Bingo
On June 8, 2021, Kimmycup invited fans and shippers to take part in a Lokius Bingo on tumblr:
I made a Loki & Mobius bingo! It’s only 20 squares, so you need 4 rather than five to do a bingo row if you go horizontal ;) Romantic, platonic, familial, grudging-respect-to-partners-in-crime, all kinds of relationships welcome!
(That being said I hope that once the show ends, wowki is no longer a rare pair. I want to see this ship grow strong and flourish. And I may or may not be making self indulgent bingos and using them to try and trick people into helping me generate more content…)
This is a one card self-made bingo with no schedule or moderation, just me wanting to spread some Mobius and Loki love.
I will be making special name badges for anyone who manages to do a blackout! If you complete all 20 prompts, with either fics/art/another fan creation, let me know and I’ll pop in your ask box with a badge! For those who make a row, your badge is here, for you to claim whenever you want.[2]
A collection for the bingo was created on the Ao3 on August 28, 2021.[3]
