Lokius took My Soul

[lokius-took-my-soul]

Sometimes I think about how we would have reacted to the Loki series now if someone had told us about it in 2012 after the first Avengers or maybe even after Dark World. I know Loki got shipped with literally everyone (and everything from the tesseract to magical clones of Loki himself and beyond) and there were all shipping wars and popular ships but what we got was not something most people expected for the two closest ships to cannon being basically fem Loki or a little human who’s just some average guy who happened to get involved in things much larger than himself.

I just imagine telling someone that Loki would fix his hair look a school girl and hug and clutch at a little office worker man who is also Owen Wilson. That he’d actually listen to some random human dude and have multiple people call him that human’s pet and not entirely disprove it. That he’d walk around an amusement park and apparently ride a tandem bike with this guy. Or that he’d make human friends. Or that he would end up as a tree.

The kickstarter has one week for late pledges and it is gettingclose to unlocking the falconry stretch goal! We have our chubby little Mongolian horses and we'll be getting Tekes and Ferghanas but I need a pretty Mongolian Eagle to hunt with! Honestly now that I'm thinking about it falconry would make a cool KCD2 DLC!

[lokius-took-my-soul]

I’m Lowkey scared about Loki reappearing. I want him out of the damn tree but at the same time I’m worried about what will happen to him now. His ending was sad but poignant. I really hope Mobius shows up too but am also concerned about something happening to him…. It would be an easy motivator to hurt/kill Mobius to get Loki to do something.

LOKI S2 EP6 SPOILERS!

Just so we're all on the same page

Mobius is in Loki's spot.

He's in the place he stood when Mobius dragged him away and talked to him in this hall. He's in the spot Loki stood in ep5 where he fixed his hair and jacket before going to talk to 'Don'. He's taken off his jacket the same way Loki always does. He's trying to fill the void where he cannot and is instead missing not only Loki, but himself.

God damn it

[biusxstuff]

Has this been done yet?

[lokius-took-my-soul]

No but look at them. Sylvie is worried and runs off but Mobius is frozen and horrified. Mobius is the Loki expert. He knows the last time Loki said those words was when he let go and fell from the Bifrost. Mobius knows then that Loki isn’t coming back and just look at him and look at his eyes. Loki knew those words had meaning to only two of them, and those are the ones he chose as his farewell.

[lokius-took-my-soul]

So going over the last episode.

We have Mobius being the one to ask Loki if he’s okay. Everyone else noticed something is weird but he’s the one that asks. And then when Loki starts being extremely weird it’s Mobius that grabs him by the shirt and is like “what the fuck?” (Except is Disney so he can’t say it).

Then Mobius is with Sylvie in that one “For you” shot that has plausible deniability.

Then afterward it’s Mobius that looks absolutely miserable. Look at Mr. stress eater is just holding a cup of coffee listlessly. B-15 checks on him but she’s so gentle like she knows his heart is broken. It’s Mobius who is depressed on the timeline while Sylvie looks fine. (In fairness to her she is not as prone to show emotions but she’s definitely seemed more upset throughout the show.)

In the end it’s a Mobius who waits and a Loki who remains. Hopefully Deadpool 3 helps- since Mobius is supposed to show up.

I also just imagine Tom calling Feige and being like- how gay can are we allowed to make this? “Okay fine we can’t say it explicitly but can we have them obviously pining for one another?”

[lokius-took-my-soul]

I don’t know what to say other than that was pining at the end.

[lokius-took-my-soul]

My new eleventh hour conspiracy theory is that as the God of Stories future Loki made the realities for his friends.

I mean you have Casey use the “I’ll gut you like a fish line” that Loki said to him. Why is he a criminal? I don’t really know other than maybe it wasn’t a conscious decision and Loki remembered his whole drawer of infinity stones. Also Loki would find it hilarious.

B-15 I’m not sure in other than she’s been level-headed and damn good at dealing with shenanigans.

Now think about OB’s workshop thing that looks exactly like his room at the TVA. Why? Why would the TVA look like OB’s workshop in the timeline.

And then there’s Mobius. Mobius who has his jet skis and two sons that are very much like another pair of brothers. And who is also conveniently single. I mean fair enough that Mobius could have a type but even so why would he have kids that are just like Loki and Thor? (No I don’t buy that he’s an Odin variant- he’s just way too passive and calm for that).

Wouldn’t the TVA have pruned the timelines of all its workers just like the other variants of the goal was to prevent a nexus event?

[lokius-took-my-soul]

But what did he mean?????

[lokius-took-my-soul]

I’m spiraling because right now the thing I want to see is Loki feeding Mobius grapes. No but seriously- Mobius is a food guy and has given Loki candy, pie, and Cracker Jacks (and tried to have drinks with him several times) so it’s Lokis turn.

Just imagine that they end up on Asgard in a different timeline and Loki sees some fruits and nuts and then immediately decides Mobius has to try them. And he keeps trying to pick out the best pieces and then gives them to Mobius. And Mobius is torn between dying of laughter because an actual god and prince is feeding him likes he’s a Roman emperor and is taking it incredibly seriously (Loki is getting very aggravated if the fruit he finds is not 100% perfect and starts going on about the color being off despite Mobius protesting that it’s fine) and also being extremely touched that Loki cares so much and is trying to show it with his own love language.

So yes grapes. Or other fruits and nuts. (These two are destroying me)

[lokius-took-my-soul]

My new crackpot theory is that Mobius looked at his timeline.

He looked sometime around the start of season 2. Since the beginning of this season Mobius has been a bit less motivated, he’s kinda goofing off, and he’s always trying to get food or drinks. Not quite the sharp minded analyst he was (I mean really- Brad running should not have been a surprise). Which could easily be explained off as coping from the trauma of learning everything was a lie and they’ve been pruning innocent people for nothing.

However:

We have a Don. Don who is a bit like Mobius but who doesn’t seem as in control. Who offers Loki drinks before knowing him. Who’s not as sharp because he hasn’t needed to be. He’s a single dad who sells jetskis not an analyst who’s been doing his job for a millenia or so. He doesn’t seem very happy either with his jet ski shop or his home life. He seems more stressed than anything.

It’s almost as though Don’s life is bleeding through to Mobius. Mobius said he didn’t care if it was bad but he didn’t want “something good rattling around in there” but what if it already was? What if it was a “good life” but not one he likes, not a life he wants. What if that’s the reason he got so upset with Brad, the reason he shut down with Sylvie. Because he already looked and he still wants to stay at the TVA. They say his life is not real but it feels real to him. Not just until the crisis has passed, but indefinitely. He likes what he does and doesn’t feel like Don but his memories are still there and he feels guilt over “abandoning” the kids by not returning. Kids he has only around 11 years of memories of compared to a thousand or so at the TVA.

On top of that everyone seems to think that the best thing to do is to go back to their timelines- they all want to back to where they came from. So Mobius feels worse and just claims he hasn’t looked at his. It’s why he got so aggravated with Loki too, because he wants to stay with Loki and he doesn’t want to go back, but Loki is trying to help and doesn’t realize that Mobius has already decided. And of course when Loki sees Don and his life he decides that Möbius is not coming back. The classic “If you idiots would just talk to one another” trope.
