Loki + Odin=Marvel!Loki

This is part (2/3) of a series.

This is the most obvious "equation" out of the three, being that all Norse myth adaptations have an Odin and Loki (unlike say, the lesser known Skadi), so they both have high visibility.

Marvel's version of Loki (mostly referring to the comics but some of this applies to the MCU to some extent) is some weird mixture of myth!Loki, myth!Odin, and sometimes the Devil because Christians decided Loki was "the Norse devil" (by this, I mean original Earth-616 Loki being the "God of Evil" and referring to himself as "Satan" in his very first appearance (Venus comics)) that has until fairly recently become more Loki-like (i.e. reincarnation and onwards).

Odin and Loki are quite similar in the myths (They're both SHIFTY BASTARDS and partake in "female interests" to different extents). So it works out especially when Marvel's Loki is raised by Odin.

Marvel!Loki's similarities to Odin:

Myth!Loki is not a master sorcerer (that's myth!Odin) and is merely a shapeshifter. Myth!Loki can shapeshift themselves and others in the myths which is a common ability of the Jotnar. But is not shown to do seidr or seek it out. That's Odin. I am basing it from the Lokasenna where Odin and Loki are arguing over who's more "argr." Basically going "oh yea, well you're gayeyer" at each other. Calling each other slurs. Odin calls Loki argr for giving birth as a woman for "8 winters" and Loki calls Odin argr for practicing seidr and disguising as an old woman. Loki’s shape-shifting is not considered “seidr” and it’s just something Jotnar do all the time. Seidr pertains especifically to clairvoyance magic and rituals, according to Jackson Crawford's video on it.

In the comics, Loki sacrificed himself for himself (to reincarnate and try to break out of predictability). In the mythology, Odin sacrificed himself for himself by spearing himself and hanging from Yggdrassil for 9 days, to gain knowledge (see the runes for Galdr). In the MCU, Loki sacrifices himself for others multiple times to the point where it's a meme. But the thematic elements of self-sacrifice and resurrection are there, and his final sacrifice is associated with a tree.

Loki in the myths is more of a Looney Tunes character sort of schemer. He schemes, cheats, and lies, but it's usually for a short-term goal such as saving his ass from all the wacky situations he ends up in through his fault or by being scapegoated. Not very Machiavellic. He's not plotting to rule take power. Though he may engage in malicious pranks and the occasional murder (Balder). Though aspects of this may still apply to Marvel!Loki.

Marvel comics Loki is associated with corvids. Magpies rather than ravens. But it's interesting his animal that carried a copy of his soul was also a corvid.

However, there are still plenty of similarities with myth!Loki.

Loki is a scapegoat. In mythology, Loki is the only one that receives punishment for misdeeds, and its always disproportionate (mouth sewn shut, horse impregnation, bound by the entrails of his son as a snake drips burning venom on his eyes, etc). This is similar to how the Thor Comics written before 2012-ish expect you not to find Loki sympathetic and add thought bubbles of Loki thinking evil things while being punished to show it was "deserved". He is portrayed as a sympathetic scapegoat and villain within the MCU.

Loki is an outsider. In mythology, he's one of two deities speculated to be associated with the Sámi people, and a Jotnar that was brought into the Aesir fold through a blood oath with Odin ("blood brothers). Some speculate Odin did this to try to prevent Ragnarok, plus Loki was his shifty buddy for a while. In Marvel, he's a Jotun that was adopted into Asgard.

Loki doesn't fit conventional Asgardian gender role standards. Despite Marvel's retcon, it was quite obvious Asgardians had gender expectations (e.g. Thor lashes out at being called "princess" and nearly starts a war over that insult, Sif being a shield maiden being a huge deal, Loki's magic being dismissed as "tricks" and less important than battle in deleted scenes (grain of salt bc deleted scene)).

Loki is closer to his mother. It has been state by John Lindow that Loki's use of a matronymic surname indicates an absent or inadequate father. In the MCU, his adoptive mother taught him magic and is the parent he's closer to. This is not the case in Marvel comics, where Frigga/Freyja (they can't make up their mind how to name her) rejected Loki (*Blood Brothers aka Loki (2004) was so influential to me*). And tried to force them into a villainous role post-reincarnation.

