one of my favorite underrated moments from the Loki show is from episode 5, when they’re all facing Alioth and Sylvie hands Loki the Tempad she stole from Ravonna, knowing there’s a chance that this is it, that this is a s*icide mission, that her plan might not work after all and perhaps this is also the last time they see each other
but she still wants him to go back to the TVA, because that way his chances at survival were going to be much higher. However, Loki refuses to leave her alone and stays
and that’s something Sylvie absolutely can’t deal with, because she’s aware her plan might not be that great after all, and it might be a s*icide mission, and they might both die. Loki refuses to leave her and it’s just…Sylvie has always been alone, she said she never had anyone
so now for the first time she has someone in her life for who she cares about and while she’s seemingly aware and at peace with risking her own life, she doesn’t want anything to happen to Loki because not only does she for the first time finally have someone in her life, she finally also has someone to lose
I just think it’s such an underrated moment, because they’re legit risking their lives not knowing if the plan will work and Sylvie wants Loki safe, but Loki’s the ultimate ride-or-die and absolutely refuses to leave her alone
and this happens again during, or just before, their fight with Alioth, when Loki takes hold of Sylvie’s shoulder and there’s literally no word exchange, they simply look each other in the eyes, but Sylvie just knows he intends to offer himself as a distraction so she could literally work her magic in peace.  Loki’s risking his life, basically sacrificing himself so she could try to enchant Alioth and Sylvie pleads him not to do that. and yet, Loki once again insists.
 It’s such A Moment because Sylvie just truly cares about him a lot and it shows how important Loki actually is to her
So it bugs me when people who dislike Sylvie say she never cared about Loki and was simply just using him to get through Alioth and to HWR, because no, she legit wanted him AWAY from Alioth, away from the Void, away from any harm. That’s the exact opposite of “not caring”
And idk how many times do Kate, Eric, Sophia etc have to repeat that Sylvie genuinely cares a lot about Loki for people to stop misinterpreting and misunderstanding her character and her actions. I didn’t even need their words and interviews to understand that she cares about him, the show made it abundantly clear
for some people who are constantly going “subtext this, subtext that” they really ignore a lot of text or what’s actually happening in the show.
