What’s your thoughts on what will happen with Levi in chapter 3? I can see him being in a coma for the first few days cause he lost a lot of blood and no one in the cast has that type of surgery and work under their belt

Hi! No idea!

Yeah, I just have no clue. A short coma is definitely a possibility, though I doubt it would last very long, since characters typically have to be awake to be explored and developed. And CH2 Daily Life was, like, three days long, with the fourth morning already being BDA. So assuming a similar length for CH3, if you take him out for even a day, you take him out for a third of the chapter :v So yeah, I doubt the coma would last longer than that.

But a small coma could probably help organize the conversations that must be had this chapter, so I can definitely see him staying down for a day. Like, between things like Whit's secret, the Nico situation, Hu and Vero's secrets, there's a lot that needs to be addressed on top of Levi's almost sacrifice and everything else. And I believe that probably will be addressed; I'm looking forward to the Teruko-Levi conversation that's probably gonna happen, same with Arturo-Levi, the dynamic with the rest of the cast given his past and the sacrifice, etc.

And that's the thing with DRDT predictions, huh? The cast is too dynamic and alive to try to accurately pin down what they might do or how they'll be explored. That applies to Levi as well. In any case, thanks for the ask!

The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs

1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Also, one of the Only reasons I DEMAND Jayce Talis survives the Council Bombing in S2 is so we can see the Absolute Angst Fest that is his and Viktor's relationship falling apart as Viktor goes down the whole "Glorious Evolution" rabbit hole

They've already set up friction between the two in S1 when it comes to Jayce's ignorance towards people who come from the Undercity and i think that might get worse post ep 9. Yea, they might change things that happen between the two compared to what happens in League lore, similar to what they're doing for Vi (cuz if you've forgotten League Vi is like, the Poster Girl for Police Brutality) but yea i can totally see the two splitting apart this season (RIP Jayce/Viktor shippers)

As we all enjoy our clownery on this fine evening, a reminder that it is all fun and games to try to guess what she might do unless it becomes demanding and people get upset when the thing they thought/hoped/wished would happen doesn’t. Expect nothing, and be pleasantly surprised if something happens.

telling wolfie we have a resting heart rate of almost 120 and hearing audible panic. fascinating. to be fair i think the next reading was closer to 110-15 but i imagine that isnt much better.

[unopenablebox]

i think everyone in my life would, if they knew, think i was a horrible evil abusive fun-hating bitch jew for telling 🌸 that i'm not ever willing to have a christmas tree in my home or have any kind of regular 'christmas tradition' that isn't "every few years we spend the last week of december with their parents and participate in their christmas celebration"

i just can't tolerate the idea of having to have that shit be a default in my own fucking house. i feel like this is a normal way for a jewish person who did not in any way grow up interacting with christmas as though it were my own thing to feel. and yet the only people who've ever reacted like this was normal of me are 🌸 themself, who seems to think it's completely sympathetic and reasonable of me to feel this way and as far as i can tell sincerely doesn't mind, and my one muslim coworker, who was like "well yeah christmas stuff is the worst makes sense"

but if i ever tell anyone else that i feel this way (including my jewish friends)— let alone that i actually said out loud to my partner, who was raised with christmas, that this was an important boundary to me—they are going to act like i am an evil psychopath who hates human experiences and all children and is willing to torture 🌸 on a whim

[dwtdog]

yeah i looked and then regretted it lol. i do think people have been patient and are holding back frustration but it’s hard when like. the only context upcoming is seeing fan meet and greet pics 😭 obviously the delays aren’t his fault but i think everyone can agree we all just miss them

oh yeah i'm not disagreeing with the like base concept of ohmygod I miss dteam so bad I wish there was some way to magically make the project go quicker when the world seems to be against dream (poor dreamie :[) and rn there is just kind of a resigned mindset of waiting and waiting and waiting which gets old BUT the way some redditors go about complaining just makes me giggle and shake off some of my own like gloom bc they r so. dramatic sometimes

I'm a big fan of the Moonfam (post-coin shenanigans) just swaggering back to the Silvergrove and being like "hey yall so we actually didn't deserve to get ghosted" and the rest of them are like

Apologies if you've already answered it. I've been reading your metas today and linked posts and ngl I really love them and I feel like we're in full agreement with everything.

