Unsolicited Loki Meta, Part 2 (with a side order of narrative theory)

I’ve been reading a lot of meta about the Loki series over the past few days, and the reactions on both ends of the spectrum are pretty strong. And let’s fact it, as fans of gender-fluid or queer characters—which includes Loki, but also several other franchises (*cough cough* looking squint-eyed at you, Sherlock)--we have been mightily abused over the past few years. Many of us are all viewing the series through the cynical lens of narrative betrayal, and are either desperate to see any Loki content as a blessing from above, or cynically waiting to be sucker punched by the evil Marvel overlords.

I admit, I cannot watch this show without both of those impulses in the back of my head. I really *want* the show to redeem itself, and so I may just be looking for ways to excuse their sloppy story telling, true.

The MCU, as a whole, sacrificed character development altogether in the second half of their movie series in favor of unnecessary battle scenes and plot twists. I would argue, in fact, that the last of the MCU movies to privilege character over spectacle were The Winter Soldier and The Black Panther. The sacrifice of character development came largely because the franchise made a deliberate decision to follow a specific narrative structure that depends heavily on the ideological foundation of traditional masculinity—physical strength, personal agency, an unwillingness to compromise, skill in combat, willingness to initiate aggression to solve problems, a world view that equates vengeance with justice and privileges open confrontation over “back-door dealing”--a formula that the franchise employs regardless of whether its hero is male or female. In service of this ideological foundation, the narrative subordinates all other social roles to support the development of the dominant masculine ideal.

{more under the cut}

The MCU (and the movie industry as a whole, really) has no idea what to do with a character that doesn’t fit the standard narrative pattern: “strong person who fits masculine ideal (even if the person is female—Natasha Romanov, Carol Danvers, Pepper Potts when she comes raging out of the fire to smash Kilian) is flawed and will reach his/her great potential when someone s/he loves dies a horrible death.”

If you look at the franchise, a sympathetic character dies (is fridged) in nearly every single one of the movies—Yinsen, Loki (functionally), Coulson (functionally), Pietro, Frigga, T’chaka, Odin and Heimdall, Loki (again), Everyone Who Gets Snapped, etc, etc, etc. And the deaths of those characters catalyze the epiphanies that enable the “heroes” to fully accept their proper place as Ideal Masculine Defender (again whether the character is male or female).

This is not new. It’s a narrative device which, in fact, is true for a lot of Disney’s animated films (you might have noticed that there are a lot of dead mothers in Disney movies).

Gender-ambiguous and traditional female social roles do not fit this narrative pattern. You cannot squash negotiation and compromise into this structure. Neither will a character fit if s/he prefers subterfuge over explosions. It goes without saying that nurturance, healing, and support are right out. The MCU wants Achilles, not Odysseus, and Penelope is only useful if she dies, rather than outsmarts a banquet hall of suitors for ten years.

So what hope is there for Loki, whose characterization rests on his ambiguity? I really hope that the show doesn’t flatten him out in order to squash him into the current MCU narrative structure.

Some things signal hope for this.

Although it gets dressed up in a 1950s, cartoon vibe (which very much softens its threat), the TVA looks very much to me like the embodiment of the insidious kind of evil that comes from a fascist bureaucracy. Many of the people caught up in it (like the guy who wants a signature and has a cute cat, like the guy who asks whether Loki is a robot, and like Casey) are “just doing their jobs” and don’t think about the horribleness of what the end result of their jobs is. The is the “benign face of evil” that permits any fascist organization to thrive.

The not-so-benign face shows up with the hunter who, from the very start, delights in the ability to inflict pain--slowing down time so Loki feels the pain of the blow even longer than he would in real time, and snickering in his helplessness when he tries to use magic and fails. These are the dark underside of fascism--the SS enforcers that rough up the undesirables (in this case, the variants), and enjoys the power over those whom they see as less than fully human.

I hope that the show means to use this 1984-vibe to highlight Loki’s non-stereotypically-masculine strengths--his intellect, his love of mischief, his loyalty to those who are loyal to him, his ability to solve problems through the back channels rather than by Thor-like confrontation.

And yeah, some folks have complained that Loki’s breakdown in episode 1 comes pretty quickly, and through some fairly reprehensible gaslighting (and careful omission of details on Mobius’s part). I agree that his methods are cruel and manipulative. As for their effectiveness, well, I think it’s fair to point out that Loki has had a pretty shitty day--a pretty shitty couple of years, in fact, which makes him particularly susceptible to this sort of manipulation.

Again, I am hoping that this set up will lead to a more genuine self-awareness and acceptance as Loki re-learns his own strengths without Odin’s A+ parenting to undermine it. Loki needs to learn to live with himself. I’m hoping the series gives him the time and space (pun intended) to do this.

Astral Pt. 8.1 (Loki x Reader)

I know the gif kinda spoils what’s gonna happen but I hope the build up is still enough to keep you surprised and happy XD I couldn't hold it back im just so excited they kiss I had to let you all read it 🥲

After dinner the entire team broke up and went to their respected rooms, leaving you and Loki in the living room together. Thor obviously wanted to speak to the two of you but you’re pretty sure it’s Natasha that convinces him that you two need your privacy for now. You’ll have to get her something, as thanks.

Loki takes both your hands into his as you both sit on the couch. You’re sitting apart from each other still finding things to be tense between you both.

“I’m the cause of this?” Loki asks running his thumbs over your bruises, looking over your hands.

“No,” You grimace when Loki squints at you, “Maybe. Yes. Kind of.” You blabber out.

Loki hums then his hands flow with green magic and in an instant the magic disappears along with your bruises.

“Thanks.” You say. Loki reluctantly lets your hands fall into your lap and he crosses his arms across his chest. More in a way that he probably feels vulnerable right now than anger or trying to close himself up to you.

You’re both awkwardly silent. Both of you start to talk at the same time.

“So we-”

“I believe-”

Both of you go quiet to let the other speak, realize what’s going on and chuckle together. You shoulders stop from tensing and you bite your lip, raising a brow at Loki. Loki gives a closed mouthed smile and opens his arms. You practically throw yourself into him and hug him tight. You’re never letting him go again. Ever.

“I missed you.” You whisper into his neck. Loki’s hand finds its way up to your head and plays with your hair like old times.

“And me, you.” Loki whispers, kissing your head then resting his face on your head. His hand pulls at your strands for a bit then he just rests his hand on your head, holding you.

There’s a question bugging you that you finally ask, timidly because it’s probably still a sore spot for Loki. “So, if Thor is king, how is he allowed to be here for so long?”

Loki hums thoughtfully, “He isn’t. He declined the crown.”

You pull away a bit to look at Loki in the eyes. “What?”

“Thor had a plan to attack the Jötunn, so we went and when we came back fa-the Allfather banished him, here, I’m sure you remember?”

You nod, remembering the reports coming in through Coulson that Thor had been in New Mexico. If you recalled correctly, Loki had sent a machine by the name of, The Destroyer, to kill Thor too...

“Well, the crown fell to me when the Allfather fell into Odin’s Sleep.”

Your eyes widen but the look on Loki’s face isn’t one of joy so you frown. Loki is looking into space, lost in thought, his hand moving down a bit to cup your neck and trace shapes into your skin.

“There’s something you’re not telling me...” You whisper suspiciously.

Loki’s eyes come back to yours, clouds of despair in them, but he blinks and it’s gone. “A story for another day.”

You take a deep breath but don’t have the heart to drag it out of him right now so you leave the topic behind and tell him about yourself instead.

“I’ve developed my powers, more so than what you last saw.”

Loki raises his eyebrows in question so you settle your head back in his neck and tell him. “I can control people’s minds for a bit, it takes a lot to do it for too long, honestly, and I can plant thoughts in people’s minds, see their memories.” You go quiet for a second thinking of what else you’ve learned, “I can shape-shift, only to other people right now trying to turn into an animal is really hard for some reason.”

“It’s because you’re not used to being in their form, you’ve only ever known the humanoid form so it takes a lot to grasp being in a different body.” Loki explains.

You gasp, “Can you change into an animal?”

Loki chuckles at your wonderment. At heart you still had that child-like fascination he’s always adored.

“Yes but it takes a lot of magic, I only do it when necessary.”

You hum thoughtfully, finding your hands had found their way to his leather and fidgeting with it. Pulling, tugging, rubbing.

“Oh!” You exclaim.

And I can do this. You say in Loki’s mind, pulling back from his hug, reluctantly, to see his facial expression. Loki looks pleased and shocked at the same time.

I was wondering when you’d develop telepathy.

Smirking, you think of holding hands in an image which Loki got because he reaches for your hands and holds them in his, shaking his head smiling.

“You can’t get enough of me, can you sweetheart?” Loki says regarding all the physical touching, smiling harder at the flush in your cheeks.

“I missed you ok,” You admonish, “I don’t see you complaining but I can stop-”

You begin to pull your hands away but Loki grabs your hands back and gives you a look of warning, as if daring you to stop touching him. You smile inwardly.

Instead you push Loki back into the couch, manhandling him (He snickers when you huff at him for not helping you move his body) until he’s laying in a good position for you to cuddle with him. You the little spoon, sigh contently.

Loki wraps his arms around your waist, pulls you into him as much as possible, then rests his cheek on yours.

You feel completely stupid after you say it, you’re not even sure why you blurted it out in the first place, but you randomly exclaim, “I’m not dating anyone.”

