"Before the World Wakes"

I love my soft, sleepy headcannon of them waking up before each other. Sigyn totally just staring at him like “wow. look at this idiot. my idiot.” And he’s all peaceful.. please enjoy the animation even if it's old <3

Sigyn had woken before the sun again. It wasn’t unusual she often did, though she never said why. She liked these moments. The ones no one else would ever see. She turned on her side, pulling the soft blankets tighter around herself as she gazed at Loki.

He was on his back, one arm lazily flung over his eyes, the other still half-curled toward her from where he must have pulled her close during the night. His long hair was a mess against the pillow, strands sticking in odd directions.

He always looked so... human like this. Not the silver-tongued god of mischief, not the cunning sorcerer who kept the gods on edge with every smirk. Just Loki. Her Loki.

His lips were slightly parted, brow relaxed, lashes casting shadows under his eyes. He murmured something incoherent in his sleep, and she instinctively reached out, brushing her fingers down the bridge of his nose, then across his cheekbone.

She smiled. “You always look like you’re dreaming of something wicked,” she whispered softly, knowing he couldn’t hear. Sometimes she did wonder what he dreamed of. Old glories? Lost battles? Their sons? Her? Perhaps all of it at once, tangled into something only his mind could make sense of.

He stirred slightly at her touch, brow twitching, and Sigyn froze. But he didn’t wake. Instead, his hand moved blindly, finding hers under the covers and curling his fingers around it. She watched his lips quirk just slightly, just for a second and her heart caught.

He was always like this. Even when the world called him a monster. Even when he was sharp-edged and fire-eyed and unkind to everyone but her. He still reached for her. Always.

“Foolish lover of mine,” she breathed with a small laugh, kissing his knuckles. “You think I watch you because I’m worried. But it’s because this is the only time the world makes sense of you..”

A long moment passed. Then, to her surprise, she heard a sleepy, gravel-soft voice. “You know I’m awake when you talk to me like that, right?”

She froze. His lips were curled into a lazy grin now, eyes still closed. “Loki—”

“I like when you think I’m asleep,” he murmured, pulling her hand toward his chest. “You’re so poetic when no one’s listening.”

She rolled her eyes, cheeks flushed. “You manipulative little—”

“Say it again,” he whispered, cracking one eye open to meet hers. “The part about me being yours.”

Sigyn sighed, smiling despite herself. “I never said that.”

“You were thinking it,” he said smugly, tugging her closer.

She gave in, laying her head on his chest. “Fine,” she whispered. “You’re mine.”

He let out a pleased hum, wrapping his arms around her. “Good. Now go back to sleep, woman. I was having a very nice dream about ruling everything with you at my side.”

Sigyn laughed, her hand resting over his heartbeat. “Of course you were.”

And as Sol finally crept over the horizon and Asgard began to stir, Sigyn let herself drift back to sleep, wrapped in the quiet truth that this Loki, the one only she ever got to see, was the only version that truly mattered.

Lokiii again

I was thinking of adding another character next to him, but I couldn't position him because he's so big. Maybe I'll paint him later.

Those "modern fairy tales where the princess saves herself" types of books not only misrepresent the gender roles in fairy tales (there are tons of stories where girls get to save the day), but they fundamentally misunderstand the entire genre.

Fairy tales aren't about saving yourself.

These aren't epic myths or heroic legends about the great warriors who slay every monster in their path because they're so awesome. Fairy tales are almost always about ordinary, even incompetent, people who get thrown into strange situations where they only succeed because of the help of others.

It's not a gendered thing. The boy who goes off to seek his fortune is usually the dim-witted third son whose older brothers are the strong, smart ones. The third son succeeds because he is kind to the magical helpers who then complete the tasks for him--and the exact same thing happens when a girl is the main character.

The characters in a fairy tale rarely succeed because they embrace their own strength and take their own path. Much more often, they are told step-by-step what to do, and they succeed because they obey--respecting the wisdom of others.

The core virtue of a fairy tale is not pride, but humility. It's not a story about the strong, but those who are weak, small, helpless. The people who can't do it all on their own, but can recognize the worth and wisdom of others.

Turning this story into a "girl power" (or even a "boy power") story warps it into something that is fundamentally the opposite of a fairy tale, and it has nothing to do with the gender of the main character.

still can’t believe usagi recognising sailor uranus as haruka purely by scent was an actual canon plot point in the anime…… truly one of her most insanely bisexual moments which is saying something given we’re talking about the bisexual-magical-girl-in-chief

Read the prelude to Thor 1 b*

Ok. But not only are the comic tie-ins questionably canon, but when it comes to the one for Thor 1 it makes me more inclined to be on Loki's side.

Sure on its own it seems nice, but it's recycled dialogue from the movie. If I take it as canon I sympathize more with Loki. No wonder he rejected Thor. He's been promised this before and Thor didn't change how he treated Loki. Why should Loki trust Thor when he's never learned in the past despite claiming to finally get it?

So over and over what the cycle is, Thor treats loki like garbage and is surprised every time he ends up hating it.

Wow, what a tool.

Seriously, Thor? that was your take away? Is it truly Loki who won't change? Loki made pretty clear his feeling and motives and what Thor thinks what Loki wants is not to see him anymore. You know what, maybe Thor and Loki really shouldn't be with each other.

For everyone who’s worried about Tom returning for the next Avengers film because they’re afraid that the Russo Brothers might kill Loki off again…

I think it’s important to remember that when the Russo Brothers killed Loki off the first time, they did so with every intention of setting up the series with his escape in Endgame. If Infinity Saga Loki had never died, we never would have gotten series Loki (who is Loki at his very best, at least in this tumblr girl’s humble opinion 💚).

I don’t want to have to watch Loki die again, either; no one does. But I think it’s important to remember that it didn’t happen needlessly the first time around. It was an important event in a much larger story. There was a plan unfolding.

Personally, I’m really excited to see what the Russos do with him this time around, because the question of “where does Loki’s character even go from here” is really intriguing. Not saying another tragic ending isn’t in the cards - there’s always that risk. But I do want to believe that Marvel is trying to bring this beautiful, decades-long redemption arc to satisfying close.

So, be prepared for the worst, yes. But also… don’t be afraid to hope for the best!
