So going back at watching Wandavision with the context from AAA that Agatha is a queer woman makes what Wanda did at the end so FUCKING sadistic. Like....she trapped Agatha, this Witch, this being made of centuries of queer female rage, inside that super bland heteronormative 20th century sitcom neighbor role, squishing down all the things about her that make her wonderful into something comfortable and consumable and it just feels so much like what happens and has happened to queer women for all of time and I just CANNOT.

All the queer energy in Agatha All Along gives me life.

(also fuck this show for making me feral about a marvel thing in the year of our Lord 2025. Landjalfjskslfkdlanajdkdksj)

how can u hate ur dad for lying to you but not ur mom? they did the same thing, the only one who didn't was thor.

//I’m gonna answer this one ooc as a meta because I know that all Loki would do IC is throw a large solid object at you, and that’s hardly insightful, LMAO.

So, as I see it, the difference between Odin and Frigga isn’t the level of disclosure of the truth, it’s the manner in which Loki was otherwise treated by each parent, and the consistency level  in that treatment. It also has to do with the fact that Odin’s dishonesty wasn’t limited to Loki’s heritage, but his entire upbringing. 

Odin establishes a dichotomy between Loki and Thor from childhood, which cognitively normalizes for each boy the idea that they are and should be at odds, representing opposite personalities and value systems.  He intentionally makes himself emotionally unavailable and remote while they duke it out, and even encourages their competitiveness. He claims that Loki and Thor have equal opportunity to earn kinghood, but only one can be king.  In doing so he alienates two people who would otherwise be each other’s most reliable support system (considering that Thor indeed loves Loki unconditionally, no matter what Thor may claim otherwise in the heat of anger).  He also is lying from the get-go because equal efforts on Loki and Thor’s part to be “worthy” of Odin’s positive regard are met with unequal and conflicting responses.  Thor starts a war with Jotunheim, and is slapped on the wrist with a few days in exile as a human.  Loki starts a war on Earth and is reviled as a monster, disowned, and given a lifetime sentence in prison.  Furthermore, Odin claims that human lives are worthless and that “illness is a defining trait of their existence” so “let their healers, doctors, deal with them” yet in the same breath condemns Loki for showing the same flagrant disregard for the value of human lives.  Inconsistency, which is extremely upsetting to a rationally driven individual like Loki (yes, rationally: he may be emotionally volatile post-trauma, but he’s the son who was always considered sane and stable before, remember that).  

Meanwhile, Frigga DOES LOVE HER SONS EQUALLY. She offers Thor counsel when he’s stressed about his coronation in Thor, and when he’s angry at Loki in The Dark World.  She cherishes her eldest. She also cherishes her youngest.  She raises him training him in magic acknowledging fully that “Thor and his father cast long shadows.”  She does so to give Loki validation of his worth. It’s Frigga who bothers to search for Loki after he’s fallen into the spatio-temporal wormhole, and it’s Frigga who finds him, and sends Thor to earth to retrieve him home.  When Loki comes back from Earth, Frigga, while not condoning his actions, offers him her forgiveness and her concern.  Frigga visits Loki via illusions (since Odin forbids their seeing each other in person, a very spiteful and egregious part of Loki’s sentence), and orders books and good furniture sent to his cell to give him the most humane prison treatment possible.  Frigga’s one mistake is to ostensibly make her forgiveness conditional upon Loki accepting her as his mother AND Odin as his father, when he wishes only to claim her as his parent, but I don’t even think that Frigga intended for her question “Am I not your mother?” to come across in such a coercive manner. I think she was just really wounded by Loki’s seeming coldness.  The point being, Loki may be angry at Frigga for being complicit in Odin’s secrets, but he can forgive her because he knows her motives were loving, based on the precedent set by other characteristics of her parenting. Odin? Not so much. Odin discarded Loki as a son the moment he disobeyed him and made him too aware of his own hypocrisy as a ruler and parent.

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.
