We Lonely Here Mostly Too

Oh, you are so sweet, Anon! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I hope you're having a good day too. <33333

I am indeed! It's not a secret, but I basically don't publicize it on the main account since this account is technically connected to my actual published writing. For those who don't know, I'm also Kyoko M., a self-published and hybrid author, so I run a side blog for the AO3 content. The other reason I say I don't hide it is because you can go back through the blog and see my account through the Harry Dresden/Karrin Murphy content that I posted, so like I said, it's not a secret; I just don't advertise it on this particular main blog. If you like my main content (MCU or Dresden Files), then you can follow the sideblog: @lokisbirdofhermes. No apologies needed! Thanks for popping in to say hi! <3

You have no idea how badly I needed to hear this today. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I always feel like an ugly piece of shit on Valentine's Day 'cause I'm always single, and this is the most well-timed kind comment in my inbox ever. Thank you so much for this and I truly hope you have a great evening. <333333

We'll see. I'm too cynical to think it'll happen, but I would like it if it did and I would like it more if they don't Fridge her in the 3rd movie like they did her brother.

I disagree too. I've never agreed with people who insist women become invalid if they have a love interest in an action oriented story. This relationship is very natural and it feels organic to these actors. I'm fine if she insists that the writers leave it platonic, but it's a disservice to some of the fans. It wouldn't be OOC for either of them to fall for each other, imo. But with her being open about not wanting romance, chances of it going Canon are unlikely. Most of the time, unless it's relevant to the plot, the actor can make that kind of call and we're stuck like Chuck writing fics. I hope she at least sees what good chemistry she has with Chris.

Oh, not the least bit surprised. There are actors who push for platonic male-female relationships and that's fine. Based on the movie's tone and the fact that it's still difficult for studios (and actors) to accept a handsome white lead and a WOC, I'm more than sure Nik and Tyler won't become canon. It's not about that in this work of fiction. It's probably just gonna be subtext and sexual tension. And we'll be damn lucky if she doesn't die in the 3rd movie. 😒

Her fucking crusade caused her to torture someone. On purpose. With full knowledge of what it would do to her. I don't wanna hear shit from her fans about what a "hero" she is for standing up against the TVA. Two wrongs don't make a fucking right. It's no different from Loki's constant betrayal and murder attempts at Thor and Odin; yes, they did you wrong, but committing genocide and rejecting Thor's obvious love for you isn't gonna make you feel better or right the wrongs that were done to you. Loki's arc is about moving past his own bullshit and seeing that he was a worthy man all along and he could be more than the villain he thought he was. The series just shit all over any potential for him to learn or grow or even just survive through the TVA's bullshit as well as hers. She did nothing but abuse him the entire time. That's not "uwu enemies to lovers", no, that's someone with fucking Stockholm Syndrome. Nothing about their interactions was likable, organic, or true to his character. I personally don't even consider this version of him to be a real Loki. His reactions from episode two onward were OOC, imo.

I truly believe that Loki is capable of love. We've seen that he is from everything prior to this bullshit series. And it's sad that we're never going to get an in-character Loki with a love story that he deserves. We deserve to see him in a romantic relationship where he is respected and treasured and challenged, like any good romance. I think that's the biggest insult of all with the Loki series--that we had a chance to see Loki in a capacity we haven't seen before and they completely botched it with this abusive bat-faced shrew bitch. There is no love between them; just bad writing. God help us all when season two comes out and we have to sit through another deluge of delusional fangirls insisting Mary Sue Sylvie is a girlboss and Loki is her malewife. Gag me with a chainsaw.

I don't know how it sounded like the right call to make. Other fans have pointed out how in No Way Home, the Peter brigade immediately identified each other as brothers, so why did someone pitch Loki falling in love with himself with a straight damn face and that's what was cut and print for the show? It's ludicrous. And it's somehow made so much worse by the actress they chose; I really think Hiddleston acted circles around her, so it was bad enough on the page, but the execution was even worse. No one bought her as the "better" version of him. Better at what? Being sack-crushingly annoying? Being unsympathetic, short-sighted, and selfish? It's so unwarranted and unnecessary, but since we're the only ones critical of it, I guess it's just fucking fine and we're the outliers here.

Oh, I knew from how the first season went that they weren't going to course correct in season two and would instead double down on the foolishness and OOC writing. After all, as infuriating as it is, we're the minority. The whole rest of the audience watching season one were fine with the bullshit writing and because they could project themselves onto the Space Karen and feel "included" since they made Loki like her for no goddamn reason. I'm not watching it and I don't acknowledge the show at all at this point. To quote Brooklyn 99, "You're not [Loki]. You're just some common bitch."

I hate that I have to hate this show, but they didn't make this show for me. We KNOW who this show was made for and since that demographic is irrationally pleased with this shit writing, I'm not wasting energy wringing my hands over it. I have my Loki. I have the REAL Loki. And his arc is satisfying and complete, so I'll just continue writing fanfiction and ignore the series. They can do whatever they want; it's no longer my concern. I'm glad Tom is working and getting paid and getting all the love he deserves. Even though I hate this show, I'm glad he's being admired for the spectacular actor that he is, even when he's doing material that I think is beneath him. As long as he's happy, then there is at least something good to take away from this literal godforsaken mess.

But do hit me up if you find out Sylvie dies at the end. I'd watch that. I'd rewind it 1000x, in fact.

Oh, okay. I get it. Sylvie has exactly two settings: self-righteous entitled anger and smug arrogance. And yet people wonder why I can't stand her sorry ass.

Forced is the exact word. Nothing about that "romance" made any sense. Nothing about it indicated any chemistry between them. I mean, that entire episode had them fighting like cats and dogs and not in the flirtatious way we've seen before in plenty of other examples (ex. Tony and Pepper or Quill and Gamora). The entire time I was stuck watching them on that planet, I interpreted it as a bratty little sister and an irritated older brother. There was no sexual tension and she showed nothing but contempt for him up until that point. She even said after she arrived at the end of time that Loki was probably dead and it didn't matter. Their entire interaction was just her insulting him and using him where appropriate. There was no reason for Loki to get attached to her since all she did was antagonize him and get in his way. Loki shouldn't have had any feelings aside from annoyance. We've seen him build far more believable attachments to other characters in the MCU. I'd believe him and Mobius before him and Sylvie, for fuck's sake. At least he and Mobius had legitimate soul-searching conversations about Loki's life and his behavior.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure who that is? Could you elaborate a little bit for me?
