Loki deserves to have an active role in the multiversal war. He deserves to fight alongside the Avengers. He deserves to save the day, he deserves to use his new time powers against a big bad, he-

#listen I’ve heard people saying loki is way too OP now to be in anymore battle scenes #but LISTEN #he’s only omniscient and omnipotent while he’s holding the branches #if he leaves his throne yeah he’ll still be able to timeslip and freeze time and do telekinesis and stuff #but he won’t be so overpowered that he can’t still be realistically used in a fight scene #it’s just that the fight needs to be against someone who is also super powerful #I need a scene of kang realising that to take control of the multiverse he has to dethrone loki #so he shows up to where the citadel used to be with an army or a badass weapon or smth #and we get a loki v kang 1v1 fight scene in which loki kicks his ass #but then afterwards he realises that more trouble is brewing so the multiversal avengers have to be assembled #and he’s just like a Nick fury type person appearing via astral projections and stuff for most of the movie/saga/whatever #but then at then end when the big battle is going on and the avengers are losing #he has to get up and actually come to the battlefield to handle shit himself #like a deus ex machina #and then afterwards he goes back to the TVA and lives happily ever after the end #loki series #loki meta #loki finale spoilers #avengers kang dynasty #avengers secret wars

the sylvie fandom is running low on content and i find myself busy with life during this crucial time. just know i am still thinking about her despite it all.

#please let me out of class early no one has posted about sylvie laufeydottir in like 12 hours #which is a VERY long time in these parts!!!!! #and if i don't do it who will! loki voice she needs me! #what i do envy about twitter is their ability to keep fan circles going for so so long. maybe it's fueled by fighting but they keep posting #bangs pots and pans twitter users come hereeeee #loki series #sylvie #sylvie laufeydottir #juni rambles

going absolutely feral at the despair in his eyes. The realization that he actually hurt thor and now there's no going back from this. Yeah they hit each other a bit before this but that was all sparring. Normal stuff. But this time Loki didn't follow the rules of a clean fight. It's dirty and he knows it is.

He hurt Thor, but he hurt Thor. There is no coming back from that. He was already starting to cry when Thor said they could fix it together, but hurting thor, stabbing Thor is what sends him over the edge. Putting that knife in Thor was like putting that knife inside himself. He would have preferred it that way.

#loki #thor #a1 #loki and thor #this is why i ignore the running joke in mcu that loki has stabbed thor a million times before #LOOK AT THEM #this is NOT THEIR NORMAL #they don't seek to hurt each other #not like THIS #Loki kept doing worse and worse in this movie #but thor kept begging him to come home #because thor and loki at their core are always reaching for each other #thor keeps trying to bring loki home #and loki keeps refusing because he feels like he doesn't deserve to have a home anymore #but thor thinks that loki is refusing HIM and then Loki puts that knife in him #and he realizes that this time #this time loki is serious #there is no coming back from this #avengers meta #loki meta #me ranting in the tags like i cut myself off mid post lol

i'm so sorry to see that you're being vagueposted about for your sylki takes. it may be true that how you see sylki is a bit different than a certain section of the fandom, but that doesn't at ALL mean that you shouldn't be allowed to have your own takes! fwiw, i followed you bc i actually agree with and really enjoy ur perspective on sylki. i was getting frustrated with how many people seem to view this ship in a super heteronormative way and want sylvie to basically become a housewife, and i was so glad to find a blog that felt the same way. this fandom has become tiring tbh with how many people are now freaking out that sylvie hasn't immediately started having lokis babies in s2, and i really wish that people would at least leave room for others to have their own opinions!

this! that section of sylki shippers do not leave any room for you to have your opinions! they act like a fanon police controlling what you say in your posts on your blog!

and god forbid that what you say opposes their own hcs and takes, if you commit this unforgivable sin of having a take that is different from theirs, you better be ready for some good old online group harassment! they will make you feel like you are not welcome in this fandom, they will make sure that you are hurt, they will alienate you and force you out!

but no, you are the bad guy for jokingly calling a fandom in general "vanilla" and saying (after several disclaimers that it's your personal opinion) that when it comes to canon, you don't think that sylvie should be all about being loki's housewife.

