*holding a baguette like a microphone* Mr. Cryptid are you aware there's a new Walten Files episode out?
Yes, I saw it ^^ Martin blew me away with his animations
This week alone has given me material for both Soldered Wires and The Graveyard Shift (*especially* The Graveyard Shift), but like a cartoon, they piled on one after another right as I started work on a couple of projects and it's hard choosing what to work on first with my ADHD
Rest assured, content shall come soon!

Real shit? I wish I was half as mean as people think I am. Like, people treat me like I'm some big bad bully and a villain meanwhile I'm constantly agonizing over how to say things in a way that makes people not feel attacked or judged. Even though, nobody has ever given me that same level of consideration. I've said it before but it is my inability to be nasty to anyone no matter how aggravated or upset they make me that will ultimately be my downfall because nobody thinks they can hurt me.
The shit that people say to me? Family? Strangers? You'd think I legit just didn't have feelings fvgbvfdcs

DF: Not even 24 hours later and I have 6 asks in the box XDDDDD. Well I suppose I'm glad you are all interested. And some of these questions, I think Mayor would have... An interesting time answering.
Ask box is closed for now (for my own sanity) but I swear that it will be open again... Maybe Wednesday?? Depending where you live, that might also be Tuesday.
Thanks for everything guys! If you had a question please know that I'm sorry and that you still have a chance :)))

Hello! I wanted to ask why tom was acting clingy with Draco after having found out he’s Draco’s boggart, the clinical scrutiny as he watched Draco undress, was he compensating in a way?
Just to clarify—he wasn't 'acting clingy', objectively speaking, but rather relative to his usual aloofness. Tom has no instinct for physical affection, so most of it is left up to Draco to initiate, which is why Draco ends up with such a sideways misunderstanding of their relationship. Tom spends a lot of time mirroring and imitating behaviour he has seen, so he's obviously out of his depth in a romantic relationship.
Tom doesn't feel guilt or the need to compensate, precisely, but he is feeling a combo of unease, frustration and helplessness. He doesn't feel ashamed of or responsible for his future, but he dislikes the lack of control he feels over a facet of Draco's relationship with him. Control is a big thing for him, hence why he adds wards to their door. It's an irrational action. There's nothing to protect against, but it helps him feel like he's doing something.
In general, when writing Bluebeard, I always thought of Tom as someone who doesn't so much care about Draco's feelings, as he cares about how Draco makes him feel. So when Draco's upset, Tom isn't getting what he wants out of their relationship. Thus, he goes about getting Draco back to the state in which Tom enjoys his company. Sounds pretty cold but functionally it's the same thing as being a good boyfriend 😂. Not to say he has zero empathy for Draco, but it comes and goes in little flickers. His brain just works different.
Tom's 'clinical scrutiny' is really just his thinking face hahaha. Draco's a bit of a prude and feeling vulnerable because of the circumstances. Tom is thinking about how to fix the situation, drawing on his very limited life experience. It didn't make it into the fic because Tom never would have spoken about it, but he does have a few fleeting memories of having his hair washed by older girls at the orphanage when he was very small that he associates some degree of comfort and safety with. So that is what he draws on.

Since I see a lot of reactions on articles/quotes from the Loki crew and cast, here are some general reminders when it comes to stuff like this;
There are so many people working on a show/movie and everyone make decisions creating the final product we watch. Of course they do a lot of work to unite their visions and make it cohesive, but "contradictions" may still happen. We often talk about the obvious people behind a show, the actors, writers and directors, but there are also costume designers, composers and editors, etc. All of these people can have different perspectives and pull things in different directions, that just sort of comes with the nature of making such a big show.
And then it comes to producing a show itself. Productions are messy. Things get reworked on the spot because what might've worked on the page didn't work in practice, props break and need to be changed, actors can't be in for the day, etc. All of these affect the final products in chaotic ways. Sometimes unpredictable things like this may get in the way of or improve the story.
And finally articles/interviews purpose is to provide this one specific person's perspective and promote the show, or engage fans.
So take these things with a grain of salt. You don't need to base your entire view on the show on statements from cast/crew. Is the line less meaningful because it was improvised? Should we consider an episode to be less canon because it was apparently rewritten a lot from its original state?
Your fan experience will likely be healthier and more fun if you try to mainly engage with the art you have in front of you. If you read quotes from creators and feel frustrated that they are inconsistent with the art - first of all, art is subjective, it just comes with the territory. But my main point of the post is that even if a person is working on the show, it doesn't mean that their view is 100% represented within the text. You don't need to go full Death of the Author here, but you gotta remember there isn't just one author and that author's intent at work here, there is a production, with all that comes with it. And honestly? That's what makes it interesting. All of these visions coming together to create art that we get to take part in, and whatever vision we're getting as a viewer might be something completely unique.
