like, heimdall saw that shit right? odin comes back through the bifrost and heimdall is just “…………….”
heimdall: that’s a baby
odin: yes! he’s my son! ………..loki. i’m going to dress him in green and black, because that worked great last time
or odin comes back and is trying to figure out, how to play it, and heimdall and frigga are just waiting for him and completely deadpan
frigga: ah, husband! you have returned from war in time to meet your newborn son. who i had. after being pregnant. secretly.
odin: what
frigga:
heimdall:
loki: *baby noises*
odin: right
honestly, i just need heimdall going up to frigga like “you won’t believe what your husband just did”
odin: he’s a replacement for the child I had to lock away in the shadow realm.
heimdall:
odin: I’ll do better by this one. I know I will.
heimdall:
heimdall: You mean Frigga will.
Odin: Please can we keep it? It’s cute and changes colours and smiles at my empty eye socket. I promise I’ll take care of it I’ll feed it every week and I’ll dress it in green and black and I’ll teach it to throw knives and it will be great!
Heimdall: Frigga, he stole a baby. Say something.
THIS IS THE BEST THING
I like to imagine Frigga visiting Heimdall and they have tea and gossip about how much a mess Odin is.
Hiemdall: *plopping into Friggas parlour and already reaching for the cup Frigga is passing him* Lemme tell you what wild shit your sons are doing in Alfhiem
Hiemdall rollerblading into the throne room this week with sunglasses and a piña coloda: Your Majesty, you’re not going to fucking believe this stuff your son brought back from Midgard.
Frigga, iceskating down the bifrost with three bottles of tequila wearing a mini cape from a midgardian children’s dracula costume: Heimdall, my good bitch, I have news.
“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.” – Tom Hiddleston
^I found that pic, and the quote in two different places, so I’m not sure which is correct (or, given internet sources, whether it’s Tom Hiddleston’s quote at all) but it’s a powerful statement, whoever said it.
The opposite of love is not hate, its indifference.
I’m calling on the Thorki fandom, what do you make of this quote? Agree? Disagree?
Aw, thanks! Re: the braided hair, I think there’s some fanon about the braids symbolizing smtg, too. Can’t find it. But hair in general was a big deal… CONVENIENTLY I just saw this post with this comment on it:
See the thing is in Norse culture long hair was a sign of status. When the vikings brought back slaves they would cut their hair off. It was a symbolic loss of freedom. For Thor, royalty, the crown prince to have his hair cut off it was a sign of loss and humiliation.
That person might know more about the meaning behind braids specifically in Norse culture, and is invited to comment on this post 😀
To make this a VC-related answer too bc you know I can’t help myself… Claudia is shown with her hair up when she is trying to look more like the adult she is inside, and cutting it won’t do in movie!IWTV bc it would instantly grow back.
[X I went to the trouble of giffing out FOUR clips for this memeything it behooves you to at LEAST check it out]
BUT ANYWAY I loved Ragnarok! All the not-Thor characters were great, too. The Grandmaster, Valkyrie, HELA OMG, Hulk, LOKI, Heimdall! So much humor and a lot of heart. Of course, as a child of the 80s the film spoke to me aesthetically, too.
The Thor fandom ppl are some of the kindest and most welcoming fandom ppl I’ve met on this site! I could never abandon my VC ppl but… Thor… *dreamy sigh*
