tbh, i think the whole thought process behind how sylvie is written is that she is not attached to loki and her happiness doesn't at all depend on him in any way.

was their connection deep? did he impact her? "shatter" her world even? yes. this is why she is so angry at him. bc in her mind, he had betrayed her.

but he doesn't take up much more space in her mind. she goes on to live her life just fine without him at the end of both seasons.

loki is a different story, he is obsessed with her to the point of doing something completely "out of character" and being ready to sacrifice everything for her.

i personally love how "unequal" their relationship is in this way, but i understand that it's not the majority of shippers' cup of tea kind of dynamic.

this is an interesting interpretation! i enjoy getting to hear people's differing takes on their dynamic, so this was a fun read. and hey if unrequited is your trope then all the more power to you. you're braver than me, that's for sure.

i haven't rewatched s2 (and tbh idk if i ever will- it just didn't do it for me the way i wanted it to) but the consensus that "loki fell first and harder" def seems supported by s1 and enhanced by s2. which i think made it all the more shocking when she kisses him first. i love that little detail.

i have a different take, which is informed by episode 5- particularly the bar scene contrasted with the record shop scene. she tells him to go and live his life and move on, then immediately goes to a record shop, tells the man at the counter she had a bad day, and then cries to the velvet underground (it looked like crying, also possible she was just laying there and basking it all in, which is just as compelling in my opinion).

to me that read as someone who is trying so hard to place their feelings in a convenient little box and ignore them and then running away when it doesn't work.

sylvie doesn't strike me as someone who can sit still, especially not after living through a million apocalypses and trying to ensure her survival. and while getting a job in oklahoma might not be the same frantic pace she's used to, i do think she threw herself into it (employee of the month placard i'm looking at you!) so she has a new life, a new job, time to do things like go to the bar and get a haircut and listen to music and do everything possible to just. not. process. the annoying feelings that the citadel situation brings up. just keep moving! just don't think about it! and so when loki rolls up at her work, she tries to push him away, tell him he's the last thing she wants to deal with, get him to leave. the tone in the bar scene felt like that to me as well. like she's saying just leave me so i can stop thinking about this.

of course, loki does not want to leave her- it's just that for some reason he is physically incapable of talking about anything but the TVA, who ruined her life and she justifiably wants nothing to do with hearing about how great they actually are. he is pretty skilled at killing the mood. (i take great pleasure in rewrite fics that make a show of addressing this)

am i blinded by shipping goggles and my own projection onto her? it's possible! but to me it read as someone in denial. when we hear sylvie talk about her love life on the train in s1 (a scene i LOVE because it seems so out of left field for her) we get a very clear sense she has no idea what she is doing when it comes to romance (and then flat out says so during the blanket scene). her experience with romance hasn't been anything real, to the point where i hesitate to even use the term "romance"- just centuries of numbing herself by staying busy with a fling. she is like a shark that will just collapse if she stops moving. which we get to see her do in the record store!

that's just how i read it though! your read on it is just as valid and i like hearing all of the different takes. i am by no means trying to persuade you to join my pining sylvie agenda, just using this blog as a means of idea exchange. which i love doing. seriously it's so fun.

Say hello to my deathpuss kid I made out of impulse just a couple days ago

His name is Leuka, short for a longer name. He probably goes by other names too as he's been around for a while (thats just my excuse for how indecisive i am)

He's with Death a lot, helping out in either guiding and reaping runaway souls.

He's still pretty young, and Death's duty isn't pretty or simple, so he has to guide the kid a lot. It's a slow progress, but he's learning and making his own rather... unique decisions.

And just for fun, we made a spiderverse-esque crossover of all the kids on discord ekkckekc

The young prince Damian Wayne was raised to be the heir to the fearsome League of Assassins -to follow in the footsteps of his deadly mother, Talia, and the Demon's Head himself, his grandfather Ra's al Ghul. But everything changed when his father, the Batman, reclaimed him and brought him back to Gotham City. As Robin, young Damian suddenly discovered he was merely one of a number of princes, preceded in the role by his "brothers" Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin...and Damian doesn't care to be merely anything. But when his father is forced to leave the city on urgent business, and a rash of abductions is accompanied by whispers of a demon stalking Gotham's dark alleys, Damian will find himself battling alongside his adoptive brothers- and in the process, learning what the mantle of Robin really means!

