#he just cares about Loki

[lokiusly]

a moment of silence for Loki never showing any cute magic tricks to Mobius

#still petty over that #a part of me KNOWS that Mobius doesn’t care about that kinda stuff #he just cares about Loki #it’s giving a walk to remember #loki being told ‘Loki- YOU becoming a better person was the magic for Mobius #bruh :( #lokius #mobius #loki show #loki season 2 #loki x mobius #loki spoilers #mcu loki #mobius m mobius #loki laufeyson #loki #lokius meta #lokius fic

imagine being Thanos and you get completely conned by this Asgardian Prince sorcerer guy you tortured and left with a mind-addling infinity stone years ago and when you chase him down 10 years later you find out he wasn't even Asgardian or their Prince the entire time

#Thanos like ???????????? #Loki listing off titles with the clear intention that he's only just coming to accept them as his own with Thor #and Thanos is there trying to recall proof that he was a sorcerer at least because????? huh???????????????? #like Thanos doesn't care but he's been under this assumption of basic info and Loki is there like ach yea i'm blue dontcha know #Thanos is going to strangle the man either way #but like #most things about the guy went under the radar?????? #Thanos like hold on you lost me 3 infinity stones AND you swindled about who you were?!?!????? #shoddy workmanship that Other guy had isn't it??? #'good thing i fired him'

[icanmakeusbothworse]

Also. Y’all. The way that loki finally confronted how he doesn’t want to be alone? And then learned how to control an uncontrollable and painful thing by realizing he needs the people he loves and cares about??? The silly little chaos god is soft and so am I let them be happy

#lokius #loki #loki season two #mobius #sylvie #b 15 #o.b. #Casey #also y’all maybe I’m delusional but #hear me out #I have a modicum of hope that this isn’t just a big queerbait moment #but even if it is #we got mobius and loki being soft #and also also #we got to see loki realize that he’s allowed and able to care about people #and that’s the real glorious purpose he’s been looking for

when sylvie rolls up to a branched timeline during the year 1982 in the middle of oklahoma in a random field, i am torn between the emotional potency of her experiencing a timeline that was destined to be destroyed like her own was, and how fucking weird it must have been for jack, the mcdonalds employee whose only priority is to graduate high school, to have encountered this feral creature rolling up straight from the end of all time. she's still in her battle armor and has open gashes on her face and she's asking for something that isn't a squirrel, possum or a rat, please. he adjusts his tie with a smile and says "okay!" when the woman with a machete asks to try everything. absolute king. customer service is just like that sometimes.

#you guys don't get it it's such a rare event for someone with a british accent to roll up in america #he must have been shocked by that alone #but he seems so unbothered #this random lady doesnt even know how to order food so he just explains to her what they sell there #because you WILL encounter people like that when u interact with customers #and you are also like 17 and only really care about homecoming #anyway jack ur a king i'm glad u got to live in that branched timeline while u did #loki #loki series #loki show #loki tv show #loki tv #sylvie #sylvie laufeydottir #loki s2 #juni analysis

So does sigyn just not exist in the mcu? I know she's in the comics even though I don't read them. Because why are you telling me Loki is completely unloveable and the only person he can love/feel attracted to is himself as a woman that's insane. He's not this demonic guy he's a god of tricks and chaos. He's loved by Thor. By frigga/Freya. By sigyn his canon wife. By his children even if you don't want them to exist here (why I've no idea that's an amazing story)

#loki #loki x sigyn #and then theres the people who latched onto shipping simply for the sake of it #idk maybe ive been a loki fan too long but who gives a shit about mobius i want to see loki like he was before the first thor movie #a hero by choice #reuniting with his brother even though theyre separated by timelines #using his magic and being badass and saving the day #tearing the world apart because odin and frigga are dead his birth father is dead his adopted sister is dead #and now thanos is dead #he can find thor and the little god child he just adopted #loki is a caring mom we already know this

the moment when you realize an ai would've written a better larry show than mike waldron bc an ai would've been trained on previous loki content and thus, unlike mike, would've actually watched the films

