AUTISTIC PETER PARKER

They don't have perfect skin and aren't all thin and perfectly proportionate because that's how most teenagers/young adults look

Linda is literally the best mother ever and she doesn’t get enough credit. Continually she goes out of her way to support not only Simon and Sara in everything but she takes care of Ayub and Roshe too without a second thought, and accepting Wille into their house as well. Whenever Simon or Sara are in a weird- (almost always Sara who am I kidding) or angry (also always Sara) mood, she responds with patience and kindness. When Simon was depressed after the release of the video, she was never condescending or berated him, dimly provides him with encouragement and more support. Linda despite everything that she’s been through understands and empathises with their situations and rlly rlly serves as the stabilising factor for Simon and Sara hence is one of the most essential characters in the entire show. And you see this again and again with her asking Simon what he wants “juice, cookies”, consistently asking Sara WHATS wrong mi amor instead of (fairly) being annoyed at Sara’s attitude- like

This ask has been sitting in my inbox forever - and I’m really sorry about that - but I finally found it!!! I’m also gonna add some other links from other posts too.

Like I'm seeing a see where they look mournfully at the other because their sad to say goodbye, but they also know it's not a trhe goodbye because they are one—they exist inside each other. And I think that by getting to know one another... they fall in love and learn to love themselves and learn to embrace the aspects of themselves that they've longed denied and hidden away—that they see reflected in one another.

okay here we go

first, not only the holding hands, but the way Loki looks at her

the way he is all awkward and fragile when he is at her side, and I’ve never seen his character act like this with anyone else before

his reaction when Mobius lied to him saying Sylvie was dead

I agree with Mobius, it’s really funny because, as the God of Mischief, Loki seems to be a terrible liar here, and who else could say he is lying than a Loki specialist who is also an analyst?

Mobius had done this before right? In my opinion, I really don’t believe he was jealous during the interrogatory, Mobius was just doing his job trying to get some informations, but yes, he seemed to be extremely upset with the fact that Loki betraied him

“a bad friend” …

now, I know most part of the fandom is a lokius shipper, and it’s okay, they are really cute together, I was actually shipping it too before I watched episode 4, Mobius was the first person who could see something good on Loki, and he really wants to help him to be a better person

yes, I do agree that Loki was completely devastated when Mobius died, and it was a really heart breaking scene to watch

I do agree that they like each other, and they would make a good couple, I still shipp it a little bit, but I believe (and I know everybody’s gonna be angry with me) that in the TV show, they are just friends

anyone would be devastated to lose a good friend, or to be betrayed by one

even though it would be awesome to have lokius as a canon shipp, I don’t think it’s gonna happen because they are just friends (sad)

but, it does make sense since Loki wants to help Mobius to find his real life, his real family

If Loki has romantic feelings for Mobius, why he would want to reunite him with his own family and not just runaway with him? I’m sorry but, at this point, in my opinion, if we are talking about canon, lokius is a shipp that doesn’t make sense anymore (even though I still like it and I support everybody who shipps it)

now, the part that will make everybody hates me

as a good friend, Mobius wants Loki to be happy, so, he wants Loki and Sylvie to be together

I know Mobius wants to destroy TVA after finding out the true, but still, he was being such a good friend here trying to help Loki to save Sylvie, and maybe (please don’t hate me) (I know you all gonna hate me anyway) he is a sylkie shipper (at least it’s what it seems to me in the episode 4 I’m sorry)

now, talking about where the show is going, the whole point of the series is the destruction of the TVA, and the only thing that can do it is a nexus event strong enough to break the timeline

okay, now let’s talk about sci-fi a little bit

as we all know, Kate Herron, the director of Loki series is a big fan of sci-fi, and I can see she is getting inspirations of some famous sci-fi works like Doctor Who, so, the collapse of spacetime it’s a big cliche of sci-fi works, and there’s many movies, books and tv shows that explore it, not only Doctor Who, but also Dark, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Back To The Future, Donnie Darko and now, Loki series as well

so, according to most of sci-fi works, even the smallest interact between different events of spacetime, or between different dimensions could ruin the order of the universe, creating another reality completely different like a parallel universe, or something even worse like bring chaos and destroy everything, just like in the Loki series

but as we can see, Loki and Sylvie, two of the same being from different realities were together and interacting all the time in the episode 3 and nothing happened, no nexus event

apparently they can fight each other, they can help each other, they can drink together and talk about their families and relationships, they can confort each other, they even can sing to each other that everything will be just fine, no chaos

so what caused the nexus event?

if we take the Interstellar movie as a good example of a sci-fi work (actually, this movie is a true masterpiece, and one of the best movies of all time about spacetime), we will be able to see another sci-fi cliche here, which is in my opinion, something that the creators of the show are exploring as well

basically, it’s saying that love is the most powerful force of the universe

obviously, love can be manifest in many different ways, like between siblings, or self-love, but I don’t think this is what Loki and Sylvie connection is about

in the episode 3, they spent too much time talking about romantic relationships, and that “love is an imaginary dagger” mataphor really got us, I don’t think the creators of the show would made all those lines between Loki and Sylvie just for nothing, I think it’s something about the development of their characters, and the development of their relatioship as well

also, it’s pretty obvious that Loki and Sylvie never found real love, they never had it, and most important, they truly want it

and then, the nexus event happened, not with just a conversation, empathy or self-love, but because of a real romantic love between two people who just fell in love, yes, two variants of the same being falling in love with each other, and I agree, it’s weird, confusing, twisted, chaotic, a chaotic love so powerful and so strong that it can break the timeline and destroy TVA

this is why I’m shipping sylkie now, because I love sci-fi and I love what they are doing with the show and the characters

and after all this, if you still don’t agree with me, well, that’s fine

let’s just finish here with the lyrics of the song If You Love me by Brenda Lee, the song that was playing in the end credits of The Nexus Event

“If the sun should tumble from the sky, If the sea should suddenly run dry, If you love me, really love me, Let it happen, I won’t care, If it seems that everything is lost, I will smile and never count the cost, If you love me, really love me, Let it happen, darling I won’t care, Shall I catch a shooting star? Shall I bring it where you are? If you want me to, I will, You can set me any task, I’ll do anything you ask If you’ll only say you love me still, When at last our life on earth is through I will share eternity with you, If you love me, really love me, Let it happen, I won’t care, If you love me, really love me, Let it happen, darling, I won’t care”

Everyone in that Post Credit Scene:

Sylvie:

Mobius:

Suddenly, this man standing on the outskirts of our conversational circle piped up with “actually, I think men are more discriminated against than women these days.”

 All conversation died.

I turned to look at him and he had this smug, insufferable grin on his face, relishing this moment, expecting us to waste our time and energy refuting this ridiculous thing he had just said.

The Devil’s Advocate was among us.

And, in my mind, I saw the next 15+ minutes playing out. The parade of facts and statistics in a vain attempt to defend ourselves, our gender, and to prove that misogyny is real. The glib, snide denials from some shithead who is getting off on our pain and frustration. The Gish Gallop of bullshit that would take a whole evening to properly dismantle. It was depressing and overwhelming. I hated it. I had to kill it before it began.

So I looked him dead in the eye and I said “OK,“ shrugged, and just walked away. 

Nothing I have ever said to another human being has ever been so crushing. As I walked away, I watched the smug grin vanish and confusion and anxiety set in. The rest of the group turned their backs to him and carried on as if he had never spoken - as if he was invisible. He was still staring at me when I walked over to another friend and told her what he had said. I pointed him out for her and made direct eye contact with him while we both laughed.
