We all know a boy can’t daddy until his daddy’s dead. A smart son gives gifts to his father’s friends in peacetime. When war woos him, as war will, he’ll need those troops to follow the leader. Privilege is the way men prime power, the world over.

Heimdallr is the name of one: he is called the White God. He is great and holy; nine maids, all sisters, bore him for a son. He is also called Hallinskídi and Gullintanni; his teeth were of gold, and his horse is called Gold-top. He dwells in the place called Himinbjörg, hard by Bifröst: he is the warder of the gods, and sits there by heaven's end to guard the bridge from the Hill-Giants. He needs less sleep than a bird; he sees equally well night and day a hundred leagues from him, and hears how grass grows on the earth or wool on sheep, and everything that has a louder sound. He has that trumpet which is called Gjallar-Horn, and its blast is heard throughout all worlds. Heimdallr's sword is called Head. It is said further:

Himinbjörg 't is called, | where Heimdallr, they say, Aye has his housing; There the gods' sentinel | drinks in his snug hall Gladly good mead.

And furthermore, he himself says in Heimdalar-galdr:

I am of nine | mothers the offspring, Of sisters nine | am I the son.

I say to my breath once again, little breath come from in front of me, go away behind me, row me quietly now, as far as you can, for I am an abyss that I am trying to cross.

Listening to Neil Gaiman’s fantastic Norse Mythology audiobook at the mo, so I wanted to draw some MCU Asgardians in vaguely traditional Viking dress.

Thor and Loki for now, but I’m working on the girls!

I play my part faithfully so I, too, can get to his heart. Every time, he hurts me until I bleed and scream. Then he is satisfied. Then he feels alive. In the dark... only he knows it's all real.
