also can we just talk about the contrast between when loki is conflicted about their feelings for sylvie, how they smoothly speak on metaphors about love and daggers, they conjure a blanket to share with her, all rizz and no hesitancy. and then with don/mobius it's all adjusting the fit and stumbling over their words and soft reassurances followed quickly by declarations of how important mobius is to them???
#i keep thinking about the 'it's okay it's okay' when mobius was starting to get freaked out#how they helped walk him through the time door#like the way they handle mobius with such care makes me CRAZY#we've seen them both be soft towards each other#but usually it's more so mobius handing out that gentle love so openly and i'm going insane over getting to see how reciprocated that is#i love this season really honing in on how much loki has changed since they first arrived at the TVA#and how it's so evident that change began because of mobius#i'm going fucking bonkers over these two i am deranged#loki series#loki spoilers#lokius#txt: icarus has a bout of madness#marvel

i've seen a lot of anger over a certain interview today and like, i get it. to be discredited and told the subtext that's definitely there isn't valid and was never meant to be interpreted romantically sucks. but i also think a lot fans forget that these people work under disney, a conglomerate known for being homophobic, and they probably wouldn't keep their jobs if they went into interviews and gave any answers that positively endorse or confirm a queer relationship from one of said conglomerate's most popular, most successful shows. they definitely wouldn't be able to continue to write the subtext we've gotten either. so idk i just think we should keep that in mind

quick someone give me the energy to write (and finish!!!!!) a lokius fanfic inspired by howl's moving castle and the lines: 'i know how to help you now, find me in the future!' and 'there you are, sweetheart. sorry i'm late, i've been looking for you everywhere.'

something something ouroboros being the one on the end of that ominously ringing phone we've been left to wonder about since the first episode is another nod to 'the snake eating its own tail' and how all events that occur are connected, in one way or another, for all time - always.

