Description

"Why? Because I- I'm the monster parents tell their children about at night?"

I find this scene is completely heartbreaking. Loki's whole world is shattered, falling apart around him. All the doubts and fears of his whole life are coming true - he is different, and he wasn't imagining it: Odin does favor Thor.

I'm not saying that I condone trying to kill an entire race because you didn't get enough hugs growing up, but I can't help but feel for the guy. Growing up in the shadow of a sibling sucks. You feel second-rate. You feel forgotten. It's not even the parent's fault; I believe that Odin really did love Loki like a son, and tried his best to raise them both as the kings they were both meant to be, but things still happen. (Loki is the kind of person to take all slights, real or imagined, and just let them fester. So every little thing that Odin did to show Thor love became a splinter of glass working its way deeper and deeper.)
Anyway, don't judge me for my Loki feels (I'll stop there before I make a complete fool of myself). I'm just upset that I wasn't able to properly convey all the pain and confusion that Tom Hiddleston so masterfully brought to his portrayal of Loki.

EDIT: I worked on it a bit more. Made the shading just a touch darker, and tried to fix his nose a bit. *shrug*
