Random show/ship inspired song recommendation - pt. 1: Lokius
I’d have to think about it by Leith Ross
Starting this because lately I’ve been relating every thing I do to them and particularly with music. Beginning with the most perfect song ever, every lyric perfectly matches with them.
I think if this song as Mobius about Loki throughout many points in the show but particularly after the finale. I could talk about every single line if this song in depth because I love it so much but I will just do the ones that specifically jump out to me as lokius.
The first one of these is: “But if you come to me, in my home with my three kids, if you asked me to leave, to be with you and split, well I’d at least, have to think about it”
This very strongly makes me think of ep 5 season 2, when Loki finds Mobius’ place of the sacred timeline and asks him to come with her. The “Well I’d at least, have to think about it” is about how Don doesn’t immediately trust Loki and Loki has to convince him his boys will be fine without him. He needs to consider it first, but still easily trusts Loki and follows him. This line is repeated throughout the song with variations each time.
“And honest I can tell you now , I love you more than my future spouse”
This is about the way Don immediately likes Loki even though he doesn’t exactly know them. The way he casually drops the fact that he’s a single dad seconds after meeting him, he tries to sell his second JetSki - he loves them and there were already ones Loki could buy at the shop.
“You are my Achilles heel, the weakness only I can feel”
This reminds me of how at the end of the finale Ep, when Mobius watched his house and kids from the same place Don did with Loki. Sylvie shows up and stands with him, she seems fine, she has gotten over Loki’s absence. Mobius hasn’t, he stays standing there when Sylvie leaves.
At the end of the song is the line: “And still there’s not a change that I’d change, that’s okay, but I think about it”
Mobius understands why Loki made that sacrifice. I don’t think he would force Loki to stay with him if he could and let the disaster happen. He will let time pass knowing as long as it does Loki is safe, Loki is watching him. He will always be thinking about it, but he wouldn’t deny Loki his glorious purpose because he knows what it means to her.