i'm devastated but like in a good way, and I have a lot of lokius thoughts I need to jot down before i pull a timely and become spaghetti
spoilers for season 2's finale below !!
so in this house, lokius is alive and thriving - because listen:
Firstly, i've seen a lot of people upset with the finale and while that's super valid, here's some positive thoughts on why I kinda sorta dig what was given to us.
the recap never included that one ship while catching up on the main plot points of everything that has happened since the show's beginning. I think that should be pointed out idk.
from a fic writer standpoint the fact that Loki spent CENTURIES??? (+however long fighting sylvie and having repeating conversations with HWR) Like literally a huge chunk of time we don't see trying to fix things has so much potential. I'm giddy abt that ngl
That when Loki needed advice most, he time-slipped to Mobius to ask him his opinion. Not only that, he time-slipped to when they don't know each other yet, because he wants a Mobius who is unbiased. He's aware that were he to go to a place in the timeline where they're now close, Mobius would try and talk him out of abandoning all hope.
He knows, much like with Mobius' story, he's been hesitating to look past himself - to see the bigger picture, instead of what he wants. That hesitation has led to years and years of consequences, Loki failing each and every time, similar to how the officer of Mobius' story delaying the prune of a variant led to an eruption of consequences that resulted in the harm of their comrades too.
What Loki wants is save his friends, ultimately. At first, he wants to save his friends and be able to experience life amongst the timeline branches with them. He tells Sylvie he doesn't know where he would belong without them. What Loki realizes in the end is that to give them the choice he believes they deserve, he has to make a choice of his own. In the end, he finds belonging (at least for now, because I refuse to believe this is the end of TVA Loki's storyline) in putting those he loves before himself and what he wants, something Loki has done only a handful of times throughout the entire Marvel series. He needs that growth character-wise because, as we know, he will be involved in the next big phase.
I think that Loki time-slipping to ask Mobius for advice parallels last episode's 'it's about WHO' again. Who has given him the chance to be a better version of himself the entire show? Who helped him overcome his deep distrust in others, learning to care for them instead - so much so that he sacrificed himself to protect them? And again, Mobius is who Loki went to when he was lost and his words are what guided Loki to the decision he made.
A Sylvie and Mobius scene where Sylvie is seen caring for Mobius in the aftermath??? Mobius wasn't offering comfort to Sylvie, he was depicted as more distraught than she was. In fact, I'd say they really wanted to get across how 'alone' he felt with Loki's absence, standing watching a life he never knew from afar.
(there's a whole unpacking i want to do here about how we previously saw Loki looking longingly across the street watching Don's life too, before whisking Don away from his mundane family life for a greater purpose; something about Mobius looking at that life and recognizing there's a missing piece to it, and it's back in a place he no longer feels he fits because the TVA is missing something too; something about Loki 'supposedly' finding where he belongs, but not Mobius. those are thoughts for another post though lmaoooo)
I think they left Mobius' arc open-ended because he still hasn't achieved that greater purpose. That's (hopefully) because it's meant to be fleshed out in either a later season or next movies to come. And (hopefully x2), that purpose becomes Mobius helping to somehow save Loki from his current fate.
The final moments?? Hello??? Mobius' voice echoing as we pan in on Loki holding the branches together, teary-eyed with a soft, melancholic smile??? Seeming to be listening in on Mobius amongst the branches??? Mobius' 'let time pass' because he doesn't know how to move on from losing Loki?? Come onnnn, the tragic angst in just those shots were CHEF KISS
Overall, I know it's a let down not to have an actual canon status but I mean - were we really expecting the mouse to come through for us??? At least, we didn't get a 'no homo' moment so I count that as a win against rickey the rat. Lokius survived the finale, and that's what really mattered for me tbh.
Like idk, I could also be biased because I kinda, really dig tragedy and slow burn angst. And that's what this finale gave us, along with so many possibilities !! Them being separated leaves so much that can happen !! Like, like - Mobius has the opportunity to have an arc about saving his bae from holding time together indefinitely - from Loki's greatest fear, being left alone. Mobius getting into marvel shenanigans in an attempt to reunite with Loki somehow is beautifully romantic to me ya'll idk. I am delusional and I fully embrace that fact.
Okay honestly this isn't even ALL MY THOUGGHTS I HAVE MORE but this is getting long so I'm stopping here (currently: sending morse code signals out to help pull me back from the brink of insanity)
#loki spoilers#loki season 2#lokius#i might have went overboard with this im ngl#i'm just doing backflips about my blorbos and i can't stop ok#save me from myself i am foaming at the mouth i am rabid racoon that needs to be tased#i will not release my grubby little fingers from these two fictional goofballs you can't make me!!!!#txt: icarus has a bout of madness#marvel

really thought ever seeing cgi realism spaghettification would be kinda silly funny, like. slightly horrifying, overall comedic (see: scarlet witch making pasta outta reed richards). loki series said yea about that, instead here's some nightmare fuel consequences for goofin around with raw time you're welcome and good night

also yeah it's 2023 and that this is still happening where we have to fight for queer representation in big name media is frustratingly asinine and i am just as disappointed. but i'm also not surprised because i was expecting this, i guess. like - disney can't let me down if i already know they're problematic garbage, y'know? and honestly a writer having the worst take ever on their own show (though I do lean towards the idea that they're just saying nonsensical shit atp to avoid trouble because?? not knowing loki's mindset as a show writer makes absolutely NO sense what do you even MEAN) just motivates me to write and rewrite what's been given to us to circumvent whatever 'intentions' they had that led to a Very Gay tragic love story lmao
#loki spoilers#lokius#loki series#marvel#txt: icarus has a bout of madness#me @ loki writers: AHEMHMH that is not correct because according to the encyclopedia of PLPLPLPLPPP-

the desperate way i need the continuation of mobius’ story to be filmed like that one scene in the twilight series with a slow panning circle around mobius as he stands right where we left off while seasons change around him
#I don’t KNOW I’m just SICK#half joking abt the desperation half not#but just the thought of mobius WAITING because he doesn’t know how to move forward is tragically beautiful to me#and also WILD marvel send me ur location I just wanna talk#loki series#loki season 2#loki spoilers#LOKIUS#txt: icarus has a bout of madness#marvel
