No, he was trying to cut off his pinkie finger as an apology.
The running joke of the manga is that he used to be a high-ranking yakuza enforcer who’s having trouble adapting to civilian life. Hence her shocked face when she saw the decorations and the creepy way he sang “Happy Birthday”; it’s a traditional birthday celebration for your oyabun, not your wife.
oh my god, i just realized, this means he sees her
AS THE BOSS IN THE RELATIONSHIP
He see’s her as his direct boss, but the group’s head is the Women’s Association Chairwoman:
k why is this gif the funniest shit i’ve ever seen it makes me feel like i’m entering another plane of reality
ok guys I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this gif since I saw it and I just need to unpack its various elements for a second:
1. the central tension of this scene, obviously, which is thor realizing jeff goldblum dicked down his kid brother
2. the fact that jeff goldblum either apparently never learned how to wink OR is trying and failing to bat his eyelashes
3. the way loki opens his mouth as if to try to explain himself to thor and then looks back at jeff goldblum and decides, nah, we’re good, there’s no coming back from this one
4. the fact that whoever made this gif decided this scene wasn’t hysterical enough on its own and added dramatic telenovela zooms
5. the combined effect of all of these elements being that not only can I not stop thinking about this gif but also I hear the kill bill siren whenever I look at it
Also the fact that Thor and Loki are named as their characters, but Jeff Goldblum is Jeff Goldblum in every universe, fictional or otherwise.
the best jeff goldblum photoshoots are the ones where he looks like an exasperated museum curator who just got off the phone with his husband who informed him that their beloved border collie scuffed the living room floors which they JUST varnished last weekend and ugh sorry but he really doesnt have the time for this because he’s nursing a hangover from all the cherry merlot he consumed at last night’s company mixer which he’d promise himself he’d go easy on because he had a lot of errands to run the next day but he just got so caught up with trying to impress mrs van damme and has a tendency to hide his anxiety with booze which is something he’s been trying to work through but anyway he’s already at the tailor’s and he’s gotta get back to the office in 15 so he’ll see him at home and hangs up in a bit of a rush but realized that was kinda rude so he’s thinking of an appropriate emoji to send him to soften the blow while he’s waiting for darlene to bring him his smoking jacket
