loki finds glorious purpose in mobius. they said it themselves, they feel like they don't belong without their friends but we saw them quite literally fall apart without mobius numerous times and be absolutely fine without the rest of their friends. they found their glorious purpose in saving the tva, only so they could be together with mobius. because if the tva doesn't exist, they feel like their connection to mobius is gone, which is true on some level since mobius doesn't remember them but they're still THEM without the tva. everything starts to fall apart for loki when mobius isn't there with them and they would be selfish for mobius over and over if it meant keeping him. this loki's glorious purpose isn't the throne or being a benevolent god, it's a simple human who is everything to them. who SAVED them when they first got to the tva, who sees them and believes in them in a way even loki doesn't believe in themselves. this loki's glorious purpose is love.

i am NOT done talking abt marshapple and i NEVER WILL BE
their dynamic could be summarized with the phrase "she loves me like a dog". hear me out!!!!
they've gotten into several fights and disagreements, and have maintained a rivalry through s1 and the beginning of s2, but after they make up in s2 apple becomes attached to marsh severally. she holds marsh so dear to her and follows her around like a pet on a leesh, never leaving her side once they become friends. marsh becomes increasingly uncomfortable w/ this level of attachment, which is not understood by apple. once bow possesses apple to manipulate marsh and abandons their friendship, apple still tries desperately to keep their friendship alive. she doesnt understand why marsh is being so mean, but she doesnt even care because she just loves marsh for being marsh. even after getting thrown out of a window by marshs command, apples still, at least trying, to be close to marsh even after everything. its been so hard to get to a civil point in their relationship, having a long history of hatred, and apple is almost desperate for it to not go back to the way it was.
so when marsh comes back to her at hotel oj and calls for her to come with her, apple accepts immediately. she doesnt fight back she doesnt even consider the idea of denying her request. to run away w marsh is a dream to her. she doesnt know where theyre headed, or if it's safe, we dont even know if marsh apologized, but apple will always come back to her no matter what. she loves her like a dog.
this lack of closure we get on their relationship shows how apple had absolutely no closure abt why marsh treated her like she did, why marsh threw away such long awaited breaking of tension, such a saught after friendship. what was she doing wrong?
but of course, even then, with or without explanation, she came back.
obviously.

It be so funny if they took Joan to soccer game and put her either in the team colour or a cheerleading outfit.
Great minds think alike because I was just thinking that we having checked in with Joan in a while so this problem is perfect.
Every Saturday for over a month now, Joan has watched the humans and Ozzy leave the house in the morning and come back hours later loud, smelly, and energized. She does not have a problem with this per se but if she had eyebrows, she’d raise one of them. She would raise the other when they’re all too tired to play with her for too long after they come back.
So, Joan makes a decision.
When the next Saturday rolls around and Steve is digging around in the drier for his jersey, she makes her case known. She whines. She meows. She gets in the way of every step. She commits a drive-by biting. She even gets in the storage closet in the hallway and knocks over the dreaded cat stroller so it falls into the hallway.
She makes it very clear. She wants to go.
Eddie coos at her, “Awe, baby, she feels left out. Let’s take her.”
“Ed, it’s hot outside,” Steve replies, gesturing to Joan. She rubs her head against his leg. “She’s gray.”
“Steve, don’t be racist.”
“I’m not being – how is that –“ Steve sputters and then rambles on about tiny bodies, and fur, and overheating in the sun, but Joan already knows she got her way. Steve can’t say no to Eddie and he can’t say no to her either. Plus, she always gets her way.
Her way is the right way.
Steve sighs and gives in, “But if she gets too hot, you have to take her home.”
As a reward for Steve and Eddie’s good decision-making, Joan helps them get ready to leave. She wiggles her way into the cabinet with the first-aid kit and pulls out bandaids. She leaves them inside Steve’s cleats. He says thank you when he finds them.
Ozzy huffs from where he’s laying in his dog bed.
Joan purrs when Steve pets her head.
Since Eddie disappeared down into his studio the moment Steve agreed to let her come, Joan continues ‘helping Steve.’ Mainly, she cleans up (eats) all the scraps of lunchmeat he drops when making sandwiches for him, Eddie, Robin, and Nancy.
Eddie immerges from the studio ten minutes before they’re supposed to leave with a hastily sewed shirt made for a cat. It’s made out of the soft material of the cheer squad t-shirts he made for the other team members’ partners. He presents it first to Steve and then holds it out to Joan like, “Ta-dah.”
Joan sniffs the fabric – it smells like Eddie – and Steve is just like, “Why did you make that?”
“Because Joan’s got to represent, Stevie. We’re a jock family now and jocks wear their team colors,” Eddie insists, grin getting bigger when Steve rolls his eyes at him. “Everybody else is wearing team colors. Even Ozzy. See.”
He gestures to the pin attached to his yellow service dog vest that says ‘#1 Steve Harrington Defender.’ It’s right next to a patch that says ‘If You Pet Me, You Are A Part Of The Problem’ which is… “That’s new.”
“Yeah, I’m solving all the world’s problems today, baby,” He grins. “Isn’t that right, Joan?”
She hisses at the shirt.
