After the timelines have broken free, Loki decides that all he wants is to join Thor in New Asgard. With a stolen tempad he travels to a timeline where the previous Loki died at the hands of Thanos. Now Loki helps his brother in rebuilding a home for the displaced people of Asgard while simultaneously learning to live a universe where it feels like this is the last place he should be. He wants nothing to do with the humans living nearby, but one in particular is not getting the message.

Now with its own concept album! Thanks to @loopsisloops for this wonderful Thrown soundtrack.
Taglist beneath the cut.
My finale thoughts are not organized but here they are.
It's complicated.
I really do think it's beautiful. As far as the story is concerned, I love it.
Where the character is concerned, I hate it.
Part of it might be where I am in my life right now.
But I think this probably would have hurt regardless.
Since we first met him in 2011, I have always summed up Loki's popularity with this: he's wounded. Loki is wounded which makes him relatable, because who among us isn't?
In the 12 years since, he's been presented in different lights and at different stages of change and it has been great, I have loved every iteration of him and his story. But the ending I always hoped for was not this one. Loki is wounded, and I am wounded, and so what I desperately want to see is Loki healed, Loki happy, and maybe then I could see part of myself in him there as well.
Seriously, the only, only thing I have wanted from the MCU for years now has been for the sun to shine on Thor and Loki again. The worst possible outcome for me is Loki alone for eternity, when all he has ever wanted was to connect with people around him.
Though I suppose he is connected to everyone now.
Clinging to the hope that this might not be the end. Hard rules have not been established, and it's never hopeless with comic book stories. Comic book fuckery can always save us. Remember, Wolverine died in 2017. Right this minute, not only will he be in another movie but Hugh Jackman is even playing him.
There could be something else for Loki in the future. Though a part of me does hate to lose this beautiful ending.
In the meantime, I suppose that's what fanfiction is for. I'll keep writing stories where Loki is healed, where Loki is happy, where Loki makes the connections with other people in the way he has always craved, and the way that I crave also.
I'll write my own damn sun.

Most purpose is more burden than glory. You just choose your burden. And trust me, you never wanna be the guy who avoids it ācause you canāt live with the burden.
Absolutely devastated with the ending Iām gonna pretend it didnāt happen bye
Interesting things that you can get from trying all the options but that reveal a general characterization and idea of astarion and tav's romance.
I wanted to talk about Astarion's feelings regarding intimacy and sex, and indipendence, and how this can give a small timeline of his relationship with Tav.
CONFESSION VS NO CONFESSION
If you don't get the confession or drow potion scene, astarion will still stop having sex with Tav, and at the start of act 3, if you ask about it he'll tell you that he's tired of paying with sex, and that you were a bad deal now. It was all transactional but he's done. If you say you're hurt, he'll reply that it hurts more to use his body to get nothing in exchange, basically. I think this confirms that up till some events leading to the confession, the relationship was transactional. He only says "This is the one talent I have".
Misdirection (Astarion romance route)
BG3 spoilers
I am obsessed with the misdirection in Astarion's romance. I said it before, I was absolutely tricked too. When you read a text or consume media every line is put there for a reason, it is a waste otherwise. By the party scene you kind of have a certain idea of what Astarion is. You know that he dislikes helping others, you know that he lies, he flirts a lot, he is vain, he is a killer, and he wants power (from the conversations about the tadpoles and Raphael).
At this point, if you chose him as a romance, it could also be that you enjoyed the idea of him being a vampire and all the tropes that come with it.
So when, after the first night together, you can ask him "It felt like you weren't fully there" there had to be a reason. From a writing pov, why was that line added?

This movie is a childhood favourite of mine and I LOVE that it's finally getting some recognition!!!!
can I ask u a personal question? itās just that I love the way you write about loveā¦how itās in all of the little things ā the banter, the gestures, the affirmations. and I love reading about love, because Iām a hopeless romantic but only for the type of love you showcase so well ā safe, warm and homely.
so what I want to ask is, how much of what you write translates to real life? with your personal relationship experience, do you find that writing about love is vastly different to how you experience it in real life? like does having relationship experience enlighten you on how to write love, or does writing still involve a lot of romanticisation?
i love love love writing about love even though Iāve yet to experience it for real myself. and reading your stories truly fills me with so much hope but Iām also trying to stay realistic at the same timeā¦so I would love so much to hear your thoughts on this!! (pls donāt feel pressured to give advice! iād just love to hear your own observations/thoughts)
i have been stewing over this ask like a little potato in a crockpot all day long.
honestly, i've been writing about love ā or even just emotional intimacy ā for as long as i can remember. romance as a whole has always made me super insane, verifiably delirious even, which is a funny thing.
it's funny because i firmly believe that every writer leaves a part of themselves behind in their pieces. for me, that was always chasing those exact things you've mentioned above: safe, warm comfort and a feeling that is like home.
without psychoanalyzing myself on main too much, it's safe to say my environment all throughout my life (and currently, still) did not have much of these things at all. physical affection and verbal affirmations are in short supply when you're in a constant state of survival mode. my parents firmly believed "keeping me out of it" which resulted in a lot of isolation as a kid that i still struggle with. my room, and in turn the stories i wove alone, were my escape out of the shittiest nights alive.
i always write what i want when it came to love. the daring adventure, the slow burn, the enemy who saw all my faults and still fell for me ā the heroine, and always a love that remained steady and true despite the hardship.
i don't know if i've ever really been in love ā at least not the kind i write about. and, to that point, not the kind that i've grown to realize i deserve. further more: the kind i will not settle any less for.
i take things from my past relationships (good or bad or awful or wonderful) ā feelings and emotions mostly ā that have been ingredients to that love i chase. like i said, those pieces of me as a writer get tossed into my work often.
i think that's the funny thing now, especially as i was crafting these very raw and honorific stories dedicated to love persisting while in my last relationship. there's this line that you walk as an artist when romanticizing a brush of fingertips is a craft ā you find yourself thinking is this just how reality is? dull? stagnant? forced? is this your life now, the same saturday morning lived over and over and over and over in a small town? trapped in a flat, bound loop of time?
and then you die?
i don't think it is. i don't think love 'in real life' has to be any different from the romanticization of love in my writing ā but i do think growing to a point where you understand you deserve that sort of love is the most important part.
i've been happiest in the moments where i've romanticized my life. when i've given myself the adventurous love that write about.
This is the most beautiful thing Iāve read all day. Thank you for this. I just came out of a breakup and reading this made me realize that itās okay for me to want to chase that fanfiction kind of love. I want that.
