Time in the TVA
It's crazy that Miss Minutes is a clock that doesn't tell time.
The TVA is outside of time. They don't NEED a clock in a place outside of time. There is no time. Right? AHH.
I know the theme of the show is time, so they just put in things that represent time to make us have that in the back of our awareness and everything, but the clocks can't be useful right?
In the image below, Mobius has a sand timer on his desk, but that is a very manual thing. It would become very offset over long periods of 'time.' But at least it works (as far as I know) because it is so simple.
In the image below, I've only see that clock show that time. But it's very hard to read because it has 12 lines coming out from the center.
The image above is basically saying that it's all time, all at once. Just in case you forgot where you were.
Which I suppose could happen with all the memory wiping that going on. Casey forgot what a fish was, so who knows. That place looks super empty. Maybe everyone forgot what pie was too.
Anyway, is there a way to measure long periods of time that we just don't get to see? There is no sun, or planet, so theoretically there shouldn't be days, or years.
They also don't show the TVA workers needing to take any kind of break to sleep, indicating there isn't a "daily" break to rest, that would at least help measure the passing of this non-time time.
But Mobius does say the phrase "We should pick this up tomorrow" so maybe there are days? Maybe they do sleep? Loki did take a nap once, so who knows.
If the TVA workers do sleep, do they have bedrooms? I think this is very important. Did Mobius have a bedroom? Did Loki? Any chance they could have bunked together??
But back to the time stuff, OB specifically said it had been 400 years. So like what's up with that? How many TVA years has this place been running for?
So I guess I'm also wondering, where the TVA is? Like it's outside of time, but we also have another example of something that is outside of time, but just at the end of it too.
So maybe the TVA is just at the beginning of time? Before the beginning of time, possibly?
Has time always worked in this infinitely branching way? If there was a time before time, would it be like the TVA and not have branches?
I think it makes sense that it would be before time, but that's just me.
These are just thoughts that are running with scissors through my mind, cutting up my peace.

I am simultaneously deliriously in love with the ending of Loki season 2 and absolutely loathe it
On one hand…Shakespearean tragedy at its finest, essentially circling back to Loki’s original Thor 2011 character arc by reversing it, and Loki has literally ascended to godhood. In the end, Loki’s ultimate selfless sacrifice was to sit upon the highest throne in the multiverse, and that to me is tragically ironically beautiful
On the other hand…Loki being alone makes me want to burn Marvel studios to the ground and do other unspeakable things
Best and worst ending of all time f u Eric Martin

Loki, when he was just beginning to learn to trust and love:
Loki, when he mastered it perfectly:
Loki's power has finally blossomed, and only because of one person.
