buckle up lads bc I’m awake and I’m fuckin mad
so, if you’ve spent 0.0003 seconds in the loki tag, I’m sure you’ve seen thousands of comments about him being an overdramatic diva who has a penchant for making mountains out of molehills. taika himself even described loki as “someone who tries so hard to embody this idea of the tortured artist, this tortured, gothy orphan.”
excuse me, what the fuck?
loki isn’t just some rawr xd theatre kid who’s mad at odin for taking away his club penguin subscription. loki was abused, and I’m frankly sick and fucking tired of people trying to downplay or just straight up gloss over that.
in thor 1, we see that loki has been emotionally and psychologically manipulated. he was told his entire life to despise the very realm that odin had stolen him from. the second he discovers what he is, he realises that he and thor never have been (and will never be) equal in the eyes of the man he once loved and called father.
at the end of that movie, loki feels so abandoned, so alone and hated and ostracised, that he attempts suicide. he is then caught, tortured and mind controlled by thanos, forced into leading an invasion he wanted no real part in, and then is dragged back to asgard where he is told by his abuser that he would have been better off dying as a child surrounded by the corpses of his would-be subjects.
loki is told that the only reason odin isn’t going to slaughter him is because of his mother. when she later dies, he is deliberately excluded from her funeral and has his only chance to say a proper farewell snatched away from him. he is left in a prison cell to slowly be driven and by his own grief and guilt, and this time he has no visitors to distract him from these thoughts.
when thor says “I wish I could trust you”, that’s a direct jab at loki. that’s an attempt to get him to soften and say that it’s okay, he’s forgiven everything that’s been done to him in the past. but loki isn’t stupid. his “ trust my rage” is a warning, a reminder that he is furious at thor, odin and everyone else who turned a blind eye to his torment. the anger is burning him alive from the inside out, and the memory of frigga is the only thing keeping him from striking a match and razing the whole wretched realm down to the ground.
I don’t care that taika put in a single line of odin saying he loves loki. that changes absolutely nothing of what I’ve said above. the cat can whisper the sweetest of praises to the mouse trapped under its paw, but empty words will do nothing to dull the sting of its claws as they sink in.
loki is allowed to be angry. he’s allowed to be upset. he’s allowed to be hurt. he’s allowed to reject an out of character deathbed apology that came more from moral obligation than genuine feelings.
say it with me folks: loki does not have to feign forgiveness for the comfort of others, least of all people like odin who were direct contributors to his suffering.
The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

Being part of the social justice culture or the “stay woke” culture, I usually thought that the main purposes were to:
1) Unlearn what was taught to you
2) Learn what was never taught to you
3) Educate those around you with the knowledge you have
