idk if this is too niche but someone needs to write a fanfic about lokius with the plot of that movie with sandra bullock and keanu reaves where they communicate via letters and shit, through a mailbox except there's some funky, unexplained magic going on and sandra's actually from the past also i think it was called the lakehouse (just confirmed with my mom that it was, in fact, the lakehouse) and my basis for this claim is purely episode 1 of season 2 lololol

LOKI S2E1 - Ouroboros
I’ve just watched the episode, and here are a few basic thoughts and pointers.
Started off to a running start, but the slower pace despite the urgency was pretty nice, actually.
There were two trope/gags, literally back to back. Hilarious! So Loki lands in the car, it crashes into the main room, he gets out, car drops down, he’s like “oh she’ll be okay” and then you hear the vehicle thud, and then he’s like “I’ll be okay!” and immediately almost gets crushed by the TV monitor 😂 I was thinking, “you just HAD to say that!” Lovely comedic moment 🤣
The best thing I loved about this episode was how present!Loki was having the same conversation with past!OB while present!Mobius was having the exact same conversation with present!OB. It’s mind boggling, but the constant switching between past and present to show us that past!OB and present!OB were/are saying the exact same thing, conversing with Loki and Mobius as if though they were in the same place at the same time even though they were not. The sheer amount of mental gymnastics is hilarious, but I loved it.
B-15 looks troubled, and rightly so. Even the top judge is convinced.
The way Loki literally swings by and tackles Mobius back into the room, that’s a lot of force and a whole lot of speed.
And a mid-credits in E1! That’s new. But also great, we see Sylvie again! She walks into a McDonalds 😌

Loki S2E1 screaming about mobius
Gosh, there's so many things to scream about but I watched episode 1 again today...and remember how in season 1 kinda ended with Lokius divorce? Well, The start of this season feels like Mobius still isn't over Loki but somehow when he decided to maybe move-on Loki came straight back to him crying about his fight with Sylvie (bad break up?). And Mobius CANNOT GET OVER his stupid crush, especially when he looks so distressed and in pain, he just wanted to heal Loki from all that!!! And was probably questioning his life choices constantly in choosing to risk his skin & new life for his favourite person in the multi-verse.
Mobius is in this so bad. Distracting Loki's farewell speech cus he's all about giving out positive energy when Loki needs it and because "he needed more time to think". How can he be such a comfort I am crying.

an offering to the board:
Loki, the eponymous God of Mischief trickster magician archetype in every one of his multiverse variants, also ends up being the only one to breach AND catastrophically affect the literal fabric of time & reality itself, because?-- he is fundamentally one of the most powerful beings in the entire canon multiverse.
discuss.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT MOBIUS WOULD CHOOSE
Here's the thing:
If given the choice, Mobius would 100% choose to stay with Loki at the End of Time instead of living his life out on the timelines.
It would be completely in-character for him to admit this and enthusiastically choose it because Loki has been Mobius's choice in almost every episode of the series with the exceptions of S1E3, S1E6, S2E4, and S2E5.
In S1, I think it's important to note that while working with Loki in S1E1 and S1E2 serves the TVA's purposes, both episodes hinge on Mobius wanting to believe in Loki in the first place. There is a stronger emotional undercurrent guiding all of Mobius's actions that is consistent through the S2 finale.
In S2, tellingly, the relationship firmly reciprocates with S2E1 through S2E6 showing Loki choosing Mobius, with particular attention in S2E4 and S2E5 (the very same episodes in which Mobius isnt given a plot opportunity to choose Loki). It's subtle, but the act of choosing Mobius actually begins as early as S1E4 (choosing to trust Mobius despite the memory loop torture and wanting his friendship). Loki's conviction in Mobius gradually increases alongside intensity through, once again, the S2 finale.
S1E1: Mobius chooses to save Loki from Renslayer and deletion. He chooses to believe Loki isn't a villain. The whole premise of the series relies on Mobius's belief and Mobius's choice to act on it.
S1E2: Mobius chooses to: 1.) believe in Loki's apocalypse theory, 2.) believe in Loki's deduction that Sylvie is hiding in Alabama, 3.) bring Loki out into field (where Loki's unpredictability and uncontrollability are highest; logically, Mobius should have left him at the TVA), 4.) give Loki his daggers.
S1E4: Mobius chooses to 1.) believe in Loki's claims that the TVA is lying, 2.) put his life on the line to free Loki and help Sylvie.
S1E5: Mobius chooses to bring Sylvie to Loki in the Void.
S2E1: Mobius chooses to 1.) prioritize Loki's health and well-being, 2.) put his life on the line to stop Loki's timeslipping.
S2E2: Mobius chooses to be: 1.) vulnerable with Loki, 2.) encourage Loki's cunning and more terrifying qualities.
S2E3: Mobius chooses to encourage Loki's use of magic.
S2E4: Loki chooses Mobius. Tom choosing to place himself between Sylvie and the pies (protecting Mobius when he is vulnerable) was a lovely choice.
S2E5: Loki chooses Mobius. I'm so annoyed I can't find the gif of Loki talking about how Mobius should have a choice.
S2E6: Mobius chooses to leave the TVA because Loki is no longer there and looks at his original timeline, as Loki gently encouraged him to.
Mobius would choose Loki at the End of Time in a heartbeat. What other option would he choose?
