So Odin's Original Plan For Loki Was To Be A Simbol Of Unity And Peace Between Kingdoms... Remind Me

So Odin's original plan for Loki was to be a simbol of unity and peace between kingdoms... Remind me again how royal families unify kingdoms? Oh that's right, through marriage. Marriage between the prince of Asgard and the prince of Jotunheim maybe?

But for that plan to work, Loki should have known about his past. He should have know he was a frost giant because it would have been a public knowledge. Maybe not from the beginning but Odin would have had to tell him at some point.

But that's not the case. At least not in the sacred timeline.

So... Who do we know that didn't follow the sacred timeline's plan and was raised in Asgard knowing about their past? Sylvie, maybe?

In conclusion: Sylvie was engaged to Thor in her timeline.

13th Doctor newly regenerated: why are you calling me madam?

Yaz panicking thinking she just misgendered someone: I'm sorry... sir?

13th Doctor not giving it too much thinking and continuing with her regeneration drama: :)

Later that day

13th Doctor looking for a new outfit in the TARDIS, finding out about her new body and going out of the TARDIS where Yaz is waiting: I need new clothes, I'm a woman now, you coming?

Yaz assuming the Doctor is gender fluid: yeah, cool.

And they continued to be mutually confused for an entire regeneration.

Yaz doesn't know when to use each pronoun so she just uses them randomly when speaking about the Doctor. The Doctor is so confused on why she does that at the begining but she doesn't care enough about her gender to correct Yaz. They never ask eachother about it. They just chill.

WHAT'S YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE?GALLIFREYAN

Okay, so. It’s canon that River knows gallifreyan. And we know she leaves messages for the Doctor spread through all of space and time. Nice, nice. But, hear me out: she leaves messages in gallifreyan for him. Very easy to imagine, right?

But you know who else is out there (aside from the Doctor) who knows enough to recognise the language when he sees it?

Yeah, yeah, the Master, shut up, this is not about him. No, I mean Captain Jack (because I’m weak and in love and can’t help any of it)

So, lets say Jack comes across one of this messages, in an old painting or an abandoned rock that used to be part of a building. And we all know he’s kinda more than a little bit in love with the Doctor, right? You don’t even need two eyes to see it, it’s all over him. Okay so, what does he do? He takes it.

He doesn’t really know what it says, he just thinks it’s what little remains of the Doctor’s people. And he keeps finding them, and he takes them to preserve them, maybe to show him when they eventually cross paths again. He tries deciphering them. He has time and has learned many languages through the centuries, and they say that the more languages you know, the easier it is to learn new ones, right?

(and if it reminds him of trying to unravel similar messages with Rose -sitting in the console room with one of the Doctor’s sticky notes between them, making up things to get him to laugh- and remembering makes his heart break with longing and nostalgia, well... it’s no one’s business but his own)

Okay so, here’s when a previous headcanon of mine comes into play (ask me about the details, I’d love to rant about it). For me, Jack Harkness and River Song are good friends (and on and off lovers because this is Jack and River who we’re talking about). It’s not so difficult to imagine them running into each other and becoming friends. They would get on like a house on fire.

So. Back to the Gallifreyan. At some point River discovers his collection. She laughs her head off. No wonder the Doctor didn’t get them. So for practicality’s sake she teaches him how to read it. Jack’s got a Vortex Manipulator, after all, and he’ll eventually get it fixed. That way he won’t keep hoarding the messages and someone else can answer her calls.

Eventually, as it’s meant to happen, the three of them find themselves in the same place. It doesn’t really matter who left the message, only that they all show up. It has to be Eleven, to not mess up with River’s timeline. And he’s surprised to see Jack. Reluctant, too. You know Eleven, always avoiding the past as if his life depended on it. (The constant flirting between the Captain and his wife doesn’t help. And the other two are having too much fun flustering him with it to tone it down, anyway.) At the end they solve the issue or whatever and they carry on on their merry ways.

BUT the Doctor now knows that Jack has learned Gallifreyan. And he know that Jack’s not the only companion who’s tried. Martha did, too, back when she was in UNIT. There’s a small department that focuses on it. A couple of very stubborn and single-minded geniuses that have not yet managed to crack it up. He knows that. And has heard that Donna sometimes doodles them in the margins of all the paperwork she manages. UNIT keeps track of these kind of things, you see.

And so it nags at him. So much, in fact, that the TARDIS redecorates and includes Gallifreyan in the console room. He keeps waiting for Clara to ask about it. He imagines teaching her how he learned. He’s got the blackboard and everything. This language is so close to his heart, and he’s ready to share it with his people, his chosen people. Because that’s what Rose and Martha and Jack were trying to do, to connect with him. And he’s ready to let them. Or to let Clara, who is the one here right now.

But she never asks.

Neither does Bill.

By the time Yaz tries, the Doctor’s given up.

She is blonde and the doctor has met her as a baby... Is Ruby going to be a love interest?

I'm re-entering the MCU fandom after quite some time and I've started rewatching everything that contains Loki because... well... it's Loki.

I saw Thor and Avengers and all I could think about was:

Loki season 2 episode 5 spoilers ahead.

You know what breaks my heart? Loki crying because he is scared to lose the life he has built in the TVA. Scared to lose his friends. Scared to be alone.

But you know what breaks my heart even harder? Loki unconsciously time slipping to his loved ones because he is scared to be alone and not accidentally time slipping to Thor. Because he could have done that. But he was scared and alone and he didn't think about his brother. Because he has just invaded New York and he isn't yet the Loki I adore. And now, he will never be.
