There's something kind of poignant about the fact that Ardbert never directly blames the Flood on the longtime companion who manipulated and betrayed him into causing it

HEY HERE'S HOW A PAIR OF CONJOINED TROLLS CAN SURVIVE ON ALTERNIA

Okay, there's a LOT of LORE to them, but the GIST is: some PURPLEBLOODS STOLE a LIME GRUB to use its BLOOD to make SOPOR when it GROWS UP (which they are STILL USING THEM FOR, BTW) but it tried to SPLIT INTO TWINS when PUPATING (because TROLLS can have that HAPPEN before HATCHING AND before PUPATION because there ain't no way they aren't TURNING INTO GOO like a BUTTERFLY in there) and uh. It kinda did? They have THREE LUNGS and the LEFT ONE (on our RIGHT when looking at them HEAD-ON BC I know it's CONFUSING) has PART of a PELVIS. It's fused with the RIGHT ONE'S, obviously. They are still KEPT for BLOOD and as a FUNNY LITTLE GUY.

They are SO based on EVELYN EVELYN that that is THEIR SHARED NAME, because of course trolls would name a pair of CONJOINED TWINS that. Their given SIGN is a PURPLEBLOOD ONE, their actual SIGNS are CANCER for the RIGHT ONE and CANCEN for the LEFT ONE. YES, I am aware that EVERYTHING about their SITUATION is REALLY FUCKED UP, that's the POINT. I USE TROLLS TO REFLECT SOCIETAL INJUSTICES OF THE REAL WORLD, DON'T @ ME

ADDITIONAL FACTS: the RIGHT EVELYN uses she/her and the left one uses they/them and is the ONLY PERSON who uses their sister's CORRECT PRONOUNS because NOBODY ever TALKS about JUST ONE OF THEM. The RIGHT EVELYN has TWO LEGS and ONE ARM (as you can SEE) but the LEFT ONE can still FEEL THEM because their NERVOUS SYSTEM is SHARED. Same goes for RIGHT EVELYN feeling the LEFT ONE'S LEG and ARM. IF they ever played SBuRB they'd have SEPARATE DREAM SELVES on DIFFERENT MOONS and DIFFERENT CLASSES but THE SAME ASPECT, QUEST BED AND LAND. The LEFT ONE'S HORNS were CURLING INTO THEIR EYES so they got FILED DOWN TO THE BASE just to be safe. Their HORNS and HAIR also GROW A LITTLE FASTER than the RIGHT ONE'S do.

i can't stop listening to the 'purpose is glorious' track from this season's ost and thinking about how lovely the title and its meaning are. it's just such an amazing underlying theme in this show, and - while i do have criticisms about some of the choices made for the series finale - i really do feel the writers wholeheartedly delivered in sending that message home. for me personally, loki's ending is so gratifying and a large part of that is solely from viewing their arc's conclusion with the perspective of this theme in mind. to have spent years watching this character i hold very dear to my heart struggle to find belonging, to feel as though they matter and there is reason in their existence, finally get a chance to show - and recognize - their worth was so, so rewarding. and honestly, i think the message behind the phrasing of 'purpose is glorious' is all the more meaningful because of how loki's arc finished. yes, the outcome was bittersweet; yes, we're left knowing loki didn't get the happiness they undeniably earned after everything they'd gone through. it smarts something fierce to know their journey up until they deviated from their timeline and became a variant, as well as seen their eventual intended fate. the ache is only worsened after witnessing everything that happens within the TVA and the entirety of loki's character growth leading up to a redefining moment where they willingly choose to undergo a nightmarish amount of time in the endeavor to do the right thing. of course we want them to emerge victorious when they've struggled for so long, but that's not the point. loki's final moments are them forfeiting their right to a happy ending to preserve the stories of others because all stories matter and should inherently reserve the free will to be written; as sylvie says, loki makes their choice so their loved ones and life across the multiverse still have a chance to belong somewhere and embrace their place in the world. the take away is that even burden can be glorious. even with all the hardships of life - all the inevitable heartache, disappointment, and grief we encounter just by being alive - we have meaning in our existence. there is meaning in the trials we face, and the suffering we endure in order to overcome them. our pain gives us purpose; it gives us the ability to love, to grow from and for each other, and choose to sacrifice our happiness for the benefit of another. loki's purpose was forged in the bonds of those they met in their time at the TVA and the sense of value they gained from their companionship. their sacrifice perfectly conveys how the human capacity to love is one of cosmic greatness, which can ultimately surpass our instinctual desire to preserve one's self. we can move immovable mountains and challenge insurmountable adversity in behalf of the ones we love and their welfare. if that isn't an act deserving of glory, I don't know what is.

tldr; loki's purpose is the friends they made along the way = as the saying goes, 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'. or: our own lives have purpose because of the connections we share with others, even when we are met with great loss.

Excerpt:

Lucy would say: You should have played Eve. Did you know that you stand just like her? She used to talk with her hands and she laughed when she was nervous and everything she ever felt would show on her face. She couldn’t keep a secret to save her life.

“Man, I sure hope my fiancé doesn't have a crush on me" :(

So. I wrote this. There is now finally something on the ao3 tag for Not Wanted on the Voyage. My life’s purpose is fulfilled.

Tagged: Why do you hurt?

you're choking on how much you have to try

you have tried. you have carried the weight of the world on your shoulders and accepted more responsibilities than you have ever wanted, even intended to gain. it isn't crushing - you are strong enough to hold it - but you are choking. you don't know what to do with it. you don't know where it goes, how to move this weight everyone knows you can hold onto, and do you even want to get rid of it? Never. You would not give this to - force this on - anyone else. but you /can't/. but you are choking on it. your body will hold it up even when you lose all the air in your lungs, and your footing, and your courage. it does not mind choking you. it seems almost designed to do so. if you weren't wrung out you wouldn't be doing this thing properly.

I kinda think this is more what he's afraid of, rather than why he's hurting. A lot of his time is spent running from or avoiding responsibility¹ before begrudgingly accepting it², and I think this comes from him being just self-aware enough to realize that he'd wear himself down to nothing trying to do everything if he didn't make himself do nothing.