I think the MCU's Sif and Loki dynamic is weirdly similar to Loki and Skadi (and I elaborate on the previous post 1/3).

Loki causes Ragnarok in some way. In Marvel comics, Loki does still kill Balder and cause Ragnarok often. In the MCU, he technically also started Ragnarok, but it was to save the rest of the realms. In the mythology, after escaping his torturous punishment, he leads the armies of Hel against Asgard on a ship made of nails.

Odin and Loki are considered to be similar in both the MCU and the myths. In the mythology, they were considered to be so similar, it was speculated Loki may be a hypostasis of Odin by Folke Strom. In the MCU, Hela remarks how similar Loki is to Odin.

[findroleplay]

Hiya! I’m Izzy 23 she/they and 20+ is preferred but 18+ is also okie dokie. I’ve been roleplaying for about 10 ish years I’m looking for roleplayers who write in the third person and between two and five paragraphs. I only write on Discord so please be willing to move over there. I’m mainly looking for plots containing romance, angst, fluff, hurt, and comfort. If you’re comfortable, I’m open to roleplaying NSFW themes, ABO, and in some cases poly relationships. All of that being said all Characters will be 18+ at the very least. Fandoms I’m looking for Yellowstone: I’m mainly looking for OCXCC I’ve never actually roleplayed for this fandom before but like I’ve got all this muse and nowhere for it to go.

Marvel (MCU and Comics): I’m open to OCxCC, CCxCC, ABO, and Poly in this one I love world-building and meshing MCU canon with comic Canon and our own idea’s as well. If we’re doing CCXCC I do have a distinct preference of M/M pairings but I am open to some M/F and F/F and other paring combinations. I have an insanely long list of ships and characters I play so if you’re interested please just ask me for it and I’ll send it over rather than putting it all here. Harry Potter (Marauders Era after graduation only): I’m open OCxCC and CCXCC I adore world-building for this one and bending Canon to fit our liking. I do also prefer to have multiple characters and moving parts in these plots in the background. I also have a hella long list of characters and ships that’s ready upon request. Though if I had to say what my biggest muse for this right now is Dorcas MeadowesxRemus Lupin.

For Harry Potter, I also have a platonic plot centered around James and Remus in an AU where James and Harry survive and Lily dies.

Criminal Minds: I’m open OCxCC, CCXCC. ABO and Poly ship here as well. I like to have a nice blend of slice of life and other things with a little bit of casework. Basically the reverse to what the show gave us. The ships I’m looking for are Hotchgan, Moreid, Demily, Davily

Supernatural: I’m just looking for OCxCC here uhmm it’s been a hot minute since I’ve roleplayed this fandom. I think I’ve seen up to season ten for sure? I am planning on finishing it soon. I think my OC would pair up nicely with Dean or Cas but I’m open to your suggestions as well. 

I do double up and honestly I really enjoy it. I work and I’m a college student so response times vary. I try to respond daily but some times it takes 3-5 days if it’s going to be longer, I try my best to let you know ahead of time. Sometimes I literally have no idea what day of the week it is because my executive function is weak. All that aside I love to plot, brainstorm, world build, share media and playlists, and just all the things with my partners. I also adore OOC chatter.

If this interests you please feel free to add me on discord at noneherself#8063 Or like this ad and I’ll be in touch real speedy like.

Okie please be kind alright?!

I don’t post much of my oc comic strips cause my ocs are a personal thing to me … but I drew this a while back and just finished colouring it

so here’s a post about my OC Arwen, this is supposed to be set in the DC comic/Matt reeves’ universes combined, she is the adopted daughter of catwoman and trains to be catgirl and over the course of the storyline that I gave them, she becomes one of the batgirls, then her own vigilante named ghost (no this isn’t based off ghost from COD or from the mcu I came up with this vigilante name for my oc before I knew of their characters), then she ends up changing her superhero name to Salem.

I shipped this OC with Jason Todd aka Red Hood because I love his character so fucking much, like you don’t understand just seeing fan appreciation for him, like fanart and fanfics and headcanons, it made me so happy and got me through some difficult times since like last year, which is impressive for me cause I find a new fandom to hyperfixate on and a new fictional crush too fucking quickly, it’s not healthy…….. :D

So yeah anyways she is speaking to Selina Kyle aka catwoman in the second photo and they are nicknamed kitten by catwoman.

