#like I like all the loki variants but

[dayscapism]

Can someone please tell me at the end if they actually made Loki bi and didn't went back on their world and if he and Mobius become boyfriends or cannon?? Because I can't stand another season of queerbaiting I just can't 😭

[lokiusly]

I think that deep down Mobius couldn’t prune the two kids because he subconsciously knew— he felt like it would be like pruning his own children. He was a father and will always have that instinct, no matter how many times he was brainwashed.

Ok but wait the reason Lokis are so interested in theatre & Shakespeare & literature etc (fiction in general) is because their prime variant is the God of Stories 😭

[sunflowerdigs]

The thing to me is, if you don't think that Mobius is a good love interest for Loki, then I'm really stumped as to who would be a better candidate for that role in his life.

Mobius studied Loki's entire life, saw every single bad thing that Loki had ever done, and he didn't see a villain despite the amount of death and destruction that Loki has caused. He saw a very lonely person with incredible potential/power struggling to find his place and his purpose. He liked the Loki that attacked New York, he felt like he had range. Like...what else could any potential love interest for Loki do that would top seeing and understanding him so profoundly?

To me, it's just like...if not Mobius, who? Sylvie is nowhere near as invested in a relationship with Loki as Mobius is. No one else both genuinely cares about Loki in the way that Mobius does or is able to communicate and work with him as well. So, I guess I just wonder...what else does there need to be in a love interest? What part of the role does Mobius not fulfill, what is he missing? And who would fulfill the role better than he would? Who is understanding and caring for Loki better than he is? Who would make Loki happier? I've literally never seen Loki smile as often or as bright as he does with Mobius so...what else is there?

Like, you're not going to get a better love story for Loki specifically. Heck, I question whether a better love story exists for most characters. I love their friendship, obviously, and if it were to remain a friendship it wouldn't hurt the canon in any way. It just seems to me like if Loki is going to have a love interest ever (which he seems to want)...why create someone new when Mobius is right there performing basically every function that you could ask for in a love interest for Loki? At this point in his story, whose relationship with him could be more profound? It wouldn't be right for him to fall in love with someone else while his relationship with Mobius remained his most important, which I think it inevitably would.

[sherlocking-out-loud]

does the loki s2 finale make sense? yes. is it a beautiful scene, watching Loki sit down to take care of the tree of time streams (taking the shape of Yggdrasill), finding and accepting his glorious purpose? also yes. is it a satisfying end? GODS, NO.

I DON'T WANT LOKI STUCK THERE ALONE FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! 😭😭😭

and Mobius just staying there longing for what he missed, not having a purpose of his own! 😭😭

"oh the loki in the series isn't the same as the one in infinity war because he got several movies-worth of character development scrapped. the tva version is all the way back from avengers 1, that's why."

ok but have you considered that maybe that doesn't even make sense for avengers 1 loki.?

[death-limes]

animated shows stop making characters specifically engineered for me to simp over and hate myself the entire time i’m doing it. please i’m so tired

[indelen]

Ok, but what if O.B. and Victor Timely are both Variants of He Who Remains?

[ayyeeequality]

personally, I don't really like Sylvie

however

I do find it really amusing that the creators did such a poor job at giving us explicitly genderfluid Loki that they accidentally created a whole new trans coded character

[rosstrytobe]

But What if...

Ravonna is a Victor Variant 👀👀👀

[emeraldxphoenix]

plotted novella (oops sorry) for @cffidelityy

Gatherings such as this are always amusing to Mr Loki Laufeyson – more so if they are among people unknown to him. The man is undeniably striking; tall, raven-haired, lithe, strong – there is always admiration of his natural assets, and he soaks it up like a sponge. Even when word inevitably gets around that he is but a second (adopted) son, and therefore does not stand to inherit the vast Odinson fortune, strangers still curry his favour as if he were some sort of god.

Tonight is no different; dressed immaculately in expensive green silk, Loki holds court with a small group of admirers who hang on his every word. The gentlemen clasp his hand, and offer him cigars, and the ladies silently eye his figure and finger their dance cards meaningfully. He charms with smooth smiles, entertains with small sleight of hand tricks, and regales with tales of his home country. Everyone is playing their part to perfection.

The band strikes a chord, signalling to guests that the dancing will commence soon, and Loki remains in his seat, cruelly watching the light of hope diminish in ladies’ eyes as they conclude he does not intend to dance. The other young men leap at the opportunity to accompany them instead, and there is a brief clamour as those intending to dance pair off and make their way across to the adjoining room. 

It’s laughably easy for Loki to slip away in the chaos. He skirts the edges of the room, heading for the far wall and the pretty little thing beside the window who caught his eye. Dressed tastefully in cerulean blue, the young woman has been observing the room's occupants since he first spotted her, making the gentleman undeniably curious. They haven’t been formally introduced, but that kind of minor scandal has never bothered Loki, so he approaches with his hand held out towards her, and an offer on his lips: “Would you care to dance?”

another Loki spoiler post bc now I have different thoughts and this times its lokius thoughts

[cyborgrhodey]

loki has been really fun and real comic book mini-series feeling but its so hard finding real discourse about it because so many people watching it are. frankly. delusional

[gyarucoded]

ok but why do i feel bad for victor timely? this variant of kang is the most likeable n it makes me wanna root for him. though i bet they'll either turn him evil or kill him off...smh 😒

[nostalgia-tblr]

okay but like the number of things Mobius says that someone or other in fandom gets really mad about even though he frequently says things just to get a reaction and that's not subtle and he even admits it at least once that i can think of offhand.

Or B, I just want to catch this guy and I'll tell you whatever I need to tell you.

IDK why any of us assume that Mobius is always telling the truth? Fandom picked up on his therapist technique of asking a question not for the information itself but to make the person he's asking face their own answer, so we all know his thing is using words against people if it benefits him. (Ohhh, that's a bit like that other guy, isn't it? Thingy. Whathisname. You know the one I mean, right? Aye, that one! What was his name??) Come to think of it this probably explains all the Praise Kink lokius fic as well - we noticed him using words to trigger a reaction and we noticed that it works.

The "seismic narcissist" line isn't his honest assessment and he doesn't actually think there's a Superior Loki. He also said Sylvie had been pruned just to see how Loki would react, but we all got that one, possibly because it can't be used to prove that the show hates its own protagonist and invented Mobius to voice that hatred in the text.

The post abt how different nrw mobius is in the trailer and he talks a lot *headcanon that mobius is a loki variant intensifies*

oooooh 👀 hopefully a Loki variant who's gotten to use a jet ski before 🤞
