Don't Ever Interrupt Loki . . .

. . . while he's reading a book.

song by Julian Smith]

So don't tap on the glass, Thor. It annoys the inmate.

Thor and Books

[by enjyoujipolka]

It was always a struggle to get Thor to study in school. Reading didn't suit his extroverted nature. Loki was the avid student and reader when they were kids, not Thor. He always preferred doing something -- anything -- else.

As adults, the situation is no different. Loki may appreciate a book at bedtime but Thor prefers scrolling on his cellphone.

Thor won't even pick up a damn newspaper.

Loki Loves Books

[by mistyautumn]

It suits Loki's introverted nature to be an avid reader. Besides, reading helps to pass a few eons down in the dungeons of Asgard.

I love the reading scene from Thor: The Dark World. There's something just so funny about the God of Chaos being the silent, still point of calm while mayhem breaks out all around him in the prison.

Loki has lots of good advice to impart about the joys of reading.

Codependence Exhibit C: "No, Loki . . . No."

Thor can't ever quit Loki, even when Loki wants him to.

It's "Brokeback Mountain" all over again, but with magic, superpowers and nicer clothes.

Codependence Exhibit B: "Over and Over"

“For all the wretchedness of your past lives, I cannot imagine my present life without you. I brought you back and sought you out to bring you home."

Codependence Exhibit A: "I Forgive You"

“If you were dying, if you’d been murdered, in your very last few seconds: what would you say?” / “I forgive you."

Love? or Codependence?

“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.”— Franz Kafka

[by thorodnson]

Kafka had it wrong. That kind of self-destructive self-torture is not love, it is codependence. What codependence really means is relationship addiction. And Thor has it. Has it bad. As evidence, the following three exhibits are presented for your consideration . . . .

Why Does Thor Never Learn?

[by daefics]

Thor seems to have an infinite capacity for love and forgiveness where Loki is concerned. Why is that?

[by fortuitous-flake]

More than Thor just being a fool for love, though, isn't there something kind of self-destructive about his endless capacity for angst, betrayal and heartbreak? Why can't Thor ever seem to get over Loki?

Loki versus Captain America

The confrontation of the God and the Soldier is a major battle between treachery and honour, the old world and the new.

[by Rodney Fuentebella]

Loki appears to be more of a match than Captain America bargained for.

[found at Cheezburger]

But still, the Captain does not kneel. At least, "not today."

It seems, though, that Loki is actually a little jealous of Cap. He's one of Thor's new friends so Loki tries both to ursurp his place and to mock him at the same time.

They Grow Up So Fast

It just seems like yesterday that Fenrir was a little wolf pup.

And now here he is, all grown up and slavering.

The next thing you know, he'll be chewing on Odin.

Redemption

In Stan's Bar of Marvel villains, Loki is front and centre.

But does this have to be?

"He's Mine"

Oh, don't worry -- rivals at cross-purposes Thor and Loki may be, but they are still hot for each other.

[by y-diculous]

They're at it constantly, like rabbits. And of course, you know what happens each and every time Thor cums . . .

Asgard hasn't had nice weather in eons and it's all Loki's fault.

The Boys are Back!

And still just as opposite in nature as ever . . .