Ok, so, maybe you do know why you blurted it out but your mind is catching up to what you’ve just done. You hold your breath and get tense.

“Is that so?” Loki says, beating around the bush because he’s enjoying your nervousness for him.

You’re not sure what to do so you begin babbling (and you think maybe you’ve been around Tony too much), “I haven’t dated anybody. Haven’t had the time. I might have crushed a bit on some people-” Loki’s arms hug you tighter to him, “-but I never initiated anything with them just kind of kept to myself.”

“Why’s that?” Loki breath ghosts over your face.

You turn in place, Loki’s arms giving you room to do so, and when you face the God you bite your lip. Loki’s hand comes up, his thumb pulling your lip from your teeth, his eyes stuck on your pink lips. His hand still rests on your chin.

“Why?” He whispers.

You switch between looking at his eyes and lips and say, “Because I want someone else.”

Loki practically purrs the next question, his lips twitching at the edges.

“Who?”

You smile. “You. Asshole.”

Loki chuckles then closes the space between you both. When your lips meet it’s almost overwhelming. Your stomach is fluttering and you literally think you can feel sparks when your lips meet. With your eyes closed you focus on his mouth and just go with the flow because it all feels so natural, to reach up with your right hand and tangle your fingers in his hair, to tilt your head so he has better, deeper access to your mouth, to open your mouth at his inquisitive tongue. As Loki’s tongue explores your mouth you can taste him it’s a sweet taste it doesn’t taste like anything you know of, it just tastes like Loki.

For a second your tongues battle for dominance and you let out a gasp as his tongue dominates yours. One of his hands wraps around your waist and pulls you into him, the other hand strokes your hair, occasionally tugging at your strands as he loses himself in you.

When you both need to breathe you pull apart. Opening your eyes you watch Loki keep his closed but he has a ghost of a smile on his lips. Slowly his eyes open too, looking into yours with desire. The hand that had been stroking your hair goes back and hooks with his other hand to wrap around your waist.

You’re too scared to break the silence that has formed so Loki does instead.

“I’m assuming that was your first kiss?” He asks.

You can feel your face heat up. “Why was it ba-”

Loki pulls your lips to his again, this time without tongue. When he pulls back he breathes out, “No, darling, I merely want to confirm I was your first.”

You nod at him, your eyes roaming his face to keep as a memory forever.

Conversation

The Avengers and Their Favorite Reality TV show(s):

Steve: Steve is trying to adjust to life in the 21st century, and in order to do that it would be easiest for him to learn from the TV. He is SHOCKED at the content seen on shows the other avengers watch. He finds himself watching a lot of challenge based tv shows. (He loves cupcake wars) Chopped is one of his favorites and so is Cake Boss. He loves watching celebrity interviews as well, it helps him get acquainted with todays culture.

Tony: Tony walked in on Pepper and Natasha watching Real House Wives and needless to say, he was so entertained. This then moved onto him watching all of the Real House Wives spin offs, Mob Wives, etc. Their rich lifestyle is relatable to him and he cant help but yell at the TV (with a drink in hand) in encouragement when the wives argue. Tony also LOVES pawn stars.

Natasha: If you watch TLC on sundays, you know the line up, its 90 day fiancé, sMothered, Love after lockup, etc. Natasha cant get enough of those shows. She even has a secret reddit account to keep up with the drama and to comment on the dumb antics of the shows subjects.

Clint: While being Nats closest friend, Clint gets in on the drama. However his favorite show to watch is Love After Lockup. His wife once walked by and said "Ugh this show is so trashy how could you wa-" "ITS WHAT?"

Thor: Thors favorite reality shows are Dance Moms, 90 day Fiance and Keeping up with the Kardashians. When Thor started visiting Earth more he inquired as to what the culture was and began watching TV. He then fell into a rabbit hole of trashy reality shows that he finds HILARIOUS because "Humans are so tiny!!"

Loki: Loki, like Thor, thinks humans are tiny and a bit pea brained. While bored on Earth he decides to turn on the TV. "What in bloody hell is Bad Girls Club?" He loved it. the cat fights, the bitchiness, the backstabbing, EVERYTHING. It was so dumb but entertaining to him. He also will watch ancient aliens and argues their points with his many years of life experience.

Sam: Sams guilty pleasure is Jersey Shore, he even goes as far as wanting to see Pauly D live. It reminds him of his party days and he eventually gets Bucky to watch it with him.

Bucky: "Sam for the 5th time I don't want to watch Jersey Shore." *Is completely enthralled in Jwoww fighting Angelina 15 minutes later* Since Bucky is from the 40s he's a bit confused at the content at first but eventually finds it entertaining. Bucky also loves watching how they make swords on Forged in Fire and he watches pawn stars on Saturday mornings with Tony. (He might even recognize a few items from the 40s)

Peter: Peter and MJ watch the bachelor and bachelorette and have bets on whos goes home. He also loves watching Ancient Aliens and other science TV shows. He also watches kitchen nightmares on youtube, Peter has seen a lot as Spiderman but the one thing that will always scare him is an angry Gordon Ramsey.

Wanda: Wanda loves wholesome reality shows like Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings etc. She also enjoys the entire Investigation Discovery channel and will try to figure out who the killer is before they do. She also has a soft spot for home improvement shows that she watches with vision.

Vision: Vision doesn't watch much TV but when he does its with Wanda. He enjoys watching how its made, and all the home improvement shows you can think of. He often will fantasize about doing the same improvements in his future house with wanda.

Pietro: Pietro loves spooky TV. Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, The Dead Files. Be prepared to hear what Tony calls "Girly" screams coming from Pietros room on Friday nights when he binge watches these shows.

Bruce: Bruce LOVES science shows, its common knowledge. He watches The Unexplained, Ancient Aliens and How the Universe Works. He often finds himself arguing the TV in his head. When Bruce isn't in his science mood he enjoys Cake Boss, Married at First Sight and some of the shows Natasha watches.

Nick: Nicks guilty pleasure is early 2000s reality shows, they remind him of the "Good old days." He loves watching re-runs of Flavor of Love, I Love New York, Charm School, Next, etc. He also STANS Tiffany "New York" Pollard.

Coulson: We all know Coulson watches Dr. Phil when he gets home. We also know he loves the more mundane TV shows like extreme couponing, my strange addiction, etc. He even gossips with Natasha about 90 day fiancé from time to time. He also is a big fan of Americas Next Top Model.

If you’re like me, you’re following the bushfires in Australia with an overwhelming feeling of devastation. I’m over here in rural Missouri, and I have never seen a disaster on the scale of what’s currently destroying an entire continent, ecosystem, and countless lives.

I’m not able to personally donate right now - I have $12 in my bank account exactly. But here’s something I can do:

I can write.

So, from now until 11:59 pm EST on January 27th, I am opening ficlets and drabbles for donations to a charity (of your choosing) geared towards helping Australia and bushfire relief.

To get a fic:

Reblog this post (or send an ask or a message, but reblogs will boost and get more attention) with how much you’d like to donate for how many words of fic you want.

The suggested donation is $1 per 100 words - so $7 for 700, etc. If you’d like to donate more for a lesser amount of words, I certainly won’t stop you!

I will only be writing short fics for this, so I’ll be capping each fic at 5,000 words (give or take the muse, of course). As of right now, these will remain open until January 27th with a cap of 50,000 words total (in addition to Harringrove for Australia). If it turns out I have spare time and these are popular, I may extend the deadline and word-cap.

After I have responded to your reblog/ask/message and given you the go-ahead, please make your donation, take a screenshot, and mark out any personal or identifying information you don’t want me to see. Then submit it to my blog.

Once I’ve got your submitted proof, I will start writing! Fics for this will be completed and posted on ao3 by March 14th, 2020. (Though honestly, I’ll probably start working on them immediately.)

Where can I donate? Some great places to donate can be found at the following links (which I stole from the Harringrove for Australia post):

https://gothyringwald.tumblr.com/post/190091494330/harringrove-for-australia-where-to-donate-to

https://www.redcross.org.au/campaigns/disaster-relief-and-recovery-donate

https://donate.vinnies.org.au/appeals-nsw/vinnies-nsw-bushfire-appeal-nsw

What fandoms and pairings? For specific info, you can check out my “writing” page, but here’s a quick overview (I say quick like I didn’t just copy and paste some of this in). For this, I am not taking RPF prompts. I am also happy to write gen fics in any of these fandoms, as well as the ones on the writing page but not listed here:

Stranger Things - Harringrove (please look at Harringrove for Australia if you’re interested in this!), but I will also write Hoppingrove and Nancy/Steve/Jonathan (with or without Billy).

Teen Wolf - Sterek and Steter are my main offerings here, but I’m also good with writing Stiles with Scott, Jackson, Lydia, Chris, Isaac, and any combination of the characters listed.

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series: Kirk/Bones, Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Spock/Bones

Leverage: Eliot/Parker/Hardison

Merlin: Merlin/Arthur

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Steve/Bucky, Clint/Bucky, Clint/Natasha, Clint/Coulson, Clint/Darcy, Steve/Tony, Loki/Darcy, Bucky/Darcy, Bucky/Steve/Darcy, Bucky/Steve/Tony, Harley Keener/Peter Parker - I’m also open to mixing and matching here!

Supernatural - I’m pretty old-school here, in that I fell out of the show hardcore in like season 6. If you’re looking for Destiel, I’ve got you. Looking for some old-fashioned fic like Jess Lives and becomes a hunter, I’m good for that too.

