the theme that always resonates me the most in stories is “the world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.”

If you're ever asking an autistic person to do something, be sure to explain why you want them to do it.

When I was a kid, I always kept the windows open when it rained. I saw no reason to close them even though my mom kept asking me to. She never gave a reason, so I never listened. She'd say it let the rain in and I'd think "no shit" and continue to keep them open. Eventually, she explained that it could cause mold. That made sense to me, so I started closing the windows. Simple as that.

When we first got cats, they kept jumping onto the counters. Once again, I saw no issue with this. My mom kept chasing them down and I couldn't figure out why. She'd get annoyed whenever I let them stay up there. Once she told me that it was unsanitary, I thought that made sense so I stopped letting them stay on the counter.

To an outsider (and probably to my mom at the time) it may have seemed like I didn't understand the instructions or was being intentionally difficult. But I can't just follow an order without a reason. I must decide for myself if the order makes sense before I follow it, and I need the logic behind it to do that.

So if you're asking an autistic person to do something, explain why it needs to be done. It's very hard for a lot of us to override that part of our brains.

Okay, i'll say it: i do not like Sylki's dynamic being romantic in spite of them being the Variants of the same being.

No, i like them being in a romantic relationship because they are the Variants (well, this is one of the reasons i love them together).

First of all, i have said it countless times, there is nothing in the real world that could be in any way comparable to the relation that the alternative universe versions of the same being would have. THIS IS A PURELY MADE-UP, SPECULATIVE, FICTIONAL CONCEPT.

Hypothetically speaking, if there really was such a thing, then we still would have to come up with the brand new and specific attitudes towards such occurrences because there is no already existing equivalent for them. They are the Variants of the same being but two completely different people on DNA, genetic and molecular levels. WHAT THEY DO SHARE IS THE SAME SOUL. So, in our world's standards, they would be considered to be the two pretty much unrelated people. BUT AGAIN, MEETING THE ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE VERSION OF ONESELF IS NOT A REAL THING!

Moving on, why do i like the idea of Sylki in this aspect? Well, i am a huge SciFi and Mythic Fiction nerd. Oh my, i can't describe how much i love these genres (i was basically raised on Star Trek, then took like, 5 different courses on Mythology). I also believe that mixing these genres up has a huge potential but it is incredibly difficult.

However, the creative team of Loki managed to do exactly this and they did it perfectly. How? By making Sylki romantic. Loki and Sylvie's love story tied together SciFi and Mythology in the most deliciously perfect way (why not make their relationship platonic? Romance works better as a metaphor bcs it has more intense implications).

Their dynamic is the most perfect way to explore the concept of the Soulmates in Mythology inspired SciFi.

This is only one aspect of their relationship. I love Sylki for many other reasons besides them being the Variants thus exploring SciFi.esque possibilities of romance and having parallels with mythology. This pairing is very multilayered. You could just love it for multiple different reasons: Loki learning to love selflessly, Sylvie meeting someone who cares about her (for the very first time in her life), them being Enemies to Lovers, Soulmates, this somewhat being a Hurt/Comfort relationship, them being a bisexual pairing.

Besides, their relationship was developed very well. It is a slow-burn in spite of Loki having only 6 episodes. The way they delivered the love story relied on the Female Gaze and subtle hints as well as the incredibly believable performances and the magnetic chemistry between the actors.

i know a lot ot us have that "what if i'm actually annoying" fear, and while i COULD self-soothe with affirmations like "i'm not annoying, it's okay" i prefer "it is my human right to be annoying and cringe"

finding out several clone wars eps were written by george lucas' then-teenage daughter is putting me in absolute shambles they were making episodes written by a high schooler
