the best part about mobius is that he is the first person in loki's life to just roll along with his dramatics. until that point in his life, every person has met loki's outbursts with equal force. but when loki and mobius first meet, loki proceeds to say i'll burn this place to the ground, i'll kill you, and mobius just goes along, says if you do burn it down, start with my desk with a friendly smile.
he is the only person to have ever interacted with loki that knew the first rule of improv: to just "yes, and" the most unhinged drivel some theater nerd won't stop monologing on about in order to get through your day with sanity intact.

Hey, so with the Loki season two finale airing in like four days, a show featuring a currently heavily implied romance between a dark haired immortal being who played a role in human history searching for his purpose and a just some blond guy—I feel like marvel has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever, three years and four days after destiel was made canon and promptly executed on live television.

I feel like debating who Loki was talking to when he said "For You" in the last episode, is missing the point of the scene. And people referring to it as "cowardly" and a "no-homo" moment is just?? Baffling to me tbh because like;
First of all, it is obviously intended to be to both of them? If they only wanted to make it about Sylvie, Mobius wouldn't be there. If they only wanted to make it about Mobius, Sylvie wouldn't be there. If they wanted to make it about everyone they would've just framed it more equally, he does do it for all his friends ("for all of us"), but they have that scene to highlight these two specific relationships. The framing is quite clear, they have him take a last look at all of his friends before going down the stairs, but Mobius and Sylvie runs after him to have a final significant moment.
Which absolutely makes sense and is consistent with the show we have seen so far, s1 and s2 combined, which is what I love about it. And it was to be honest a surprise! Going into this season, I had little hope for Loki/Mobius interactions, just didn't want to expect too much since S1 had a lot of their connection, but that could've been it. I was shocked when s2ep1 was full to the brim with Loki and Mobius scenes? And then they kept reinforcing every week that they care about each other, is a funny duo to watch, and are important to one another.
And despite this, I expected the rug to at some point be pulled, especially compared to Loki's relationship to Sylvie. No matter people's personal viewing on the show, she is still cited as a love interest by showrunners and is just portrayed as that by the narrative a lot of the time. Sidelining that, even in s2 when the romantic hints are more vague, she's still a very important person in Loki's life. She played a central part of the plot and Loki's own character development of understanding himself.
So to me, I was surprised seeing Mobius and Sylvie side by side in the end. Both being framed as The important people in Loki's life. Then, however you wanna see in what ways they are important is up to you, but they are the people he keeps coming back to for advice and self-reflection. You can frame it as "oh it should've been only been Mobius and they added Sylvie to downplay it", which, I just disagree with (If they wanted to go for explicitly canon Lokius they needed to set that up even more earlier in the season but that's a post for another day). Sylvie is still like, a constant in the narrative and driving force of s1, even if s2 changes things around a bit, and imo it would be inconsistent if she just vanished here. I guess I am used to media that downplays a meaningful dynamic between two dudes in more aggressive ways, which they absolutely could've done, and would've taken me out of the story to be honest... but they didn't, Mobius and Sylvie got to be side by side in the end and that imo validated the Loki/Mobius dynamic way more than downplays it.
TLDR; The "For you" was for both Mobius and Sylvie because why would you frame it that way otherwise, and having them side by side like that validates Lokius way more than downplays it in a "no-homo" way considering the full context of the show.

Immortal, genderfluid, dramatic-goth, supernatural snake-boi's (gn) trying not to cry is something so personal
2023 is going to END me it turns out
(one scene did considerably more emotional damage but they are both so pretty when they cry)

sylvie screaming as she blasts magic into loki on the ferris wheel. how her shoulder slams into the door when his magic hits her, her emotions running too high to fight back properly the way she has for centuries. her machete shaking as she clenches and unclenches her fist, her voice shaking as she says this is all very familiar, isn’t it. taking steps forward and backward. she cannot let herself stay still, it is all too much, to be rehashing the same fight that drove her and loki apart from her life’s mission. the desperation in i can’t let him live. you think i want to kill him? she asks. you think it brings me pleasure? after her knees buckled underneath her when she killed He Who Remains the first time, after she realized it wasn’t going to ease the pain, why would he think she wants to do it all over again? she sticks by her moral compass as long as she can, doing what she swore she had to in order to ensure the world would have the free will she was denied, until she can’t. until she sees victor begging for his life, begging for a chance to become someone the timeline didn’t decree. and in that she sees herself, her tiny body being grabbed by ravonna and thrown into the TVA, for a crime she has yet to commit. only then can sylvie back away from her single-minded purpose that has kept her burning for so long, and she doesn’t trust herself not to change her mind. it was tactical to say get him away, because at any moment she might realize the gravity of abandoning her life’s work and change her mind. don’t make me regret this is her final warning to loki, who doesn’t bother trying to persuade her to come with him after seeing how firmly she claims to want nothing to do with him. one last lingering look between them.

I know some people are really happy about Verity making it into the Loki show... but like... none of her character is there. She's supposed to be Loki’s best friend and the loki show just took her name and slapped into onto a preexisting character for the easter egg. I love B-15, but she’s the cop that brought Loki in, and has no special interactions with him outside of that, it doesn't make sense.

going absolutely feral at the despair in his eyes. The realization that he actually hurt thor and now there's no going back from this. Yeah they hit each other a bit before this but that was all sparring. Normal stuff. But this time Loki didn't follow the rules of a clean fight. It's dirty and he knows it is.
He hurt Thor, but he hurt Thor. There is no coming back from that. He was already starting to cry when Thor said they could fix it together, but hurting thor, stabbing Thor is what sends him over the edge. Putting that knife in Thor was like putting that knife inside himself. He would have preferred it that way.