What do you write? Everything! Fluff, smut, humor, angst, hurt/comfort - I write it all. I always try to have a happy ending (or at least a hopeful one, not a bad one). I’m accepting prompts, but I do reserve the right to change a prompt or reject it if I’m not comfortable with the content, so please make sure you talk to me about it before you donate! If you’d like smut, please be over the age of 18. If you just want a fic and don’t have a prompt, that’s fine - you can just pick a fandom or pairing, or just say “hey, here’s $5, write something!”

Additional Information: You can find my ao3 here. If you would like to be anonymous, please just let me know in your message or ask.

The Tower: The Queen of Asgard - 16

The Tower: The Queen of Asgard An Avengers Fanfic

Series Masterlist PREVIOUS //

Pairing: Avengers x OFC, Bruce Banner x Bucky Barnes x Clint Barton x Wanda Maximoff x Steve Rogers x Natasha Romanoff x Tony Stark x Thor x Sam Wilson x OFC (Elly Cooper)

Word Count: 3613

Warnings:

Synopsis: The twins are now three and while the Avengers know that Clint and Thor are the biological father’s none of them know or care which blond, blue-eyed baby is related to which man. When Riley gets the power to control wind and it becomes evident that she is the heir to the Asgardian throne, Elly, Steve, Thor, and Tony take the twins to Asgard to train her.

Not every Asgardian is happy with their king’s choice of consort, nor the impurity of the heir’s blood. While others expect Thor to make things more official. What’s clear is, the role of Queen of Asgard is not easily filled.

Author’s Note: Written with @avengerscompound (insert witty comment here.)

Chapter 16: Reunited

Our moment of relaxed contentment didn’t last too long. By the end of the same day, Thor had come clean about the Fenestare, which had led to a long argument about whether it was okay to even participate in a battle to the death, how dangerous it was, and how it put the rest of us at risk too.

Tony wanted to leave. Even the tiniest risk to the kids’ safety and he was on edge. And so far there had been a lot of those. Steve wasn’t so sure if we should leave. If Thor was so determined to do this, he wanted to be there to support him. He was very vocal about the fact that he did not think Thor should do it on moral terms.

Nothing was changing Thor’s mind though, so we spent the following day, highly strung as he prepared for the fight. Tony dragged Steve to the lab to finish the bots and Thor had made me and the kids follow him around all day. They were tired and cranky as we went back to his royal chambers. Pietro was curled up in my arms and Riley was throwing herself around in Thor’s rather dramatically when Sif stormed in.

“Why was I informed, immediately upon arrival that there is going to be a Fenestare?” She asked, squaring up to Thor and poking him in the chest. “It’s like this place doesn’t function when I’m not here.”

I couldn’t even pretend I cared about what Sif had to say about the Fenestare. I was too excited she was back. If she was back it meant the others might be here too. “Did you bring them?”

“Yes,” Sif said. “I took them to your chambers. They are settling in.”

I whined and looked at Thor. He handed me Riley and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Volstagg, could you please escort the Lady Elise to the others.”

“Of course,” Volstagg said and gestured to the door.

“And I will stay here and attempt to slap some sense into our King,” Sif said.

I followed Volstagg down to our chambers carrying both the kids and when I stepped inside I found them all looking high strung and pacing the room.

“You’re going to need to explain what’s going on fast,” Wanda said. “I’m starting to lose them.”

“Hey, hey, hey,” I said putting the kids down. They both immediately started bouncing and jogging on the spot like they wanted to run to the rest of their family but couldn’t decide who they should run to first. “Why do you guys always have to go so negative?”

“Because an alien shows up, demands we all come here, and the mind-reader immediately jumps on board,” Natasha said folding her arms in front of her. “That’s suspicious.”

“Can one of you indicate to your kids to come to them, they’re about to explode,” I said. “The rest of you take a seat.”

“Who wants Daj?” Wanda asked crouching down and opening her arms. Riley charged over to her and slammed into her. I crouched and pointed to Clint and Pietro ran over to him and immediately started scaling him.

Almost everyone took a seat in the couches. Bucky, Natasha, and Bruce couldn’t seem to settle though, and the three of them kept pacing the room.

“Okay… so, there’s been a little descension here that Thor was unaware of the extent of. A section of his people believe he was too young for the job, but originally there was no other choice but him or Loki and he was the preference. So they would make him jump through hoops and he’d do it. Only now a faction claiming there are two older siblings. They believe that the firstborn son should be ruling and not Thor and are causing some trouble. A few things have happened.” I explained as I sat forward on the couch.

“There’s a what?” Natasha asked.

“Brother. Though there has been no actual sign of him. There is a claim he was kidnapped and raised by the rulers of one of the other realms in the hope to put him in charge of Asgard and then they would rule the nine realms.” I answered.

“You said some things happened?” Bucky asked. He was flexing his metal hand and looked as close to being the soldier as I’d seen him in a long time.

“There was an attempt to kidnap and murder Riley and I,” I said. “A guard and a woman from that other realm attacked us.”

“And where are they now?” Bucky asked in a completely flat and rather terrifying tone.

“In prison. Loki has been dealing with them.”

“I want to see them.” Bucky seethed looking at the door.

“That is not a good idea,” Loki said, coming into the room followed by Fandral.

“It’s also not why you’re here,” I added.

Bucky wheeled back to me. “What? There’s more?”

“Yeah,” I said with a nod. “It’s about the hoops he’s having to jump. Right now he’s preparing for a fight to the death he has to participate in. Though that is also not why you’re here. When we got here, we were almost forced to … well, marry him. He has to be bonded with someone to rule if he has a child. Without telling him or us they were going to force the ceremony. He managed to get them to give us two weeks. I couldn’t do it without you guys at least knowing about it. But… and I guess I’m proposing for him right now. He’d like it to be all of you.”

“A what?” Natasha asked. “And a what?”

“Deathmatch. Wedding.” I said counting them off on my fingers. “And -” I took a breath and huffed, blowing my hair off my brow. “- the thing about the wedding is… it will mean our life expectancies change. They will all be pulled in line with Thor’s.”

“Can you boil that down just a wee bit for my dumb brain?” Clint asked as he cuddled with Pietro.

“The ceremony is called bonding. It doesn’t change the rules of the relationship. It just means we are bonded to Thor. And each other. We will have a special connection. For those of us like me who are going to get the usual 78 years most likely, we will now get closer to 5000. For Bucky, Steve, maybe you B, and you Nat. You’ll live significantly less. Plus Thor will be promised to you. You won’t ever have to worry about being alone. So… we don’t all have to do it. But he has to do it with someone. If you don’t want to that’s okay, but we all need to agree on who does and if that’s okay.”

“Is there a place I can go to punch things?” Bucky asked in a low voice.

I looked over at Loki, but Volstagg stepped forward. “Let me take you to the training arena.” He said. “Is there anyone else that would like to work out their tension?”

Natasha raised her hand. Volstagg indicated to the door with his ax and the three of them headed out together.

Sam moved over and wrapped his arm around me and I melted into him. “I missed you guys.”

“How have you been doing, sweetie?” Wanda asked rubbing my leg.

“I guess you could say I’ve been a little bit stressed,” I said.

Sam rubbed my arm and kissed the top of my head. “That’s totally understandable, princess.” He said. “You’re safe and we’re all here.”

“What about you, my darlings? Have you been having fun?” Wanda asked the kids.

“Uncle Woki has a big wibwawy,” Pietro answered.

“Yeah? How big?” Clint asked.

Pietro stretched his arms up over his head. “Is big. So many.”

“Piet, you should tell daddy about what Fandral has been teaching you,” I said.

Pietro stood up on Clint’s thighs and started jumping. “Daddy! Daddy!” He said excitedly and then started babbling so fast that it was hard to make out any words.

“Buddy. Buddy, slow down.” Clint said, holding Pietro’s hands.

“Dere’s a pony, daddy. I rided da pony.” He squealed.

“Oh, really?” Clint asked.

“Fandral was teaching him to ride while Thor taught Riley how to use her powers,” I explained.

“That sounds like a lot of fun, buddy,” Clint said, and Pietro slammed himself against him and nuzzled into his neck. “So… the immortality thing.”

“I don’t know what to do. I worry about him.” I said poking Pietro.

“Well, maybe he falls in love with an Asgardian,” Clint said. “Or maybe Earth Science can cure diseases.”

“Or maybe we have to watch him age and then die and we’ll just be stuck like this,” I said, frowning.

“Well, yeah,” Clint said and kissed the top of Pietro’s head. “I dunno. Still don’t really see it as a problem.”

“You want to do it?” I asked. “Just like that?”

“Why not?”

“I don’t know,” I said, furrowing my brow. “It’s huge. It means a lot.”

“Why don’t you talk us through it, honey?” Sam asked.

“We’ll have to watch everyone we know die. That means probably Piet. Hill, Coulson, Scott, Rhodey, Clarke.” I said. “It means that all the shit we deal with on Earth could get worse because we will always just be there. We might stop even being able to relate to people or form proper bonds with them. They might start thinking we’re gods too.”

“Where did that fear even come from?” Sam asked.

“I don’t know. Anne Rice?”

Sam chuckled and Clint shook his head. “So, fiction? Have you tried actually talking to someone who has experience with that kind of thing?” Clint asked.

“What like Thor? The god of thunder?” I snarked.

“Well, what about that guy?” Clint asked, gesturing to Fandral.

