Back to making posters, here's one that is FINALLY in the style of my Young Volcanoes poster, my first popular poster! I know these kinds blow up more so it's a mystery why I never made more.

The background image is the amazing Internal view of the O'Neill cylinder (2015) painting by Don Davis (public domain! go use it in your artworks, moodboard... I loved it so much I uploaded it to Landing!)

2 episodes into KAOS and weeped...

first of all. dionysus. just. fucking dionysus.

that man is all i needed to cure my emotional support spirit slut deficiency. bububuub that's not the point. (it kinda is)

this show reminds me so much of the umbrella academy it makes me cry. i mean, the music. THE MUSIC !!!!! i haven't even finished episode 2 and hold on i'm coming and the passenger both ???? did you expect me not to notice that???? did you expect me not to clutch my heart and die on the spot????

and when you took dionysus to the cave did you expect that it would not remind me of soul kitchen and kill me???? did you expect my brain not to be filled with SÉANCE in a mere second????? thank god for this. all my love right now goes to my friend who made me watch this, but that's another story.

just jessuuuusus chrrrrissttttt did you expect me not to think of klaus hargreeves my beloved while you showed me dionysus cackling in the front and backseat of the car, while orpheus is freaked out like that? did you expect that you could give me a funeral and a down-toned yet cuntingly dressed dionysus fixated on the one thing everyone else wasn't, be a step behind every movement during the ceremony, give him a purpose right there and i wouldn't start crying WE ONLY SEE EACH OTHER AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS???

and THE UNDERWORLD, oh, the underworld. it gave me tua and loki at the same time. the tva especially from the point where we see hades (god praise david thewlis). and the black and white filter and the buildings and the educational video.

and caneus??? him dying like that??? did you expect that i would not start laughing and crying in hysteria just the way we all did as klaus died and came back to life?

hell, the boat thing even reminded me of old Korean myths on the afterlife. bloody beautiful. i can't.

the whole show is just a reminder of tua and i can't believe--- if i hadn't found it---

it's just the same vibe yk??? the usage of music???

this is so unorganized and i'll probably regret posting this later, but i just had to get it out and written before it all flew out of me. there's so much more that i noticed from this !!! ugh !!!! i'm so happy right now. i can't describe it. vero.

also...

i found this almost exactly one and a half day after i fell in love with klaus (started tua). now, talking with my friend, i basically said the same thing but about dionysus. ugh thank god to kaos existing for a tua slut like this.

kaos will not replace the umbrella academy but further ignite the hold it has on me, the love i have for it...

Loki episode 5 reaction and initial thoughts

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I can’t believe it! I’m so unused to getting what I hope for with Loki in movies and TV that I almost don’t know what to do when you get almost exactly what you’d hoped for!!!!!   (Within the bounds of this being the TVA version of Loki of course.) That was excellent!  And hit most of the key things I was hoping for as well as giving some absolutely charming additions!

It packed in a lot of story, and it was a delight to see the characters on the timeline. It wasn’t as gripping and tense as the last episode, but that's probably a good thing for my stress levels lol! But it was a really lovely time travel story.

And Loki has unlocked a new ability. Maybe.

The opening music!! Perfectly creepy!  And even more so than the music over the credits of the last episode. It really sounded like the disintegration of reality!

And I loved the way the letters disappeared from the Loki title card… *shivers*

It was a small thing, but nice to see at least one thing I’d guessed correct – that they started the episode with the reverse of this shot at the end of episode 4.

I loved how spooky it was having Loki walk through the corridors of the TVA by himself. And I did rather enjoy the moment he almost met himself.  That was cute. But it was clear that they needed to get on to other things quite quickly – there was a lot in this episode!!

The imagery of the universe disintegrating was perfectly terrifying! (Although I was getting big “snap” vibes.)  And what is Fail Safe Mode? And does it matter?

I was a little sad to see Casey was a prisoner. 😔   But I wonder if we’ll see these timeline versions of the characters again?  I feel like the need for them is over? Unless maybe briefly at the start of the last episode. So we didn't have to watch him being particularly horrible.

I didn’t pick that he’d be the first person Loki would visit, nor did I pick that it would all be unintentional. 

I did like the way Loki still hoped that Mobius would recognise him. And the conversation itself was ambiguous enough I suppose for the first couple of sentences that you could interpret it that way. Poor Loki looked so disappointed!