#still not over the interview where he didn't even know that loki killed laufey even tho it was a pivotal character moment for him #or how neither he nor kate seem to get that the sylki romance could be read as selfcest or incest bc they thought it was just like #miles/gwen bc they didn't realize “loki” is a name not a title #so sylki isn't like miles/an alternate spider person. it's like miles/an alternate miles. #originally posted this in the discord but im salty so its today its going here too #I genuinely think Mike Waldron is the worst writer I have ever come across. his lack of talent is truly staggering. #Not that the others like Eric Martin are much better #still wild to me that he basically copy pasted his abominable og script and changed a few names and no one cared #or that he could get away with openly messing up basic facts about the character in interviews and showing he never even watched the movies #(The point of this post is to show how abysmally poor the quality of the Larry show was. not to advocate for ai writing) #the point is. mike couldn't even clear that very low bar. the answer is not ai. the answer was hiring actually competent writers #and not making the show with the express intent to undermine loki. bc the show wasn't just bad. it was actively malicious #loki show #loki tv series #loki season 2 #loki tv #loki series #loki tv show #random musings

@stupidrant this is the official, SMS approved (hopefully) gif everyone should use whenever they encounter a fandom troll.

#because any other reasoning just wouldn't work on those people #yesterday stumbled across another troll comment (though not a new one) from an Odin apologist #saying that Odin 'never abused Freya' and women like her 'always lie about those things' #alas there's no option to post gif responses in the YT comment section #otherwise I'd be doing that on a hourly basis whenever seeing nonsense like this; or posts about how #'Thr*d and Atreus should get together; because apparently a girl punching a boy in the face before trying to #chop his head off as he lies helpless on the ground (which she would've done if her mother hadn't interfered) after calling him #'a killer just like his father'; or a boy 15 years of age playing a parent to girl's actual parents - one of whom is #a semi-functioning literally gigantic alcoholic who slaughtered this boy's people and bragged about it in front of him - #is a basis for healthy romance #rather than an actual healthy and equal and caring relationship between Atreus and Angrboda #who trusted him when he admitted he had no idea what he was doing and agreed to share responsibility with him #which was supposed to be his all along but that he wasn't ready to take just yet #in addition to opening up about her own pain of losing both parents just to help him feel better #and aiding him in embracing their shared heritage which was what Atreus wanted from the moment he #learned of his giant background and 'Loki' #that is on top of taking care of Fen while Atreus embarked on a quest of his own (both times) and being the only one who could #sooth him back into human form during his animal transformations using only words of support and physical gentleness

[loki-us]

Are you dense or something?? Why are you acting like Loki learnt affection from Mobius like????saving Jane and all? Loki had been overly and openly affectionate with Thor for all his life and it only became weird from Thor 1 all the creators and actors have been very vocal about it, he cared about thors friends and protected their lives. Y'all really weird and just want to make everything about your ship when it's not.

I completely agree that deep down Loki has always had empathy and affection for Thor and those he cares about! I made a post on that here where Loki risks his life to save Jane and I mentioned some of that in the tags. I think Mobius’ impact on Loki was to give him freedom—to allow Loki to express his feelings, to show his affection, to be vulnerable and open in ways that he had previously only been taught were weaknesses. In 2x4, Loki talks about how Thor had been changed by Jane and how, at the time, Loki mocked him for becoming ‘weak.’ Because that’s what Loki had learned from Odin. He learned that he would only be worthy, he would only be good enough if he could achieve the throne, if he was seen as powerful and strong by others. When Loki tried to please his father by getting rid of their sworn enemies, it still wasn’t enough for Odin and Loki was cast aside for it. I think Loki never really knew how to express his affection and care in a way that wouldn’t lead to him being abandoned or looked down upon. Loki was taught that the only way to become powerful and worthy was to show no vulnerability, as he says in 1x1, the “elaborate trick” to inspire fear and control. He had absolutely no examples of how to show affection and still be respected for it.

