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.” 

my tumblr experience (colorized)

I love screaming into the void, I do, but these normal text posts go absolutely nowhere and sometime it does get a bit frustrating

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

it is appalling to me how impossible it is to talk to my parents about the palestinian-israeli war. my dad is catholic irishman, and my mom is ashkenazi jewish from poland. i am an only child. we are agnostic. both sides of my family have experienced genocide.

one of my relatives in ireland once had a hatchet thrown at him for being catholic, my grandad was once fired after less than three hours on a job because they found out he is catholic. my great-grandma on my mom's side is the only known survivor of the holocaust in my family.

yet, as soon as the palestinian-israeli war started, such historical context was tossed aside in order to put "democracy" up on a pillar.

i am angry, i am sad, and i just wish that there were people out there that i could talk with who would understand me and my views.

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 post will be an introduction to scripting - you can also use scripting for manifesting but this post will mainly talk about scripting from a reality shifting point of view. I will start off with some general calcifications for the people who are new to reality shifting itself.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

“Simply put, reality shifting is the movement of your consciousness from one reality to another (...). Think of yourself not as one physical body but as one conscious being that expands over all realities. When you shift, you tune into that consciousness in another reality.” - @astra-nomy

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

DR (desired reality) - The reality you want to shift to. You can have as many DRs as you want.

DR self (desired reality self) - This refers to yourself in your desired reality.

CR (current reality) or OR (original reality) - It’s the reality you’re shifting from to your DRs and back. Basically, the reality you're living in right now.

WR (waiting room) - This is a reality you can make up and use as something like a lobby where you can go to before shifting to your DRs. You don’t need a waiting room but many use it to spend some time there when they want to 'escape' their CR for a bit but also don’t want to go to their DRs.

-> ꜱᴄʀɪᴘᴛɪɴɢ

In the following paragraphs I will explain what scripting is and how to do it. I will also try to give you some ideas for scripting and answer some common questions.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

If you want to shift realities you can write a script to define what you would like to experience in your DR - how you should look like, how you want things to play out or how you want the reality to look like etc. Whatever you script will happen in your DR.

𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐀 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

No, not really. Scripting is completely optional and you don’t need a script to shift. As shifting mainly operates on the bases of your subconsciousness, you don’t need to script everything because your subconsciousness already knows what you want - because it's you. It's just that scripting helps most of us with visualizing certain things, organizing our thoughts and committing to our idea of what exactly we want to experience. Reading your script before attempting to shift can also make the process of shifting easier for you.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

Actually, you don’t need to keep anything in mind while scripting. There are no rules on how to do it and there are many different ways to script. Just find a way of scripting that you enjoy.

The format doesn’t matter. You can find yourself a cute notebook and use it for scripting or you can make a digital script.

You don’t need to care about your way of phrasing things. You don’t need to write from a specific perspective. You can write it as if you're creating a character or you can write it from your point of view. Also, you don’t need to write full sentences. You can just write ‘brown hair’ instead of ‘I have brown hair’ or you can just use an emoji that shows someone with brown hair - it really doesn't matter how you do it as long as YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.

It is not always about writing, you can also use pictures to express what you mean. For example you can make a moodboard or create a file on your phone with pictures representing what you want. Or you can even make a presentation or a short video.

You don’t need to script every detail! The length of your script doesn’t matter! You could just write ‘I have brown hair.’ as the only thing to script and anything else in your DR would still include all the other things you want. I often see people who get anxious when they try to shift because they feel like they haven’t scripted enough - that is totally unreasonable! As I said before, your subconsciousness already knows what you want and making a script is not even necessary to begin with. So please be careful with getting obsessed with making your script ‘perfect’. If you can’t decide on something just leave it open instead of being unhappy with what you scripted- your subconsciousness will fill in all the gaps. Just make it enjoyable for yourself!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

You can include anything you want! But I will give you some ideas on what to include but just know that they are not necessary.

ꜱʜɪꜰᴛɪɴɢ ᴀꜰꜰɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

Here you can write down just normal shifting affirmations. You can also script how you shift like with a certain method or with a certain action like tapping your wrist free times and saying the name of your DR whatever.

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀ:

You can define how your DR looks like, what the living circumstances are, you can make up new stuff in your DR (especially if you're shifting to a series/movie). You can script that racism or homophobia and stuff like that doesn't exist there or just that everyone is being treated right. If your DR is based on a movie/series you can script that certain events don’t happen and you can make up new events/situationships. You can script certain scenarios you want to happen. Also, some people write down their first shifting moment - when and where they shift to and how they want it to play out. I also saw some people writing down stuff like ‘No one finds my behavior weird the first time a shift’ etc.

ꜱᴀꜰᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ/ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

A safe word in shifting is a word or action or phrase you can say when you quickly want to go back to your CR or WR! It works instantly and it can be anything you want - many use something weird that you wouldn’t say normally in your daily life but something you can easily remember (something like ‘Hakuna matata’ or ‘Back to the ghetto’ lmao). If you want, you can also script that your safe words will only work when you want it to and/or you can script that you always remember your safe words.

ᴛɪᴍᴇ ʀᴀᴛɪᴏ/ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴇQᴜɪᴠᴀʟᴇɴᴄᴇ:

Here you define how much time passes in one reality (CR/DR) when you’re in another reality. For example, you could just script that ‘1 Week in your DR equals 30 minutes in your CR’ or that ‘1 year in your DR equals 1 hour in your CR’. Also, you can script that no time passes in your CR when you're in one of your DRs. And the same goes the other way around (how much time passes in your DRs when you’re in your CR). There are some rumors going around that a huge time difference would strain your body once you come back to your CR but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. You could script that everytime you shift back to your CR you’re well rested and healthy - or something like that.

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀ ꜱᴇʟꜰ:

You can list personal details (name, age, birth date etc.). You can describe how you look like, what your personality is like, what kind of powers or skills you have, what kind of background you have, your life circumstances, your housing, your family etc.

ɪᴍᴍᴜɴɪᴛʏ/ꜱᴀꜰᴇᴛʏ ᴀꜰꜰɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:

Really useful is also to script a certain immunity. I know that many people want to shift to certain realities that are a bit dangerous and where you have to fight and stuff so you could script something like ‘I am immune to being attacked/hurt. I am always safe and protected. I am immortal. I am immune poison or dr*gs.’ etc. I would also advise you maybe to script that you are immune to bringing trauma from your DRs to your CR and back or that your mental health stays unaffected. Also, you could think about what you would like to happen in the case of you dying in one of your DRs. I, for example, have scripted that I always wake up in my waiting room once I die in one of my DRs. It’s pretty much up to you what safety affirmation you use and it I guess it also depends on where you're shifting to.

ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱʜɪᴘꜱ:

You can make up new characters in your DR or include people from your CR (like your best friend). You can script their appearance, personality, abilities, your connections with etc. The same goes for characters that are already in your DR, you can change them completely or you can script how you are connected to them, what kind of relationship you have with them or how you get to meet them etc.

ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀɪᴇꜱ:

It could also be interesting for you to think about how you deal with your memories. I saw someone writing down that they forget their CR memories for a certain period of time to really experience life in their DR and then get their memories back at a certain time (for example after they went through the main plot). You can also script that when you’re in your DR that your CR is a distant memory but you’re aware that you need to return to your CR. Regarding your life in your CR: You could script that the memories of your DRs are stored in a library in your Waiting Room or you can script that your DR memories are just like fainted memories (like that of dreams) in your CR - so that it doesn’t affect you too much in your daily CR life. If you have romantic/close relationships with people in your DR, I would recommend to script that you don’t feel these feelings as intense or not at all when you're in your CR (so that you don’t struggle with missing them or get ‘homesick’ in your CR). Another tip from me is that if you have a waiting room, try to shift to your WR first. There you can process the experiences of your DR and try to rest for some time and mentally prepare yourself for your CR life before shifting back to your CR - because many often struggle in their daily CR life after shifting back especially if they stayed in their DR for a long period of time - and you can avoid that if you give yourself enough time in (for example) a waiting room.

ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ:

As there is no limit to what you can script you can also include magical items (magical watch/bag etc) for your DR or stuff like ‘I don’t get my period in my DR.’ to make your life more easier there.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬

Again, it’s your choice on how to do it. Here I’ll just list some ideas for inspiration.

notion (it’s pretty famous in the shifting community and you can create your own templates and so on)

google docs

paper notebook

canva

pinterest (for pictures and for creating pinboards)

tumblr (I like creating moodboards like this or this )

picrew (for creating characters or scripting appearances)

artbreeder (also for creating faces and for defining your looks)

powerpoint (for making a presentations)

and many more :)

𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞

You don’t need to feel bad for what you script. It’s your choice. You can decide what you want to experience. Just keep in mind that you will really LIVE in that reality you scripted. So, don’t underestimate this and stay safe! <3

I hope this post is helpful to you guys. If you have more questions regarding scripting, I will add it to this post! - Just send me your questions. :)
