Thor 2 Loki

The artist is on Tumblr and I found the original post of this artwork, but for some reason I can’t reblog it… I wonder if the artist froze their blog somehow. (It doesn’t say “This post cannot be reblogged,” the reblog button just isn’t a link.)
Well, I tried to picture his emotions through the movies and I came to think that I really don’t like his prince appearance at all because he lacked of character in that time. (Or maybe I just drew him bad)
I think Prince!Loki was very good at keeping his emotions under wraps, which is why his face appears so neutral, even bland. Then after what happened in Jotunheim, his facade pretty decisively cracked (along with some other things).
His face in the second gif.
What’s that sound? Just my heart shattering across the floor.
OK but the thing about this is that I would actually say Loki was at a lower point in the second image than in the first. In the first scene he’s just been physically defeated, but as we see in his response to the Avengers when they apprehend him (“If it’s all the same to you, I’ll have that drink now”), he’s still mentally composed. In the second scene, he’s psychologically defeated, driven by isolation, despair, and self-loathing to escape into illusions of… being someone else, basically.
God damn, that scene still makes me so fucking sad.
