The Nine Realms of Norse Mythology
So...let’s talk about Hela, shall we?
We all know that she’s basically a version of Baldur. Odin’s first born, perfect golden son. The blessed child of Odin and Frigg, but I’m thinking Frigga in the MCU never would’ve allowed Hela to grow up the way she did...
My theory is that Hela is the daughter of Odin and Freya, who was likely Odin’s first wife in the MCU who died at some point before Hela was locked away and he met Frigga, etc. I think that Freya loved her “perfect daughter” so much that he cursed her the same way she did Baldur in Norse Mythology. Making him immune to all things with only a single loophole left out, being mistletoe.
Odin likely would’ve made up the loophole just in case, because he was obviously paranoid about everything down to his own children’s intentions. Though, because of his love for her, he chose mistletoe because of its poisonous nature. If he suspected any sign of madness, or she committed an atrocity, he could’ve just poisoned her food or drink and let her die peacefully in her sleep. A merciful death to spare himself the act of having to kill her with his own hands, but when she inevitably grew bloodthirsty, he still couldn’t kill his own child (just as he couldn’t kill Loki) and locked her away in a prison all her own (much like how Loki was locked away in Mythology with Sigyn protecting him from the venom dripping serpent.)
My thoughts on what might’ve happened to her if she were poisoned could go one of two ways. She either would’ve died as any human would, or the spell keeping her invulnerable would’ve been broken and she quite possibly would’ve reverted to the “perfect golden child” that Freya was trying to protect. Meaning, blonde like Odin with creamy skin rather than pale and quite possibly less insane, because she would finally be able to feel again. Pain, anguish, all of it. She’d be normal just like every other Asgardian for the first time since she was a small child and it would be quite the humbling shock to go from this:
To this:
Because of one teeny, tiny little plant probably mentioned in Human legend in the MCU by Odin as a warning, should she ever return/escape upon his death or for some other reason.
Just thought this might be an interesting idea for any of you out there trying to figure out how to write a Hela x Reader fic without getting stuck.
😏 are you sure quill?

SUMMARY: Thor brings Loki back to Asgard to be judged and punished for his crimes on Midgard. After they land on the broken Bifrost, Thor has a little talk with Loki.
Author: Ailo
In a matter of seconds, the Avengers became only a shadow amidst the span of light-years, a last image ripped from their sight before they slammed into the broken Bifrost of Asgard.
Loki released the Tesseract with a grunt and tumbled to a halt in a jangle of handcuffs. A few yards away, Thor slowly rose to his feet and with a wearied stride crossed the bridge to where his brother lay motionless in the gloom. “I want to know why, my brother” he growled, lifting Loki by the lapels of his long coat. There was a wicked glint in Loki’s eyes, though it flickered in and out like a sputtering candle. Thor reached up, released the lock on the metal muzzle and pulled it from his brother’s face. | “Tell me!” “‘Gone but not forgotten. Do you know what it is to be forgotten, Thor?” “You were not...“ “Oh, but I was!” Loki snarled rolling his eyes in a theatrical way. “I could scream my name from the pinnacle of Asgard and still Father would hear you better.” “You called him ‘Father’.” Thor hung up his voice.
Loki pulled away as if struck across the cheek, but said nothing. “Why did you try to take Earth, of all the realms?”
“Humans will kneel and listen to raw power. They care nothing for pretty speeches in banquet halls or drunken boasting before conquest. They see that they are weak, and become prey to it” a mischievous grin crawled on Loki’s lips. “They became prey to you. Father will have you executed for this” Thor said, leaning Mjolnir against his shoulder.
A fleeting pang clouded Loki’s brow before his face hardened into a mask of twisted amusement. “Then kill me, Thor. I know you were thinking about it.” “Do not make such jests!” His brother cried hoarsely as he tightened his grip on Mjolnir. “You know I will not..”
“I will not be a prisoner in Asgard again” Loki hissed between clenched teeth. “So kill me and spare Father the burdensome effort. See how easy it will be, to be the hero that strikes down a luckless villain!” “You will be silent!” Thor roared back as he held the muzzle just inches from Loki’s face. Loki smiled and cocked his head to the side, looking the contraption up and down. “You truly think a bit of metal can tie my tongue? I allowed you and your friends your little moment of triumph. Oh no, Thor, I was not helpless! There are wheels that race forever in my brain, though I seem to stand subdued. But I am no longer concerned with Earth at present, so by all means drag me back to the throne that was once mine.”
“Let Father decide”.
Thor locked the muzzle onto Loki’s jaw with a jerk of his wrist before wrenching his brother to his feet and prodding him down the darkened Bifrost with Mjolnir to his back.
