I've honestly been thinking one of the first people he'll meet is Scott due to their shared connection with Kang (even though they completely abandoned that) and he'd probably offer a nice segway into the rest of the new Avengers because they can be a handful, whereas Scott is fairly chill and a bit of a rule breaker himself, he'd probably get him on his podcast or something lmao

Depends, while I think the what if episode is a nice way to imagine it, clearly Loki was put there for a reason and Odin just grabbing him and returning him wouldn't prevent Laufey from chucking him out again or putting him somewhere else to keep him safe, depending on the reason he was cast out on the first place.

We do see that he is definitely small for a frost giant, being the size of a normal human/Asgardian baby, so something's up with his biology. I do believe it's cannon (at least in the comics) that Frost giants shrink or don't grow properly in the wrong environment so that could've influenced his stature, as well as Odin's spell, but he's also canonically a "runt"?

So let's say he was abandoned for being small? He'd probably just die.

From Bucky: a journal. Bucky himself writes a lot to retain his memory and, Loki has definitely written in tons of journals over his lifetime, although I feel like later in his life he had less and less spare time to write. It's nothing valuable, just a customised little journal because Bucky thinks Loki could benefit from writing about his feelings more often, he wants to encourage that in him

Brunhilde (Valkyrie): a dagger, typical Loki gift, you see it all the time in fics and now in the Loki show, it's his whole thing, but I can't see her getting him anything else, it just fits. It's got obsidian, emerald, gold, snakes, all that Loki stuff.

Thor: a wooden music box of their family. Something personal, something to remind Loki that he's part of the family, with a traditional Asgardian song their mother used to sing for them. It's made of old Asgardian oak and hand carved by Thor himself. Loki cries upon receiving this, A LOT OF TEARS.

Bruce banner: a hologram projector type thing. Loki can set it to anything with a little coding but it has preset projections such as fireworks, the northern lights, and the night sky. Post Ragnarok, Bruce studied what remained of Asgardian maps of the stars and attempted to recreate the Asgardian night sky. (mainly for a tower/compound Au where he has no magic he can still comfort himself with illusions of his favourite things.)

Sigurd: including him because I like him, probably some Asgardian herbs for tea that Frigga used to grow and have with them, very rare post Ragnarok, and what's needed to grow more.

For Thor: matching tattoos, well the promise of matching tattoos. He hands Thor the stencils, it's their symbols with snakes and goats and Mjolnir and tons of things about their relationship (BROTHERS) and Loki tells Thor that he's not ready to accept his body yet, especially being a frost giant, so he might be a long way away from getting a tattoo, but it's the promise that he'll stay and get it one day.

For Sigyn: a handcrafted necklace with sea glass. This one relates to a hc of mine, Sigyn works mainly with potions and alchemy (also gardening and botany) so she breaks a lot of bottles, inspiring an interest in glass work. Now she recycles the glass she finds, makes stained glass art, beautiful sculptures and accessories, cuts bottles for mini plant pots, blows vases, cups, anything. So one day Loki goes to the beaches of Midgard and spends a week straight, no sleep, writing a letter detailing his feelings towards her and many other things (it ends up being a VERY long letter), while taking breaks to search for the most perfect sea glass to make into a gorgeous necklace for his love.

Other: a green scarf with gold embroidery depicting fenrir, sleipnir, and jormungandr travelling along it, a set of puzzle fidgets so he doesn't pick at his hands as often
