"But Lokius isn't even canon! Stop making everything gay!"
...
The Loki series isn't just about romantic relationships and shouldn't be seen as so. However, there is a lot of subtext. Maybe this ship is not canon, but it was intended to be seen as so by the fans.
If Lokius isn't canon, then why were the last two shots of the series showing Mobius and Loki?
If Lokius isn't canon, why would there be so much touching and scenes so physically close to one another? (believe me I know they're friends. that just offers a solid base for something more)
If Lokius isn't canon, why is there an OFFICIAL track named like that?
Why is said track played or incorporated in different scenes of the series? like
-the first McDonalds meeting with Sylvie,
-the back-in-time conversation with Kang
- the ASCENSION to the throne?
Why is the Sylvie and Loki kiss never mentioned, by the producers, in the series per se, or even in the season 1 recap?
Why is Mobius the only one looking at Loki when he leaves down to the temporal loom?
And the other way around, why did Loki only make eye contact with Mobius in that scene?
Why is Mobius the only one to notice there is something wrong when Loki is still trying to fix the Loom?
Why did Mobius/Don on the original timeline, mention he's single, trust a complete stranger, invite him for a drink, AND offer to sell him a quite personal jet-ski?
Why did Loki, the LITERAL GOD OF MISCHIEF stutter and fix his hair and coat for no one else but Mobius (who by the way is just a jetski salesman on that timeline)?
Why is the timeslipping Loki had to go through directed to Mobius twice, him being the the only one he doesn't need a TemPad to "recruit"?
Why would Loki bring up Thor and Jane if it wasn't to mirror him and Mobius? (because, as he already was talking to Sylvie, he certainly wasn't implying it's about her. They were arguing, AND Mobius was implied in the conversation. Loki defended him in front of Sylvie, in case you forgot.)
Why would Mobius's voice be the one to echo back to Loki on his throne? let time pass time pass time pass
Why the RAINBOW?
WHY DID LOKI LOOK AT MOBIUS RIGHT BEFORE THE FAMOUS LINE "IT'S ABOUT WHO"? (important mention: Sylvie was behind him when he said that. why didn't he just turn around when saying it? nope, they know what they're doing)
Why is the shot cut to Mobi after Loki's "it was more about what I wanted" line?
Why the shot where 7 characters could've been showed (Mobius, Loki, Sylvie, B-15, Casey, O.B., Victor Timely) there are only 2: Mobius and Loki?
Why is Mobius the only one to tell Loki he can be someone good, and the first one Loki actually believes despite his tendency to do the other way around in the past?
Why does Mobius finally find insight, and reinvent his whole life at the TVA because Loki helped him do so? (they're not even the first Loki variant he faced, but something clicked this time)
Why does the bloody sleeve, representing Loki being hurt by Sylvie just because he "wore his heart on his sleeve" disappear on episode 2? (because he finally understands who he needs to be next to)
Why did Mobius risk his life on the first episode?
Why did Loki go to past Mobius for the final advice, not to the present one, not to Sylvie?
Why did Loki ultimately sacrifice his life for the ones he loves?
And why is Mobius left alone, with the door locked, after Loki leaves in the Loom's radiation?
Why would there be so much endearing looks, and smiles at each other, if not for a conscious acting choice?
Why why why why why if it isn't canon?
Nothing is for nothing. Especially in television, where everything counts from the light to the angles and the way the lines are spoken.
We don't need to see two characters kiss to know they are made for one another. In fact, I think implied canon is so much better for now, because it leaves free interpretation for the fans, and nothing to strike on for the haters.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the ending is still tragic, although it holds its sweet from bittersweet. But remember: there aren't tragedies without love.
warnings: mention of blood, mentions of periods, extremely bad period pain.
lokis fiancé has always struggled with her endometriosis, the pain leading her every month to passing out, throwing up or sometimes even in hospital and he dreaded knowing there was nothing he could do, but he finds a way.
this is for all my endometriosis girlies , as someone who has it themselves I wish it was spoke about more and that doctors didn't neglet it so much, getting forced to go on the pill and never given a remedy since 10yrs old is a horrible experience. My heart goes out to you all. If you'd like more like this, maybe small headshots of him looking after you in hospital or how he reacts when you faint, then please send requests or comment x
Loki's pov
I had arrived late from the mission I had so desperately been trying to get back from after seeing the 4 missed calls and 18 text messages left from my fiancé. I couldn't check the messages, being in a jet so high up there was only little WiFi, which was all being used by stark, so I sat in the back anxiously, merely muttering a word as i begged the trusted gods above me to keep her safe before I get to her.
I knocked gently before bursting into our bedroom, I was frantic and worried, adrenaline rushing through my veins before I stilled, seeing her lay on the bed, curled around a hot water bottle. Her face was flushed red, and her teeth were gritted. Her hair was a mess, and the blankets her tangled around her. The pill bottle on the side was empty, and the sickbowl on the other was not.
"heya dove..."
I whisper, slowly coming up beside the bed, pulling down some of the blanket that covered her pale but flustered face teasingly before sitting beside her, bringing her weak form in my arms and kissing her forehead.
"is it your cramps?"
I whisper again, running my hands through her knotted hair, untangling it gently.
She nods slowly against my chest, finally looking up at me so I could see her entire face. It was tearburnt and swollen.
"Oh darling..."
I take her face in my hands, rubbing her cheek softly with my thumb. I lift her up, bringing her further into my lap and wrapping my arms around her waist as they find her lower abdomen, I massage the area gently while kissing her neck.
"This good?"
I mumble and she nods again, leaning against my chest. I felt the guilt twist in my stomach that I wasn't able to get here earlier during her flare up, I was proud she managed to find her medication and get herself a sickness bowl, but the thought of her having to do all that while in absolute agony, then to be sick without me to hold her hair and rub her stomach, i never wanted to leave her side again.
"I was fine."
I hear her croak out.
"I don't always need my knight in shining armour my love, I know how to take care of myself."
I let a sigh of relief before kissing her neck, still massaging her lower stomach.
"I know princess, I just worry."
She chuckles, turning her head up to kiss my lips, then laying between my legs, her head resting on my chest, humming as I eased the tension in her belly.
It didn't take long for her fall asleep on top of me, and not long for myself either once switching off the crystal lamp beside us.
your pov 2:27am
I sat up, taking in the shadows of darkness that surrounded me as I reached across my lover's body to turn on the bedside lamp.
my hand flies to my mouth as I let out a groan of pain, not at all wanting to wake loki up, then slipping out of his embrace towards the bathroom until I realised the sheets and my brand new baby-pink nightgown.
'shit shit shit'
I mutter, stood in the middle of the dimly lit room, clutching onto my stomach as tears begin to well in my eyes.
I cover my mouth with both my hands now, pressing hard to stop the sobs escaping. The pain was unbearable as I held onto my dresser, my new gown and sheets were stained crimson, loki layed right next to the mess on our mattress, I had no medication left and I would not make it down the stairs to make myself a bottle.
wake him up.
I kept telling myself, but I couldn't bring myself to do so.
Before I could act upon a single thought, however, a wave of nausea crashed over me as the pain stabbed at my stomach, feeling as if my uterus was collapsing in on itself. I desperately ran to the toilet, holding onto the seat and puking into the bowl. My stomach churned and tightened as I gagged.. another meal rising up my throat.
Every spiralling worry stopped when I felt his hands run through my hair, pulling it out my face and using the band that was in just in his hair to tie mine in a tight ponytail.
He knelt beside me, rubbing my back and whispering things I couldn't make sense of at the moment with the pain still cursing me.
"Loki..."
I sob, gagging over the toilet but not being sick.
He continued rubbing, kissing my head and making sure I'm sat comftable, I didn't even realise how he had put me in his lap.
"nghh.."
I groan, holding onto my stomach, my hands gripping and the area and pulling and pushing, I didn't know what I was doing but I just wanted the pain off... I couldn't bare it...
"Lokiiiiii"
I groan again, my voice strained in pain.
"P...please"
My voice cracks, tears spilling down my cheeks. Once he realised my scratching hands, he pulled them away slowly, replacing them with his own and massaging again.
I let out a whimper of pain.
"Shhh shh shh... trust me my darling, just relax"
He coos, rocking me side to side in his arms.
My eyes suddenly widen as I feel his palms heat up to the perfect temputure as he continues kneeding my skin.
I whine, leaning against him, the pain fading with every movement of his huge hands that now had mine wrapped around them. He dosent stop, just whispering words of affirmation in my ears and swaying me with himself as my eyes began to flutter shut, my body finally feeling at ease and calm.
"That's it..."
I hear him whisper as he lifts me in his arms, hands still on my belly..
"You're okay love, ive got you"
He says as he lies me in a bed, the sheets changed and fresh, and a new nightgown dressing my body with the flash of a small green light.
How he does it I will never know but I do know that him, and his mother's parenting, will always be there to guide me through terrible nights like this.
"I love you Lo..." I whisper as I feel my body sink into the mattress and a kiss on my lips, large arms wrapping around my waist.
"I love you more, my darling.."
He replies with another kiss, then turns the lamp off, keeping his hands on my abdomen throughout the early morning till dawn.
- black jeans that hug that ass just right, paired with a snake belt buckle
- black leather boots with either Norse runes or snakes in the detailing, and they have a little bit of a heel, they make that satisfying clacking sound that heels make when you walk on a hard surface
- he smells like the forest, his breath has a faint hint of whiskey, and there’s a little bit a stubble on his chiseled jaw
- I need him to call me darlin’ and buy me a drink
I also need to go to sleep if I want to get to class on time tomorrow. Goodnight, I hope we all dream of Loki tonight.
Okay maybe a tie with seeing Tom (he’s real he’s real!!) is meeting fans! I made two friends last night while waiting in the queue to get in to the screening and it was so incredible! There is truly nothing like letting your Loki/Tom freak flag fly high in the company of those who completely understand!! Healing! Redeeming! It’s like Tumblr X100!
Tom left my heart in shambles with this one. I don’t have any brain cells functioning so I won’t edit this video or my blurry pictures lol 😂 but I hope you give a listen to his “melodic baritone” of a voice and his gorgeous telling of how Elliot’s Four Quartets directly influenced the resolution of Loki’s character arc. I slipped way down in my seat at this point. 😳🥵😌🥹🤯😭😭😭
I’m just so thankful for this man. I was sending little psychic messages of praise his way. He’s such a deeply committed human being, his continued and enduring excellence and excitement for Loki shined through last night! I was in awe!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
