LOKI S2 EP4 SPOILERS‼️

Does Marvel actually know what they’re suggesting here…? Are they aware of the explicit implications of this very shot? Do they know I am losing my mind every week because of shit like this??

[aguademelon047]

Started season two of Loki I haven’t been queerbaited like this since I watched BBC Sherlock

[kookiecamera]

Please please please can we get the three of them in more scenes together. Marvel I am in your walls😳

I know everyone is obsessed with loki and mobius (me included, this whole show was them) but I wanna address how good the show handed Loki and sylvie’s relationship.

I was very wary in the first season because of the whole “she’s different because she’s a Girl” and the forced romance between them, but it has grown to mean something entirely different in season 2.

She’s not different because she’s a girl loki or whatever, she’s different because she’s the only loki that just wants a life. She’s not burdened with glorious purpose or a tragic ending, she doesn’t even want her powers, she just wants to be.

And I think loki’s obsession with her is related to that, he’s fascinated by how different she is, he wants that but he realizes he can��t, through his relationship with Mobius that they both want a purpose, they want their life to mean something, to be able to protect what they love and believe in.

And marvel finally got the guts to not make the forced heterosexuality happen, they could have made him profess his love before his sacrifice but they didn’t, in the end his story is his alone.

They could never be together, they don’t want the same lives, but they still care and love each other in their own messy way.

On a side note

GOD it hurts me so much that Loki and Mobius are basically soulmates, they are so happy living with each other, they work so well together and in the end they couldn’t be together because they needed to fulfill their responsibilities, their purposes, even if that means not getting what they want for their lives.

[catwouthats]

Lokius is not queerbait because queerbait does not have this much symbolism and cinematography supporting it.

In the least it will be queercoding and they will say Disney didn’t let them.

[angelwiththeblue-box]

i hate that they had sylvie yell at mobius for little reason instead of giving us a fun little scene where we can explicitly see their dynamic as a trio (which would be so good MARVEL) and having something lighthearted before all the shit coming-

im not saying i could do better but i think i could do better

[hysterical-mess]

As I mentioned earlier, I'm watching Loki for the first time and let me just say- Loki and Sylvie are high-key making me question my sexuality

[lokiusly]

delulu hours: if lokius were to be the steggy of this multiverse saga, what would be THE song that plays at the end?

[scribe-of-hael]

Fuck making them better.

What about cackling in maniacal laughter with blood soaked clothes as the world burns around you both?

‼️ SEASON 2 FINALE SPOILERS ‼️

i'm having trouble articulating my thoughts but it just hit me how much change loki has brought into mobius' life.

that conversation they had in the past, when mobius told him about how he spared a variant and his partner had to do the pruning instead, got high praise for it and became a judge... i don't know, you can tell he doesn't regret it but he's so resigned. he knows that he isn't as trustworthy in his co-workers' eyes since he made that "mistake" — that his empathy, his showing mercy, his "heart of gold" isn't appreciated at the TVA. it never was and it never will be. he was demoted from his job and transferred to the department of analysts, fated to get buried under paperwork and never really seeing his purpose as anything but a heavy burden.

and then loki shows up, someone that mobius already admires, someone that he has been watching in the sacred timeline for at least a while, and in spite of all the signs pointing to trouble he chooses to trust him. a decision that, at first, feels like another error in his judgement, another failure added to the list, when loki bails on him in season one, but turns out completely different from what he imagined.

loki isn't just mobius' friend, loki represents hope. he's the only living proof that mobius' kindness isn't a flaw because loki appreciates that in him! he trusts his leadership and listens to him unlike anyone else in the TVA has ever done. but more than that, loki doesn't expect anything in return, there's no hierarchy, no give or take, they just make sense together. it's the first relationship mobius has ever had where there's no stakes, he doesn't need to be anyone's favorite analysist to have a place in loki's heart. loki just likes to be around him, whether they're working on a case or simply eating pie and chatting. point is: they make each other happy.

so at the end of season two, after loki steps through that portal and doesn't look back, mobius is grieving. he hasn't just lost his best friend, someone he deeply cares about; he's also mourning the loss of his hope, his purpose. so much so that he's grasping at straws to keep himself afloat.

you see, in season one, if mobius could go anywhere he would've gone to find himself in his own timeline. but when loki asks him about it in season two, he says that he's not even curious about it because that isn't his life, the one he has at the TVA, with loki and the rest of his friends, is. that's why when he's starting to lose hope that loki will come back, left alone at his desk, he decides to look for his file and see that other life. everybody else is moving on, so why doesn't he?

that's when i realized how much he loves loki because even when he's there, faced with a life he could only dream about (he even tells sylvie that his house is the best in the block and he likes the front yard. please, he loved it) he still hesitates. he doesn't want to move on, he wants to wait, if there's even a small chance that loki might come back to him.

to me, that's where we're shown that they're equals. we start the season getting introduced to a loki that's desperately slipping through time in search of mobius, running straight to him as soon as he's finally recognized. then midway through, we understand how much mobius, the TVA and the other characters mean to him and just before the season finale, loki stares into mobius' eyes and tells him "it was about what i wanted."

now, we're watching the same exact scenario. mobius probably tried to look for loki but couldn't go far as he doesn't travel through time like him, so he resigned himself to wait until it got to the point where he was aware he needed to move on. and yet, he can't. it's not about what he should or need to do, it's about what he wants and that's beautiful. it's such a relief that loki finally found someone that perfectly matches his devotion, after all the heartache and loneliness. i can't wait to see what they do next, that ending was nothing like i expected but heartbreakingly beautiful nonetheless.

Real queerbaiting almost always has to do with an individual character’s identity rather than any romantic pairings but y’all aren’t ready to have that conversation.

[reyturnofbensolo]

"I think ultimately the stakes were so high. It's hard to slow down and have smoochie-smooch romantic time together," Wright said. "But everything that's happening is because they do deeply care about each other." -Kevin Wright

Excuses…excuses! 😒 There’s no good reason for the lack of romance in S2!! That’s all the fans(that watched and loved S1)wanted to see!! That’s what we were waiting 2 fucking years for!!! Loki/Sylvie made the show GREAT! We wanted MORE of them together working things out, but instead they thought writing about the fucking LOOM for 6 hrs was interesting!! Fuck Kevin Wright, Fuck Eric Martin, and Fuck the ASS-CLOWN studio exec(s) at Disney/Marvel that gave them notes!!!

[unapologeticallytheworst]

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

[moonbythecabstan]

I actually like that in the end it was shown that both Sylvie and Mobius were the core people to Loki’s story. Romantic, platonic, or otherwise, those two are the most important people he knows now. He went to them specifically for advice when HWR said the choice was kill Sylvie or let the TVA fall. And he cares about them enough to sacrifice his own selfish desire (to have a happy life with his friends/found family) to give them a chance. A choice.

(Still hurts that without Loki, Mobius has been left without purpose. That he (and Loki) are left heartbroken while everyone else is able to move forward.)

[hauntedgrin]

Honestly this line made me so sad because it means at some point Don had a wife that shared his passion for jet skis, enough to warrant a jet ski just for :( they probably went on rides together :( that's so romantic and so sad, I wonder what happened to her
