Valkyrie and the Line of Odin

So in Thor: Ragnarok, on Sakaar. Thor says he and Loki are brothers and Loki repliesĀ ā€œAdoptedā€.

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’sĀ ā€œYou don’t look like himā€ 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.Ā 

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?

BecauseĀ  I can’t sleep anyway:

Valkyrie for what is probably the fifth time in as many days:Ā ā€œBut are you sure he’s not the one who’s adopted?ā€

Thor getting seriously exasperated: ā€œI 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.ā€

*a beat*

Thor:Ā ā€œā€¦ Of course 8 years ago I would have sworn the same thing about Loki.ā€

*Another beat*

Thor:Ā ā€œā€¦ And I would have called myself their firstborn. So I will grant thatĀ ā€œto the best of my knowledgeā€ may not be particularly reliable, but I’m not the one who turns blue.ā€

Loki, from the sideline: ā€œThat can be arranged.ā€ *makes ominous gesture*

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.Ā  Hhhhholy SHIT can I please just … UGH.

I just have a lot of feelings about Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok being a woman character that’s allowed to be a fucking mess at the start and still be aĀ ā€˜good’ character. TheĀ ā€˜drunk as fuck, total mess, still good’ thing is usually reserved for dude characters.Ā 

I have this feeling about Jessica Jones, too. The fact that she’s fucked up, she drinks too much, she has sex for the wrong reasons with the wrong people, she’s got PTSD, she doesn’t want to be a hero, but she IS the hero.

i’m 101% sure that this entire line was improv and tom couldn’t help it

ā€œYeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say,Ā ā€œDo another one, in this one say: ā€˜I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.ā€™ā€ So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.ā€

AMAZING

I choose to beliee every version of this story is true

and is just a different tale of when Loki turned into something ridiculous

and tried to murder his brother

I don’t know what makes this funnier, the idea that Loki kept trying the same prank, or that Thor kept falling for it.

Thor: OH LOOK A PUPPY

Loki: WAAAAUUUGGGHHHHH

Thor: OH NO IT’S YOU AGAIN!
