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

[randomtheidiot]

The funny part about the MCU making Laufey a man and also a murderous ice monster is that instead of just adapting Fárbauti into the series and keeping him relatively as-is, they gave their big bad villain a signifigantly lamer sounding name that roughly translates to "Miss Leafy".

a painting i finished a few weeks ago!

with different lighting:

the screenshot i painted from:

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.

[hermesserpent-stuff]

i was recalling a convo with kzele where peter had long hair, so here is a bit of what i think it could look like. I also dumbed a few other doodles here. Love my boi quentin.

[godofthequeers]

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

The concept art with Loki's biological mom has inadvertently made me get "River, oh river, flow gently for me" stuck in my head. LMAO. The vibes... xD

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

I Am Insufferable, so bear with me.

I was looking at Jotun designs in the Thor movies (Laufey on screen, DW concept art, Thor 1 concept art, Loki series concept art—) and realized something

In their appearances and concept art, only Loki and his mom have the Crown of Ymir design

That curved W shape on their forehead? Meanwhile his dad, Laufey (King of the Frost Giants himself), doesn’t have that mark. They connect to the facial marks on his brow and such but not together to form the crown, his go down and don’t meet

Which, to me and going off the understanding that mark is something specific to the royal family (It is called the Crown of Ymir) then Laufey isn’t the real king, he’s king consort. Farbauti (as I’ve seen the fandom calling the mom) is the queen.

Idk, thing I noticed and am throwing out here for anyone else to see and interpret with the MCU canon

[musclesandhammering]

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.

Sleeping Beauty soulmates - yes it's another Loki fic, shush

Odin has fallen into the Odinsleep, and Loki is regent king. He has negotiated a peace with Laufeyson, which includes a marriage to the youngest child of Farbauti, Laufey's spouse. We will be flashing back, don't worry.

“Son, are you sure about this?” Frigga asked, standing beside Loki’s throne. She was concerned about the idea of Frost Giants coming to Asgard. She remembered the days when they’d moved freely through the realms, but Asgard has been poisoned against the entire race by Odin’s hatred.

“I am the king, Mother, though only the regent. It is only right that they bring my betrothed here, rather than me going there.” Loki pointed out. “But that is why this was announced in advance and we made sure there were extra guards on duty.”

Before Frigga could continue the discussion, the announcement was made. “Presenting Queen Farbauti, Prince Byleistr, and Princess Conflagration.”

Loki straightened up, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. It had been too long since he had seen his betrothed.

Frigga frowned. “Frost Giants do not usually use gendered terms outside of king and queen.”

“From the peace talks, I did learn that there are those among their race who do prefer them, though they are rare.” Loki assured before standing to welcome the Frost Giants. “Queen Farbauti, you look as elegant as the last time we spoke.” He greeted as the giants walked into the throne room.

There were murmurs and mutters of concern, of fear, and of curiosity. Frigga’s eyes drifted along the assembled Asgardians, looking for signs of true unrest. Farbauti was tall and lithe compared to how Frost Giants were typically portrayed. They had a cloak on, covering much of their body. The hood was back, revealing their face and long dark hair. The only other clothing they wore was a kilt-like garment. They were followed by another giant, whose hood was still up. Byleistr was built more like his father, huge and broad. The final member of the royal family who had come to Asgard was short, even shorter than Loki. She wore a cloak that hid her entire body, though she was petite.

“King Loki, thank you for welcoming us into your kingdom.” Farbauti dipped their head in an acknowledgement. Though they were technically equal, it was considered polite to greet the ruler of the kingdom they were visiting as a better. “May I present two of my children? Prince Byleistr, heir to the throne. And this is my daughter, Princess Conflagration.”

Byleistr was dressed in the same manner as his parent, but the mutters exploded as the princess was presented and she pushed her hood back. The sight of a Midgardian who’d been adorned like a Frost Giant made them all turn to talk to their neighbor. The princess had auburn hair that curled down her back, with the front pulled out of her face and secured with a clip that looked like ice. Her red eyes flicked around the room, and her ice blue lips held the faintest hint of a smile. Though most of her skin was pale, she had deep blue markings like the other Frost Giants, a perfect match to Farbauti’s except on her hands. It almost looked like she was wearing fingerless gloves, as opposed to Farbauti’s delicate bands of blue. She wore a modest goddess style gown of fine teal silk and black leather boots.

“Well met Farbauti, Byleistr, and Conflagration.” Loki intoned, knowing that it was preferred not to continue using titles after the initial introduction. His eyes met Conflagration’s for just a moment, and both their expressions softened fractionally.

“Conflagration is to be your wife, King Loki.” Farbauti continued, pressing a massive hand to their daughter’s back and pushing her forward.

“Conflagration. An interesting name for a Frost Giant.” Loki said, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Even one as unusual as yourself.”

“I was not born a Frost Giant, your majesty.” Her voice echoed through the throne room. “I was born a human, and was adopted into my new family. That is why I was selected to be your wife. I will not require accommodations to survive long term in your realm.” Her red eyes sparkled with just as much mischief as his. “And Conflagration started as a nickname when I was still purely mortal, and has become my true name.”

Frigga looked between them, then her lips twitched. Oh, she should have known that her youngest had been plotting something. Soulmates, and he’d used the fact to bring peace to both realms.

“And how did a Midgardian come to be adopted by Frost Giants?”

“We do not know how it happened, but I was cursed to sleep and ended up on Jotunheim. I was too weak to survive such a cold realm, and there was no way to get me back to Midgard. Farbauti adopted me and nursed me back to health. I am proud to me a part of their family.” She replied evenly.

“Frost Giants not only saved your life, but ensured you would be healthy. Is that correct? How do they treat someone so different from themselves?” The king pressed. Farbauti shifted. They may have understood why the questions were being asked, had even been a part of the discussion on what to ask, but they still didn’t like it.

“I hold an unusual position, your majesty. I am smaller than even most runts, and so am treated like a child in physical matters and education. I am late to learning things that many in their culture take for granted, after all. Yet, I am also treated as a royal and an adult. I am the current resident expert on modern Midgard, though I had not been able to visit my birth realm until the peace treaty.”

“Cultural differences? We have been told that Frost Giants are mindless beasts who have none.”

The princess laughed. “We have a very rich cultural background, your majesty. Much like Asgardians, we have what might be termed a warrior culture. Our two realms just have very different ideas of what is honorable and just. Your realm considers fighting bare handed to be dishonorable, while mine considers weapons dishonorable. Your realm has nobility who speaks for all, while anyone can approach the ruler of Jotunheim and request an audience. Your culture is based in tradition while ours is based in rituals.” She explained, then held out an arm. “My markings are not painted on. They are now a part of me, due to the adoption ritual. As you can see, I match my Jotun parent. Our rituals have power, which is why we still hold them close. Our realm can be unforgiving, but our rituals allow us to survive.”

Loki smiled. “Thank you for your explanation, Conflagration.” He turned to meet Farbauti’s eyes. “Is there anything Asgard can do to accommodate you further, Farbauti?”

“If a guide could be provided, my son has never been off Jotunheim. I believe he would enjoy a tour.”

Loki glanced up at his mother, who stepped forward with a nod. “If you would permit me, Farbauti, I would be honored to show anyone in your retinue our realm.”

“That would be appreciated, Queen Mother.” Farbauti nodded. They gestured, and the retinue split. Byleistr and several guards stepped aside, while Farbauti and Conflagration, along with several guards, remained.

The princess and prince briefly spoke before Byleistr gestured for Frigga to lead the way. “Queen Mother, we are ready to follow your lead. If we do or say anything that is offensive, we request that you inform us so that we may learn what is acceptable in our sister realm.”

“Of course, Byleistr. And please call me Frigga. I seem to recall that your realm prefers not to stand on formalities.” The former queen led the halved retinue from the throne room.

Loki gestured for several servants to step forward. “Farbauti, we have prepared rooms for your people to rest. I am aware that you cannot remain here more than a day, but Asgard prides itself on being welcoming to our guests. My guards will show you the way, so you may rest after such a strenuous trip. I will see you this eve for the celebration feast.”

Farbauti nodded, and the giants followed the servants from the room. Loki sat back and looked over his people. Once the giants were out of sight and hearing distance, he stood and spoke. “This is the first time in many thousands of years that our realms are aligned in goals and desires. Anyone who holds issue with Jotunheim may come to present them tomorrow when the council opens the floor to all. If anyone intentionally attempts to cause trouble with our guests, they will be tried for treason. I do understand that accidents may happen, but the Crown will not stand for anything that happens intentionally.” His eyes flashed as he gazed over the crowd.

After that, he dismissed those present and stalked from the room. Using magic, he hid himself and allowed an illusion to continue to his office while he went to the area that had been prepared for the giants’ use.

What are the chances that Bucky is a Lauver (Laufey fan). Like I would imagine Sam take Bucky to a Laufey Symphony concert in New York or smth

[littlebean2905]

Fuck Odin

from now on Loki’s been raised by lesbian mommies

[hermesserpent-stuff]

Thanks for playing! and here you go!

Laufey is unsure how to approuch someone he's been searching over a millennia for. they dont talk about this in the parenting guidebooks!

[lukreziaaa]

“It’s said you can still hear and see what transpires around you. I hope it’s true, so that you may know your death came at the hand of Laufey.”

“And your death came by the son of Odin.”

[lokiinmediasideblog]

I love how in the MCU, the usual interpretation is that Loki's origins well super well-guarded. But in my oneshot I went like, "Akshually, everyone suspects something is fishy about Loki because he looks so much like Laufey and they've made up their own unsavory theories about it." BAM! Ridiculously heavy-handed foreshadowing! xD
