ok but the difference between the S1 and S2 Blu-rays!!!!!!

The S2 Blu-ray features Loki mostly alone, which is how he feels in this season. He's been taken from his life, and he can't go back. On the cover, he stands with Sylvie, someone who helped him understand himself better. On the back, he's with Miss Minutes, and there's an uneasiness to it that is influenced by the foreboding windows of the citadel and the slanted angle of the composition. He's pictured alone on the inside of the steel book, and he's not even on the discs, Miss Minutes is!

Whereas in the S2 art, Loki's power fills the entire cover and Mobius is right there with him. Mobius is illuminated with green light, and Loki is lit up with orange (lokius colour theory truthers rise!) The inside is a photo of Loki and all of his friends. They're also pictured on the back. The discs are even art of him and Mobius rather than Miss Minutes. It just really solidifies what relationships are important this season.

idk i'm just rambling here but the s2 art is just so pretty!!!! Loki is with all of his friends, he's no longer alone. He was able to become so powerful because he did it for them.

Thought a little too hard about if Loki and Mobius were reunited and finally had what they wanted, and were then torn apart once again by some insurmountable force, and I honestly have a feeling that if Marvel ever brought them back that’s exactly what they would do

Jet-Skiing through Identity: a deep dive into Mobius M. Mobius (part 6) 🚤

So, through the realms of my (personal) analysis, we've come a long way to Mobius's character. From the comedic relief to the deep natural need to care from others, from fear of abandonment to suppresed emotions. But guess what? There's more. There's always more when you really get into it.

I see episode 3 of season 2, "1893" as sort of a calm before the storm : a really sweet time before the rest of the chaos really emerged.

I love how the clothes they are wearing are probably conjured by Loki for them to fit in the time period. This is more of a headcanon, but beside all that chaos, Mobius probably loved it as well.

Here is another gem from this character: although he possesses an effortless charm most of the time, that doesn't equal the actual confidence. Like he's trying to hide the lacks in self esteem with an abundance of showing off. But around his closest confidante, he naturally gets that out, not needing to overthink it anymore: with both confidence and charm. I'm talking about that line:

"I see everything, I notice everything"

which is right before the famous "You've got some Cracker Jack on your chin, what about that?". They really were on a silly little date.

We also get to catch precious moments of Mobius's pure curiosity and opening to the new. I imagine that he also lost some experiences he had with the memory wipe at the TVA, so everyday can be a new gift now that he really gets to do something *else*. That's noticeable when Victor Timely's presentation of The Loom begins, doing an amazing contrast with Loki's more careful behavior.

Not to talk about persuasive: the tandem bike? A classic. I'm not saying Loki wasn't a little compromised by the circumstances, but Mobius made himself pretty clear too!!

And at the end of the episode, I love how he stays behind to look at Ravonna for a little while after Loki exits through the time door. It's not that he doesn't miss his old friend, but he knows better than to try and meddle in her business right now.

In episode 4, "The Heart of the TVA", Mobius's natural kindness is once again an important piece of the game. Him and Loki too try to be gentle with Timely, as they see he is scared and understand he's just a variant, different than He Who Remains.

When they finally get Timely to work to their plan and save the Loom, there it is again: that waiting in uncertainty, the fear of things going south really, really fast. So he does what he's used to: try and have some pie.

Sylvie is obviously disturbed by this, as from her perspective, they should be even more agitated, just like everything else around them. And here's just a part from what she said to Mobius:

"Timelines are just lines on a monitor. Doesn't matter if a few disappear. Because you've never bothered to look if one of them is yours"

This time, Mobius doesn't snap like he did with Brad. Because it isn't coming from one of his coworkers, it's from Sylvie, whom he helped in the past. And in the way she says it, he's more prone to believe her. So he doesn't reciprocate her speech with anger. Why? Because he doesn't deny it; feeling guilty about something automatically implies admitting the other is right. And he doesn't have the strength to fight it anymore. Loki does it for him afterwards in the pie room - as he deserves.

At least he got a hot-cocoa to warm him right back up :))

Chapter 3 is live on AO3 ahhhhhh!!!!!

In which Mobius learns through Sylvie that his interventions haven’t solved the problem of Lokis losing. He seems to be making things worse, so he should stop. But he won’t. He just needs to find an alternative solution…and that solution may have something to do with a single dad named Don.

Thank God someone else who isn’t caught up in shipping Loki and Mobius or Loki and Sylvie you earned a follow

Here's the thing that I want to ask the legion of Lokius shippers who were disappointed by the series or, worse yet, accuse it of queerbaiting.

What was the show about?

I don't mean 'what did you want the show to be about' but what was the show actually about. What story did it seek to tell?

I know, and I suspect you do as well.

It was about Loki coming to terms with who he was, what he had done, and, in a very important quote, "what sort of god I want to be." In the beginning, Loki looked to his father, his brother, and his mother for definition, and when they didn't give him the identity he wanted, he reacted violently. He worked with Thanos the Mad Titan to get the power to force others to love him, and we all saw how that ended. He stooped to being a sycophant to the Grandmaster. None of them were ever able to make him feel the way he wanted to feel.

Then he encounters the TVA, including Mobius and Sylvie, and sees that there are infinite Lokis; suddenly, defining himself seems not only unimportant but foolish. He is who he is. Then he meets He Who Remains, and he begins to see that -- and this is a crucial line when he shouts it at the Enchantress -- there are things bigger than his own identity.

The second season of the show and his attempt to forge himself a new home within the TVA, with the people he's met and befriended there, and begins to paradoxically establish his own sense of self-worth through his relationships with them. Not just one of them, but all of them. It wasn't about a specific relationship; it was about all of them.

Loki and Sylvie kissed ONCE in 12 episodes, and then she punted him through a time door, so the point wasn't the culmination of their romance, but the possibility of seeing himself as worthy of regard in the guise of seeing another Loki, and confronting his violent and selfish instincts by confronting the same instincts in a version of himself he loved. Mobius started out confronting Loki with the enormity of his failures and trying to manipulate him into assisting the TVA and evolved into a close friendship when they're willing to work with and believe in each other in a way Loki had never achieved before, not even with Thor.

Loki was never going to go on dates or settle down in glorious domesticity with jet-skis and stepsons. He was always going to achieve his 'glorious purpose': finding something greater than himself to value and to sacrifice for. To find something worthy of guarding.

Shipping is fun, but in this show? It was extraneous. A plot line with a romantic focus simply would not fit in with the themes with which the show grappled. So, take a deep breath, write your Lokius fanfiction, but dial it down a notch on your screams of betrayal and injustice. You look foolish.
