Loki

I have a friend who believes in me. I have a brother whom I love. I am my own, and I will not sit long in any box built for me. These things are right. These things we'll keep. As for the rest... Let's tell a different story. Let's be something new.

Extra page just for Loki because they mean so much to me. I love their story, their sense of humour, the way they deal with their struggles, their recurrent motifs. They make me very happy!

Canonical references to Loki's gender:

Odin: My children.
My son, my daughter, and my child who is both.
— Al Ewing, Original Sin #5.5

Odin: Loki.
My child who is both son and daughter.
Did I not say? I know everything you are.
And I love you still.
—Al Ewing, Loki: Agent of Asgard #11

Loki, shifting into a female presentation: I'm me. First, last and always.
...What?
Verity: I've, uh, never seen you... do that. I knew you could do that... but...
Loki: Well, I'm never going to be just one thing, am I? I'm not "goddess of some stories".
—Al Ewing, Loki: Agent of Asgard #14

Loki, after summoning an outfit for Doreen: Right? That's why you get a genderfluid demi-god to be your fashion designer. I know what works.
—Ryan North, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #27

Tony Stark: From up there, it looked like some real big-boy heroism.
Sorry, big-person heroism.
Loki: They're all acceptable, thanks for asking.
—Daniel Kibblesmith, Loki (2019) #4

“Do you have a preference? Between men and women?”
“I feel equally comfortable as either.”
“No, I don’t mean...not all of us can change our gender at will.”
“I don’t change my gender. I exist as both.”
“You’re not...That doesn’t make sense.”
“It does to me.”
—Mackenzi Lee, Loki: Where Mischief Lies

And yet I am neither Jotun nor God. Not truly. So what exactly does that make me? For many years I pondered that question before finally realizing the answer: I am... Loki. And a Loki isn't a slave to the whims of his ancestors. A Loki writes his own story.

There's still that gravity. What people expect. But...birds feel gravity, too. And acrobats, and dancers. And they dive and swoop and tumble anyway. Loop the loop, walk the wire...do tricks. Nah. No more evil. Mischief, now. That's still got legs.

Feilan blesi is a Midgardian, friend of Doreen Green and Nancy Whitehead, who first met Loki during the events of Agent of Asgard; it's around this time that Feilan adopted his name as means of taking agency over his own story. After being separateed following the reset of the universe, they were reunited a little before the God of Magic arc. With the War of the Realms coming, Feilan, following in Strange's footsteps, sought out a way of obtaining Asgardian magic from Yggdrasil.

Take me by the hand as we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands 'cause there's nobody at the wheel

▷ It Will Come Back - Hozier
It can't be unlearned
I've known the warmth of your doorways
Through the cold, I'll find my way back to you
