Nämforsen. Näsåker, Sweden Seen as one of the biggest rock carving area in northern Europe, it has approximately 2500 individual carvings. Dated to the Early Neolithic Period (4000-1800 BCE). The carvings are made up of different kinds of figures, but most common are elks, salmon, dogs but aslo humans, ships, sun wheels and “footprints”. We don’t know the reason why or how people made these carvings, and little is known about who they were, it’s only left for us to look upon and maybe get a little glimpse into how these people look at the world and maybe used the carvings to process their thoughts.

so she isn't the only one who talks around the way things were like it's a beast coiled at their feet, poised to strike. and maybe it's cruel to take comfort in that, but at least she comes by it honestly. she's always favored him that way.
“forgive me, father. i was raised by barbarians who taught me everything a god did was sacred.”
even the old trees forget themselves from time to time—whisps of laughter escape from shadows of the wood, stirring up leaves and shooing a host of sparrows from their perch on nearby branches.
“that makes two of us, anyway. i'm not holding it against you.”
and there, in all its sudden confounding sincerity, is the admission her pride still won't let her make in so many words. i didn't know any better.
He studies her quietly for a moment. She’s handled him well so far, taken his provocation in stride and maintained her dignity, staying true to herself and her position without lashing out and offending forces greater than her. Worthiness is never fully proven; it is life’s perpetual conversation, the uphill battle one chooses to fight—but today, at least, she is consistent. He respects this. Perhaps he will sweeten the bitter ash on his tongue, if only a little.
“So you’ve come to thank me,” he says, sighing; with his breath, a warm breeze dances through the brush. “With words alone?”
He could ask, too, the same question she may have for him: Why now? But the answer would likely be just the same as his: Why not? It is where the wind has moved him today; it is where her mind moved her. Forces of nature do consider the significance of timing: it is afterward that meaning is ascribed, carved into the experience like rune to rock.

Something I really don't like about adaptations of Norse mythology is that even outside of Marvel's sphere of influence, Loki is consistently portrayed as physically weak/an unskilled fighter who lacks muscle and relies solely on trickery and ranged magical spells when in the original mythology, he:
Is a god
Is a jötunn
Is a viking god who hangs out with other vikings and does viking things like crusades and warfare
Has previously engaged in extreme acts of violence (mauling Fimafeng, bludgeoning an otter-dverg with a rock, ripping off a troll's leg twice in Loka Táttur without any mention of a weapon) and will continue to do so until the day he dies (the battle of Ragnarök)
Is fated to die in battle against Heimdall, who also dies, which implies that the two are equal in strength, or that at the very least, Loki knows his way around a battlefield
Causes earthquakes every time he writhes in pain
Rarely uses magic outside of shapeshifting and is very unlikely to Eldritch Blast his way out of a situation

Trickster makes the world by giving the gods their most important symbols, thereby making Them who they are. Inspired by the Snaptun Stone. Original is acrylic on wood.
I liked this version my better, but unfortunately, I can't sell prints because I worked too close to the edges and the printer cuts bits of it off. :/ oh well. I'm trying to fix it in GIMP, but I'm not great at painting in GIMP yet.