“I’m afraid I’m not a good example,” Fandral said with a small bow. “I have lived a normal life for what is expected on Asgard. I have seen my elders die but I haven’t had to outlive any of my peers. At least not in terms of watching them grow old. I’ve lost friends in battle.”

“Oh,” Clint said.

“There is a chance that young Loki here may outlive us all. The stories say there are celestials who existed before existence. There is only one known case of their death and the skull is now the homeworld of many people. Then came the All fathers. The Ice Giants came with them. They were violent and burned a path through the universe before them. Then Odin was born of the Allfathers. That was when the universe began to settle. Other worlds grew and their own life forms formed with their own life spans. But here on Asgard we live thousands of years and are revered as gods.”

“Okay, but would you choose to outlive some people by millennia if you could?” Clint asked.

Fandral approached us and took a seat next to Loki. “That seems inevitable. People die in war. I outlived the Valkyrie. My parents.”

“The what?” Clint asked.

“Valkyrie? The warrior women?” Fandral asked with a mixture of shock and disbelief. “You haven't heard of them?” When Clint shook his head, Fandral sat up straight and clapped his hands. “A story for the little prince and princess. Once upon a time, Odin was stretching his rule over the Nine Realms. There was much fighting within them and he wished to restore peace and order. He took with him an army of women who rode upon winged horses. They were the most formidable army in all the realms. All who they went up against fell. Until one day there was a great battle and they were all slain.” He explained. “I was but a child when they existed.” He leaned over and poked Pietro in the stomach. “Your father wished to be a Valkyrie when he grew up.”

“You get me a horsie wif wings?” Pietro asked.

Fandral chuckled. “That might be possible, little prince. But first, we learn on the non-winged kind.”

“Are they a different species?” Clint asked.

“That’s right,” Fandral said with a nod. “Longer lived and stronger than the typical horse on Asgard, but no match for Odin’s former steed.”

Clint furrowed his brow like he was mulling over the story. “Why would wings make them live longer?”

I snorted. “Correlation, not causation, Clint.”

“If I were to guess, I would say it was because the magic runs deeper through them,” Fandral added and turned to Loki. “What do you think, dear?”

“I think it would be a shame if I had to put a knife into your eye,” Loki said rolling his eyes and picking at his nails. “I just cleaned my blades.”

Fandral chuckled and poked Pietro in the belly. “Now, now. Your uncle is always so violent.”

Pietro giggled and wiggled in Clint’s lap.

“Where are the boys?” Sam asked.

“Thor is being chewed out by Sif. I think Steve and Tony are in the lab.” I said.

Like I had summoned him, the door opened and Thor came in with Sif, followed by the chef and his carts of food.

“Woah, magic,” I said as Riley wriggled out from Wanda’s arms and ran over to the chef.

Riley bounced on her feet as she watched the chef start sorting things out for everyone. There was a lot more food than previously, but then there were also a lot more of us.

As he was setting up, Steve, Tony, and Hogun came in.

“Oh, hey, the rest of them,” Sam said.

“Where’s Bucky and Nat?” Steve asked, looking around.

“Punching stuff,” Clint answered.

“You should give everyone their gifts,” I said as Steve scowled.

“Sure,” Tony said and went into the bedroom to find the bag.

“Sif, did you talk Thor out of it?” I asked.

“I’m afraid not, my lady,” she said. “I did try.”

Tony returned with the bag and pulled out the bow. “This is for you, Legolas.”

Clint took it and his eyes went wide. “It’s so light. Feels like I’m holding a pencil.”

“It is like mine,” Sif said. “It has a perfect balance and tension. You will like it.”

Clint tested the balance and I took the bag off Tony and dug around in it pulling out the vambrace. “I picked these for you,” I said giving them to Sam.

He took them and made a soft, pleased sound. “These are nice.” He said turning them over.

“I thought they’d match your wings if you wanted to wear them. Or they’re just pretty. So you can put them on a shelf to look at.” I said.

“They’re perfect. Thank you, princess.” He said and pulled me close nipping at my neck.

I giggled and leaned into him, passing the bag back to Tony. He went back and pulled out the gift for Bruce and gave them to him pulling him into his arms and kissing him softly before he pressed the decorative case into Bruce’s hands.

Bruce opened them and smiled for the first time since I’d seen him here. “These look interesting.”

“Thought you’d like them, Bear,” Tony said and nuzzled at Bruce’s neck.

Steve took the bag off Tony and took out Natasha and Bucky’s gifts and put them on a shelf out of the kids’ reach before bringing the whole bag over and giving it to Wanda. “Everything else in there is for you, darling.” He said.

Wanda looked at him suspiciously and then opened the bag and looked inside. “Why is it so big?”

“Some weird magic,” Steve said.

She reached in and brought out a handful of rings, necklaces, and bracelets. “There’s so much.” She said, beginning to separate each piece.

“The lady who made them wanted you to have all of them. There is a lot more in there.” Steve said, leaning down and pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

“It’s all so beautiful,” Wanda said, smiling. “Thank you.”

Steve gave her shoulder a squeeze. “You’re very welcome.”

“Lunch is served.” The chef said.

“Is good,” Riley said from her spot at the table. A plate was already in front of her and her mouth was completely full.

“How’d you get food, bug?” Clint asked getting up with Pietro on his hip.

Riley pointed at the chef with a piece of food she was holding in her fist. “Dis guy.”

“I did hand her a plate.” The chef said. “Did I overstep, my lord?”

“Is good,” Riley said. “You my fwiend.”

The chef chuckled. “Thank you, princess. You’re my friend too.”

“I assure you, Clinton. Magnus has been working for the throne since I was a small boy. I trust him completely.”

“Even with what happened?” Clint asked.

“Yes. Magnus is loyal to us.” He said. “And a member of our household.”

Magnus bowed and took leave of the room as everyone got up and helped themselves to food. Pietro climbed up onto Clint’s head and ate things that were passed up to him as Clint sat at the table with Steve, Sam, Tony, and Bruce. Wanda and I ate at the couch with Loki while Thor seemed to pace and pick at things.

“Come here, human cat. Curl back up with me.” Wanda said, shifting so she could eat with me tucked into her side.

I curled in and picked at the food on my plate. “What would the bonding ceremony be like? What can we expect?” Wanda asked.

“Oh, we get powers. But we don’t know what they’ll be until it’s happened.” I said.

“I’ll have extra powers? Like lightning?” Wanda asked.

“They will be a reflection of both who you are and how you see yourself in your family,” Loki explained. “For example, someone who was very protective of their family might be able to create a shield that encompasses them.”

“Oh. I see. I wonder what that would mean for each of us.” Wanda said.

Loki shrugged. “Hopefully it renders this one mute.” He said gesturing to me.

I tried to stifle a laugh, ended up snorting and then broke down into peals of silent giggles.

Loki did his best to ignore me completely. “The ceremony itself involves a literal binding. A cord will be used to bind you to each other. For the number of you, I imagine it will look like a large web. Magic will be passed through it and you will take a sort of vision quest. In it, you will find where you belong within the relationship and your family. If the bonds are true and good, then you will be granted your new gift.”

“Wow. Okay.” Wanda said and took a drink as she seemed to mull over Loki’s words.

“Does she always eat like this?” Loki asked waving her hand vaguely at Riley.

I looked over and saw Riley completely covered in food and shoveling more into her mouth. “Oh, yes. She’s a hungry beast, aren’t you bug?”

She roared in response which made Wanda start giggling.

“Who raised this child to act like this?” Bruce asked.

“We did?” I said with a shrug.

“I think she needs to be recalibrated.” Sam joked.

“Daddy,” Riley said, sternly.

“Oh. You asked for it now.” Sam said, getting up.

“No, daddy!” She squealed.

“Yes, bug.” He said, grabbing her around the waist and flipping her upside down.

She flailed and squealed, kicking her legs excitedly. A soft wind began to swirl around the room.

“Just a few more minutes.” Sam teased. “You’re almost fixed.”

“Riley, control that wind, please,” Thor said. She continued kicking and squealing but the wind died right off.

“Huh,” Sam said, flipping her back over and putting her down.

“Again, daddy!” She squealed, jumping up and down.

“She got control of it after only a couple of days?” Sam asked.

Thor shook his head as Riley continued to jump up and down, tugging on Sam’s shirt. “Only sometimes. It’s important to remind her when it’s out of her control though.”

Sam caught her midjump and spun her upside down again. She squealed in delight. It was such a pure noise and she was so happy. As loud as it was with everyone here I felt at peace. Even Bruce seemed to have started to relax a little. The only stand out person, who was not beginning to calm was Thor. Time was ticking down to the Fenestare, and the stress of it seemed to be seeping out of his pored.

“Thor, are you okay?” I asked.

“As I can be.” He said in a strained tone.

“Do you want to join Wanda and I for cuddles?” I asked.

“Yes. I would most appreciate that.” He said moving over to us.

“You know he is as heavy as a horse right?” Loki asked.

“I have been under him many times, yes.” I deadpanned as I opened my arms and Thor collapsed down into them.

Loki shook his head. “I don’t know what I expected to happen when I said that.” He said. “I am old enough to know better.”

“You did kind of walk into it.” I agreed as I began to caress Thor’s hair and neck.

Riley came over and climbed up on Thor, draping herself over him like a cat and closing her eyes.

“Do you think she understands what’s happening?” Sam asked.

“I don’t know,” I said.

“I hope she doesn’t,” Bruce said, his voice slightly strained.

