Yesss same. I rlly do love Tom Hiddleston because hes not only a marvellously talented actor with how much effort he puts into each character- especially Loki. i hope things go better in ep 5 and 6 !!

loki spoilers/analysis yes yes episode 4 was O.o but hear me out. It makes sense (as much as i hate that)

OK so i hate the ship because its so unsettling for me. BUT as mad as I am, I have to give kudos to the writers because it makes sense. Loki is a narcissist that’s the first layer of things. If you dive in deeper to the episodes up to this point and whatever else happened in episode 4, it frustratingly makes sense.

He was made to face his deepest fear- being alone, in a manner that doesn’t only leave you physically hurt from Sif’s punches, but mentally and emotionally hurt too. Being repeatedly told that he deserved to be alone? From Mobius’ words and Loki’s reaction to Mobius, he did believe he deserved to be alone. But then bam! When Loki has been given the hope of a friend, a way out of his loneliness, Mobius is pruned right before his eyes. And from Loki’s behaviour, you know he’s hurting real bad. His friend dead (while we know Mobius is not, Loki doesn’t so pain for him), the hope he had literally disintegrated before his eyes. Even in the lift scene, you would expect Loki to say something. A quip or a jab at Ramona or even Sylvie. But he stays quiet and his eyes just show pain (kudos to Tom Hiddleston btw it was fantastic acting). Loki’s thinking. He thinks of all that Mobius said about loving Sylvie- calling him narcissistic and well, he identifies as being narcissistic. He thinks of all the times he heard Sif say that he is alone and his talks with Sylvie on Lamentis where he could actually have a conversation with someone. A normal conversation between two people in which they learn more about each other and try to empathise with each other. Where he is accepted by Sylvie for all his annoying jabs. Just as he accepts her. And Loki realizes this. Perhaps he already had these thoughts when he was sent back into the time cell for the second time. But I think after Mobius’ pruning, it solidified what Loki believes is feelings for Sylvie.

Chaos fits Loki because that is what he is. But he is also a person who has been left to struggle with his own loneliness, identity and desire for an escape from all this confusion. Because chaos is confusing. Loki chose to be the bad guy in New York but his reaction to Mobius telling him that he was destined to be a bad guy to bring out the best in others tells us he doesn’t want that. Loki doesn’t want to continue being shunned and left alone. And in the TVA (because Loki hasn’t undergone that character development of Dark World and Ragnorak where we also interestingly see him at his lowest and his highest. Being locked in a cell alone vs. Interacting and living on a planet with others in Sakaar), Loki doesn’t know how to get rid of this confusion and angst in him. I think honestly, as crazy as episode 4 was, the writing of this show is amazing. Because it fits with both the MCU movies before and after even with all the timeline nonsense. They essentially fleshed out Loki’s character from the less than 30minutes of screentime he has had in all the movies. And this uncertainty about identity, even Loki knows it. The fact that he admits the ‘feelings’ he has for Sylvie are new to him. He could be mistaking the basic feeling of friendship and true companionship for love. Because hope only leads to pain, i am NOT going to hope that Marvel and the writing team allows Loki to undergo more self-discovery of what it means to be lonely and how to healthily deal with this fear (because u cannot convince me that his coping mechanisms up to now have been healthy at all. Aggression towards others eg. cutting off Sif’s hair? invading NYC? yeah and the fact that he doesn’t fear death is an even greater red flag. You may have died before but Loki is stuck in a place where he has none of his magic). I am NOT going to hope that they allow Loki to understand his feelings better even though Tom Hiddleston did say that Loki still has a lot of self-understanding to do before he falls in love. I am NOT going to believe that Loki will not kiss Sylvie but grow as a person who learns what it means to have friends who have got your back. I am also NOT going to believe that the writing and acting team are made up with a group of people who are 100% ok with selfcest (yes she is a different person but it is still very unsettling im sorry). Let’s not (legit not this time), jump into the fray and flame the writing team or Marvel. We really don’t know where they are going with this. It all depends on ep 5 and 6. After ep 6 i think its safe to say we can decide whether or not to start a fire because my hopes will be dashed and my disappointment immeasurable.

Also extra point- it is after Ragnorak where we see a big switch in Loki’s character. From there on he starts playing the part of the good guy. In the Dark World he was neither here nor there- hard to tell. But in Ragnorak, he plays nice. He plays the saviour to his people whom he loves (evidence: his reaction to the screening of his future in ep 1). What caused this turn of events? Perhaps its was the last words of Odin being that he did indeed love him as a son. Perhaps it was also the freedom he had to interact and tell stories with other individuals in Saakar.

And Loki when disguised as Odin, spent a lot of effort making sure the people of Asgard knew about him (loki not odin). I mean, he commissioned a play about himself for the masses to watch. This not only emphasizes his narcissism but also his innate desire to be accepted by the masses for who he is. Not Thor’s younger brother. Or the monster Jotun people tell their children about. Or the evil one who tried to rule Midgard.

Why does Loki so badly want to be accepted by the people? Because them not accepting him means being ostracized. Imprisoned. Forever with the whispers and staying away from him. No one to talk to - and he loves talking, no one to carry out hedonistic parties with, no one to take away his pain.

I think, the events of Ragnorak helped Loki understand himself better and how to deal with that fear of being alone. Plus, the reconciliation with his brother definitely helped. Knowing that Thor never truly shunned him. And that Thor was actually always there waiting for him- i think that really influenced his character from then onwards. Especially seeing how in his last moments before Thanos he willingly associated his position as Odinson and sacrificed himself for Thor to live.

Balance Unlimited: Haru Kato HCs

Started watching Balance Unlimited and immediately got hooked. So here’s some headcanons for our favourite inspector!

his neighbour knows him as the friendly neighbourhood Spiderman

“kato-san helped get our frisbee that was stuck on the tree”

“he saved my wife from getting harassed!”

“once, someone tried to steal my bike wheels but kato-san caught him and helped me put my wheels back. what a nice boy”

Haru doesn’t think much about it

I’m just doing what is right. Nothing spectacular about it.

His hobby is exercise and movies

After a day at work, he works out at home and goes for runs

(why spend money on a gym when you can just work out at home?)

Okay, hes not THAT cheap.

He visits a judo center twice a week if he has time to spare. Got to make sure his judo doesn’t get rusty

Secretly, Haru is quite proud of himself for being able to keep up with the younger judo students despite being in his 30s

When he was still in his twenties, before the eyebags grew permanent, Haru would definitely admit that he was good looking

He dated a few girls here and there throughout University

But when he started working, his tendency to tunnel-vision led to many break ups.

After awhile, Haru sort of gave up

He couldnt find it in himself to priorities work less

The old woman who lives below him tried to set him up with her daughter but after missing a few dates due to work- the guilt drove him to break up with her

She didn’t deserve someone who almost lived at the office

Living alone didn’t get better as he aged

But until he could find someone who would be okay with his slightly insane work ethics and ideals- he’s staying a single man

feel free to like and repost! hope you enjoyed this, i tried my best to not be too OOC
