Mysterious Earth Legends I Believe Loki is Actually Responsible For: A Thread

1) Atlantis - During his teen years, Loki used his seiðr to turn the entirety of Asgard’s Royal Court into a bunch of marsvīn as a prank. It took days for Frigga and the other magic users in the palace to reverse the transfiguration spell, and due to Loki’s unapologetic attitude about what he did, Odin banished him to an island (a modern day Crete) on a primitive planet named Midgard for a couple hundred years as punishment. Loki brooded for five or six decades before he swam to the main land, rose to power thanks to some support from a few Greek citizens (and some dude named Plato) who were revolting against the government, and created his own city of rebels called Atlantis. When Odin came to retrieve Loki after his sentence ended, he was infuriated at the debauchery and carelessness he saw. Loki had shared his magic, lustful desires, and knowledge of Asgardian tools and weapons with these Midgardians, propelling their natural technological development dangerously ahead of the natural path. In a furious rage, Odin destroyed the entire city with a violent volcanic eruption and sent it—and the advanced knowledge it contained—sinking to the bottom of the ocean with a massive earthquake before he dragged Loki back home. Despite losing the city and advanced society he formed, Loki couldn’t help but smile when he realized Odin hadn’t killed all of the intelligent marsvīn-esque creatures he had created while on his island and he hoped the next time he visited he would still find the oceans full of his dolphins.

2) Merlin - Loki was the magician, Thor was Arthur, and the dragon was Volstagg. They were all basically cosplaying.

3) Stonehenge - Loki got drunk on Xandarian wine, traveled to Midgard, and stumbled around giggling while he arranged a bunch of rocks to make a makeshift Asgardian Colosseum of the Arts. He then made an illusion of an audience and drunkenly recited some very vulgar Asgardian poetry before passing out in the middle of the field… which is where Thor found him the next morning, still asleep. He picked his brother up, threw him over his shoulder, and had Heimdall take them home. Thor didn’t know Loki had made the stone formation, so he left it how it was.

4) D.B. Cooper - [CONFIRMED BY THE DISNEY+ SERIES]

5) Jack The Ripper - Thor was coming into his fertility powers, essentially fucking his way through Asgard. Loki was jealous, and since his brother had already “sullied the pool of women” with his dick, he decided to take a field trip to Midgard. He had some fun, but his darkness was a little bit stronger than he realized due to the anger and annoyance at Thor, and he ended up accidentally killing one of the hookers. The release he got from killing helped, so he kept going, trying different techniques, mutilations, digging around to look inside of humans, and just generally being a fucking psychopath. But, people were starting to get suspicious of the strange man hanging around London that appeared shortly before the killings began, so he vanished and returned to Asgard.
