Mama didn’t raise a quitter but she did raise a homosexual and and an idiot
Alright y'all, lemme be real fucking clear here
Jake Lockley is not evil, Jake Lockley is not "just a killer", Jake Lockley is not a bad person
Jake Lockley is a protector in a system that has been severely traumatized as a child and were not protected and taken care of like they should have been.
Yes, he seems more prone to violence than Marc or Steven, but that does not make him an evil, unfeeling person. He's doing what needs to be done to protect them. The times we know for absolute sure that he has shown up (episode 3 in Cairo, episode 6 in the final battle) have been times where the system was about to die. In episode 3, Marc had been knocked down/out by Harrow's followers, and when he comes back front they're on a cliff. It seems like Harrow's followers were about to throw the system off of a cliff, and Jake came front to protect them and keep them alive, and you'll notice that he left the teenager alive, and let Marc back front as soon as the immediate life-threatening danger had passed. In episode 6, Marc was again on the ground, after Harrow threw his worst trauma in his face, with his soul being pulled out of his body, and Layla was surrounded by Harrow's men. Again, Jake fronted to save their life, and then stepped back once the immediate threat to their life was handled
He is not a cold-blooded killer, he's a protector doing his best to keep their system alive when there are people actively trying to fucking murder them
Stop writing him as this cold, hard, unfeeling person. Stop writing him as participating in senseless violence just because he wants to
You are doing a disservice to Jake as a character, and you are waving a bright red flag over your head that tells systems "hey I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to perpetuate harmful stereotypes because it's fun for me!"
Fucking. Stop. It.
There, consider me welcomed. Now outta my way!
We don`t have enough of them but the ones we have are amazing and powerful
Less than 10K words, Season One Era
Thought I’d share a few of my favorite Lokius fics. These from the season one era, season two and multi-chapter recs coming soon. (Edit multi-chapter recs here! Season two fic recs here!)
If you’re craving hurt/comfort or angst with a happy ending:
Thin Ice by Lydiagwilt- Ravonna deprives Loki of his Æsir glamour after a routine mission gone wrong. Mobius picks up the pieces.
Let’s Brave This Winter Storm Together by DewdropReader- Loki awakens in his Jotunn form, Mobius is there to help him through the panic.
honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago by preach_electric - Mobius takes Loki to visit Frigga.
Incredible by Ailendolin- Loki revisits a childhood memory with Mobius (more Frigga reunions).
For the Hope of it All by DewdropReader- Loki POV during Mobius’ pruning in season one and their Hug In The Void ™.
At The Doors of Valhalla by FistsForHire- Loki gets injured on a mission, briefly visits Valhalla and reconciles with his mother and father.
Close to Perfect by LoveThyEnemy- (Explicit) Loki sleeps with an almost-his-Mobius while searching for His-Mobius. Okay, okay this one is hurt/ no comfort, usually not my choice of reading material, but it’s so (heartbreakingly) beautifully written I had to include it.
If you’re craving sweetness:
Lokius - 30 Days of Domestic Fluff by Mimisempi- Collection of domestic fluff, can’t go wrong with Mimisempi.
Lokius Fluffuary by blackbirdofasgard- More fluff collections! Also can’t go wrong with blackbirdofasgard.
In your arms, I feel infinite by VagaryLove- Loki and Mobius spend a quiet day in bed, safe and tucked away from the outside world.
I'll Keep Your Secrets by LoveThyEnemy- (Mature) Loki and Mobius keep each others secrets, reflections on their love during their first time together.
What is love by Love_Is_Green- Loki reflects on the meaning of love (and how perhaps a dagger wasn’t the best metaphor; another gorgeous reflective piece).
Baby’s First Yuletide by Tears_and_smiles- Loki, Mobius and baby Frida spend their first Yuletide with Loki's family surrounded by love. I’m a sucker for a Lokius baby fic and this one hits all the surrounded by love feels.
stumble into love like a challenge above by RunnyYolk- Loki is distracted by Mobius’ cologne… first kiss and romantic declarations follow. (This fic is gorgeously written; more than my silly one sentence summary can describe)
Post- Season One Reunions
I will never tire of stories where Loki and Mobius find each other across universes or Loki returns Mobius’ memories.
