I just don’t get how people can be so mean to some female characters. Like what’s the point of hating on them continuously?
People started calling Kamala crazy and obsessed because she met her idol, she was pretty excited (who wouldn’t BE?!), but when Peter Parker behaved the same way towards Tony everyone was like: “Omg!! He’s such a cute baby🥺🥺 They have a father-son relationship! So cute uwu!”. LIKE???!!!?!
Another example, Starlord singing and dancing in front of the enemy: “Oh my gosh!! So quirky!! Chris Pratt is the best🤣” . Jennifer Walters/SheHulk twerking with Megan Thee Stallion: “Mcu is in shambles” “This is what feminists like” “Cringe”
Again, Jane Foster has been called annoying, bitchy, or USELESS since 2011 (she only an astrophysicist who proved the existence of the einstein-rosen bridge, won a nobel prize, she’s the reason Thor is part of the avengers, and she’s also a cutie, nothing serious.) She was also called evil, you know by who? Fans of the same guy who took New York as hostage killing millions of people, yeah. She’s a bitch because Frigga died defending her, of course!!! It’s not (partially) Loki’s fault for showing the Dark Elves the fastest way out of the cells. (And I’m saying this as a Loki fan)
I could go on and on talking about Riri as the new ironman or Miguel O’Hara fans hating on Spider-Gwen. (OR LITERALLY THE WHOLE INTERNET ISSUE WITH BRIE LARSON/CAPTAIN MARVEL FOR SOME REASON?!!?)
You have all the rights to dislike a character, just don’t be sexist and incoherent, it’s easy. Why would you hate women for the same reason you love those men?

Noa, entering the room: You think that?
Loki, jumping away when he hears Noa's voice: Mister Noa, sir! I was just keeping an eye on your adopted son, who I otherwise don't know!
Noa, eyeing Loki suspiciously: Really?
Loki: Y-yeah!

France’s PXG: Julian Loki
My sweet
Julian definitely is an older sibling (literally made a 3 post long argument on how he is one so TRUST he is). His favorite memory of his little sibling is when they first said his name. The small ‘Julian’ mumbled in multiple breaths (ju..julian yk) made him pause his homework and look them straight in the eye. They stared back with a big, innocent smile. Julian broke out into a smile of his own and grabbed the little guy for a hug.
Julian has such a carefree relationship with his mom, he gives off such mama’s boy vibes. They are a duo that would stay up late watching tv shows even though he has school in the morning and his mom has work. When his mother would cook something Julian was always her taste tester. He lost count the amount of times he would go back for seconds just to “get a better taste” and receive a wooden spoon to the hand. Julian’s mother would adore his girlfriend, especially since she can tell what a good impact you have on her son.
Julian would work well with someone who has a lot of energy but doesn’t need to be monitored or babysat. For example, say he is out at an amusement park with his friends and significant other. His girlfriend sees a game stand that piques her interest and hurls away from the group to investigate with determined steps. Julian isn’t worried about her getting lost or in an altercation with someone. he knows she’ll be back soon and give everyone a detailed report of the stand, the game set up, and the prizes offered. Whether or not she will ask him to spot her some cash to play the game is a whole other story. (Brother is loaded just from playing football)
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
England’s Manshine City: Chris Prince
I hate him
Pathetic man baby vibes
Chris is very aware of his personal hygiene and is ridiculously active in taking care of his body. He has a personal massager, esthetician, chiropractor, waxer, the works. He loves his physicality too much to let himself rust in any capacity. He almost never skips brushing his teeth or washing his face. If he isn’t fueled with a type of passion or desperate enough, he won’t kiss you in the morning until you both at least have some mouth wash. He carries two different deodorant scents in his practice bag. This is nice because you know he won’t ever smell bad, but sometimes he becomes cologne nose blind (especially on high end dates).
He has a beef with Americans. (I don’t know if he’s confirmed English but he is today) He doesn’t mock them or become outwardly rude to them, but he’s thankful to be in the European League and not the North American League (is that a real league? Google isn’t helping and I don’t know shit abt professional soccer leagues-) Chris goes bonkers when someone jokingly calls him an American; as he will be whining and waving his arms about how he’s so much better than them and how it insults his legacy to be compared to an American and not be acknowledged as an English man.
When his hair isn’t cooperating with him he cries out of frustration.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Spain’s FC Barcha: Lavinho
Lavinho loves the feeling of dancing with his partner. It’s intimate and free, no matter what style nor if there was music or not. Lavinho is so fond of holding your hips and gently swaying the two of you in the silent hours of the night that he has a pep in his step when he walks home from practice. Your scent filling his nostrils, the heat he can feel coming from your neck and shoulder as he rests his head there, it’s all too perfect as he begins to hum a song to himself.
Lavinho would want to get a tattoo reminiscent of you. If yall ever were that serious. At first he was thinking of your name, but you shot that down quickly. Something more primal and colorful was more his style. He wants something that represents you, though. Y’all compromise on a couple things that fit both of your wishes. Your favorite flower, a kiss mark, and a woman dancing with a pair of wings emerging from her back. (Picture this omg. The woman could be bowing, in the middle of a dance move or smth and the wings are halfway out of her back. Or something like the woman looking up and outstretched and welcoming to the feeling around her. With the wings spread out powerful and graceful. Okay I’m done I’m done)
Lavinho loves being barefoot. If he can’t be barefoot, Lavinho is wearing open toed shoes. Chanclas, flip flops, Birkenstocks, doesn’t matter. He grew up like this, and doesn’t quite want to conform his freedom and customs to the world of Europe yet. Even if he has been living there for years. He gets so happy at feeling sand under his feet as well, it reminds him of his younger childhood days in the best way. (This is prolly canon bc the first time we see him he’s barefoot right?)
Am I becoming a Lavinho girl..?

Italy’s Ubers: Marc Snuffy
I don’t like him but I don’t hate him-
He says ‘shitty brats’ too much in the same breath at the end of the Ubers vs BM match I think he unlocked his previous degradation kink or smth idek maybe that’s why
Okay focus
Mick Moon’s death still haunts Snuffy. He hasn’t truly let it go, and even though he seems to make progress during the Ubers vs BM match, he has a long way to go to fully come to peace with his best friend’s death. Most times Snuffy can’t drink alcohol without thinking of Mick and becoming guilty. All the thoughts of how he could have saved Mick from his fate, how he did try but it wasn’t enough, how he allowed for his best friend to ruin his own life- even though that meant Mick stayed true to his philosophy. It hurts Snuffy. It’s the main reason why Snuffy cares so deeply for his teammates now, and why he goes out of his way to make sure they are okay mentally in his own way.
Snuffy wasn’t that interested in the luxury of lust that came from women when he first started out on his dream to being a professional footballer. It wasn’t until Mick that he started indulging in being a lady’s man. While it was almost always lustful and physical, the women that tugged at his heartstrings were the ones that would compliment Snuffy’s nose. The ones that would hold his face to their chest and give him slow, loving kisses to his nose while their hands moved further up into his hair. The ones that knew his eyes were actually orange and not brown and how those women looked into his sharp, big eyes like he was the reason for all their happiness was surreal. Those instances it would become all too real for Snuffy. The lines between lust and something more would get blurred and blurred until he got scared and backed away and moved to the next lady in the next club with a smaller smile than before.
Snuffy is very proud of his black belt in Jujitsu. Especially with the way it helps him on the football field. His understanding of his own body and abilities mean more to him than the average person too. Also because of Mick and how Mick ignored his body both before and after getting let go as a footballer.
Okay, Snuffy isn’t that bad I guess-
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Germany’s Bastard Munchen: Noel Noa
My man my man my man
Let me give you a big smooch
Noel sunburns so easily. He never tans, he always burns a hot pink. He has but an ounce of melanin in his skin that prevents him from being totally albino. Because of this, he is very serious and methodical about applying sunscreen. He applies daily, especially when he knows he’ll be outside for practice or a game. He also isn’t that fond of costal activities because of the sun exposure, even more so because he can’t swim that well. (OMG I read a little blurb about Noel not being able to swim but his wife loved to I don’t know who wrote it but it was so cute I’ll try to find the writer)
He does interviews for football, but finds them rather bland and not that important. He likes to discuss football strategies and profile analysis he’s done of other players, but most of the time reporters aren’t that interested in his words. They always want to know more intimate details about him, it feels like to Noel. Just not his exact cup of tea, but he knows other players are always willing to talk in an interview so he leaves the chitter to them if he can. He likes for his actions on the field to speak for him.
Noel makes an effort to acknowledge stray animals if he can. The cat sitting on the restaurant sill? He gave it some head scratches before continuing his walk. The dog that always lays in the same sunny spot of concrete on the sidewalk? Noel has given him some water just yesterday. It feels as though he’s paying homage to their sacrifices by giving them small acts of domesticity as he was once a stray too. He still feels like one sometimes. At night when he’s awake in his bed thinking, he ponders the possibility of taking one of the many strays home with him. He won’t allow himself to though. He can’t stoop so low as to take an animal into a home that he knows he’ll be absent enough from them (his football commitment sigh) to not properly take care of them, his head reasons, even if his heart wants him to act so unrationally.

Over the past 13 years, Tom Hiddleston has died more times than he can recall. “Let me think about this,” the actor tells us, pausing to count in his head. “I think, officially, there were two big ones.” 
He’s referring to his many exits from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the blockbuster franchise in which he’s played shape-shifting Norse god Loki Laufeyson since Kenneth Branagh’s 2011 film “Thor”—the son of Asgardians Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and Frigga (Rene Russo), and the half-sibling of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the god of thunder. 
The character has since bounced between villain and reluctant antihero across five films, a handful of post-credits scenes, and Michael Waldron’s Disney+ spinoff series “Loki,” which Hiddleston also executive produces. The show wrapped its second—and supposedly final—season last November. The finale presents an end for the character, but not one of the aforementioned “big ones.” 
Hiddleston’s first “official” farewell came in Alan Taylor’s 2013 sequel “Thor: The Dark World,” which saw the god of mischief take a sword to the chest to save his beefy brother. “As written in the first script, it was a true sacrifice,” Hiddleston says. Unfortunately for Marvel’s long-term plans, the actor had done too good a job playing the trickster.
Tumblr media
“When Marvel [executives] were testing the movie, they’d given [viewers] questionnaires that said, ‘Is there anything you didn’t understand?’ ” he remembers. “Literally every single audience member said, ‘Well, obviously, Loki’s not really dead.’ ” 
In classic comic-book fashion, the character did return, gallivanting alongside his brother in Taika Waititi’s 2017 follow-up “Thor: Ragnarok.” He died again one year later (“big one” number two) in the Russo brothers’  “Avengers: Infinity War.” There were no smokescreens or questionnaires this time; audiences watched as Loki’s neck was crushed by the purple fist of intergalactic warlord Thanos (Josh Brolin). 
Hiddleston remembers arriving in Atlanta to shoot his final scene and immediately bumping into Brolin. “He came up to me, gave me this huge hug, and said, ‘I’m so sorry, man.’ ” 
He meant it, too; everyone meant it. The sun, it seemed, had actually set on Hiddleston’s MCU journey. “At the end of that scene, I got a big round of applause, and everybody was so sweet and kind and gracious,” he says. “I got notes and emails saying, ‘Tom, you’ve done so much for us—what a journey. Come and see us anytime.’ I really thought that was the end.” 
And it was, for real, right up until it wasn’t—when the time-traveling shenanigans of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” blasted a younger version of Loki out of the established canon and into his own series. Over two seasons, the multiversal storyline envisions the title character as a figure who exists outside time and space. Across all there is, was, and may come to pass, there will always be a Loki, in some form, wreaking havoc. 
Hiddleston has long since accepted what this means for him as an actor. Maybe “Loki” Season 2 really was his last time in the role; or maybe he’ll play him until the sun burns out. “I’ve realized that, in human consciousness, that’s who Loki is,” he says. “Loki is this ancient, mythic character, who, in our collective mythology, represents the trickster, the transgressor, the boundary-crosser, the shape-shifter—somebody who’s mercurial and spontaneous and unpredictable who will always confound your expectations and wriggle out from underneath your certainties and convictions. Someone who we need and [who] is necessary.”
Hiddleston pauses, getting emotional. “Maybe Loki escaping death a couple of times is sort of an emblem of who he is in our culture,” he says, grinning at his own gusto. The actor has a habit of being self-deprecating about the depth of the character’s lore. “I spend a lot of time thinking about Loki. You can probably tell.”
You can tell, and it’s incredibly endearing. Talking to Hiddleston about Loki feels like discussing Shakespeare’s Richard III with Laurence Olivier or Tennessee Williams’ Blanche DuBois with Jessica Lange. They were actors who put their definitive stamps on those roles by returning to the well and constantly digging deeper. 
In conversation, Hiddleston is equally as likely to reference comic-book arcs as he is the ancient, anonymous Old Norse scribes of the “Poetic Edda” or Richard Wagner’s epic four-cycle opera “Der Ring des Nibelungen.” He speaks reverently of actors who embodied the trickster god before him, like Jim Carrey in Chuck Russell’s 1994 comedy “The Mask” and Alan Cumming in Lawrence Guterman’s 2005 sequel, “Son of the Mask.” He also heaps praise on those who played the part after him, such as his “Loki” costars Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Deobia Oparei, and—in one very surreal Season 1 moment—“some alligator they found somewhere.” He cites legendary Marvel creators Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Walter Simonson alongside the likes of English essayist Walter Pater and Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, who once wrote of life as a “splendid torch” to keep burning for those who follow.
“Loki is ‘a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment,’ ” Hiddleston quotes, “and I want to make it burn as brightly as I can before passing it on to future generations.” 
Tumblr media
This level of study started before he even landed the role. He recalls the 24 hours leading up to his “Thor” audition, when he was 28 years old. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2005, he quickly earned small-screen and stage acclaim—but he hadn’t yet achieved a major breakthrough. When he received the script for “Thor,” it felt familiar. “I remember thinking, This is almost Shakespearean, this language,” Hiddleston says. “What’s the best example I can [look to] of an actor who managed to humanize and make real this elevated world of myth?” 
He found the answer in Christopher Reeve, who played the title role in Richard Donner’s 1978 blockbuster “Superman.” “He’s masterful in that film,” Hiddleston says. “In a way, it’s a similar premise: He’s a god or he’s a being from a different realm, and it’s not naturalistic in the way that we might expect. He does it so truthfully, and it’s so clear and clean and open and honest. I thought, If I can even approximate or get close to the kind of clarity that Christopher Reeve had in those films, I’ll be lucky.” 
And then, the morning of his “Thor” audition, Hiddleston went for a run, “which is my habit before doing anything unusual,” he explains. 
Running has remained a constant throughout the actor’s MCU tenure. At any given moment over the last decade, the god of mischief was likely doing laps around Marvel’s go-to shooting location, Pinewood Studios (now Trilith Studios) in Atlanta. “Life is movement; I really believe that,” Hiddleston says. 
“I find when I’m running or walking, the repetitive nature of it relaxes the mind and allows ideas and inspiration to come from a deeper place. I see my work as an actor—especially in preparation for a project or a scene—as almost preparing myself to be open and ready to receive ideas, to receive energy from other actors, to receive energy from my imagination.”
Hiddleston found the technique particularly helpful when he was filming a scene for the “Loki” series premiere that he calls “one of the most thrilling challenges I’ve ever had as an actor.” In it, Loki has been poached from the flow of time itself by the temporality-policing Time Variance Authority and forced to watch what is, essentially, a highlight reel of his entire MCU arc. It’s one of the most deeply existential moments you’ll ever find streaming alongside the likes of “Bluey” and the “Cars” movies. Here is a man watching the sum total of his life—his hopes, his dreams, his failures, his own death—play out in a 30-second clip that ends with the cold, clinical words: “End of file.”
“I just kept imagining: If you were afforded the opportunity or forced to watch your own death as a bystander, it would bring about an existential shock and crisis unlike any other,” Hiddleston explains. “It was a scene where I thought, I don’t have a reference for how to play this. I just have to allow shock, disgust, disgrace, shame, disbelief, acceptance, incredulity, and sorrow to exist in the center of me.” 
As an executive producer on the series, Hiddleston had a say as to which of Loki’s many misdeeds would play in the sequence. He chose clips like Frigga’s death in “Thor: The Dark World” and his father’s final words in “Thor: Ragnarok”—moments Hiddleston knew would most fill the character with regret. As production was preparing to shoot the scene, he asked first assistant director Richard Graves for a 20-minute warning.
Tumblr media
 “I decided to jog around the stage and internalize as many of those memories of those people, those characters, those actors [as possible]—to try and find the center of my own vulnerability,” Hiddleston says. “Part of the joy of it was just going back to basics, trying to simplify this very complex thing…. Go for a jog, get into your body, allow yourself to be open, and just be there; just feel it.”
One “Loki”-like time jump later, Hiddleston found himself in a similar situation as he was preparing to shoot his final moment of Season 2—a scene that effectively caps Loki’s 13-year arc. Across 12 episodes, the show guided its title character toward a truly heroic end: With all of existence on the verge of collapse, he steps out of time to tie the strands of every reality together. As the credits roll, Loki sits at the center of time, holding in place all that is—alone. 
It’s a lot for any actor to internalize, especially one who’s performing solo in front of a blue screen. With 45 minutes to cameras rolling, episode co-director Aaron Moorhead made a suggestion. “He said to me, ‘Why don’t you go back, if you can bear it, and watch some of your work [over] the last 15 years?’ ” Hiddleston remembers. “ ‘Take it in, see what it means to you, and then carry it when you step out onto the stage.’ ” 
The actor took Moorhead’s advice to heart. And suddenly, without meaning to, he was mirroring the moment that started the series: absorbing the sum total of Loki’s MCU run. But this time, his regret had been replaced with gratitude. Hiddleston watched clips from “Thor,” remembering a time when he and Hemsworth had yet to ascend to the A-list. He recalled working with powerhouses like Hopkins and Russo, and the bonds he forged with the “original six Avengers” in 2011. He thought about how fun it was to film “Thor: Ragnarok” with Tessa Thompson and Jeff Goldblum, and of the more recent friendships he found with his “Loki” castmates Di Martino and Owen Wilson. 
“I thought, What Loki is doing, he is doing for his friends. And so, Tom, why don’t you do it for your friends?” Hiddleston says. “That’s where the two of us met in that moment. And then I was so grateful I had this most amazing crew, and we did it together.”
The actor is, of course, noncommittal as to whether this is actually the end of his MCU run. The franchise is scheduled out until at least 2027, and Hemsworth has mentioned his desire to make another “Thor” film. And if Loki’s past has proven anything, even the most official endings can be undone. 
Either way, it seems to Hiddleston that something significant has ended, even if it’s just Loki’s full-circle arc. “I hope it feels redemptive because his broken soul is partially healed; and you see that this character, who is capable of love, has made a decision from and for love,” he says. The actor cites the “beautiful prologue” of the first “Thor” film, in which Hopkins’ Odin tells his two sons: “Only one of you can ascend to the throne, but both of you were born to be kings.”
“At the end of Season 2, Loki is sitting on a kind of throne; but it’s not arrived in the shape he expected, and there’s no glory in it,” Hiddleston explains. “There’s a kind of burden, and he’s alone. He’s doing it for his friends, but he has to stay there without them. There’s a poetic melancholy there which I found very moving.”
For now, Hiddleston “can’t even conceive” of his life without Loki. He only hopes that he’s lived up to his guiding ethos as an actor, which he sums up with a plea from E.M. Forster’s 1910 novel “Howards End”: “Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height.”
“The feedback loop for actors is that we get to inhabit a fiction,” Hiddleston says. “But hopefully, that fiction bears the shape of a truth that we recognize about life—that what we do reflects the ups and downs, the peaks and troughs, and the breadth and profundity of all of our lives.”
Hiddleston exists in that space between fiction and reality, the work and the resulting art, the prose and the passion. Long after we’ve moved on from our interview and started casually discussing the cherry blossoms blooming in New York, his eyes light up. He’s made another connection, remembered one more thing—just one last thing he’d like to impart about Loki. 
He spends a lot of time thinking about Loki. You can probably tell.
“I’m so aware that the reason I’ve been able to play him for so long is because of the audience’s curiosity and passion,” Hiddleston says. “I’ve been delighted to find that for a character of such stature, he’s remarkably human. Many of the characteristics that people connect to in Loki are deeply human feelings. That’s been the pleasure, is infusing this elevated character with humanity.”
Even then, honestly, it feels as if Hiddleston, like Loki, could go on forever. Unfortunately, outside of the MCU, time moves in only one direction. Once again, he has to run.

Octavian’s treatment is one of my least favorite things about HoO because it isn’t his character, it’s his lack of one.
We COULD’VE had an excellent character who was a look into what could truly go wrong with blind devotion like Octavian’s, drawing an excellent parallel to Luke’s blind hatred in the original series (Percy even says Octavian reminds him of Luke).
We COULD’VE had a fantastic contrast into a follower’s descent into insanity after making empty promises of power whilst under the influence of a massively elder being, thus leading to said follower’s death.
What makes me especially mad is that Octavian has no backstory. This is a problem with a lot of Roman characters, but Octavian especially. He doesn’t even have a last name. All we know is:
- He’s a legacy of Apollo.
- He used to be sane and probably very charismatic, due to Reyna stating she used to have a crush on him in TTT.
That’s it! One of Rick’s gold stars is that his human characters are just that: human. They have motivations and flaws, deeply personal origins and ideals that affect their actions and their outcomes. None of the villains are just plain villains, evil by birth. They have motives to back up their actions (now weither those motives make sense or not, that’s another story, but they’re still there.) There’s Luke, Medea, Lityerses (who is an entire other can of worms), Circe, Loki, Gunilla, Randolph, hell, even Kronos and Gaea. All of them have reasons for the shitty stuff they did. Octavian is a glaring exception. We know he’s power-hungry, but we don’t know why. We know he’s violent, but we don’t know why. We know he hates the Greeks, but we don’t know why. You may argue ‘oh, he’s a minor character, he doesn’t really get a reasoning’ which is just blatantly untrue on both fronts.
1: Octavian is NOT a minor character in the slightest. He has major roles in the plot throughout the books.
2: Him being a ‘minor’ villain wouldn’t have anything to do with his motivation. Chris from the OG series has stated motivation, and he’s way more minor than Octavian.
Another thing is that Octavian’s insanity is played off almost comically. He’s relatively well put together in SoN, only being super dramatic and reportedly blackmailing Hazel and probably other legionnaires, but by BoO he’s absolutely broken. He’s utterly obsessed with being a hero to the Romans, with being Pontifex Maximus, with killing Gaea and almost proving himself to Apollo (who is utterly disgusted by him), but it’s all either framed as ‘hate this guy more plsplspls’ or brushed away to the side.
I’m torn on his death scene, because it’s a good scene overall but too much of it is humorous in my opinion. Between Will calling Octavian an ‘anemic loser’ (which like. what.) and Leo describing his screams as a little girl’s, it seems almost too light for such a pivotal point in the story. Octavian has truly lost himself to madness, ranting and raving and insisting no, HE has to be the one to kill Gaea, HE has to be a hero.
His death is horrific, yet it’s framed as a silly oopsie.
What the fuck.
Overall, Octavian is a shining example of missed character potential. We could have gotten the Riordan special and made to empathize more with our villain, like what happened with Luke or Randolph from MCGA, but all we get is a crazy blond kid, character so shallow he could count as a tide pool. It infuriates me to no end how in a sea of good, properly motivated antagonists, Octavian is the outlier.
It’s a real shame.

In this last moment of innocence before episode 5 comes out I've decided to share with my future self my biggest fears and dreams for the series, so that I can look at them in a week or so and rationally decide the destiny of Marvel.
I will have to burn Marvel to the ground if one or more of these things happen:
Mobius sacrifices himself and does not come back (at least not as the Mobius we know)
Loki sacrifices himself so that all his friends can go back to their timelines
Loki sacrifices himself and Mobius keeps working for a (redeemed) TVA on his own
Sylvie ends up with Mobius as a love interest
Sylkie canon
Mobius is a Thor's Variant
Mobius is a variant of anything/anyone else
Loki is in any way related to Mobius (brother, son, cousin, whatever)
Mobius and Loki say goodbye, Loki leaving to manage the TVA with Sylvie and Mobius staying on his timeline
The original timeline Mobius is dead so Mobius stays behind to take his place without Loki
I'll have to thank Marvel and potentially build a monument to it if one or more of these things happen (not in order of importance):
Mobius sacrifices himself for Loki but comes back safe and happy to stay with him
Loki sacrifices himself for Mobius but comes back safe and happy to stay with him. Bonus: Loki uses the phrase "Glorious purpose" when Mobius tries to stop him and it's clear their friendship has become the real glorious purpose of Loki's life
Loki is Mobius' original nexus event
Mobius stays on his original timeline and Loki decides to remain by his side. Bonus: Mobius has kids and Loki adopts them too
Loki and Mobius save the day and they go off to save timelines together. Bonus: when bidding them goodbye, Sylvie makes a joke about their being starstruck lovers and we understand it's not so much of a joke
Lokius openly canon, with love declaration, actual kiss, forehead touching and/or hand holding (big big plus for the Marvel monument thing I mentioned)
The Loki who's traveling through time is responsible for many of the things we saw in the first two seasons and most of them were done to get Mobius' memories back (i.e. the jetsky magazine on Mobius' desk)
The moment Mobius' memories come back is a VERY emotionally-charged one and it's also a big hint to Lokius
Chris Hemsworth's Thor is back for a short scene, and watching Loki interact with Mobius he understands that his brother is happy and has finally found the love he deserves
"We're in a time loop of our own" means something MUCH bigger than we understood at first
"Love is..." and the answer hints at something Loki and Mobius share so we understand the writers are implying theirs IS a love story, after all
We understand that the relationship between Loki and Mobius has always, surprisingly been the whole point of the whole show

Can you please make a comical incorrect quotes for Lady Loki attending to Y/N who is a son of Zeus and has cold and when sneezed lightning flew out, hit Thor (Chris Hemsworth Thor) and made his hair to stand up which made Love laugh really much?
Thor: dear sister, Love and I can come back later
Loki: oh no I swear it’s fine. My love just has a cold.
Y/N: sorry Thor (sneezes)
Lightning shoots out and zaps Thor, causing his hair to stand on end…
Love: Uncle Thor!! (Laughs)
Loki giggles…
Loki: wonderful shot my love
Loki kisses the top of Y/N’s head…

The Redbridge Hunts, Chapter 41
Tumblr media
So, let me get this straight. For a week, you went on a drunken, high, bender having sex with any female vampire that so much as glanced at you?’ Lucius asked in disbelief.
He and Chris were round at Loki’s the following day, so they could discuss it all and come up with a plan forward. Claire was there too.
‘Yes. I hypnotised them after, so they’d forget sleeping with me. Since they had partners, there was no point breaking them up for nothing.’ Chris shrugged.
‘Or so they’d forget how awful you were.’ Loki commented.
Chris hissed at him, but Lucius quickly put his hands up to his sons. ‘Don’t start.’ He said firmly.
‘So they have no idea the kids aren’t their partners?’ Lucius asked.
‘No. I’d rather keep it that way. I don’t want kids full stop, never mind the responsibility for them.’ Chris huffed.
‘Did you have any clue beforehand that they were your kids?’ Claire asked.
‘Nope. Didn’t think about it again.’ Chris shrugged. ‘Nice to know that I can breed strong, primal vampires though. Ones that have the natural instincts to hunt in their veins.’ He smirked a little.
‘Yeah but they’re foolish and killing themselves cause of it.’ Loki snapped.
Chris’ face turned serious again. ‘I never wanted that to happen.’ He said quietly. ‘I’m going to reach out to the other three I possibly think might be… and I’ll teach them sooner than later to hunt safely.’
‘No, just keep an eye on them and keep them out of trouble. Don’t go making them hunt, they might not even want to.’ Loki argued.
‘They have my blood in their veins, they’ll want to hunt.’ Chris said smugly.
‘Sorry Loki, Chris is right this time.’ Lucius sighed.
Chris just looked even more smug.
‘As long as you look out for them and don’t let the same thing happen to them.’ Loki said firmly.
‘Has there been any others that you’ve slept around with, that we should be worried about?’ Lucius asked Chris.
‘No. Not here, anyway. There’s been a few over the centuries around the world.’ Chris said honestly.
Lucius could understand that, though. When you’d been around for so long, it was impossible not to indulge in the pleasures. He was just surprised at the mass fucking week he had sixteen years ago with so many women.
‘Right. Well, let’s agree to keep this just between us. If the kids were to find out, it would only cause disruption for them and their home lives. There’s no point in doing that.’ Lucius said.
Thankfully, Loki agreed with that too. As much as he’d love for shit to hit the fan to cause trouble for Chris, he knew that wouldn’t be in the best interest of the kids. Of course, he had to try get a jab in though.
‘Shame. It would’ve been great to tell everyone on Saturday that the head master has been misbehaving.’ Loki smirked.
‘Well, you best record their reactions, since I won’t be there.’ Chris hissed at him.
‘What’s happening on Saturday?’ Lucius asked.
‘It’s Jessica’s birthday, so we’re going ice skating and out for lunch.’ Claire explained.
‘Ice skating?’ Lucius queried.
‘Jessica is great at it, she loves it.’ Loki said.
‘So do you.’ Lucius smiled at Loki.
‘I haven’t been in years, I am looking forward to it, actually.’ Loki chuckled.
‘On that note, I’m leaving.’ Chris huffed and rose from the sofa. As he headed out, he gave Bat a little scratch under the chin, she was lying on her scratching frame beside the door.
Loki relaxed more when he heard Chris leaving his home.
‘I wish we could banish him from the city.’ Loki grumbled.
‘Now, now, Loki. He’s still your brother.’ Lucius said softly.
‘He’s not my brother. He lost that privilege years ago.’ Loki huffed.
Claire and Lucius shared a gentle look with one another.
‘Well, I better be going too. Have fun on Saturday.’ He smiled as he stood up.
‘I’m dreading it. I can’t ice skate, I have no balance.’ Claire laughed.
‘In that case, definitely make sure you video it, Loki.’ Lucius chuckled.
‘Oh I will, don’t worry about that.’ Loki teased, getting a poke in his side from Claire.
‘Keep safe you two.’ Lucius waved to them as he headed out.
Bat reached out and swiped at his arm as he was about to leave without speaking to her. ‘Sorry, Bat. I’ll see you again soon.’ Lucius smiled at her and scratched behind her ear.
‘Gotta pay the Bat tax.’ Claire laughed.
-
‘Maybe I’ll just stay at the side and watch.’ Claire said as she looked up at Loki.
They were at the ice-skating rink for Jessica’s birthday, everyone was getting their hired skates on. Claire had hers on, but she was wary to even just stand up in them.
‘Aww come on, love. You’ll be fine. I bet you’ll surprise yourself.’ Loki smiled softly.
‘I’ll surprise myself by falling flat on my face as soon as I stand up.’ Claire said nervously as she sat forward on the bench and looked down at her skates. They were a lot bulkier than she had been expecting.
‘I’ll help you, love.’ Loki said softly as he reached his hand out towards her.
Claire took his hand and let him pull her up to her feet. She wobbled a little as she grabbed hold of him, but realised quickly it wasn’t actually that bad.
‘Ok… I can do this.’ She said as she started walking in them. It was as if someone had tied heavy weights to her feet, but she found she could actually walk in them. ‘This isn’t so bad.’
‘See, you need to have more confidence in yourself.’ Loki grinned at her as he held her hand and they walked to the rink.
Claire noticed that Jessica, Hannibal, Matt, Michael and Spencer walked straight on and skated off like it was nothing.
‘Oh god.’ Claire groaned. ‘You go ahead, Loks. I’ll just take my time getting on and use the wall.’
‘Are you sure?’ Loki frowned.
‘Yeah, just let me adjust for a few minutes. Go enjoy yourself. Then you can help me.’ Claire laughed.
‘Ok, just shout if you need me. I’ll keep an eye.’ Loki assured her and kissed the top of her head. He skated straight onto the rink and off towards the others.
‘It can’t be that difficult.’ Claire groaned to herself as she gripped the wall and then slowly eased herself down onto the ice. As soon as she was fully on the ice, she began slipping all over the place and clung to the wall as if her life depended on it.
‘AH SHIT!’ She heard from behind her.
She kept a tight hold of the wall as she looked over her shoulder, David had just come onto the ice too and was in the same position as she was. He was sliding all over the place and couldn’t get his legs to come under him as he grappled to get hold of the wall.
He was about to go down though, and Claire’s natural reaction was to reach out to try and help. Though as she reached out towards him, he instinctively reached for her too and grabbed her arm. As he went down, she could do nothing but fall with him. They both groaned as she landed half on top of him, legs and arms everywhere.
‘Fucking hell, that’s cold!’ David yelled as the ice under him began to seep through his clothes.
Loki and Hannibal skated over to help them, but Claire couldn’t stop laughing, which didn’t help. Loki struggled to get her back up to her feet, she was laughing so much, which made him laugh too in turn.
Hannibal struggled to get David up, so once Loki had Claire safely holding onto the wall again, he then helped Hannibal to get David up.
‘You’re welcome for breaking your fall.’ David teased at Claire when he got to the wall too, next to her.
‘Least you could do after taking me down with you!’ Claire laughed.
‘Maybe both of you should just keep a tight hold of the wall.’ Loki chuckled. ‘Just take your time, slowly go around and find your balance.’
‘Yeah, great tip.’ David scoffed at him.
Loki tried to give them some pointers, but their balance was just so shocking that they couldn’t get to grips with it. While the others skated round the place with ease and quickness, it took over twenty minutes for Claire and David to make it round the rink just once.
‘This is ridiculous.’ David huffed.
They tried to help one another, but it only ended up in them both falling over when they did. Loki did try taking Claire’s hands and have her skate away from the wall, holding onto him as he skated backwards and held her hands, but she almost ended up doing the splits at one point and nearly managed to take Loki down with her when she completely lost balance another time.
‘Honestly, Loki. Just have fun. Me and David will muddle along. If anything, we’re giving everyone a good laugh!’ Claire smiled at him.
Claire and David ended up back at the start. Claire noticed a small child go past them, with no bother because she was using an ice walker. Claire slowly turned her head to David, who had been looking at the child too. They both shared a knowing look with one another.
-
‘Hey vampy!’ Claire called to Loki. He was in the middle of the rink with Jessica, he turned his head and had to take a double take.
Claire and David went skating past him, both of them were using the children’s ice walkers for support, the walkers were penguins with handles which just made them look even more ridiculous.
Loki threw his head back with laughter, he watched with amusement as the two of them went around the rink a few times, beaming happily that they weren’t stuck to the wall anymore. Of course, the others had to tease them about it, but they just stuck their tongues out at them in return.
‘That is certainly the way to skate in style.’ Loki laughed as he skated next to Claire.
‘It’s quite fun actually.’ Claire laughed with him. ‘And I think I’m starting to get my balance.’
Loki gave her shoulder a squeeze and leaned in to kiss her temple. He knew she’d been so nervous about skating, but instead of just sitting it out at the side, she wanted to try and join in. She knew Loki enjoyed skating too, so she wanted to try and get the hang of it.
‘It’s march of the penguins!’ David called out as he picked up a little speed, then just glided down the rink with his arm stretched out ahead of him.
‘Oh my god.’ Jessica shook her head and laughed as she ran a hand down her face.
‘Biggest kid ever.’ Matt laughed.

You should make some general Thor headcanons since Marvel helped him become a popular god
okie i have some ideas.
i'll be real. marvel is what got me into norse mythology, and i find it super difficult to separate chris hemsworth's Thor from mythology Thor. so my hc's are pretty similar to that portrayal.
personality wise, i think Thor is generally a friendly guy. i mean, i dont think he makes friends as quickly as say, Freyr and Bragi, but deep down, he has a heart of gold and anyone who knows him, knows that this is true.
Thor doesn't really have any filter. he says exactly what he is thinking. he's call things as they are.
i think this makes his relationship with Loki very interesting. marvel has Loki and Thor as brothers, but in myth, that dynamic works better between Loki and Odin instead. so, my hc is that after Odin, i think Thor might interact with Loki the most largely because Loki is a *bit* scared of Thor.
Thor is superrrr strong. maybe the strongest in Asgard after Odin. his lightning is feared by everyone, as it should be. AND he has a temper to match.
with Thor, it's a short temper, but quicker placation. you can easily defuse his anger by apologising, or telling a joke, or acknowledging the situation. i don't think he holds on to troubles. so that's why with Loki, who perpetually sets everyone off, Thor tolerates Loki a lot because he just doesn't get angry for a long time. and once Loki has served his punishment for the crime of the day, Thor is satisfied... UNTIL of course Baldr's death which is simply too tragic to deserve any redemption.
now. as it has been said before, Thor isn't that smart. i think he's a bit all brawn and no brains. and that's ok. Asgard wouldn't want it any other way.
Sif is the love of Thor's life. i think he's always showering her with compliments and gifts.
i find it SUPER interesting that Sif has a son (Ullr) who is not fathered by Thor, while Thor has children Magni and Modi who are not mothered by Sif.
in all likelihood, Magni and Modi are products of extramarital affairs but i'm sick of having to write about gods and goddesses who cheat, so i hc that Magni and Modi, like Ullr, are products of previous marriages.
being warriors, and gods who are susceptible to death, it's completely possible that Thor and Sif's previous spouses/partners fell in battle... or perhaps even simply that they amicably left those partners because the relationship didn't work. idk,, i haven't thought about those details too hard just yet.
Sif has a GREAT relationship with her stepsons, and Thor has a GREAT relationship with his stepson.
i like the idea of Ullr being the eldest son. and i think he has gotten along with Thor from the start. Thor seems like a guy who wants a huge family, so having four kids i think is pretty good and natural for him.
Thor is a dad-joke kinda guy. and he also laughs at absolutely anything.
as i have mentioned before in my hc's with Frigg,, i believe Thor gets along with his stepmum very well. i think he has a lot of respect for hierarchy and power, and being a stepdad himself, i cannot imagine that he has a bone to pick with Frigg. it helps that Thor's own mother Jörð is treated well by Frigg and looked after by Odin too.
with Odin, i don't think Thor is that close. i hc Odin to spend a bit more time with the children of his who will take up important roles in his kingdom; for example, Baldr who is his heir, or Tyr and Freyja who would take charge of defense and war strategies, etc.
because Thor isn't all that bright, i don't think he that much responsibility in terms of organisation or management... he is simply a powerhouse who lends his aid when it's requested.
that's not to say that Thor and Odin don't like each other. they just have a different relationship. they are similar in terms of their personality, and i think Odin definitely would have given Thor instruction in the art of war, etc.
anyhow. amongst the rest of the gods, Thor gets along very well with Bragi. Thor loves music a lot, even if he sings offkey when drunk (which is most of the time).
he also enjoys spending time with Heimdallr. i think Heimdallr would tell Thor stories when he was a child that Thor later still recalls to tell his own children (Heimdallr is the eldest child).
strangely enough, i think Thor is one of the few gods who manages to break the ice (haha) with Skadi when she first comes to Asgard. because she's a hothead and Thor's a hothead and they're both super strong, i think they can go toe-to-toe with each other.
so yeah. there u go :)

really unorganized notes on religious symbolism, creativity vs rationality, other stuff, and bastard munchen (and a little bit of other stuff including the other teams)
if i had time i would probably find a way to link all these ideas under a proper unifying idea. unfortunately, i do not, so i'm just compiling all the stuff i've noticed here and hoping someone else will be able to write a proper analysis
michael kaiser, "michael" meaning "chosen by god", "kaiser" meaning emperor -> "michael kaiser" meaning "god's chosen emperor". "kaiser" is the german pronunciation of the latin name "caesar", used to refer to the leader of the holy roman empire
blue rose tattoo symbolizing "impossible", "non-existent" - "…it's a symbol of rebellion against God". even though it's supposed to be a symbol of rebellion against God, the roses are attached to thorns, and the thorns are attached to a crown (jesus's crown of thorns)
"T" in bastard munchen's logo resembles the crucifix
kaiser refers to kaiser impact as "execution", execution pose also resembles crucifix
german bastard munchen players have a "unified cross run"
expanding on the impossible, "let go of your ego, kunigami rensuke. become the impossible". kunigami experimented on to become the next noel noa - noel noa is the impossible. kaiser used to look up to noel noa, bears a lot of resemblance to noa (rivalry with physically unremarkable egoist from japan, rough upbringing, eyeliner, etc.)
kaiser attempts to diminish isagi's role to being a "clown", but isagi's role is also referred to as a knight/hero. either the knight slays the emperor and takes his place, or the emperor stomps out the resistance. isagi also diminishes kaiser's role by calling him a clown
isagi is "the new hero", kunigami is "the fallen hero". could possibly tie into chris prince being "the perfect hero"(?)
a lot of stuff about stages and scripts
unlike jesus, kaiser does not have loyal disciples. at best, there is ness. i think it would be really funny if ness betrays kaiser though.
ness whose creativity was stomped out in favour for science/logic as a child -> found magic again through football -> joined rational bastard munchen -> found kaiser, capable of making the impossible possible -> "I don't need your creativity"
the way creativity is handled by the other teams can also be a good point to contrast with. for example, creativity coming so naturally to the key players on fc barcha that it's hard to teach properly, creativity being something the manshine players are struggling with, etc.
expanding on the other team's links thematically:
julien loki is "god's speedster" (but the name loki also comes from the norse god, julien means son of jove)
snuffy is a messenger/angel (marc meaning mars, roman god of war. i have no clue if this was intentional but it's worth noting just in case it is). something something, snuffy + the phoenix, mick's death, giving lorenzo new life + zombie imagery... jesus' resurrection? (this might be a stretch but just in case it's not this is worth noting)
ego calls yukimiya delusional for blindly (haha [i'm sorry]) putting faith in god
noel noa initially criticizing isagi for not having a concrete plan to reach his goals, calls him irrational

Do you have any theories as to why Thor describes himself and Loki as both being eight in that snake story? That line always takes me out. I can't make it make sense. Thanks.
I really only have the one: Loki and Thor were raised as twins.
And the WAY that Frigga and Odin got away with THAT is. Ha.
I've got two ideas, (both of which I want to explore in more detail in a fic at some point):
Jotuns age a little faster than Asgardians, so Loki being 1053 is the same as being 1500 as an Aesir. Odin then lied to Loki about his actual birth date until Thor 1 and raised them as twins, Loki being the younger, but it was fine because BIOLOCIALLY they were about the same age anyway so the discrepancy was fine.
If this is what happened, then the Jotun/Asgardian war was about 400 years long and Thor and Frigga were hidden that entire time so Frigga could BS her way through a "Yes it was twins" without too much trouble. Who's going to counter it? The servants attending Frigga were sworn to secrecy and Loki was hidden from the public until he and Thor looked enough of the same age that it was passable. They blamed Loki's lack of public appearance on sickness instead of literal house arrest.
Could potentially explain why Loki feels perpetually locked up, because even if Loki was young, being hidden away as a kid constantly would be something that would impact you as an adult. Also give him major trust issues about his memories.
OR.
(and this is the one that I find much worse personally), but Loki and Thor were raised as twins. Loki does not age differently than Aesir. He is the equivalent of about 17-20 in Thor 1 and Thor is 20-24. Loki is told he is 20-24 and assumes that this must be true because it's not like he remembers to dispute it. Loki does not know that he is significantly biologically younger than Thor.
Again, Loki is kept from the public until he looks old enough to pass as Thor's twin brother, if sickly, and Asgard accepts this as fact.
Thor 1 happens. Loki then learns that he's Laufey's son and does some rapid math. He is not Thor's twin brother. In fact, he is about 400 years younger than he was told. If Loki and Thor were raised as twins, it would make them competing for the throne make a little more sense and Frigga and Odin hiding this from him just that much worse.
Anyway, so the point is that Thor doesn't always remember that, oh yeah, we are, uh, not the same age because he grew up with that habit and just said that because for most of their life, Thor and Loki thought they were the same age anyway.
----
That said, the ACTUAL reason this is in the movie is because:
Tumblr media
link to article
But this age discrepancy actually isn't Chris Hemsworth's fault, amazingly. To my knowledge, Loki and Thor were not actually confirmed to have any gap between them throughout the Thor films. That was something we as an audience just inferred. In fact, I've seen people do 1 year and 2 and 3. I typically do 4, to match the centuries between them. So like, it's kind of an iffy thing to begin with.
INFINTY WAR is actually where the inconsistencies start. Thor says "you know, I'm 1500 years old..." and then the entire audience is scrambling for an explanation. This is also the first movie that Hela is said to be Thor's half-sister. (As far as Ragnarok is concerned, from what I can remember, it has been a minute, she and Thor are full-blood siblings.)
The infinity War writers apparently didn't double-check any of this against Ragnarok, which is vaguely funny to me given that Infinity War opens with the aftermath of Ragnarok.
So the story's ages actually work perfectly fine in Ragnarok. It's after you watch Infinity War that things start to backpedal. Which fun fact, I joined MCU in like June of 2017 or something, so by the time I actually got around to writing fic and thinking about this, Infinity War had already come out so I just assumed that the lack of an age gap was ignorance on Ragnarok's fault. But Loki and Thor being twins makes the most sense to me, not just with Ragnarok, but a lot of other things add up in that direction as well.
(but i cannot trust MCU to stick to basic facts like how old a character is. Wanda has had the same problem, where they bumped up her age by 5-6 years for WandaVision (and retconned her and Pietro's origin story ). And Natasha. and Steve. And Bucky and-- oh my gosh someone please just write this down for the writers)

Can you please focus on Chris’ and Ben’s love lives and leave Tom alone. ZFC is a safe place for real fans to discuss their favorite actor and how miserable he’s been since 2018. Please stop with your nonsense about Zawe “never gonna be his wife” Ashton and her son. He’s miserable and has lost multiple roles including Bond because of this. His projects coming up are one film he’s barely going to be in and another that hasn’t even filmed yet. He’s networking like crazy because his star has faded since 2018. Avengers Infinity War was his last great project. The Loki series should’ve been better but the pandemic ruined it. He’s no longer in demand and his fans are dropping like flies. If you were really a fan from the first Thor film then you’d be pissed too but you’re not a real fan. This page is an embarrassment to real Tom fans. Please focus on other celebrities and leave Tom and ZFC alone.
I should be pissed Tom got engaged to a black woman and had a child with her? Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with you?
He didn't lose the Bond role. He never was in the running. Those were all rumors.
Tom's star hasn't faded. He's still very much respected in the industry. He's not miserable either. But you clearly are to write shit like this.
ZFC is a safe place to bash Tom and make snide remarks about his life and family. Something true fans don't do.
Real fans respect the decisions of their fav. They believe them when they say they're happy. They don't make demands or get angry when their fav doesn't act the way they want. You keep saying Tom doesn't get roles anymore. But when he does, you dismiss them because they're not what you would have chose for him. Loki was a critical and popular success. It is widely known as the best Marvel series.
So please, don't come to my blog telling me that I'm not a fan because I dare to call out the BS ZFC post. You clearly aren't a fan if you think so poorly of Tom.
