How do you think Hela woulda been with Thor and Loki if Odin hadn’t kicked her out? Like what kinda sibling relationship?

you know ?

On Hela as a Sister

warnings: childhood trauma, mentions of abuse, mentions of odins gaslighting

these are my favorite hela aus because everything else is inherently angsty and sometimes i just want her happy

there is nothing quiet about helas dedication or her love

she is...so protective. esp since the age gap is so large shes double their age

being a big sister that has had time to reflect on childhood, and then watching more children be raised in the same environment, the instinct is very much to provide those children with support that you needed then

i think there is a special kinship to be recognized between her and loki. literally two seconds ago i read a fic that suggested hela was an outcast as a child

while i don’t think sexuality/queerness is as big of a thing^tm on asgard and that they’re pretty fluid, there’s something to be said about the parallels between Loki’s genderfluidity + sexuality and helas repressed exploration

hela is literally the rough draft and Odin is not far from coming of age himself when he has her, so I imagine she received the worst of his intensity, and as suggested by the same fic I just mentioned, she was made to put a lot of inner exploration on the back burner in favor of becoming daddy’s little weapon

all this is to say that hela is gay and I think that her vulnerability is parallel to Loki’s in a way I can’t describe and that they both need a very similar kind of nurturing

I think Hela would have a bond with Loki that involved making him work through some of his inner turmoil rather than repress it, and I think she would help him channel his magic as a thing that can be nice and not only destructive

now for thor, i won’t ignore that he definitely has experiences all sorts of different attraction to all genders. he channels his emotions much differently though + otherness is really not as central to his main struggles

at his most mature and even at his worst, there is a very direct line between the cause of his stress and the expression of that stress

aka, he’s much less prone to repression, and actually, on the complete other end of the spectrum. I think Thor may have trouble at times identifying where he’s having a problem

it sounds backwards. he talks through things, he identifies problems and works through them. but sometimes problem solvers let problems blow by after resolution without assessing how it’s damaged their armor

think of infinity war. an obviously distressed Thor sees a direct solution to the loss he’s faced. he simply needs to kill thanos and everything will be better right?

no

hela and thor have similarly explosive emotions, but hela is more loki in the plotting and handling of them

now hela isnt all knowing and as much as I would like her as a big sister to help them through everything, she doesn’t understand all of both of them

but hela is very good at identifying what makes her angry

and she’s exceptional at seeing how people associated with her have been wronged

her core unit of people is a source of pride and extreme dedication and she is very attuned/sensitive to how they are feeling

she has an awareness of the temperaments of people around her in general, but where it may manifest generally as her playing the long game of life, with family it’s different

she’s aware when they’re hurt, when they’re confused or angry, and in her best way i think she would try to help them confront that

speculation of their dynamic is a little stranger for Thor because Loki was..never intended for the throne. it’s simpler and there’s not much destiny conflict

perhaps hela would be queen and Thor could be free, an adventurer

Had they been raised in a way that is healthy, and to be able to identify personal goals separate from the crown, perhaps Thor would have realized he didn’t want to be king much sooner

I see Thor a blond ball of fire, running to the chambers of his big sister to gush about what he’s learned one day

He tells her about how he held fire and brought dried herbs to fresh blooms and how he’s just so ready to conjure lighting

Pulling the final plait loose from her warrior braid, her hair falls loose and she smiles warmly, pulling him up to her bed to sit and begins one of her animated tales that always have a way of entrancing him

She speaks of kings and wielding magic and how rushing to too much too fast has been the end of even the greatest

She hands him a bouquet that’s wilted and asks him to turn it whole, marveling at his successes with animation that swells the pride of his young soul and tells him to keep at his studies

She says she’ll teach him lighting personally when the time comes

anyway

all of them are bound by intense longing, passion, a desire to be appreciated

ultimately, if hela had been raised with more love and attention, there would have been ripple effects of support, she could have been a better example for how to channel their intensities

hela is a big sister sworn to the duty of protection and proper encouragement, but will always have a lot to work through on her own

protectors need protection, and hopefully the day will come where she will sit back and watch how they’ve blossomed, before looking onto her own clearer image of destiny xx

Methinks at this point its stupid to think that hela isnt into knifeplay :////// plain clownery

Hela + Knifeplay

tw: violence, torture, sadism, hint of blood play, noncon concept

Knifeplay can potentially be very enjoyable for Hela... it really depends.

She’s not opposed to it, but it isn’t a kink that has any sort of stand-alone appeal to her

By that I mean, there’s nothing inherently sexy about blades, no risk of danger that excites her

With any kind of play, what gets her the most are your reactions

She likes power plays, she likes to see you squirm

So if the light edge of one of her blades over your pretty skin excites you, she suddenly finds herself very into it too

She’s a much softer lover than most would think to give her credit for, but still a sadist. A predator.

I think one element of knifeplay she would like is cutting off clothes

Oh you’re being a pouty brat and storming out of the room, maybe a slice through the air has the edge of your skirt pinned to the wall

One thing I know? She’s hands on. She isn’t as big about using magic in the bedroom as maybe Loki would be

So knives are very much a direct tactile control I think she could appreciate

She also has trained with them for thousands of years and there isn’t much taboo risk

AND YET

She finds her heart beating a little faster when she hears yours pumping hot and excited in the cage of your chest

She kisses your shoulder when you jump a little too hard at the trail of the blade over your skin, surprising the both of you

What’s new is you, and she loves to see the little ways you react to her

Of course though, all this assumes that she is your lover, that she cares for you

A darker Hela might hunt you down, laugh at the way her blade just barely grazes as it flies by—a warning shot of sorts

She might hold you close with a knife at your neck, at the softness of your tummy, where you have no other direction to go but further into her touch

She might bring you home as a spoil of conquest, toying with you until she’s bored, laughing at your pain, drinking from your flesh

What would Hela like and dislike about Midgard?

in a broader multi realm perspective, the problems and concerns of midgard, or even those of the beings that are partial to midgard (thor) are fairly... small in relation to everything

BUT

then Midgard became an unusually high source of activity and home for powerful instruments (such as the stones)

I would say the general density of earth based conflict has all the realms a little curious, but Hela?

ehhhhh

I can’t say she finds anything particularly fascinating about Midgard

She is prone to feelings of supremacy as an Asgardian.

She is dangerous as royalty because the lifestyle feeds into a strong point of pride she has that she alone can shoulder much of what is necessary to keep the proverbial world turning

She likes to know what’s going on everywhere, and admittedly she’s very curious about the creatures of other places, but the humans have given no particularly catching reason for her to be interested in them for long

...until she meets the one

then, perhaps, earth is alright. I mean they must not be too awful if they made someone as captivating as you?
