A note about Loki and Thor

After years of reading fanfiction where Loki is portrayed as a psychopath and a cunning scoundrel (for some reason this is the majority of fanfiction in my bubble?), I accidentally decided that this trope was canon. But damn, how wrong I was. Hiddleston's Loki is a very sensitive, vulnerable character who needs support and love.

Unfortunately, his mother's recognition and love are not enough. The boy needs recognition from the male part of the family. He always felt abandoned. I would like to read more fanfics where Loki is a sensitive character.

(His vulnerability is so desperately visible. The 2012 version of Loki is brutal, but we don't know what crap and heartache the character went through.)

Loki's in the series.

Disney's Loki reveals even more of the character's sensitive side. We see his pain as he looks at his life story, we see his sincere friendship with Mobius (honestly, it's amazing)

And we see how he wants to keep Sylvie safe, which could also be a hint that he is finally ready to support himself ( literally damn he supports himself) and we see his sacrifice for the sake of all loved ones and strangers.

This is what Loki would have ended up with if he had not died in Thor 3. One way or another, this version of Loki would have become the god of stories (whatever that means).

Thor

And I would also like to see a more interesting Thor, who often thanks his brother, consults, and treats him with respect.

Thoughts on Thor. We know that Thor cares about Loki, but I got the feeling that for a very long time, before Thor 1, he treated Loki like a child who doesn’t understand anything (while Thor is a teenager) and this prevents Thor from accepting him as an equal and allowing him to show Thor's mistakes.

After the 1 chapter, Thor finally matures through grief over the loss of his brother.

I really don't see much of a role for Jane Foster in his changes. I think initially he treated her as one of his hobbies, respected her intelligence, but still... I think she was more fascinated than he was.

(After all, in The Avengers he 100% had the opportunity to drop by for tea, which he didn’t take.) I think the fact that he had a lot going on and the loss of his brother played a role in his attachment to Foster.

In The Avengers and Thor 2 we see that Thor does not know how to communicate with Loki, his brother grew up the same way as him, there is awkwardness around.

Later on Sakaar we see Thor let his brother go. I imagine that he doesn’t want to witness another fake death, doesn’t want to relive it again. He is calmer knowing that Loki is somewhere, he is alive and doing his insidious deeds.

In the third part there is a feeling that they are finding a connection and an understanding of how to communicate, although this is not the end yet. Loki returned to Thor precisely when Thor let him go, allowing his brother and himself to “be themselves,” took up the affairs of his people, and took responsibility.

At this point, their growing up against the backdrop of a showdown can be considered almost complete.

I think in the end they would manage to become a good team. But it would take them a long time to learn to fully accept each other’s shortcomings. And I think one day Thor would say that he got too excited by blaming Loki for his father's death.

Oh I don't know, I just want a fanfic written by a psychologist XD

my view on the relationship between loki and sylvie-

I believe their bond is a deeply misunderstood sibling one. I think Loki didnt really comprehend how he felt and labelled it as romantic. The thing about Loki and Thor, is whilst Loki loves his brother very much, theres always been that sort of pressure and competition that he’s felt, that he needed to prove he was good enough to his parents and others. He’s always felt on such a different level to thor in a lot of ways (usually feeling less superior) and it doesnt help as well that Loki is the notorious bad guy whilst thor is the good guy. I think meeting sylvie, someone who does understand him at least in a loki way, and someone he doesnt have to try harder with to be better, I think he immediately developed a kinship with her, one he never really had with thor. And I think that because thats the first time he’s felt like that, he thought it was romantic interest- especially since for marvel loki we’ve never seen him in a serious romantic relationship, its safe to assume that maybe hes never had one, and therefore also not too used to or understanding of how romantic interest feels either.

// Just thinking about how Loki needed to learn how to be human before he could be the kind of god that could be a hero.

And the tragedy of how he hoped he could stay 'human' to be happy, only to realise that the responsibility of godhood was the inevitable, inescapable, and only answer.

So I'm a dumb and deleted the post with OP's original template in for other people to do whoops, but @antvnger tagged me in it (thanks!) and I've done answers for my muses :D

Loki

(I did half crosses for things that are 'sometimes' or 'somewhat' or 'situational'. )

Jack

(Jack did time travel once canonically but that wasn't very fun)

Astarion

(Scratch is the best dog, others have to work for it. Do nautiloids count as 'planes'? Both he and Jack like travelling fast at night but they're not typically seen in cars.)

XI

(Technically I should have half-crossed more of these as in previous regenerations he has had blue eyes, been 'born' in the 2000s and the 90's, has had a good and bad memory depending on the time and situation, and his favourite number changes. I answered for his current and fixed regeneration).

does your muse blame themselves for their trauma ?

Childhood trauma Meme

{{He does not. He see's Odins actions, and his words and all the lies he has been told.

Not that he is perfect himself... it is easier to blame others than to look within. He see's it as all Odin's fault, and how horribly he was treated by Odin. Narcissists will always blame others for their misfortunes.

Odin made him a monster, so might as well enjoy being one. }}

Loki gave free will to everyone, but once in a while, they would create small victories for Mobius.

When it rained, and there was no shelter for Mobius, somehow a forgotten umbrella would appear next to him.

And when Mobius went to order pastries at a local cafe, he would feel that no matter how long the line was, it always quickened when he stood on the queue.

Loki became the god of stories. And Mobius became the main character.

// A lot of people have their Lokis run cold and I've often had people assume he's cold to the touch because of his frost giant heritage beneath the surface. For info, my Loki is probably warmer to the touch than humans if he's in a temperate climate as I hc Asgard is a cooler temperature so his body compensated. It's possible Asgardians are superior enough to regulate their temperatures to suit and with Loki's magic, he can enhance that. I figure most cold climate creatures are designed to retain heat to survive so even in jotun form you're only going to freeze if he wants you to ;D

[dreamsuvivor]

I don’t think you all grasp the depth of the finale and the show as whole: Loki used to be a side chracter who was killed off several times and often used only as a comic relief, and now he’s one of the most important character in the whole mcu… His character arc is incredible, one of the best in the whole mcu.

And all some of you seems to care about is that your ship didn’t become canon. Are you kidding me?!

[anon-loki]

does your muse often lie by omission?

Loki looked down his nose at the greyface, the barest hint of curling his left fist. That smug smile forming on his lips. "I do not."

{{The fuck you do! Loki lies all the fucking time, omission is just one of his many tricks.}}
