#Victory Woman

We imagine Loki's punishment in the mouth of the cave. After all, He is the god of many mouths, Hveðrungr, Gullveig's last stop, and Stitchlip. Why would he not be in the mouth?
Because you don't put out a fire by giving it, O Loptr, fine mountain air, sunlight, or wind.
You don't squelch a light with more light. You leave it in darkness to rot.
O, that dark primordial Thing. That cold-blooded Prometheus of the frozen north. How do you kill the deathless? You torture it to finality. Liver meet eagle. Sisyphus get happy. Loki, meet hole. (tale as old as time)
You leave him as deep as you can get him. Deep as the quick, that Blood Gave Loðurr.
And you leave that Goatballed Jester without the only thing he ever wanted. An audience. The sound of laughter. Good company.
And you leave that thrice bound sucker there to rot, wrapped round with the promise that your children, too, will be snuffed out like votive candles. Rot with them now and crawl home to your daughter. Crawling King Snake, welcome home.
That's what makes Sigyn so compelling. Sigyn, Victory Woman, The Thing With Feathers -
Rabbit says; "Joy To The Fettered,"
She flies down the tunnel, she comes heartbroken, she comes alone.
This is an Oubliette - who would choose to come but the Victorious?
This isn't Orpheus come to find her blushing bride.
This is Persephone making her bed with the mother of Monsters.
And she comes out again, from the depths which grant no mercy, with neither light, or joy, or wind, or sky. Just a bowl of poison, thirstier once emptied.
Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, comes out of the cave and the stink and the rot. And does she stop a moment? Does she breathe the alpine air and sigh and maybe, just maybe, weep?
We know just this. She goes back.
Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, knows that Nothing Lasts Forever. And someday, we know, all hell breaks loose.

maybe this is me stating the obvious because i'm ten years late to the party again, but the more i think about it, the more i realise gifting/burdening ashildr with immortality was a time lord victorious moment straight out of waters of mars, not a true gesture of kindness like the decision to save the pompeiian family – despite his attempt to absolve himself of guilt and to "logic" himself into believing that these situations are analogous, that this is the only right thing to do. why do i think so? well, because for starters he practically phrases it like a challenge: "i'm the Doctor, i save people, and if anyone up there who's listening has any sort of problem with that..."
Tumblr media
it's a declaration of rebellion, right? the kindness aspect is present, yes, absolutely, but it stems from selfishness too: above everything, it comes from a desire to prove (to Clara and himself and anybody that's listening) that he's still the Doctor. if he had genuinely been acting rationally, if his intentions had been purely altruistic, he would never have subjected a young teenager to immortality without her consent or knowledge, tearing her away from everyone she loves, especially being as painfully aware of the loneliness it can bring as he is.
sure he gives her the second patch in a hurry, after looking at clara no doubt, but does he explain anything? does he even bother to tell ashildr the truth? no, — the most important reason behind this action was winning a debate with himself and imaginary past/future enemies. that's why it backfires. that's why he visits her only on a scant few occasions over 800 years, that's why he watches her from afar but never dares come close until a coincidence brings them together.
it's not even a jack situation: she's functionally immortal because of alien technology, not divine badwolf vortex-magic. she's not a fixed point. he could visit her anytime, but he doesn't, because ashildr's a living breathing representation of his guilt, walking the earth and never finding peace. a reminder of his tendency to run from the fallout of his rash decisions.
basically, as i said before, it's totally a victor frankenstein predicament. you created a monster out of hubris, brought it back from the dead, then turned and ran from your creation, ashamed of the surrogate child you fathered. the creature you assembled. they're your responsibility now. tough.

getting correctly gendered by someone who doesn’t even know you’re trans is so euphoric to me

She seized divine Mot, With a sword she split him, With a sieve she winnowed him, With fire she burnt him, With mill-stones she ground him, In a field she scattered him; His flesh indeed the birds ate, His limbs indeed the sparrows consumed. Flesh cried out to flesh!

The first fuckfight ends with a clear winner and a sore loser. Tonight Left will enjoy the cock they were fighting over, but sooner or later Right will try to prove her rival she’s as sexy as Left.