Thor shifted and closed his eyes a little, and it wasn’t long before both father and daughter were snoring lightly in the pile on my lap.

I’m Only Human

Chapter 10

Pairing- Loki x Reader, Thor x Reader( Best friends)

Warning- cursing

The Destroyer is unable to react quickly enough, as Volstagg smashes into the creature. It looks like it might actually work for a moment, but the Destroyer stays on its feet. It lifts Volstagg into the by the scruff of his neck. He shrugs apologetically. The Destroyer savagely hurls him at Hogun and Fandral, smashing into them into Force field that Y/n put up in Record timing to catch them. Sif Leaps off a nearby rooftop with her two-headed spear and plunges it deep into the back of the creature. The creature stands there motionless, the fire dimming in its faceplate, Sif standing atop its back.

The Asgardians have a brief moment of hope. But the creature stirs with life, its fire igniting once again. Sif looks on with growing trepidation.Slowly, unnaturally, the Destroyer spins its torso around 180 degrees to face its attackers. The Destroyer unleashes a blast at Sif. She barely dives off of the behemoth in time, dodging the blast.

The Destroyer rises again to its full height, pulling free from Sif's staff, the weapon slipping through the slats of its armor. Sif and the Warriors Three try to regroup by Y/n, when the Destroyer unleashes another blast, sending Sif and her comrades flying in all directions. Hogun's pouch of healing stones breaks free, landing in the middle of the street.

Thor sees his friends lying injured on the ground, but has no time to act, as the Destroyer fires in his direction. Just as Y/n looks over the car she see the Destroyer fires at her friends. With a deep breath Y/n’s y/e turns white and hurricane force winds blasts towards the destroyer knocking him off his feet. Y/n being to levitates off the ground, with The flick of her wrist the cars moves out the way. The Destroyer gets up off the ground.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Loki sitting on the throne watching everything with curiosity.”Who could be this powerful help in Thor?”

Not being able to see the person that just knock The Destroyer down Loki commands him to send another beam towards the person.

Y/n raises her hand and places of force field in front of her and them A dark cloud forms until the sky around the The little town darkens. Y/n raises her left arm and a huge bolt of lightning strikes The Destroyer blasting it yards away. She then raises her hand to move Sif and the warrior three out of harms way. A storefront near Smith Motor explosion, knocked Thor, Jane, and Erik off their feet. Thor helps Jane to her feet, when they notice Erik lying on his back amidst the debris, impaled by a twisted piece of iron.

“Erik!” Jane shouted as She and Thor hurry to his side. He's losing blood, going into shock.

“Go! Leave me!” Eric told Jane.

Jane takes his hand as Thor spots Hogun's pouch of healing stones lying in the middle of the street. He makes a break for it, dodging through the flaming wreckage, then grabs the pouch and races back. He opens the pouch to find the fragile stones crushed and useless. He pours the contents out in his hand.

“Come on... give me one!” Thor called out.

Amidst the useless powder, he finally finds one stone still intact. Thor tosses the pouch aside, holds the stone over the end of the iron rod.

“What are you doing? What is that?” Jane wondered.

Then the stone begins to glow, Thor crushes it. Jane looks on, amazed, as the glowing powder falls upon the piece of iron, dissolving it, heading downwards, until it reaches Erik's wound. The powder heals his wound completely. Thor looks down the street, sees his wounded friends still lying there, as Erik sits up in utter astonishment. He reaches through the hole in his shirt to touch his healed flesh.

“I'm really starting to like him.” Erik declared.

Jane turns to Thor to find he's gone.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Thor reaches Sif, who lies dazed, battered, and bloodied on the ground. He pulls her behind a burning vehicle.

“Go, while you can!” Thor urged Sif.

“Your friend how could she do that?” Sif asked.

“Not all Midgardians are normal some are born with powers but you need leave.” Thor told Sif with a small smile.

“I can not leave No! I will die a warrior's death. Stories will be told of this day--“

Thor gently takes her shield from her. “Live and tell those stories yourself.” At last, she nods. Thor spots where Y/n place Volstagg lying unconscious, with Hogun and Fandral lying nearby. Thor makes his way towards them. Volstagg is barely breathing. Thor tries to pull him to safety, but it's no use. He won't budge. He rouses Hogun and Fandral. “Get him out of here!”

“No. We can still fight!” Fandral insisted.

“But not win. Move Volstagg, or he'll die!” Thor told his Conrads. “Don’t worry, my friends. I have a plan.” Thor looks at them, grins. “Brother your fight is with me.”

“Bro- brother your brother is doing all this.” Y/n said turning to look at Thor.

Seeing a small window to attack Y/n, The Destroyer fires a beam at Y/n.

“Y/n! Look out!!” Thor shouted.

Y/n turns around just in time to put up a force field but the beam blasts her back into a car.

“Y/n!!” Thor is about to rush over to Y/n but a fire beam separates him from getting into her. The two Warriors reluctantly grab their fallen friend and drag him away from the battlefield. After they go, Thor turns to back to the Destroyer, then tosses Sif's shield aside. He strides down the street towards the behemoth, completely defenseless.

“Brother... for whatever I have done to wrong you, whatever I have done to lead you to do this, I am sorry. But these people have done nothing to you. They are innocents.” Thor started. As he begins to walk towards the Destroyer. “Take my life, and know I will never return to Asgard.”

Thor reaches The Destroyer, extends his arms. The Destroyer hesitates, sizing up the defenseless Thor, then enormous arm swings back to hit him. With his eyes closed Thor waits for the hit to come but it never does. When Thor open his eyes he see Y/n in front of him. Breathing heavily, Clothes somewhat ripped and covered in blood,and one hand up stopping The Destroyer and the other holding her right side.

“Y/n!!.” Thor said shocked.

“I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if you got hurt.” Y/n murmured.

Force field is around them and when the smoke clearers Loki finally sees the woman Who has been fighting the Destroyer. And at that moment he feels it just like his mother said he would the whole world stop and all he could see is her. The way her white and y/h framed her face so beautifully, her lips, her eyes, and her nose. The Destroy walks closer to Y/n leaning down so their face to face.

“He’s your brother why are you doing this?” Y/n asked.

The Destroyer hand comes to touch the Force field and all the wounds on Y/n’s body are all healed.

“What the-“

Not being able to finish her sentence she falls to the ground unconscious and the Force field she had put up falls with her. The Destroyer moves around Y/n and stands in front of Thor. The Destroyer then swats him with its enormous arm. We hear the sickening crack of breaking bones as Thor goes flying. Thor lands in a crumpled, broken heap in front of Smith Motors, before Jane, Erik , and Darcy. The wounded Asgardians watch helplessly from down the street, a look of horror on their faces. Jane tries to rush out to Thor's aid, but Erik holds her back.

“Jane, no!” He pulls her into Smith Motors. A raven flies overhead, watching the scene.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Odin lies in the Odinsleep. A single tear rolls down the Allfather's cheek.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Thor's eyes close, his last breath leaving his lips. The Destroyer stands over Thor's body, lowers its head towards him. It opens its faceplate, locks it in place, readying to unleash its fiery blast.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Inside the crater, the runes of the side of Mjolnir reappear, burning bright. Electricity starts to crackle on the hammer's surface. Scientists beside it take notice as it vibrates, and a rumble comes from overhead. They look up. Clouds form in the sky above. Just then, with a crack and flash of lightning, Mjolnir flies straight up into the air like a rocket.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

The Destroyer unleashes its blast at Thor's body, when -- KRAKAKABOOM! A blinding Bolt Of Lightening strikes down from above, colliding with the Destroyer's blast. The explosion is massive. The Destroyer is hurled backwards, a cloud of dust enveloping the street. As the smoke clears we see.

“Oh. My. God.” Jane said utterly shocked.

The Mighty Thor. Clad in his full battle armor, holding Mjolnir in his hand --the God of Thunder once more. Thor kneels, brings Mjolnir down onto the ground. Lightning strikes the Destroyer. It convulses. Thor swings Mjolnir around, takes off straight up into the air, as the Destroyer gets back on its feet and looks up at the Thunder God.

Storm clouds gather around Thor as he summons gale force winds. Debris from the battle begins to rise up into the sky. The Destroyer stays there, kept grounded by its massive weight. It lifts its head up at the Thunder God, opens its faceplate, locks it in place, unleashes its blast.

Thor dives downwards straight at it, with Mjolnir before him. Mjolnir collides with the Destroyer's fiery energy blast, overpowering it, pushing it back, forcing it downwards at the Destroyer. Thor jams his hammer deep into the Destroyer's faceplate. The fiery energy within the creature builds up and explodes within him, firing out of all his openings.

Thor smashes the Destroyer to the ground in a tremendous heap, the fiery energy within it extinguished forever. Thor pulls. Mjolnir from its faceplate, walks away from its lifeless carcass. As he does, the other objects and debris pulled into the air by the gale winds drop down from the skies, around the Destroyer, burying it. Thor walks over and picks up Y/n up and walks over to Jane and His's comrades, now roused, stand to join him. A battered Coulson approaches with several Shield Agents. “Donald... I don't think you've been completely honest with me...... is she-“

“She unconscious my brother did this.” Thor told Coulson.

Coulson motions for some agents to come and take Y/n. “Medic smelling salts.”

A medic Shield Agent comes rushing towards the men that carried Y/n away and holds one of the smelling salts up to her nose and breaks it. A few seconds later Y/n’s eyes open and there’s glowing red she can’t moves it’s like sleep paralysis. All the car, broken glass, Street lamps, and some people begin to float.