I have more sketches, doodles and drawings of this oc so I’m gonna post some more later.

Some info on my oc:

Arwen is bisexual and goes by she/they pronouns, she is in her mid twenties by the end of the backstory I gave her extensively on my notes app (which I will NEVER show any of you) 🫡🫣🫠

1st-Indecently Interesting... I'll definitely use some of that! ;) 2nd-Soon my Genius friend, I swear it! :) 3rd-Darn! But OK!

I find the Xenomorph a Very Sexy Alien! ;) OK. U are MISSING out! MCU is a Daddyland! ;) 7 Daddies! ;) But I won't bother anymore with it. :) Which POTC Sexys? ;)

;)

Okie!

I don't think so :/ I don't have much juice for the series overall

Maybe Will Turner and Captain Jack Sparrow. But only maybe. I haven't seen the series in a while and I've never really thought about it like that before

[imjustheretoseetheprivateblogs]

Feel free to reblog. Do it and I’ll love you forever

[spacedoutrosie]

ah yes, a new account. well here goes an introduction. hOwdY iM sPaCedOuTRoS-

*ahem*, sorry needed to clear my throat.

Heya, i'm rosie :)

i'm in college and majoring in astronomy and minoring in astrobiology and mcb because i want to study exoplanets. i've loved space and science all my life, with my favorite subject after space being biology, specifically molecular biochemistry (hence the mcb minor).

like most of us on tumblr i'm ✨mentally ill✨ and neurodivergent. i have horrible anxiety, adhd, anger issues, and i'm autistic.

i'm also a big ol queer. i'm panromantic, demisexual, and genderqueer. i use neopronouns, e/em/er/es/ers. they're used like he/she but drop the front consonants. like "e only has one dress of es, but er mom gave em another. now e has two. e's sewing another emself" for example. i'll prob make another post about it.

you could probably guess my political alignment, but im going to make it explicit by saying the following statements: fuck trump, acab, blm, queer rights, eat the rich, down with capitalism, howdy comrade, let's kill some nazis.

onto my fandom interests ✨

active interests: supernatural, the magnus archives, gotham, DCU, MCU, dungeons and dragons, thomas sanders sides

less active, but i've seen it and enjoyed it: AtLA, LotR, gravity falls, unwell (podcast), how to train your dragon, princess bride, interstellar, trollhunters/tales of arcadia, miraculous ladybug, jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer, scissor seven, phineas and ferb, centaurworld, disenchanted, steven universe, beastars, total drama island

OH YEAH i'm also in the Society for Creative Anachronism and am learning how to sword fight for real along with other medieval skills.

okie dokie artichokie i think that's it, peace out✌️

[trashyandtiredsol]

Alrighty am free now less do dis >:3

OKAY SO-

Names Sam Elizabeth McKenna (same as my DCU oc as well- they're both basically each other in each universe, one in the MCU and the other in the DCU, with both universes being AU version's)

Code name's Water Strider- it just sounds better than Water Spider to me :P

Also I just couldn't figure out a name with some variation of spider and a variation of water that sounded nice so I just stuck with an aquatic bug name I liked that sounded similar (ALSO- kinda connects with a little background lore but that parts not super necessary)

Alsooo the name actually works for a power move Sam uses that I like very much :3 (literally striding/gliding/walking/propelling across a body of water)

Now that I mention her powers- it's basically water manipulation plus water breathing, which is her only mutant ability, plus og Spider-man's powers, PLUS 4 organic extra arms on her back (with some very slight fuzz all over em that kinda acts like tiny cat whiskers- tho idk if I wanna keep that)

(there's lore for this dontcha worry ;3)

I was also thinking of having a slit at the ends of each extra arm for a claw to appear out of (that can also retract- like cats :3) tho knowing me I'd forget about that as soon as I decide to add it 😅) (so- 50/50 on that)

(tho the extra arms aren't permanent cuz- lore✨) (focusing on power explanations first)

