Loki series spoilers **episode 3**

.

.

So I was having a hard time with how different Sylvie is from Tom’s interpretation of Loki. But I’m realizing that an imitation of “our” Loki would have been a more basic study of identity. They had completely different lives, Sylvie is more feral, living her life from apocalypses to apocalypses. (Whatever else her life is like, I wish they would elaborate on, cause we are running out of episodes and I have way too many questions!) Our Loki grew up in a castle and has only created problems for himself. They are completely different people. I think I needed to stop looking for mimicry to enjoy her character and now I really do!

I’ve also seen discourse about Loki being ooc. I agree, and I definitely felt that way with episode 3. But, I would also say that everything we know about the character in the mcu hasn’t been under circumstances that he could just breath in. We haven’t been able to sit with him. We didn’t know what casual loki is like until now.

In the first movie he is devastated, overly formal, likes to use words to sooth or hurt. Before finding out his linage, he seemed arrogant, petty, jealous and too charismatic for his own good. And then after finding out who he was, he snapped.

In Avengers, he went through something off screen that has been hinted at and kinda confirmed but not explicitly. He is very focused in avengers and I think it’s because he is scared. His plan is someone else’s plan here And I think his motivations are varied but mostly he wants to win to achieve power so he can feel safe again.

I would say that we are getting the Loki from Ragnorak in this series. He is calmer. Not as devious as Thor 1 or avengers. He got to rule asgard for a bit, saw what it was like. but reconnecting to and getting his fathers blessing, hanging out with Thor again with them both knowing the truth about who he really is, I think all that stabilized him a bit. Well as stable as someone who has propensity for mischief can be.

All that being said, if you love the Loki from the first film, he is definitely there. His behavior in the time theater in episode 1, his speech about the tva walking into one wolfs mouth after another, telling Sylvie she lacks vision..All very Loki things., but now, unlike when he was a side character to someone else’s story, we get more time with him. and it is jarring how is mood shifts. But I’m chalking that up to us being fans of a character that can’t be easily pinned down and defined. It’s a good thing y’all! Like Tom said “loki contains multitudes” or something like that.

I think loki wants to survive at all costs. He will do what he has to do to live ( kill or not kill. Whatever works )and I think seeing himself die, after knowing he worked so hard to live was a reset for him. He saw that everything he tried didn’t protect him in the end, so I do think we are seeing a loki who is using his mercurial nature to try to do things another way. He just avoided death, only to be trapped in an organization that keeps threatening his life. I think thats making him a little manic! I know it would make me manic as hell.

His plans aren’t that great though lol, so he needs a buddy. Mobius and Sylvie and my home girl Hunter B would be great buddies/love interests. (I’m a little weirded out by the idea of a loki/Sylvie, but I’m gonna be respectful to those that want it)

I do want more world building info in these episodes. If we are only get crumbs this early, the last few episodes will just be plot and I want more of a balance of character development and plot! Right now I’m getting tons of character development but the actually tva stuff is moving too slowly for me. Or I’m just wishing I can binge it, so that’s what it’s making me feel like the writing is holding back way to much. Idk.

hi this is a bit random but i feel like my crush on tom is kinda unhealthy. i have so much enjoyment watching his films, interviews, and reading fanfics but hes literally a celebrity that i dont know at all. i feel like i have this unrealistic fantasy in my head that me (y/n) is his gf in some alternate universe. then when i look at photos of him and his actual gfs or pretty actresses i feel really insecure about myself. idk if this is something maybe you feel as well considering you write fanfics but do you have any advice ? ik its unhealthy but i also feel really attached to this idealized concept i have of him in my mind :(

Firstly I totally get it. The balance can be really hard sometimes and you can feel like you’re almost crazy for how much you love someone you don’t even know but you have to remember that it’s more the idea of Tom that you love. He’s so kind and amazing and down to earth and it’s hard not to love him haha and anyone he ends up with will be lucky as hell. Ngl if I hear he has a gf I wish I could have someone like him and I’m gonna admit I feel a bit jealous because who wouldn’t? 😂

I love reading fanfics and reader inserts and it’s not a bad thing to picture yourself as y/n because that’s why people write them so the reader can escape and picture themselves in this other world and fantasy. Some people prefer to picture y/n as someone else and that’s also okay! It’s how you want it to be and that’s why I love reader inserts. To me when I write Tom, I know I’m writing more of a character since it’s my perception of how he is because I don’t know what he’s really like besides things I’ve seen in interviews etc. It’s a daydream and an escape and don’t feel bad or that it’s unhealthy to have those because it’s normal.

All of this being said, if you do feel like you’re obsession is getting a bit much on the idea of a celebrity then you can always take a step back and maybe focus on something else for a while but don’t feel bad about doing what you like or liking who you like especially if it’s an escape for you.

Also I learnt about this thing in psychology called parasocial relationships in which a person wants to be in a relationship (platonic or romantic) with a celebrity or fictional character and it’s completely normal!

I hope this helps and never hesitate to come to talk to me about stuff 💕💕 I’m always happy to do my best to help
