They look pretty good side-by-side, don't they?

Concepts for my "Everyone Lives" Rays AU that I've had since 1st Ix's debut chapter. Gefion and Skiold!

Skiold being my AU name for 1st Ix due to how perfectly it fits him, mythology-wise. Skioldr is Gefion's husband in mythology! And he died as well. More on my reasoning and concepts below the cut.

In the event 1st Ix lived, I figure he'd rename himself to avoid the Ix confusion, and follow along with Gefion and Nevan in differentiating themselves. Skiold feels like a way to write his name akin to how Gefion was translated.

My very first concepts were to give Gefion and 1st Ix proper sprites (It was before we first saw Gefion's face) so that I could draw them without confusion in an imaginary post-ending sandbox scenario where they're both fine. A lot of my doodles were made after the first concept, so you'll see that one mostly. But I really feel like I'm getting close to where I want to be in the most recent 3rd concept!

Lokasenna by Lorenz Frølich 1895

"Loki spake: "Remember, Othin, | in olden days That we both our blood have mixed; Then didst thou promise | no ale to pour, Unless it were brought for us both." Othin spake: "Stand forth then, Vithar, | and let the wolf's father Find a seat at our feast" -Lokasenna 9-10

☕️ ngl I feel as though 90% of Asgard’s issues would be solved if Frigg was in charge

Agree tbh. This may be a bit of a reach, but if we adhere to the theory that Gefjun is another name for Frigg, we can take this verse as evidence that she has qualities mythologically attributed to a powerful ruler:

“Mad art thou, Loki | and little of wit,

The wrath of Gefjun to rouse;

For the fate that is set | for all she sees,

Even as I, methinks”

In conclusion, I’d say even Odin himself agrees lol
