#valk enslaved him

[mysticmjolnir]

Ragnarok

So it’s been a night since I saw it and I’m gonna try and put some thoughts down because I have so many of them,

Masculinity - ugh, ughhhh i loved how it dealt w it, i mean, i don’t really enjoy thor + hulk’s dick swinging rivalry but i super love how it paid off, w hulk trying to smash surtur and thor yelling at him to stop bc being a good king and a good man isn’t just about strength and smashing and being the last one stranding on a battlefield it’s about being clever and brave and making sacrifices when necessary and i feel like this was SO IMPORTANT but also subtle enough not to ruin the point in the making of it. 

HELA my goddess yes my fallen angry firstborn this explains those angela of hel comics i guess or at least puts them into a context ignore me but HELA perfect lovely foil for thor and loki both the way malekith SHOULD HAVE BEEN, she’s bitterness incarnate but who was her mother was frigga her mother i don’t think so? but i want to know about hela and frigga’s relationship WHAT DID FRIGGA THINK ABOUT ALL THIS SOMEONE WRITE THIS

ALSO WHERE IS JORMUNGANDR WHEN DO JORMUNGANDR AND THOR TEAM UP THORBKF9HW0RVFZ C-[ THOR LOVES SNAKES GYUS. THOR. REALLY. LIKES. SNAKES.

Fenrir is FINE he just fell off the edge of the world thor and loki have done that already and they’re fine Fenrir is fine he lands on jotunheim and he and the ice beast have lots of fun chasing each other.

Asgard is a people - this was almost entirely symbolic bc we didn’t meet any of those people but i don’t even care it doesn’t matter it just matters that thor chose them.

The Revengers is a much better team name than the Avengers

Valkyrie is perfect and i love her

The four of them - hulk and valk and loki and thor all running away from their problems (but of course, it’s the woman who has the hardest to bear, losing all of her sister warriors and her identity and her home and spending centuries drinking away the pain and enslaving people what the fuck valkyrie seriously though i love but also don’t do that what the shit did you go through to turn you into a slaver it’s not okay don’t do that)

what is balder lol

brother i would give you a hug if you were here bbbut then no hug they didn’t hug they must have hugged they hugged each other’s clothes off

that elevator talk though, thor accepting what loki wants what he has demonstrated he wants - not your brother, leave me alone, i clearly hate you look at me hating you - and then besting him at his own bloody game and leaves loki twitching in agony for what? another 30 mins let’s say WITH ABSOLUTELY NO GUILT WHATSOEVER only the same kind of sneer that loki would give him in the same position and then loki’s like ok w/e you get it now i’m ready to be chill for a while UGH SO PERFECT GIMME GIMME

i don’t understand how the grand master didn’t notice loki’s boner during the arena match. maybe he did and didn’t want to address it.

LOKI NOT ENJOYING THOR BEING BEATEN UP until thor gets the ragdoll treatment bc NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and then going right back to being worried.

equalising and thor showing the way - loki’s identity fell apart except for being the shadow when he learned abt being jotun - thor is PISSED but he can no more turn away from asgard than he can turn away from himself and loki can follow (for) now

i do not care about stephen strange

THE STATUE THOUGH. AND THE PLAY. YES. IT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. 

thor thor thor thor lightning lord of thunder thor thor thor thor that’s what a hero does thor thor thor thor thor thor a crazy old man cut off all my hair thor thor thor thor 

hela didn’t call thor brother and that is my one complaint tbh. also fenrir didn’t eat the sun

when your foundation is made of blood and lies and gore and pain and you didn’t KNOW everything you thought was true is actually a loving lie to make you happy and complacent just let it all burn and walk away don’t burn with it. (dorian pavus/thor crossover fic now please)

LAUFEY AND ODIN CEILING MURAL

Fanfiction Writer Appreciation Day Rec List

First off I just want to give a special shout out to some awesome amazing writers!

@kendralynora​, @crimsoncat21​, @offbrand-valk​, @roguekniightone​, @nerdsbianhokie​, and @grey-haven​!!

