#loki head canon

[aurorawest]

Thoughts on the popular fandom take that loki never killed anyone pre thor 1?

Well, it's not my head canon, but I guess it doesn't make me roll my eyes too hard. I find it incredibly unlikely that Loki had never killed anyone before for two reasons: 1) Asgard is a warrior culture and we have canon references to battles that Thor and the W4 have been in. Occam's Razor here—it's reasonable to believe Loki fought in those battles too, even if he isn't explicitly mentioned. And 2) Tom Hiddleston does not play the battle on Jotunheim like it's Loki's first time killing someone. Loki is presented in that scene as a highly competent fighter.

"But Aurora!" you might say. "That was just the adrenaline! Later, killing someone for the first time would hit him!" And while sure, that may be true (I have never killed anyone or been in combat so I can't offer any firsthand experience), the popular portrayal of a soldier's first time taking a life is that it's a very difficult moment. If Loki was just caught up in the battle, driven by adrenaline, and we were supposed to believe it was his first time killing anyone, wouldn't Branagh have given us a scene of Loki struggling with that? Because we get quite a few scenes of Loki struggling with things after returning from Jotunheim...killing Jotuns in combat isn't one of those things.

If we're going to go down the "Loki never killed anyone pre-Jotunheim battle" road, let's think about point 2 for a second. What does that say about Loki that he's never killed anyone before, and suddenly he does, and it doesn't appear to bother him in the slightest? When we see that so many other things bother Loki quite a bit? If you want to head canon Loki as a sensitive soul who hates killing, you're actually undermining it by insisting Loki hasn't ever killed before.

And as someone who does head canon Loki as a sensitive soul who hates killing, my head canon is that he's been in multiple battles and wars, that he despises it, but that he's learned to shove those feelings down.

You know, now that I've written this whole thing, I think I'm rolling my eyes at people head canoning that Loki's never killed pre-Thor 1, after all.

It is absolutely WILD to me that we got :

1. Mobius risking his life to save Loki in eps 1

2. Protective Loki™ in eps 2

3. SO MANY physical touch

4. Holding on to each other’s forearm

5. Brushing shoulders as they walk

6. Mobius’ hand around Loki’s waist

7. Words of affirmation as a love language (yes I’m talking about the “you’re the god of mischief” pie scene but there’s so much more)

8. Loki & Mobius going undercover and dressing up

9. A pie date AND a carnival date

10. Loki eating food just because their boyfriend Mobius likes it even though Loki clearly don’t

11. Mobius and Loki teaming up & causing mischief

12. Tandem bike scene

13. SO MANY bickering like an old married couple and everyone around them just going “what the hell”

14. “It’s got your shape to it“ “What do mean it’s got my shape, it’s in a suit it could be anybody” + sylvie being 100% done w/ them

15. Loki and Mobius always shifting closer to each other like magnets

16. Mobius encouraging Loki’s mischief

17. Whatever the fuck episode 5 was

18. Flustered Loki

19. Loki fixing up their appearance (fit check) before meeting their crush

20. Mobius Don dropping hints that he’s single and straight up flirting with the hot stranger

21. “Hello” “Hello” “Hi” “Hey”

22. “You saved my life when I first arrived. You saw something in me that I hadn’t seen in myself”

23. Mobius’s kids bike being red & green (Loki’s and Thor’s color)

24. The fond smiles

25. Mobius offering up his jet ski in a heartbeat

26. Loki time slipping to Mobius time and time again

27. “It’s about who” with Loki looking at mobius for 10 seconds before they said the line

28. Don’t even get me started about the “For you” scene

29. Loki hearing Mobius’s “let time pass” and finding comfort in it

30. The tragic lovers torn apart by fate trope for Lokius

Why just a little?

This interview is so precious to me.

