Here be another drabble. :) It is a weird drabble but bear with it. :)

Here's the thing about gods:

They aren't immortal, they can die and they quite often do.

They are all strength and anger and fight and blood and death and food and wine.

They are all powerful and they never tend to work too well with each other.

So it's not a surprise when the God of Mischief turns against Asgard, he's been doing it all his life.

Not even gods can fall through the universe and not be adversely affected, and waking up cold, betrayed and unloved on a planet you'd hoped never to see again will put even a god in an angry mood.

Hela would say 'It could be worse. You could have woken up in Hel, or never woken up at all.' She would say that, she says it even when the gods do wake up in Hel.

Here's the thing about Tricksters:

They aren't 'evil', they aren't 'violent'; they are just annoying.

They are all pranks and magic and 'I'm not stopping until you cry' and candy, they love their candy.

They are fickle and tend to choose to work alone, but they work best when their strengths are working in tandem, not even the gods can stand up to the combined might of the Tricksters.

So it's not a surprise when the Trickster God starts wreaking havoc, he's been doing it all his life.

Not even Tricksters, who can bend Time, Space and reality to their will can fall through the Universe and not become changed, and waking up exhausted, essentially drained of all power and emotionally compromised will very easily put a Trickster in a foul mood.

Gabriel would say 'cheer up; you've landed on the planet with the best candy.' He would say that, he says it no matter which planet they end up on.

Here's the thing about families:

They tend to fall apart, they don't plan to but they do.

They are all love and pride and rivalry and 'can I have your room if you die?' and lies, no family is complete without lies.

They are weak and fragile and whatever bonds hold them together stretch only as far as the blood line or the value of the members lives or wants. They work well together but work better against each other.

So it's not a surprise when the youngest son of the Royals of Asgard falls through the cracks, he's been doing it all his life.

Not even the son, who has lived in shadow all his life and been burned by the sun which he calls his big brother, can fall through the universe without being torn to pieces and reassembled with a few key parts missing, and waking up cold, alone and betrayed by your own family makes even the most calm and wise son lose all control.

Sam would say 'it's not your fault, there's a demon inside you that you can't get rid of.' He would say that, he says it no matter what choices he makes in full 'sane' capacity.

Here's the thing about Loki:

He never wanted the throne he only wanted to be his brother's equal.

He is all anger and regret and resentment and loss and magic and pain and sorrow.

He is both a mother and a father and dearly loves his children even though they have been taken from him. He works best on his own and won't let anyone tell him otherwise.

So it's not a surprise when he tries to kill himself, he's been doing it all his life.

Not even Loki, who always has a trick up his sleeve, can fall through the Universe without having his heart ripped out and shredded to pieces to be shoddily put back together, and waking up, just waking up when you never wanted to wake again, quickly makes Loki go insane.

Thor would say 'I'm sorry; I did not mean to wake you." He would say that, he says that despite always making so much noise that the entire Palace is unable to find rest once he decides he isn't going to sleep.

Here's the thing about Earth:

She has a tendency to keep on spinning even when she's at war with herself.

She's all earth and fire and water and air and life and death and gravity.

Her house is never in order, her family never works together, she rotates a sun and her children always seem to get burned but she tries to take care of them the only way she knows how, they are her children and she loves them.

So it's not a surprise when she doesn't stop spinning when destruction knocks on her door, she's been doing it all her life.

Here's the thing about depression:

It's a deep dark pit where you fall and just keep falling, and even when you hit the ground, you don't stop falling.

It's all anger and pain and loss and sorrow and regrets and resentment and 'I wish I could be as good as everyone else' and 'I wish you'd just love me' and 'I wish I had done something better with my life.'

It's a great big ball of overwhelming feelings and broken hearts and lungs you wish would stop breathing and blood you wish would stop pumping and a heart you just wish would stop beating. It is dark and dangerous and chaotic and so cold you burn even as you start to numb.

So it's not a surprise when the God of Chaos finally falls, he has been doing so all his life, after all.

A/N: I don't actually know what made me write this but something did.

Cookies for whoever works out where Gabriel and Sam are from. :P