“Oh no.”

“What’s happening?” Jane asked as everyone Watches the scene unfold in front of them.

“Y/n her powers she can’t control all of them.” Coulson informed them.

“Powers? I thought her only power was controlling the weather.” Darcy Chimed in.

Coulson pulls out a lidl out of a pouch and inject it in Y/n’s arm.

“What does that do?” Thor asked with a concern voice.

“It stops her powers completely.” Coulson told Thor.

Y/n sits up with the grunt. Everything that was floating comes crashing down to the ground. She looks around and sees everyone staring at her with concerning looks.

“What’s wrong?” Y/n asked.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Y/n, Thor, Jane, Darcy, Selvig and the other Asgardians stand in the desert with Thor, Coulson, and several Shield Agents.

Thor walks up to Y/n and stands beside her trying to find the words to say Goodbye.

“Damn I miss the big reveal how was it where they shocked?” Y/n Asked Thor.

“Yes very much.” Thor answered then takes a deep breath in. “From the moment I landed here you believe in me, you’ve helped me, and treated me as a friend I don’t think I could ever repay that debt.”

“There’s no debt that’s what friends are for it’s been a long time since a had one a real one.” Y/n said with a smile. “I’m gonna miss you.”

Thor looks over at Y/n and smiles. “You’re going to see me again because. I’m your Alien best friend remember.”

Darcy turns to Volstagg. “So, how can you speak our language?” Darcy asked suddenly.

“Your language? Ha! Silly girl, you're speaking ours.” Volstagg answered.

Thor calls up to the sky. ”Heimdall! Open the Bifrost!”

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Heimdall stands frozen.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Sif walks up to Y/n.

“You fought well Midgardian you would be a great warrior on Asgard.” Sif Told Y/n.

“Thank you.” Y/n said with. Smile at Sif.

Thor looks to the others with concern. “He would open it if he could. I fear the worst.”

“Then we're trapped here forever.” Volstagg supposed.

“Hmm I I doubt it.” Y/n murmured.

“Then I suppose we'd best start settling into our new lives.” Fandral disclosed. He looks to Darcy, turns on the charm. “Are all earth maidens as fair as you?”

Darcy enjoys the attention. “No.”

Thor shouts back up to the sky. “Heimdall!”

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

From inside the ice, Heimdall hears Thor calling to him. Knowing that the fate of Asgard depends on him, he musters all his strength. The ice around him begins to CRACK. With a tremendous effort, Heimdall SHATTERS free from the ice.

Weakened, near death, he drags himself inside the Observatory.

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

The Asgardians begin to lose hope. Volstagg eyes a Shield Agent’s machine gun. “Primitive. Good enough for hunting small game, I suppose.”

Suddenly, the Bifrost explodes down from the sky. Thor grins.

The mortals look on, amazed. Fandral turns to Darcy. “Sorry, my love. These things happen.”

He joins the other Asgardians at their side.

Thor turns to Coulson. “Know this, son of Coul. You and I, we fight for the same cause -- the protection of this world. From this day forward, count me as your ally If you return the items you have stolen from Jane Foster.”

“Not stolen. Borrowed.” Coulson corrected. Jane shoots him a look. Coulson quickly continues. “You'll get your equipment back. You're going to need it to continue your research... which, after today's events, Shield would like to fully sponsor. If that's all right with you.”

Thor takes Jane's hand, kisses it tenderly. She looks at him, her eyes filled with the fear that she may never see him again. “Whatever fate lies before me, you are part of it.” He takes her in his arms, kisses her passionately. Thor and the Asgardians leap into the Bifrost.

"and make that the third Iron Man movie instead of the mess that was IM3" would you mind elaborating on that? I'm honestly not trying to start anything; I just hate Stank and the asshole playing him and love to read others dragging him too (the only Movie I enjoy him in, is Avengers 1, because I almost got to see him die TWICE (and both times he just looks like the rampant diarrhea has returned and he's desperately clenching until he can get to a toilet)).

Okay, so... I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before, if not here than somewhere else, but a few years back, either just before or just after Infinity War, I sat down and thought of ways to actually fix the problems that they (Marvel) caused by kissing RDJ's ass by allowing him in whatever movies he wanted. To do this, we have to whip out the Time Stone and go back...

Picture it! Sicily Summer, 2012! The Avengers hit theaters and became one of the highest grossing openings of all time (or they highest, I don't really follow statistics). While the movies before that had a few hiccups - were trying to get their footing - they did a good job of setting up this shared universe that we now have. The Avengers was the culmination of everything we'd gotten from the previous movies, including the the Tesseract that wove it's way through the stories as well as their individual arcs for the Big Three (Tony, Thor and Steve).

Tony was continuing his research into clean energy via the arc reactor project. We found out what happened to Loki after he fell from the Bifrost and Thor's reaction to seeing his brother again. They showed Steve suffering from PTSD from his crash and him struggling to adjust to the seventy year time difference. Nat and Clint had their roles expanded but in a way that built off of their arcs in Iron Man 2 and Thor, as the spy and the eye-in-the-sky. Even characters like Coulson or Fury fit the narrative they gave us in the previous film. That was why we all cheered when they won the Battle of New York. Not just because the good guys saved the day, but because we saw the culmination of what had been set up before, using the Asgardian knowledge of wormholes and portals combined with Tony's arc reactor project and the Tesseract that the Red Skull had been experimenting with. All of that came together in that big climactic battle with the Chitauri invasion and our heroes putting aside their grudges and misgivings to fight together for the first time. It was amazing!

Sadly, Marvel has not accomplished something like that since.

Don't get me wrong, the MCU, for all its faults since then, has made some good content. The Winter Soldier is, in my opinion, the best movie the franchise has produced. We got Black Panther (a little late, but we still got it). The individual movies weren't the problem, it was their attempt to weave it all together for the next team-up movie where everything went south.

Age of Ultron did the exact opposite of the first Avengers film, in that it completely ignored all the movies of Phase 2 and just made this thing that was a repeat of the Big Three movies that came before it. Ultron was just Project Insight 2.0, but combined with Tony's PTSD and excessive suit building in IM3 with a dash of the mystic by using the weird cave sequence with Thor, that came with no explanation.

And look, Iron Man 3, despite its hodgepodge of badly executed ideas, was a nice conclusion to Tony's arc since we first saw him. If you ignore the specifics of that movie, you get Tony giving up being Iron Man because he realized that he was putting the people he cared about in danger. He trashed all of his suits, finally had the shrapnel in his chest removed so that he could live without the arc reactor, and decided to start a life with the woman he loved. That's how the movie ends. He retires, ready to move on with his life... until he shows up in Age of Ultron, brand new suit despite having trashed them all and just repeats the same character arc he did in his last solo movie. He creates an army of robots (instead of suits) called the Iron Legion as well as working on this Ultron Program, which was him once again trying to protect the world from external threats due to his trauma from going through that wormhole and staring in the vast emptiness of space. And then at the end of the movie, he retires... again.

We could have avoided all of this, and actually set up for the big conflict with Thanos if they had simply made IM3 the Ultron plot, since AoU was so Tony-centric anyway. Get rid of Killian and the badly explained Extremis plot. Get rid of the fake Mandarin (sorry Ben Kingsley) and just have Tony's PTSD and paranoia about another alien invasion be the reason for Ultron's creation. They could have had a line or two about how Tony "upgraded the program", referencing the fact that Ultron was created by Hank Pym in the comics and therefor setting up Ant-Man for the future. They could have taken out the other Avengers, maybe leaving in Bruce and just used Rhodey and the Iron Legion, and the soon-to-be created Vision from the A.I. that was J.A.R.V.I.S. take on Ultron and his army. We could have included the Sokovia subplot and kept the Maximoff Twins as secondary antagonists due to the MCU making their origin story focus so heavily on Tony. Could have kept Ulysses Klau as an old "acquaintance" of Tony's from his arms dealer days, setting up Wakanda and the Black Panther. All of that could have fit so nicely into a third Iron Man movie, with maybe Ultron taking advantage of Tony's arc reactor and maybe kidnapping Pepper (and allowing them to introduce Pepper's suit "Rescue" a lot earlier than Endgame) all of it culminating in the same ending: Tony removing his arc reactor and trashing his suits (maybe keeping one as a momento) and settling down with Pepper.

Boom! Leaves us wide open for Civil War to take place as the second Avengers movie, splitting up the team with the Sokovia Accords and allowing the third Captain America movie to be about Steve Rogers and his squad. We could have gotten bearded cap for a whole movie, not just six minutes and included the whole "other Winter Soldiers" arc and kept it in this movie, just having Civil War be about the fallout from the world's politicians wanting the Avengers on a leash after what happened in Manhattan, D.C., Johannesburg, Sokovia, etc.

The real problem with the version of Civil War that we got was that it was trying to be both a Captain America film and an Avengers movie at the same time. They tried to have the subplot with Bucky and the winter soldier program, but too much of it was also focused on Tony and then the whole subplot with T'Challa and then Wanda and Vision. It was too much. Take out the winter soldier part and you have a solid Avengers movie, a mirror to the first one, where they all came together, this one pulls them apart, just before the big bad of Thanos rolss up into town, when they should be the most united. And then the winter soldier part could be used for the third cap movie, which I'll expand upon later, but it would have fixed a lot of the MCU's problems.

But that's just my two cents.

