Here it is! I just had to get this after seeing infinity war.
“sometimes I wonder how it would feel to break down. to grab things and smash them to pieces. to scream and show everything I feel inside on the outside instead. and I wonder if it would help. to let go like that. to say, fuck it, and not give a damn whether you’re locked away in some dingy asylum away from all things sane. when you have felt crazy for so long, you wonder why it should matter to finally stop pretending that you were ever okay that you were ever sane or normal that you were ever anything else at all. let. it. breathe. and let them lock you away. let them blot your name from the history books. to finally not exist… perhaps at last you’d feel something close to freedom.”
— broken thoughts
It’s my fault, isn’t it?
I hope you never reach a point where nothing makes you feel better. Talking about it doesn’t make you feel better, staying silent doesn’t make you feel better. Seeing the ones you love doesn’t make you feel better, isolating yourself doesn’t make you feel better. Eating doesn’t make you feel better, starving yourself to feel a more urgent pain to distract you from the real one doesn’t make you feel better.
I hope you never have to write about it, and find out, that even that, no longer makes you feel the slightest bit better.
I don’t mean to be a downer but I can’t think of a single scene that wouldn’t have been made better if Loki had lived to be a part of it.
Imagine him making rude comments about Thor when the guardians are admiring him.
Imagine him having some sort of ‘who can be the most sarcastic?’ battle with Rocket.
Imagine him meeting Groot, and maybe being able to speak to him too.
Imagine Loki being a shoulder to cry on for Thor as they both mourn the loss of half their people.
Imagine him going with Thor to help forge his new weapon, and maybe even getting one himself, or for once not being jealous of Thor for something he doesn’t have, but being truly proud of him.
Imagine him entering Wakanda with him to the Avengers theme, ready to totally commit himself to the fight, and driving himself to the other Avengers that he was worthy of their trust.
And finally, imagine him running at Thanos, ready to do whatever he could to help his brother, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
Even if he had ‘died’ at the end with the other half of the universe, we would have got that incredible moment in Avengers 4 when the remaining Avengers would bring them all back, and Thor and Loki would finally get the hug we have been waiting for.
So much possible character development wasted. We can only dream.

Wow…
a mess
