#what im saying is id be amazed if asgard had never revolted against its monarchy. like really? not even once?

[thorarms]

Im so enamored with rural asgard. The farms and villages on the outskirts of the city. The small coastal settlements around the edge of the land. The mining towns near the mountains. The palace a distant golden mountain that shines too brightly and casts far too long a shadow.

#genuinely i think if i lived in a small town run by a monarch that lived inside a giant golden mountain#that shines so brightly in the sun it could blind you. that you can never stop seeing because it was built higher than any mountain#at the very least i would not be too fond of his arrogant blond son#what im saying is id be amazed if asgard had never revolted against its monarchy. like really? not even once?

My preferred headcanon for the absence of revolts is the combination of Heimdall and an extremely easy immigration process. So all the displeased (a) cannot properly organize without being immediately wiped-out and achieving nothing and (b) have an opportunity to leave without too many problem and not stir the pot.

(I headcanon Xandar as having a thriving community of Aesir immigrants.)

Of course that requires using Bifrost, but I can see Odin agreeing to that. Maybe throwing in some stupid "you can leave but you can never return" rules.

that and rewriting history
