what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

Theory:

I'm currently convinced Sylvie has, at some point after the events of the finale, settled down in Oklahoma.

More specific, in Broxton.

These are pictures of the cars parked at the McDonald's establishment Sylvie's working at.

their license plates are:

Sylvie's car Ford Ranger, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 1969

the red car, Dodge Monaco Wagon, Caddo County in Oklahoma, 1966

the grey Chevrolet, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 1975

the blue car, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 1965 or 1963

the black Ford Ranger, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 1967

One thing these cars all have in common is that they have the same County code. In this case, CA represent Caddo county, Oklahoma.

Broxton is an unincorporated community in Caddo County, Oklahoma.

In the comics, Sylvie Lushton, the Sylvie our Sylvie was based on, originated from Broxton, Oklahoma.

So as a reference to her comics self, I think our Sylvie decided to settle down in Broxton, Oklahoma.

She has a car, Ford Ranger F100 1969's model, obviously has a job at McDonald's and likely even a house.

In fact, they did film for a day or two in a residential area and a house. The people living in that area described the scene as a scene set in "rural America" which could further indicate that the house belongs to Sylvie.

I will actually never be normal about the fact that when Ed and Stede do the weird thing and swap clothes in Ep. 4, they also swap rings. THEY. SWAP. RINGS. They knew each other for 5 minutes and were already in love. I love these two co-captains with my whole heart and I will not rest until I see them together and happy and thriving.

It may surprise you to learn that I’ve grown some more nuanced opinions since I wrote this commentary. So much about me has evolved since I shared the above ramblings—and that’s a good thing!

I still stand by my disdain for what Marvel overall did to Loki in IW-Endgame, but I’ve grown to accept Ragnarok as part of the story despite my criticisms of it (the fans who enjoy Ragnarok make up a sizable portion of the fandom and I think it unfair to be extremely gatekeepy and better for my mental health to see the value in it and try and see the positives that it brought the community).

Part of the reason IW/Endgame were so difficult for me is because of where I was at in my own personal journey at the time of writing that. Everyone relates to stories in a very unique, personal way. We see ourselves in them, and if we cannot, we abandon them or write our own stories. Much like Loki does any time the people telling the story seem to want to put him in a box.

At the time of writing the above ramblings I had not realized many things about myself—but I was journeying towards many realizations. I had already begun my break away from so much toxicity that had held me back all of my life. But I had not yet deconstructed my own gender, and I had not yet found the love of my life. I love my broodier sadder past-self. But I’m in a new place now. I’ve grown, I’ve changed—and so has Tom’s-Loki, I believe.

And so… I found positive meaning in the Loki Series. I love it, for so many personal and allegorical reasons. I see such queer positivity in it, and I see the love story at center as a mirror to the love story in my own personal life. Perhaps it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and perhaps it doesn’t fit everyone’s boxes. That’s ok. I see myself in it, so I embrace it.

Going forward, I have come to accept that people have nuanced opinions especially when it comes to art, and to allegory. It’s all fiction at the end of the day. And Loki’s story(stories) will always live on no matter what. Hope you find solace in whatever form Loki takes for you that is meaningful. 💚🖤👐 And if the MCU stories don’t do it for you anymore then there’s always comics, fanfiction, and other forms of media that Loki exists in. Ragnarok on Netflix is awesome. There’s even God of War, the videogame.

No corporations can contain our stories—especially the stories of the God of stories.
