“That was one of the cruxes of my pitch [for the series], that there was going to be a love story,” head writer Michael Waldron explains to Marvel.com. “We went back and forth for a little bit about, like do we really want to have this guy fall in love with another version of himself? Is that too crazy? But in a series that, to me, is ultimately about self-love, self-reflection, and forgiving yourself, it just felt right that that would be Loki’s first real love story.”
— Michael Waldron, Loki head writer, for Marvel.com
When I started the show, that was always in the DNA of it—that Loki was going to meet a version of himself and they were going to fall in love. And that’s honestly what drew me into the story, because I directed Sex Education. I love stories about self-love and finding your identity and your people. Loki is such a broken character when we join him, and seeing him go on this amazing journey with all this growth and finding the good points of himself in seeing her—I think that was very beautiful.
— Kate Herron, Loki director, for Esquire
Herron says thematically, Loki falling for Sylvie is an exploration of “self-love,” but only in the sense that it’s Loki learning to understand his own motives and integrity. “[The show is] looking at the self and asking ‘What makes us us?’” Herron says. “I mean, look at all the Lokis across the show, they’re all completely different. I think there’s something beautiful about his romantic relationship with Sylvie, but they’re not interchangeable.”
— Kate Herron, Loki director, for Polygon
“When I started, Michael [Waldron] had written the pilot. Then, there was a second episode written by Elissa [Karasik], and Bisha’s [Ali] episode was written. So, there was a rough shape of the show. It was already fixed in that Loki was gonna be arrested by the TVA and then it had this twist that he was going to try and solve the mystery of who this other Loki was, but then it pivots and becomes this love story about him falling in love with himself. I just thought that was so inspired and the message that had about self-love. I just really wanted to be part of that.”
— Kate Herron, Loki director, for Buzzfeed
Meanwhile, when Loki and Sylvie are stranded on 2077 Lamentis-1, a moon about to be crushed by a planet, the dystopian look is defined by pink and purple during their series of walk and talks. “There was a big discussion of what that should be and then what [shade of] purple and pink,” Arkapaw said. “We came up with a palette as part of the character beats. We wanted a colorful environment to serve the romantic emotions.
— Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Loki cinematographer, for IndieWire
Yeah, the scene where Loki and Sylvie, you know, their connection scene in episode 4 where they set off the TVA alarm bells and it’s so off the grid off what should be happening there. That one was really hard to get the right tone for. If it was too subtle, it didn’t play right. I tried a much more understated version of it and then I just did this bombastic, love-in-space, the world is ending sound, just this huge, sweeping love moment and it just seemed to work with whatever it is that they brought to the table. I mean, I don’t think anyone quite knows what’s between them, whether it’s this narcissistic moment or the system or whatever the connection they have to each other, it’s still something really powerful. But yeah, that was the most challenging thing to score.
— Natalie Holt, Loki composer, for ScreenRant
“It’s subtle,” Di Martino says of the flirtationship between the two Lokis. “I didn’t want to make it too easy for them to be really open with each other because they’re characters that have huge walls built up around themselves. They cannot trust other people. And it’s a very vulnerable position that they’re both in feeling that they like another person. It’s all tied into this idea of self-love—and whether they can each find something in themselves that they can like.” “I think everyone feels lonely at times,” she adds. “And it’s great to have some glimmer of hope that your person is out there.”
— Sophia Di Martino for Esquire
“He says something really nice to her before they kiss,” Di Martino recalls. “Loki basically says, ‘I’ve always hurt everyone I’ve always been close to. I’m a horrible person, but you’ve changed me because I care about you, and I want you to be OK.’ And for someone to say, ‘I want you to be OK,’ it’s such a nice thing to hear, especially for someone who’s damaged as Sylvie. It sort of breaks her heart a little bit because she just wants herself to be OK as well. For someone else to acknowledge that, and to see her in that way and to just see her, is so powerful.”
— Sophia Di Martino for Marvel.com
The only thing — or, well person – who gives Sylvie pause is Loki himself. After the two share a moment on Lamentis-1 that’s so powerful it causes a straight up and down spike on the timeline, it’s clear that there’s something more brewing between them. Di Martino herself likens the pair to “two teenagers who have never had these feelings before.” “Obviously, Tom’s a super charming, very easy to fall-in-love-with guy. With Sylvie, I was really aware that she’s never had feelings like this about anybody. This is a hugely vulnerable position for her to be in. I really wanted it to be not too easy for her to just sort of go there. It’s that moment where it’s so awkward. They just don’t know how to put it into words. They don’t know how to behave around each other. It’s all a bit too intense and a bit much.”
— Sophia Di Martino for Marvel.com

TW: discussion of ephebophilia (sexual attraction to adolescent children). In general, the contents of this poll can be upsetting, so please be careful.
*There was also another episode (if I’m not mistaken, from season 15), but I don’t remember its number.
