Disclaimer: This is putting a completely different spin on the probable motivations that coaxed Loki to let go, as well as ignoring the coda after the credits. 

I never meant for it to end like this.

Thor’s face, normally so radiant and full of boisterous emotion, is twisted in an expression of heart-wrenching grief. The fear in his eyes is almost tangible, and Loki feels another pang of guilt for being the cause.

I only wanted the best … for Father … for you.

The thunder god is yelling now, demanding that he hold on long enough for their father god to pull them to safety. But Loki knows that time has already come and gone. It’s too late for him. But not for Thor.

Odinson … that’s your title now. Yours and yours alone.

He smiles, but he knows it only appears as a grimace to the brother he knows he’d still give everything for. Thor shouts at him again, demanding that he not let go. Despite his penchant for brawn over brains, that certainly never made Thor dull-witted. Loki knows he can never truly hide anything from him, especially in moments like this.

Look after them, brother. You will be a great king.

Loki is sure of that now, and the thought twists a blade deep into his heart as he realizes how much it took to force him to come to terms with it. Yes, his actions on Thor’s coronation were done with the good of Asgard in mind, but the following choices quickly spiraled out of control. A single tear falls as he realizes he’ll never see Thor properly crowned. He’ll never see anything beyond this moment. His fingers loosen their hold and he falls.

I love you.

Man’s Best Friend…A 17ft Long 
Pet Crocodile

Chito made friends with the croc after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state’s Parismina river 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death. But Chito enlisted the help of several pals to load the massive reptile into his boat. He says: “When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house. ”He was very skinny, weighing only around 150 lb. I gave him chicken and fish and medicine for six months to help him recover. ”I stayed by Pocho’s side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad. ”It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals - especially ones that have suffered.” He says: “After a decade I started to work with him. At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more. ”Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me.” At one point during his recovery, Chito left the croc in a lake near his house. But as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the water and began to follow him home.

aaaaa so precious ;;

sequel to this

Brother.

The huntsman stumbles and falls against the tree beside him as a thousand images flicker to life before him. Glorious battles, halls of golden spires and tapestries, riding on horseback over a rainbow bridge, the ancient song humming beneath his consciousness from the hammer clutched in his sword hand, a pair of stunning green eyes and an endless expanse of pale skin splayed out beneath him-

He gasps, shoving himself upright again and staring at the horseman.

“Loki,” he growls, right hand clenching into a fist. “What have you done?”

His once-brother snorts, though the amusement has faded from his eyes. Instead, he looks tired. Oddly worn, as though he has been overtaxing his magic.

“I have done nothing,” he snaps, though it lacks his usual venom. “Your precious father decided to cast us onto Midgard to ‘repent for the wrongs dealt between us’. I’ve been trying to find you for over fifty years. Did you never stop to wonder why you never seemed to age despite having lived for so long?”

Thor pauses for a moment, blunt fingernails digging into his palm as he considers his once-brother’s words. He itches to be reunited with Mjolnir, but his immortality has long been stolen from him. She will not answer his call for some time yet.

“I assume you’ve already had time to plan our escape,” he phrases it as a statement rather than a question, knowing Loki would mock him for doubting him in a situation such as this.

Loki cants his head, and Thor notices the shadows beneath the trickster’s eyes for the first time. “We are little better than these pathetic insects,” he answers bitterly. “What am I supposed to do with no link to my magic?”

Thor grinds his teeth, then approaches, carefully laying a hand on the horse’s neck. “We work together,” he says firmly, searching out his once-brother’s eyes. “Combine our efforts and find our way home.”

Loki stares down at him, and for a terrifying moment, Thor imagines that he might say no. But, Loki inclines his head just enough to qualify as a nod, and Thor exhales loudly, letting his temple fall to rest against his once-brother’s thigh.

Perhaps they have a chance after all.

This is for the anon who asked about a Tarrlok song earlier today — YOU BETTER BELIEVE THIS MORNING’S EPISODE DESERVED A SONG. I literally still can’t get over it. I’d better not start thinking about it or I might start hyperventilating all over again.

In any case, as far as villain songs, I thought this one would translate fairly well to the ending… It’s not exactly Disney, but have a Rasputin/Tarrlok mash-up! I hope it doesn’t disappoint — enjoy it, and try not to die in agony while waiting for next week’s episode!

I can’t make any promises that I won’t.

_{In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be —
Of a man who could take all control
Like a puppeteer with a goal —
Then I opened my eyes and my nightmare was me!}

_{I will be the most powerful man in the city
When the Equalists showed up they made a mistake
And if you try to get in my way
Say goodbye to your free will today
Little Korra, beware I will make sure you pay}

_{In the dark of the night, Tarrlok will find her
In the dark of the night, just before dawn
Revenge will be sweet
When the task is complete}

_{In the dark of the night
She’ll be gone!}

_{Yes I know that my powers are strictly forbidden
It’s an art that is sinister, just like a spell
But I just love taking control
I can feel the fear in her soul
To the half-baked Avatar Korra, farewell!}

_{In the dark of the night terror will strike her
In the dark of the night she will be through
This is the end
For the girl and her friends}

_{In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night}

_{In the dark of the night, Tarrlok will find her
In the dark of the night, she will be stopped
My dear, it is time
It’s the end of the line}

_{In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night}

_{We must rule,
Oppress the non-benders;
Why do you decline?
Now you’ll have to
Pay with surrender}

_{In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
Be confined!}

So, I was hanging out at Origins Gaming Convention in Columbus today in my Stormtrooper and I see a little girl dressed up like Korra, in a pretty good costume too.  It’s always cool to see kids in costume, next generation, “parenting you’re doing it right,” all that jazz.  Anyway, I notice that the little girl looking at me in my Stormtrooper.  I tilt my bucket at her inquisitively and then slowly reach my index and pinky fingers up to the lenses on my bucket and then point them at her. 

 

After a second, she gets it and quickly returns the gesture, making the face and everything.

 

I shrug exasperatedly.

And the kid starts to laugh.  She demands her parents come over for a picture with me, and we get one of me pointing my fingers at her.

I ran into them again later and the mom told me I had made her entre day.

That was pretty cool.