With season 2 of Loki merely 6 weeks away (idk, are you going to watch it? I think I will, regardless of my current feelings about it) what are your thoughts about the upcoming season? What do you expect we'll get in it? Do you have any hopes for it, or do you think it will be more of the same. The current promo does not give me a good feeling tbh. Also do you think Hiddleston could leave the mcu at the end of season 2? Or at least if this could be the last time we see TVA Loki. Sorry for lenghty ask 🙈 my season 2 anxiety is off the charts, I expect it will be more of the same with Sylvie leading the story and Loki following her and I'd love to hear your thoughts about s2

Awww, thank you!!! Season 1 was something I felt so deeply for! All my hopes and dreams were focused on it. And then it shattered me in a way I didn’t know was possible. Now, I see that it took me a full year to cope and decode what I was feeling. The metas I wrote during this time (including the survey) are more like an open diary of how I processed the show and stabilized my mental health. It means a lot to me that now those thoughts may help others, too. 💚

I’ll put the answers under a cut, because there are some triggers included.

what are your thoughts about the upcoming season? What do you expect we'll get in it?

Frankly, I expect the season to focus mainly on Sylvie and her character development. If I put my criticisms aside and try to see what the creators wanted to do with the series, it looks to me like their only goal for Larry was to morph him from a villain to a hero in a way that would be undeniable for the general audience. This was achieved by him watching the video and finally finding someone he cares for. So his arc was completed in season 1. His role now is probably to serve as a guide for her, and maybe to discover that his true power is only achievable through or with her. I don’t count this as “his” arc especially, but more the core of the general admiration Sylvie is supposed to get from everyone in-universe. It’s a part of being a Mary sue. As is excelling at everything, even stuff that is opposite to your characteristics and you have no former knowledge on that would make it seem believable you’d excel. Like this, you know?

I‘m quite certain of this because Eric Martin is a huge fan of Sylvie and the ship. If you want to confirm I suggest looking at his Twitter. His tweets imply he intends to stay true to Waldron‘s and Harron‘s original ideas. This was confirmed by some people working on the set of season 2. I made the effort to find the original post, and it turned out that two people contributed to the post I experienced as thoughtful and reliable on Reddit. I personally believe those leaks.

Do you have any hopes for it, or do you think it will be more of the same. The current promo does not give me a good feeling tbh.

I think it will be more of the same. Sorry, I wish I could tell you something more to your taste. I absolutely share this feeling, and so do others.

Also do you think Hiddleston could leave the mcu at the end of season 2?

This article claims that Tom was supposed to leave the MCU at the end of season 1. Allegedly, season 1 was supposed to have 12 episodes and only was cut short because of Corona. This would mean that the original end of season 1 would be now the end of season 2. Does this mean he will leave? I can’t say. Disney‘s stock is progressively decreasing. Social media opinions on the MCU seem to grow more and more negative and depreciating. Perhaps Iger and Feige feel like Tom is one of the last strong pillars and try to keep him. At this point, I wouldn’t put it past them to try to keep the MCU afloat with Tom’s personal fandom. I don’t think that will work since Google stats show that his popularity decreased after season 1 to a point where it is now below the level it was after endgame. But they might attempt it.

Or at least if this could be the last time we see TVA Loki.

Even if he leaves I assume cameos are always a possibility, especially now that the studios are utilizing AI. But Loki? I‘m heartbroken, but I am very sure we have seen the last of him in TDW (and Ao3). May his reign bring him all the joy he deserves.

So last but not least:

idk, are you going to watch it?

I honestly don’t know. I certainly won’t pay for it. The last time I always watched the episodes was the day they came out so I could write my thoughts down here. But ngl, I’m tired of the fighting, the anon hate, and the feeling that opinions online are getting more important than the love for Loki. Right now, I’m trying to focus more on my fanfics than on the canon. Season 1 made me unable to continue my fics for almost a year. I don’t want to repeat that with season 2.

I still think that the show has done great harm to the fandom, to (some) people with poor mental health who needed Loki as a focus point, (some) gender-fluid or non-binary people who got exposed to sexism because of it, and possibly Tom‘s reputation (based on the google trends Infos). But for season 2 we know what to expect. We know it’s not Loki but Larry who will appear. And in this case, I think it might be best to leave the season to those it was made for, so they can enjoy it and keep as far away from it as possible.

If you want to watch it and still want to give Disney some negative feedback, I recommend watching every episode more than 7 days after it aired. Afaik Disney only counts views in the first week as real interest. Alternatively, 🏴‍☠️.