Can I buy the pattern from u if I promy not to repost for the balloon doggie? It's so cute. I assume it's ur pattern is why I ask obvs. Omg urs is so cute how much r u selling it for? Is it an amigurumi?

I wish I made this pattern because it’s so amazing! I got to get better with sharing patterns of what I make. Anyways you can find the pattern here and it’s completely free! It’s by Gloria B on ravelry. All I’ve done is used color changing yarn because it keeps the project fun for me.

It is amigurumi! I haven’t learned how to knit😅 and yes I sell a variety of queer balloon dogs in different sexualities and identities. I sell them for $25 each! I also have teddy bears in more colors (I’m trying to make more balloon dog colors to sell.) For these you can check out my Etsy.

hi. do we know why Sylvie's crown miss one horn? (I watched the show recently and never been in fandom)

hello! welcome i hope you enjoy your stay here <3

we do not know what happened to sylvie’s horns, but given that we see her use them as a weapon in s1 i would guess it fell off in battle!

sidenote: a few weeks ago one of those big MCU accounts on twitter asked this question and it got like a thousand replies that all said “it broke”. i just spent a half hour trying to find the thread but couldn’t- does anyone have it? because it was SO funny to me but i can’t find it anywhere. it broke.

I don’t know if it helps, but there was a entire room in the tower dedicated to being made just out of bacon. Which is slightly disturbing when you consider that there was entire section of the tower that was dedicated to a city of pigs. Are the walls made of flesh or are the pigs made of wall?????

" ...I wouldn't know anything about that. "

" You guys make less and less sense sometimes. "

" ..I think I feel a lot safer about this whole thing. "

" I'm.. Not sure what the secret eyes or this 'secret king' you guys are talking about are, but you guys have made this infinitely easier to digest. I'm.. Grateful. Really. "

" I think for now.. I'm gonna head to bed. I just needed someone to talk to really quick. Thank you- again. "

" I'll see you all in the morning! "

( ...Pizazz heads back inside and the door shuts behind her. You feel accomplished. )

LOVELY NEMO. May I please request a Valentine’s love letter from my beloved Jean? It can be sfw (maybe a touch of spice, if you want to let him get a little carried away). This is so sweet, thank you for doing this!!

LOVELY JUNE. Thank you so much for sending this in - have fun with our Jeanbo <3

To June, 

I hope you like the portrait. I’ve been working on it for months, making sure you look just the same on page as you look to me. You’ll probably disagree, say it’s nothing like you. But I’d disagree too - in fact I still think it’s not good enough. 

Nothing could capture how beautiful you are, myself least of all. 

I hope I’m not overwhelming you, I know I haven’t said anything before and comments I did make probably went over your head. A drawing was the best way I knew how to confess how I feel. I still hope it’s not too forward, and I hope even more that you feel the same way. 

I guess I’m too much of a coward to say how much I love you in person in case you didn’t feel the same, but you deserve to know anyway. The prettiest person I’ve ever seen is owed that much. 

And god, I literally haven’t seen another human being in the whole world who makes me feel how you do just from the way you look. Can you imagine how I felt when I got to know you? To be close enough to you to call you a friend? I could be called obsessed if it wasn’t so creepy - but I almost am (obsessed, not creepy) with how much I adore you. 

No matter how you respond, my heart is in your hands and to have it broken by you would be a privilege - to have the love returned would be an honor I’d be willing to keep earning every day for the rest of my life. 

I hope when I see you again that you’ll let me tell you how I feel properly. That you’ll let me show you how much I love you. 

Jean.

[can-of-pringles]

who did your OCs look up to as a child? Any celebrities/historical figures, or people from their own lives?

Probably not going to answer for all my OCs since it's a hassle and I'm not feeling good, but I think I can give a few good examples.

Both my centaur OCs, Juni and Lilah probably had famous athlete centaurs they looked up to, especially Lilah being obsessed with racing and sports in general as a kid up to now.

Marigold has always admired and looked up to her father. Eventually learning how much he had to work to make sure his family lived a good life. (Don't get me wrong she also admired her mother for similar reasons, both parents, but especially her father. Honestly, I feel like the workaholic tendencies Marigold has are probably from her father...)

And it's no secret how much Rosie looked up to her own parents. Wanting to be superheroes just like them.