I also was thinking organic webbing? It could work like regular Spider-Man webs PLUS the added bonus of working in tandem with her water manipulation (webs turning into ice shards to blast at enemies and just like- ye idk any other examples) (water manipulation being she's able to control ANY water on the planet, no matter the form- water in drinks, sweat, water in blood, rain, the entire ocean, ice, water vapor, etc) (aaaaannd also is able to make herself fully into water- and a titan sized water lady)

ALSO- I'm thinking of her mutant classification being somewhere in omega level cuz y'know- ocean manipulation and titan sized water lady stuff

OKAY uhh- I think that's all for her powers! :D

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Now LORE/BACKGROUND STUFF

OKI so- childhood friends with Peter Parker and Ned since..... the first year of middle school (adding some elements from the marvel movies cuz why not- with an au spin of course) (also they don't know she's a mutant until a certain event senior year of highschool- gonna get back to that)

Powers manifest at... close to her 14th birthday- tho her powers start off very.. mild? Ye they're quite easy to control as long as her emotions are in check for the most part

However! That doesn't last long ;)

Powers start getting more out of hand- gradually.. until a fateful day a week after junior year of highschool ends

She gets kidnapped basically (mutant experimentation facility and what not- nothing super specific so far for that :P)

SO: for the entirety of that summer and senior year and THAT following summer- misses graduation, is considered missing, there's a whole investigation by Spider-Man that led to a dead end, all that stuff

THEN- THEEEEEEEEN🎵

X-MEN! NANANA!🎵

(Junior year - senior year - next year - year after)

(Note: Sam gets experimented on and the facility people add the arms and webs and fangs and spider powers, plus some extra animals sprinkled in there cuz yeah- experimentation✨ this includes one called water strider (same one as before mentioned- searched these lil dudes up awhile ago and they seem interesting so I thought I'd add em on ;3)

The year highlighted is when the X-Men get officially involved being tasked with trying to find a mutant experimentation facility (same one as before)

sOoOoo they get a lead to New York- Spidey hears about this and wants to help cuz hero✨✨✨✨

They find the facility in some wicked obscure remote location

They sneak in (there's a sorta specific X-Men squad I have in mind for this- [basically the X-Men 97 show's team] Nightcrawler (later love interest cuz fuk ye), Gambit, Rogue, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Morph, Storm, yeah the whole X-Men 97 team, I can't remember anymore rn ajhdsjfjf) PLUS SPIDER-MAN das important

They find a buncha holding cells with a buncha different mutants (not super important for this to go in specifics there)

So the squad and Spidey are all trying to get all the mutants out and LO AND BEHOLD SPIDEY FINDS SAM

So there's a Spidey sense thing that happens and they Sam figures out who Spider-Man is like- as SOON as he talks after the Spidey sense thing between em

There's a reunion and what not- tho it has to be short lived cuz they gotta get the fak outta there before they might get captured- plus Sam's equausted from quote on quote "training" the facility does so there's not much that happens here

Que Sam and Peter getting told by Nightcrawler to get going-

Que them running to the plane and leaving the facility and Kurt introducing himself and also the X-men telling all the mutants from the facility where they'll be going

So ye Kurt introduces himself and making sure Sam doesn't got any injuries or something, Sam introduces herself and compliments Kurt's eyes or something and they hit it off- Peter being in the conversation to as well somewhere (idk ashhdjhskfj- just ain't getting into live interest stuff yet- that comes in like- officially around 2 years for them but it starts like 6 months after this

So after that Spidey bids adew to everyone and goes back to New York and Sam stays at the Manor for a year (for proper training and and a trainee X-Men suit (black and yellow and what not and is spider themed like Peter's but obviously different)

So ye full year- Sam trains, gets an introduction into the X-Men, gets to know the X-Men, is able to do senior year at the mansion, graduates, starts falling for Kurt, teased relentlessly about it from some other X-Men, same goes for Kurt on his end falling for Sam

(Sam also gets the codename Water Strider during this year- since I headcannon the mansion being right next to a big lake and Sam's able to grow her powers there- so that'd include the whole water striding/gliding/walking

Once that year's over Peter invites her to stay at Stark tower with him for a year to meet the avengers and catch up and see Ned and meet MJ and everything :P

