Sometimes I’m just sitting here minding my own business and then I remember that Thor specifically entrusted Loki with placing Surtur’s crown on the fire to initiate Ragnarok and I tear up a little bit because that’s how you love and support your chaotic neutral sibling.
Thor: I know what’ll cheer you up. 🙂 Loki: What’s that? Thor: You wanna trigger the apocalypse with me for the good of Asgard? Loki: !!!!!!!!
my favorite part is that nobody questioned Loki surviving that experience. Thor sent him in there with the comfortable confidence of Loki’s cockroach-like ability to cause the apocalypse and sneak out before it got bad, Loki didn’t try to pretend that this was dangerous, absolutely nobody ever commented…
I love the idea that Jews are “people of the book,” but I think we need to make a correction.
Jews are the “people of the too damn many books, like holy crap we have the torah, the mishnah, the midrash, the talmud, the commentaries on all those, these scrolls for holidays, the histories and legends of our ancestors, so many dang poems and sayings …”
