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
feeding my own delusions this is exactly how the 3rd movie ended right?
Woohoo!!! It’s time to get into the spirit!!!
Thanks to @rmd-writes, @indomitable-love, and @three-drink-amy for the tags to share my winter/holiday-themed fics! I'll be reblogging a couple of these that have their own cover art over the coming weeks, but this is a good excuse to collect them all in one place! I have... quite a few, especially after last year lol.

Stobotnik is conceptually the funniest ship to ever exist. It’s a gay ship with the villain from sonic the hedgehog and his fruity assistant who was supposed to be a bit charecter until Jim Carrey asked if he could stick his fingers in the other guy’s mouth and oh yeah Jim Carrey is there. Said bit character simped so hard for Jim Carrey that his role was expanded on in the sequels to the point where it becomes an emotional plot point in the climax of the third movie. They’re doomed by the narrative. They’re main goal in life is to kill Dewey from ducktales. there is a good chance that fruity ass assistant man could go mad with grief over losing Jim Carrey to the point of becoming the villain of the fourth movie.
like you can’t make this shit up. It’s fucking beautiful. Jim carrey’s dead cousin is right humanity is a gift.
This. All of this.
tumblr is the only place i can be absolutely unhinged and real about my feelings with the loki finale. thank u guys for making this the least bit bare-able. i love u loki fandom. i love u lokius nation. i love u tumblr. i love u loki series: a hauntingly beautiful full circle character arc love story. i love u fan fic writers. i love u mcu.
This post is the stuff of legends.
it never hit me how shortsighted Heaven is until i realized they put a Principality (whose entire raison d’être is to protect places and people from harm) in charge of Earth, and then were genuinely surprised when Armageddon came and said Principality went absolutely off-the-grid feral trying to stop it
We been knew. Aziraphale is 1000% That Bitch.
In 0.5 seconds and without saying a single word, Michael Sheen changed lives.
This was the bitchiest bitch moment Aziraphale had in all 2 seasons. Thank you for your service, respectfully, I am deceased.

Thank you. I’ll be needing this after Season 2 of Good Omens with all the fix-it fics I’ll be reading 😩😩😩
Attention AO3 to Kindle readers
Sending fics to my kindle has been a godsend since I started. But with the recent switch from mobi to epub I’ve had some issues. Namely, losing the table of contents and chapter separation of fics.
Well no more!
Though some may not care, it bugged the hell out of me. So (thanks to Reddit) I have a solution and it works! One note, this is specifically for doing on mobile. I’m sure it works on the computer too but I haven’t tried.
1) Download the fic to your phone as a mobi file
2) Using Zamzar (free and safe) convert the file to epub
3) Send to your kindle app
It’s that simple! Now I just have to go through my kindle and do it to all my fics 😭. Oh well. Happy reading friends!
