#IS HOW THEY SHOULD WRITE IT BUT NEVER WILL GAHHHHHHHH

[thelastharbinger]

something something something loki's love for sylvie more appropriately manifesting as platonic rather than romantic because his love for her is a lesson in healing--particularly the inner child that still holds resentment towards a lying, unaffectionate father. loki's heart breaks for sylvie because it breaks for him too. he sees her and views the version of himself that is still angry and deeply, deeply wounded. his affection stems from the empathy of understanding what it is to have had a narrative for their life controlled/manipulated for them. in their sameness, loki offers the compassion he wishes he would've gotten or would've been able to receive. and because to turn back on her would be to turn back on himself. loki allows himself to be something other than the trickster god he made himself out to be in a desperate plea at taking back control. it is mobius that tells him he can be other than what he was and offers him another mode of survival, all of it a lesson in love. sylvie teaches loki radical self-love, how to show up for himself and others, and mobius is the conduit through which loki practices this healthier way of loving.

Random Cute Moments

So like random cute moments of you and Lachlan that the other guys 'accidentally' forget to edit out of their videos.

"Um Lachlan, you should come here." You call to your boyfriend, running a hand through your hair.

"What is it babe?" He says, coming in the room and wrapping his arms around you from behind, placing a kiss on your cheek.

"Have you seen Vikk's new video?" You ask him, turning your head so you can look him in the eyes.

"No... Why?" He asks back.

"Well one of your fans just commented on my instagram post with this, "OmG I'M PRETTy SuRE THEy'Re A THINg I Can'T BReATHe, AT 12:16 oF VIKK's VlOG LACHlAn aNd (Y/N) aRE CUDdlING GAHHHHHHHh I ShIP IT SO HArD!!!1111!" Should we watch his video and find out?" You ask.

"Well yeah, now I'm curious." Lachlan laughs, and you go to Vikk's youtube and press play on the latest video.

~~~~In the video, at 12:16~~~~

"So we just got back to the rental, and lookie what we've got here." Vikk says, looking into the camera. He turns it so it's facing you and Lachlan on the couch, where you're sitting in Lachlan's lap cuddling with a blanket on. "Care to explain yourselves!? I have this on footage, is (Y/S/N) real!?" Vikk asks, making you and Lachlan laugh.

"Nooooo, of course not. We're just... Cold. You know, the skiing today and the Canadian snow makes people really cold." You laugh out.

"Yeah, just cold. Not dating, I promise mate." Lachlan laughs, burying his head in your shoulder.

"That would be believable... Except we're in a house with heating! Any other excuse? Hmm?" Vikk asks, laughing too.

"Well obviously we're not dating... We're just extra cold people. Yeah, being from Australia... Coldness strikes me harder... (Y/N)'s being a good friend and helping me warm up." Lachlan says, keeping his head rested on your shoulder.

"Well what's in it for her? This isn't adding up guys, I don't know if I believe them..." Vikk says. "I might just have to interview them. So (Y/N), if you and Lachlan aren't dating, who are you dating? I've heard you mention a boyfriend multiple times on this trip."

"Well, he's a blonde idiot who's obsessed with Pokemon, and he's Australian. I don't really know anything else about him." You shrug, looking at Lachlan and letting out a laugh.

"Sounds like you're a sucky girlfriend then, I don't think I'd want to date you." Lachlan says, and you laugh again.

"No comments from you, I initiate the conversation on this channel. What about you Lachlan, if you're not dating (Y/N), who's the mystery girl you tweet about?" Vikk asks.

"Some stupid short girl who has captured my heart, she really likes Doctor Who and is obsessed with cats, I forgot her name though." Lachlan says, laughing while burying his face in your shoulder.

"You cannot keep this in the video." You laugh, talking to Vikk as you stand up from cuddling with Lachlan.

"Awe c'mon, keep cuddling with me!" Is what you hear at the end of the video with a black screen, which is obviously Lachlan.

~~~~Back to where you currently are with Lachlan, not in the video.~~~~

"Shit... What should we do?" You ask Lachlan, removing his arms from you so you can look at him.

"I... I don't know? We could just like... Ignore it? Obviously I'll call Vikk and have him take the last two parts out because those are really suspicious but we could like... Ignore the rest?" He suggests, running a hand through his hair.

"Alright, that's fine." You say. "Now, how about we cuddle?"

~~~~Jerome's turn my dudes ~~~~

"Uhh Lachlan, it happened again!" You call from the bed. You're staying at Lachlan's place and while he's in the bathroom, you're going through your instagram.

"What happened?" He calls, stepping in his room with his toothbrush still in his mouth.

"Just come here when you're done." You laugh at his state, he dropped some toothpaste on his chest. A few minutes later he jumps onto the bed, immediately resting his head on your chest.

"So, what happened again?" He asks.

"Well, one of your fans commented on my instagram photo, "I hate to be that fan, but I think Lachlan and (Y/N) are dating because at 4:42 in Jerome's latest video, they were getting really flirty in the pool"... Do we watch it?" You ask.

"Is that even a question?" He laughs, already taking your phone from you to get the video up.

