Just an Obsession or Two

Loki + favorite smiles oops it’s all of them

Please, please, no more. Please, I beg you. I’m a horrible person. I get it. I really am. I cut off your hair because I thought it’d be funny. And it’s not.

Loki episode 3, while much shorter and lighter on plot progression than usual, featured some notable character moments for the God of Mischief. For the first time in his MCU journey, Loki's love life got some attention during a few conversations between him and Sylvie. Aside from confirming that Loki is bisexual, the episode attempted to dig into his feelings regarding love. However, after getting drunk, the best Loki can come up with is a clumsy metaphor about how love is an imaginary dagger that can harm you, but ultimately isn't real.

Hiddleston explained how this metaphor came to be in Loki's head while talking to Marvel.com. The actor acknowledged that it isn't the best way to describe love, but that it fits with the character's thought process. "It's one of those things that Loki comes up with spontaneously," Hiddleston said. "They were having a talk about love and trusting other people, and not being able to either love or trust for whatever reason, and Loki thinks he's come up with something profound." However, as odd of a description it was, it does match Loki's own past. Hiddleston added that this "is Loki's experience of love, I suppose. He certainly feels like it's not been something he's been close to. It has been some sort of illusion that he has trusted and been let down by."
