Loki Spoilers - Blog Posts

I don’t think the Loki/Sylvie thing is really about romance. It’s about Loki seeing his true potential, a better version of himself, and loving what he could become. It’s about him believing in himself and fundamentally changing his concept of what is at the core of a “Loki.” And that power, the power of self love and determinism, is enough to create a nexus event in the midst of an apocalypse.

Listen.

I’ve been in the Lokius trenches since Day 1. The rest of my family is hardcore Team Sylki. It takes A LOT to get these two ships to even be civil with one another.

But the season finale? This is a time for brotherhood.

We will mourn together the loss of our almost-canon ships. We will sing the funeral dirges as our hopes of Season 3 goes to die. We will swap fanfics and theories and song requests on playlists to make TikTok edits to. And at the end of it all, we’ll mourn the idea of Loki, whose greatest fear was being alone, taking up the Glorious Burden and never getting his happy ending.

Perhaps tomorrow it will all be normal once again. Back to the Twitter threads and the spats over Tumblr. But this? This is true fandom spirit.

We’re a family. And family means putting aside our differences and giving a hefty “Fuck you” to canon with both middle fingers up. Bless this mess.

i still can’t believe the lokius and sylki fandoms finally agree on one thing and it’s how terrible that ending was

Boastful Loki: Why do you wanna go back to the TVA? What do you want to do there?

Loki: Myself

guys I’ve never suffered so much for a tv show what the fuck do I do

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.

OKAY THIS IS REALLY OFF TOPIC BUT…

because the TVA goes back to reset everything when anyone messes up the the Sacred Timeline

this means there was potentially a timeline where the Ant Man Asshole Thanos theory could’ve happened but the TVA reset everything

They really said cas is in super hell and aziraphale is in super heaven why not put loki in super time

Loki spoilers/theories under cut

You know how Peggy Carter supposedly made a cameo in Loki? I have a theory that the Peggy seen is actually the one from Agent Carter.

The theory is, since Steve was supposedly supposed to go back and stay with Peggy, that would mean Agent Carter never happened. It’s not canon. And neither is Agents of Shield. And since Agents of Shield was almost like a sequel to Agent Carter, it would make sense for the Peggy variant seen in Loki to be the Peggy of Agent Carter.

That‘s my theory. What do you think?
