Last weekend I re-watched the first Captain America movie (eminently re-watchable) and the first Thor movie (still better than Joss Whedon and Taika Waititi’s bumbling versions of the character, iMho), and the ending of the Thor movie stood out like a giant billboard for me: Unlike Anakin Skywalker or the Israeli government, who are both okay with ethnic cleansing, by the end of his first movie Thor Odinson actually learned that genocide is wrong.

Loki S2E3 Spoilers ❗️❗️❗️
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
You know, I was thinking about that scene in front of the statues of Baldur, Odin and Thor.
Or more so, about Loki’s reaction to it.
Mobius reminds Loki that he’s one of the Norse Gods. An Asgardian God.
Tumblr media
And then we get this somber moment, with the beautiful and sad music (which appears also in season 1 and plays when Loki is reminded of his home).
Tumblr media
And in my interpretation, in that moment Loki struggles with his identity once again. I think that he looks out at the statues and thinks about the fact that. He’s not Asgardian. He’s a Frost Giant from Jotunnheim.
Of course he often reminds others, that he’s Asgardian, and Asgard is his home. But I don’t think that Loki fully believes this.
Tumblr media
But what he does believe. Is that if he says something a hundred times, it will become true and he’ll believe it.
And so he desperately hopes that it’s true, because he wants to believe it.
Of course he cuts off this line of thinking by making a quick jab at Thor. Acting as all is well and normal.
Tumblr media
But the thought lingers, that he wasn’t Asgardian enough to be depicted on that pillar beside his father and brother.
Idk just some post episode thoughts 🤷‍♀️ I enjoyed this episode and I’m happy that the show stays entertaining. In the past with some other marvel shows, by episode 3 or 4, I remember that the plot got dull and the pace slowed. But it seems that Loki won’t have that problem, for now. I am really glad that it’s going so well ❤️

Laufey Loki

As you can see, even in his frost giant form, Loki's facial features are very similar to an Asgardian's facial features and has hair, so my theory that Loki's biological mother is an Asgardian woman is plausible.
As I said, in Norse mythology Loki is the son of an Aesir (Asgardian) and a Jotun, so it should make sense that this was also the case in the MCU.

Ymir, the Frost Giant
Ymir is the first Frost Giant or Jotunn in existence, he was slain by Odin and his brothers and his body was used to make the earth and the Heavens. As long as Niflheim exists, Ymir will always exist. His name means "Screamer" in Old Norse, his epithet Augelmir means "Earth-Screamer".

Jotunheim worldbuilding headcanons
Jotunheim, the land of giants, is home to various kinds of giants, each with its unique abilities and characteristics. The Frost Giants, dwell in the Arctic regions of Jotunheim and possess mastery over the ice and snow. The Forest Giants, on the other hand, have a profound connection with nature and possess the ability to communicate with plants and animals. The Land Giants, known for their gentle nature, have an inherent sense of direction and possess vast knowledge of their surroundings. They reside in the expansive plains of Jotunheim. The Mountain Giants, the physically strongest of the Jotun kind, make their homes in the mountains, inhabit the mountains, and often share borders with the Forest and Land Giants. Lastly, the Storm Giants, the most nomadic of the giants, can control the winds and change their size. As they grow larger, their bodies become more ethereal. While some Storm giants have settled in the mountains, most of them wander the lands of Jotunheim.
Jotunheim largely is a wintery world but is nevertheless home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The inhabitants of Jotunheim, the giants, are skilled in working with a variety of fabrics and materials. They make abundant use of leather and fur, but they also possess knowledge of silk, cotton, and flax fabrics. Frost giants primarily use and produce furs and thick silks, while forest giants specialize in creating different types of linen. Land giants are known for producing leather and cotton, while mountain giants are skilled in finding and working with different types of metals and gems. Finally, storm giants are renowned for their ability to create vibrant dyes and pigments.
Jotun fabric is renowned for its exquisitely intricate embroidery. Each of their fabrics is a reflection of the natural world that surrounds them, drawing inspiration from every journey they undertake. Their designs are inspired by the delicate shapes of snowflakes and ice, the intricate patterns of leaves, flowers, and vines, and the stunning formations of rocks and crystals. Jotun's attention to detail and dedication to creating unique and captivating designs make their fabrics a true work of art.
Frost and Storm giant females are known for adorning their hair with shiny embellishments, such as gold or other sparkling accessories. On the other hand, forest giant women and girls are often seen using flowers as hair decorations. Land Giants tend to keep their hair up in fancy braids.
Among the diverse cultures inhabiting the planet Jotunheim, only the Land and Forest giants have a significant history of plant cultivation. While the Land giants have been successful in establishing large-scale farms, the Mountain giants, who share some of their territories with the Land giants, have limited agricultural practices. Forest giants have some history with farming however their agriculture has been mostly used to develop herbal and medicinal results. In contrast, the Frost Giants have a minimalistic approach to agriculture, and their cultivation is mainly limited to root vegetables. They rely more on foraging for their sustenance, though trading is also prevalent. As for the Storm Giants, who are primarily nomadic, they do not engage in agriculture, but they possess excellent skills in foraging. Their expertise in finding and collecting plants has enabled other communities to further develop their agricultural practices.

