- I remember hanging around with Thor a lot as a child, later to split off from him as he became more and more of a warrior. I’d often spend days with mother, reading. I remember her checking on me quite a bit to remind me to eat and sleep, and she would tie back my hair for me if I was so invested in my studies that I’d forgotten to do even that.
- I don’t know if the events of the Avengers movie happened for me or not- I know I was imprisoned on Asgard, but I don’t know if it was for those particular crimes. I do know, whatever happened, I cared very much for Thor despite everything. He’d always been a good brother, even as we drifted apart as teens.
- I was devastated by my mother’s death- at that point I was convinced she was the only one of my adopted “family” that I cared for. I did despise Odin, genuinely, for concealing my true nature from me and for favoring Thor so greatly. I was and am very petty by nature, and at the time (and following my mother’s death especially) was dealing with quite a lot, as I felt even my mother was separating from me in preparation for Thor taking the throne.
- At no point did I really intend to harm Thor (at least not gravely), and was always genuinely pleased to see him alive and well. I became especially destructive and risky after after my imprisonment, and so… did genuinely hope I might die, though I was grateful Thor saved me and was happy to be able to continue playing games.
- I’m unsure quite how I got to reside with the Grandmaster but I do know we were rather close. I’m not sure what the true nature of our relationship was, but he was affectionate towards me, never cruel.
- Sitting with Odin on Midgard was strange. Part of me still despised him, and I suppose part of me always will, but in those moments he felt much more than a real person than he ever had. To me, he’d always been some untouchable figurehead, not a parent. That was the first time I’d ever seen him as a father, and it hurt. I could never forgive him, but I stopped wholly hating him.
- Getting to repair my relationship with Thor during those events was a huge relief. I felt much better about everything knowing my brother didn’t despise me- or rather, that he hadn’t forgotten I existed.
