Think not of yourself, not of your pain. Loki is as Loki does. — The Mighty Thor #20 (2012)

Just let it go or you’d get stuck.

“Then why didn’t you show it?”

thor: its probably best we never see each other again

loki, on the verge of tears: yep right just what i was about to suggest

Zeno’s Paradox – Philosopher_King – Thor (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

philosopherking1887:

“It’s not the words ‘I’m here’ that tell him; those are late to the party. It’s the faint clap of the bottle stopper hitting the palm of Loki’s hand, then the softer echo of his fingers closing around it.

“Thor doesn’t even know whether he’s surprised or not; he can hardly tell what he feels. But he is a god and a king and a man of his word, so he opens his arms.”

Jumping on the post-Ragnarok hug fic bandwagon with you, @incredifishface and @raven-brings-light… and I’ve kept it gen for now, too. Gotta get the feelings out of my system first.

How did the philosophy reference get in there, you may ask? I dunno, man. These things just happen.

for a moment I was really afraid about that Zeno’s paradox, because I happened to remember this one, and i thought OH NAY YOU DOTH NOT!

i need you to make them sit down and talk for hours about their Odin and Hela feels and thoughts for 40k words YOU HEAR?!? GET TO IT!!

(sorry was that too bossy. I just get excited you see)

Well, I did actually have them talk about their Odin feels quite extensively in a fic that’s no longer canon-compliant… I guess I just can’t resist the hugging and crying. (And a lot of what they say is still current, except for my clearly incorrect Hela-related speculation about how Loki got off Svartalfheim alive.)

Everybody knows the deal fell through

thorloptrs:

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh tell me, we both matter, don’t we?

Thanks to this heartbreaking fanvid, I can never hear that song without thinking about Thor and Loki. Thanks a lot, fandom.

Feeling is hard.

“That’s what you always wanted.”

I for one am SO glad Taika mood whiplashed the LIVING HELL out of this scene. The feels still nearly killed me anyway.

It even makes the comedy bittersweet, though. They follow “I thought you’d be fighting by my side forever” with a demonstration of how long they’d been fighting side by side before everything went to hell. It’s sort of a “one more for old times’ sake” moment.
