No because he will

That's why, as much as I hate the Loki show season finale, as much as I loathe it, it was so tragically in character for him. He views himself as an expendable commodity, either ever since the Vault Scene where Odin tells him I Only Picked You Up Because I Thought I Could Use You Whoops You're Actually Useless To Me :) or just ever since he was a little kid.

A Dad who thinks that way about his child will treat the child that way.

Pair that with low self esteem and a dear little death wish he's most likely been casually nurturing for years, of course this idiot (/affectionate) will jump at the chance to kill himself and not be spurned for it. Cough I mean uh Nobly Give His Life In Service Of Those He Loves And/Or A Cause Worth Dying For.

Yeah... That sure is convincing.

He longs for recognition, for love, and for someone to find him useful, even if he dies in the process and it's quite quite disheartening.

MCU rule number 345671: never leave Loki unsupervised, he can and will sacrifice himself

FYI

Since we all need some good news today

Amendment 3 and Proposition A both passed!!!

Someone also mentioned the amendment banning Ranked Choice Voting and I'm afraid to say that one also went through however! Abortion rights and worker's rights win for Missouri!

If you live in Missouri, PLEASE! i beg of you! Go vote.

You may think we are a very red state, so it does not matter. But it does.

But there is amendment 3!!!!!!!!

Go fucking vote and end this abortion ban.

Find your location to vote. If you have to, tell your work you need to vote on the way to work or take the day off, even if it means you will skip a few meals. Skip dinner with family if you have to.

Just do whatever you have to do! Just fucking vote!!!!! It's one time that can change a lot.

Here in Missouri, the ban is harsh ......you can not get one even for rape or incest!

VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT 3!

I rarely ask this, but please reblog this!

So done with all the defeatism nonsense. Life keeps going. My girlfriend has her first job interview later this morning. I’ve got to fold my laundry. My friends and I have a d&d session later this week. We’re still going. You’ll keep going. I’ll drag your asses into the future kicking and screaming because they want you to lay down and die. And I’ll be damned if any of us do what they want.

Not only is he the patron god of mead if I recall correctly he doesn't eat.

He gives his food to his wolves and can subsist solely off of wine. He's sitting on his metaphorical porch that connects to his glass house out here

Johnny Eck was a performer from the 1930s who was born without any legs:

He's primarily known for appearing in the 1932 cult classic Freaks directed by Tod Browning.

However what I'm mostly obsessed with is this account of a magic trick he did with his non-disabled twin brother (text under the cut)

Like this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine

Wikipedia screenshot:

"In 1937, Eck and Robert were recruited by the illusionist and hypnotist Rajah Raboid, for his "Miracles of 1937" show. In it they performed a magic feat that amazed audiences. Raboid performed the traditional sawing-a-man-in-half illusion, except with an unexpected twist. At first Robert would pretend to be a member of the audience and heckle the illusionist during his routine, resulting in Robert being called on stage to be sawed in half himself. During the illusion, Robert would then be switched with his twin brother Eck, who played the top half of his body, and a dwarf who played the bottom half, concealed in specially-built pant legs. After seeming to have been sawn off, the legs would suddenly get up and start running away, prompting Eck to jump off the table and start chasing them around the stage, screaming, "Come back!" "I want my legs back!" Sometimes he even chased the legs into the audience. The subsequent reaction was amazing – people would scream and sometimes even flee the theater in terror. As Eck described it, "The men were more frightened than the women – the women couldn't move because the men were walking across their laps, headed for the exit." The act provided the perfect jolt by frightening people at first but then caused just as much laughter and applause. The illusion would end with stage hands plucking up Eck and setting him atop "his" legs and then twirling him off-stage to be replaced by his twin Robert, who would then loudly threaten to sue Raboid and storm out of the theater. Their act was so popular that they played to packed audiences up and down the East Coast."

This is one of the main reasons I hc Thor as asexual.

That and projection, I need more ace jock representation, but smth about a culture clearly full of comphet and pressure to provide an heir for the throne of Asgard and a deeply internalized insecurity along the lines of "ah yes the only thing I can contribute to society is my body, whether because of good looks or exceptional brawn" paired with "actually I have no desire to engage with sexual activities" despite feeling like he has to for political or societal reasons

Quite an appealing duality to me.

It never really occurs to ppl that Thor could be ace and to me that is why he must be: because Brodinsons subvert expectations. It's their whole thing.

I want more Insecure Thor in fics btw. I want more people to pick apart his envy about the fact his brother can do magic and he can't (which obviously means that in almost any sparring match Loki has let Thor win and so beating him is no real victory). I want people to run with the 'Loki's a clever bookworm' fanon and bring it round to 'Thor's aware that he is not seen as the smarter of the siblings and that nobody ever says he could probably power-behind-the-throne his brother's kingdom without much effort.'

All Thor has are his muscles and his long flaxen hair. He's blond but they live in fucking Space Norway so that's not even unusual and exotic. If he stops working out for one day he will become a weak and powerless baby, unable to defend those he loves or to impress hot young people of his preferred gender or genders. He's getting the best job on the planet but only because he's his dad's oldest child [citation needed]. If he did want to do something else then he's a terrible ungrateful burden on his family, having lost the only appeal he could hold for them by abandoning the destiny they've decided he deserves.

His brother hates him now and Thor was on another fucking planet when he did whatever he did which means he causes problems even when dad's banished him for causing problems. Why was he not there with his massive biceps when their mum was getting killed in a fight? Why didn't he pop in to check if dad was still dad or being impersonated by the aforementioned angry brother? Or look up that citation on being the oldest child? Why did he not check if Loki had brought that fucking glowy cube with him? Why did he not just kill Thanos when he had the chance?

Bad Thor! Stupid Thor! Useless, ungrateful Thor, made of nothing but muscle and smile and flowing hair that covers an empty head 😭

all the “peer pressure is bad” education we give kids is practically useless because all it cares about is telling them that Drugs Are Evil rather than the much more useful lesson of ‘the person who responds to you saying you don’t drink by telling you they’ll find a way to get you to is also going to be shitty about all your other boundaries’.
