AKA

spoilers ahead obviously

we specifically see loki researching apocalypses in the previous episode. now to be fair he was supposed to be researching EARTH apocalypses but when has he ever followed directions. how very convenient (well, inconvenient i guess) that not only does he “accidentally” teleport himself and sylvie into an apocalypse, but one that sylvie describes as “one of the worst” with “no survivors.” 

my GENIUS big-brained friend pointed out that loki and sylvie had a whole conversation about not sleeping in front of people they can’t trust and then. SHE FELL ASLEEP IN FRONT OF HIM??? so its entirely possible that this is where the real fuckery begins

so she wakes up to see that loki is super drunk, but hes also like. changed clothes? and he didn’t change clothes into his usual loki outfit he changed back into the jacket with a big fucking orange variant written on the back of it. WHY would he do that unless he was purposefully trying to attract attention? like what reason did he have to change from his guard clothes. i get that he was supposed to be drunk but it seems super out of character for him? usually whenever he’s acting crazy its to prove a point (pompeii) or he’s trying to manipulate someone. ALSO his whole conversation with her about love and daggers seemed really weird, like why are you even having this conversation unless youre trying to get her to open up and reveal some info or plan? 

AND THEN. the fucking guard asks for his ticket. and instead of like. CONJURING THE ILLUSION OF ANYTHING REMOTELY TICKET-LIKE. He just conjures some fireworks??? like hewwo?? you just showed you can conjure shit so why not conjure a ticket??? and also that scene where he throws the dagger but it misses and she says “terrible aim” does he really have terrible aim or is he purposefully throwing the fight so he cant pretend like the tempad was fucked up.

oh yeah and the TEMPAD. HOW did the tempad get fucked up i thought he was hiding it using his magic its not like it was in his goddamn POCKET right?? like he was able to keep the tesseract intact in that scene with thanos so THAT doesn’t make much sense. also the fact that sylvie is quite understandably upset about their only form of transportation off this planet being destroyed and he just doesnt seem to care. like yeah hes the god of mischief but youd think he has SOME kind of self preservation instinct.

AND. THAT FUCKING SCENE. wehre he like. reverses the building or whatever??? where the fuck did he pull THAT power from? his ass? kind of seems like a power that he could’ve used MANY other times in the episode to save them. some people are saying he was using the time stone UM. that ALSO couldve been useful plenty of times before if he were actually trying to get them to safety.

it kind of seems to me like hes pretending the tempad is broken so that sylvie thinks shes well and truly fucked and then shes more likely to just reveal all her plans and info to him. cause he keeps repeating over and over again about how nothing matters when its the end of the world so maybe hes hoping shell just tell him everything if she thinks theyre going to die. also i just dont see another way out of this situation unless its a scheme like. tempad broken. ark fucked. and theyre in an apocalypse the tva cant track them.

and my FINAL piece of evidence is that in the description of the episode they talk about how lokis plan is different from sylvies but then in the episode he doesnt seem to actually HAVE a plan he just kind of bumbles around like a fool unless. acting like a fool actually WAS his plan.

Lotor: Ah, Blue Paladin, at last we meet face to face.  I’ve been wanting to meet you since you damaged my ship on Thayserix

Lance:  Um…that wasn’t me dude.  I fly the red lion

Lotor:….But you are wearing the blue armour

Lance: Yeah, well, I use to fly the blue lion, but then we switched and I fly the red lion now.

Lotor: Then why don’t you wear red armour?

Lance: Because Keith is the red paladin.

Keith: Yo! *raises hand*

Lotor: But don’t you fly the red lion?

Keith: No, I fly the black lion

Lotor: Then why don’t you wear black?!

Lance: Because he’s the red paladin!  Haven’t you been listening?

Lotor: *sigh and twitches an eye* Alright, fine, then who flies the blue lion?

Allura: I do.

Lotor: YOU’RE WEARING PINK!  THERE’S NOT EVEN A PINK LION! *sigh*I SUPPOSE THE GREEN PALADIN FLIES THE YELLOW LION?!

Pidge:  No way!  I fly the green lion!  Are you stupid?!

Lotor:……….I am done…I am so done.

Lotor mistaking Lance for the guy who screwed him over before and getting super confused in the ensuing conversation will be gold.

Lotor: Acxa take note.

Acxa: Yes sir?

Lotor: When I return to base we must update our files on the paladns… *Ezor stares* And make a chart.

Lotor:
