DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
So……release the new Captain Marvel’s trailer and announce a new Loki’s series on the same day wasn’t a good idea for her(??) x’D hahahahahaha
So … you can’t be a Loki fan who’s also a feminist, who….would give a female protagonist a Full Day™ to shine in the spotlight?
I don’t want to pooh-pooh what’s clearly just a joke here, but this is the kind of thing that makes Loki fans look like privileged manpain mcwhiteboy stans.
Maybe I’m being too idealistic, but I really do believe mature adult feminist fans can sideline Loki long enough to give Captain Marvel her due recognition????
FUCK narratives that force a child to forgive their shitty parent out of guilt and/or obligation!!!
//So like three months ago @makerofrunevests asked me to run a meta on the ceiling frescoes in Thor: Ragnarok. I’ll be aiming to write that up tomorrow because I finally went back through and took good screenshots of them. 👌
This is also your friendly psa from Loki Mom Friend to REGISTER TO VOTE, IF YOU ARE AMERICAN. 👌👌👌👌 DOWN WITH THE MOLDY ORANGE FASCIST AND HIS RIGGED CONGRESS. 👌👌👌👌
// :’’) This has been sitting in my inbox since this morning and I have just held onto it because it is encouragement that I really needed, thank you <333
I hope Loki is in A4 at all, and while it’s all but confirmed now, I can’t seem to access the excitement I used to have at the prospect of new Loki footage because…so much of the official content treats him so poorly :’’’’)
“There is but one thing you should be doing when your face is on my crotch,” Loki comments, bemused and breezy, intent on moving not an inch as his fingers glide effortlessly over his keyboard. “So hop to it, love.”
He at least pauses long enough to dance his fingers through Tony’s hair.
“Did you know computer coding is alarmingly similar to Runic sequencing? Really, I think I could hack into your lamentable president’s shady history with the Kremlin, at this rate. So you really had better give me a reason for a good distraction.”
Loki laughs through bared teeth; the noise is both merry and predatory, a run of harsh breathy little cackles. It’s one among a host of Loki’s laughs, and not his kindest. Still, he’s generous enough to applaud Bernadette, languidly rise from his seat and turns the Purgatory-spear over.
And stabs it into a wooden beam inches from her left ear.
And juts his lower lip in evaluation.
“Works fairly well, really. I salute you.”
He snatches up the box containing the rest of the blades, the way a fox carries a dead muskrat in its jaws across a snowy tundra, to bury safely in some secret stash in the ground.
About four years ago, a flurry of anons challenged me when I said that I wished Tom Hiddleston would stop batting around the term “psychopath” to describe Loki, even if under duress from the Marvel execs, because of the highly ableist nature of the term. It’s not only clinically outdated, it’s also too often used in popular lingo interchangeably with “crazy” and “evil.” The problem inherent to this is that clinical insanity–perhaps more sensitively deemed “mental illness”–is an entirely discrete dimension of personhood from ethical compass.