(am a sucker for Stark being like a dad to Peter so I'm adding it :3)

(also I like the ship between Stark and Dr Strange so that's also in there)

During that years Sam gets training from Black Widow cuz fuk ye that sounds awesome- she also makes a new suit, her official OFFICIAL hero suit, with help from Stark and Peter of course cuz she's not the most tech savvy Spider variant out there 😅)

(this suit she wears from here onwards, for now at least- cuz I got an idea, I just haven't fleshed all this out enough yet to work on it)

Aaaaannd now It's the following year and Water Strider and Spider-Man are patrolling New York

The X-Men are again in New York- smaller group, to check on Sam and see how she's doing (group includes Kurt, told ya the love interest stuff would come back >:3)

So ye dynamic Spider Duo arrive back at Start Tower after patrolling when they see the X-Men arriving (they let Stark know ahead of time- tho he didn't tell either Peter or Sam cuz Surprise!!!! Also he knows Sam's crushing ajhdkvjsjf)

So ye X-Men arrive and surprise surprise!!- plus they get to see Sam's new suit and Kurt's all smitten at this point seeing how much Sam's grown over the past year and it's basically all fluff while the X-Men hang around the tower for the day either training with Peter and Sam or just hanging out or playing games. They have lunch there and stay a bit into the evening, not for dinner tho :P

Sam's invited back to the Mansion whenever she likes (she definitely does take up that offer plenty, cuz Kurt and being X-Men and all)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

OKAY- uhhhhh yeah that's the main stuff!! Got a little carried away with the background info there 😅 (it's more background info at this point than lore)

Wanted to be as detailed as possible without going super overboard with it

And for drawing Sam- I suppose you could draw her in something I'd wear if you want to! Or even in the trainee suit (it's mainly just the basic back and yellow with an X going across the chest- gotta find pictures for this cuz I got something specific in mind ajhdjzfjsjc)

Or official suit (the main colors a lightish blue if you wanna try designing something- I can give you more info and a ref on it when I get around to finishing the one I barely started)

Also- final "also-" - the arms retract

And mentioning the "lore" for the arms now: they aren't a permanent thing, there's an incident probably a few years or so down the line where the get burned and sliced off :P

Aaaaannd there is definitely more to this but all of that's later on after Kurt and Sam get together- plus it ain't super important at the moment

Update: Sam is honestly very heavily based off me- so personality wise she's basically me, with some similar background info growing up as well, plus likes and dislikes and interests and well

:D

Cmon Trashy👀

Feed us with that XMEN OC OF YOURS 👀👀👀👀

ILL DRAW THEM. WITH AL'

I haven't really drawn her (besides some basic outline that I can't find ahdhajfj)

But I do got lore :3

And descriptions actually-

You alright with a buncha descriptions?

And maybe a color palette if I find that suit outline picture later after I get home in a bit over an hour?

Update: actually- hmmmm might do a sketch when I get home to

Me whenever mobius said: Who are you, what’s your name?

Me when marvel also does lokicest in the same episode:

[victor-aguilar]

okie!!!! so runaways has been like my main spinterest since like about march? or april of 2022! its a show that was on hulu based on marvel comics. it isnt part of the mcu though its like the separate tv universe which btw they made daredevil canon??? so like technically ig by extension so's this shit? but it makes no sense cause so much it doensg align anyway.

its abt a group of teens who used to be childhood best friends but fell apart after the oldest of their group died. but they decide to get together again for old times sake and discover their parents are evil sacrificing cult leaders, execpt thats also not all black and white, anywyq they decide to fight back and eventually, like literally last ep of s1 they finally run away.

um yeah, i care less abt the plot more abt the characters but i feel like im going on and on so i will stop now!

um hii i was the shy anon or wtv hi

omg it's youu hiii!!!!!

[mobiues]

why yes,  i do think mcu should stop being a coward and start to properly display loki’s powers even more

[shenanigans-and-imagines]

Boastful Loki - "I just had a terrific idea!" Snarker Sigyn - "That nice, but no."

I honestly see Snarker!Sigyn just pulling out her phone, pressing record and being like, “no babe, you go for it”.

She’s being making an epic cringe compilation.
