I just saw someone on my dash say that Loki from the Loki series is the “real” Loki…

[theefloraknight]

Just a reminder that Thor never found out about what Thanos did to Loki.

Just a reminder that Steve never found out that he played the part in almost sending a person who was tortured and mind controlled/influenced to H.Y.D.R.A.

Just a reminder that Natasha never realized that she did have an opportunity to save someone who was a reflection of her younger self, to do what Clint did for her years ago, but she didn't do it.

Just a reminder that Clint spent his life hating a fellow victim and never found out who really hurt him.

Just a reminder that none of the avengers ever found out that in order for them to exist as a team, an evil organization doomed a person to the life full of suffering so he can bring them together.

Just a reminder that they never found out that this person, who canonically was stripped of his free will the moment he was born (he lived under TVA's rule), sacrificed the said free will short after getting it just so they can have it instead.

....Just a reminder that the avengers never found out. Loki canonically lived a life dedicated to their existence, and they never found out.

Ok, so like, let’s talk about Romani discrimination…No, for real. The amount of people who believe in stereotypes is absolutely disgusting…How can you claim that an entire group of people, or even a majority of the group, are thieves, vagrants, etc, and be like, “Oh, but there are still good ones-” No. that’s not how this fucking works. You cannot claim a majority of a group (what, have you personally met this 99.9% you speak of?) is completely awful, and that they are a problem, because of their race. That’s always discrimination and when, in history, when an entire group is stereotyped, has that stereotyping ever been true? That is the ideology of every fucking supremacist out there and it’s absolutely vile. It’s 2025, people. I need to every single fucking person who believes that someone is problematic, because of their race, to kindly fuck off and take a deep look into yourselves and realize that you are part of the problem. There is no “I’m not really racist, they just are that way.” No one, regardless of their race, is problematic because of their race. No one, ever, ever deserves to be told that all they are is a stereotype and that that stereotype is true for everyone.

(P.S. To anyone that has been discriminated against for their race, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc, just know that you’re amazing and you deserve more than this fucked up world has given you)

I think more of you who read historical romance/fiction content need to realize in the context of the time period, treason is punishable by death, and even if someone else kills them, treason is treason. Like I don’t understand why you’re so hung up on the fact people died when in reality, even if they had a high standing, they were going to be executed anyway. Even if there was a trial, who knows how long that would take? And if they were on house arrest, they probably have enough resources to escape before the trial takes place. So yeah, even if it’s considered “murder” they were gonna die either way and the circumstances are understandable the time period. He’ll, even today there are countries where the punishment for treason is death.

Circumstances of Ones Birth: Jötunn Loki Rant

Ya’ll, so I rewatched the first Thor movie, and lemme tell yall, I got some questions.

And those questions start with the infamous conversation that transpires between Odin’s Trophy Room. 

Lemme break it down for those of you that don’t remember: 

Odin: In the aftermath of the battle I went into the Temple, and I found a baby. Small, for a giant’s offspring. Abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey’s son.

Loki: Laufey’s son.Why? You were knee deep in Jötunn blood. Why would you take me.

Odin: You were an innocent child.

Loki: No. You took me for a purpose. What was it? TELL ME

Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace through you.

Now we all know from Thor Ragnarok that Odin has a talent for parenting rivaled only by the likes of Sasuke Uchiha, Gabriel Agreste, and Bruce fucking Wayne, so when I watched this scene go down, I was already guarded about whatever it was that Odin had to say, the way he regaled Loki with this story of how he was HIS SAVIOR, came out extremely manipulative and twisted. And then I noticed, there were 5 Mayor Holes in Odin’s story of how he came to find Loki that possibly signal that Odin is lying. 

So Imma just get right down to it. 

                    1. Why was Loki “abandoned” and not executed?

Odin tells Loki that when he found him, he was a “small for a giant’s offspring”. Its an insinuation that Loki was defective/deformed, therefore, that was the reason why he was abandoned, and left to die.

