Well, it started off as most have before and after me, I watched Thor in the theatre, liked it but didn't understand why people were all obsessed with Loki or the guy playing him.
Then, I saw Midnight in Paris and I TOTALLY got the Tom Hiddleston thing then, lol.
So, it started off as MCU Loki with fanon thrown in, but then, there was so little MCU Loki that we were all studying the myths especially when the films included Sleipnir or references to his other children.
This was right around the time that Journey into Mystery still had Kid!Loki...I'm usually a sucker for that sort of thing; Muppet Babies, Tazmania, Flintstone Kids, etc. But I loved Kid!Loki and then, I was totally not surprised when Tom Hiddleston mentioned being such a fan of the series because Kid!Loki did seem to mesh with his characterization more than the classic Marvel version. Then, he joined up with the Young Avengers, including one of my most favorite characters ever...Kate Bishop and I loved it. I am waiting for the graphic novel in August to read the new Loki series but it sounds awesome.
I now love basically any Loki...basically because the classic Marvel Loki is just...weird looking and exceptionally angry. Even if he is a God, I feel like any being that's had that much sex and it's generally not described as rape unlike Odin...must be fairly good-looking in addition to the witty way with words.
One thing that I would love to be addressed more is that some scholars interpret the Lokasenna to mean that Odin has also taken female form and borne children like Loki...if nothing else, that seems like perfect fanfiction fodder.
