The exact same scene, and yet an entire lifetime apart. There is no better illustration of the profoundly transformative impact Mobius had on Loki’s character from the beginning to the end of his show.

In the first episode, Loki’s posture is stiff, cold, abrasive, unyielding. His arms are crossed to shield his body and distance himself from everyone around him. He neither trusts nor is trusted by anyone. He sees every interaction as a game to be won, an exercise only in manipulation and deceit. In the final episode, Loki’s posture is open, genuine, relaxed, attentive. He faces Mobius fully, leans forward to give his full attention. The scenes are brilliantly shot to put distance between Loki and everyone else in 1x1 and changes to close-ups in 2x6 to illustrate that personal connection, to show how much more open and intimate and sincere they are with each other. Mobius has taught him to trust and be trustworthy, to value the advice and wisdom of his dearest friend. He no longer deflects, attacks, or hides himself, he seeks Mobius’ comfort and opinion and thanks him for everything Mobius has done for him.

Loki returns to the beginning a truly changed person and that is what gave him the strength to accept his burden in the end.

EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK!!! I want to be coherent about this season but please picture me foaming at the mouth and running on the walls. S2 being what if Mark's just like his Dad? Insanity. I love this show. Anyways, AU where an Evil!Mark tries to make Our!Mark worse, and Our!Mark tries to make the other better. Something something confronting your idea of the worst version of oneself. Plus, tweaked black and yellow costume because I saw it and immediately went murder hornet lookin' ass and knew I had to draw it. Evil ass Mark. Horrible. I think he should be dragged kicking and screaming into redemption.

#mark and the fact he is fighting for this fucking life to avoid the Many Bad Endings???? im pacing. getting out the red string. #when the season is about who you are and what you could become. when trying to be good is an active choice and a struggle. #RAHHHHHHHHHHH #chewing on the bars of my enclosure...when every mark is evil OUR mark is the outlier. the exception. the OTHER. RAHHHH #dog poetry being mark poetry because how often can you kick a dog before it starts snarling before you raise your hand? #how often can you beat it before it rips into you without mercy? when it bites not at your hand but at your neck? #when does violence for survival and violence for vengeance start and end? when your opponent is down and you keep drawing blood? #circling and pacing and losing my mind over this btw if you care #anyways self vs self gets me going crazy. did you know i loved the end of atsv? because it shows. #i think o!mark would lose his fucking mind at what evil wasp looking mark has done + this mf wasp would LOATHE mark's kindness #they both see the other as the WORST version of themselves and they can't stand it. They can't shatter the mirror but they think they can-- #--change the reflection. #evil mark seeing mark and seeing what he USED to be #mark seeing what he COULD be #CAN U SEE THE VISION?????? #digital art #invincible rotating in my mind #invincible fanart #fanart #mark my beloved #mark grayson fanart #mark grayson #invincible s2 #invincible show #mark like hello this is my secret twin and he is NOTHING like me hahahaha anyways wanna debate about having mORALS and LIFE #mark grayson vs the urge not to accept every responsibility as his own #he's batman coded that way #ok im done yapping #if this happened in the comics in any way shape or form dont tell me JACK SHIT or i will PUMMEL YOU with my SHOES

Is it just me or does the new Good Omens 2 poster look a little like the summoning circle that Aziraphale has in his bookshop. Is has some of the same symbology and everything….

Hiya! :) Oh yes! :)

will shoveling four grains of sand + being the only one other than an injured el to not help flip the car until the very end + barely helping to set up cerebro + barely stirring the pizza dough freezer bath + wanting to commit fraud so that he never has to work ..... literally the character of all time everyone else go home

#prayer circle that he achieves his childhood dream of being a trophy husband tht gets to play video games n do art all day 🙏 #will 'are you going to help or are you too pretty?' 'i'm too pretty :)' byers #and in s2 when he's drawing he leaves joyce n mike to figure his map out he jus sits there all adorably possessed . like literally ok #**thank u ella elekinetic for reminding me of the pizza freezer hehe

I love this concept art of Silco cos he legitimately looks like a teen/young adult here.

He’s wearing jewelry!

