#HC that Loki's plan to touch the casket to either prove he's a frost giant or severely hurt himself in the process of disproving it is a go #i still think about how Loki seemed passively suicidal before the rest of Thor 1 went down #idk man #something something what would've happened if Loki wasn't jotun and touched the casket #you don't casually call a box of power the heart of a realm #and it clearly isn't contained completely if touching it makes Loki's skin fade to blue #Loki as a kid accidentally discovering he's a frost giant by touching it and there being no hurtful reaction is fine #but Loki being grown and aware of the risk and still going for it just hits different #Loki internal monologue: either this'll kill me or prove i'm a frost giant so same result either way really #also #there's something so <3 about Loki looking over his hands in the scene before and then reaching out but not touching Odin after the vault #alienate your own hands why don't ya #motifs and metaphors methinks
