Why are there all these Thorki shippers who apparently don’t like Loki, and just think he’s a no-good lying self-deceiving butthurt pissbaby drama queen who has no legitimate grievances against anyone and just likes killing people for no reason? Look, I’m not one of the Loki apologists who claim that he’s never done anything wrong or screams “abuse!” every time Thor so much as lifts a finger toward him. Anyone who reads my blog (or my fic!) knows that. But I also think Loki has some genuine reasons for complaint about his treatment in Asgard, and it does an injustice to the interest and complexity of his character to ignore them.

Nuance, people. It’s possible to rebut the apologists without careening to the opposite pole and completely tarring Loki’s character. Anyway, if Thor is such a flawless angel (as such people tend to claim, once more eliding nuance in their rush to take the polar opposite position from their adversaries), why would you ship him with Loki if he’s as much of a piece of shit as you make out?

@foundlingmother, you’ll understand what I’m vagueblogging (vaguebitching) about.

It upsets me that his first instinct, even in literal combat scenarios, is to not fight, and how violently everyone reacts to him.

He tries to be diplomatic before engaging in physical combat. Unfortunately for him it doesn’t usually work, but that does not stop him from trying again next time.
This is what makes him worthy.

I feel like this bit of his character always gets left out in discussions a lot.

Poor Thor really just needs some hugs. Everyone around him is nuts.

You know, I never noticed this, and so this JUST got pulled out of my ass– but, like, in the first movie the thing that got him in trouble was that he was so easy to be manipulated into a fight.  So…. like, he learned his lesson.
