#but sylki is fine

[catwouthats]

Loki: It’s hard being polyamorous. My girlfriend left to another timeline and my boyfriend doesn’t even live in a timeline :(

Sylvie: We broke up the moment I kicked you through the time door…

Mobius: You have a boyfriend??

#Mobius would have no idea they were dating #he would literally kiss him and he’d be like #ahhhh but he doesn’t like me like I like him #yes I’m fine with both ships #technically I ship lokius a little more #but sylki is fine #sylki #lokius #loki season two #loki series #incorrect quotes

[never-ever-eat-pears]

I guess the only real consolation is that ultimately, Loki got the one thing he wanted: for Sylvie to be okay.

I will never be over how tender this touch is, as he reaches his hands out to hold her shoulders, even as she holds her knife to his throat, how sad and how scared she looks, the way he holds her gaze, begging her to trust him

what if i just pretend like he gets something else to hold the branches together

#crunchyposts #mcu #loki spoilers #was it a good ending? was it a bad ending? did i like it? did i dislike it? i genuinely unironically cannot answer any of these questions #i just cannot handle tragedies and unhappy endings #so to me he steps out he goes to bind it together and sylvie stops him #so in my head she steps out after him and she finds a diff solution #<- i say sylvie does it to justify why he was so emotional over it #and also im in the sylki trenches still i do not care block me if you dont like it #but then hes not forever trapped there and im fine and hes fine and theyre fine and im fine and im not anxious at all like i get w tragedie #my other option is sylvie goes with him so they both live in their worst nightmares but together #but like. i dont want pain rn lol so im sticking with the happy one

[bisexual-panic]

yk what really pisses me off

i saw a really cute sylki edit that was like Loki saved the multiverse for his girl (Sylvie) and the top comment is *for mobius… and there were so many others commenting similar stuff and then people commenting on them explaining how their wrong (Loki sacrificing himself was to save Sylvie because the other option was he kill her)

why should shippers have to defend their ship in the comments section OF AN EDIT ABOUT THEIR SHIP. the poster literally commented on the *for mobius comment no… and that’s all it should take to tell antis and toxic lokius shippers to stop commenting on edits that aren’t about their ship and to (in no uncertain terms) to fuck off

#can they just go back to there little dark hole and stay there #i mean antis #lokius shippers are fine to spread and create whatever they want #sylki #loki series #loki laufeyson #sylvie laufeydottir #loki season 2 #pro sylki #anti lokius shippers #anti lokius

[sylvies-kablooie]

feel like an academic the way i was about to make a rebuttal paper to a thesis claiming that sylvie had no feelings for loki in s1 but then i remembered i have to do things like attend classes and pay bills so that's gonna be shelved for a while

#all readings of fandom are welcomed here but i do have my own interpretations i believe and that's fine #i just will cite my sources #gestures to the blanket scene. the pruning scene. the one good memory scene. #have y'all ever sat down and read academic discourse? those “in reply to” papers? #i just got exposed to my first one recently and oh boy. the whole body cringe it induced was inescapable. #like imagine a bunch of experts in the field getting so mad about how WRONG you are they have to submit their findings to a journal #and you the poor jstor user just trying to write a paper are subjected to incredibly niche discourse #i understand the importance of calling out ideas you believe do not have weight to them but like consider this: #it probably hurt that guy's feelings :( #i actually was team “guy this paper was saying is wrong” his theory had good evidence #and the writing was so condescending i didn't want to root for them anyway #but regardless. i had a point somewhere in there that has been muddled. #sylki #pro sylki #loki series

[nostalgia-tblr]

am also having a Mild Crisis over whether i should speed up the enemies-to-lovers aspect of this fic because fandom (in general) is used to "they bicker vaguely for three chapters and are clearly In Love by part 4 and then the next 46 chapters are a series of miscommunications" and that's not what my plan is so umm. i think i might just piss the readers off if it doesn't get nicer soon? but then the one weird person other than me who wants to read this version of events will be DEPRIVED if i do that won't they? so. oh no, is this how people feel when writing millon-word rival florist AUs? do they feel THE PRESSURE? do they fret and fuss and panic?

