Look at him flying a ship across the water:

My mans would've loved riding a JetSki

It still irritates the hell out of me how well Sylvie seems to have accepted Loki's absence. I mean, come on, Loki SACRIFICED himself so that in the end she could come back and live her happy life the way she wanted. But in this scene she seems to be talking about the fucking wind, they ruined her so much in this second season.

While Mobius seems SAD AS HELL. ALONE in a new life that he still doesn't know how to deal with and that he didn't ask for, without the presence of the person he liked most. He looks so devastated, like someone came and destroyed his favorite jetski, when in fact the only thing destroyed was his and Loki's chance to ride that damn jetski TOGETHER.

• Lokius •

Amo Loki e a relação delu com o Mobius mesmo sem nunca ter assistido a série, pra mim eles são canon, no meu mundinho eles são canon então, lokius shippers, vocês são bem vindes aqui. 🫶🫶💚

—————————————————————————

- Btw, eles são assim na minha cabeça:

[divorce-enjoyer]

insane that every time we learn something new about the behind the scenes production of loki, its the fact that they had to actively make the show LESS gay

[godofstory]

what i'm getting from Don's reaction here is that he never heard this phrase about jet skis before

then his memories was erased over and over and over at the tva but he remembered what that random stranger who followed him home said to him🥲

his loki said that to him about his favorite hobby and he could never forget it no matter how much tva tried

[charcubed]

Don / Timeline Mobius' kids are coded as Lokis.

This does NOT mean Mobius = father figure.

More so that Mobius' previous wife was probably a mischievous scamp, and... jet-skis also relate to Mobius' true passions.

What will HE want?

Let me explain :)

First: look at the kids.

Kevin = Sylvie.

That's a minute man ^

Just like Sylvie burnt in season 1, episode 1 – and everything she used (the lamp and the reset charges) was stolen, just like Kevin's matches.

And the other kid?

Sean = Loki.

"Don" gets him to help in the same way Mobius got Loki to help catch Sylvie in season 1.

This tactic...

...is the same as this tactic.

The exact same method, on full display! Very amusing to me personally.

Aside from the fact that his kids are, hilariously, little hellions and perhaps take after their wayward mother (who maybe ran away in typical Loki fashion, if she wasn't snapped by Thanos? 👀)… and that that gave Mobius the unique ability to know how to "handle" Lokis, even subconsciously…

We see towards the end of the episode that "Don" cares about his kids, yes; of COURSE he cares about them! They need him!

But.

Being a parent reallyyyy isn't his passion. The work (in this case, jet-skis) is his ACTUAL passion.

He drops everything kid-related to talk about jet-skis... and also drops everything kid-related to talk to Loki.

These 2 things explicitly criss-cross. Deliberately in the context of Don trying to get Loki to fill the role of his new romantic partner.

Plus, y'know, there's the fact that Don immediately flirts with Loki at the store by telling him his entire schedule and announcing to him that he's single. Which is fucking amazing.

Yeah, that's the actual dialogue.

So, I'll spell it all out:

Don's kids are mischievous scamps, and his wife probably is/was too.

Loki is Mobius' ideal partner (which we already knew, but this is another fun detail to enjoy!) – and Loki will actually STAY. He'll REMAIN, if you will.

Mobius' ideal life involves focusing on work that he's passionate about, not being a parent. And it's OKAY for him to want that! Especially in the context of his TVA life. He has purpose-driven work; he's not "abandoning" his kids. And he's helping others.

Loki's conversation with Sylvie is a whole other post to unpack, but: what's wrong with wanting something?

Or: what's wrong with wanting SOMEONE?

It's about "who."

If you're very lucky... the where/when/why AND "who" align.

At the TVA, for Mobius, they do and they will.

Oh, that's lovely.

Yeah.

I write lots of Loki meta on Twitter, whoops! I haven't crossposted all of my ep5 meta yet because I'm offline this weekend, but you can find my tweets collected here.

My stuff on tumblr is under the tag "chars loki posts."

My wife for your viewing pleasure.

[wolfpup026]

Based on that one meme (which I can't find at the moment) of Mobius saying 'I could take them both' about Loki and his duplication castings

And also inspired by Time Passes, Come Closer Now by rumblebee. It's so good and I loved the idea of Mobius and Don chatting💕

[boredintjqueen]

Loki was to Mobius what jetskis were to Don. The wild and adventurous thing he was obsessed with and knew everything about, every model/variant.

Except Don got to ride jetskis.

I believe Owen improvising that "what'd you say my name was?" and "that's a pretty cool name" was his way of saying "If he knew the kids would be alright and that he could come back to them anytime, he would follow Loki into any adventure" and Tom caught that and just looked at him that way. He really wouldn't leave Loki alone. I mean, hell, even before knowing about all that he was inviting Loki for a drink.

[recurring-polynya]

if I made a Bleach videogame, I would make it so if you tried to play as Byakuya, like, nine different gauges would come up, like "Bored", "Pissed Off", "Thinking about his Pride," "Late for his Dentist Appointment", etc, and the only move you would be able to use was Sokatsui unless you could get the various gauges high enough to convince him to use any of his better moves. No, this would not be fun. You're the one who chose to play as Byakuya.