Then when Mobius came along, he truly showed Loki how to trust and be open with another person, to show vulnerability and affection in a healthy and supportive way. Mobius told Loki ‘I see who you pretend to be but I know what parts of yourself you’re hiding and therefore I know you can be good.’ Mobius showed Loki that he didn’t need a throne to be worthy, he doesn’t need to pretend not to care to get others to look up to him, he can be gentle and he can trust others and those people will trust him back. Besides Loki’s mother, I think Mobius was the first person that believed in Loki’s goodness and gave him that freedom to express who he really is. Thor said multiple times that Loki could be better, could be more, but I don’t think even Thor ever really expected Loki to change. I think Loki’s interactions with Mobius gave him that freedom he never had to become gentler and more open throughout the series than he had a chance to be in the movies.

It’s true that I don’t think Mobius taught Loki how to care about people, I think Mobius was ultimately the first person that allowed Loki to just be, to express his trust and friendship without any expectations or judgement. Mobius transformed Loki’s views on how much someone is allowed to show of themselves and still be respected. Mobius said ‘you can trust me, you can be yourself, you can show me gentleness, and I will never mock you for it.’ I just don’t think Loki ever had anyone like that before and he never learned how to express his care before he met Mobius. Even if you don’t think they have romantic feelings for each other, Mobius clearly had a transformative impact on Loki’s sense of self, which Loki displays in his affection toward Mobius and interactions with other characters going forward.

#ask answered #thoughts-theories #loki-us blog #Lokius #but also just musings on how Mobius changed Loki #Loki cares about Mobius #and romantic or not #he learned how to express that from the one person #who never gave him anything but validation comfort support trust and acceptance

[piyo13sdoodles]

been on a bit of a frostiron kick recently... i think the versions of them that have been enshrined into fic from 2012 are just so neat

#frostiron #iron man #marvel loki #tony stark #like i think when they're written well they're just!!!! really compelling characters #i love tony's arc of like. being a rich fuckboy who cares about nothing and then realizing how much he should care AND ACTING ON IT #and deceptive god who wanted to die and wasn't allowed to and just #idk i think people being rehabilitated from being awful is fun to play with and the fact that they're both super smart is just!! fun #i like them/// #loki #marvel #also no references were used this is my mind's eye's interpretation of them sorry if it's wildly inaccurate lmao

[nostalgia-tblr]

It's time for me to admit something.

I am still a bit confused about how back in the beginning of the Loki series Mobius is introduced to us as "special[ising] in the pursuit of dangerous Variants." But like. That doesn't seem to be a thing that the TVA really... do? They mostly seem to spot nexus events and pop to the new branch and prune it, bringing back the person who caused that nexus event to give them a show-trial and then prune them too.

There's no reason they can't do more than one thing, but what exactly are "dangerous variants"? From the TVA perspective they're all equally troublesome, and they'll be picked up as soon as they do something 'wrong', and the TVA/HWR don't actually care about the moral value or otherwise of that 'wrong' thing. Have I got that right?

They're chasing Sylvie but a) she's targeting the TVA themselves and b) she's got a means to travel from one timeline to another, which she got from the TVA and unless those get stolen a lot..

I'm willing to just roll with it anyway if it doesn't really fit but what am I missing here? EXPLAIN. (pls?)

#loki series #this has been bothering me for a while but nobody else ever asks about it so i assume i've just missed some crucial info here? #and so to me it's been like the Dangerous Variants stuff is a leftover from some earlier draft of the story? #one of what i consider the Fandom Misconceptions is the idea that the TVA/Mobius actually care that TVA!Loki's been a bad boy. #but they don't! he was *supposed* to be a bad boy so actually he wasn't doing anything wrong as they'd see it (until he ran off) #the guilt-tripping clip-show is just to break *this* Loki and tame him enough that they can use him to catch the *other* Loki #but then even with this i am at odds with much of the fandom? who do see mobius as trying to help Loki from the outset #but like... the TVA are not in the business of redemption arcs! what does mobius plan to do if they do catch the Bad Variant together? #what great reward lies in wait for the now-surplus Loki he brought in to catch the one they were actually having problems with? #because i suspect very much that the longer-term plan for TVA!Loki involved a nice euphemistic word like “pruning” #what's going on what am i missing why am i over here watching a series that seems to be far more fucked-up than other peoples?