at this point i honestly hate this fandom. there are some decent sylkis out there and i love the ship itself, but a big portion of the fandom has simply sucked all the joy for the series out of me. i wonder if they realize what the consequences of their behavior could be? back when i said (in my blog) that i don't think sylvie having babies is a compelling completion of her story in canon, and this bunch came to my blog to harass me for my takes, i was in a very *very* bad place already, and the space that was supposed to be my escape pretty much turned on me and added up to an already depressing state i was in.

and bfr anyone says that it's just a fandom wank, let me tell you that these people know how to be really cruel, whether they realize it or not, their behavior is simply cruel. they don't just argue in favor of their opinion, they shit on you personally, get aggressive towards you personally, make you feel like you "can't sit with them", ect. it gets really creepy and ugly.

and the thing is, i never addressed anyone specific in my posts, i never said *this* person and *that* person have shitty hcs/takes, i never even vaguely hinted at a distaste towards the hcs/takes of someone specific, but they accuse me of pointing fingers. when i said that i didn't think canon sylvie having babies would work, i never said anything about sylki babies in fanfiction, yet people accused me of pointing fingers at the fic writers. and they would come to my blog, harass me in the replies and asks, and talk about how despicable i am in their own blogs, and it went on and on for a while.

thanks for your nice words, anon, they are uplifting. and to those who can't stand me so much, don't worry, i'm going to leave this fandom once the series is finished. i hope you are satisfied that being a shitty, gatekeeping, narrow-minded, egocentric person worked for you! but don't ever feel entitled to complain about how lokius shippers treat you.

I finished watching Sevens for the first time in sub on November 29th 2022.

It is now exactly a year later, November 29th 2023 and I am, coincidentally, watching the last few episodes of the Sevens dub tonight.

I swear I didn't plan that.

#yugioh #ygo #yugioh sevens #ygo sevens #sevens #this isn't the first time something like this has happened with YGO for me #the first time I watched GX #season 1 of Loki was also coming out #and my recent GX rewatch ended up coinciding with Loki season 2 coming out #I didn't watch season 2 of Loki like I did season 1 #cuz S1 of Loki made me leave the MCU fandom #kind of in favour of YGO cuz GX was so much better lmao #so for the second season of it to air during my GX rewatch kinda amused me #in a “It's two years later and look which fandom won” kind of way #anyways my point is maybe heart of the cards is real after all-

[textsfromthetva]

oh dear:

202 begins with a bit of a time jump as X-5 (Rafael Casal) spent enough time in the sacred 1977 timeline to enjoy being his movie star variant known as Brad Wolfe. How much time actually passed?

I don’t think we ever established it, but I think it’s probably been a couple of years. Brad has been down there living this life. In episode one, when he picks up Mobius’ Jet Ski magazine, he seems to realize, “This is something from the timeline. Wait a second, I have a life down there, too. I need to go check mine out.” And so he went and did that, and he ended up realizing, "oh, this is pretty cool. I want to live that." So he got into that life, and he’s been enjoying it for maybe a couple years.

so yeah. seems it was option 2 all along, and he actually did steal the original Brad Wolfe's life.

#brad wolfe #loki series #loki spoilers #my man has zero scruples when it comes to throwing people under the bus and I love him for it #he will literally get rid of his own Sacred Timeline variant just to have a good time #what a guy

[illprotectyou-hearteyes]

Okay ONE more Loki post. I liked Sylvie in s1, genuinely! She was dynamic and interesting, the banter between her and Loki was on point, etc.

But then they toned down the makeup and the hairspray so she's a little less polished and gave her a small life she loves with nice coworkers and a favorite record shop. and I LOVE her

#loki spoilers #i mean yeah i think they should have let her look wrinklier and odder <3 #but i can admit i'm the one watching a marvel show #if that's what i want i have come to the wrong place #anyway listen i keep seeing people say she's so selfish and she's not growing #i think that she IS selfish and she IS growing and i LOVE her #yeah it looks like she'll probably get pulled into needing to save the world one more time #(she *might* not but that's another essay i'm not gonna get into) #but i hope so bad that she gets to return to the life she loves after that #loki has been building a life with his friends and that's lovely #but the tva persecuted sylvie her entire life #*loki's friends* did that #and yes they've changed!! yes sylvie is plenty flawed too!! #but a life with them isn't the way forward that she wants #and that's okay #after all #what's so terrible about wanting something? #loki is allowed #and so is she #plus i just. god with cosmic powers who just wants to be allowed a normal life in freedom. without wielding power over anyone. #it GETS to me!! #also if Loki does end up being part of leading the TVA #so that you have one of them learning how to wield power well #and the other learning to give it up #that makes for a two sides of the same coin that i find very satisfying #(granted i for various reasons would prefer burning the TVA to the ground and loki also relinquishing power #but my guess at this point is that they won't go that way with it #which i suppose isn't surprising since it's a good tool to have in their back pocket for the films) #anyway #i love sylvie <3

