That was the last time he saw the stars of Asgard.
For a long time, Loki drifted, and there were no stars.
When the stars came back, they were not his own.

Falling

For a long time, Loki drifted, and there were no stars.

Loki is embarrassingly fond of the Harry Potter books.
A series about a boy with magical powers that was raised by people who didn’t understand him and treated him cruelly? Who was raised in a world in which he didn’t belong? Who was raised being lied to about his true origins? The books made Loki positively ache with empathy.
He likes the movies, too, but not nearly as much as he adores the books.
He may or may not have a Slytherin scarf. (He totally does, he just doesn’t want to admit it)
He keeps this a secret, because he would be mortified if anyone knew.
Content warning: torture
Loki wasn’t under the influence of the Tesseract in the same way as Clint and Erik were. It is, however, true that the staff had an effect on him. It not only amplified his bitterness toward Thor and Odin and the general universe—it also amplified his fear of Thanos and The Other. They tortured him for what felt like millenia. Physical torture was often at first, but when that proved not to have the desired effect, it became psychological. They played on every one of Loki’s worst nightmares, all of his fears and insecurities, and all of his feelings of betrayal and abandonment.
In the end, Loki didn’t have much of a choice. Either try to take over Midgard and get the Tesseract (and, as an added bonus, get his revenge on Thor), or be psychologically tortured for the rest of eternity.
It wasn’t a hard choice.
(And if he’s really, truly honest…Loki is glad he lost.)

You ask me why I did what I did? Ask, rather, why the serpent Nidhogg eats the roots of Yggdrasil — why, when the tree’s death means, in turn, the dragon’s ruin? Because, Thor, I keep telling you — that is what it was born to do — that is what I was born to do
Loki is genderfluid. As a shapeshifter, he is comfortable taking many forms, including shifting between genders. He looks at gender like two sides of the same coin.
He doesn’t really experiment with mixing the two, however, because he comes from a culture that clearly cuts a firm line between men and women, and that’s stuck with him.
Loki doesn’t believe in unconditional love.

Loki can always tell the difference between a regular thunderstorm, and one of Thor’s thunderstorms. There’s a magical energy that accompanies Thor’s thunderstorms, one that Loki has been exposed to so much over the years he can identify it nigh instantaneously.
Regular thunderstorms make Loki morose. They bring back a lot of memories.

From this gif, you can see him pulling it out of, I dunno, hammer space?

And then we see him putting it back:

The Casket has not been seen since, so I think it’s safe to assume that Loki still has it, tucked into his magic pockets or whatever.
“If you fail…if the Tesseract is kept from us, there is no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where you can hide from us. You think you know pain? We will make you long for something as sweet as pain.”
Loki dreads the day Thanos makes good on the Other’s threat. He knows they will.
Thanks to his time spent with the Chitauri, Loki is actually very tech savvy.
