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
[OPENS MOUTH]
[PTERODACTYL SHRIEK]
if anything happens I will live tweet a complete rewatch and let myself loose
this is a promise
the IRONY is that if I was just able to ship in peace without having to contend with hope, I WOULD just be going feral on main! I would! I did after ep2! But now it’s not just shipping I’m not just vibing there are STAKES they made it WEIRD I can’t get as emotionally invested smh

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.
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
DON CHEADLE AS FERAL BRITISH MUNITIONS EXPERT?? LMAAAOOO
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!
