#loki thoughts

Loki: You dug the hole, you lie in it.

Mobius: Dig the hole- lie in it- that doesn’t make sense.

Loki: Yes it does.

Mobius: You’re mixing metaphors again.

Loki: I’m not the one who has to lie in a hole.

Mobius: That doesn’t make any sense!

Spending your life trying to prove yourself to others, trying to get the same respect and yet, no matter what you do, no matter how much you try, it never works. You try doing the same things others do but somehow, you still get treated differently.

You know you have just as much value as others, yet you're not seen and treated as if you do. You bend and stretch and force yourself but nothing works, nothing is enough.

Is it a wonder that we go feral? Is it really surprising that we give up and say "to Hell with it; I'm going my own way!" If you deny us recognition, why would we owe you anything?

I don't want Loki to redeem himself; I don't want him to apologize for his actions or become a bland, boring "hero". I want him to find his own way, regardless of what the supposed "good" people think of him. I want him to realize that he never again has to live up to others' expectations.

I want him to be free.

I can't stop thinking about how Mobius risked everything, literally his own skin, to save Loki! *cries*

Also 'spaghettification', lol, I can't! xD

Thought I’d compile these just incase ya’ll are curious and want to be nosey about where I stand on certain things, also just some meta stuff.

THE HUMANITY OF LOKI - AN ANALYSIS

Random posts:

Loki wasn’t mind controlled, he was influenced

The point of season one is that no-one is ‘good or bad’

My ‘issues’ with the series (not a hate post)

Loki in The Dark World is possibly the ‘most accurate’ characterisation (in my unimportant opinion)

I lied, put your clothes back on, I’m going to explain why Loki’s true heritage is even more heartbreaking than you think

“You are unworthy of the loved ones you betrayed.”

Loki has restraint (random headcannon)

My opinion on Sylvie’s thought process (ask)

My thoughts on how the show handled its female characters (ask)

“The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity…”

The Autistic Allegory of Loki

I am rewatching marvel movies in release order and somehow I did not realize…

Loki straight up orchestrated the potential murder of his adoptive father in order to save him and murder his birth father in order to prove his worthiness to his adoptive father.

And we just GLOSSED OVER THAT FACT and continued fighting as Loki then tried to commit

GENOCIDE

I’m sorry apparently my 13 year old brain missed that back in 2011 because oh look haha Loki lost because Thor put his billion ton hammer on his chest and he couldn’t get up and then he let go and never got his father’s approval so oh no very sad.

Umm he committed and attempted some ATROCITIES.

And he’s supposed to be an anti-hero 😅

Chaotic evil more like.

Ok so someone on Twitter theorized that Loki is going to end up going to the Sacred Timeline and recruiting everyone (Mobius, B-15, Casey) into the TVA.

Originally I thought that after Mobius had his memory wiped, he still subconsciously remembered seeing Loki (when Mobius was running after him in the opening of Season 2), and that's why he became fascinated with studying Loki variants. But what if the original fascination was because Loki actually recruited Mobius?! And subconsciously he just knew this person was important to him!!

This opens up so many fanfiction opportunities.

Loki entering Mobius’s dreams and speaking to him (kissing him?).

Loki sending out mystic messengers to protect or communicate with his friends. Imagine foxes, wolves, crows, etc. coming to aid the TVA in battle.

Mobius or the others finding their way to Loki’s throne at the end of time. Sylvie was able to send Renslayer there pretty easily.

Loki talking to or even entering the bodies of other Lokis on the timeline. We saw him time slipping into himself from the past. Who’s to say he couldn’t do something similar now?

The list goes on. This is so far removed from being a death. The god of mischief and stories flows through all of time.