~~~~ 4:42 in Jerome's video~~~~

"And here we have it... A wild Lachlan and (Y/N) in the pool, be careful or they could attack." Jerome says, the camera focussed on you two in the water.

"Shut up Jerome, we're at war here, I gotta destroy her!" Lachlan shouts, holding his water gun high in the air.

"You could never destroy me, and you know it." You say, shooting at him with water.

"Well (Y/N), all's fair in love and war!" He calls back, moving out of the way so your water doesn't hit him. He shoots back, almost hitting your shoulder.

"Well, which is this?" You ask him, shooting water at him again and this time hitting him.

"Aah! I've been struck, cruel cruel world... I thought I could trust you (Y/N), I really did... Goodbye, tell my girlfriend I love her..." Lachlan says, pretending to die.

"I'm sure she knows, now get up you idiot and let's go for a round two." You tell him, laughing while refilling your water gun. "Get out of here Jerome, before I shoot you too!"

"Alright alright... Jeez, I thought I could get some vlog footage but I guess not." Jerome says, winking at the camera.

~~~~Back to current moment~~~~

"You know, you're friends really suck at listening to the one rule we set, not to have questionable clips of us in their videos." You laugh, running your fingers through Lachlan's hair soothingly.

"Awe c'mon, you know they mean well." Lachlan says. "At least this can be covered up, we could easily say that I was talking about someone else, I never said you were my girlfriend. It's also just a flirty situation, it's not as bad as Vikk's video." Lachlan points out.

"That's true, it could be worse. How about we don't say anything until someone confronts us about it, yeah? I doubt they will, but if anyone tweets us about it we can just say it was taken out of context." You suggest.

"Good idea babe, now how about we go to bed, we have an early day tomorrow..."

~~~~On to Mitch's~~~~

"Oh god, babe, there's more!" You laugh, watching the tweets come in like wildfire.

"What do you mean, stop being vague!" Lachlan calls back, coming in the room wearing just sweatpants and carrying two bowls of cereal.

"We're both getting tweeted things like "When you say you're 'just friends' but you're caught flirting in Mitch's video at 7:52", And "I bet (Y/N) pounced on Lachlan after the camera went off in Mitch's video"... I'm just going to put it on because I bet we're both curious as to what they're talking about." You tell him, placing your laptop on the coffee table and taking one of the cereal bowls from him.

"Alright, let's do this." He laughs as you click the link to the video.

~~~~ Mitch's video at 7:52 ~~~~

"Hey this is a good one, Your eyes are so blue like the ocean, and baby I'm lost at sea." You say to Lachlan, laughing at the cheesiness of it.

"Hey (Y/N), those are nice jeans, do you think I could get in them?" Lachlan says, making you laugh.

"Is it hot in here, or is it just you?" You say, looking at Lachlan and giggling.

"C'mon (Y/N), stop flirting with me." Lachlan laughs, placing his arm around you.

"Shut up Lachy, if you were a triangle you'd be a cute one." You laugh, looking at more of the pick-up lines on your phone.

"Pshh, lame. Are you flappy bird? Because I could tap that ass!" He says, laughing at your reaction.

"That one wasn't funny, that's stupid and kinda rude. Am I just a piece of ass to you?" You pout in the video.

"Awe c'mon, you know it was a joke. You're more than that to me... I thought happiness started with H, why does mine start with U?" He asks, bringing a smile back to your face.

"Sometimes you can be really sweet." You smile.

"Only for you." And at that point the video goes back to Mitch, and he makes a face pretending he's puking.

"God, they're so gross, couples like that need to get a room and not flirt on my back deck." Mitch blurts at the end of the video.

~~~~Back to present time~~~~

"Oh my god, he called us a couple!" Lachlan says, a mouthful of his cereal falling back into his bowl.

"That was disgusting." You laugh. "I mean, technically he said couples like that. We could argue that he never called us a couple? And in the video there is an open beer bottle in front of us, we could say we were both tipsy and were just flirting, neither one of us meant anything more of it?" You offer.

"This is why I'm dating you, you're so smart." He says, spooning a new spoonful of cereal into his mouth.

"And you're disgusting." You say, sticking your tongue out at him and going and writing out a tweet to explain what happened.

~~~~Preston's turn~~~~

"Uhh, (Y/N) we have a problem here." Lachlan says, walking into your bedroom with his laptop.

"What is it? I just wanted to have my boyfriend spend the night with no problems, what's wrong this time?" You pout from the bed, Lachlan joining you. You're laying on your stomach with your feet near your pillows, and Lachlan puts the laptop in front of you and lays beside you.

"I know, I'm sorry babe but look at the tweet I just got." He tells you.

"HA THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD HIDE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SMH LOOK AT 8:04 OF PRESTON'S VIDEO SMH (Y/S/N) IS OBVI REAL" You read out loud. "Well, let's watch it and see how much damage control we can do." You sigh, clicking the link to the video.