#this got a lot longer than i expected #sorry not sorry #the mcu had such potential #but they forked it up all because of one douchebag #and while this post isn't really anti tony #i'll tag it that way just to be safe #anti tony stark #more ca:cw bullshit #still waiting for cap 3

The Younger Stark

by allytherandomizer

This is an MCU Reader Insert throughout the majority of the movies that was previously published on DeviantArt. It is a revised version of that story.

You are SHIELD Field Agent _____ Stark, codename Mimic. After your parents died in a car crash when you were four, your brother Tony placed you in the care of Peggy Carter and ceased all contact with you. You'd buried the hatchet, given up on your brother, endured your own hardships, became a super-soldier, discovered you had magic powers, and finally found yourself in your current position at SHIELD, where you built strong friendships with your fellow agents, particularly that of Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, and Phil Coulson. You were content with your life as it was.

And it would have stayed that way had your brother not announced to the world that he was Iron Man. On live television. When he was explicitly told not to do so.

Stakeout

Loki x Reader

Prompt: @marvelrose had this awesome idea of taking Brooklyn Nine Nine’s episode Stakeout and turning it into an angsty fic. Will it end in smut or will it end in more angst?

Warnings: a tiny bit of violence, anger, love blossoming??

Word Count: It feels weird not to cry. The meds seem to be doing a pretty decent job I must say. So guess who’s going to watch Infinity War this weekend.

MASTERLIST in bio, my wonderful beans

“This is all your fault, you stupid minx.”

“Say that again and I'll cut your pretty locks, goth Rapunzel.”

“Enough!” Tony's voice boomed through the comms, almost piercing through the eardrums, making you and Loki wince. Yet neither of you let the pain reflect on your faces- despite being in complete darkness- to not show the other person the level of discomfort both of you were feeling right now.

“Both of you are at fault!” Tony announced, “I don't expect much from our goth princess here but I thought you'd be better, Y/N.”

Your mentor's words pierced through your heart making you straighten up a bit.

“Tony, I swear I had mapped the route. The point of contact was secure and all the kids were supposed to be taken out safely from there but Addams here just had to throw someone through the freaking wall and compromise my location!”

You tried to wiggle a little but the space was packed; not to mention dark. The bumps on the road made your entire body jump, reminding you of the pain in your shoulder from the recent injury on your last mission.

This is so not good for my back, you growled to yourself internally.

“They already knew your location, which was not very discreet you, darling. I was just taking the hurdles out before they could cause any trouble.”

You could feel Loki's hot breaths over your hair while he lay beside you. The heat radiating from his body was suffocating you and considering he could easily fluctuate his body temperature, you knew he was doing this on purpose.

“You let the three most wanted traffickers get away,” you responded through your teeth slowly for the God to catch every word, “what, did your hair get in the way of seeing where to land your punches, or better, your enemies?”

“Watch your mouth you wh-”

“Okay! What matters is-” Tony cut through Loki's words, knowing full well the van you and the God were being transported in would turn into a crime scene within seconds, “you rerouted the kids on time. Every one of them was safe. But your identity has been compromised, Y/N. The sons of bitches know about you. This is our last chance to know their location. Both of you have already been debriefed. I want updates every six hours, you are not to engage with the enemy and for the love of all the Avengers ice cream flavours do not kill each other in the next one week.”

“Yeah, I can't promise that,” you shot back in a whisper.

“Me neither.” Loki was quick to follow.

A tired sigh left the other side of the comms.

“Murder each other and I'll personally come and smack both of you in your thick skulls, you hear me?”

The van screeched to a halt, making you raise your arm over your head to avoid hitting the metal partition, forcing an immense jolt of pain rush through the injured limb.s

Loki had the same idea and so began the muffled shifting and smacking of arms away before you both felt the dark space slide and be picked up with a huff and grunt.

“Odin’s beard, you guys are heavy,” came a heavy voice from outside as it transported you up a flight of staircase before putting the dark space down and unzipping it to finally let some light and fresh air come in.

“Now go have fun.”

“I hate this. I shouldn’t be doing this,” you muttered under your breath.

“Right, you would rather be doing that agent from Coulson’s personal wing.”

Loki’s flat toned comment made you stop tipping your chair over its feet. The cool breeze entering through the window from the wall behind you didn’t do much to ease your throbbing head but rolling your eyes and sighing into the oblivion gave you a partial satisfaction of its own.

Both you and Loki sat cross-armed with boots over the desk where all your equipment lay. The camera set towards the dilapidated house standing opposite to the building you were cooped up in showed no movements whatsoever. Neither did the infrared screens. The only life to pass through this waste of a locality was the anti-rodent van you and Loki had arrived in and a garbage truck.

“I’m flattered you think sex is on my mind right now, Rapunz, but no, that’s not the reason-”

“And I care as much as that tree breathing out gases for people living here,” the God quipped, making you twitch with a flash of frustration at his shallow words.

“That tree could make a better company right now, I’m sure,” you commented as your right hand went to your left shoulder subconsciously, pressing it gently at different places.

Loki did not miss the scrunching of your nose and recalling of your fingers as you felt terrible pain ripple through you at every wrong- or right- touch.

“Oh, for sure. I’m thinking of joining it for some prep siesta soon,” Loki sang before retrieving his gaze from your form.

You mocked his words in the most childish way making him roll his eyes before getting up.

“You could literally disappear from here with your awesome powers any time you want. I’ll be the one doing all the work. Isn’t that right, my lord? Isn’t that why you so gladly let Thor and Clint drive you here? Hah?”

Loki turned towards you, his hands going towards his back while his lips slowly stretched in the most devious smirk you had ever seen.

Son of deception!

Your feet shifted from the table to the ground, watching him cautiously as he waved his hand at you.

“So long, darling. Hope you can survive the morning heat and cold nights without the luxury of your favourite comforter,” Loki stated before twisting his hands.

A moment passed before your hand went down into your duffel bag to get out a bag of chips. Tearing it open without ever taking your eyes off the confused trickster, you began munching as loudly as you could.

“This usually works,” Loki said more for you than for himself as he tried to portal out of the place.

Crunch!

He tried again with both his hands this time, moving them as if trying to impersonate Goku’s Kamehameha.

Crrunch!

The irritation on his face was visible now. Between your loud mouthful bites and his sudden loss of power, the trickster was apparently losing his signature cool.

Crr~unncch!

“Stop it!” Loki snapped, making you pause with your mouth wide open, waiting for the handful of chips to land inside and start the serenade from the top.

You closed your jaws over the physical notes slowly, almost feeling Loki’s Jotun blood boil before he turned towards the apartment door to smash it open, instead, being repelled and smacked away into the opposite wall like a fly.

The crunch continued with a happy and contented sigh.

“Everyday, some new kind of magic makes my life more entertaining somehow.”

The clock read seven thirty when your first yawn came without any warning. Dialing Stark, you got up and tried to move your injured arm a bit to remove the stiffness.

“Still alive?”

“Barely,” Loki announced in a dead tone.

“We’ve got nothing, Tony. Not even a dog has looked at that house yet,” you added, unzipping your jacket and pausing mid-way to allow your brain a way to figure out how to get out of it without hurting yourself more.

“Cool. Take shifts for a shut-eye and keep me posted. One day’s almost over. Almost.”

The call was disconnected, leaving you and Loki to groan in each other’s unavoidable presence.

“I’m going to take a shower,” you announced while trying to get your better hand out of the jacket.

Pushing it, flailing it and eventually jumping to force your jacket away from your skin, you managed to step over your own foot and fall down in a way that was anything but graceful.

Loki didn’t even turn at the sound of the loud thud to scrutinize what was going on.

“How you ever become an Avenger with your ever graceful movements is beyond my comprehension,” Loki articulated into the air surrounding him as his fingers played with a coin between them.

Getting up on your knees with your jacket half stuck on your elbow on either side, you huffed your hair away from your face. “Not many can master the grace that I have, my prince.” And with that, you laid down and struggled the fabric away from you eventually, out of breath, and moved to the bathroom- deciding it was better to struggle and cry in the closed space than in front of one sarcastic royalty.

“Hey, Loki, I was going through the whole extraction fiasco again and- you’ve got to be kidding me.”

You were barely out of the bathroom when your eyes registered Loki's form spread so sophisticatedly across the lone bed in the apartment. His arms were crossed over his forehead, trying to block all flashes of annoyance you were sending his way, while his legs were crossed across the length of the mattress Clint had plopped down on the bed structure this morning.

Peeping through one eye, he stared down at your wet hair sticking to your neck and your tee looking like it had been stretched beyond what was its comprehensive standards.

“Care to join me?” He purred and smirked.

“I don’t think the mattress is built to withstand all the rage and angst piled over it,” you debated, gesturing at Loki’s existence with your hands before walking towards the little makeshift station.

You could see him sit up on his elbows from the corner of your eyes; a little spark going down your spine.

“Are you implying that this bed cannot withstand the rage I can pour over it,” Loki’s hot voice melted through the air as he tilted his head with a streak of sublime darkness in his eyes, “or that I can pour out enough to make the things underneath me crack and cry?”

You did not notice that window had been closed and hence blamed the sudden chill your body felt over the outside air. But just as all the hairs on your body stood up to gasp at the audacity of this pile of pure mischief, you knew deep inside that the mere dull air could not do such damage to you.

“What? N-no, I meant y-” your flustered self tried to gather your pieces before turning to look at him with pure anger- “get your mind out of the gutter, dude!”

