Runemarks and Co. some legends are told

Runemarks fan blog, padded out with some general Norse mythology. This blog contains swearing and adult themes/sexual references, plus some minor tagged upper nudity. Have fun scrolling and check out the links for navigation! Submissions and conversation always welcome.

norse mythology: frigg

As the bone-wrench, so for the blood wrench, so the limb-wrench bone to bone, blood to blood, limb to limb, so be glued.

So I meant to post earlier that I’d finally got a copy, but wow I was too busy reading said copy to make this post. Surprisingly enough considering it’s pre-Maddy, I think it’s my new favourite book of the series. It was just that good. Not quite recalibrated yet after reading it and I’m now hungering to reread Runelight, which is going to be all kinds of different colours in the light shed by Testament. When I’m not on mobile I’ll post again, in the mean time I’ll be working on finishing the fic I started before I got the book. I know everyone in the fandot is still in various stages of reading/yet to get a copy, so I’ll refrain from spoilers on this page. If you follow me on main, you can block “runemarks spoilers” and “testament spoilers.” Ye gods, though. I loved this. - Violet

  He’s just so cute and playful and irreverent in these pictures. I’m getting kicks out of imagining Odin having to put up with him.

Odin: What, What are you doing? Loki: Playing in the snow. Odin: Aren’t you a grown man? Hmph! *turns back on him* You’re being ridiculous! *gets snowballed* *turns around* Loki: *smiling and not even trying to look innocent what with a second snowball in his hand*

OMG i’ve just found inspiration for the next photoset *__* Thank you! <3

A Note From Your Local Public Menace, re: Rune fandom prompts,

Due to us being a real small fandom and spread very thinly over the globe, there seems to not really be a conceivable way for us to all do a prompt month for the launch of Testament together. I’d still like to do the prompts though, because I’m nothing if not someone who takes an absurd amount of pleasure in meticulously structuring things which rarely if ever come to fruition. Over the next few weeks I’ll come up with some prompts, possibly ones pre-reading Testament and ones for post-reading, so that we can all participate in our own little ways at our own pace and when we get a chance to buy and read the new book.

Please, if anyone has any prompt ideas from now until the end of May, message me or comment/reblog below! I’m basically just looking for ideas for prompts to generate meta, headcanons, fanart, edits, fanfic, any kind of fanmade stuff.

My lads my folk my good good folk,

I am looking to get HYPED for Testament of Loki; it’s due out on May the 17th though I still have to organise with my local bookshop a pre-order if I can even afford that right now (sidebar: if you can support your local bookstore instead of purchasing online! I know it’s usually about $5-$10 more expensive but consider it book tax to keep bookstores around because let’s be real, the world would really suck without bookstores, and let’s be realler, when a bookstore closes a fairy dies).

We’re a slow-moving and pretty small fandom and we’re spread over the world so the book may be releasing at different dates depending on translation and country. If you see this post leave a comment below or a letter in my inbox to note when you can afford to/plan to/are physically and legally able to get your hands on Testament of Loki, and maybe we’ll organise some sort of Runemarks month for fanart and fanfic and fanknitting! I’ve always wanted to get us involved with some sort of materal-generating prompt-based malarkey, especially seeing as we’re lucky to have some great artists, but unlucky in that the characters listed in the Runebooks outnumber the amount of fanfics we have.

Any takers?

Update: I've gotten mixed feedback and it seems most people (including myself), won't be able to read Testament until June or July, so instead of making it a time-centred thing I'm going to spend the next week or so coming up with some prompt ideas for fan-stuff generation and then post it once it's done. I'll make another post on this soon so it'll pop up in the tags again but basically I'll make it so that people can take part before or after or whenever they feel like it.
