Idk if it鈥檚 just me but it lowkey pisses me off when people use they/them for Alex Fierro
Like she specifically states that she doesn鈥檛 use they/them. In the book. Upfront and simple. Magnus asks and she gives him a clear and detailed answer. Alex uses she/her and he/him. She/her when she identifies as female and he/him when he identifies as male. This is said multiple times.
When referring to her in a post or fic or whatever, y鈥檃ll have two very clear choices that are laid out for you on a silver platter BY ALEX IN THE BOOKS

i feel like more people should talk about this. magnus pretty much always had feelings for alex, romantic or not they were always some sort of positive emotion.

Finished this literally MONTHS ago... Idk why I procrastinate on posting things now lol. Anyways this is a redraw of Alex Fierro I initially started over four years ago.
Side-by-sides are below the cut! It's nice to see that I have in fact improved over the years :)

i reread hammer of thor and i decided to list out some stuff i feel has been overlooked by the fandom
and stuff that hasn't been overlooked (at all) but i HAVE to mention it anyway. because reasons
also it's not THAT long of a post but it's pretty long so i put a cut there
nobody ever mentions the 'thinking cup' like whyyy
alex fierro the cheetah and weasel :)
"the gender thing wasn't what surprised me. what surprised me was the way my impression of alex had slingshot and the emotions that had stirred up"
magnus mentioning that he had been stuck in one gender his whole life and that it didn't bother him except the way it was worded made it seem like he was unsure about it jsfjfisfidgkgd
i don't think it's overlooked but the scene in which magnus is watching alex eat and halfborn goes "there's no shame in being attracted magnus" and he CHOKES
(not overlooked at all but) HEARTH'S POSESSIVENESS OVER BLITZ <333
(DEFINITELY not overlooked but) "buddy" *proceeds to take hearth's hands in his own*, "what is wrong with my elf" 馃槶馃槶
inge being fucking abused by alderman?? she was beaten??? and the iron on the door locks is harmful and extremely painful to hulder??? THAT ASSHOLE ALDERMAN
(in context to inge explaining that alderman kept a patch of wilderness in his backyard bc hulder need wilderness to live and so that he can 'hire' more help) "she said hire. i heard catch" BITCH-
the fucking wergild. i have a lot of thoughts about that and all of them involve alderman dying
also hearth's mom doesn't really seem like much of a good person either? she didn't stop alderman from being abusive towards hearth or the house staff AND she literally just cared about her reputation. maybe she wasn't as bad as her husband but she was still pretty bad (parallels there between hearth and alex)
also parallels between hearth trying to stop alderman from taking andvari's ring and trying to "pull his dad out from a hole deeper than andvari's" and magnus trying to save randolph from falling into the hole in the ground that led to helheim-
hearth and samirah's dynamic?? they've already had a fight and patched up AND were stuck together during the utgard lanes chapters. soooo a lot
also hearth and alex's brief interactions lol
"just, you know, a little respect" "for the girl with the sharp wire? no problem" "there was nothing confusing abt the smile she gave me. it warmed up the office by about five degrees" I LOVE THEM A TOTALLY NORMAL AMOUNT
amir fadlan. AMIR FADLAN EVERYBODY <333
samirah being a girlboss. samirah handling all the stress. samirah trying to show her true self to amir. samirah braving everything put in her way with courage. just samirah <3 <3 (everybody in the whole universe should be in awe of her btw)
the scene in which they're sitting on stanley (the eight-legged horse) and magnus is nervous to hold on to alex but she just takes his hands and puts them around her waist <3
for some reason i had assumed alex had cut magnus's hair for the first time in the woods but no. it was blitz? hm
magnus's casual mention about utgard loki being attractive ajsfjfsi
taylor swift being dwarf music and prince being giant music?? (and that giant named tiny being obsessed with elvis)
an alex speech pattern which isn't much of a pattern but it repeated twice in the book: once she said (in response to hearth signing something she didn't understand. this was around the time when she and samirah revealed that alex would be taking samirah's place) "yes alex. thank you alex for being so brave and heroic." and then the other time (in the end when magnus is visiting her in her room and picks up one of her pottery projects) "no you can't touch it magnus. thanks for asking magnus" idk i just think it's cool
the trophy wife thing. sif deserves better tbh
"a girl who was rocking that wedding dress"
alex straightening magnus's tie or smth and magnus's inner monologue going "she still smells like wood smoke. why does she still smell like a campfire?"
samirah's wedding outfit?? (sounds gorgeous tbh. except for the hood which) also i have a related question. is the hood in place of hijab thing disrespectful? /gen
sif and alex dynamic <3
sif's gifts to hearth (pouch of rowan runes) and alex (golden garrote)
alex and most other shapeshifters make random animal noises and shapeshift to random animals when they're nervous
halfborn's "death and glory," mallory's "kill everyone," and tj's "charge" aksfkfiovdm. and the way magnus just becomes so much stronger when he sees his friends-
the scene at the end of the marriage battle thing when alex is all concerned because she thinks magnus doesn't believe that she was just pretending to be under loki's control and sHE'S TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM AND HE SQUEEZES HER HAND JDFJSFKFK THIS SCENE IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH
alex canonically calling magnus "sunshiny" and RESPECTING AND ADMIRING HIM AND HIS HEALING POWERS. they make me weak
samirah and magnus's dynamic is not given enough love. they are figuratively SIBLINGS and that level of closeness is not recognized by the fandom enough
(also not really about the book but. the UK cover of 'hammer of thor' depicts samirah with half of her hair falling out of her hijab. which. who tf designed these covers?? like somebody needs to give them a good throttling)
there's probably more that i don't remember but okay here have this for now :)

Okay I'm reading Magnus Chase again and I haven't read it in years. Now that I have Muslim friends I see the flaws of Samirah. But also.. They all stan her? So, obviously this is individual thing but can someone tell me if Samirah is not terribly written or if I should be disappointed in Rick? I need someone to tell me what to do and what to think because my brain is not working on this

it is criminal how ignored the part of hammer of thor where magnus and hearthstone are in alfheim is... that's some prime content there. every time magnus threatens violence on a cop or hearthstone's abusers I gain hp. I think we should've let him stay there to fuck around awhile actually.

Nina gets Matthias arrested to avoid him from being arrested, just like how Alex kills Magnus to avoid Magnus from being killed. Joy.

"Knowing you, I presume that there is a reasonable explanation for all of this, but I am struggling to think of what it might be."
"A distinct disinclination to die," she said crisply.
"Ah. That would do it."
They looked at the smoking pile of rubble in silence for a moment. Then;
"And the Hammer of Thor? What happened to it?"
She bared her teeth at him in something a more generous man would call a smile, and he nodded acceptingly, which was just as well, really, seeing as the last person to press the point had just been buried under City Hall.

the way that magnus from the first mcga book and magnus from the second and third books are two completely different people. it's like book 1 magnus was replaced with a doppelg盲nger

Me reading the wedding scene in Hammer of Thor:
Already thinking of ways I can twist this entire thing in a Good parent Loki AU so that he actually has a plan after this to help Alex/Samirah.
This line, this fucking line:
Tumblr media
*sigh*
I'm gonna have my work cut out for this.