His chuckle made illicit vibrations run on the back of your neck. You considered it better to sit down and wrap yourself up in the warmth of your jacket to not allow him to see what things he was doing to you.

“You are so easy to rile up, darling.”

N, P, S and X for the ask game :D?

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

I’m gonna do this for the OUAT fandom since I’m most active there

1. I’d love to see more comments on fics since I know how important that is for keeping the writer behind the story motivated. Now, I write myself and tbh my OUAT fics get a lot less reviews than the fics I write for some of my other fandoms. And it’s not just me. A lot of other writers (granted, not only in the OUAT fandom since that’s more of a universal problem across all the fandoms) are discouraged by the few comments and reblogs they get. Even reblogging the fic and screaming in the tags makes a writer’s day, believe me. And if you don’t want the fanfic on your blog for whatever reason, tumblr has the option of replies. That way you can still let the writer know you enjoyed their fic while keeping it off your blog. Boom, everyone’s happy and everyone gets more fics. Honestly, you don’t have to write novels in the comments. Just a short “I love it” can make a difference for the writer so I’d like to implore everyone who's reading this to take the extra 10 seconds to drop a comment to the fanfic writer whose fic you enjoyed. It costs you so little while it has the power to make someone happy for years in the future.

2. On that note, I’d like to see more engagement in the fandom as a whole. Now that the show is over, we run the risk of falling apart as a fandom. I don’t think the chances of that are very high but they’re still there. And that scares me to death because OUAT means so much to me (it has been so for almost 4 years now) and now that it’s over, the fandom is the only thing I have left. I don’t necessarily feel like there’s been a significant change in the interactions inside the fandom, but I think it would do everyone some good if we were more engaged with each other’s works. I know it’s hard to keep up with everything that’s going on and I’m far from demanding it from anyone. No, what I mean with this is that we as a community can offer more by barely changing anything about the way we engage with fandom content. It doesn’t take a lot. A comment on a fic you liked, a reblog on that gorgeous piece of art you just saw, a passing thought in addition to a headcanon you read - stuff like that. Small gestures of support can make the difference. And you don’t have to spread yourself thin over the activity of the entire fandom. Just be a little more engaged in the circles you’re in.

3. I’d like to see more consideration. It’s totally okay to fawn over some fanfic or fanart and it’s natural to want the creator to make more of it, but you should be careful with your requests. It’s common courtesy to first check if the creator is willing to make more of it before you start begging them to do so. Every creator likes to see that there’s interest in their works, but it’s a little overwhelming when someone demands more from you on a project that you don’t really feel like continuing. This might be a personal thing, but I feel a bit guilt-tripped when someone is pleading with me to do something that they desperately need of me. Especially when I’ve already stated my opinion on the matter. There are ways to encourage creators to make more content without coming off as demanding. Please, master those ways. (I’m sorry if this is too ranty; it’s just something that’s been bothering me in the last few weeks).

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

This got way too serious even for my own liking so let’s brighten the mood a little with a happy AU. A Curious Archer Animal AU which also draws from Beauty and the Beast to be exact.

Alice is a nymph who sees a man with a bow and arrow who’s trying to hit a little fox. She blasts him with her magic and knocks him out, just barely saving the fox from a deadly shot. It still gets wounded though and Alice takes it in her care. She brings it to the cottage where she lives to nurse it back to health but there’s something extraordinary about the fox. Alice uses her magic and figures out what the problem is. The fox is actually a girl and via her magic Alice finds out that her name is Robin and she was turned into a fox by Alice’s own mother - Gothel. Robin came across Mother Nature and got herself cursed because of her insufferable attitude. She’s not being any more pleasant when in Alice’s company. She breaks things around the cottage and scares other animals away. She even hunts a little bunny even though Alice has already taken care of her dinner. However, Alice’s relentless gentleness and her caring attitude start rubbing off on Robin and she changes over time. Meanwhile, Alice is looking for a way to turn Robin back into a human but finds nothing other than dead end after dead end. Finally, when she’s tired from the lack of progress, she goes to confront her mother and ask her to turn Robin back into a human. Gothel warns her to get rid of the fox and forget about it. Otherwise, she’ll take her powers away. Alice doesn’t back down, though, which results into her powers being sealed away by Gothel. She loses consciousness from the spell and falls to the ground, dropping Robin in the process. The fox worriedly licks Alice’s cheek, trying to wake her up, when a rainbow glow radiates from both of them. Robin is turned back into a human and Alice wakes up with all of her powers back since True Love’s kiss broke the curses put on both of them. Alice uses her powers to turn Gothel into a willow to make sure that she won’t harm anyone anymore since Robin was far from the only one who got cursed by Gothel. Alice takes the position of the leader of the nymphs and the new Mother Nature and she and Robin live happily together in the woods.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

I’ve mentioned this before but I think it’s worth mentioning again because I just love it so much and I know you love Zelena and I’m in such a Zelena mood today (I just made a video about her).

I headcanon that Zelena took self-defense classes after she lost her magic and that’s why she was able to defeat Jack/Hansel so easily. I think it makes sense for her to have considered other ways of self-defense since her magic was gone and she wasn’t a fully redeemed villain when it happened so there certainly were people who wanted to get back at her for something. And without magic she’d be defenseless against any possible new villain (and lbr it’s Storybrooke; there’s always a new villain). She wanted to be able to protect both Robin and herself since she didn’t want Robin to grow up the way she had - without a mother. Robin had already lost her father and Zelena wouldn’t allow her to lose her mother too. So she learned how to defend herself even without her magic.

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

Regina Mills (OUAT)

Zelena Mills (OUAT)

Robin Mills (OUAT)

Ruby Lucas (OUAT)

Kathryn Nolan (OUAT)

Loki (MCU)

Gamora (and Nebula) (MCU)

Phil Coulson (MCU & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Griffin (Winx Club)

Shego (Kim Possible)

Pretty much all of these can defend themselves but, heck, I love them to death and would defend them regardless.

Wow, this got so long, but it was funny and challenging, and I liked answering the questions.

Updated September 20

AVENGERS… ASSEMBLE!

Hello, all you lovely heroes, mutants, and upcoming OCs of tomorrow. We would like to welcome you to the Avengers Genesis program– a forming discord server made for this team to come together and face the terrors of our times. We like to hang out, we like to get to know each other, and currently, we are recovering from the terrorist act that destroyed half of Hell’s (Hela’s) Kitchen. With new villains showing up whenever things seem to calm down, there’s never a boring moment.

Oh and there’s magic. Did I mention there’s magic?

To join in, please contact the new coordinator of activities Lady Loki (me) through asks or DMs.

🚨THIS SERVER IS 18+ ONLY, MUNS AND MUSES.🚨

For more information please contact

@multifacetedloki or @confusedsmolder

18+:

All our players need to be 18 years and older simply due to the nature of the topics that arise in the writing itself.

Discuss major plot points or ideas with the DM:

Currently our in-house @DM🧙‍♀️ is over looking the plot lines and plots. She loves it when people come to her with ideas. Or just come to her and tell her what you would like your character to experience.

Discuss things with your fellow writers:

We like to think of ourselves as open people that are open to many ideas. If your character development involves many people or even just one, don't be afraid to ask.

No duplicate characters:

This can over complicate things. However, one writer can write the same character from alternative time lines or Earths.

Muse Limit:

The amount of muses you have are determined by how active you are in the community.

OC muse limit:

One OC to every one canon character you have. You may join as an OC, but we ask you to have a detailed backstory that our DM can look over. We do make exceptions to this rule based on activity. For example, if someone joins as an OC and can only be active once a week at most, we would not pressure them to take on a canon character.

Time of leave:

Real life always comes first and we understand that people may need to take a leave of absence. But we do ask you to occasionally pop into general when you can to let us know you are okay. After all, we do worry.

In-character drama stays in-character:

Mun does not equal muse here.

No God-Modding:

This is self-explanatory. However, as an example: No one likes having their character taken from them to where they can't do anything or to the point where you are along for the ride. These aren't solo acts.

Posting order:

For larger scenes, there will be a posting order that should be followed. Falling out of sync can throw off the flow of the scene.

Blacklisting:

We encourage anyone to post what they are uncomfortable with reading in the #🚫blacklist. This is so other writers can put spoilers around the topic so that person can not read it. We would also like to point out that we do not black list characters. Having a strong dislike for a character is understandable.However, we do not want to limit someone's ability to write or stifle imagination.

Be Chill:

No one likes an asshole. We all have one—we don't need two.

NSFW:

All NSFW will be held in an invite only NSFW channel that can be muted. We understand that everyone has outside lives and don’t want NSFW content continuously popping up on their phone. Once your character gets to the point where they need a private NSFW channel please post in the #📰channel-requests section.

Bots:

Setting up bots in PK is a rather simple process that helps muns have more than one muse without having to change their name constantly. Once a mun picks up more than one character, we encourage you to make these bots for the ease of muse to muse communication. This takes out the added stress of having to change your name constantly.

Respect the mods:

Please respect the mods and their decisions they have the groups best interests in mind even though you may not agree with it. If a mod says something it is final you may comment about it however once a decision has been reached it is final.

Self-Promotions:

In regards to other RP servers and servers in general, ask before posting any invite links in the servers. This is a common rule known in the streaming community and one that we like to implement. Once you get the green light you may post the invite link in the Share section of the server. If not, we request that you do not post any invite links. Please note that all admins must approve the request.
