God of Stories is very fitting, but I think God of Queers is more suitable.

There’s zero chance Loki and Hela having so many similarities is just a coincidence. And even though we’re most definitely never getting a full explanation for it, I’m so curious as to what you guys believe the reason is. Do you think:

a.) Loki’s a shapeshifter who can see people’s memories when he touches them. So when Odin picked him up as a baby, he saw Hela in Odin’s mind and shifted himself to resemble her.

b.) Loki and Hela have the same biological mother.

c.) Hela is Loki’s biological mother.

d.) Odin changed Loki to look like Hela when he first held him, because he missed her.

e.) Hela’s biological mother is jotun, and she and Loki both have black hair/pale skin/green aesthetic/etc because that’s just what frost giants look like when they take an asgardian form.

f.) Hela and Loki are both adopted, both children of Laufey. Odin took Hela centuries earlier, then when he realised Laufey’d had another child, he took Loki too.

**I’ve listed these in order from the ones I find most likely to least likely, if you’re curious. Tell me which headcanon you prefer, I wanna see.

True true true, all of this is *chefs kiss*

But do we actually think Odin’s telling the whole truth when he says the jotuns were trying to plunge the world into eternal cold and darkness? I mean nothing about that opening scene where they kill humans is ok, but there’s a lot of other explanations for it besides “they wanted to take over the world and murder people for funsies”.

-We know Odin taking the casket sealed the fate of Jotunheim and condemned it to die a slow death, but what if they were already having some sort of environmental problems or something before that? Maybe they went to earth in an attempt to find more resources?

-Even prior to the war with Jotunheim, we know odin had already conquered most of the Nine Realms and was ruling them all as a supreme authoritarian, so maybe Laufey attempting to take earth (the most important territory because it’s at the center of the Nine) was his attempt to rebel against and challenge Odin’s occupation? Maybe it was the jotuns’ gambit for freedom from a megalomaniacal dictator?

-Maybe there was some kind of issue that happened between the the frost giants and that town in Norway specifically? They could’ve been seeking revenge or information or justice or something with that group of humans in specific instead of trying to take over the whole planet.

-Maybe there was something on earth that they wanted (an infinity stone, anyone?) so they could use it to challenge odin’s rule or help strengthen their home planet or whatever.

-They were clearly capable of their own inter-realm travel (I mean how else would they have gotten to earth in that intro) so maybe they’d been to earth before and had formed loyalties with certain groups of people. Then maybe those groups got into some kind of human war and asked the jotuns for assistance taking out their enemies (the Norwegians), so the frost giants showed up to help their allies.

-Hell, maybe the jotuns were desperately trying to form an alliance with some other realm or planet or something and said realm or planet was the one that had beef with earth and they made the pending alliance conditional on attacking it.

My point is, there’s like a hundred different possibilities for what exactly Laufey was doing on earth in that scene and what his motivations were for it, and I think “frost giants are evil and like to kill stuff bc Odin said so” is one of the least likely ones.

I saw meta where someone said that Jotuns are monsters and Odin did good thing saving Loki

Does people not realise that Loki is Jotun so your calling Loki a monster

Odin force baby Loki into false skin aka asgard skin without his consent

We don't know shit about jotuns culture or how Jotuns behave

It like saying that cats and birds are the same

It also racist as hell towards Jotuns, guess who else is racist Odin and all of Asgard, Loki literally hate his own race

Odin didn't save Loki because he care, he took him as political pawn and war prize, Loki literally said it in the first Thor movie.

Asgard is racist toward Jotuns and Jotunheim so obviously asgard would paint jotuns as monsters, at this point I'm just tired with Odin apologists and them justifying Odin actions

Remember people history is written by winners and not the losers

Odin literally locked away his daughter and hid that fact, he whitewashed asgard history with anything mentioning Hela, people died because of Odin actions

Odin hid the fact that Loki was Jotun

Odin also told Loki that his birth right was to die

Mcu fans have so many metas pointing out Odin actions but Odin apologists is never going to listen to valid criticism nor change their mind

[lokiinmediasideblog]

This is just a dumb shitpost. I am by no means doing Laufey/Jotunheim apologism. Don't take this seriously. But currently rewatching Thor (2011) to see if something from the script is in the movie. You know the part where the Frost giants are freezing Earth at the beginning? I was like, that would be kinda useful with all the global warming. Couldn't a treaty be made to keep those icy bitches in the Artic or something? Save the penguins and polar bears and such? It's not like there's people in there xD

They can make MORE ICE!

Thoughts on Loki's bio mother?

Omg. This is a good question.

So, a lot of people headcanon that Loki’s biological mother is non Jötun, (and that Loki is a bastard child) which is why he’s a runt, but I really don’t believe that at all. I believe that Loki is fully Jötun and just turned out to have a deformity which made him much smaller than the average Jötun. Not because he’s actually half Asgardian or half anything else. Though, the headcanon is pretty interesting.

Yeah… I believe his mother was another Jötun.

