LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.

Why are reblogs more important than likes on tumblr

Tumblr has always had a problem with the like to reblog ratio but ever since other media's users came over to this site, it's only gotten worse and now that tik tok's about to be banned in the US, this might only become more visible with those users potentially looking for a new fandom space, or a website in general.

examples: (three old posts, three new posts)

Firstly, what are reblogs? A reblog is when someone uses the Reblog button to put a post on their blog. It adds to the notes and is still linked to the op (original poster). How do reblogs differ from reposts?

What do reblogs do? Reblogs are one of the main ways of how this site shows its posts. Tumblr has no agorhitm which means that everything you see is user curated. -they go on the dash (dashboard) of those who follow you -they let you organise the posts on your blog(s) via tags -they can be viewed in your blog's archive as well as the archives of everyone who reblogs the post (if they have their archives on) -they let you add to the post you're reblogging -they remain unaffected regardless of whether the op edits or deletes their original post What are likes and what they do/don't do? Likes on tumblr work very similarly to likes on other social media except they don't add to the algorhitm (because there is none). It's a way to let the op/reblogger know that you like their post/tags, or sometimes, you'll see people liking their own posts that have additions because they want to show that they viewed said addition and liked it or they simply like the tags. And yes, we do like our own posts even if there are no additions, at least I do, they're nice. This is fine and you shouldn't shame people for it.

-the like section doesn't have an archive so unless you move your likes to a side blog (like I have) and make them into reblogs, you will have to scroll...a lot...if you want to browse them -the post you liked changes as soon as the op, or the blog you liked the post on if you didn't like the op's version directly, edits or deletes the post -likes can sometimes appear on your dash (though rarely) when a person you follow likes something (you will see this recommended as liked by -url-) or you might get a based on your likes post (again, not very common)

Likes do not help to boost/make the post more visible. They're simply just a way to communicate. The site stays alive with reblogs and original posts.

in case anyone else needs it :)

Hi, guys. 😊💕