But if he was such a disgrace for being born small, why not strike the child before it draws proper breath? Why abandon it?

It could be cause abandonment is an even crueler fate. Tertullian wrote in his Apology that “..it is certainly more cruel way to kill…by exposure to cold, hunger and dogs..”

The AEsir often describe the Jötunn as being cruel and barbaric, so it seems accurate that Laufey would deem instant death too merciful for his disgraced son and chose to abandon him instead.

But then:

                       2. Why was Loki in a Temple?

A temple is filled with people; priests, apprentices, monks, nuns, healers, never mind all of the people that come in and out to make petitions, prayers and offerings.

Its not an uncommon occurring in history that in the practice of Infant Exposure babies were often abandoned in places with lots of traffic to allow them a chance of survival. In fact, in Ancient Rome there were designated places known as Columna Lactoria where women would go to nurse their children, and because of this, it was a place of sanctuary for abandoned babies where those seeking a child would go to “adopt”. If Laufey wanted his cursed son dead, why abandon him in a place with traffic, where someone else may find him, and take pity on the little one? Once again, this could be Laufey’s attempt to be as barbaric as possible. Because there is a darker reasoning why people went to the Columna Lactoria looking for children, it was to take them in and raise them as slaves. Maybe Laufey decided that son wasn’t only unworthy of death, but instead wanted him to live a life of humiliation and shame as someones slave, befitting only of a despicable creature as him.

But then that brings us to a Third Hole:

                 3. Why after the battle was won did Odin go to the Temple?

It wasn’t for the Casket. Laufey held the Casket throughout battle, used it as his weapon. Although Odin does state that the Asgardian army drove the Jötnar back to the “heart of their world” where they were defeated. Its a possibility that the Casket was put in the Temple to be protected. There is, after all, a scene of the Casket sitting on some sort of pedestal before an Asgardian soldier removes it..

Or could it simply be that Odin went to the Temple for other reasons? Perhaps to loot it from any other treasures they may hold, Hela once mentioned that all of their gold came from their conquers, and Laufey was depicted sporting several pieces of gold.

Or maybe Odin knew there was something else in the Temple?

Which points out one of the BIGGEST holes in Odin’s story:

               4. How did Odin know that Loki was a Laufeyson?

According to Odin he went into this random Temple after the battle was over, alone as is depicted in the movie, and saw this “abandoned baby” and he knew by OSMOSIS that the baby was Laufey’s

Let me tell you something; Royal Births were no small, private affair. The birth of a royal baby was a political affair that had deep implications for the entire nation. It was an event that could signal the rise or the fall of an empire. The royal baby belonged more to the people than to the parents. The birthing chambers could be filled with as many as 200 people to confirm the sex, and health of the baby and avoid foul play.

If Laufey, the snuffed enemy of Asgard, was expecting a child, you best bet your cute patootie that Odin was in on that shit. The birth of a healthy son could mean trouble for Asgard.

So that takes me to the MOST IMPORTANT HOLE in this story:

                           5. Why take Loki?

Say Odin did know about the incoming little icicle. But turns out that he is not wanted by Laufey but seen as an atrocious curse and was abandoned in a temple left to either die or be raised as a slave.

Why then, in the name of the Nine take a babe with no worth?

According to this tale Loki held no recognition nor love from his parents. How could he then be used to “unite the kingdoms, bring about an alliance, and bring about permanent peace” when Loki had whatsoever no claim to the throne. His claim was casted out when he was casted out in the temple. And whats more the defectiveness that caused his parents to abandon him, would have his people reject him.

To go through all of the trouble of bringing up this child next to his own, blood heir, and call him son repeatedly its because there HAD TO BE an use to him. And an abandoned baby has no use to Odin. The only reason why Odin would do all of these things was because he KNEW that Laufey had a son, and he KNEW that the baby was in the Temple and he KNEW that he was WANTED both by Laufey and the Jötnnar.