#i hope there's not a sylki rival florist AU i just picked an example i'm not aiming at a specific fic or author or anything #rival knitters? rival librarians? #something cosy is my point. pick one that doesn't exist and use that as my example here okay? #i don't know what the current sylki classics are cos i erm stopped looking in the tag much cos 88% just wasn't stuff i was interested in #i assume it's GOOD stuff in there but it's just not summaries or tag combos i am likely to click on for any pairing really #WHICH IS FINE OBVIOUSLY #the advantage of oneshots is nobody expects anything from it. it's already done. they can't change anything in it. it is OVER. #(some people will still optimistically subscribe to it but you do you etc) #all joys and all disappointments have already happened you don't live in a state of cliffhanger for any length of time #fic related

seeing ppl's reasonings for why sylki is bad or why the loki series itself is bad is so cringe half the time bc its ppl being mad at the show for the stupidest reasons like, you KNOW the story that's happening here. getting mad bc loki didn't shag mobius after they landed on each other and instead was worried about sylvie is so horrifically embarrassing that I can't even cope with it

#mcu txt #loki laufeyson #obviously if you are into lokius and not sylki then it makes sense youre gonna not care about the sylki moments #but with some ppl its like #okay theres being disappointed/just mentioning things offhandedly and then theres being Actually #being annoyed rhat the show is continuing the tell the same story it was telling in s1 #like #'why did he mention sylvie in that moment' #is a STUPID thing to genuinely ask/be annoyed about bc like... #sylki is the story being told here #lokius are not a real thing within the show #need ppl to grt a grip #doctor who fans do it too #wherw they get mad at rhe show for doing or not doing something when its like #so what im hearing is that youre just wanting a completely diffeeent stroy to be told #and are mad that the story being told is being told #whixh is fine #but the way ppl talk its like #i know you want a dofferent story but that just... isnt whats happening #so getting mad that a thing happened when it makes sense within the story that IS being told #just bc you wanted the entire stort to be different #is just weird like #just say you woulda lrefered rhe whole story to be different #instead of picking out moments and being like 'why did this happen' bc the rwason why it happened is bc THAT IS THE STORY

One thing I don't get about Sigyn fans: they like to reimagine Marvel Sigyn as having any sort of appearance (her faceclaims had all hair colors and ethnicies imaginable), any sort of backstory (sometimes she's a noble, a commoner, a warrior, a witch, a mortal elevated to goddess, etc) and even though she tends to lean to kind and soft, some Sigyns have some edge to her personality. Which makes you wonder: if Sigyn is such a flexible character that she can be anything, then what difference does it make if a female character who's paired with Loki in canon is name Sigyn or, idk, Mary or Joan, or whatever? Why are they so fixated that any female character that Loki smooches has to be named SIGYN if Sigyn is just a name you slap into a character that can have any personality and backstory? A proof of what I'm saying is that Sigyn fans have a penchant for theorizing that any new female character that gets close to Loki is secretly Sigyn until proven otherwise, I've seen them do it with Verity, Leah, and Zelma when these characters first debuted, and like... did it make any difference when it turned out not to be? Would Loki's relationships with these women be more meaningful if each was named Sigyn instead? If the writers of the Loki show had decided to name Sylvie as Sigyn instead while keeping her personality intact would Sigyn stans be complaining about her?

Yep ^ The name or who Loki ends up with really shouldn't matter. But they keep being like "SYLVIE'S ACTUALLY LOKI, GROSS!" while also being like "THAT'S NOT LOKI BUT LARRY THE CLOWN" towards Loki. Like do they know what they sound like?

I am not sure if renaming Sylvie to Sigyn would have helped quell the hate. They might have gotten pissed off that she didn't fit tradwife ideals and is "too mean". For some maybe.

#'Sylvie is Loki' sounds a lot like deadnaming #and the 'larry the clown' complaints are sometimes borderline ableist because they are about how they hate TVA!Loki's mannerisms #it's fine to say you hate how loki was written or that you hate the series. THAT'S FINE. #but the way some talk about how they hate certain mannerisms is a major red flag #mcu!loki #mcu!sylvie #anti logyn #sylki

Loki both holding Sylvie’s hand and a dagger to her throat. The intimacy and the violence, hand in hand. Her saying “you’ll have to kill me” to him, again, again, the thousandth time again. Flicking her gaze down at his dagger, back up to him. Looking into his eyes, waiting, fierce and defiant. Love. Love is a dagger. Dropping both her hand and the dagger, dropping the dagger away from her throat. Letting her go. Him letting her go, even as he holds her closer. “You’ll have to kill me,” she says, and “I can’t, I can’t,” is the silent reply. Love is a dagger. You can see yourself in it. It’s beautiful. Until it makes you bleed. And even then. Even then

Seeing all this discourse surrounding the morality or lack thereof in regards to ST ships is utterly coconuts to me as I've made the objectively correct choice not to drag morality into shipping LIKE A COWARD. Maybe consider getting some real-life morals, babes, perhaps then you won't feel the need to larp online as a catholic priest.

controversial opinion but I’d be fine if lokius didn’t become explicitly canon in the finale so long as sylki doesn’t either. like at this point lokius is so deeply and explicitly canon in MY head that as long as the writers don’t write anything that contradicts my own imagination I won’t be upset. and lokius is already so canon in implicit subtextual ways??? they’re so soft with each other, loki admits that mobius made him see himself in a way he never thought he could, HE FIXED HIS HAIR TO LOOK GOOD UPON SEEING HIM AGAIN, they protect each other and defend each other, honestly I rock w that so much.

and honestly the beloved parts of the MCU are mostly in our (the fans’) heads anyway. it’s still beloved in the way that the marauders are still beloved, like small snippets of canon used as a springboard for emotional and beautiful expansions and interpretations by the fans which are so well done that they become accredited as semi canon or more accepted in fan circles than original material. not that marvel isn’t putting out good stuff, but so much of it is still fandom imagination and creativity.

anyways that was such a long and winded way of me saying FUCK YEAH LOKIUS CLAN WE ATE GOOD TONIGHT and they’ll never be apart in my head 😌

Thoughts on Lokius (from a Former Sylkie Shipper)

When season one was airing, I was a casual Sylkie shipper. Mostly, I just wanted to see Loki in love. I thought it would be such interesting character development, a side of him we had never seen before. I also remember telling my friends “oh my god, it makes so much sense for Loki to be in love with a variant of himself, because he thinks he’s the greatest thing alive.” I remember sitting in front of the TV and cheering at their kiss. (yea yea “selfcest” i don’t care blah blah blah. It’s a fantasy show with a crocodile Loki and a horny holographic clock. DON’T CARE)

Anyways, after a couple of years, I’m starting to see things differently.

Loki acts like he thinks he’s the greatest thing alive. Obviously it’s a defense mechanism. We’ve all known this since the first Thor movie. It’s one of the reasons we love him so much- he has such depth.

Anyways, he has so many deep-rooted self image issues, and while I’m fine with Sylkie, I just don’t think Sylvie is the greatest thing for him. (Why am I acting like Loki’s therapist rn? What am I on about?) He can see his negative traits in Sylvie, and she can see hers in him.

And I may be late to the party- but I’m starting to see the Lokius thing.

Mobius has put so much faith in Loki from the very beginning. He’s known the entire time who Loki is at his core, despite his wrongdoings. He doesn’t love Loki because he, himself, IS Loki. He loves Loki… just because he loves Loki.

They also have this undeniable chemistry. It lights up every scene they’re in together.

Maybe it’s “platonic,” or “brotherly,” or whatever, and like most Lokius shippers, I don’t think Disney/Marvel would ever make it canon. But I would love to see it.
