although. that said. a little while ago i finally got curious enough to read some d*rcy/loki fanfic, and i truly couldn't buy it most of the time. that character combo DID feel kind of inherently OOC. but maybe i just needed a slower burn to be convinced, idk

#nothing against d*rcy to be clear #she's just SUCH an everywoman and he is SUCH a snob #hard to believe that he would find her particularly interesting. also hard to believe that she wouldn't have the self-preservation to #- as she would put it -#nope the fuck out of there #also people like to self-insert with d*rcy and like. in the everywoman sense i don't really mind that #but i don't enjoy when characters are just mouthpieces for the writer's views on canon lol. immersion-breaking!#ALSO i feel like half the appeal of d*rcy should BE her everywomanness but like. in the sense of being totally unfamiliar with asgard?#she experiences almost the entire plot second-hand. she doesn't even know what loki looks like!!!#there's a lot of storytelling potential in choosing her as your POV bc she is kind of inherently an outsider POV #and she also seems like she would be pretty sceptical and talk shit about everything she learns as she learns it #almost d*niel m*lloy-esque lol #but a lot of people skip over that side of things entirely to just make her the hypercompetent voice of reason who can fix him :/#also i feel like this pairing could really lend itself to dark humour #but people generally seem to go for a light fluffy/cracky vibe. alas
