Maybe... maybe I really do just have the hots for the edgy version of 2012 version of Loki I’m never getting back. Maybe that’s the source of all of these problems.

Some of the 2010s-era Loki stans were annoying but some of them were very justified. They put Tom Hiddleston in handcuffs and a muzzle. Then they put him in chains and a collar. Then they had him look waifishly sad in a prison cell. Then they put him in handcuffs again. Then they chained him up again. Where else were teenage girls going to see that.

idkkkk not as mad at the interrogation scene as I could have been but I think I just hate interrogation scenes and the ways they are consistently used in movies. I'm so sick of watching someone try to get information out of someone else just to immediately let that someone get to them and reveal Deep Seated Insecurities or something. Can you not just interrogate a person for once. This is my least favourite way of having a character snap and admit they care about something is all. I can't stand it.

But really. They just keep fucking making choices that are not "bad" by any objective measure but are just exactly what I don't want to see and it kills me to have THIS be my long awaited Loki media. This was not made for me. I know this. It sucks

[loki-derangement]

oh no not the "I was following you" why do they keep winning me back

[loki-derangement]

idk man its like. i know i haven't even finished the scene. they can pull it back. but i have such negative faith in this show that every time they teeter around the most clumsy redemption arc ive ever seen i just ughhhhhhhhhh

[loki-derangement]

eugh i closed it in the middle of brad's speech I can't watch this He Would Not React That Way ughhhhh

[loki-derangement]

this is such first year engineering trying to work an arduino for your group project vibes honesty

[loki-derangement]

Is this the most Loki has been allowed to do magic in this whole series lol im just thinking damn where was that before

[loki-derangement]

It's like well. You’re going to be really mad at Loki in 2-3 episodes. Aren’t you going to regret your passionate defence? No! This is the whole point! I want shows to make me feel things and the safety of knowing exactly what is going to happen completely ruins that effect. Lokius bait (still think that’s the wrong word’ makes me so happy because the possibilities aren’t so painfully boringly fixed.

[loki-derangement]

I mean it’s nice to be right. I get that. It’s nice to have that moment of oh my god those signals I was picking up actually meant something and I am not crazy the way everyone said. But you want that NOW? What? That's not even a victory. That hasn’t been earned. Stories are about the journey not the conclusion at the end. That’s why I’m watching a television series and not just reading up on how it ended. Some people like that. Fine. But I find it hard to believe that those people are nearly as numerous as the ones who genuinely believe they should confirm or deny Loki and Mobius’s every plot arc right now.

You think that if every show advertised intent to smush two men together at the first sign of chemistry that that would be fun? That’s how straight couples are. It’s so annoying. Where on earth is the suspense. And part of that suspense IS losing. You cannot always win. The point is that you still have to believe that they won’t, to be elated when sometimes they do.

[loki-derangement]

The other thing about lokius is that people can’t seem to handle uncertainty these days. Everything is always “is it canon” “is it intended to be canon” “will this be canon” “give me the whole planned arc of these two characters immediately otherwise I’m going to be upset” and well sue me for enjoying not knowing? “Queerbait” (I don't think it is) is one of the only proper methods of not spoiling the audience of your intentions. Make me believe it won’t happen. Cultivate that incessant nagging voice that keeps wondering “what if....?” It’s FUN.

[mazikeenthegreatest]

but no, guys, marvel has the chance to do the funniest thing ever, what if they surprise us this time

[loki-derangement]

Ultimately I agree with the take that anyone who seriously thinks what Loki needs right now is to be in a relationship is utterly insane. BUT. Lokius has such exquisite “weird homoerotic friendship you spend years dancing in and out of while trying to figure yourself out” potential. I don't want them to kiss. I don't want them to not ever kiss. I just think what they have right now is very fun as someone who may or may not have such previous experiences

[loki-derangement]

This literally could have been such a fucking great dynamic. I stand by it. You can fix almost all of the most annoying parts of Loki S01 by realising that what Loki really needs is a version of himself he can forgive.

[loki-derangement]

Me, delusional: 🕯️🕯️🕯️ it's not too late for the phenomenal self acceptance through the other Sylvie & Loki plot that I dreamed up in my mind 🕯️🕯️🕯️ it's not too late to go down the oops that kiss was a little awkward let's figure this one out path 🕯️🕯️🕯️

[loki-derangement]

Like I'm still sad about The Loki Costume being Sylvie's instead but at least they had the decency to make him look like this. This IS a good look.

[loki-derangement]

The amount of touching in that episode made me violently ill btw. Just in case it wasn't obvious. You cannot take my gay ass to Loki bait of all things and expect me to be normal.