*hugs forever*

Bringing Him Home (The Martian) by; sasstronautmarkwatney (msindyjones): It's a long 211 day trip on Hermes before the Ares III crew returns home and Mark has some major adjusting and recuperation to do.As well as a look at how NASA (and the rest of the world) is preparing and reacting to the crew's final flight back.

I rec’d this fic last year (check that out!) and I’m doing it again because this fic truly is something special. It’s an amazing epilogue with needs to be shared with everyone. Please read this!

The Little Things (Room) by; PennySerenade: What life was like before Jack came into the world. The violence and despair Ma experiences at the hands of Old Nick after she's kidnapped.

This fic gave me chills. Seriously. It’s amazing. Opposite of Bringing Him Home it’s more of a prequel. There’s a chapter from the antagonist’s perspective that is just chilling. The desperation, fear, despair, and hope is perfectly written. I aspire to write like this. Please read this!

The Winchester Series (Supernatural): The Winchesters (part 1) by; Deadmockingbirds: Dean gets spiked with a drug that is being used in this world to give people a second chance at life. Only Dean liked his old life fine, but after a hunt gone wrong he ends up as the adopted child of the Winchesters. Problem is, he still has all of his old memories and can't quite let go of the fact that he's twenty-eight and not a toddler. Not to mention, he wants revenge on whoever did this to him. If only having Cas and Sam as parents wasn't so damn wonderful; this whole acid trip would be easier to figure out.

Another one that I rec’ed last year. I was curious so I clicked on it. So worth it. It’s an adorable child fic with bits of angst. Perfectly balanced between angst and fluff. An amazing fic. As a writer I have a hard time writing young children yet they truly excel at it. A true inspiration!

How to Take Care of Angels and Little Animals (Supernatural) by; remivel: Gabriel is tired of having to listen to Castiel's woes about the Winchesters, so he decides to take matters into his own hands... and turns Castiel into a furry pet for the Winchesters to take care of. Now with Russian Translation (by Марлюшка): part 1. part 2.

This is such an adorable kitten!Cas fic. It has Gabriel turning Cas into a kitten with Destiel undertones. I feel that speaks for itself. It’s amazing. 

Daisy Chained (Supernatural) by; Tulkika (Zairafuana): After a hunt gone wonderfully right, Sam makes an innocent mistake. He had only picked the flower because he had thought it was interesting and had wanted to share it with his family. He had no way of knowing that it would chain him to an old "friend" or the horror it would cause to that friend.Now, enslaved by guilt, Sam does his best to right his wrong by caring for his new companion. He's about to find out if his track record of love over-coming betrayal will stay strong.Meanwhile, Dean and Castiel try to let their growing relationship bloom. It's just a bit hard when their siblings are suffering.

Another fic I clicked on while Ao3 scrolling and was curious. Sabriel is a major ship in the fic with Destiel being more of a subplot. I’m not really a Sabriel shipper but I really enjoy this fic. It’s a super interesting plot. Gabriel is hurt, Sam’s guilty, and Dean’s trying to save the day. 

The Mute!Cas Verse (Supernatural) by; Princess_Aleera: Cas pisses off Rapheal who in turns steals his grace and his voice. Where a mission goes horribly wrong, and Castiel gets his wings plucked off for it.

Yet another pick from last year because it’s amazing. The hurt/comfort and angst is just so perfectly written. Cas pushing everyone away and Sam and Dean (especially) trying to help him regardless. It hits all my hurt/comfort, angst, and family trope boxes.

Angel Training (Supernatural) by; Zafona:  A world where angels are common only scratches the surface of this story. Privileged people are able to own one, control one; angels are enslaved and pushed to their limits. After ten years this is normal, at least until Dean is given a freshly caught angel for his 18th birthday. Training Castiel to be 'normal' isn't quite what Dean had expected. The struggle to open people's eyes to the equality that angels deserve is one shared between Dean and his brother. Though they take different approaches to getting there, they have the same goal in mind and each path ends up relying on the other more than anticipated. Join Dean, Castiel, Sam, and Gabriel in a long and enduring fight against inequality, hypocrisy, and more hate than they know what to do with.