~~~~8:04 of Preston's video~~~~

"Guys, I think I'm officially the third wheel." Preston sighs to the camera, turning it around to show you and Lachlan holding hands while in line ordering coffee. "My babe Lachlan hasn't even told me I looked great today, he's too focussed on (Y/N)." Preston says.

Then Lachlan and yourself walk towards Preston, you carrying a cup of coffee. Lachlan sits next to Preston and you sit across from him.

"What, you didn't want a coffee, Lachlan?" Preston asks, his camera pointed at Lachlan and slowly drifting towards the table, where your hand and Lachlan's are still entwined.

"Not really mate, she wanted coffee when she woke up and told me we had to leave our room and come check out this shop, you told her all about it before we flew here apparently." Lachlan laughs.

"Keep your camera on yourself, mister." You laugh, blocking your face from Preston's camera that's made it's focus on you.

"Well why? You look beautiful today, (Y/N)." Preston tells you.

"Hey, keep your comments to yourself. Leave my girl alone." Lachlan says, though you can hear the humor in his voice. "You do look great though, (Y/N)." He adds.

"Oh shut up, I'm wearing yoga pants and one of your baggy hoodies, and I have no make-up on. I only left like this because I needed to try this coffee that Preston said was all the hype, and I can confirm it is." You say, and the cameras back to being pointed at you.

"Guys, in the comments below tell (Y/N) she looks great today, even if she's only wearing yoga pants and one of Lachlan's hoodies." Preston says, and you laugh on camera.

"Thanks Preston, but they don't have to do that." You laugh in the video.

"Well they do, because if Lachlan is going to stop telling me I look good for you, then the fans better too. I either get all the love or no love." Preston says, turning the camera back to himself and pouting.

"Awe Preston mate, you look great today." Lachlan says, coming into frame and patting Preston on the shoulder.

"It's too late for that Lachlan, you've replaced me with (Y/N). I'll never be good enough for you anymore." Preston says. Then the video goes black and Preston put sad music on and has subtitles that say '1 like and maybe Lachlan will love me again' and things like that.

~~~~Back to present day ~~~~

"Oh well, that's not that bad." You shrug, looking at Lachlan beside you.

"Really? You're not mad?"He asks.

"No, I'm not mad. You're the one that wants the relationship to be secret still, I don't really care. There's only a few suspicious things in here anyways, like you calling me your girl, and us holding hands. But both of those things friends can do." You point out, crawling on the bed so you're laying on it normally. "Now come cuddle with me, you giant teddy bear." You laugh, watching Lachlan roll his eyes at the name for him.

~~~~ Last but not least, Rob's turn ~~~~~

"Okay, (Y/N), I think we fucked up." Lachlan says as you two are cuddling on the couch, both of you doing your own things on your phones, but he's holding you as you both lay on the couch.

"What is it this time." You groan, already looking at his phone.

"This is the first comment I read on my instagram photo, it says "WE HAVE PROOF GO TO 10:47 IN ROBS VIDEO OBVI THATS YOU TWO MAKING OUT!!!!" It's a link to Rob's video and I swear to god I'll kill him if it's actually us making out..." Lachlan mumbles, clicking the link.

~~~~ 10:47 in Rob's video ~~~~

"So guys, I'd just like to thank you for supporting me and enabling me to do things like this, without you guys I wouldn't be able to go to a club like this," Rob says, taking a pause to spin around and show off the club with the fancy lighting. When he stops spinning, right behind him is two figures which is very obviously you and Lachlan, making out in the center of the bar. "And this is amazing, I can't believe I'm here with some really awesome people, Drake's here somewhere! God I love you guys, I can't thank you enough!" And then the outro plays.

~~~~ Back to present day ~~~~

"Well, I don't think we can come back from that one." You say, looking at Lachlan.

"Shit..." He mumbles. "Can you really tell it's us? Or, could it maybe be just people that look like us?" He asks.

"No Lachlan, that's obviously us. Look, I don't know why you want to keep us some big secret, but I'm honestly getting tired of it." You sigh.

"What are you tired of? I'm just trying to protect you, it shouldn't be a problem that I want our relationship to be hidden." He says.

"It feels like you just want to be single, or that you think that I'm not good enough, but no matter what it is, I'm sick of it. I'm going to go home, text me when you've decided what you want to do." You sigh, getting out of his embrace and walking out his front door. You start crying when you're out the door, realizing he's not going to try and stop you from leaving.