I laughed as was intended at the imitation of the inflatable advertising character.  😁

And then OB!!!  Omg!  I LOVE what they chose to do with his character!!!  He was so sweet, and retained his enthusiastic and super intelligent personality! I hadn’t really settled on what I thought OB might have been like on the timeline, but this was so much better! And how he was like “and I had to get a PHD to keep my day job as a theoretical physicist”….!  😄

And @pinkpondofasgard I hope you’ve seen this episode when you see this mention, because spoilers - looks like you were right about this being a location from OB’s past!  Which I think is super cool!  I don’t have any idea what this would be in the 1990s in the US, but obviously it worked so well for OB that he replicated it in the TVA!  Unless this whole series all turns out to be his dream… Ha ha! Ha…. ha…… er…  Anyway. I love that so many of the shelves are covered in books instead of technical TVA equipment.

Okay, so now I’m seriously thinking there’s a chance OB might actually be the founder of the TVA.  HWR could easily have come along later and taken over the leadership and wiped his memories.  But the fact the rooms are sooooo similar is just a bit too weird.

I did like how they handled Loki explaining things to Mobius.  Mobius was suitably sceptical and Loki was trying so hard not to sound threatening, but that’s not really his bag, is it. Lol! Things would definitely have gone pear shaped if OB hadn’t turned up.

I feel like Loki’s getting a lot of use out of the phrase “I promise you this will make sense” lol!

While I was kinda looking forward to the multiple crazy conversations while Loki tries to convince people he’s not mad, I do appreciate they had to make this quick, and I liked how they made each interaction shorter than the one before it, until he didn’t even need to say anything after stepping through the time door.

Then there was Sylvie.  I was by this point just as surprised as Loki that she kept her memories.  Now I have to assume that’s because she wasn’t ever a TVA worker who had her memories wiped.  But if that’s the case, then why wasn’t she in the Loom room with Loki when he ‘woke up’?  I’m assuming we’re meant to understand that this is because Loki feels most at home in the TVA, rather than Asgard. I find that's a little bit much, personally.  But I guess I’ll put that one to the side for the moment.

I did not expect her to be so adamant about not helping.  I mean I should have, but I didn’t. Their conversation at the bar was interesting, and I liked that Loki was so concerned that the TVA folk get a choice.  (And I kinda think now that they might, come the end of the season.  With OB choosing to stay because it’s literally his dream, Casey because it’s better than being an escaped prisoner, and B-15 and Mobius choosing to leave.)

The whole scene in the record shop – that was cool!  The small things that went wrong first, and the way the store owner slowly noticed it. *shivers*

Although again, very similar to the snap. I like how small objects vanish first, and I really should have seen that coming when the tempad went missing, but I didn’t.  I think there was just so much squashed into this episode!

And this was such a haunting image.

And then Sylvie says “there’s nowhere left to go” before she too disintegrates.  Eeeee!

Again, this looked really cool!  Are we meant to understand that Loki could hear a moment in the timeline of a person each time he touched a thread?  I wonder if that holds for any thread? Or was that just illustrating his memories?

I’m not sure that’s important though, given he almost immediately jumps back to the TVA, but we haven’t seen this image from the mid-season trailer yet. Not one from this angle where Sylvie is still whole, and where Loki is standing confidently and making this specific gesture.  I wonder now if he’s just snapped his fingers? Perhaps this moment is revisited, or perhaps just an alternate take that looked cool for the trailer.

I did like the ending, and how he jumped back to them all to tell them he’d figured out how to do it.  I wonder if he’ll be able to come back to them under his own steam at a later date? 

I’m still not entirely sure if this is something that in integral to Loki now or whether its related to circumstances. Like will it be possible to time-slip after the TVA is restored? If that means going back within the TVA before the moment he started time-slipping in the first place. *shrug*

So, what point did he jump back to?  There’s an alarm blaring in the background, but no other identifying things.  So I’m guessing this is just as they watch Timely go down the stairs to suit up?

Does he try to stop Timely from going out there? Explain it didn’t work, and then ask OB for information in the last few moment before jumping back further?

And more importantly, after the multiverse is saved, does this mean he can jump to the time and place of any person he cares about?  Could he visit his Mum? Or a Thor?!! 🥲

Ah!  This was a really great time travel episode! And I'm thoroughly looking forward to the final episode.

[finalrespite]

So do you remember at the US Fanfest last year? Kate Cwynar and Koji Fox held a fun panel about localization, and if they had time they would go over fan-submitted lore Q&A? But they didn't, so Kate was like "here is a quick look at slides with some of the questions, we'll get something more formal posted on the Lodestone later!"

Did... anything ever come of that?