You know in times of tension and war children were often sent away. Elizabeth I was sent away when she was but a toddler to keep her away from the plague. The Hebrew Bible has several stories of children being raised or being hidden in Temples like Jehoash and Samuel. Many ancient civilizations practices that required children to be taken to places of worshippers to be rid of evil spirits or bless them since mortality was so high.

This then begs the question, was Loki a case of child exposure, or was he wanted and loved and put in a temple to be kept safe while his father went out to conquer Midgard?  

And it begs the bigger question, if in fact the Jötnnar even went to Midgard at all, or was Odin spurred into action by the birth of a baby boy that could bring enough hope to the Jötunn that one day they would be as great as Asgard

Speaking of making our MCU aliens more, well, I headcanon that Loki and Thor have more than one stomach.

[theefloraknight]

He had to at least be in like his twenties from Thor 2011 onward… I mean, they showed us young Thor and Loki(who appear to be the same age and not biologically 10 years apart), so if they wanted to Loki to be 17, they easily could’ve with an actual teenager. Also, I think I read somewhere that that specific line was improvised? Even if it wasn’t, explain how Thor and Loki would be 10 ears apart, because if that were the case, Thor should’ve remembered his mom not having another child the regular way…

About the "Loki being 17 thing..." I did the math. If Thor was 1500 chronologically, and 30 biologically, that means one Asgardian year is equivalent to 50 mortal years. But if you divide 1047÷50(1047 is how old loki would've been in 2012 using this method)...Loki would've been like 20 in 2012 and 21 when he died in infinity war. So, how exactly did they get this idea that loki was 17 in Avengers...?

(Btw, I've done these calculations at least like 5 times. With a calculator and on paper. I even showed my work. So how did they come to this conclusion?!)

Yeah, I… I don’t even remember honestly. The way they calculated it was dumb af from what I remember NOT GOING TO LIE.

Ok fuck it even if they did get that number, DO THEY REALLY THINK THAT IT’S ACCURATE? WHYYYYYYYY

I think it’s also important to note that without the torture by Thanos, plus the influence of the Mind Stone that Loki wouldn’t have a reason to get to the point of attacking Midgard. The whole reason he was there in the first place was to get the Tesseract. I mean, Loki at this point literally went straight from a psychotic break and attempted suicide to being tortured and his mind fucked with by the mind stone. Not to mention that because of the culture he was raised in, it was also normal to conquer people anyway. But again, he never would’ve been pushed to this point without being tortured, brainwashed by Thanos, and influenced by the mind stone. There’s also the fact that when Loki meets Thor in Avengers, he says he remembers Thor throwing him into the abyss, so it’s possible Lokis memories have also been tampered with.

I wish people were smarter about Loki

He was not mind controlled by the scepter… people who like him in the Avengers are not excusing anything that he went through… Loki in the series is not any more “Loki” than any other iteration of him… you’re not any better for preferring him in the series and bashing his writing in anything else… he’s not 17 years old… he didn’t automatically become “evil” when he encountered Thanos, it was a drive that was already in him it just manifested in different ways… he attempted genocide in Thor 1… his eyes are blue not green… Loki when he’s not “good” is still Loki whether you want to believe that or not… his ass would not go by “Friggason”… he would not listen to Taylor Swift… Mobius threw TVA Loki into time loops to be physically abused… both Mobius and Sylvie have their flaws… Loki has been a villain before and that’s okay… he was tortured by Thanos but that isn’t evidence to him being mind controlled by the scepter… he does hate himself but he also does have a genuine sense of confidence… he’s more complex than most think… two things can coexist… him being more reserved/less “expressive” in his movements isn’t necessarily just because he didn’t feel okay with expressing himself, some people are just chill and that’s not a good way to read people, you never know what others are going through… Loki VS Loki in the series are two different people…

I need to blast this on every other social media platform
