“… in the episode we learn that a ‘Nexus Event’ is created after a variant performs an action that deviates from the Sacred Timeline, and the sudden and rapid blossoming of romance between two variants of the same person creates a big one.”

Are there any other writers out there who feel overwhelming pressure to create “content” based on what’s currently popular, in hopes that your work is recognized? Or do most of y’all say “fuck it” and do whatever you like? Discuss.

“This is the crux of Loki thus far - that there is indeed something to the idea of self-knowledge…Are we defined by the limits of what the world allows us to be? What if suddenly we were stripped of those things?“ centerofknowhere.net/blog

“…Sylvie, while a stranger, is still a reflection of himself, and vice versa. She represents an aspect of a Loki that has taken ownership of her life. She’s not only embraced her upbringing, but has gone so far as to rename herself, declaring her agency as wholly her own.” centerofknowhere.net/blog

Lamentis is easily my favorite of the series. I adore everything about this episode, particularly in terms of the score from Natalie Holt. It’s at once lonesome and menacing, and brings with it a sense of sublime despair that can only belong to a doomed world… centerofknowhere.net/blog

Fascinating article about art, fame, parasocial relationships and what reviews are for: news.artnet.com/opinion/devo...

Ah, yes. The ole “unplug it and plug it back in” routine.

“…alone with Loki, the Variant is revealed to be a female incarnation of himself, much to the shock of our anti-hero. Despite his immediate efforts to have this enchantress join him in betraying Mobius, she escapes through an activated portal.” www.centerofknowhere.net/blog

Anyone else experiencing difficulty uploading photos from iPhone storage? Just me?

“…Loki discovers that he’ll have to work much harder to escape the TVA because they - unlike himself - are well knowledged in his idiosyncrasies. To add further insult, Mobius is completely dispassionate in his dismissal of Loki’s attempts to deceive.” centerofknowhere.net/blog

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

But what if our lives weren’t so easily measured, a dotted timeline of choice and experience - action and consequence? What if there existed an infinite multiverse wherein every decision that an individual could possibly make created a never-ending fractal variation of you? centerofknowhere.net/blog

Off work for the next handful of days, so I broke into the ole home gym (basement dungeon). Got in a great workout, and managed to get a magnificent pump! Hell yeah 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽 !!!

“Fans of the current MCU phases may not appreciate Loki in the same ways that I did. It possesses nowhere near the same level of bombast or spectacle, though it is visually arresting, leaning heavily into color and lighting to accent Loki’s emotional journey throughout…” centerofknowhere.net/blog

Fourteen years with this lady right here. We’ve been all over and through even more, and she’s remained my partner, my most trusted friend, and the person I laugh with the most. I love you, babe - Happy Anniversary 💀🖤🌹🖤💀

When it’s your anniversary and you spend all day hiking in the gorgeous Appalachians, but forget you have a week’s worth of food to prep and you haven’t met your protein goals for the day: It’s TUNA TIME 🤢

“Both Loki and Judas fall into an unfortunate paradox of agency vs preordained villainy, and that to me is one of the most cruel and underhanded fates to fix upon a person.” centerofknowhere.net/blog

In an ironic and unexpected reversal, @thedevil.bsky.social followed me! Thanks, Chief!

“… the aforementioned themes of loneliness, desperation, and misguided sense of purpose are all green flags for me, but what struck me most was the idea of an agency held hostage or - in Loki’s case - an agency that may never have existed.” centerofknowhere.net/blog