Asgard has kunling aka Nordic herding calls
Vanaheim has throat singing
Nidavellir got yodeling
Alfheim got fairy dust signing
Jotunheim has frost signing and calling ( similarly with mountain calling, rlly )
Svartalfheim has SHADOW SIGNING AND COMMUNICATIONS
All these methods are amongst popular methods to communicate with their peoples in those 6 realms in far away
Lol imagine
Thor, Hogun, Sigyn and Hildegund one time have to communicate from far away
Thor bellowing out a kunling
Then Hogun starts throat singing
Hildegund ( Volstagg's wife whom I HC is from Nidavellir and a mountain/shield dwarf ) starts yodeling
And then Sigyn starts doing a Light Elven sign language like dance in the air and then signs several signs via her pink fairy dust
Thor's Avenger mates then watched this be and be like : ' ?!?!?!?!🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯👏👏👏🤯🤯 '

I'm watching Thor right now with my siblings and my older one described the frost Giants as big blue people.
So with that description and information in mind: Aren't the frost Giants just Mega Smurfs with fancy powers?

do you think loki’s favorite color is green because their magic is green, or do you think their magic is green because their favorite color is green?
follow up question: do you think the magic of every sorcerer asgardian and/or jotun is their favorite color?

Jotun/Loki headcanons
Biology
he can’t sweat so his body regulates temperature by making more fluids. aka loki drools/spits alot
FANGS + nails grow faster and sharper than asgardians
his veins are purpley blue instead of the normal blue
they are all androgynous, they are a shapeshifting race therefore they can manipulate their own biology if they want. this counts for wantingto have children and can they can also choose which partner in the relationship carries the child.
They have an organ that regulates their temperature, it’s adapted to cold but it also allows them to survive warm temperatures. (Loki’s is more flexible considering he’s half aesir)
their magic allows them to feel natire and animals. they can feel life flowing through it = they can feel and understand what the life wants, needs or feels
Beliefs/Culture
they’re not as monsterous as they seem. (why would they leave a baby IN A TEMPLE??? A TEMPLE which means “a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence” why would they leave loki AND the casket there? if they hadnt cared about loki he wouldve been left out in the frozen tundras to die AKA. Jotuns leave their children in the temple during battle, hoping Ymir will protect their children while they’re away
Jotuns believe everyone has a purpose or gift (fighters, healers, workers, farmers, blacksmiths etc etc) and their marks (coming from their magic) depicts what their gift is.
They have clans. Wolf and Snake, you inherit your clan from your mother and the clans are important. If you are a wolf you can not marry another wolf and vice versa. If a wolf passes away, other wolves cannot help at their funeral, the snakes have to do it and vice versa (same with weddings)
They have a tribal government with a little council with Elders, Youth, Snake, Wolf and War councillors, the chief, There are healers on the council as well. The council makes decisions together and decides the fate of their people. They also decide sentences for people who break their laws.
They all switch jobs, no one is stuck doing one thing, everyone helps.
They do not have a hierarchy, everyone is equal. They have meetings several times a year to hear the peoples input, complaints and worries. The king is equal with his people, he makes important decisions and is important but not more important than anyone else.
They do not like fighting unless it’s necessary = Loki’s dislike of fighting.
They believe everything has life, everything can feel (because of their magic) so they treat everything down from a piece of grass like it’s gold.
MCU jotuns are native u can not change my mind
Jotunheim
Jotunheim has springs. Plants grow and the waters unfreeze, they go trapping, the springs are short so they spend the entire time gardening, fishing and trapping to save for the winters.
There are Glaciers and forests, rivers and creeks. It’s like any other planet except it’s cold and theres alot of snow.
THEY HAVE MAMMOTHS and foxes and rabbits. There are wolves and ice hounds that the Jotuns have learned to tame.
