I wonder if Loki thought about when he was falling through the abyss when Strange left him falling for thirty minutes
HOLY SHIT ME TOO
I was definitely bothered that they were being so cavalier about something that’s plausibly a PTSD trigger for him. But I guess he’s over it now, right? Because he was telling that clearly *hilarious* story to his new friends on Sakaar that ended with “and then I let go.”
HOLY SHIT?!
I did not even catch what story he was telling on Sakaar? He was telling them about his suicide attempt? What the fuck?!
From the shooting script (available here, among other places): “There was a wormhole in space and time beneath me. At that moment, I let go.”
New headcanon: Loki is telling the people of Sakaar about something that isn’t his fucking suicide attempt. Let’s say he’s telling them about some adventure he, Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three had where Loki had to save everyone (perhaps he’s exaggerating, perhaps not). Yeah, that sounds good to me.
The best I can make of it is what you and some others have done with the horrible play: call it a really weird coping strategy.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
