Thank you for the tag, @nildespirandum !! I have a bunch of new songs to check out from this thread. Unfortunately I’m not cool enough to know how to link songs directly on tumblr from Spotify (??) and also being a parent means that my songs on repeat are more aligned with “Baby shark” and “Let it Go” than anything that might reflect my actual taste in music 😂

My top 5 songs on my On-Repeat playlist

@autumns-veil thank you for tagging me I love these 💜

^ I'm still half deaf from seeing these guys last night, they surpassed letlive for the most entertaining show I've ever been to!

Comment Bingo Trial Run

Very simple rules: connect 5 squares in a line by completing the task in each square

Very simple goals: encourage readers to comment on fics; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING

STEPS:

Download Bingo Card HERE (png) or HERE (jpg) or HERE (pdf)

Complete the tasks on the card, marking off each as you go, until you've completed 5 in a line (up, down, or diagonal; NO double-dipping; kudos ♥️ is a free space)

REBLOG your winning card (or list your filled squares) and tag me! Glory in your victory.

PROPOSED REWARD:

Bingo Badge!

@ihni and I thought it'd be cool to receive something commemorating a win (who gets bingo first isn't the point—ALL BINGOS are wins), in which case, there could be different tiers of achievement:

Bingo Badge (one line filled)

Double Bingo Badge (two lines filled)

ELITE Bingo Badge?? (ALL squares filled—for the ambitious, or at least for @ihni who will prob eat this card for breakfast)

I can make a badge with my limited Canva skills, but we thought it'd be cool if fandom artists came up with different designs? So if any artists wanna contribute, let me know.

If enough people are into this, I'm open to planning a more organized event, but figured this would be fun to try out for now.

Because I spent a lot of time yesterday icing my own “army” of gingerbread men (sans horns, sadly), I decided to dig up this holiday one shot for those who remember it or might be interested.

Happy Holidays!

Loki’s Present

A little (belated) holiday one-shot, thanks to the latest prompt from @lokis-library. Find the full collection on AO3.

Here is a little snippet from mine:

“Are these supposed to be me?” he asked, looking at the cookies with the icing helmets.

“Well, not you exactly. Do you like them?”

Loki cocked his head at them. “The horns aren’t big enough.”

You rolled your eyes. “Well I think they’re cute, just like you,” you said, giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek before picking one up and making it walk across the counter. “A little gingerbread Loki.” And then you recited, 

“Run, run, as fast as you can, 

You can’t catch me, 

I’m the gingerbread man.”

You laughed at your own silliness, but the sound died in your throat as you made eye contact with Loki.

“And what if,” he said, voice low and dangerous, “I can catch you?”

Instinct had you backing up, your body reacting to the predatory look he was giving you. His whole demeanor had changed, his head tilting forward and low, hungry eyes trained on you as he began to stalk.

You knew Loki would never hurt you, but a little spike of fear shot through you as you were reminded that despite how he looked, Loki was not, in fact, human. You swallowed hard as adrenaline flooded your system, bringing the warm flush of desire through your body as your eyes darted around the room. 

Loki had stopped moving, raising an eyebrow at you as if to say, “well?”

You ran.

Blessed to say, yes, yes indeed.

You ever read fanfic so god tier you have to wait for real life to load back in so you spend half the day doing tasks with that dead look in your eye, replaying all your favorite moments?

when loki stopped time, looked he who remains dead in the fucking eye and said 'what makes you think this is the first time we've had this conversation' it is so fucking badass it's beyond my comprehension

Just got back from seeing this. Yes.

Not Daredevil or Iron Fist-related, but I just wanted to give a little shout-out to The Marvels, which I just finally got back from seeing. It's really fun, the right amount of emotional, has badass fight scenes, Iman Vellani's Kamala is an absolute delight (Carol and Monica are excellent too, of course), and it contains possibly the greatest use of the Cats song "Memory" that I've ever seen. If anyone hasn't seen it yet or is on the fence, I recommend checking it out before it leaves theaters.

I love this take.

Loki’s costume at the end of S2E6 was perfect.

Yes, every part of it, down to those slippers.

And here’s my unsolicited (and delayed) thoughts on the matter.

First, let’s talk about his robe. Not only was it utterly beautiful, down to the draping and the deep, rich shade of green (and I mean come on, would we expect anything less?), its style was incredibly symbolic.

