tbh the fact that they did in fact have a frost giant on the throne of asgard has made extra sceptical about a lot of this fandom's meta. i know i seem like (am) a bitch about things but i do try to see the point someone is trying to argue. okay maybe loki did try and talk thor out of going to jotunheim. maybe he didn't usually get to go on these little murder-sprees because of the social isolation of being terribly important. maybe thor and loki both started out as anti-imperialist commies. maybe they really were allergic to the solid gold palace they grew up in.

but no, i can do that less now. i just think "well, given that nobody had in several hundred years bothered to try and avoid the otherwise quite likely having of a frost giant on the etc etc, i have my doubts about this thing that character said too and how you, oh fellow traveller in fandom, have interpreted it."

#also none of you know how monarchies work and that's increasingly hard for me to keep pretending i haven't noticed.#for instance i never saw anyone mention that the 'imagined slights' bar of a prince is not where ours would be?#because it would include “this person didn't bow low enough when they met me” and shit like that wouldn't it?#especially in the context of “i am so oppressed by being only the second most important person on this flat planet”#the frost giant reveal is partly NOT about the facts of the matter so much as about this *would* explain any of those slights.#even though nobody else seems to know. but it makes sense in the lad's confused little mind in that moment doesn't it?#they somehow knew and every worry is now objectively true and also worse than it was before because now he thinks he deserves it D:#even the 'odin had a secret evil plan' thing might for all we know be based on one incident where he didn't spot his frosty son in a crowd #which OF COURSE meant he was shunning him and it made no sense at the time but now? oh now it does! (it does not. it never really happened.