[flightlaw]

It's a good ending for the MCU. It's a terrible ending for Loki.

I hate it I hate it I hate it.

#Loki season 2 #Loki #mcu Loki #he's alone #forever #just watching #and Mobius doesn't belong anywhere either #Loki is literally all I care about now #everyone else is dead #except Peter #and we don't talk about that #he didn't want a throne #he didn't want to be alone #and that's exactly what he got #I hate it

[ha-youwish]

I’ve seen you in the asking circles of tumblr.

So here’s an ask back: who’s the silliest billy person in twewy?

i think minamimoto is silly even though he's not trying to be. he gets crushed by a vending machine. hes a looney toons character. the man never deviates from the math bit. its not even a bit to him he's just Like That. he basically speaks math as a whole separate language. every word our of his mouth is simultaneously hilarious and frustrating, which makes it funnier.

#ppl ask me things #lokis-sword #i also think beat is pretty silly #hes such a dude. such a bro. what a guy. #nothing going on in there except the love he has for the people he cares about #everything just flies over his head #twewy

[worstloki]

Thor sweating as he tries to get Odin off him about marriage to Lady Sif: I--I already have a woman I intend to marry!!!!! Thor: [covers mouth in regret] Odin: Oh? And who might it be? Thor: [muffled] an... elf? Odin, narrowing his eyes: ...an elf. Thor: she's from another realm, you wouldn't know her!

#Odin: ...right. I don't believe you. We're marrying you off to Sif within the year. #Thor: BUT MY BELLE!!! #Odin: don't care didn't ask #a week later The Dark Elf attack happens and Thor lauds it over Odin for the 2 seconds he has before running off to commit treason #like 'see what's happened now that you broke my engagement with my beautiful elf woman???????' #instead of arguing over their mother's death when jane is asleep thor asks loki for advice about finding an elf bride quickly #loki laughs at him by the way and is no help at all. he just keeps laughing at thor's predicament #and then dies so that's no use for thor at all

[unapologeticallytheworst]

Guys it's okay for an ending to be sad.

#Loki #(more nuanced conversation in the notes) #loki season 2 #loki spoilers #I really don't wanna talk about this #But like just because something is melancholic #Doesn't mean it can't be beautiful #And if you're upset about your ship #That's not the story they were telling #It was about Loki's growth as a person #It doesn't matter if his feelings towards Mobius #Or Sylvie were romantic/sexual/platonic/familial #What mattered was that he cared #That he loves them #All of them #I'm not saying don't ship things #Make all of it! enjoy all of it! #That's the best part of fan works #You get to have your cake and eat it to!

Does Loki/Brad have a ship name? Asking for a friend 👀

#lord pleas forgive me I know I’m about to start shipping them #I can’t fucking believe I made it this far in the show and the only people I remotely ship loki with #are x-5 and the stewardess from episode one 😭 #it’s just like #brad is such a petty asshole and he’s not rly a villain he just values his own freedom/self preservation over everything else #and he doesn’t care if he hurts ppl to maintain it & he lashes out verbally when he feels cornered and he’s sarcastic and glamorous and and #does that remind you of anyone else we know? #brad is literally loki minus a tiny bit of the character growth #I actually love them together #and I hope Brad sticks around and becomes a member of the team #and he and loki end up being besties #gah #brad wolfe #hunter x-5 #loki #loki meta #kinda #Loki series #loki 2x02 #loki spoilers #loki season 2 spoilers #breaking brad
