Magni and Modi
So if Modi and Magni were brought back, I feel like after the abuse they delt with they will have a lot to deal with but it will only come after a while of conflict. Both will regress different ways.
Magni would inherent Thor's mindset of being just a destroyer and would probably just go find a conflict or a war to be part of. This would mean that Thor would have to go find his son and bring him back. This would probably end up in a fight between father and son. However I would not see Thor actually hitting Magni at this point and just block and trying to subdue his son until he is willingly to listen.
Modi would leave instantly. Given his motif of being a "coward", I just think he both hates conflict and at some point has anxiety. He would probably inherent his father's alcoholism, to drown his past abuse. His journey for forgiveness with Thor would take way longer. I have an idea in which it would take Modi seeing his own son interact with Thor, and finally seeing how much his father has changed. In turn begrudgingly allowing his children to develop a relationship with their grandfather. Perhaps Thor could even save them, furthering Thor's role as the protective dad and finally embracing it without odin's influence.
Magni and modi while one of my comfort characters...are making my life fucking hell. I'm so overly frustrated with trying to find a way to keep the brothers alive or be ressurected in my au. Alot of it being because of the game's insistent need to keep things vague and confusing. Down to the timeline itself which is so confusing. But rn specifically the rules of souls and the afterlife. I've read many theories about why magni and modi didn't come back to life. but none of them are confirmed and all of them have holes.
But all this could be avoided if I simply just let them live with their interactions with Kratos and atreus. I have two issues with this
1. I give to much power to cannon. despite hating how the aesir were handled, I struggle with going to far away from what would be considered cannon. Thinking that putting them in a whole new setting or situation is crazy as hell.
2. the deaths of both of them, push thor to stop drinking. He finally saw the consequences of his anger and started to see the error in his ways.
Another way to deal with this would be to let them just stay dead and also because it keeps the consequences of thor's inaction and abuse but ugggghh, the aesir deserve agnst and happiness.
Ughhhh just end my suffering
