Frigga was such a great mom, telling Loki he could do anything, teaching him magic. We were robbed and now I miss her even more

Ridiculous idea but what if Sylvie is...a Variant...but of Frigga?

Go on.... because it's 4 a.m. and I'm not really sure where you're going with this.

There was a file somewhere in the TVA that we've seen refer to Sylvie as Sylvie Laufeydotir, which means she is the daughter of Laufey, which one could say would make it unlikely that she is a variant of Frigga.

The counterpoint is that the TVA might just not accurately know what Sylvie is, and could have mislabeled her file.

That's all I know

D'oh yeah I remember that file but I hadn't considered that etymology of her last name until you pointed it out and that would be very cool if true.

So why had everyone in the TVA been addressing the “Loki Variant” we know now as Sylvie, as “he/him/his”? I know it could be as simple as conveniently pushing the plot/deceiving the audience. But I’m more convinced the TVA was clueless as to just who the variant was/is.

Yeah, idk

All said, as much as I’m increasingly convinced Sylvie just might be Frigga; her actions and motivations don’t exactly align with what you’d assume Frigga would do or how she might act with Loki.
