Tag: loki as odin

othermongoose:

I read somewhere that the actors for Loki and Frigga decided they should share a tic…to pick at their hands when they were upset or nervous. I decided to look for it, and lo and behold, it’s true! I guess that’s something of a ‘tell’ if Loki is in disguise, heh heh. Fauxdin indeed.

I like to think most of Asgard knew Loki was pretending to be Odin but let it slide because they were so into his bomb ass plays

Thor: See, it was Loki all along!

Asgard: Oh. Oh yeah, gasp, wow. You’re right. Hmm 

Thor: …and?

Asgard: And what?

Thor: Maybe spring for a little righteous anger here? Something?

Loki: Yeah, this all seems rather lackluster guys

Asgard: Well, it kind of explains a few things

Thor: Like the stupid statue and the stupid play and th

Asgard: And how Asgard has been less keen to chuck its soldiers across the realms, and how our security has been put before the rest of Yggdrasil, and how the golden realm is completely repaired and beautified in the wake of the dark elves’ attack, and how we finally have plays in the theater that aren’t the same gods-damned Snorri and Bragi productions we’ve been watching since B.C.E., and how–

Thor: HE TRIED TO KILL JOTUNHEIM AND CONQUER MIDGARD AND LITERALLY VANISHED OUR REALM’S RULER

Asgard: Yeah, that was actually the only in-character Odin bit honestly

Thor and Loki: What was that last part

Asgard: The plays are fun

Peeps- I’m having ideas about Loki and Heimdall interactions during Loki’s “reign”. Like what happened with Heimdall? What if there was communication between the two? Strained, angry, troubled, angsty, reluctantly bordering on confidante…?

I may have to fic this out

they are trying to keep thinks civil for the good of Asgard. Their meetings are tense and awkward as fuck. Loki doesn’t spend all day fucking about, he actually has some chops. His political instincts are as good as his father’s. He can see through every move and every intention. He only needs to fucking focus and work every now and again, and he will make a good king. Heimdall has experience and vision and keeps him on a very short leash: you shift your ass and do your kingly duties, and no playing silly buggers, and your secret is safe with me and we’ll get along just fine. Their relationship develops into a begrudgingly annoying yet surprisingly effective alliance. Asgard is actually in a period of peace, rebirth, prosperity and splendor like it hasn’t known since Thor’s exile, Frigga’s death, and everything going to shit. Also, this new, rejuvenated Odin is actually more fun than he has been in ages. Asgard is pleased. Heimdall and Loki will always be uncomfortable allies (Loki is a trickster, Heimdall sees all), but somehow it works.

I’m pretty sure Loki-as-Odin exiled Heimdall very early on, purportedly as a punishment for his assistance with Thor’s plot during TDW. I doubt that there was any communication between them at all during Loki’s reign.

But what if there was some agreement at the very beginning? What if somehow *somehow* Loki convinced Heimdall to keep his secret and help him. They make some sort of deal. But Loki falters or bucks Heimdall’s counsel and finally Loki/Odin exiles him for “treason”.

It’s possible, and you could certainly fic it! I don’t think that’s the most obvious interpretation of what the movie shows, but it would be more interesting.
