//Now this one I’ve heard about before, yes. It captures Loki’s essentia; faithlessness and rage from the Avengers Assemble period well, especially the implicit abuse at Thanos’s hands, but interestingly it doubles well with Odin: Â
I’m trapped and my back is up against the wall I see no solution or exit out I’m grinding it out, no one can see The pressure is growing exponentially I’m trying to keep up to speed with you Your lane changing is oscillating me I’m hitting the ground and I’m sprinting I’m falling behind now I’m tuning out
Pressure building Pressure building Pressure building
Don’t push me Don’t push me Let me get off the ground To you I’m no longer bound Don’t stop me, don’t choke me I need you out of my head You’ve got me close to the edge
I’m feeling the pressure I can’t break out No one can hear me scream and shout Get out of my face, out of my mind I see your corruption I’m not blind I’ll carry the burden and take the strain And when I am done I will make you pay

//I don’t think he would either, but isn’t he contractually obligated? That’s my only fear. Does anyone know to how many films Tom must be committed? Last I heard he owed one more “film” should they choose to use him, which means mcr is right in saying he signed on for an entirely new project voluntarily. Â
I think I have compassion fatigue for the character at this point, and I was almost hoping Marvel would be done with him after the next film. Â
I am also a little concerned that a character who’s always been shown as subsidiary is now obtaining center stage, and I’m afraid of “canon” we will learn that contradicts long-held dear headcanons of mine. Basically I never expected something this comprehensive to take place with Loki as the star, and I’m terrified that the new material is gonna rip my heart apart afresh in unexpected ways.  What if Loki is shown to hate children, or be a bad parent? Me: dead. What if Loki is shown to be a womanizer? Me: dead. What if he’s shown plotting to kill Thor even after they’ve reconciled? Me: dead. And so on and so forth. Â
I guess I just need to have more faith in my own seven-year-long insights about this character. But so many bad things have happened both in-universe and IRL that I’m finding hope hard to come by. Â
That’s not for ONE MINUTE to say that you guys shouldn’t be OVERJOYED, or that I won’t eventually feel the same happiness. I’m certainly excited that we’ll be getting fresh material which will only feed my drive to write meta and rp. I just hope I’m not forgotten with the other “old” Loki blogs when all the hype hits XD;Â
“Every time I play Loki, and this is a source of constant surprise and delight to me, is that people love him so much. And I think it’s because people can relate to him in some way. He’s an outsider. He’s a misfit.”—Tom Hiddleston
