If Thor and Loki have babies of their own...

Their sons will be...

The older one, Modi, has Loki’s facial features and a darker shade of Thor’s blonde hair. He is wise and obedient, knowing he has to inherit the throne one day.

IT WAS ALL PART OF THE MASTER PLAN ⚡👶🏻🐍

Another Anon Ask: What is an ideal Thorkling supposed to look like? Assuming it is male. Will it have Thor’s blonde hair or Loki’s dark locks? Will it have Thor’s eyes or Loki’s? Please tell me!!! 

Ah, thorklings!

In my opinion, it’s a genetic roulette wheel when it comes to Thor and Loki’s babies. Anything is possible. I may pick a more jötunn child if it’s a story where I’m really trying to underline Loki’s heritage—kind of like what I’m doing in In Side Out, which is basically a great big “Loki coming to terms with being a frost giant” fic (and having lots of sex with Thor ofc). 

For a human AU I’d naturally go with the standard human baby stuff. Perhaps the thorkling will take after one parent more than the other—Thor’s blond hair and build with Loki’s cunning, mischievous personality, or Loki’s dark hair and slim frame with Thor’s affable, laughable nature. Or maybe (more realistically) their traits are equally matched and we end up with a thorkling who has brown hair and teal eyes, a tall-medium build, and is very astute yet easygoing. 

Perhaps Thor has a red-headed gene and the kid ends up with flaming ginger hair. Or—and here we’re going back to canon again—maybe Loki’s jötunn genes are really strong and he and Thor have a baby with blue skin and blue eyes and everything is blue da ba dee da ba dah. Maybe it’s even a giant kid! Hey, it’s possible.

It’s fun, this mix-and-match. Did you ever do Punnett Squares in school? That was the highlight of freshman year biology for me. I would draw them for fun, typically with a flair of fantasy to them. Kitsune and werewolves and all that.

Speaking of which, I think it’d be hilarious and very appropriate if, out of Thor and Loki’s mostly-humanoid children, the odd monster popped up. Maybe something to do with Loki’s shapeshifting shenanigans mutating his eggs so that the family portrait hanging over the fireplace is of two proud parents and their three kids, one of whom happens to be a giant wolf. Or maybe the opposite: all of the thorklings are monsters except for one completely normal kid who is considered the “odd one” of the family but is nonetheless loved, just as the monster kids are.

A fambly 💙

Ah thank you, anon, I’m so glad to hear you like that AU! I don’t have anything new to report just yet, but I’m hoping to update the adventures of sea snake sorcerer Loki and merman Thor and their seven little merbeebs this coming mermay!

Haha oh man I don’t think there’s even such thing as birth control when one is gettin it on with a fertility god! 😂 Loki can have a babe at his breast, one in the oven, and Thor will plant a brand new seed right alongside the one that’s already there (in a process called superfetation, which is pretty fascinating and paints some really luscious images of Loki just soft and round and fecund, barefoot and barely dressed, looking gorgeous on account of Thor’s magic healing semen, lounging on a chaise in comfortable silks and satins and pillows, breasts plump and on display, nipples leaking from being so full of milk, gold and jewels adorning his lovely limbs, and a smug look on his face like he’s thinking, “Yes, worship me, you craven mortals, for I am great with the thundergod’s children and worthy of your envy.” Got dam I wanna draw that 👀🔥💦)

But back to the topic at hand, I headcanon that there’s no such thing as an accidental/unexpected pregnancy when it comes to a fertility god. After all, who would ask for Thor’s blessing if they didn’t truly want a child? And surely a god would know the desires of the hopeful parent’s heart. That’s how I view it with Thor and Loki. Loki and Thor must both be willing to accept another child in order for that seed to be planted. 

Timing might be an issue, though. That haggard and pissed-off Loki you mentioned? I bet he has no idea that he had to be super specific with his heart’s desires in order to avoid getting slammed full of babies by his virile thunderbrother every month. I can totally see him just rounding on Thor like

“One year. That’s all I wanted. ONE year, Thor, before our next baby. Thrúd is only six months old. She’s not even weaned yet! And this morning I discover I’m three months gone with our second child. What do you have to say to that?”

Without missing a beat, Thor beams and says, “If this one’s a boy, can we name him Modi?”
