stopped reading a fic just there because it was insisting that thor & co went on many violent adventures pre-movies but of course left poor feeble loki behind cos he's a) feeble and b) blessed with a better understanding of imperialism than the rest, and there are a thousand other fics that also think this is obviously what happened but i think i may just have hit my limit on this one :\

#i know it's partly because if thor is Bad then we need loki to have not been on every one of those violent adventures but...#between this and Benevolent Pacifistic Jotuns i doubt many claims of “but *i* enjoy moral complexity!” in fandom #no you don't you just flipped the usual black-and-white morality in a way that doesn't even fit the story very well #FFS i've already got enough to deal with having to pretend that loki's significantly shorter than thor and as muscular as a stick!#and also he can't physically fight anyone when he clearly fucking does on multiple occasions #(but also he apparently SHOULD have won more fights in the loki series because He's Literally A God)#(ie he can fight if fighting is Good but not if it's Bad)#i'm also not a fan of the clear and rather unpleasant subtext in many fics that But Loki *Is* Better Than Those Ungrateful Peasants #*grabs u by the collar homoerotically* DO YOU BELIEVE IN MONARCHIES OR NOT SUSAN?!?! WHICH IS IT?!!#*stares at your mouth for a long long moment before turning away in disgust and also so you don't notice how aroused i am from our battle*
