“.. The sun will shine on us again.”
Many , including myself, are trying to process what just happened and WHY Loki would do such a stupid pitiful attempt to attack Thanos and get himself killed in the first 10mins. It was shocking and violent but perhaps it has a purpose.
My thoughts:
Loki had a line in Ragnarok: “I can’t see into the future, I’m not a witch.” . However one of the abilities of the Tesseract is to give visions of the future that may or may not be true. Thor wasn’t aware until the last minute that Loki had the Tesseract again but within that time of Loki stealing it from the vault and the “I’m here” scene Loki would have tapped into it to help him escape Asgard, the byproduct: he saw something. Even if it is 50/50 odds what he saw was true his nature is try and tip situations in his favor. In order for the best outcome to happen he needs Thor to have motivated anger. Just losing the Asgardian people would create a depressed king Loki won’t be able to work with but Loki knows that if he dies violently In front of Thor (again) it will give Thor the drive to want revenge. Remember, in DW Loki was faking his death and would have felt how upset Thor was ( seeming even more so then the death of their own mother). Thor, after meeting the GotG, tells Gamora “ your father killed my brother” not “ your father killed my people.”
Back to the start of IW: there is about 3mins of Hulk and Thanos fighting that we don’t see Loki at all. During this distraction there is more then enough time for him to copy himself and prepare for his “death” to get Thor in the emotional state needed.
Dr. Strange only saw one timeline where they will win in the end and if it is the same as what Loki is seeing they are both seemingly making the best plays by making the “dumbest” choices they can’t explain without ruining the end game.
For Loki to say the “The sun will shine on us again”.. Not “you” suggests Loki knows something, he doesn’t intend to die here, and is helping set up the most elaborate fuck over for Thanos yet. This starts with an angry Thor.

HENRY CAVILL as Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes (2020)
wash your face every night - washcloth, warm water, and a simple cleanser will do wonders. plus, warm water helps make you all sleepy for bed
take a multivitamin every day - and keep an eye open for coupons for them. usually multivitamins have some pretty great coupons
if you can, open the windows every once in a while. fresh air does a lot of good for your body (and state of mind)!
keep a few cleaning supplies in the bathroom. every so often after having a shower, give things a quick wipe-down. the steam from the shower dislodges any sink guck, making the job much easier - and never underestimate the power of a clean bathroom for both physical and mental health
keep a water bottle by the bed and drink some water when you wake up. it’ll help you greet the day a little easier, and plus - whose mouth ISN’T as dry as the sahara when they wake up?
it’s not always easy, but try to make doing dishes before turning in for the night a habit. i can’t express how lovely it is to wake up and walk into a clean and tidy kitchen
keep snacks in the fridge that are delicious and healthy - my faves are strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and grapes. i love snacks. plus, there’s not really much prep involved with those kinds of things
sweep! sweeping takes up a bit more physical energy, but it’s become one of my favourite things to do. i put on some nice music and visualize sweeping out not only dirt, but anything else clouding up my space - negative energy, self doubt, etc. it’s a nice, witchy little ritual for me now.
light a candle, specifically one that smells delicious
identify the things that make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings and prioritize them and only them when you’re feeling sucky. that way, you still feel accomplished, but you aren’t using up all your mental and physical energy trying to run through all your tasks/cleaning/etc
remember that you’re doing these things for you, and not anyone else. you deserve to feel happy and at ease!
Maybe we'll see more of her and Sherlock working together
“…just to wish you the compliments of the season.”
(Happy holidays everyone!)
Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved information
This year I wish you…
abundance of health, abundance of love, and abundance of success.
clear skin, clear head and clear boundaries of what you no longer allow into your life.
blazing confidence and blazing strength to smash those goals.
and most importantly, may you be surrounded by loving and beautiful people who support you in every way.
Not letting people experience the consequences of their own actions is a form of people pleasing because it comes from a desire to avoid conflict & keep their approval at the expense of your own boundaries and self respect.
