a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?
I am still very much here for your Skrull Thor fic. And there is an anti-Ragnarok contingent, even among Thorki shippers. I’m sure all 4 of us will read it 😛
yeahhhh i need to write the skrull thor fic too. but that one will probably end up being Long so it is intimidating me at the moment
and yeah but i feel rather lonesome even among many who dislike ragnarok, because a lot of it is for different reasons, with different points of contention. it’s hard to write (or at least share it) when you’re pretty sure nobody is on the same page
I think the anti-Ragnarok Thorki shippers (and now that I come to think of it, there are at least 7 of us, counting you) agree that Thor’s character was butchered much worse than Loki’s. The same is true of at least one non-shipping fan of both Thor and Loki. The reason most of the criticism harps on the damage to Loki’s character is because most of the dislikers are Loki fans foremost and many of them never liked Thor very much, if at all. And I’ll admit to jumping on that wagon when it comes around, because I identify with Loki and was more personally wounded/insulted by the way his character was handled.
But that’s assuming I understand/remember what your main objection is, which I might not. It’s been a while since we’ve discussed it.
Oh P.S. I remember one time you asked for suggestions of a gift Loki could give Thor that would actually be kind of terrible and I suggested recreating a memory/experience through illusion… did you ever end up doing anything with that?
i… honestly don’t even remember that conversation. i wonder what i was trying to do with that 0_o???
I went digging through my inbox and found something from August 15, 2016. I had sent the following as an ask:
“This isn’t a very well-developed idea, but maybe Loki’s gift to Thor could be some kind of elaborate illusion? A fantasy fulfillment kind of thing? Not necessarily sexual, though – people have already done the sexy doubles thing to death, but maybe more like… reproducing an experience from their childhood? Which may or may not go over well…”
And then you answered: “Oh man. That is fuckin perfect. *evil grin* I am sorry for what I am about to do with this wonderful idea. :DDDD”
But I don’t recall that you ever did anything with it. Your spooky fic from 2016 seems to have been “Dead wings carried like a paper kite,” which was unbelievably creepy but unrelated.
bring this back and suddenly capitalists don’t wanna go to war no more
Bring this back bc tbh its just common sense. If you truly think war is the best and only way to solve a dispute, then you must be willing to die for that cause.
