the thing about loki fixing his hair before going to talk to mobius, is that it wasn't an anxious sort of thing, he wasn't doing it cause he was stressed and he didn't know what to say. it wasn't just about him wanting to look good for his husband.
no, this was slow and deliberate, a complete reset. a way of telling himself "this is mobius, the only person in the universe who actually understands me, and he doesn't know that right now, so i cannot fuck this up, because, god, i like him, so much, and i don't know what i would do if i lost him."

Loki: "It's about who."
I love Lokius as much as the next fangirl, but Loki isn't looking at anyone in particular when he says that it's about "who". He says the line right between Mobius and Sylvie, where no one is standing, because it is not his friends that are the "who", it's him. It's about who HE is. This story is about Loki discovering who he is and becoming a version of himself that he can love.
...and who is he? The God of Stories. THIS is what I climbed aboard the Loki series train for before it even left the station in season one. Give me all the Agent of Asgard vibes!

EPISODE 5 OF LOKI
SPOILERS!!
.
.
.
That episode played with my heartstrings so much I can't. This show is my magnum opus I swear. The way this episode had me almost cry when I saw Mobius being a single dad with jet skis warmed my heart AND Ouroborus trying to get his book published and being his lovable dorky self.
Loki and Sylvie's impeccably written scene at the bar, the revelation of Loki being able to finally control his time slipping.
I could write all about how beautiful and well-written this episode was. I can't wait for episode six.

okay so, loki helping mobius through the portal thingy, which could be classified as a "gal pals" move, if it weren't for one specific thing. loki turned back. before mobius was even stepping through, loki turned back. this wasn't a "oh, i see you struggling, let me give you a boost," it was, "i'm here for you, i care about you and i won't let you fall." this is the kind of physical touch that shows something soul binding, proof that loki will never leave mobius behind. a way to say he is someone to be trusted, someone to be loved.

Wow I love that s2e5 of Loki was completely pointless
For everyone except Loki
Hear me out!! Seriously, none of that happened. None of it mattered. To anyone but Loki. It was entirely for his benefit, for his character development, for his knowledge. And that was amazing! I’m just gonna try and list all of the amazing parts
1) Loki is seemingly the only one unaffected by the unraveling of time
2) Loki learns to control his time slipping, making him the only one capable of moving through space, time, and dimensions
3) Loki’s time slipping (and his eventual control of it) is entirely emotionally based!!! (I love that trope so so much, I think it should be the standard for anyone with powers tbh!)
4) Loki is finally forced to admit his motivations, the deep one, the selfish one. Because let’s be honest. Everyone has selfish motivations. No one is completely selfless, let alone Loki. But it was so so important for him to acknowledge what he Actually Wanted for once! The one thing he’s always wanted. To belong. To not be alone. To have people around him who love and care for him and for whom he can love and care for too. It does a wonderful job of calling back to his explanations of his actions in season 1: about fear as a tool of the weak to appear strong. He pretends to be evil and cruel to hide how lonely he is. It’s a well known Loki fact (to me at least) that Loki only did horrible acts because he wanted attention. Every time he did something bad, Thor chased after him. It was their dynamic. But the moment Thor said “I’m done.” (Ragnarok) Loki realized his tricks wouldn’t work. He did something good instead, because being bad no longer got him what he wanted. But he was unable to admit that to himself. But now he did!! He admitted what he wanted and it was so so important
5) Loki took charge! He gathered the crew! He was allowed to have agency!
6) Loki had a great conversation with Sylvie! Again! He didn’t cave, he didn’t flop, he didn’t grovel! He did ask for her help, but he accepted her decision with grace. They spoke as equals and I loved it
Gosh it was so Loki-centric and amazing. His time slipping back to before any of it happened means it was JUST FOR HIM! Only he experienced it, only he has the memories, only he gained the perspective, only he developed as a character, only he got to drive the plot. It’s so different from anything they did in the first season. The enTIRE EPISODE was PURELY for LOKI’S benefit, in the LOKI SHOW. Like hello!!! Finally!!
