Hmn. Loki's lattice reminds me of...I don't know if it was real, or fiction, but in a show there was a man being tried for murder, and it turned out that he had a tumor on his adrenal gland. So the guy was getting smacked with random jolts of Fight or Flight hormones. There was some debate if he should be let off or not, and I forget how it went

The way I was going at it with the "kill him" line wasn't that deep down Thor wanted to kill Loki (he doesn't), but Loki thinking that the final step to make Thor ready to be king was the acceptance of personal sacrifice. Both Loki's and Thor's, because even if he is an object to Thor, he is still Thor's object and wants to think that might mean something. Even though Thor was terrible to him, Loki is clearly valuable (whether it's the giving Thor a reason to stay on Midgard, saving his life/helping him a multitude of times during childhood/teenage years, being his 'brother,' or any other of the many reasons that come to mind).

Thor has a serious compartimentalization problem, and I am SO looking forward to your meditations upon and exploration of Worthiness.
Also, very very sorry for my tardy replies, my depression has been acting up badly recently and it makes it difficult to martial my resources to DO.
I'm sorry you're not in a good place right now. I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I know that's not how depression works.
And don't feel bad about your responses. If you thought that than so did someone else and it gives me the chance to put into words information that (as proven here) all readers didn't pick up on. That clarification is helpful and you force me to do it (so thank you).