When you get home, you immediately fall asleep, crying to yourself. When you wake up, you have many tweets to you saying go check out Lachlan's video, and then you see his tweet yourself. "I love you, here's a video." And a link to his newest youtube video. You click it, and it's titled "Top secret footage of my girlfriend and I".

~~~~ In Lachlan's video ~~~~

"You know Lachlan, I wish you showed me as much love as you show Drake." You sigh to Lachlan's camera that you're holding, both of you in frame as he drives the car you're in, Drake coming through the speakers.

"You know I love you more than him, right (Y/N)? Just never make me prove it." He laughs, stopping at the red light and giving you a kiss. "Now I gotta edit this out, huh?" He laughs, kissing you again.

-Next scene in video-

"Now guys, I was on my way to (Y/N)'s and I asked her if she needed anything, and she texted me that she needed cat food, I think she's honestly a crazy cat lady." He laughs, walking through your apartment.

"Lachlan!" You call, running to your front door and hugging him to you tightly. "I missed you." You mumble, holding him to you for a few seconds.

"Did you miss me, or did you just need this cat food?" He laughs, hugging you back with the hand that's not holding the camera.

"Maybe a bit of both." You laugh, looking at the camera.

"I don't get why I'm buying you cat food, only one of your four cats tolerates me." He pouts at the camera.

"Awe Lachy, you know that's not true. They're just protective of me, besides even if they don't tolerate you, I do." You smile up at him.

"Wow guys, my girlfriend only tolerates me. You heard it here first. I'm in pain, I don't know if I can continue dating someone who only tolerates me." He says, mocking hurt as he looks at the camera.

"You know I meant that in a cute way, as in it doesn't matter what my cats think of you. And we both know this is never going on youtube either, you just called me your girlfriend in it." You laugh, sticking your tongue out at the camera pointed at you.

-Next scene-

"I love you." Lachlan says, the camera pointed at the two of you cuddling on the couch. You're laying on top of him, your head buried in his chest.

"Stop recording me." You mumble sleepily into him.

"I just said I loved you." Lachlan pouts, looking at the camera.

"Babe, I'm sick and I just want cuddles. I love you too, but I'm not anywhere near good enough to go on youtube right now." You mumble, turning your head to see he's still recording and you pout.

"(Y/N) I don't care if you're sick, you're always good enough to go on my channel. I don't care what you look like, and neither should my viewers. Your personality is what I fell for, not you're smoking hot face. Though that is a plus." He says, petting your hair.

"I love you, Lachlan." You smile, cuddling closer to his chest.

-Next scene-

"Doctor Who is on, get that camera out of my face!" You yell, trying to shove his camera away from you.

"No babe, we need to film an outro for the video we recorded earlier!" Lachlan laughs.

"Lachlan I swear, get that damn camera out of my face! I need to see how badly Missy and the Master fuck over twelve, I swear I'm going to kill both of them! I knew she couldn't be trusted!" You ramble.

"Okay babe, I get it. Doctor Who is more important than me. Noted." Lachlan pouts at the camera.

"Oh c'mon you dork, I never said that. Just cuddle me and let me watch my show, then we can do whatever you want."

-Next scene-

"So (Y/N)... Now that we're officially in America, what would you like to do?" Lachlan asks, starting his vlog for your first actual day in America.

"I want to go clubbing, find me a hot American guy while I'm here." You smile, letting out a laugh for the camera pointed at you. "You should see your face, I'm only kidding babe. That was just for you to use as content for your video."

"I don't want my fans thinking that you're looking for an American guy! Do you know how many more guys than there are already will be hitting up your DM's?" Lachlan asks.

"Fine, okay. Well then if I'm being honest, what I want to do in America is make many memories with the boy I love. I can't wait to go check out the Statue of Liberty with you, and go to central park where we'll just hold hands and be just as normal as the other tourists. And I want to go to so many little cafes and make memories we'll never get to experience with anyone else there. I'm excited to fall in love with you in different places, and to make so many unforgettable memories we can tell our future children one day when telling them the story of how we fell hopelessly in love with each other. That's what I want to do in America, if that's okay." You smile up at him and the camera.

"Fuck, I'm so in love with you." He says, leaning down to kiss you which the camera catches, and that's where the video ends.

You're crying tears of joy, so happy Lachlan told the fans about your relationship. There's a knock on your door, and you immediately get out of bed to run and answer it, knowing who it is. When you open it and Lachlan's standing there holding a bouquet of roses, you jump into his arms and give him a kiss. "I'm still so in love with you." You say, pulling away for just a second before pulling him in and continuing the kiss.

"Good, because I meant what I said." He says, kissing you back.

A/N I'm actually so proud of this you don't even know, I haven't written in awhile and this is the second thing I've written since my hiatus and I'm honestly so SO proud of it :))
