(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.
At some point in Loki (the show), I want Loki to accidentally turn into his Jötunn (start turning blue and growing tall) in front of Mobius. He gets scared and tries hiding since he was taught to keep that part of him hidden, which made him feel ashamed of it. Mobius immediately stops him, takes Loki’s face in between his hands, and says, “Loki, you’re beautiful.” Close to tears, Loki holds onto Mobius’ hands and leans his head against his. Since then, Loki feels more comfortable switching to his Jötunn form because he knows Mobius will be there as his support.
If anyone ever complains about Loki’s form, Mobius won’t hesitant to defend him. By the end of it, they’ll be too scared to even look at Loki for days. After the first time, Loki kind of hopes it’ll happen because he finds scary Mobius attractive.
Loki Series relationships be like
they’re besties they’re worsties their relationship is undefinable they’re coworkers they’re lying to each other they’re gay in love they have 1038430 mental illnesses and are banned from most timelines
Loki and Sylvie both wanted to see what was beyond the TVA. Sylvie because she wanted to destroy it, and Loki, because he wanted to rule it. So if Sylvie’s goal was to take down the dictator and create the power void, Loki’s was to fill the void.
They’re the gambit.
This is the first Loki Series meme I agreed w/ 1000%
HOLY CRAP! I didn’t expect all of this! They’re so awkward and adorable 😫
Happy birthday to the amazing, handsome, and under appreciated Owen Wilson. Passing a full year of being obsessed with this man was both concerning and sweet. And here is my baby turning 56 🙃. I hope he has/had the most fulfilling and joyful 56th birthday possible. One more time, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OWEN! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Today marks the day that Loki Season 2 was released. A full year of tears, a full year of fan-love, and a full year of WTFs… This fandom is still going strong and I am so happy to be apart of it. Even though i’ve gone through the whole grieving process of the final episode, I will still shout, “LOKI SHOULD HAVE KISSED THAT OLD MAN!”… Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
getting mixed emotions after realizing that Mobius is always clean cut while Don has a bit of stubble. crying and salivating 😢🤤

Thank you all for your support in spreading the word!! It truly means a lot to me☺️💕
got a random boost of creative energy (rare) so i made this. it’s kinda bad but whatever. i love Mobius with everything i am… i made this with the motivation of him missing Loki? not sure if that message made it across

where did they find the a live footage of me??
Mobius, walking while carrying Loki in his arms: So let me get this straight. I got you permission to use magic at the TVA.
Loki: Yes.
Mobius: And you could do pretty much anything you want.
Loki: Yes.
Mobius: And the first thing you do is make yourself lighter so I can carry you?
Loki, closing his eyes and resting his head on Mobius's shoulder: Yes.
I love how they are kind of like separate from the others
WE ARE SO BACK! WISH I WAS THERE
on my knees for him ong
Mobius S01 - E02
Sorry what? I can't hear you on account of this scene making blaring noises in my head at all times
ngl, i’m tired as fuck of letting time pass. i need these boys to get thier shit together and fuck dirty in asgard
i ride by this place every morning and all i can think is, is this a loki reference?
they ate this analysis UPPPPP! like DAMNNNN
This is a sort of combo of two metas that didn't quite get point my across. Some parts will be copied directly, but there's a lot of original content. I will discuss the ship between Loki and Mobius, their place in the show, and the MCU at large. My focus for this meta won't be parallels or motifs, because these things border on well-written friendships. But there will be some of that.
There are a lot of straight couples in the MCU. (Almost) Every main hero is in some heterosexual relationship, Loki included.
(That's not all, not remotely).
But in the LGBTQ+ department... uh.. I think it was mentioned that Valkyrie had a girlfriend... uh... America Chavez had a pride pin... and Loki:
One line. Queer experiences are never a focal point of a show/movie the same way heterosexual experiences are. And that needs to change.
Wrong, toxic, or unsuccessfu romantic love is a recurring theme in the show.
Sylki
Sylki was an icky relationship right off the bat. They are the same person. I can't find the post at the moment, but someone has pointed out in their post that them being the same person is referenced in every episode in season 1, which is when the romance took place. This made their romance uncomfortable for many viewers.
(Some consider Sylki a toxic relationship, but for this post, the topic is too large to handle with the nuance I'd like to handle it with).
When he's drunk, Loki compares love to a dagger, stating that it hurts you, but when you try to find strength in it, it's not real.
Which is exactly what happens. Sylvie pushes Loki into a portal and they never get back together.
The Love Triangle
In 02×03, Ravonna Renslayer is infatuated with Victor Timely, but he leaves her behind and betrays her when Miss Minutes told him to. One episode later, we discover that they were indeed an item, and established the TVA together. He Who Remains deleted her memories and they never rekindle their love.
Later in the episode, is the best example of "wrong" romance in the show. Miss Minutes, the AI clock, confesses her love to Viktor Timely. He, obviously, freaks out and shuts her off. Nothing ever comes of this.
Brad and Dox
This one is small, but a big indication to romance being a theme. In 02×01, we're shown this:
The gap in the age of the actors is uncomfortable, and a character in universe has this reaction to it. It is never mentioned again.
So what does all of this leave us with? Not much. None of this properly ties to the finale, or anything really. If I were to write the show I would cut a lot of this out, since it serves no purpose. But it does make you keep romance and its shortcomings in mind. The writers want it to be there, in the back of your head.
Finally! I got to talk about them. The two people in question. First things first, who are they, together? They became really supportive, close friends.
Fans even drew parallels to Chaos & Order, which is a very important theme in Loki. But I'm not here to unpack them. These things don't necessarily make them in love. So what does make them in love? I'll present you my evidence, and you ask yourself,
Would it be valid to suggest romantic implications if a man and a women are:
1) Extremely thouchy with each other.
2) Riding on a tandem bike together.
3) Willing to suffer a fate worst than death for another.
4) Falling on each other after that^
5) Literally the Interrupted Declaration of Love trope. (Ex)
6) Being framed in a circle.
7) Waiting & giving permission to attack.
8) Fixing themselvs before seeing the other.
Of course yes. Maybe you think some of these are a strech, but ultimately, people would point out romantic connotations across the board. And I'm here, pointing them out right now. Some scenes between Loki and Mobius have romantic implications.
Loki is a queer protagonist in the MCU, a universe that lacks representation of queer experiences. His show constantlty reminded us of romance, sometimes for seemigly no reason. In the second season, they wrote him and his best friend with romantic implications. And then, nothing. It should not have been nothing. Lokius should have been canon.
literally no thoughts. just mobius m. mobius and his slutty little waist
oh my goodness this is wonderful. made me shed a tear
Letting Time Pass
I basked in golden sunlight
Somewhere, somehow, somewhen
I remembered that the sun
Will never shine on you again
I stepped into the shadow
Of an old, familiar tree
I remembered I'm as close to you
As I will ever be
I gazed upon a memory
I searched it for a sign
I saw that you weren't in it
And I knew it wasn't mine
The future lies before me
But beyond a pane of glass
Until this pain forsakes me
I'll be here, letting time pass
