So in Thor: Ragnarok, on Sakaar. Thor says he and Loki are brothers and Loki replies “Adopted”.
Let’s assume that got back to Valkyrie, so she knows they’re brother but that they are not blood related. And that is all she knows.
Now let’s further assume that Hela’s “You don’t look like him” had some truth to it and that Thor physically takes after Frigga. Meanwhile, Loki and Hela have the same coloring and general build, And Loki has Odin’s fast-talking.
So what if, not knowing the particular of how Loki and Thor happened to become brothers, she’s assumes Thor is adopted one?
What if she doesn’t learn otherwise until some time into the trek to Earth?
Because I can’t sleep anyway:
Valkyrie for what is probably the fifth time in as many days: “But are you sure he’s not the one who’s adopted?”
Thor getting seriously exasperated: “I solemnly swear on the roots of Yggdrasil that I am, to the best of my knowledge, The blood son of Odin and Frigga of Asgard.”
*a beat*
Thor: “… Of course 8 years ago I would have sworn the same thing about Loki.”
*Another beat*
Thor: “… And I would have called myself their firstborn. So I will grant that “to the best of my knowledge” may not be particularly reliable, but I’m not the one who turns blue.”
Loki, from the sideline: “That can be arranged.” *makes ominous gesture*
okay but the screenwriter for Thor: Ragnarok is obviously intimately aware of what it’s like to have siblings because like…the snake scene? Bickering at every opportunity? Throwing things at each other for no real reason? “You know this guy?” “I have no idea who this person is”? Smirking when your sibling does something cool because ‘nothing but respect for MY sibling’ and then turning around and punching each other in the face right afterward? Stabbing each other for fun and then going ‘oh come on you big baby, that didn’t even hurt’? The fucking ‘Get Help’ scene? Like bruh…that is some Truth in Hollywood right there
In honor of this post reaching 10K notes, I have more examples of Siblinghood Done Right in Ragnarok:
*parent leaves the area* “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!”
“You’re just…the worst.”
*internally* bitch I am the only one that gets to kill my sibling back off!
That little conciliatory pat on the back Loki gives to Thor after Thor says “Jane and I dumped each other”
“I swear I left it right here”
*casually talking to each other about something mundane with the underlying threat of violence everpresent in both of your voices*
casual jibes and banter about the way each other dresses (“Why would I do that? I’m not a witch.” “Then why do you dress like one?”)
“YES! THAT’S WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE!”
but also the concealed worry about your sibling getting actually hurt, even though you know they’ll probably be fine
Loki’s extremely obvious eyerolling when those girls approach Thor in public and ask for a selfie
*sibling walks in while you’re trying to cause trouble and enjoy yourself* “oh shit”

The funniest thing is I imagine Diana and Thor would get along very well, and bond over their dads being the head honchos of the gods. Also lightning and thunder! Diana would probably be like a slightly exasperated big sister to Thor at times. Oh and she can 100% lift Mjolnir and wield Stormbreaker.
and we all know how Thor feels about female warriors. he would think Diana is the absolute coolest
thor ragnarok fight scene but holding out for a hero is playing
I was fluttery and charmed and delighted by one of my fave cheesy songs x Chris Hemsworth the Lightning God, but then Valkyrie came on and I made this involuntary guttural moaning sound and sank into the couch with my legs spread.
Hhhhhhholy shit. Hhhhholy SHIT can I please just … UGH.