You or Your Memory by Chamel- Loki works to restore Mobius’ memories.
when you love somebody till the end of time by thumbbird- Mobius finds His Loki (with the help of all the other Lokis).
Beneath the Stars by Tears_and_Smiles- Loki finds His Mobius.
Drømde mik en drøm (I dreamed a dream) by Mirilya- Mobius finds Loki also a Thor and Loki reunion fic!
our way, no take backs by dinosuns- Sylvie, Mobius, and Loki in the immediate aftermath of S1 (okay this one is just over 20K words).
I feel like these fics are only a sliver of the excellent fics I read in that time between season one and two. There are simply too many incredible stories to fit into one post! Speaking of, I tried really hard to only pick my favorites but honestly I could recommend the entire works of the authors listed here.
Happy reading!
If today felt impossible, if it took everything you have just to get through. Rest easy with the knowledge that you never have to do today again. It’s over. You did it <3
Saw this trend going on in another fandom, decided to see what it’d be like if the mfb characters had instagram profiles 😂
Gingka - I can imagine Gingka uploading every week or so, doesn’t post stories much tho. His content consist mostly of photos of Pegasus/beyblade fights, the stars, BURGERS & FRIES (food in general), motivational quotes and other stuff (such as Hokuto in the last pic 😂). If it weren’t for Madoka tho, he probably wouldn’t upload so often.
Kyoya - Literally posts once a year 💀No stories whatsoever. Follows only people he knows or considers to be worthy rivals. Lots of lion pics & pics of Leone. Occasionally a selfie ☺️(to bless the fandom)
Hikaru - Her pics are mostly of coffee dates, the sea/ocean, urban photography. Great attention to detail. Only follows people she knows personally and who inspire her.
Madoka - The real insta queen ✨ Just like Hikaru, she’d pay great attention to details of her photos. Edits the shit out of them. Posts regularly and follows quite a lot of accounts (mostly pages with beyblade, cute stuff and recipes).
Masamune - Either uploads 200 times a month or not at all. His content is mostly beyblade, but he also uploads pictures from his travels. I also think he’d definitely have a matching bio with either King, Zeo or Toby 😂
King - Uploads more stories than actual posts. He also has a surprisingly good eye when it comes to photography and his pictures turn out to be great without him even trying. Takes photo each time he eats a gyros (a Greek dish made from meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie)
Tsubasa - The insta king 🔥 Takes a lot of pictures when he travels and posts regularly (that’s the reason why he has so much followers).
ALL right your perky! why is masquerade your boy(did I make Christmas come early)?
(Yes, you did!)
I don’t really know why I like Masquerade so much. There’s not much we learn about him in the show aside from the fact that he’s a genius at Bakugan strategy, wants to take over the world, is cyclical, and is the alter ego of Alice. But for some reason I really really liked him. Both him and Alice don’t get that much screen time after Season 1–and a lacking amount in Season 2– but they were definitely more interesting than the others. Like how does the sweetest girl in the world end up with such a twisted personality? Why is Masquerade fully human while Hal-G is a monster? Why does it seem like Alice and Masquerade are on two opposite spectrums of the gender binary, and why does that create such different persons? Why couldn’t they be separated? How come Masquerade never came to the conclusion that he was Naga’s chess piece, and he’d be thrown out like trash after the worlds combined?
It was a very confusing thing. And despite barely being seven years old when I first met Masquerade, his character stuck with me for years. I had so many unanswered questions. But after a while, I realized that he’s just a normal kid. Sure, he was born of evil. But if you were told your whole life who you’ll become, would you do anything to try and stop it?
So yeah, I just felt like Masquerade deserved more. He deserved having a friend. And Alice could have been that one friend. But I guess we’ll never know
OF COURSE LUKIA LIKES A SURFER. GOOD LORD
mermaid melody aqua preview pages featuring lucia, kaito, their daughter lukia and her love interest! <3
