Being the children of two gods that were very much good friends at the time. Thrud and Vali were bound to meet at some point and form some sort of relationship with one another. They were also a great match made in Valhalla because they both tended to play roughly, do all sorts of crazy schemes when the adults weren't looking and put themselves in dangerous situations all the time!

• From a young age, Thrud and Vali were inseparable and spend every day playing together, never becoming bored of one another for a second!
• They often got into trouble during their adventures, from raiding the pantry to trying to ride on the back of Thor's goats. There was never any peace!
• Thrud and Vali were also naturally inclined towards physical prowess and combat. They spent countless hours sparring, pushing each other to the ground and testing their limits.
• It got to the point where they'd sometimes knock out a tooth or two and Thor being the protective father he is, thought Vali was a bad influence on his daughter.
• Loki however convinced him more than once that they were just children and that it was totally normal!
• Despite their camaraderie, Thrud and Vali were also fierce competitors!
• When they weren't comparing which one of their father's were better. They constantly challenged each other, whether in strength, wit, or endurance.
• These competitions, though intense, were always underpinned by mutual respect. Each saw the other as their greatest rival and closest ally.
• As they entered their tween years, the relationship between Thor and Loki sadly began to sour. This strained the friendship between Thrud and Vali too.
• Family loyalty pulled them in different directions, and though they tried to maintain their bond, the increasing tension between their fathers made it difficult.
• They saw less of each other, and their once-constant companionship faded into distant memories.
• Vali still heard about Thrud and her achievements as a brave and strong Valkyrie, happy she had found the passion she was made for!
• But nothing was ever said about Vali or his family other than cruel rumors, which Thrud refused to believe in.
• After she was betrothed to Alviss, a dwarf whose wisdom and kindness had won her heart.
• And Thor disapproving of the match and tricked Alviss, leading to his death.
• Thrud now devastated, her heart shattered by the loss and the betrayal by her own father. In her grief, she found herself isolating from everyone, struggling to cope with the pain.
• So when Vali heard of Thrud's loss, he reached out to her despite the estrangement between their families.
• Thanks to Sif, who worried about her daughter he was able to offer her a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear.
• Slowly, Thrud began to open up to him, finding comfort in their shared history and his sudden support after so long.
• Vali's presence became a source of excitement and stability in her life.
• They often reminisced about their old adventures and dared each other to create new memories when Thor was outside of Asgard. Healing the wounds of their past estrangement.
• Vali's genuine care and understanding helped Thrud begin to move forward from her grief, and she found herself considering the possibility of loving again.
• Vali, who had always harbored deep feelings for Thrud, never understanding what it had been until then tentatively suggested that if she ever felt ready, they could explore a relationship beyond friendship.
• Thrud, touched by his honesty and patience, agreed and they'd secretly start dating each other.
• The young love birds often found themselves sneaking out at night, staying over at Vali's house pretending she was with the other Valkyries and getting back into their old schemes.
• But just when things seemed perfect for the young lovers, fate dealt a cruel blow on their relationship and families once more.
• Not only had Thor found out about their relationship through words and locked Thrud away in her room as a punishment for the time being.
• But Thrud managed to hear from her servants that Vali was about to be transformed into a wolf as part of a punishment meant to punish Loki.
• It shattered Thrud's newfound happiness and she was left heartbroken once again at her father's mercy.
• Despite her heartbreak, Thrud refused to give in to despair and remembered what Vali had done to lift her spirits.
• She decided to pack her things and break out of the comfort of her home, running away during Fimbulvinter.
• She was determined to do whatever it took to find Vali and help him, despite the poor guy disappearing after he was driven to madness as a wolf.
• Thrud took solace in the memories of their time together and the strength she had gained while being a Valkyrie to keep her going.
• Even as a wolf, Vali remained protective of Thrud without her knowledge.
• Too afraid to reveal himself in the state he was in, he watched over her from the shadows, his loyalty and love undiminished by his transformation.
• Vali always kept Thrud on the run, leaving behind traces that he was there and leading her to shelter and food intentionally whenever he could.
• Thrud's favorite pet names for Vali is:

"Ulven mín" (My wolf) "Váli mín djarfi" (Vali my brave/bold) "villdýr" (Wild beast)

• Vali in return, gave Thrud these pet names:

"Fagr mær" (beautiful maiden) "Þrúðbjört" (Bright Thrud) "mín kjæri valkyrja" (my dear valkyrie)

• Their ship name is Valthrú!
• They're bisexuals in love awhh!
• They're the definition of so many tropes like: the "childhood friends to lovers" + "Doomed lovers"

When Thjalfi and his sister Roskva were taken in by Thor as his servants, adjusting to their new lives was challenging, but they managed to stay in line. Life became brighter when they discovered that Thor's family included children around their age. Thjalfi quickly befriended all of Thor's kids and grew up alongside them.

However, as they reached puberty, Thjalfi developed a crush on Thor's favorite son, the mighty Magni, who had matured into a strong and impressive young man. Being around Magni became increasingly difficult for Thjalfi due to his burgeoning feelings for him but when they finally became a couple things got easier.

• Despite being a servant of Thor's family, Thjalfi and his sister were always treated as an equal!
• Thjalfi was always easy to get along with, sweet and a very helpful lad, which is what drew Magni in.
• Thjalfi wasn't like other men, who were hard to connect with, cold and distant!
• Thjalfi on the other hand had always admired Magni from a distant, keeping his feelings hidden for as long as he could.
• Thjalfi had always been insecure over his sexuality and falling for someone else in general.
• When he still lived in Midgard, being with the same gender, especially for men was looked down upon in his family.
• It clearly having left a mark on him, only made things worse for him later in life.
• He just knew from the day he had met Magni, that he really adored him and his strength. He was truly a sight.
• Before they got into a relationship, Magni often teased Thjalfi over how he acted around him.
• Thinking it was all in good fun and hoping it could prove his suspicion right.
• That Thjalfi had some kind of crush!
• When they finally did get together, Magni was pretty open about the fact he was dating Thjalfi and his sexuality.
• Magni never shut up about how great Thjalfi was and always praised him for his hard work.
• This always makes Thjalfi emmberesed, but at the same time he appreciates it.
• In their free time, Magni and Thjalfi like to compete against each other just for fun!
• Magni always wins when it comes to strength but Thjalfi in speed. (Cannon to their strengths in the myths!)
• They also enjoy going horseback riding on Magni's horse Gullfaxi.
• And often Thjalfi is incharge of caring for Gullfaxi, the horse bonding quite a bit with him.
• Magni even lets Thjalfi borrow Gullfaxi if he ever needs him to run errands!
• Magni has on more than one occasion, jokingly said Gullfaxi looks a lot like Thjalfi and could be their son.
• Just because the horse's gold mane looks a lot like Thjalfi's blonde locks. (Skáldskaparmál 17 refrence)
• Thjalfi doesnt like to admit how funny it actually is to him as well.
• If they are lucky the two boys are able to convince Thor and Sif they will be out riding late into the night.
• Only to actually go visit Jarnsaxa, Magni's mother in jotunheim! (Skáldskaparmál refrence)
• Jarnsaxa is very supportive of Magni's relationship with Thjalfi and always prepares food and a warm bed for them.
• She also tends to ask, ''When are you two moving to jotunheim? i know a few women who would love to give up their child to you two!''
• Magni always tries to brush this question off, meanwhile Thjalfi is left speechless at the customs they apparently hold.
• Thor and Sif are accepting of their relationship too, but didn't allow them to sleep together until they got married.
• Despite this Magni convinced Thjalfi many times to sneak into his room to cuddle during cold winters.
• Odin never favored Magni despite saving Thor at only 3 years old, thanks to his strength. (Skáldskaparmál reference)
• So when he heard Magni and Thjalfi were dating, he had more reasons to hate on Magni. But Magni could careless!
• Magni's favorite pet names for Thjalfi is:

"Alfi" (Shortened version of his name) ''Unnvinur'' (Beloved friend) ''Hraðskreiðr'' (Fast runner)

• And Thjalfi's pet names for him is:

"Hraustmaðr¨ (Brave man) ''Mikilmaður'' (Great man) ''Elskandi'' (Lover)

• Their ship name is Thjagni!
• Magni is the dominant one.
• They're both gay men, woohoo!
• They're quite literally the "rich kid and his servant" trope.

