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) 🫡🫣🫠

[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✌️

ANSJSJW OKIE I LOVED ALL THE MCU SPIDERMAN MOVIES BUT LIKE I DIDNT RLLY WATCH THEM IN EXACT ORDER (newest to oldest),,but anyways yea! i can see that yae would drop subtle/inconspicous hints that kazu likes you and lisa would make it plain obvious. the poor boy shdhhw,,I THINK IT'D BE WORSE IF WE GAVE HIM AN UNCLE BEN INstEAD AAAHD ~Lycoris

Me when marvel also does lokicest in the same episode:

[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.

[sunnibits]

I just think he’s neat :)