If you look at previous Loki ensembles, especially the ones that include a horned helmet, there is an air of grandeur and finery about them. The exquisitely stitched, buttery leather; the shiny gold trimmings and metal armor accents; the dramatic, billowing capes and overcoats. Even the silhouette of these looks is broad and structured — one might even say severe. Everything about these past looks screams “Look at me; I’m important” and reinforces Tony’s own observation in The Avengers that Loki is a “full-tilt diva” — he longs for the respect and attention that he deserves (and has been denied almost all of his life) and that longing is reflected in his clothing. They are reminiscent of the royal palace in which he was raised. They allow him to be battle-ready, because he’s had to fight and claw for every scrap of love and attention he’s managed to get. They represent a broken prince. A warrior cloaked in royalty. A would-be-king.

Now, compare that to his robe in Loki S2E6. It isn’t flashy. It has a soft silhouette. The shade of green is deeper and richer than we’ve seen; more earthy. An earthy shade of green which, in my opinion, is a nod to Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree that he will weave the branches of the multiverse into. The gold trimming across the front is subtle and understated - I even missed it at first and didn’t realize there was any gold trimming on the robe at all until I got a closer look later. It is simple. The draping is reminiscent of the robes worn by Buddhist monks. His robe reflects a Loki that has more wisdom and humility, and who has realized that being a good king — a proper god — means he will spend his life in service to others. It is the robe of a man who is confident and self-assured and knows exactly what kind of god he needs to be.

Now let’s talk about the slippers. I noticed that they got quite a bit of flack immediately after the finale aired. And I get it — they’re an odd choice, especially when we are so accustomed to the dramatic boots and finely-crafted and statement-making dress shoes he typically dons. For similar reasons as the robe, they are symbolic and fitting for Loki’s development into a wiser, more humble character. Don’t get me wrong, these loafers are still impeccably stylish, and no doubt they are of the finest craftsmanship, because this is still Loki we are talking about here. But they have a purpose, and that purpose is to get him to his final destination. These simple slippers barely even protect Loki’s feet, showing us a kind of vulnerability that we’re unaccustomed to seeing from Loki. He isn’t guarded in this moment; he’s open, connected to his purpose, and sure of himself. The shoes aren’t for battle; they aren’t meant to impress. They are meant to serve.

Now, about what is, quite possibly, my favorite feature of the costume. The horns. These iconic horns which we’ve associated with Loki from the very beginning take on an entirely reimagined look in the finale. First of all, they are bigger than any set we’ve seen resting upon Loki’s brow. So big, in fact, that they weren’t actually a physical part of the costume Tom Hiddleston wore. So big that they would likely hinder his performance if he actually had to bear their weight on his head.

In addition to their size, the horns are made of the same temporal-infused material from which both HWR’s talisman and the citadel at the end of time are constructed. Gone are the opulent golden horns that glisten and shine with the grandeur of royal finery. These horns are dark and heavy. They symbolize the unfathomable weight of the burden that Loki bears in his godly endeavor to save the multiverse. The golden temporal material that runs throughout the horns like veins is reminiscent, to me, of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken things with gold. And in a way, Loki is a broken thing that has been healed and mended throughout his personal journey of self-acceptance and friendship, and is now more beautiful than he ever has been. More humble. More selfless. More godly.

In addition to the horns, the cape, too, is the largest we’ve seen Loki wear. And while at first, this dramatically oversized cape may seem to stand in opposition to the humility that the rest of the outfit encapsulates, it works. It works because, like the horns, it is symbolic of the burden Loki has chosen to bear. This cape would be unbearably heavy; it would make even the most basic movement difficult. And on top of its sheer size, his cape even becomes torn into strips that are woven into the timelines themselves, literally securing his burden — his service to the multiverse — around his neck.

Lastly, I want to talk about the way this outfit manifested. There’s been a common thread throughout this discussion about the humility and selflessness that this ensemble puts on display. And while that’s true, we’re talking about a relative level of humility and selflessness, when compared to Loki’s previous tendencies. This is still Loki we’re talking about here. He’s got a flair for the dramatic. He’s nothing if not intentional about the way he presents himself. And the way he marched down that gangway like it was his own personal runway, while his clothing fell away in shreds and tatters to reveal this completely fresh but familiar look, was completely on-brand for him. It was theatrical. It was glorious.

His outfit at the end featured accessories that were heavy and larger than life. Those parts were a burden.

It wasn’t short on the style and drama that we’re so accustomed to seeing from Loki. It was glorious.

And every part of it, down to his humble shoes, was fit for purpose.

One look at this finale costume and you know, without doubt, that Loki is burdened with glorious purpose.

A/N: If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading my unsolicited thoughts on this beautiful piece of costume design! Also, apologies for the delay in posting. I know some of you have been told this post was coming since the night the finale aired, weeks ago. Thank you for your patience with me as I gathered my thoughts and found the time to organize them and type them out.
