Word vomit!!!
I have thoughts about fictional characters and I'm going to run through them here.
Frigga, Odin, and terribledads.
I like the idea of Odin being Loki's real father because they are so much alike in different ways. I'm fond of the idea that Odin is a slut. My main problem with this is Frigga. The goddess of childbirth and marriage, IMO, wouldn't stand for Odin's blatant debauchery and sluttin' it up in the nine realms. In theory, anyway. However, I like to think instead of turning a blind eye to Odin's shenanigans or bitterly cursing his name, she is completely OK with it, because of one thing: Odin's bastard lot.
In my terrible headcanon, Frigga is sterile. The greatest irony for the goddess of marriage and childbirth; however, this is perfect for Odin. He doesn't need to worry about who the true heirs are if any kid he has, Frigga adopts as her own. So, Odin does his thing and brings back kids for Frigga as a sort of apology and she gladly plays wife, mother, and queen to Odin.
Then there is Balder. In my land of pretend he's the true son of Frigga, but is not the son of her womb or Odin's sperm. He's an oddity, but Frigga favors him over the rest, because he is hers. She didn't birth him, but made him from earth, witchcraft, or alchemy (something like a golem), thus the true son of Frigga: he's all her essence without the taint of someone else. He is Frigga's. Now Frigga's favoritism isn't obvious (like Odin's), because she loves all her "children". It's subtle in the way she makes sure nothing can hurt Balder/etc.
Blarghhghhh word vomit.
