it's iliad with one L and odyssey with one D btw. this is difficult to remember because multiple Ls were taken in the iliad and there's definitely more than one D present in the odyssey so i do understand the confusion

Look, I personally lose nothing if Lokius doesn’t become explicit canon. And if that were to become the case, I’d also have no regrets for saying for years that that would happen in the show by the end ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve said it before, but by now it would be Disney/Marvel’s loss, NOT mine. Whoever wasted or limited the potential would be the idiot, not me.

I’m simply never gonna feel crazy for noticing what’s happening in a story or silly for daring to hope it’ll be brought to fully satisfying narrative completion. That's just a me thing. Maybe this is because at heart I’m stubborn! But I’d like to think I’m not unreasonable. I can’t control whether writing stays consistent or censorship is overcome... But I just do my best to construct solid arguments, and as long as those arguments remain solid, I stand by them :)

I know not everyone would say the same, or they consider this to be "hope" or "optimism," but I see it as logic based in noticing what the text of a show/story is doing. And personally I also consider blatantly evident subtext to be "canon enough," so if we get my personal minimum, my happiness may still outweigh any potential disappointment for me.

However. Here's what I've come here to say today, in reaction to things I've seen floating around in the fandom:

While I do understand on some level why people worry that Lokius won’t be more explicitly canonically romantic because it could be censored by Disney.... At this point, I don’t understand how people can think Loki/Sylvie will still happen.

As of right now, there’s no way to argue for that in my opinion. (I'd like to see someone try.)

The show has set up a fun but very simple situation from basically the start:

They made romantic love a point of relevance in the show’s story. More specifically, they pointed out Loki's desire for a "real" romantic love, and had him learn the lesson that he doesn't deserve to be alone. They didn't HAVE to do all of those things and tie them together. They CHOSE to make romantic love relevant – and they have actively continued to choose to do that, to the point of including a mirrored dark love triangle in s2 ep3. That narrative thread simply has to be fulfilled.

So if they deliberately established that Loki wants and needs a “real” love, and his relationship with Sylvie was referred to as "fiction" so she cannot be a real love for him.... Who does it have to be?

Obviously it has to be Mobius. And of course, the whole show points to Lokius also, for countless more reasons than just this simple breakdown. But pointing this element out is the simplest argument one can make.

So either...

1. They take Lokius to full narrative completion with explicit canon, as they should and as I expect them to,

or

2. Loki's desire for a real love is left unfulfilled, open-ended, and/or made clear through subtext that it's Mobius.

Those are the options, if you ask me!

This is aside from how Lokius’ love story is now even at the core of the show’s themes and plot, which is an insanely strong vote in favor for their future canonicity.

But for the purposes of this post, I’m talking about whether we'll get explicit romance specifically, like a love confession or a kiss – and I do actually genuinely think we'll get both of those things. I'm not trying to force you to agree with me, but just to be clear, that's where I'm at with it and have been since 2021 lol.

So in regards to worrying about Loki/Sylvie...

They were never really a romance (yes, even in season 1) and they sure as hell aren't now. I can’t imagine they'll become one even IF Lokius is left subtextual.

So what actually remains to be seen is if the writers got to go all the way with Lokius, or if that central queer love story was censored on some level in the end.

My hot take is no one should be ~worrying~ about Sylki at this stage of the game. Free yourselves, people.

If the story starts abruptly going in a Sylki direction, even with only 3 episodes left, I will certainly be the first to say so lol. But I simply sincerely, truly doubt that'll happen.

(Hot take in the footer: this is not the post to get into this at length, but in case this comes up… In this house we do not use the word "queerbaiting." It is a useless, nearly-meaningless, insufferable term that devalues the legitimacy of subtext and queercoding more often than not; it's rooted in the idea that media must hit arbitrary and inconsistent checklists often set with cishet approval in mind; and it perpetuates a focus on the false and harmful myth that many creators are "cowards" instead of leaving room for nuance and the fact that industry censorship still exists.)

Taught one of my teachers, who's very interested in fandom (but completely green in the topic), how to use AO3. I hope she'll have fun. 💜

ive discovered a new spectrum of character based on my two most recent interests also everyone is free to add to the spectrum but anyone who attempts to correct me gets their eyeballs stolen

(small text: *achilles’ hair colour is described as ‘xanthos’ which isn’t necessarily strictly blond but is frequently used in reference to things that are golden or yellow but could easily describe a range of other visual experiences also it’s very complicated but for the sake ofthis meme he’s blond and we’re all going to accept it and not attempt to explain it to me in the comments. im glad we all agree)

[carlyraejepsans]

biscia, how would you recommend starting commissions off because i would also like to acquire money for the thing ive done for free for like the last 16 years as a hobby and maybe 6ish years seriously

i say just go for it! I had a headstart because I've been chittering and howling about this game for over a year and quite a lot of people already follow me around to hit me with sticks about it, so an audience was guaranteed, but we all gotta start from somewhere. i know you also draw, but if it's voice acting you're referring to here you could definitely make it, your super mario related impressions are phenomenal

I watched the Worldwide Big Time Rush episode so I think it would be really cool if established SKK singer Dazai x actor Chuuya AU where Chuuya gets the offer for a three part blockbuster movie, but it’s on the other side of the world so they won’t see each other for 3 years.

Listen I need Chuuya to lie and say he can’t get out of his current contract, so he’ll stay with Dazai where they are right now and I need Dazai to find out Chuuya is a fucking liar, so he acts like the worst boyfriend ever to make Chuuya break up with him.

And Chuuya does at first because he’s hurt and angry, but then he realizes that Dazai is a fucking idiot and did it on purpose, so they have an actual talk and I really need Dazai to say, “Chuuya, a chance like this only comes once in a lifetime.”

Just for Chuuya to reply with tears in his eyes, “Maybe you only come once in a lifetime.”

lloyd hampter compilation part one

panels where lloyd has puffy cheeks or just a very squishy, pinchable face,,, below the cut!

this will be updated as the webtoon continues :) enjoy!!!

early webtoon lloyd! his hair looks so different...!

y'know i don't think he needed to puff his cheeks to hold his breath but he did anyway and i think that's very sweet

munch munch... the panels where he's eating are my favorite i think!

suho cameo hi suho :)

i actually nearly missed this one because it was so tiny. he's so little...

when i saw alicia do this i immediately thought of those gifs of people rolling hamsters around in their hands...

this one is another favorite of mine hehe :3 he just looks so contemplative here while munching on whatever that meat is...

something i noticed when i got to these panels is that lloyd jumps like a modern trackrunner that's hurdling, while javier jumps like... ok idk what kind of jump that is, but it's very protagonist-like lol i think that's fun!

fellas is it gay to save your knight by giving him your mana

i almost didn't include the left panel below. like lloyd i love you but man this is a Terrifying Look please don't ever nearly drown again. but i have to include it, to commit to the bit...
