Norse Gods headcanons

1. Óðinn used to have two older brothers, Vili and Ve. The three went through a lot together, like killing the giant Ymir and creating the world. At the same time the brothers took hold of Óðinn’s possessions (plus his wife Frigg), when he was away for a long time (that's in the Prose Edda, btw). He re-established his authority upon his return, but still was devastated, when they died.

2. Frigg is perfectly capable of holding her own and everybody knows. Óðinn is super protective of her anyway.

3. Frigg is actually a (far older) cousin of Þórr. (I got the idea, because in the Lokasenna, Loki calls her the daughter of Fjörgynn and Þórr’s mother Jörð is also known as Fjörgyn - I decided that Fjörgynn and Fjörgyn are siblings)

4. Loki, as a fire giant (yes, I went with that shtick), wasn’t born in Jötunheimr, but in Múspellsheimr. He got bullied for being small and ran away. He doesn’t miss Múspellsheimr, but he does miss his mother and grandmother.

5. Because Loki is a fire giant, his body is smoking hot (heh!), no matter what shape he takes. Humans can’t touch him without burning themselves and even the gods find his heat mildly unpleasant. He never feels cold and heat doesn’t bother him. Most of the time he suppresses his fire form, but it leaks through, when he gets too angry.

6. Þórr is a weather god, but also a vegetation god (being the son of Earth herself). So when he isn’t bringing rain and thunderstorms or killing Jötnar, he really enjoys gardening with his wife Sif.

7. Because Loki is Óðinn’s blood-brother, the Allfather’s children call him “uncle” sometimes, when they’re feeling affectionate (except for Höðr). Loki doesn’t mind - unless it’s coming from Baldr.

8. Baldr, with all his kindness and sweetness, is thought by everyone to be happy. But he actually suffers from a deep depression. The only ones who know the truth are his father, Höðr, Heimdallr and Loki (of all people). Hel too will know, once they meet.

9. Óðinn loves all of his children equally. Really. I swear. He just sucks ass at showing it.

10. Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Hel are triplets. They were born in exactly that order.

11. Loki cutting off Sif’s hair wasn’t a harmless prank. He did it to let everyone know, that she was unfaithful to her husband (in Norse society shearing off a woman’s hair was a punishment for adultery). Needless to say, Þórr was incensed.

12. Heimdallr sees and hears everything and knows the future. It cost him an ear, just like Óðinn had to sacrifice an eye for greater insight. But sometimes, the Guardian would sell his soul for earplugs (especially, when Loki and Sigyn get freaky).

13. Bragi used to be a Midgardian bard, who was so good, that he was deified to make music for the gods and the Einherjar in Valhalla. He’s also happily marred to Iðunn.

14. Höðr is Baldr’s younger twin and god of darkness and winter. Because he’s blind, he uses his umbrakinesis and cryokinesis to orientate himself. He’s also capable of umbraportation (teleporting via shadows/darkness).

15. Apart from his twin Baldr, Höðr has exactly two friends: Heimdallr and Bragi. Heimdallr, because he’s so understanding and Bragi, because he’s a nice guy and taught him how to play harp.

16. Óðinn and Loki are both huge pranksters. That’s one of the reasons, why they’re pals.

17. Mimir is a jötunn, but he is one, who is shapeless and doesn’t actually need a body. So being decapitated didn’t bother him at all. Most of the time he just appears in form of a talking severed head or skull, to humour Óðinn, ‘cause he’s morbid like that.

18. Mimir is Óðinn’s uncle on his mother’s side.

19. Don’t talk to Baldr, before he had his morning coffee.

20. Heimdallr doesn’t often listen to music, but he does have a playlist full of tragic opera music on his MP3 player. It’s his guilty pleasure, when he’s off duty (even he needs a break sometimes and then Huginn and Muninn cover for him).

21. Loki’s marriage to Sigyn was arranged and at first they really disliked each other. The only reason they agreed to this was because Loki wanted to be part of the community and Sigyn was the only one available, as no one wanted to marry her. Their relationship was a really slow burn.

22. Because Heimdallr sees and hears everything, he COULD blackmail everyone in Asgard (except for Baldr and Höðr, who have no skeleton in their closet). But he won’t, because he’s a nice and silent guy (unlike Loki).

23. Sigyn is a real spitfire and a shrew. Almost no one really likes her, as they find her temper hard to deal with. Most of the times it’s her husband she gets mad at, because obviously.

24. Freyja's bestie is Heimdallr, because he duked it out with Loki that one time to get her Brisingamen back. She’s also pals with Þórr, even though she considers him dumb as bricks.

25. Freyr and Freyja are twins. Freyr is the nice one and Freyja the badass one. Freyr is actually just as smart as Freyja, but it’s hard to believe, because he often acts really stupid (like, you know, “giving his sword away to get married”-kind of stupid).

26. Hel is a telepath. She can read the minds of the souls that come to her realm. She uses that ability to judge them and decide, where they go. She's blunt, extremely intelligent and as placid as she is clinical. She also happens to be a sucker for cute things and loves children.

27. Óðinn is attracted to everything that has more than five brain cells. Loki isn’t remotely that picky.

28. When Sigyn was born, she was supposed to become a Valkyrie, hence her name (it means “Victory-Bringer” or “Friend of Victory”, depending on the translation). But Óðinn quickly changed his mind, when he realised, that the girl was way too unruly to join the Choosers of the Slain.

29. Frigg is very sorrowful and very silent. Only Baldr is more sorrowful and only Viðarr is more silent.

30. Óðinn regrets treating Loki’s children the way he did, but thinks it’s too late to make it okay.
