i forgot that loki faked his death in the first thor movie as well as the second one. like i think this is just something he does. i bet he did it every other week when they were kids like theyre 12 and loki breaks some fancy asgardian vase in the course of a prank and hes just like welp i guess i better fake my death
corrollary: even at the peak of his Faking His Death phase when both frigga and odin have just learned to take in stride thor still 100% believes it every single time it happens like its literally every other weekend he comes running into his parents room in tears like FATHER, MOTHER, LOKIS DEAD, IM THE WORST BROTHER EVER and they just look at each other tiredly and wait for heimdall to come and tell them where hes hiding this time
he learned it from his dad Mr Odinsleep
U kno what that’s fair
The fact that the Asgardian people didn’t seem to care when Odin turned out to be Loki in #3 makes much more sense
life is rough but consider how lucky we are that 2012 loki fangirl culture & 2012 ‘stalking and filming the peter pan face character at disneyland’ culture didn’t occur coterminously with the disneyland Loki being a hot dude. think of the storm we’ve missed, and be grateful.
this is a man who would have been ripped to shreds by the same internet culture that was at the time really down to fuck the Onceler. look at his eyebrows. he wouldn’t have stood a goddamn chance.
