“Sif. Please, Please. No More. Please, I Beg You. I’m A Horrible Person. I Get It. I Really Am.”

Thor, reading a fortune cookie: if you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same

Loki, with a mouth full of takeout: kill two

Ragnarok (Netflix): Laurits "Loki" Seier flirts with men, dresses in gender non-conforming clothes, says he looks like a pretty lady, wears makeup and paints his nails, asks teacher if he thinks Loki is trans, gives birth to the Midgard Serpent, and tells his mom that he doesn't believe in sexuality and gender.

Marvel Loki Miniseries: We made Loki write "fluid" on the sex/gender line of this paper he had to fill out that you probably didn't notice. You're welcome :)

Hey you know that thing you're good at? That thing you think makes you valuable? The way you are, or the thing you do, etc?

You can be and deserve to be and will be loved and cherished even without it.

You're not worthwhile because you help, or you are good at making your art, or your skills at your job. You're worthwhile inherently, as a person, even without all that.

And I want you to internalize that because otherwise there might come a day where you can't do The Thing You Think Makes You Valuable. You'll get sick and can't draw, you'll burn out and can't do your job, you'll be emotionally unable to do your regular helpfulness for whatever reason, and you'll start to feel like you have no worth anymore.

But that's not true. You have worth, you deserve comfort and companionship and happiness, and that's not a conditional thing. You deserve that, even if you can't be Useful and Productive and all that shit.

It's an easy trap to fall into to justify yourself as "well, at least I help/make art/work hard" and have that be entirely too much of your self-esteem. Being proud of your work is fine. Being proud of yourself solely through your productivity is not, because you're making it conditional. And conditional on something that can change for reasons completely outside your control!

You gotta stop thinking about it like you gotta justify the space you take up on the planet. It's great if all those things make you happy: just make sure they're not the only things that make you feel like you are justifying your existence, or you'll crater if they get taken away.

You are lovable and likable and you have value as a person and a member of society, even if you never can be productive again. You are enough.

im ok i just need to see some sunlight shining on water

The scene that hits me the most in season 2 is when Laurtis gets home and Magne is off telling him about how he’s Thor. Laurtis is sooooo out of it.

skdvaskjdla the WAY Magne drags Laurits into the room has me howling every time like akdsvbsajld

imagine you've just verbally murdered someone on an open stage, everyone thinks you're the bees knees bc of this, you're drunk bc everyone kept paying for your alcohol to congratulate you and all you want is to go to bed, sleep in and hopefully not have a hangover tomorrow...

and instead... instead you get your incredibly-buff-all-of-a-sudden-WHEN-did-you-get-so-huge???-brother dragging you into his room by the scruff, like you're a fucking kitten, where he sits you down on his bed and proceeds to tell you the stupidest fucking story you've ever heard, bc apparently your brother is convinced he's fucking THOR now, and like... you're so fuckign drunk, you are FAR FAR too drunk for any of this, WHY are you even talking abt this and why does it have to be NOW???

And then... your brother is like: "I'm gonna kill giants and you need to help me." and like... again... you're too drunk for this only now you're beginning to think that maybe you're not the only one in this room who's a bit out of it, bc like... who the hell comes up with this shit unless they're either drunk or stoned out of their minds???

And THEN; bc the evening isn't weird enough already, your brother suddenly gets weirdly serious and is like: "You're the most important person in my life." and hugs you.

And since you ALREADY deal with emotional moments with the grace and maturity of a twelve year old who has a spider in their hair, even if you're not currently incredibly drunk, you literally just sit there and go: "... Huh?"

Anyway, as sweet as this moment is, I absolute SCREAM laughing every time I watch it bc Magne really couldn't have chosen a worse moment for this entire thing asdhkasvkjdbl

hi sorry i have a question. how do you become a person. how do you develop the will to be a person. i have sadly proven unkillable

you have to be sincere. you have to stop being sad that you haven't been killed and take up the burden of loving yourself and taking care of yourself. and when I say love yourself I mean pretend you are an angel sent down by God for the purpose of loving and healing one specific person, yourself. and when I say take care of yourself I mean pretend you are an alien zookeeper and your only job is to look after a single human being in the Earth enclosure, you. after a few years of practicing this, you will develop the ability to like yourself and enjoy your own company, and you'll know enough about yourself to take it from there. I'm ordering you to do this, whether you have the "will" to do it or not, out of pure self-interest, because five years from now it will have made you good company and I prefer the human world to be populated with good companions. little lanterns against the inhospitable night of the age of Iron.

what are you waiting for? someone to grant you permission? the perfect and permanent emotion? a shooting star to magic away every problem you have or ever have had? alright, wait away then. but no one is going to live your life for you while you wait to become someone else

No you don't understand I need to see him crawling, covered in blood, horrifically injured, and traumatized

Reminder to be gentle with yourself today. You are living and loving the best you can in the position you're currently in. Rest when you need. Tuck yourself in at night. Keep doing what you can.
