I’ve been thinking about this line a lot. And I’m not sure it’s given all the credit it deserves. It is well overshadowed by Thor’s immediate response (”surrender’s not in mine”), and by the line that steals this whole scene: “Trust my rage.” 

But there’s something about this line that gets me, and I think it’s because it is probably the truest thing Loki has ever said about himself. 

Loki, as we well know, is a master of avoiding his own problems, or else manipulating them to look like everyone else’s. He has told himself so many lies that he has begun to believe them: that he is hated, that he is alone, that he will never be anything but Loki. Frigga even points this out: “Always so perceptive, about everyone but yourself”. Loki can read everyone else, but when it comes to reading himself? Oh, Hel no. Those are dangerous waters, and he would rather not drown there. 

And that’s why this line is so surprising and just so good. The fact that Loki is never satisfied is, when you think about it, pretty much the root of all his problems (at least ones that he can control). As a child and young adult, he appears to have mastered magic, but that was never enough, because it wasn’t like Thor, it wasn’t what Asgard wanted, it wasn’t what Odin wanted (or so he thought). He wants to be Thor’s equal, little realising that in many ways he is, but that, too, is not enough. He tries to be Thor, and is never satisfied. He tries to be Loki, and is never satisfied. He goes out of his way to prove himself to his family, and still he craves more. And so it escalates. A throne. A planet. He keeps reaching and reaching, oblivious to the fact that whilst he is grasping for the mountain’s peak, the rocks beneath him are slipping away. 

And now we come to Ragnarok, and Loki has what he claims he has always wanted: the throne. A chance to rule. And I don’t think for a moment it is what he expects. Because once he has something, it no longer fulfills him; and he is stuck without a family, bearing the weight of the kingship, and I’m nintey-nine percent sure all he can do is sit there thinking ‘Well. Now what?’

And this is why happiness is so foreign to Loki, and always will be, and why he has doomed himself: for contentment, he must learn to settle, and because he is Loki, he will never settle. And so the cycle continues, and he proves time and time again that Loki’s worst enemy will always be Loki.

Hey! So.. you're a gr8 fanfic author and I just wanted to ask could u make a post on Jason and his glasses? Cuz I feel they aren't appreciated enough. Thxx

First of all, thank you so much. And I'm so sorry. this came ages ago but I had ~no motivation~

My specialty is New Rome so like pre-HoO Jason and his glasses?¿

Baby Jason getting glasses because he's shortsighted and it's so huge for his face that it looks a bit ridiculous but everyone finds it adorable

Getting teased and called four eyes and nerd around the age of 11 by Dakota, Bobby and Felix.

The first time he flies, his glasses fall down and breaks and he gets really sad because it was one of his only links to his childhood when everything was better.

He constantly removes his glasses and then forgets where he leaves it.

Getting contacts when he's around 15 and he gets them in different colors like green and brown.

Reyna absolutely hates it because she's like I love your blue eyes Airhead.

He occasionally changes the frames because he's so sick of the monotony

Hating the way his glasses get fogged up when he drinks something hot so he sticks to cold drinks usually.

He never has the cloth to clean his glasses. He always uses the end of his toga or the ends of his shirt to wipe the lens.

Definitely the type to stick to plain rectangular frames though he did try owl glasses once but immediately decided it wasn't for him

Every time he does paper work his glasses slide down the bridge of his nose so he pushes it back up.

All the girls at Camp have a thing for glasses!Jason even though he has no clue why. He's always like "I look like a dork. Why would they like me?"

And like Gwen explains to him that glasses make some people look hotter for some reason and the poor boy is so bewildered by the end of the conversation

Helmets never sitting quite right on his face due to the glasses so he develops a figting style that defends his face at all times.

He doesn't like letting people wearing his glasses though he does make an exception for a few people (*cough* Reyna *cough*)

He can see well enough without them but he gets really bad headaches if he goes for a more than a few hours without wearing them.

He usually removes his glasses when he's about to kiss someone because glasses complicate stuff

So that's it. Most of it is taken from my experience wearing glasses so I think it's pretty accurate?

Please do reblog and leave some feedback because those really help.

There you go girl... life is a fucking shit without its hopes.

Pandora opened the box—

inside the box there was a great wickedness. inside the box there was an apple. inside the box there was the knowledge of good and evil. inside the box there was a mirror. inside the box there was the contents of her own heart, given form and volition. inside the box there was a darkness that was dispelled the moment it was opened, leaving her only with an open box and all the world around her and an amorphous sense of dread.

inside the box there was another box. inside the box there was the box itself, unopened. inside the box there was a replica of the world and all its ills, made miniature. inside the box there was an infinite series of progressively smaller boxes, so that her labor might never be complete, nay, not til the end of mankind.

inside the box there was a secret. inside the box there was the bloody remains of all the women who had dared to open the box before her. inside the box there was a great treasure, a revelation that could outweigh all the splendor of the idyllic world around her. inside the box was whatever evil her Creator had placed inside of it to begin with. inside the box was the innermost portion of the soul that must first be known in order to be loved, were she to love Him in His entirety. inside the box was her inheritance. inside the box was evidence of a crime.

inside the box there was a promise. inside the box there was nothing at all, nothing but a moral lesson. inside the box there was a tiny image of Pandora herself, her head bent over a box as if seen from a great height, and when Pandora looked up it was then for the first time she saw the four walls surrounding her.

Inside the box there was a perfect world, just waiting to begin.

He’s beauty, he’s grace, falling from Doctor Strange’s portal straight on his face.