Another previous year pick. Oh god, where do I start with this fic. I only wish I could write something as brilliant as this. It’s truly a fic that sets up a challenges and completely compelling plot and subplots and follows through very well. It’s a very nuanced and compelling fic with various complexities. The author deals with all this like a true professional.

The Art of Stealing Souls (White Collar) by; PeachWord: Phillip Kramer, in the midst of helping Peter retrieve stolen treasures, keeps Neal in line. Set in Season 3.

This is such a sad fic. Graphic, but does check off hurt/comfort and angst boxes. It’s a great depiction of hurt/comfort. 

The Journey Back from Hell is a Long One (White Collar) by; Ashley5627: One month ago a man disappeared, leaving his anklet, fedora and friends behind. One month ago his handler lost someone that he had considered a friend, but after his disappearance became doubtful if their friendship was just a means to an end or not. Eventually, the man is found, but definitely not in the state his friends had thought that he would be in. Neal!Whump.

Another fic that brilliantly shows Neal hurt/comfort. You may have noticed from these picks but I’m such a sucker for hurt/comfort, angst.

Return and Rebuild the Desolate Places (White Collar) by; elrhiarhodan: Six months after Neal disappears at the end of Season Five, Peter still has no answers and his decision not to go to Washington has had significant repercussions for both his career and his marriage.

This has such great and compelling plot. Numerous complexities and nuances that are handled very well. So much hurt/comfort and angst. It’s truly amazing. 

A Different Life (White Collar) by; TotalpanikAU: Neal is a six year old boy living on the street.

This is another fic (Like the previously rec’ed, Winchester Series) where the balance of angst and fluff is just right. It’s kid!Neal as a little shit but also just a child with his own issues due to his past. It’s fluffy, angsty, and really well written. Truly awesome. 

White Collar: The Labyrinth (White Collar) by; Phoenix_crysg1: Horror survival, psychological thriller, hurt/comfort type story. Kidnapped Neal and Peter find themselves held in a maze of forgotten tunnels beneath the city in a fight to keep themselves and each other alive. WARING: Violence, some gore, but *no* sex or anything of that nature.

Last but certainly not least. The author said that they didn’t really have a plot for this fic at the beginning and don’t really know where it’s going. It’s a plot that has truly taken on a life of it’s own. It’s an amazing nuanced fic that will keep you reading and wanting more. I told them that this fic has a truly amazing plot with truly amazing potential to be a legendary fic. Please read this!

A special shout out to all the writers I mentioned on the top of the post and all the authors who’s fics I mentioned. 

All fanfic authors are amazing, appreciated, and valued. Please never stop writing. Please continue posting your amazing work. Please tell fanfic authors that they are valued either by reaching out to them on social media and/or commenting on their fics. Make a rec list and tell the writer they’ve been appreciated and rec’ed. 

Fandom would be nothing without fanfiction.

Bros and brodettes, I keep thinking things. So when you first meet Valk you get a choice to either accept his offer or refuse it with a big 'ol exclamation point. Every single one of my OCs has refused. But I think maybe it's kinda stupid for a good leader. You just witnessed his über fleet. Marr's ship didn't last 10 minutes. You saw loads of droids at his disposal. You saw all them lightsaber wielding knights. You just saw Marr get his ass handed to him with a flick of Valk's hand. You know nothing you have can defeat him. You know if you piss him off, he will have no qualms blowing up or enslaving your portion of the galaxy. Death tolls don't seem to matter to Vitiate. Wouldn't a smart leader or a Jedi sacrifice a bit of their integrity, swallow their pride for a minute, and accept? There's the old saying, "better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path". That kind of implies you're being a little bitch and saving your own skin, but like...maybe just maybe it might save trillions of lives also. And both choices you get aren't coded with light side or dark side. Interesting stuff. And if you're his "ally" you can try and subvert his efforts, ya know, cuz you're alive. I think maybe my next OC, who happens to be hella smart and bends the rules a bit, will accept. Yaaaa it doesn't matter, but if this is a role playing game, I'm gonna role play. Interesting shit to think about.
