You ever think about how "if you were here, I'd hug you"//"I'm here" is effectively the end of Thor and Loki's 6 movie emotional arc of death and conflict and loss and heartbreak and literal apocalypse, like they have to sacrifice their literal planet--

Like, stories are about endings, ultimately. There's the journey, but in a story, the end is the moral point: people get what they work for; people get what they deserve.

Thor and Loki's story was about empire and family and ambition and power and the questions of who they are, in the bigger sense, in the world they inhabit, but also who they are, internally, to themselves and to each other

Thor's story ends in Loki's arms. Loki's story ends in Thor's.

Can I come home, Thor asks in 2011

I'm here, Loki answers in 2017

#thorki's storyline was always explicitly about homes and homecomings #thor1: thor and loki are banished from their home; thor returns; loki does not #avengers1: thor tries to bring loki back to their home; loki does not recognise thor's home as his anymore #thor2: thor cannot feel at home in asgard without loki and leaves; loki returns home but can only remain there as someone else #thor3: neither thor nor loki regard asgard as home anymore but nonetheless conflict over whether or not they have obligations to it;#in the end they realise home is a people not a place; they go home to each other #anyway have some incoherency as I wait for my bus #internal thor tag #thorki