#Eric martin is the best #come on guys the head writer ships them #lokius is canon #eric martin #lokius #loki #loki series

[worstloki]

they're brothers

#im constantly thinking about how Thor dresses down the second he's getting off Asgard #he's like oh? Odin and Frigga aren't going to be around? *rips off sleeves* #like #Thor's got strict parent complex #he gets 2 seconds of freedom and he's rolling around in the mud drinking with a man his father's age looking for head pats #please #don't even ASK me about fanon Loki idk what's up with that canon Loki has yet to show off his wrists the Loki show is fake and this is why

There has to have been at least one person on the creative team for Loki that was like “hey if we do all this, it will look queer. Like very gay.” And they definitely shot that person down with the “not everything has to be gay” and the “we’re just trying to show a strong healthy male friendship! :)”

Bro warned them defo.

They defo didn’t listen.

my toxic trait as an ace person is thinking every character i relate to is a virgin until proven otherwise

#it's bad to the point where its clear IN CANON that they're in fact not a virgin ill still go like 'hm you sure?' like bitch?? wtf is going #on inside that head of urs bbg #asexual #acespec #crowley #edward teach #ofmd #good omens #loki

hot take: i need spideypool and lokius to go on a double date.

#you guys don't understand #i need to see these four together like i need to see lokius with aziracrow #loki and deadpool bickering across the table #mobius and spider-man shaking their heads fondly #getting heart eyes when their partners are getting excited about something #loki realizing he has a lot of things in common with deadpool #that they've both been seen as villains #that they haven't been dealt the best hands in the game #i mean wade was a mercenary before he even became deadpool for a reason #and loki was ostracized by his father and other people around him his whole life #loki was ripped off his timeline and wade was ripped off his autonomy after the mutation #but in the end they got to meet people who believed in them when no one else did #mobius saw a good person in loki even though he knew him the best #meanwhile spider-man did the same for deadpool after getting over his preconceptions and knowing him #this is canon btw google spider-man/deadpool comics #they've found comfort in each other through the pain #and anyway. i just think it'd be really neat #more than that i need loki to be in deadpool 3 #deadpool #loki #spider-man #wade wilson #peter parker #loki laufeyson #mobius #mobius m. mobius #lokius #spideypool #deadpool 3

Bucky and Loki bonding over the things they were forced to endure and do during their times in HYDRA and Black Order. I will be rotating this idea in my head for a next few months.

#too bad we don't have much canon footage of these times but imagination knows no limits #Loki #Bucky Barnes #winterfrost #listen. in this AU i'm slowly building in my head they are just two traumatised dudes with broken hearts #slowly getting their lives together #like together together

Oh but Yggdrasil is beyond beautiful obviously

loki growing fond of peter and since his love language is stabbing peter ends up with a large collection of blades, some of which still have his blood on them

#loki transforming himself into a dog laying outside avengers tower #peter who must pet every single dog in existence otherwise he will Die #peter ends up with a knife in his thigh #peter tells the story to the avengers later and tony almost has an aneurism while thor laughs and recounts smth similar w him #mcu peter parker #mcu tony stark #mcu loki #mcu thor #marvel mcu #spiderman #the avengers #hc #headcanon #head canon #irondad #spiderson

Not me head cannoning a female Thor variant (from Slyvie's branched reality... even though they pruned it) that's exactly the same, boisterous, jacked, tall, golden retriever of a person and they'd be into Casey randomly as Thor is prone to like nerds (Jane, Bruce).

Abt this funny post summing up tje avengers movie. Do u have meta on what loki was doing in the first avengers relating to "not actually wanting to win the battle of new york" idk

I guess I don't really have meta, because I don't really subscribe to that theory? At least not in the sense that you often see people talk about it, where he throws the battle on purpose. I guess what I think is that deep down, some part of him knew Thanos had brainwashed him. Maybe, subconsciously, he didn't fight to his full ability?

I guess an analogy would be like, professional sports players. Their job is to win games, but maybe their heart isn't totally, 100% in every game for whatever reason. Maybe sometimes they even want to be traded, which, obviously, they need to play well for another team to want them, but maybe their lack of commitment to their current team means they don't play to their full potential.

