AHHHH

LOOK AT IT

SOAK IT IN

HE LOVES HIS FAMILY SO MUCH AND THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW

Mourning Frigga

Hearing Odin say that he loves him. 

Realizing that he and Thor are still together and talking. And that they watched Odin die together. For one small, incremental moment, he wasn’t alone in something awful. 

The death of his parents is so painful that he has to look away from the screen. Then quickly looks back up upon hearing Thor talk. 

Maybe you’re not so bad after all brother,

maybe not

Loki laughs quietly, because Thor gets him. And Loki feels that for the first time in a very long time. Then Thor offers to hug him, and Loki smiles. And laughs. The first, genuine smile and laugh that we’ve gotten from him since Thor 1 (at this point in the timeline): 

And by the Norns, they hugged. You can freakin see it in his face. 

And then he goes forward, because surely, surely there is more good memories like these here. Of course there are, he and Thor are finally talking. Their parents may be dead, but Thor’s love means so much to him it’s the first thing that breaks Loki out of his stoic mask. 

Look at him, still hopeful, still wanting. 

And then Thanos makes an on-screen appearance.
