I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Next year’s variant works for me.

ETA: as a thread name. I am not employing viruses. I can’t offer a good enough benefits package.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope next year's variant is Croki?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I would also accept Kid Loki and/or Classic Loki.

I like "Let’s Hope Next Year’s Variant is Better"

What is "Croki"?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Also known as "Lokigator." One of the variants from Loki season 1.

There are different versions of Loki (the character), referred to in-universe as "variants." (The simple, though not 100% accurate, explanation is that it's a multiverse thing.) And in the show, one of the variants was an alligator version of Loki rather than a human.

Thank you for the Loki explainer. We watched the 1st episode, but then got distracted and haven't picked it back up. I think we're a little Marvelled out, right now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh me too. I vote Next Year's Variant is Better. Er, both for title and for life, like.