One of my head canons about Loki is how desperately he hates the idea of choice being taken away from him. So I don't think he would have purposefully lost the Battle of NY, because I don't think he would have wanted to admit that Thanos was controlling him in any capacity. He'd rather be a monster than have control over his own mind or actions taken away from him. This is covered pretty heavily in my fic Here, Here and Here, and to some extent in Afterimage, as well.

obsessing over bisexual characters is actually something that can be so personal to me, a fellow bisexual

#lestat. quentin coldwater. jadzia dax. james flint. nina zenik. need I go on #and those are just the canon ones!!! #and just the ones I could think of off the top of my head!! #omg I forgot loki #and alex claremont-diaz and nick nelson #personal

GOOD NEWS I wrote 600 words of fic today, many of which were not even the same word! It's the fic that I had to rewatch (half of) Thor: Ragnarok for so that's me finally using my Extensive Academic Research there.

#breakthrough when i realised the answer to why would sylvie shag ragnarok!loki is 'because she's fucked in the head that's why' #(my precious murder-baby she needs/deserves hugs but is only getting disappointingly-tame pornography instead) #(there's a bit of implied knifeplay but it's only IMPLIED she doesn't even get to stab anyone i am so cruel and heartless) #oh i should use that tag now i can can't i #it's not knifeplay if nobody actually gets off on it right? #(that's my fave tag of the year because it's jokey but also accurate) #definitely going with the assumption that loki/jeff goldblum happened that's MCU canon isn't it? is it? idk let's just say it is. #fic related

Thor would figure TVA Loki's been mentally disturbed so bad by looking at the clothes alone. He'd see the rolled-up sleeves and just Know Loki needs help.

#the Loki show #not canon Thor maybe but the special better Thor in my head #would immediately go through a mental checklist like #''how to identify that loki is not okay'' #hair not slicked back ✔️ #single thin layer of clothing ✔️ #wrists and forearms showing ✔️ #shirt-length shirt in an informal setting ✔️ #no boots ✔️ #reverted to the common tongue ✔️ #he's using a sword instead of knives :( ✔️ #his outfit has no knife hiding spots :( ✔️ #where are his knives this is so sad :( ✔️

😔💔 I can not stop feeling devastated over Prince Lothric in DS3. You can describe his story as 'Here is a broken and traumatized abuse victim who only played a part in the apocalypse because he was lashing out against the system that treated him like a disposable object and refuses to die for it and it is your job as the 'Heroic Goodguy' to put this evil brat in his place with help from the 'very nice and helpful and concerned' High Priestess Emma who acts like she did not play a part in his lifetime torment and later rebellion. Go murder his elder brother Lorian the only person who truly cared about Lothric and will protect him at all costs. Then beat the ever living crap out of the vulnerable handicapped prince while the brother he is trying to revive is down (You know like a 'big strong manly hero who asserts themselves'). You kill him and take his head like fucking trophy to use it for the sacrificial ritual along with the heads of the others you murdered (YOU ARE HONORING THEM!).

#anti ds3 #Not fucking canon #This game was not made for me because apparently there was a good reason for a traumatized person like me to be treated like #a disposable object #I deserve to be put IN MY PLACE FOR LASHING OUT BECAUSE IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR YOU?! #I can not even look at Twin Princes content and art without seeing Lothric being made a punching bag #If it isn't about pitying him or representing his tragedy #It is about giving him the MCU Loki treatment #And I have to see art where the Ashen One is about to murder him in 'glorious heroic fashion' while he is down and vulnerable #or see his fucking head #I was already disturbed by what the game did and it inspired the fandom to exacerbate things even more #I hate being alone in my grief #I have to be reminded that was my comfort character's entire role a mere punching bag for the big strong hero #Everything hurts #I hate how fuckin normal this is and it makes me want to leave this world so badly
