The Finer Things

The tesseract dropped them on Asgard, a short walk from the city.

Thor doesn’t want to look at his brother. It hurts too much. He’s alive, as Thor had wished so many times, but even madder than before. mad and dangerous.

He takes his arm and pulls him toward the palace. Loki’s too good at slipping him mid-flight to risk anything faster.

Loki risists his pull, but not as if he wants to escape. As if-

It doesn’t matter what he wants. It stopped mattering.

But Loki keeps shrinking back, dragging his feet. Thor finally looks at him, scowling, and Loki can barely meet his eyes. He just pulls them back.

Thor clenches his jaw, and marches forward. He’ll drag Loki, if he has to.

Loki’s hands shoot out, touch Thor’s side, and Thor can almost feel his words. ‘Wait wait wait!’

Thor looks back at him again. Loki gestures for the muzzle to come off.

Thor turns away.

Loki jerks back hard, and even tries to trip Thor.

Thor snarls at him, and Loki gestures for him to take the muzzle off. A princely, imperial demand.

Well. No reason not to, here. Thor sighs, and complies.

“What?”

Loki takes his time, stretching his jaw, and breathing deep, trying to be irritating. But Thor can see that embarrassment that hides around his eyes when he has to ask for something.

“Can we just… walk slowly?”

Thor frowns. “Are you hurt?”

“No. I…. Can we?” He looks up, and closes his eyes, and for just a moment looks peaceful. “There was no sun there. There won’t be any sun wherever your father sends me. Please.”

No sun.

Thor watches him a long moment.

No sun.

They walk back very, very slowly.

This scene to me is maybe Loki’s most tragic moment in the movies. Because it’s one of the few times we see Loki entirely alone, not putting on a show or lying to anyone, so his panic and heartbreak are real.  And he reaches out to Odin – and it’s the reaching out that gets me, that moment where Loki hesitates to touch him – and then he when does dare touch, he almost immediately pulls his hand away, and maybe it’s just shock, but also – Loki was just holding the Casket, has just found out what he is; and he knows what a frost giant’s touch does to Aesir.  He’s scared to touch his father, scared that he might freeze him, hurt him further.

(The original script had him holding Odin, but this – this says so much about Loki, about what scares him, how frightened he is of his own self, and what damage he can do…)

YES.

the moment when the whole movie theatre gasped.

Loki loved his mother so much he acknowledged himself as Jotun — the unclean truth inside him that he’s been trying desperately to disprove and scrub out since the moment he first discovered it and lost his sanity — so that he could avenge her death.

If that doesn’t make you hurt inside, you have no soul.

I’m editing to add this: You can see him suck in a breath after he says “Jotunheim” as though it physically pained him to say that word. Ugh. I’m going to have Loki feels all day now.