And he’s got this vest that looks very punk-like, seemingly with nothing underneath.

exactly like how jinx wears her top asdfghjk

I can’t explain how funny and wholesome it is to me that Silco also had a punk phase during his younger years, it’s so unlike his adult self but so incredibly Jinx-coded

I need to see teen punk Silco in s2 flashback NOW

thinking about meryl’s camera, and how the picture in ep 12 was most likely taken by wolfwood, and how she keeps the camera close by in the car, just beside the radio, the cigarettes and the deringer

#;-; #meryl stryfe #nicholas d wolfwood #vash the stampede #roberto #trigun #trigun spoilers #trigun stampede #trigun stampede spoilers #mine #gif:trigun #hope we get to see her take more pictures in s2 #tagging it with #mashwood #bc of reasons #the first screenshot is from ep 7 when was the only time i could find with her taking a picture with it #also i keep thinking about her new earrings.. something something mix between vash's circle earring and wolfwood's cross.. all in one..

Honestly the Loki show has only one thing going for it which is the dynamic between Mobius and Loki.

If they are eventually gonna split them up they better start writing something that's actually compelling or the show is doomed frr

#loki #loki series #lokius #loki s2 #loki season 2 #mobius #loki x mobius #or maybe treat sylvie like a character?!? mayhaps an important character which she actually is apparently?? #maybe give her some emotional depth and let her express more than two emotions while they are at it?! #ive sont seen the latest episode but it seems to me like they are running around in circles and the only reason its working is... #because its Loki and Mobius doing the running #*not

Questioning the Questioner

Blocking in Scenes in S2: No. 1

Since I'm procrastinating a bit on the meta writing for various reasons (its happening, but slowly,) why don't I throw some short pieces on S2 blocking at you. Here's a related parallel pair.

As always, we need to remember that the screen right is the morally right angelic side, and the screen left is the shady demonic side.

Here we have Aziraphale's initial questioning of Gabriel upon his arrival in the bookshop. Gabriel is on the screen right of Aziraphale, so takes the moral angel side, while Aziraphale sits on the demonic left side of the screen. Aziraphale is asking most of the questions in this scene, so it seems the right place to be. Both of them are in the light, though, there are no shadows here for these two angels.

But notice the balance of the setting - Gabriel is more towards the middle of the shot, and is placed over the centre of the rug. This turns out to be no accident, but a very particular placement.

You might be familiar with the portal under the oculus, which turns out to be part of a Solomon's Magic Circle. But there is a side part to this array, which is placed exactly where the office section of the bookshop is, which can be used to summon and control both angels and demons. It's a place where the truth is demanded. It's just a shame that Gabriel can't seem to remember the answers to the questions that need to be answered.

The second screenshot in this pair is part of the "cupperty" sequence.

In comparison to the above screenshot, we have Muriel looking at her "cupperty" while conversing with a combined Aziraphale and Crowley team in S2E3. I did a more detailed meta around the tea here, but let us just address Crowley nearly sitting in Aziraphale's lap the dynamics of the moment.

Muriel, an angel, is sitting on the screen right. They are all in heavenly white, and there is even a beam of light focused on her cupperty. They have come to ask questions to verify the 25 lazurii miracle that was performed the other night.

On the other side, the screen left, we have Aziraphale and Crowley sitting together as one. As they sit in the shadows, they act as a team, Crowley asking questions to Muriel with a teasing kind of playfulness while Aziraphale tries to coach her on - both things Crowley the demon is known to do.

And how do we know this a significant shadow? The windows are on the east side of the shop, and its morning, just before Aziraphale heads off to Edinburgh. Also we have also just seen some of the side characters conversing in the coffee shop while ordering their morning coffee.

We have the same two chairs being used as well. Muriel sits on the ladder chair this time, while the more experienced angel/demon pair occupy the more comfortable lounge chair that is still positioned on the Magic Triangle.

We even have hot beverages in play. Gabriel's hot chocolate is more about comfort, while the cups of tea are about establishing a connection to Earth.

I fully believe that contact between henry and the kids is lost because of Hero and Normal. Like there is no way itwasn’t

A lot of times Toxic behaviors of grandparents become more noticeable to parents once their children get pulled into the mix. I think the reverse happened. Henry is treated like shit by both of his kids, for his entire experience as a parent and he just loves them. That makes them hate him more.

Then Normal who is so full of love despite everything that must have squashed Hero’s. And he sees the annoyance and anger, and he fucking snaps. Cause Normal and Henry are the same part of the cycle. Nothing they do will ever be enough.

No matter how much Lark and Sparrow love Normal. They are Barry in the scenario. They are continuing the cycle from Barry’s position. Nothing either of their kids do will ever be enough. Hero can never be strong enough, Normal can never be Normal enough. Henry could never be good enough.

For Lark, For Sparrow, For Barry.

It doesn’t matter if they love their kids (Bill loved Glenn, that still went to shit) and with the way Lark and Sparrow have acted in every episode.

It never will
