Thor Odinson + Loki’s lock of hair
Tag: thor’s lovelock
“Plait,” as somebody kindly pointed out, is what you would call a braid when worn by a warrior.
Not really… the only difference is that plait came into English through French while braid is the Germanic version that came down the normal way from Old English. So that just kind of means that “plait” sounds fancier, perhaps more aristocratic, while “braid” is the everyday term.
Thor’s braid/plait is still hot. Extra hot if that’s really Loki’s hair braided/plaited into it after Loki’s apparent death.
Thorki. Those two works were inspired by my friend, that will Loki try to find the hair Thor had lost, and there was one braid with black hair.
I would like to permanently declare war on whoever told me Thor wears a strand of Loki’s hair in a braid when he’s mourning because now I can’t stop thinking about it

Thor Odinson + Loki’s lock of hair
@bayleafpaprika You’ve done the fandom a great service this day. Look at him! So golden, and with Loki’s hair braided into his own! True love, that is ❤
Wait, so… he’s already got it early in TDW? I thought he took it after Loki “died” in TDW. This suggests that he braided Loki’s hair in while he was in prison. When/how did he get the hair? Is this his way of signifying that Loki is dead to him again, and mourning the brother he knew?
(Tbh I think it’s probably not Loki’s hair… but on the supposition that it is, I want to get the order of events sorted out. You know, for fic reasons.)
@philosopherking1887 My headcanon is it’s originally just mourning for Frigga (none of these TDW shots happen before that, right? I can’t 100% tell), and then gets rebraided with Loki’s hair, which he takes after Loki “dies”.
Naw, one of them is from the scene where Thor is standing on the balcony with Odin watching warriors train and Odin tries to set Thor up with Sif.
Damn.
@foundlingmother unfortunately, the TWD shot from the top right came before frigga’s death. my interpretation is that he wasn’t mourning loki’s death so much as he was mourning his loss of his brother. like yeah, loki was still alive, but he was also 1) “evil”, as far as the world’s concerned 2) imprisoned and 3) all but disowned by odin at that point. so thor wore a lock of his hair as a way to carry a piece of his brother with him at all times. (comment by @bayleafpaprika)
Makes sense. Little amusing to think of exactly when he must have cut a lock of Loki’s hair after Avengers, and what Loki thought of that.
Oh damn now I really want to fic it. If only I had the energy and brain functionality. And didn’t have WIPs I should be working on instead.
