From Assembled: “The Making of Loki” describing the Loki and Sylvie’s storyline:
“One of the writers in our writer’s room, Elissa Karasik, she came in with a real strong POV that it should run at that love-story thing. And it was something the whole writer’s room got behind from day one.” Michael Waldron
“You know, it’s so chaotic to fall in love with a version of yourself, but at the same time, it’s such a bad idea and so mischievous, it’s like, of course Loki would fall in love with himself.” Kate Herron
“So the heart of it, it is a love story and you never fall in love at the right time. And I think the nice thing about it is Crater Lake is where these two characters really come together, and they realize there’s something deeper going on here.” Kate Herron
“You know, in life, we all go through struggles, but we can’t do it alone. And if we have people we can trust, it lightens the load and it gladdens the heart. And I think the relationship between Loki and Sylvie is about that connection. That they learn, each of them, to care about the other.” Tom Hiddleston
“People in love often speak of time stopping when they first catch that jolting glance of their paramours as if our brain, perhaps even the universe, is telling us, ‘Your life is forever changed.’ ‘Sear this moment into your memory.’ So much is forgotten and discarded every day. A password, an acquaintance’s name. Our inability to control what stays and what goes is a constant reminder of the fallibility of the human mind. Objects in the rear view are often much smaller than they appear, and they get smaller and smaller each day. But as we march forever onward, we will inevitability arrive at one of those defining moments where clarity arrive, followed quickly by more uncertainty. What we do in this moment can often define our lives in ways we never dreamed of.” Tom Hiddleston
Main takeaways:
- Season 1 was written as a love story from Day freakin’ ONE.
- THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Elissa Karasik, the true creator of this ship.
- Loki and Sylvie’s nexus event was them realizing that they have FALLEN IN LOVE, as beautifully narrated by Tom Hiddleston.

Imagine Loki somehow finding a way to bring Sylvie back to Asgard, to show her everything she missed, things she barely remembered, or never even got to experience.
Like extravagant feasts and opulent clothing, the taste of Asgardian wine, or even things more practical, like healing a wound through their Soul Forges instead of patching it up herself, to others more somber—seeing her old bedchamber that’s still vaguely familiar, or a Norse funeral with flaming arrows and floating lights—or sights more beautiful than she can imagine, like the Bifrost shimmering in the early morning light, and the stars of the galaxy shining overhead when night falls.
The bustle of commerce, of diplomatic congregations, warriors in the training grounds and healers tending to the gardens. Warm evenings around the fire, drinking mead and hearing stories of victory and conquest from the Warriors Three. Odin, Frigga, and Thor embracing her as one of their own, commending her perseverance through such lifelong hardship, and telling her she need not suffer ever again.
And through it all, Loki would watch Sylvie with the most loving gaze, seeing how she blossoms in the kingdom she was meant for, in the home that was taken from her. He’d give her every experience possible so that her memories would be painted over with feelings of pure joy and belonging.
