Would Sylvie Use HWR’s Tempad To See Loki?
Note: I haven’t watched S2 more than once yet (life’s been busy) so if I missed something where Sylvie loses the Tempad then that’s why.
Since the only ways to get to the End of Time is to go through Alioth or use HWR’s tempad, I’ve been wondering if Sylvie would use the tempad to see Loki.
Personally, I don’t think so. Sylvie cares about Loki, but I don’t think enough to see it. Throughout S2, Sylvie was mostly disagreeing or getting upset with Loki and she didn’t want to see him after killing HWR. Also, I think Sylvie has this practical mindset where she doesn’t see the point of visiting him when she’s not going to stay. She could see it as painful for Loki since it could be argued that being exposed to something you desire then have it go away is worse than not having it at all since you’re used to it.
Sylki Rewrite
(Note: Although I don’t like Sylki, I don’t have a problem with anyone who ships them.) Warning: Internalized Homophobia Mention
Two weeks ago, I binged the Loki series. To put it shortly, I loved it! Loki has one of the best character development I’ve ever seen. He moved past his insecurities and realized what he truly wanted- to be loved and seen. The time aspect was easy to digest and didn’t complicate or overinflate the concept too much. I loved the new characters, especially Mobius and O.B. Mobius and Loki’s chemistry was amazing and so natural, which makes sense since Mobius was his first friend. O.B. was lovable and so nerdy. I hope they both return to future projects. Though I didn’t connect with her as much, B-15 was a good addition, and would be happy to see her return. When it comes to Sylvie, I'm mixed with her. She’s well-written for the most part, but I didn’t like the Sylki romance in S1, and her attitude got irritating in S2 (I'll most likely write a separate post on it). Alongside thinking Loki being attracted to a version of himself is weird, their romance felt rushed and unnatural. I couldn’t really see Loki being attracted to/like/in love with someone that quickly and Sylvie looked like she barely tolerated him, even in the second season. Honestly, I think this romance was pushed by Disney instead of the writers, mainly because there was a moment in Episode 4 where Mobius rants about how strange the attraction was. I’d like to think that was the writers calling out Disney for how weird this idea was. I would’ve liked it more if Loki and Sylvie had a sibling-like relationship. I would’ve written it where Loki feels protective of Sylvie because he sees a bit of himself in her such as his anger, loneliness, and wish to belong somewhere. But, he also respects her because she lived alone and in survival mode, teaching herself how to use magic and escape death. In turn, Sylvie sort of resents Loki, especially when he mentions his relationship with Frigga, since he lived in Asgard and had a family while she lived alone and in fear. I would have a scene where Sylvie lashes out at him (maybe when he accidentally breaks the Tempad), calling him a fool for taking his family’s love for granted. On the other hand, Loki snapped and said how she had the chance to be her true self while Loki lived under Thor’s shadow and Asgard’s expectations. Maybe go as far as to mention how he felt he had to hide his bisexuality and genderfluidity out of fear of not being accepted. By the end of the argument, both realize how their pain does not absolve others and that there is good and bad in their lives. Other than the kiss scene, the scene with Loki trying to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains was great.
I was so glad S2 left the ship behind. It was one of the reasons why I think S2 is a big improvement. I can’t really describe their relationship since there are moments when they get along but there are others when Sylvie is really standoffish and doesn't seem to like Loki. Maybe the closest description would be bickering siblings, which is close to what I wanted.
Did anyone else get nervous that there would be a Sylki kiss in the S2 finale? I was, especially when he was trying to stop her from killing HWR again. If they did, it would've messed with my enjoyment since there was no indication in previous episodes that they were continuing the romance. Thankfully, they didn't and the finale was perfect, even if it broke my heart that Loki will live alone for as long as he's alive. I wanted him to be happy with everyone.

Listen.
I’ve been in the Lokius trenches since Day 1. The rest of my family is hardcore Team Sylki. It takes A LOT to get these two ships to even be civil with one another.
But the season finale? This is a time for brotherhood.
We will mourn together the loss of our almost-canon ships. We will sing the funeral dirges as our hopes of Season 3 goes to die. We will swap fanfics and theories and song requests on playlists to make TikTok edits to. And at the end of it all, we’ll mourn the idea of Loki, whose greatest fear was being alone, taking up the Glorious Burden and never getting his happy ending.
Perhaps tomorrow it will all be normal once again. Back to the Twitter threads and the spats over Tumblr. But this? This is true fandom spirit.
We’re a family. And family means putting aside our differences and giving a hefty “Fuck you” to canon with both middle fingers up. Bless this mess.
i still can’t believe the lokius and sylki fandoms finally agree on one thing and it’s how terrible that ending was
Welp, Loki Season 2 is over. We’re all in hell, but at least we had fun on the way.
I love him so much!😘💋
Happy belated birthday to the best episode in television history dayum
I am watching Loki and on season 2 episode 3 I think and why is the clock trying to seduce this man?
2 things about the Loki season 2 premere:
1. I'm from Oklahoma, and I don't think I sound like that thank you very much.
2. I'm getting real Legion vibes, and I don't know if that's because it's the best Marvel show to ever exist or because of the orange and the time period or what. I'd lose my shit if Switch or David showed up, but I'm a realist.

Happy New year everyone! This year's animal is a snake, so I drew Loki (again) (｡･ω･｡)

TOM NOOO :((
"I would say the most tears were shed, funnily enough, on that big chair at the end. It was really interesting. There was a take where I couldn't help it, it all just sort of came tumbling out and the next take was actually much more interesting because I sort of had the experience of having felt it and then it was just all there in...I don't know, it's a hard thing to describe. Uhm, as a performer, I didn't have to reach for anything because my...I felt more open somehow. It was there."

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.
Keeper of Yggdrasil
I have a lot of Thoughts about the Loki series as a whole BUT the visual of Yggdrasil and the timelines was absolutely stunning, so I knew I had to do a rendition of it with a new costume. I loved the idea of Loki physically becoming part of the Tree, with all the branches washing over him like veins, obscuring old pieces of armour and melding with his true Jotun form. (and of course I had to do a glowy eyes version!)

Am I the only one who looks at TVA pie and finds it disgusting? Vit is so tasteless in appearance. It pains me to see Loki and Mobius eat it. Sorry 😭
I was so looking forward to seeing Loki in his Jotun form, god. Too little of it in its original beauty! And where did the long hair go?(((
I LITERALLY choked on tears and coughed as I continued to cry. The series is not sad, but the maturation of the character (Loki) made the ending of season 2 incredibly emotional. But the best thing about this serial is that there is a fandom that will keep me crying, but over fanfics and Tumblr posts. Good luck to all fans, I understand and love you!
nothin' just two pretty siblings
i want them to do me
yall have to tell me if im crazy;
did loki MAKE yggdrasil??? or something to that effect?
id like to think that at some point in loki’s vast attempts at getting the loom to work he knew he would take a while so he just decided “fuck it” and him and mobius finally got their kiss
(please turn that into a fanfic im too lazy to write plus i suck ass at it)
