In light of all the logo drama here’s the completed cover and logo for a zine I’ve been slowly compiling of my Loki art.

I don’t know why, but this makes me happy.

Pretending to be ok when you aren’t, is exhausting. Sending so much love and strength to the ghostie trying to hide their struggles every day. You’re strong as heck x

It’s tranquil and calming. Slows down a racing mind, and you just get to enjoy your own little safe world for a brief moment.

what to do when everything’s a mess

Wash your hair. Don’t worry about all those articles online about the best haircare products of 2019 and whatnot, get in, wash it like you usually do, get out. Leave it to air dry, it’s less work for you.

Brush your teeth. Even if you brushed them this morning and are probably going to brush it tonight, do it anyway. Especially if it’s exam time, all that tea or coffee you’re most likely downing (props to you if you only study with water) probably makes them feel kind of gross.

I know most of these lists tell you to run a bath, but let’s face it, for those of you who even have a bath in the first place, the thought of filling that tub and sitting there in complete silence for a couple hours seems like a trek. And ironically exhausting. So instead, just brush your hair, take a nap (set a nice soothing alarm) and once you’ve gotten out of bed, wash your face or at least splash cold water on your face.

CLEAN clean clean clean CLEAN. Easier said than done, but at least start by clearing one messy component of your area; it could be your floor, your desk or your bed. You don’t need to clean and re-organise your entire room marie condo-style for you to actually have a reason to take the time to clean in the first place. A little goes a long way, and you don’t ALWAYS need to do the hard yards ya know.

I would say read a book, but sometimes your brain is melting or buzzing so it can’t really focus on anything lengthy. So instead, find someone reciting a poem online, and just listen to it. I recommend Jeremy Irons and his voicing of tons of T.S Eliot poetry, or Allen Ginsberg reciting his own poetry (Howl is a classic).

If you’re one of those people who drowns their sorrows by listening to music, don’t listen to music!! Don’t reinforce your pain!! So to that I say, listen to a podcast. If the classic podcast genre of true crime is a little too stressful and you’ve already cried twice today, listen to interviews with actors, screenwriters and directors. It can be really refreshing to listen to people you already enjoy the content of talk about their work. I recommend Awards Chatter and Happy Sad Confused.

Stop staring at screens! Just physically sit outside for a bit, you don’t need to go for a jog or do a general workout, just…sit. People-watch, try and memorise the exact scene in front of you, from the mis-en-scene to all the colours and sounds and the way the sunlight feels on your eyelashes. Write it down if you want to, you could even denote a single notebook to your little outdoor descriptions. Or just write on a napkin. To each their own.

Have you eaten today? And I mean something hearty, something that isn’t primarily made out of air and salt. Something that falls under the umbrella of snack does not count; meal is more like it. If not, eat. Preparing food might feel exhausting, but so’s going a relatively long amount of time without something nutritionally substantial.

If you’re feeling emotionally heavily, get out a notebook or even just a scrap of paper, a pen and cry until your eyes are as blurry as can be. With tears down your cheeks, scribble out how you’re feeling. Don’t bother with how neat or messy it is, whether the sentences even stay on the lines, it’s not about being aesthetic. In fact, it’s about being as messy as possible. Let all of it out, and let is act as a physical manifestation of what’s going on in your head. Don’t fight it or deny it, relieve yourself by both constructing and understanding yourself.

Why Loki wasn't alive IW/Endgame

Steve: We don’t trade lives

Loki: wE dOn’t tRade liVeS

Loki, wiping away tears from laughing: sir don’t tell me you’re actually considering the life of ONE (1) toaster over that of half the universe

Steve:

—

Stephen: So I have the time stone -

Tony: If thanos needs all 6 why don’t we stick that one down the disposal

Stephen: I cant do that

Loki, trying to pull the necklace off: What, you got some ‘noble’ reason to protect it?? Nice try you second rate wizard that’s not enough reason to kill that many people

—

Thor: I need a Thanos-killing weapon from the best wielders in the universe! THey are on Svartalfheim

Loki: why don’t you just get stark to build something

Thor:

Loki: yeah svartalfheim would be exactly where thanos would go to get a gauntlet made I doubt anyone there is alive and wants to help you

Thor:

Loki: What? I know things! I was odin for like 2 years…

—

Strange: [fighting thanos]

Loki: why don’t you put him in the mirror dimension or something?

Strange, multiplying into 100 people and using glowing whips: uhh

Loki: Or do the portal thing and cut off his arm

Strange, throwing butterflies at Thnaos: that wont work!

Loki: okay… then why not a portal like the one you put me in that one time?? This fight is fun to watch but unnecessary

—

Thanos’ Ship: [appears]

Loki, taking out the tesseract: …Okay yeah I’m getting out of here round up the people so I can use this teleporting cube to get everyone OUT of here before we DIE because that is THANOS’ ship and he doesn’t like me OR >50% of a population

—

[on Vormir]

Red Skull: SO that’s what you’ve got to do

Loki: One soul… in exchange for half of the universe…?

Red Skull: Yep, that’s all

Loki, stabbing Thor and pushing him off the cliff: Seems like a fair trade to me

[helplesslyfictional]

*Loki and Tony Stark standing on the balcony of Stark Tower in Avengers 2012 surroundings*

Loki: Did you get the mind stone out already of the scepter?

Tony: Yep. Done and done.

Loki: Good, may I have that?

Tony: The scepter? What for? I mean sure. Here.

Loki: Thank you. *throws the scepter out of the Earth’s atmosphere*

Tony: Wow. Good aim. How long have you been wanting to do that?

Loki: You have no idea.

#loki #i always think tony and loki would be friends

Touching the same part of your face on the drawback is a subtle way to make sure you’re keeping your draw the same. If you can reduce some of the random variables for aiming, you can be more consistent. 

You just know Hiddleston probably researched this, because his pull and release is proper, as opposed to many films using archery.
