foundlingmother:

I don’t understand why people assume Loki stripped Odin of his powers. Odin says he broke Loki’s spell. What did he break it with if not his own magic? The power of a senior bingo night win? Pudding? His new friend Martha’s dentures? The weight of the enormous expense senior care in the United States is?

And then he just dicks about on Midgard, waiting to die, instead of utilizing Strange’s magic or his own to go back to Asgard. Strange literally says that he chose to stay put. CHOSE. That’s… not on Loki. Why do people continue to say Loki’s in any way at fault for Ragnarok? *buries head in hands*

Pretty obviously, Loki cast the Asgardian version on a Confundus Charm. We know he has some power over memories (which I still think he got through exposure to the Mind Stone). If Odin still had his powers but no memories, for a while he wouldn’t remember how to *use* his powers, but those powers themselves might start to break through the memory spell without his conscious control.

“A King and His Weapon”

@lucianalight I cried when I read this!

#this is literally the last thing you should say to your son who is clearly in the middle of a psychological breakdown #after learning he was adopted from a race he was taught to hate his whole life #and is now hanging over the abyss of space pleading with you to accept the monster he thinks he is #after you went to sleep right in the middle of the big reveal and left him to rule a whole planet #in what is probably the most emotionally crippling state of his life #literally the last thing you should fucking say

Thor: The Dark World prelude #2

Odin confronts Loki.

Ugh this kills me because it looks like up until this point Loki still considered himself Loki Odinson. I think in his mind it was much preferable to be Loki, son of Odin, revered leader of the Nine Realms than Loki, son of Laufey, frost giant and monster.

So basically Odin is not only denouncing him but calling (and confirming in his mind) him a monster as well.

AND ODIN TAKES AWAY HIS MOMMA TOO! Marvel you better not mess with Frigga or I swear I’m gonna flay someone one!

Oh shit… this is the prelude comic that got turned into the first scene of TDW. I don’t think I’d ever actually read it. This version of Odin is so much worse than what we saw in the movie, which was pretty fucking bad.

philosopherking1887:

“After Odin fell into the Sleep, Loki kept going back to the Vault every few hours to stand before the plinth where the Casket of Ancient Winters lay. Like a guilty man returning to the scene of the crime. But what was the crime, he wondered, and whose? Loki’s driving his father past the brink of exhaustion by confronting him with the truth? Or Odin’s abandoning his son when he most needed his father’s guidance? Or was it earlier: the lie he had told Loki for his whole life only to reveal the truth in the wrong way, at the wrong moment, and then escape taking responsibility for the aftermath? …

“He saved my life, Loki reminded himself; I would have died if he hadn’t taken me. But was that even true? Could he believe Odin’s word about anything, now? Was he a rescued castoff or a hostage? … Loki was starved for knowledge, and he knew he would not get it from Odin. Nor could he expect truth from his mother, from Frigga: Odin might well have told her the same lies. No, there was only one person he could ask: Laufey himself. As a king to another king, Laufey owed him the courtesy of truth.”

Posting my giveaway fic for @shine-of-asgard on AO3 in two parts with a bit of a delay, for exposure reasons. (Do you have an AO3 account, so I can list it as a gift?) Prompt: “Loki/Lucifer and Odin/God. Variation of the ‘Lightbringer’ theme where Loki rebels against Odin and tries to steal the Casket of Winters to give it back to the Jotnar. It can follow the ‘biblical’ version with Odin striking Loki down and Loki falling from Asgard or you can spin it any other the way you want. Bonus points for the appearance of Thor as a conflicted good archangel who loves his brother but won’t go against God for him.”

Chapter 2, “Paradise Regained,” has also been posted.
