Sylvie is lying when she says that she doesn’t remember her family. She can remember bits and pieces but it just so happens it’s very little to no information on her background. It’s little to no information that Loki can use to figure out what her true motives are. While Loki told her enough for a tactical advantage as she stated. Sylvie actually probably hates Frigga !! The line “ Are you sure she’s your mother” after Loki finishes telling her the fond memories he had of Frigga. As if indicating that the experience was not the same probably at all. It would explain why Sylvie is not as skilled as Loki when it comes to magic. Frigga taught Loki how to do magic. “No. You and your father cast large shadows. I had hoped that by sharing my gifts with Loki that he could find some sun for himself.” FRIGGA Or when Loki says that he’s adopted and spoiler for her. She says I knew. They told me they didn’t tell you. Pay attention to her body language and facial experience. As if remembering a bad memory something that doesn’t make her feel good. Frigga had always referred to herself as Lokis mother. Telling him Asgard was his home. They were his family. She never once referred to Loki as adopted. Loki was spared when eventually being hauled back to Asgard to answer for his crimes because of Frigga. Slyvie obviously doesn’t feel the same way about Frigga that Loki does. We know that Loki would love to stop his mother’s death but I’m not getting that vibe from Sylvie. I think her and Lokis bottom lines are as far away from each other as it can possibly be. I don’t think Sylvie is as attached to the Odin, Frigga, and or Thor in the way that Loki is. I felt like She said they never told you as if wow that was never used as a weapon against you kind of way. Like disbelief that there is a reality where the family could be kind to her. She comes off extremely as a loner. Only appearing to trust herself. She is constantly alert. She reads what is going on in the room when Loki just wants to be the center of attention. The line I never have my back to the door is quite different as Loki is just like whatever and it makes no sense with another door being behind you kind of shaking off what she says as if it’s not something he would think about doing. But she wants to keep her focus on the main door so she is not surprised. She has probably spent her life having to protect herself, overly prove herself, teach herself while growing up in a cold and unkind family environment. While Sylvie has that same narcissist vibe that Loki has. It feels more like her weapon of choice to protect herself from being hurt.
"Adding to the pile of “@twhiddleston is a gentleman and kind human being” stories, he unknowingly stopped me from an intense panic attack on set last year.
While filming Episode 4, I had a brain injury flareup. I couldn’t keep focused and was forgetting everything @itssophiadimartino did in rehearsal. It got bad enough that Tom had to step in to tell me what to do and where to go. I was insanely embarrassed as I prided myself at being good at my job, yet I couldn’t remember basic choreography.
As my internal anxiety was growing to panic levels, Tom suddenly took me by the shoulders and just held on for a minute with a gentle gaze. I realized later it was actually part of the scene, thus was likely just Tom being in the moment. But I like to think somehow, subconsciously he picked up on me needing comfort at that moment.
Touch is my communication style/love language and during COVID touch was especially rare. That simple hold on my shoulders and kind eyes took me down from teetering on a crying panic attack to just mild embarrassment I could then shake off and continue working.
I’ll never know if Tom did it on purpose or not, but I’ll always be grateful to him for it.“