me writing headcanons for obscure media that's already been dead for years? its more likely than you think

Avengers Academy Loki primarily identifies as female, and even when she is presenting male, she is pretty feminine. Shes always been secure in her identity, but the first time she ever felt truly accepted and loved as who she is was when Jan offered to make her feminine clothes without a seconds hesitation.

#this is one of those things that is so set in my personal beliefs i forget it isnt canon #this along with the cane as a mobility aid. canon to me idc #Back on Asgard she tended to simply dress more/less feminine depending on how she felt without changing her body #(subtle changes that could be brushed off should anyone decide to take issue with her identity) #but since coming to the school she tends to shapeshift more and more; to become who she truly feels like #she knows shes safe here that her friends will always have her back. even the people at the school who hate her generally respect her #also while she primarily id's as a woman she is still genderfluid! #wasp has been known to post running pronoun updates on her social media when loki is feeling particularly fluid #i like to think the event when you get lady loki is the first time loki shapeshifts her body on campus and wasps reaction to it both shocks #her and encourages her to be more faithful to how she feels internally- after that she spends at least 50% of her time in that form and #using she/her pronouns #avengers academy #avac #avac loki #loki avengers academy #janet van dyne #avac wasp #nyxtalks

Alright girlies (gn), first episodes of ofmd s2 were obviously incredible, hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time and so so deliciously queer.

Time to watch the first episode of loki s2 and be inevitably disappointed about everything.

#wait why is disney+ telling me it comes out tomorrow? #am I in a different time zone? huh #still can’t wait to be disappointed in how they made the queerest character mcu has so straight #(saying ‘a bit of both’ and then throwing him into a pseudo incestous relationship doesn’t cut it) #ofmd #Loki

[worstloki]

Loki surveilling the skyline of New York from the top of Stark Tower and clocking that his favorite paired set of buildings are gone. sad

#everyone wants thor and loki to have visited earth a bunch of times and obviously they wouldn't be too invested in earth politics #but i think the concept of much time passing between visits should be taken advantage of #like what if one of them missed seeing the statue of liberty on their past 3 visits and now that's 'suddenly' a famous historic landmark #Loki like wow I sure hope that restaurant in the Soviet Union is still around! #and Natasha's head whips around so fast like you mean Russia or one of the surrounding countries that used to be part of the USSR #Loki: uhm. well. what's the difference #Natasha: here is a map of the countries does this help #Loki: it does not help but thank you for trying #Thor: what do you mean Rome is gone???? Rome was HUGE????? #Tony: well it's been a few centuries since then Europe is very different now #Thor: (visibly distressed) so the the sweet effeminate men enjoy the streets no more?? #Tony: ...I don't keep track of foreign border laws about that #Thor shows up after 3 years and there's a new president and he's very confused through the entire meeting #brodinsons being so detached from the political scene but being so used to realm politics they come to correct conclusions about things #even though the timeline and how long things stay the same on midgard still messes with them #Loki: at least Egypt is still around #Thor: China also #Brodinsons visiting New Zealand(Aotearoa)/Australia/various British mandate islands before the British formally showed up #returning 2 centuries later and 'the gene pool has altered drastically' 'must've been a war' #well it's either that or since Asgard seems spared of colorism they treat all humans as the same and don't notice. which might be worse #on the colonisation and liberation side of things

[frumfrumfroo]

Yeah, same, I had a bunch of mutuals encouraging me to watch Loki and I just don't trust like that anymore lol. A few of my fandoms are finally getting sequels after some time and I'm just like... dreading it? And not looking forward to it? It's really sad since I've been in fandom for over half my life.

