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.

New Redesigns of Some Old (old) OCs!

I had this comic I used to draw for my sister to read when I was about 8-10 years old. It was called Sammy's World and was about a girl named Samantha, her two best friends, her crush on a nice boy and the rivalry for said boy's heart that she had with her arch nemesis, a spoiled rich girl.

Now doesn't that storyline sound familiar? *cough* Miraculous Ladybug *cough* *cough* Dork Diaries *cough* *cough* Anything disney *cough* the 2000s in a nutshell *cough*.

I'm rewriting this for fun and I'm going to make the story more silly and light-hearted. There might even be a bit of the supernatural thrown in!

------

Each Drawing From Top to Bottom

-Carlos and Sammy with obvious crushes on each other, but are too dense to see that the other likes them too. At least they can talk to each other and are pretty good friends (looking at you Marinette!)

-Sammy in her daydream dance ballgown. Of course, this story has a 'The Big Dance' and of course, our main girl has to daydream about attending in a dress her parents can never find, much less afford. Too bad she isn't a budding fashion designer.

Some Single Character Illustrations!

From left to right:

-Samantha (Sammy) in her everyday clothes.

-Aubrey the perceived rich-girl nemesis. Very rich she (her parents) is (are), nemesis? Eh, well....

-Mimi- twin #1 and one of Aubrey's creepy minions (not for the reason you think)

-Bibi- twin #2 and Aubrey's other creepy minion (I said not for the reason you think!)

There are more characters to come, like Sammy's friends and more of Carlos. I just have to draw and colour them in tediously, but surprisingly relaxing (ly?) with coloured pencils.
