Old me during a thunderstorm; Not...entirely...comfortable...
Me, now, during a thunderstorm;
You know, I'm 1500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that. And every one of them would have rather killed me than not succeeded. I'm only alive because fate wants me alive. Thanos is just the latest of a long line of bastards, and he'll be the latest to feel my vengeance - fate wills it so.
I assure you brother, the sun will shine on us again.

"Thor... Where are you going?" Loki complained as he felt the mattress shift, his eyes and voice still heavy with sleep.
"Just gonna take a breather out in the garden, love." Thor assured Loki as he bent down to kiss his brother gently on the lips before entering the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"Hey, since you're up, would you mind going out to get some more chia seeds and almond milk at that organic food store we like? We're all fresh out." Loki murmured under the sheets before Thor could step out into their minimalist green space outside their bedroom.
Thor chuckled softly to himself as he checked his reflection in the bathroom mirror and assessing his long and golden dreadlocks which were wrapped into a thick and neat bundle. "Sure, Loki. Anything else you need?"
"Mmmm... Coffee and those whole wheat bagels too, please? From the usual place, of course."
"Anything for you, love."
"Thanks, Thor."
And with a minty fresh kiss for the road, Thor bid his brother goodbye and soaked up a few rays of the early morning sun in their garden for a few minutes before dressing up and taking his bicycle out for a breakfast and grocery run into the city.

WHY THOR “GOD OF THUNDER” ODINSON AND PETER “STAR-LORD” QUILL ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.
Oh, what’s that?
You DON’T ship Thor and Star-Lord together even after seeing their brief but already iconic crossing of paths in Avengers: Infinity War?
Well, friend... Let me break it down for you.
Yeah, we all know for a fact that most people in fandoms typically ship opposite characters together because opposites attract and all that jazz.
Been there, done that. NEXT!
But here’s the thing: not ALL relationships—fictional or otherwise—should necessarily pair up people with contrasting qualities. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a card-carrying member of several ships whose pairings are diametrically opposed to each other. In fact, certain pairings can be formed by bringing together two characters who have a lot in common.
Like ThorQuill, for example.
Aside from their obvious physical similarities (hello, cosmic beefcake dudes!) and being a key member of their respective superhero teams (the Avengers and the Guardians), Thor Odinson and Peter Jason Quill have a lot of things in common exhibited in the MCU canon that would make them gravitate towards each other and bond over their similar experiences despite their awkward first encounter—err, macho posturing—during the events of Infinity War.
Don’t believe me? Well, friend, if you lasted this long with my defense of ThorQuill, I present to you the following evidence below:
EXHIBIT A: They both had charismatic but ultimately problematic fathers who have kept dangerous and dark secrets from them.
Thor had Odin who pretty much peaced out from existence when he and Loki tracked him down and had him deal with surprise big sister Hela who wanted to fuck shit up after being imprisoned for centuries.
Quill had Ego who seemed okay at first, but then there was that whole thing with Ego deliberately killing Peter’s mom as well as murdering all the failed offspring from his intergalactic sex conquests.
EXHIBIT B: They both had objects of priceless/sentimental value of their possession destroyed at the hands of their psychopathic family members.
RIP Mew-mew. It was nice knowing you.
Ugh, it still hurts!
EXHIBIT C: They have managed to showcase a mean and visually explosive power punch when they channeled all their powers to beat their opponents into defeat/submission.
Hulk, I love you, but let’s be real: we all know Thor won this one.
A+++ for Quill’s epic Pac-Man transformation and giving us all nostalgic life.
EXHIBIT D: They have both endured and withstood immense physical pain in order to save the day from megalomaniac antagonists.
Don’t tell me Thor’s badass sacrificial act at Nidavellir in order to create Stormbreaker didn’t make you wet your undies.
And friendly reminder that Quill actually HELD an Infinity Stone in the palm of his bare hand (no Infinity Gauntlet for him, thanks!) and lived to tell the tale.
So yeah, I could go on about why these two are definitively meant for each other, but I’ll leave it here for now.
Even with their limited amount of screen time together (so far), I firmly stand with those who were instantly on board with the SS ThorQuill.
Thank you and have a great day!

The Bromosexual Saga of Thor Odinson and Peter Jason Quill • Part 01
Men are expected to be very strong creatures who shouldn’t cry; who are expected to just “man up” and deal with whatever comes their way. However, crying is a healthy and necessary thing for all people — including men. Crying can help to release stress hormones and toxins from the body and aid in soothing certain emotions. So many associate crying with pain or hurt, and sometimes crying is not to show those emotions at all but to show sincerity and honesty.
