded.
So, I wrote the next chapter of Those Horrid, Horrid Things much faster than I had previously written any other chapters, which is probably because I had two scenes in particular visualized since I first conceptualized this work.
But then I took several days revising and reposting the chapter. I guess I'm nervous about it? Like, is it bad to have both a character address the queerphobia she's faced and a joke about a wolf getting indigestion from eating too much cheese in the same chapter?
But in the end I realized I've got to stop freaking out about what's supposed to be a fun lil project where I make jokes about an eleven-year-old sea serpent the size of the globe wanting anchovies on his pizza. Also, it's been a fucking week, so I'm posting it for you and me as a treat.
