and YES, Odin went on the worst path about how to tell Loki about his true parentage LOL

Yes!  I was adopted also -- though in my case I was told very young and didn't have a problem with it.  Sadly, I know people who found out relatively late in life and were deeply hurt by the years of deliberate deception.  And in Loki's case, it's even worse, because he was raised to actively despise and fear his own race, which would only intensify the shock and hurt and soul-deep pain.  *pets Loki*

Oh my, that's awesome!
And same here: since I had self-consciousness my mom always told me that "we were bonded by heart" (or something like it). So no problem here (even though I don't like to bring this up when she's around because I feel like she's scared that I will love her less because of it... and that makes no sense at all )

"because he was raised to actively despise and fear his own race" - exactly! Odin always KNEW what Loki was and yet, all he has done was telling Loki (and Thor) that frost giants are bad... like, wth Odin, what's your problem LOL

Also, can I say how happy I am right now? Thanks for sharing it with me. You always leave nice comments and now I feel like we are soul bonded or smt LOL

Soul-bonded!  *HUGS*   

In my case, I was told so early that I don't really remember BEING told; I've just always known, and it's never bothered me.  My brother did have some anxieties over it for a while, primarily because some of the kids at school used to torment him about it.  (Jerks!)  But, like you, I generally don't talk about it with my parents around, since my mother, especially, is a bit sensitive on the subject. 

I like your mother's phrase: Bonded by heart.  That's beautiful.  And really, blood ties are so unimportant when it comes to love.

On the Marvel front, Odin and his favoritism aggravate me SO much, especially since Loki seems to have been little more to him than a means to a political end, and Odin clearly didn't care how much Loki was going to be hurt by the truth when it came out.  I like to believe that Frigga truly did love Loki, but she still let her husband's terrible decisions stand....

Kids are the worst They are usually mean with things that are "unusual" 

"And really, blood ties are so unimportant when it comes to love" - exactly, love knows no bounds

Oh, let's not even start talking about Frigga
She did the best she could to show Loki how much he was loved. I wish we had more interaction between both in the movies. That scene that she asks if she's not his mother and Loki says "You're not" breaks my heart every time. And then she dies

Yes, that scene with Frigga and Loki in his cell is heartbreaking, indeed.  It's a pity it wasn't Odin who got killed in that movie, rather than Frigga.  Think of all the things that could have gone differently....