Fulla was one of Frigg's handmaidens, like many other Ásynjur goddesses, but she held a special role in personally attending to Frigg’s needs. Fulla kept Frigg entertained with engaging conversations, assisted her in managing daily tasks, and took care of her footwear. Their relationship grew more intimate when Frigg, feeling neglected by Odin and hurt by his infidelities, sought solace in Fulla.

This comfort soon blossomed into a romantic relationship. Frigg finding reassurance in knowing that Fulla genuinely cared for her when her husband did not. Meanwhile, the devoted and loyal Fulla, deeply enamored with Frigg, considered herself fortunate to serve and love her lady without hesitation or complaint.

• They might have a big difference in power dynamic but Frigg never takes advantage of her status, especially not against Fulla. If anything she makes sure Fulla, despite being a servant gets the same treatment as her!
• While both Frigg and Fulla love to chat and gossip. Fulla finds herself to be the one listening most of the time.
• Fulla from the very start was always so smittend by Frigg's beauty and grace.
• Every night Fulla found herself treassuring everything they shared together, excited to see her again.
• Sadly when their relationship became romantic, they had to keep it a secret from most of the aesir.
• That way Odin wouldn't find out about it and unleash his wrath upon the two.
• The two ladies would only be open about their relationship with certain people like: Gná, Hlín, Lofn, Sjofn, Baldr, Nanna, Hodr and Hermod.
• The wodden box Fulla holds is very symbolic, containing not only the truth about their relationship but all of Frigg's most precious secrets.
• Fulla takes her role as not only Frigg's handmaiden but as the protector of Frigg's secrets very seriously. She would rather die where she stands then tell.
• Fulla wears a golden band around her free hair, it being a gift from Frigg. (Gylfaginning Chap.35 reference)
• To others it symbolic of Fulla being a virgin, a lady in waiting but little do they know the real meaning behind it.
• It's a way to keep Fulla out of harms way and from prying eyes of men. That way, Frigg can protect that she holds dearest! It being almost a similar case to Baldr.
• The very few times when Frigg could travel, she brought Fulla with her. Unable to stay away from her even when she had free time to do as she pleased.
• On more than one occasion they had to say they were "found sisters" because of how close and affectate they were.
• The two women also practiced seidr together, it turning into a intimate ritual between them whenever they were alone. (Second merseburg incantation)
• Baldr might have been the favorite son of Odin, but it Fulla who had delivered and together with Frigg, had raised her sons when they were young children!
• Because Odin was an absent father in the early days, always traveling. Frigg found herself struggling through motherhood alone without him!
• But since Fulla lived in their hall, she was able to aid her lady in need, making their bond even more closer.
• The woman was a passionate and caring step-mother, somehow made to manage three wild playful children.
• She would also pay special attention to little Hodr, helping him navigate through the world and teaching him how to read runes with his fingers.
• Fulla wouldn't dare call herself the mother to any of Frigg's children, in fear to disrespect Odin. But Hermod, Hodr and Baldr view things a little differently.
• They absolutely adore Fulla, secretly seeing her as a second mother.
• Even accepting her as a part of their family, not just because she helped take care for them but because she deserved their mother's love and affection.
• When Baldr started having nightmares, both the ladies were worried sick, knowing through the prophecies Frigg had spoken about it could be time.
• Fulla was the one to offer to comfort their family, while Frigg was out.
• Once Frigg had lost not only one son, but two. Fulla felt protective over her lady more than ever, refusing to let anyone near them! Not even Odin.
• They'd spent days just laying in Fulla's bed, trying to grieve in each other's arms. Frigg didn't even care what Odin thought, all she needed was Fulla.
• But even in death Nanna and Baldr would not be forgotten as they gave gifts back to their family, even Fulla. (Gylfaginning chap. 49 reference)
• The pet names Frigg gave Fulla are:

"Hirðmey" (court maiden) "Gullband" (golden band) "Fríðr" (beautiful)

• While Fulla's pet names for Frigg is:

"Hjartkona" (heart-woman/wife) "Ástvinur" (beloved friend) "Min drottning" (my queen)

• Their ship name is Frulla!
• Frigg is a dominant switch, while Fulla is a power bottom. They're both gentle and soft lovers.. Very wholesome!
• I always imagined Frigg being bisexual, because I truly do believe she loved Odin until he cheated. Fulla is obviously painted to be a lesbian in my opinion.
• They give off ''forbidden lovers'' vibes!

When Nanna first came to Helheim, Hel already knew what the poor woman had went through to get to her realm.

She had seen her beloved husband die, attended his funeral only to die from heart failure and now she was seperated from her only surviving son Forseti.

Just when life had been so perfect for her, things had just crumbled to the ground and out of all people, the queen of helheim could relate to such a tragedy.

Hel tried her best to be softer and gentler with Nanna, feeling sympathetic towards her at first. After all she was the only other goddess she could talk to and she didn't want to make a bad impression my seeming cold and harsh!

In return for Hel's kindness she manages to make the quiet and grief filled woman open up to her. Revealing what she was truly like before death had taken her.

Nanna was a kind, loving, and motherly woman. The embodiment of gentleness!

• The two ladies both bond over how fragile they are, Hel being physically fragile and Nanna emotionally.
• Nanna loves to tend to Hel, often carrying the more slender and taller woman around when her legs give in.
• Nanna is very good at combining through long hair, as well as styling! (Setre Comb Reference)
• So Hel let's her take care of her hair, since she doesn't have time to think about that. Letting Nanna style it however she likes, just so she has something to do while she works.
• They often offer each other comfort and solace when things are rough. Revealing a depth of understanding that surprises even Hel herself.
• Nanna often shares stories of Asgard with Hel, who is fascinated by the tales of the gods and goddesses. Hel, in turn, shares the secrets of her realm.
• Hel is fiercely protective of Nanna, especially after the world was reborn. Anyone who dares to disrespect or harm her will face Hel’s wrath.
• Nanna, in turn, is fiercely loyal and supports Hel in all her endeavors.
• Nanna is very good with children, thanks to her previous experiences as a mother. Hel really admires this, especially when she'd help take care for Narfi, Hel's younger brother.
• Nanna has always felt self-conscious about her body, especially her weight, curves and stretch marks.
• When Baldr had first spotted her bathing privately and she had reached motherhood, it only added fuel into these insecureties.
• To help Nanna feel proud and more at ease, Hel showers the woman in compliments and gentle intimate touches. She even shares her own insecurities. Revealing how being half-dead makes her feel out of place and unnatural.
• Nanna loves making up pet names for Hel and tease her playfully, making the queen of helheim all flushed.
• Nanna's favorite pet names for Hel is:

"Heljarfrú" (Lady Hel) "Leikin" (playmate/companion) "Min Majestet" (My Majesty)

• Hel in return, gives a few pet names back. But doesn't use them as often as Nanna would on her:

"Min Ása" (my goddess) "Hjarta" (heart/dear one) "Mánielska" (Beloved moon/dear moon)

• After a long day of managing her kingdom, Hel loves to cuddle with Nanna in her chambers, nuzzling into her neck and leave kisses all over her.
• Nanna was at first afraid of Hel's Pets: Garmr and Helhest. But eventually softened up to them and now, spends her days caring for them when Hel is busy with her packed schedule.

• Hel x Nanna are giving🌙 x ☀️ vibes!
• Their ship name is Helna now!
• If you ever wonder who the more dominant woman is, it's both :)
• I'd like to imagine that in most cases with this ship, Baldr is happy for Nanna.
• It just feels like something he would be, especially if it's easier for Nanna to move on this way. He is content knowing his former wife is in good hands!
• Generally I always imagined Nanna to be straight, but for the sake of the ship she is giving such a "I didn't figure out I was attracted to women until I met my girlfriend" vibe.
