Okay something is bothering me re: #Loki & Lokius & I need to write it out.

It actually is, like, actively insane that we have a CANONICALLY QUEER character & STILL have to include caveats/disclaimers in our minds & on media analysis because we can never just... trust a story.
+
?!?!? Loki is BISEXUAL! & yet we can’t say with confidence, though all signs point to it, that Lokius will happen or be given breathing room.

Why? Because we have been conditioned to think that at the end of the day there is ALWAYS somehow a catch when it comes to queer content.
It doesn’t even fully make sense to think this way! WHY THE FUCK WOULD DISNEY ALLOW BI LOKI BUT NOT ALLOW M/M ROMANCE? What kind of piecemeal homophobic corporate logic would that be?
“Out of sight, out of mind” queerness?
The bitch of it all is it isn’t impossible to imagine.
& I guess my only point, if I have one, is that it’s absurd. It’s fucking absurd that this is how it is. We can have a canon queer character, a subtextual love story, & STILL feel the need to be like “eh but they probably aren’t ACTUALLY doing it.”

Because no one wants “hope.”
If by some miraculous occurrence the impossible happens & Lokius “goes canon” (or really, is just allowed to breathe & be openly evident even if there isn’t a grand gesture), I want a think piece about how thoroughly broken queer fans’ trust in media is—if it ever existed at all.
Because the story sure seems very clear, & yet we’re still doubting, because we can’t afford not to, even WITH canon bi #Loki. It’s a defense mechanism & protecting each other.

& that’s so beyond indicative of a wider issue that it isn’t even funny.

Absolutely fucking absurd.

if Loki ends with bringing the Lokius love story to the forefront in any capacity the way I suspect, I’m not going to be able to handle it when I go to rewatch all 6 ep in order because AS IT IS I think about the arc so far or glimpse previous clips & get flattened with emotions
my secret is I try to stay very analytical because otherwise I will think of how poetic this cinema is and just end up being like

if anything happens I will live tweet a complete rewatch and let myself loose
this is a promise

in an unplanned turn of events I’m about to watch Ocean’s Eleven for the first time with my family, and I am very excited to beam this criminal homoeroticism directly into my eyeballs
very intense eye contact happening between Brad Pitt and George Clooney at the very start here

their characters have definitely fucked before and I say good for them actually

OOOOO. EPISODE 4, BAYBEE. I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE, PUN INTENDED.

Are Loki & #Sylvie in love, & #Mobius knows it? Is Sylki canon? What happened to #Lokius? Yada yada yada, I've got my thoughts & I'm here to break them down for you.

This is (still) a love story.

Firstly, in case you're new here, below is the "previously on" edition of Char Writes Long Loki Meta. I suggest reading it now if you haven't before, though obviously I'm not your boss. But it's your prerequisite for understanding why this is a love story!
Here we go.
So I feel as if there are 2 ~big themes~ going on in regards to Loki's growth when it comes to love.

1. Learning to love yourself & knowing you DON'T DESERVE to be alone.
2. Learning to trust/love people who aren’t you, so you WON'T BE alone.

These are not the same.
