when i realised the reason loki is so good at manipulating thor could well be that he's been taught how to do it, likely by frigga whose own job is "talk the king down and/or egg him on"
#i'm not saying she taught him to be a queen/consort except yes i am saying that aren't i?#i mean he must have been taught king things *as well* in case thor just died or whatever#but assuming thor survives to be king loki's job is definitely intended as an extra rudder on the ship of state.#(pls excuse my poor use of established metaphors)#i want to be clear i also think it'd work the other way round#but in this instance they never taught thor the manipulation/influencing stuff because he's the oldest.#(let's just go with asgard using primogeniture for now so we don't have extra things to worry about)#anyway this is a concept i've never really managed to get into fic#(other than a bit in 'heir and a spare (extended version)' but nobody's reading that fic for what it says in the tin are they?#they'd click on that for the e rating and maybe cos they have an adultery kink. and i respect that obviously.)#(but there was this one paragraph i kept moving...)#anyway the point is i've read too many books on queenship and it's starting to show isn't it?#and i'm also really into fratrcide of course.#relatedly: fandom's idea that thor's the 'warrior-king' asgard needs yet also feeble loki would be better at it.#so do they need a warrior-king or not? does anyone understand what that does and doesn't mean?#i mean it's okay the films clearly don't either but some of you aren't weirdly into the european medieval period and it shows.#i've seen *one* 'thing' joke and *zero* 'cnut' jokes#and what else are medieval scandinavians even for? it's not all raiding lindisfarne you know! they probably do other things too!#(i know they did i am just being silly for the lols)#anyway this is why loki has that 'grand vizier energy' that we're still looking for a less orientalist term for.#thor movies#brodinsons (brodin...wives??)
