The worst part about getting into a new fandom isn't when your favorite fic writers don't follow you into it. It's when they do and they don't share your favorite blorbos.

If I see a 'boop' option on my dash, you're getting booped.

[wnnbdarklord]

Not sure how many of these you've read, but here you go either way:

Darkness, Flooded in Light by galaxysoup is a perennial favourite of mine. Loki falls to Earth at the end of Thor 1 and winds up somewhere he can heal and recover. So much angst.

The Golem verse by Cephei - Loki as the magitech Asgardian equivalent of an android. Also all the angst.

The Great Subconscious Club series by Mikkeneko - MCU/Xmen crossover where Xavier helps Loki out after Thor messes up bringing him back to Asgard at the end of the Avengers. Starts out pretty angsty, but also healing during the course of it.

The Proper Care and Management of Cat Gods by Mac_and_Lana - Loki gets turned into a cat hybrid after an accident. Cracky premise, but treated pretty seriously, which is my favourite kind of crack.

I’m sick. 🤒

Please recommend me Loki fics. 🥺

I know it's not exactly 1:1, but "Warrior of the Mind" and "My Goodbye" from Epic the Musical give me such Gale and Mystra thoughts.

Especially these bits:

Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you? Have you forgotten to turn off your heart? This is not you I see you changing from how I've designed you Have you forgotten your purpose? Let me remind you - Warrior of the Mind

This way, you'll know what your place is This way, you can't cross the line This way, when all is over you'll keep yours and I'll keep mine This way, you won't disappoint me This way, you won't waste my time This way, I’ll close the door Consider this as my goodbye - My Goodbye

Though the rest of the latter song works better with a Gale more outwardly angry at Mystra than he actually allows himself to be. Shh, let me dream.

Hi! Do you have a link for any frostiron discord communities? I'm a new fan and can't find any groups :(

[wnnbdarklord]

If you think overturning Roe vs Wade was a win today, from the bottom of my heart, go fuck yourself.

“wow you blocked me just cuz i disagreed with you???”

yes. yes, exactly. this is a social media site. i come here to look at pictures of birds and shitpost with my friends. this is not a town hall meeting; i am not your elected official. i do not owe you my energy, my space, or my time. you and i are strangers that use the same website. i can block you for literally any reason and that’s okay. take a deep breath. block me too. you’ll feel better.

[wnnbdarklord]

Cause u @wnnbdarklord told me to do this haha so heres some sketches I did while watching Cr2

[wnnbdarklord]

Because I’ve just blocked the third new follower with pro-birth beliefs in as many days, I just want to make one thing clear:

I am completely and totally pro-choice. Pro-birth people are not welcome here and will be blocked on sight.

Probably presumptuous of me, but I couldn't resist animating this amazing art to further simulate the eldritchness! Made in PhotoMirage. I hope you like it @the-knife-emporium

My thanks to everyone involved in @thesuperiorlokiseries for the daily dose of serotonin provided.

I humbly present you a cheerful Nidhoggr geeting his new friend! :D

The Loki survey is evaluated!

In August 2021, I conducted a survey to examine what might have led to the highly divided opinions regarding the Disney + show Loki (2021). The survey gathered over 500 responses. In my survey, the majority of the respondents identify as women, but the survey also got above average feedback from non-binary and genderfluid fans. In this survey, about 75% of the respondents liked the show, 15% disliked it, and 5% felt neutral about it. Several tested variables turned out to be significantly connected to the enjoyment of the show, which converged towards three major factors affecting the enjoyment while watching the show.

Firstly, the enjoyment of non-binary, including genderfluid fans, and respondents who felt strongly about representation was moderately reduced by the execution of the representation in the show.

Secondly, respondents who had deeply desired Loki to have a love interest and those who enjoyed his interaction with Mobius reported a moderately increased enjoyment. However, a third of all respondents who liked the show reported a high preference for one of the two relationships over the other, indicating a strong rivalry among the two groups, which most likely contributed to the increased confrontations among Loki fans on social media.

The people who disliked the show did not favor one possible relationship (Mobius vs Sylvie) over the other. Thus, the shipwar is mostly limited to the fans who enjoyed the show.

Lastly, respondents who considered Loki a morally good character, liked Thor (2011), or disliked Thor: Ragnarok (2017) reported a reduced enjoyment.

The highest correlation with a dislike of the show was associated with perceiving Loki acting out of character. This may be attributed to fans who saw Loki as a morally good character and were unable to recognize him in the portrayal in the show since the show heavily depended on Loki being motivated narcissism, as a starting point for his redemption arc.

Calculated over all responses to the survey, Loki’s likeability decreased within the show, with episode 6 marking the first time the likeability of the installment surpasses Loki’s likeability as a character. Between the opinions of the respondents who liked the show and those who did not, an increasing divide is visible in the categories of Loki’s relatability, likeability, and in-character acting.

Interestingly, the starting point of the division coincides with the disbanding of the Marvel Creative Committee in 2015. Possible causalities, as well as who was the favorite Loki variant, and which characters the respondents would like to see in the second season are being discussed in the complete paper you can find here or here as a pdf.

I will try to answer possible questions as soon as possible, but it might take me several days to do so.

My thoughts go out to everyone suffering in Ukraine right now. If you can, please consider helping those in need!

Reflection: Part One

AKA: Episode Two is here.

“Anything to say in your defense?” Mobius drew his eyes away from her, his guilt evident in his expression. “Ravonna, that was Loki,” he attempted, and Ravonna tilted her head, leveling him with a skeptical look. Bold words for someone who had claimed mere hours ago he had everything fully within his control. His face reddened. “I… I know what I said, but you couldn’t actually have expected me to—” Ravonna raised a finger, cutting him off, and Mobius snapped his mouth shut.

You know, for all the complaining we do about the show, at least we aren't pathetic enough to send people anon hate (or as good as) over differing opinions about it.

Nonnie, how about some advice y’all constantly love to give us? It’s just a show! It’s just fandom! If you find yourself so affected by it to the point of harrassing people instead of just blocking them, maybe you have some unresolved trauma in your life that caused you to attach yourself to Mobius so much? You know, some sort of...oh, I don’t know, hostile attribution bias against people who don’t kiss the show’s ass.

Either way, take a deep breath, go offline for a bit, and go fuck yourself. You might feel better :)

Because Nonnie, Mobius ain’t gonna fuck you either.

Wtf is going on??

They sent me this then just deleted their blog. It's as good as sending an anon. And just as cowardly.

Didn't even get a chance to report them in time. They were already gone.

Simulacra: Part One

aka: the first part of Episode One.

His heart throbbed in his ears. His head still reeled with incessant, throbbing pain, his mind still bleeding from the scars left by the insidious tendrils that had only recently been torn away from his brain. Every muscle in his body ached with a pain that had been his most constant companion for an eternity; every bone within begged for rest and screamed for respite, the throbs of the countless ugly burns that still marred his back both a reminder and a testament to all that he’d suffered. Yet Loki knew he could not rest yet. Not when his mission—a glorious purpose entirely his own—remained unfulfilled.
