I had a dream last night where Lokius watched the Cars movies together because they were Mobius' favorite movies

Lokius Top 10 Songs (for now)

Inspired by @loki-is-my-kink-awakening, I occupied the background of my brain this week by trying to pick out the ten songs I would choose for Lokius. It was more difficult than I expected!

Song list below!

“Hold On, I’m Comin’” - Sam & Dave

Don’t have to worry, ‘cause I’m here/ No need to suffer, baby, ‘cause I’m here/ Just hold on, I’m comin’

“Can’t Fight This Feeling” - REO Speedwagon

What started out as friendship has grown stronger/ I only wish I had the strength to let it show

“that way” - Tate McRae

But friends don’t look at friends that way/ Friends don’t look at friends that way

“Dancing On My Own” - Calum Scott

I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her/ And I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the guy you’re taking home

“Have A Little Faith In Me” - Delbert McClinton

You see time, time, is our friend/ ‘Cause for us there is no end/ And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

“multiverse” - Maya Manuela, PEMBROKE

Somewhere in the multiverse/ There’s a you and me that works

“Fall Into Me” - Forest Blakk

The day I met you the world had just spit me out/ On my way to the bottom, sure I’d never be found/ Then you saw me for me, made me believe in myself

“For Good” - Lee Lessack, Stephen Schwartz

And now whatever way our stories end/ I know you have rewritten mine/ By being my friend

“You Are The Best Thing” - Ray LaMontagne

We’ve come a long way, baby/ You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me/ When I say this love will never fade away

“Make It Out” - Boundary Run

I will hold this house up with my own two hands/ So you can make it out

For the hug prompt

17, Loki / Mobius

15, Alex / Henry

(Now taking a little fandom break—thanks for the Lokius prompt! I will circle back to the firstprince one later. This is a little season 2-set moment. read all the hug ficlets)

17: The hug where they have their other hand rubbing circles on your back, kisses littering your hair, words of comfort on the tip of their tongue.

Most loops, Loki doesn’t have time to let the reality of what he’s continuously experiencing sink in. He’s got a job to do and far too much to learn, so no matter how many times he fails, no matter how many times he watches his friends—this small collection of people he’s come to care so much about—simply disintegrate, he keeps his head up and keeps going. There’s no other option, really.

Occasionally, though, the accumulated damage to his psyche that such things inflict catches up with him. Occasionally, Loki time slips somewhere into the past he doesn’t intend to, as if his mind is giving him an enforced break. Once, after a particularly troubling iteration in which he and Mobius somehow ended up in a yelling match before Mobius stubbornly insisted on getting himself spaghettified, his control of the slipping, well, slips and he ends up in the TVA archives at some unknown time.

He was at his wit’s end when he started slipping, and once his body comes to rest he falls to his knees and lets out a frustrated yell, then collapses forward onto his hands, breathing heavily. The release makes him feel marginally better, so that’s something. It doesn’t do much to help the ache in his chest, though, the hole being slowly carved out every time he watches his friends die. Tears still sting in his eyes, and he squeezes them shut hard in an attempt to make himself get a bloody grip.

Another moment, and he’ll time slip more purposefully, to sometime when he’ll be able to be useful. Hopefully.

Before he can collect himself, though, a familiar cadence of footsteps echoes through the empty archives. Loki’s about to slip anytime else, because either this Mobius won’t know him or he’ll be too familiar, and Loki’s not sure he can take either right now. He doesn’t quite manage it before Mobius rounds the corner, his eyes going wide.

“Loki? What are you— Oh, what’s wrong?”

And Loki shatters. It’s too soon, he wasn’t prepared, and he’s hit the end of his rope. Because this Mobius knows him—more than that, he’s got that look on his face, the one that Loki’s been trying to ignore, the one that says that Loki means more than he should to him. The one he’d had on his face when he refused to let Loki venture out into the time loom, the one that rends tears in Loki’s resolve, even though he’s doing all of this for Mobius.

For all of them, of course. But it would be stupid to pretend that Mobius isn’t special, and Loki’s not stupid.

Mobius moves more quickly than he expects, dropping to his knees beside Loki and wordlessly tugging him into a breathlessly tight hug. And Loki goes, lets Mobius wrap his arms around his shoulders and tug him against his chest, lets the emotion wash through him for once instead of burying it deep down where no one can touch it. He’s not sure how long they sit there on the floor of the archives, Mobius rubbing comforting circles between his shoulder blades and murmuring promises that it’ll be ok— promises that he certainly can’t keep—into Loki’s hair.

It doesn’t really matter how long, anyway. For once, Loki lets himself have this moment of comfort, and knows that these minutes in Mobius’ arms will sustain him for a few hundred more attempts, at least.

MARISSA’S 5K FOLLOWER CELEBRATION ↳ @steveroger asked: favourite marvel movie?

Thor dir. Kenneth Branagh

[benchythebanana]

I created a little comic strip inspired by an Arcane scene from season 2. In my first watch, I interpreted Sky's dialogue as referencing the fact that she is a bystander in Viktor's life, even if she tried differently, he still didn't acknowledge her as much as she desired. We didn't even see him read her notebook in season 2? I was shocked at how much attention they gave it. It seemed like it was going to symbolize their relationship, Viktor recognizing her, etc. Now I wonder if it was meant to demonstrate how devoid their bond was that he didn't even have the capacity to read and act upon her studies. Instead, they'd both rather live in an almost fantasy-like dimension where they could likely ignore all problems and focus on "healing" others. Just a thought I may be delusionally searching for more because I am sad the show ended LOL.

surprisingly, viktor is quite the hugger. Only jayce knows this, of course.

PARTNER??? DID MOBIUS JUST CALL LOKI HIS PARTNER??? even gwen clocked him im so😭😭😭

[benchythebanana]

Does this mean Loki's most recent memories of his friends are of them in fear, both at watching the temporal loom fail, and also at watching him walk out? Do you think when Loki closes his eyes, he sees the faces of Mobius and Sylvie and how they begged for him to stay at the air lock? Or maybe when he turned around, saw all of his friends watching him, knowing he'll never come back. :(