I must ask, have you seen Dark? Because its romance is held up by cosmic loftiness impossible-in-any-other-circumstance and only through extreme means, and the redemption in the story makes me tear up just trying to convey the tone, and its ending makes me ugly cry. That sounds kind of up your alley, and it's sort of my only light in the dark. Puns.

I do find it funny that a show like Dark - a not inappropriate name - manages to celebrate redemption in a higher cosmic way than Star Wars ended up doing. The same jokes were made about True Detective's first season when TROS aired, though TD doesn't have the romance.

I did not know TD had redemption! I saw the memes about the show and saw people hype for it, but I never knew this. I am far more interested in maybe watching it eventually now lol.

I hadn't heard about Dark at all, but I will put it on my list to check out. Thank-you, nonnie!

Same. I honestly have always been wary of sequels or continuations to stand alone properties or long-concluded series, but it's become more and more the news you fucking dread hearing, just as you say.

I wasn't interested when the first rumours of the series were going around years before it materialised, and I knew then I wasn't going near it with a ten foot pole. People said I was 'wrong' during the first season, but a) I wouldn't have been wrong about my personal reasons for not wanting to watch it even if it had been great as its own independent thing and b) lol when has not trusting the M- 'continuity? what continuity?'-CU ever been wrong?

#there is no character the mcu has been shittier to and like why would I expect different #and even if I were to give them a chance (why would I do that) I already know they're not going to give me Thor1 Loki #the character I love so much is never coming back the ship has sailed #if by some insane divine intervention he ever did- why would anyone think they'd do right by him #they don't understand why people like Loki and never will #they've spent enough time punishing the character and the audience for his popularity can we all just accept this now #the delusional people who think dlf are going to bring back Ben- if they did it would only get worse

[thegirlwholied]

in WHAT multiverse though is the story you go with to prove your identity to an alternate-universe version of yourself the childhood death of a sibling??

Nobody reviewing that script considered 'hey it's the multiverse, maybe this is a universe where Stephen Strange's sister did not fall through ice as a child?' Because... that's the kind of change a multiverse is built on?? For reference see It's a Wonderful Life??

#doctor strange spoilers #multiverse of madness spoilers #doctor strange 2 spoilers #doctor strange #multiverse of madness #not to harp on a small thing but uh #but this came from the guy who also wrote Loki the multiverse show?? should he not spend a lot of time thinking about the multiverse? #is the premise that any version of Stephen Strange who has become Doctor Strange had that trauma?? #also weird coming right off Moon Knight to have another childhood-loss-of-sibling but okay #i kind of would have preferred that story getting shared early and having one of our multiversal Doctor Stranges be the sister? #no time for that i guess but #whatever chord this meant to hit it did not quite strike imho #of course you can at least watsonian explanation this with 'that strange was evil and just playing along anyway'

[kinnoth]

Ok but think about how fucking horrible Loki would have turned if Thor had managed to become king. Like, even when they were only princes together, there was basically nothing Loki couldn't get away with: bullying the patriciate, being a flagrant wizard, spending extravagant amounts of money on absolute tat. And then, he was only the third most powerful man in the empire. With Odin gone, and only Thor who could possibly curb him? Dear fucking god.

Bc when has thor ever showed an interest in curbing anything loki has ever wanted or done

#thor has to get married at some point but i really dont envy the poor woman he eventually shackles to the position of queen #like just openly blantantly he doesnt love her as much as he does loki; he doesnt listen to her as much as he does loki #the fights they would have had about thor disregarding her opinions and priorities in favour of Loki's #and loki just ......the bitterest and most resentful version of himself #hatred for the woman who is in the spot that he -- by all rights and practicality -- occupies #to be fair i think Loki would have stuck around a couple of years after Thor became king and then fuckin bailed to vanaheim #he's too proud to stick around watching himsef and Thor getting further and further from one another #it would hurt too much to watch thor getting swallowed alive by the layers & layers of responsibility til he couldn't recognise him anymore #until thor couldn't recognise himself anymore or see Loki for who he was #anyway fun thoughts #internal thor tag #the woman who agrees to marry thor? definitely not sif. #sif is way too aware of the psychosexual codependent fucking trash mess that is thor and loki's relationship #she grew up around it and was in the middle of it throughout most of her young adulthood #she has too much self respect to subject herself to a lifetime of that #she's already long gone and far away by the time the subject of thor's marriage comes up #if she's married it's been to a nice man who loves her more than she loves him #if she isn't its bc she's not sure if she really wants to be married #she's having a pretty good time being a free agent now that her brother baldr has grown up and inherited their father's house

[sylvies-kablooie]

okay i'm done now. bye.

thought rewatching episode 6 would help me get everything out of my system but now the fact that i have to wait 25 hours to see the start of what happens next is setting in and i need to fill that void with studying to try and deal.

