You Ever See Someone So Coked-up On Adulthood That They've Replaced Every Shred Of Interiority With A

Thor. (Thor 1)

Thor is a brother. A prince. King. Lover. Fighter. Avenger. His identity is wrapped so tightly around these fragments that if he lets go, he’ll fall to pieces. But he’s fragmented because he shattered. And he shattered because of what happened in Thor: God of Thunder. 

Thor’s arc in the first movie, I believe, centers around the idea of consequences. It’s not falling in love with Jane, it’s not Asgard, not someone slapping him over the head. It’s the fact that his choices suddenly have weight and meaning. 

Thor gets banished for slaughtering Jotun unprovoked. 

Thor’s relationship with Jane, Darcy, and Erik is poor because he’s treating them like crap. 

Thor fails to capture his hammer because he’s not worthy. (To whatever standard Odin has set.) 

Thor, as he’s told, is the catalyst of his father’s death. 

There’s this moment in this scene when you can watch his face go from earnest to oh. That was me. I did that. Me. Not you. ME.

Thor is the prince of Asgard, which is basically an empire of nine worlds. He is used to having diplomatic immunity. He could do no wrong. With that ripped out away from him, Thor doesn’t talk. He shuts down, and settles inside himself, thinking. 

Not reacting. Thinking. 

Thor isn’t an idiot. He’s impulsive, there’s a difference. His first reaction is violence, because he was raised in a society where slapping your enemies over the head brutally was just something that was done. As much as I love Frigga, when Thor was banished, in the deleted scene, she didn’t go to Odin so tell him oh my gosh, our son killed all these Jotuns, why didn’t we teach him better? She complains that Odin’s punishment was too harsh. 

Thor has never been told to stretch this much, and had it stick before. And Loki does it. He does it in a way that’s a little cruel, and cold, but he tells Thor to stop being such an idiot. 

And Thor, miracle of miracles, actually listens. 

This is not a story of Thor becoming worthy. This is the story of Thor realizing where his priorities need to be. It’s the story of him growing up. 

And this is where we get to my final point. I think that almost none of this–none of it–would have sunk deeply into Thor’s psyche if Loki didn’t fall of the Bifrost when they fought. 

Look at them. Loki is dangling. Thor is being held onto by his foot. 

And Thor doesn’t care. 

Because the only thing he’s focused on is his little brother. Hanging there. Dying. His best friend that just tried to kill all the Jotuns. His confidante that just disowned him. His biggest supporter that fought him. And Thor doesn’t understand. He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what Loki uncovered at that point.

This is just his brother who is going to die if he doesn’t do anything. 

And then Loki addresses his last words to their father. Not him. Their father. And Odin rejects him. It always struck me that Thor sees Loki’s face close off and then immediately knows what Loki is going to do. He’s not surprised, he’s not shocked. He knows. Loki lets go, and Thor can’t catch him.

Thor can fly. Odin didn’t let him go until Loki was beyond any chance of recovery, and Thor blamed himself. He’s solemn after Loki’s death. He rejects his parents’ and friends’ comfort. He goes to Heimdall to start looking out for Jane, because he is not going to let someone else he cares about slip beyond his reach. 

Thor’s consequence for his actions in Thor 1 was his brother. And that nearly killed him. Thor 1 was never, never about becoming worthy. At least, not for Thor.

“How is he?”

“He mourns for his brother.”

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

i've been on here a lot longer than this, but thanks i guess?

100% agree, i miss the time in the loki fandom where loki could just be shipped with whoever

as a person who has always seen mcu!loki as an aroace peep (because the aroace-spec people are sorely missing representation) to the extent that i headcanon that multiple characters, especially those that have gone through similar trauma as me. there are few of us, but we are proud and we are strong

First Sylvie invaded the Echantress and Enchantricks tag, then she invaded the Lady Loki/Fem Loki tag, now Sylvie has invaded the Sigyn tag. 🥲 Why can’t people tag her properly?

They want attention

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

Hey, thanks for replying!

I actually have been able to clarify that it was loki contacting me. I basically used osteomancy (but with cinnamon sticks instead of bones) to confirm. I was also gifted a wooden pendulum since then, and it had worked well so far.

He's also given me some wacky dreams when I have asked. I wanted to try and use the dreams to attempt direct communication, but instead he pranked me :(

Thanks again for the help, and I'm glad to have figured it out

hey! i've been having some experiences lately that feel like loki is reaching out that i dont fully know what to do with.

so as of late, i've been lighting a candle while doing schoolwork just as a "come and chill with me" thing (i do have protections up ofc), but i keep having these experience since i've started this, being less than a week.

so i have chronic back pain from scoliosis, and i've been having minor flare-ups of pain for the past week or so (which isn't why i started the candle thing btw). but since i have started this, i've been getting this strange sensation in my spine. like it feels almost like a breeze that goes up my spine, but on the inside, like through my spine and muscles themselves. i wish i had a better way to explain the feeling, but since i've started this practice that's been happening, which has never happened before and i have been unable to find a scientific explaination for this.

the reason i'm thinking this is loki is mainly just based on intuition (whatever little of it i may have as a beginner). the action just feels like him in a way that i can't explain (which, as i am writing this, it is happening more so it almost feels like a confirmation :') ). i don't feel comfortable trying to read the candle flame bc its a shitty cheap candle that is behaving in the way that a low-quality candle would behave (according to my meager research in trying to find an answer to this). i also am very bad at tarot/runes at the moment and don't feel truly confident in getting an answer from them due to my inexperience.

do you have any suggestions as to what i can look into to possibly confirm/deny what's going on?

thanks so much for your time :)

This is a late reply so idk if you’re still figuring things out, but if tarot/runes are still evading you, you can always ask for dreams, signs, or portents. Deities are usually pretty chill about proving themselves and offering clarification.

and with your help it can rack up 700k notes on tumblr in 2024

no tumblr this doesnt need tags im releasing it into the wild as god intended

got tagged by @supervillainarchaeologist so now its time to show my fic preferences >:)

bold those that apply:

slow burn or love at first sight • fake dating or secret dating • enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers • there was only one bed or long distance correspondence • hurt/comfort or amnesia • mutual pining or domestic bliss • canon-compliant or fix-it • smut or fluff • angst or crack • redemption or dark fic • reincarnation or character death • one-shot or multi-chapter • arranged marriage or accidental marriage • college romance or middle age romance • time travel or isolated together • neighbors or roommates • oh no they’re hot or monster s.o. • fantasy au or sci-fi au • apocalyptic au or modern au • historical au or isekai fic

btw, most of the romance ones i would honestly switch out for more found family/parental/platonic tropes bc im an aroace toddler that doesn't understand romance :(

thats it for me! i dont really have many mutuals lol so everyone i could tag has probably already done it

This but it's actually a thing for my fandom that the character is written badly and not cared for by basically everyone except their actor. So I've made it my sworn duty to protect the og version of him and rewrite the present narrative to follow the beats that the studio seems to want for the franchise without sacrificing the character.

You don't have to tell me I have a problem. I know.

i mean this in the gentlest possible way but if 75% of what you're posting for a given fandom is fuming rage spirals then maybe just maybe it's time to take a step back and consider whether or not you're actually having any fun with this optional thing you do for fun
