#who would trust loki's word over... anyone? let alone the kind entities that are large fundamental parts of the universe

[worstloki]

If the mind stone really did have some partial control or influence over Loki's actions in the first Avengers movie, it's because the mind stone was trying to get close to Loki, that's all :/

mind stone's love language is getting in your head

and if it had more than partial malicious control then i'm accusing the chitauri sceptre for trapping and twisting it to the whims of its users

#mind stone is a telepath with no sense of privacy #space stone has no sense of personal space and will get touchy #soul stone can read your desires/love and sees nothing wrong about sharing that info #time has seen you die over and over in possible scenarios that did not and will not occur (and sometimes forgets that part) #power uncannily knows potential strength you're capable of at any moment and has no regard for consequences associated with #reality knows small details which isn't too odd until you're left wondering if they're like that because they felt inclined #spending too much time with any one of them takes something from everyone #im just saying if i didn't consider loki an exception and prefer him being safe from this bc they care for him................yeah #i can see them turning their abilities on him on purpose if it's for his own wellbeing #which would of course be a betrayal #and if that's with loki why not go the entire way #treat the stones as a poison that go too far in what they see as protection and love and care #consent doesn't mean much if you're transparent #quite literally so #what starts off as a sweet relationship can always get worse #there's no out when a power imbalance that hard goes sideways #who would trust loki's word over... anyone? let alone the kind entities that are large fundamental parts of the universe #if they say he's fine he's fine #assuming he's a chaos entity and as strong as one or even two of them... that's six against one #even if he can shield himself from the ambient abilities of half of them what happens when they put effort into it #:) #infinoki #i've been thinking about dark!infinitystones recently and there is a LOT of potential okay especially with loki #whether they're fueled by selfish wants or out of care i just. really like the idea of the stones at the end of the day being dangerous #whether it's in an addictive way or based entirely off loki's own damaged state bc you really can read Ragnarok loki as SO messed up #he's really just thrown from one abusive dynamic to another and then at the end of the day he's back even after trying to break away #it's good he tries though that's the important part #still leaves room for inevitable failure of course but what's paprikash without a pinch of paprika #right? #y'all need to be more grateful i am benevolent and lean into light hearted crack because my humour really does border on dark ya know :/