#gesturing vaguely at my professors #how can i be expected to talk academia in these trying times #i'm so sorry to everyone i interact with for the next six weeks #i already warned all my friends they know what's coming #when s1 dropped it took me by surprise how much i loved the show so i've really never had a level compare it to #it wasn't like oh i'm so excited for loki #it just took me by force and has ran my brain since for 2 whole years #as many of the best things in life do #anyway off to while away the time taking notes #don't have too much fun without me on here!

[tyrannuspitch]

for the fic title thing:

only a monster (would bleed like this)

<3

-> send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i'd write for it! (*within ten working days.)

hi hello i have not actually forgotten about this! sorry i left it almost two weeks! i've never done this game before, and title-then-plot is the opposite of my usual creative process, so i found it surprisingly hard. so... unfortunately i still only sort of have an answer. prepare for a lot of maybes and vagueness and vibes.

here's what i originally started writing (which is okay analysis, but sits strictly within canon, and on its own would only produce maybe 400 words of character study, which even by my standards is not quite "a fic"):

okay i had to chew on this one a little because i have so many favourite characters with guilt complexes... but i think this one works best for loki. i feel like the core idea for loki re: this phrase is like... how guilt makes him worse. how seeing himself as a monster is a self-fulfilling prophecy. how he tries to "atone" for violence with even worse violence because his moral compass is just absolutely fucked. this is all especially relevant to thor 1. but also, beyond all this, it's fun to explore how the guilt begins with things he shouldn't feel guilty for at all. like, he feels guilty for having emotions and for being born. he interprets everything about himself through the lens of "weak" or "coward" or "failure" or "monster", even when you could never reasonably expect anything else.

and the vague direction i was going with that was like... loki's fraught relationship with his body. how he does literally hate the blood in his veins.

i know it's incredibly literal, but like... IF you put that man in a situation - say, a curse - that meant he was suddenly, unexpectedly, both badly injured and jotun-looking... i think panic/self-loathing/disgust over looking jotun would win out over his already weak survival instinct, and he would have a visceral, *violent* DO NOT TOUCH ME reaction to anyone trying to help him. which would not be helped by the jotun frost-touch thing, which i maintain is not permanent... but which loki definitely doesn't know how to turn off. (but once he realises *that's* happening he might actually use it to try and drive people (okay, thor) away and prove his ~monsterhood~... and he might miscalculate and do more severe damage than he intended to.)

however... it is bothering me quite a lot, given the prompt, that i can't work out how to fit the guilt-for-not-being-worse thing in here. we have internalised space racism, and we have regular guilt for hurting people you care about, but where is the rancid ideology... where is the deliberate harm to others... where is the *coldness*...

but maybe that's a problem to work out if and only if i actually decided to write the damn thing. maybe it would solve itself if i found some context to put it in. idk. hmm.

ANYWAY. that's as far as i got. started making it, had a breakdown, bon appetit?

#space viking tag #my writing #ask memes #i tried :( #thank you anyway <3 <3 <3 #this also kept pinging the part of my brain that offers existing WIPs every time i try to come up with a new one #with one in which thor interrupts loki during a suicide attempt and loki. tries to kill him. for trying to save him #(but also for regular fratricide reasons) #(thor dying isn't quiiite the primary aim but loki's willing to risk it to drive him away. and he's desperate. and angry. it's complicated) #however that fic also has a lot of other stuff going on bc it's a modern AU and thor pov and stuff #really it's an attempt to transpose the climax of thor 1 into a universe without planet-destroying doomsday devices #and um. it's kind of interesting/funny. that i looked at this prompt and went AH PERFECT. #and then actually really struggled bc i JUST wanted to write thor 1 again. rip #meta #s: fandom #ch: loki #th: monsterhood #th: ethnicity #th: honour + villainy
