#LIKE IT'S SO GOOD but just the romance jumpscare AHHH

[sweetgreekcreep]

okay so i am obsessed with the magnus archives rn and i love jonmartin, one of my fave queer couples in fiction even. but. and maybe this is like a super inconsequential issue that no one else can relate to. but i was really disappointed for a while when their relationship was confirmed because, based off earlier info from the series, i was very invested in headcanoning Jon as aroace.

and like i do genuinely love jonmartin, they are a lovely couple and all and i was super happy for martin. i think it's great and amazing that there is representation now for biromantic ace people, that is extremely cool!! but i do just feel really disappointed, and honestly like i was led on. it's rare for someone like me to find an aroace character that connects with me and my experience in the specific way that Jon did, and i don't think i would be so upset by that fact that he ends up in a relationship if it wasn't for the fact that moments in earlier seasons really seemed to hint at that sort of thing being something he wouldn't be into at all?

i dunno, maybe there were hints earlier on that Jon wasn't aro so i shouldn't feel so let down, i did miss a lot of details in the first season so i'm rewatching it before i finish s5, but yeah idk. anyone else have a similar experience with this series, or any other? curious

just watched the season finale of loki and my emotions are all over the place. I screamed at my tv and I'm crying and damn... i love it and hate it and none of my friends have watched the series so I don't have anyone that I can talk to rn! would love to hear your thoughts on the finale!

YES! i just caught up and.... omg........ i'm really going thru it right now hahahafkjdalfwjl. AHHH!!! i'm gonna just list my thoughts under the cut...

>> watch out!! "Loki" (2021) spoilers ahead <<

I LIKED THIS EPISODE... i didn't love it, but it was visually stunning with lots of compelling dialogue (i think episodes 1 & 5 are my fav overall tho)

i love the build up of them opening the door for the first time. i never view loki as a coward (he has so many experiences with so many beings and situations AND he's seen the future). but i enjoyed slyvie's hesitation– this is the end of her life's work after all lol

miss minutes jumpscare ahahdjfaklfjwhahahha

'he who remains' ... I LOVE HIM. i love the reveal, i love his personality, his attitude, his whimsy– he does seem like a guy who's seen it all, heard it all, and a control freak. it just turns out that he's run his course, and he is ready to let go of the reigns. for better or for worse lmao, that's so chaotic hahahahaha

he's tired, just like loki and slyvie who have been surviving and running away through time.

i love loki's POV: he's SEEN things, he knows how HIS life ends, and how he'd like his life to continue. i don't think he's "good" or "bad" but he understands the chaos that the multiverse would bring–– he is a man who would rather know all the cards before making a decision, but because of his history... to other's it's perceived as cunning and backstabbing.

i understand slyvie's POV: her life was taken from her by the TVA!! this guy!!– she literally grew up in apocalypses, she hasn't felt warmth or camaraderie in decades. she does "trust" loki, but she is still in experienced in creating/nurturing these relationships, since she's been on her own. so she will pursue her own goals and revenge above all else. it's all she knows and she's already lost without it.

their kiss was.......... weird. i can see it as slyvie using it to get the upperhand and also apologizing and saying goodbye in one swoop??? but???? i like don't want their relationship to be real. i think i most prefer it as a platonic mirror/sibling partnership, as literal partners. the 'romance' of it is kinda ick to me????

>>>>> but also i picture loki as a hopeless romantic where TVA/fate would never let him win lol. unfortunately

the end???? nooooo poor loki...... it was a reoccurring line that "loki's survive. loki's don't die. loki's are alone–" except when they are with each other. i just kinda wish there was a more uplifting note in the end of this series... it felt like 📈📈📈📈📉📈📉📉📉📈📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉

i just wanted like 5 more minutes hahha–– at least give us a "happy for now!! ahh!!" (but loki is too tragic and delicious to leave it like that i guess haha)

i'm glad there's a season 2!! i'm interested in how these will all connect to each other??? but like... i'm already feeling so impatient hahahahah

pls give this man a win hahaha
