MCU Ladies Week | Day 6: Headcanons and AUs | The Recent Adventures of Sif (and Lorelei)

You will not get off that easily. Why? It’s what you want. I can see it in your eyes.

Feige’s half-assed explanation for why Sif wasn’t in Ragnarok was that she had probably been banished, and that got me thinking. Why would Sif, who had been carrying out “Odin’s” orders faithfully, be banished from Asgard? Because she had obvious suspicions that Odin wasn’t Odin after all. So she’s set to be banished, Heimdall promises to help her keep in touch like the best brother he is, and she says to herself, “wait. I recently returned Lorelei to our dungeons, but it’s likely the whole reason Loki-Odin made me retrieve her was so he would be able to make use of her abilities when he saw the chance. I cannot allow that to happen!” What I’m getting at is that before being expelled from Asgard, Sif storms down to the royal dungeons and yanks Lorelei out, insisting she come with. Obviously, then, this leads to a begrudging alliance between them. They travel to Midgard because Sif has allies there (even if she’s not planning on calling on them until absolutely necessary because they’re not exactly going to be thrilled with Lorelei’s presence) and Sif sets out being a hero because, honestly, what else is she going to do? Wacky shenanigans ensue because Sif is loathe to let Lorelei out of her sight, but she’s also loathe to let Lorelei use her powers (lots of cold-weather destinations where nobody thinks it’s weird if Lorelei is wearing a giant scarf on her face, that sort of thing) and eventually Lorelei gets so bored that she decides to help Sif in her quest for usefulness. They probably also have a lot of sexual tension, because that’s just what they do.

MCU Femship Week | Day 2: Television | Lorelei and Raina

(this series also counts as sapphic aesthetics)

I don’t care that there is virtually no precedent for this. Lorelei, the goddess of misandry who wants nothing more than to be a queen, and Raina, the girl in the flower dress who wants nothing more than to be something divine, could have been a beautiful disaster. Consider: Lorelei’s power works on men and she enjoys using it, but she can’t possibly be completely satisfied by that. Consider: Raina’s propensity to swear herself to someone/thing greater, and what’s greater than a goddess? Conveniently, they share a disregard for the rules, for common morality; neither wants to be beholden to those they deem lesser or just too basic. Though I absolutely adore Raina’s canonical eleventh-hour redemption, it doesn’t take away from the fact that she is also an artist of deception, and Lorelei fits that same description; it’s strongly suggested that they both have specific reasons to be skeptical of men, though it’s never elaborated on; they’re both seductive and fabulous and unflinching. And even beyond the glorious storm of female domination they would inflict on the world, they would intrigue each other, get on with each other, and very definitely satisfy each other. While they, individually, are not often emotionally healthy, and what they would see the world become is almost certainly not emotionally healthy either, it’s surprisingly easy to imagine them as an emotionally healthy (and intensely aesthetically appealing) pair.

Think Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, but if Harley was subtler, more sophisticated, and actively loved other flowers than Ivy.