But I have realized that we only see male Jötnar in the MCU. WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?! Maybe they’re sort of intersex or they can change sexes? Or all the female ones are in hiding for some reason. I’m thinking all the female Jötnar were in hiding and were not allowed to be guards or soldiers, which is why we don’t see them.

I know there’s a lot more clarity about this in the Myths and in the comics, but clearly… the MCU doesn’t follow that. So… UNSERIOUS HEADCANON TIME!

I headcanon that she was another Jötun, of a lower status than Laufey. She was of course very gorgeous (Loki has to get it from someone…), and she was charmed by Laufey one way or another. They wed, and she becomes pregnant. They needed an heir soon because tensions were rising between the realms, and Laufey started doing some crazy shit (like in the opening scene of Thor 1 in Norway).

War continues to break out… it’s definitely an interesting time to be pregnant. The heir will be born soon, and he will be great! They hold onto that hope. But all continues failing for them.

… Okay so the baby is born, and he’s actually tiny af. They have been cursed. That’s a sign of a curse for the Jötnar, anyway. Hmm… how do they cover this up? If this got out to everyone, it would be… very disheartening. They still have a war to win, and this would discourage everyone. A cursed child born during the war that they were losing. This was bad.

Everyone was told that she died in childbirth, and so did the child. What a bummer…

But In reality, she was killed because she was “responsible” for the curse, and the child, who actually survived childbirth, was left out to die. Laufey and everyone else who knew (midwives, probably) needed to get rid of the evidence.

Laufey never remarried, and never tried to create another heir. Fearing another curse but also feeling down because of Jötunheim’s defeat in the war. His nephew or someone else will be the heir, probably..

But when Loki came down to Jötunheim… he recognized that he was his son.

“Your father is a murderer and a thief! He stole what was ours, and left our world in ruins. We have the right to reclaim the Casket”

The thief part was about more than just the Casket.

But, he could not acknowledge that Loki was his son in front of anyone else, because he “died” in childbirth 1000+ years ago. He couldn’t reveal that he was responsible for the cursed runt.

So, we’re left with the idea that Laufey had no idea that Loki was his son. But, deep down inside, he knew. He just couldn’t do anything about it. But he was okay with that, because he could get revenge on Odin now. The child was good for something..

… Oh no, Laufey is assassinated by his own son.

… Oh no, his own son attempts genocide against Jötunheim.

Yeah maybe Jötunheim has been cursed. This is Asgard’s doing!

“Am I cursed?” Perhaps, just not in the way you think you were.

Okay this is just an unserious/lighthearted headcanon I came up with idk maybe it can make a little sense

Thanks for the question this was really fun to think about and maybe I’ll make a more serious post about this if anyone finds it interesting LOL

[silverpens-jotun-blog]

i have a lot of thoughts about this behind-the-scenes video ( https://www.tumblr.com/silverpens-jotun-blog/758064211737886720 ), but here’s one thing that really stood out:

this was a super exciting line for me. i had assumed that jotun armor pieces were a greenish-looking gold, but jade makes much more sense and i like it much better. with how much gold you see in asgard, jotuns wearing jade instead distinguishes them from asgardians and gives them more of their own culture. (an effect that kinda falls apart when you and seemingly everyone else are under the impression that it’s gold, but oh well.)

and bonus, where i keep it in my room:

painted with acrylics. it took a ridiculously long time to finish, and it was ridiculously annoying trying to mix the right tone of blue each time i came back to it.

my signature is scribbled out digitally in all of these, of course, as i don’t want my real initials floating around tumblr.

[woodelf68]

Don't get me started on the part of fanon sayie laufey was laying near baby loki injured xD lol

I've never seen that, because we saw Laufey in the battle taking Odin's eye out. But I have read fics where Farbauti (as Loki's birth mother) was the one who had sought sanctuary in the temple, either because she had gone into labour (while fighting? which seems a really dumb thing to do while pregnant, and it can't have been too premature, since Loki was fully formed, just small -- not to mention the fact that he didn't look like a just newly born baby) or she had fled from some Jotnar sent by Laufey to take her baby away from her? And maybe she was already wounded from fighting them off, and she died nearby? I actually wouldn't mind that version of things, because it would mean that Loki was wanted and cared for by at least his birth mother for however long she had him before she died. Like obviously her body wouldn't have been right there, or Odin would probably have noticed her, but a Farbauti who had fled from the palace because her son wasn't safe there is a plausible suggestion. (Maybe she'd heard her pursuers outside, and had gone back out in the hopes that they'd follow her and not realise she'd left Loki behind? And then she was either caught and killed or she managed to evade capture and crept back to the temple later wanting to reclaim Loki but he was gone, and she assumed he'd been found and killed. Both work for me as possibilities more believable than Laufey leaving Loki in the temple to let him bond with the Casket and absorb its strength or some shit like that.)

Angsty Loki prompt inspired by being told I have a "witch face" most of my life:

What if Thor or the W4 joked about Loki looking too much like Laufey and the Frost Giants in terms of facial structure (they're both VERY POINTY) ? What if they made him play the monsters to be defeated because he "looked the most like them"? D:
