“Here’s the thing a wise man once said : ‘The opposite of love is not hate, its indifference.’ And Loki is not indifferent to Thor. He hates him. And in order to hate someone, you must still, therefore, love them. So I think there is, somewhere down the line, the possibility of redemption for him, because he is just in real need of self-esteem.”
This is absolutely my favorite thing about how Tom purposely plays Loki. He’s so very aware of how, no matter what way you look at this relationship, Loki canonically revolves around Thor, and it’s visibly obvious.
i can’t believe thor wearing arm guards with loki’s helmet on them in avengers AND thor having a strand of loki’s hair braided into his own hair in age of ultron are both real things that the costume department did and loki in ragnarok still has the gall to ask poor thor “did you mourn me?” like yes loki you made your jock brother so sad that he started accessorizing
@redwoodriver @agent0hio the receipts. the hair I thought at first was jane’s but in other shots it’s 100% black and silky lookin….. like hey marvel? I just wanna talk. i just wanna talk
Um… is anyone else tempted to write a fic about this?
Well, mine was an au, but … love locks
I mean canon-compliant, where Thor cuts a lock of Loki’s hair after he dies to braid it into his. That’s some seriously melodramatic shit.

okay yeah I’m looking closer at these gifs and there’s no way that isn’t loki’s greasy ass black hair it’s too dark to be jane’s…. hey marvel? hey marvel? i just wanna talk about thor having his dead brother’s hair braided into a little plait behind his ear that’s like so much
Over all the millennia only you have ever loved me, Thor. Only you have ever looked at me with affection in place of condescension. Why then, am I killing you, and not the others?
Loki is the Philosopher King
