can we talk about Marvel official website has updated Loki’s bio that confirms the “Loki was under the influence of the mind stone” fan theory?

Not a Loki apologist here, he did what he did, but a lot of stuff, his version of how he fell from the Bifrost, that speech in Germany, especially the “sudden clarity” scene with Thor makes a lot more sense. 

Seems like after 10 fuckin years marvel saw a value in Loki and has stopped shitting on him. What a time to be alive

#tbh it was always pretty clear that we were meant to read something like that into it#and because it’s there in the original performance I’m not convinced that marvel is suddenly aware of Loki as a worthwhile character#i think someone has figured out he’s bankable#but their understanding of him has never been worse than now (via @illwynd)

Gonna be totally tacky and toot my own horn, but a) I knew it and b) I think I have a better hypothesis on how exactly Loki was influenced by the Mind Stone than anyone at Marvel does. (I think even Joss Whedon didn’t think it all the way through.)

And yes, in 2011-2013 Marvel saw Loki’s value and complexity. Fanboys and certain other actors who were jealous of Loki’s popularity (notably with women) seem to have played a role in Marvel’s decision to shit on his character in his most recent movie appearances. I’m not sure why they’re coming back around to acknowledging his complexity, other than that you can’t sustain a TV show with the cartoon character we got in Ragnarok.

Fic summary: “I imagine you’re wondering how I survived my fall into the Void to eventually arrive on Earth, looking like death warmed over (but a very stylishly attired death, I might add). It’s a fairly interesting story, if not a pleasant one, so I’m perfectly willing to tell you. I do, after all, have rather a lot of time to kill.”  After his fall, Loki finds his way into the criminal underworld of the Andromeda Galaxy, where he makes a name for himself with his unusual skills and attracts the attention of Thanos.

Chapter summary: Loki is brought as a prisoner to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier… and begins to have serious doubts about his mission.

(…or do I merely exist?)

This is by far my longest hiatus between updates: it’s been 13 and a half months since I posted the previous chapter. I’m really sorry, guys. I’ve had a lot going on in the year since my last update: I finished and defended my dissertation; I applied for a crap ton of jobs (more than 60); I finally(!!) got a job… a 1-year postdoc, which means I’m already on the job market again; I moved to Canada for this 1-year job, which has presented a variety of administrative hassles; and now I’m teaching my own class for the first time (not just TAing for a professor).

I’m also sorry that, in addition to being a year late, this chapter is shorter than usual and not much happens. Well, not much happens externally… most of the action is going on in Loki’s head. And while, as you all know, I was not on the whole pleased with Ragnarok, it did provide me with an interesting mechanism for introducing some of Loki’s doubts.

Tagging people who are/were reading: @angrymadsygin, @foundlingmother, @fuckyeahrichardiii, @iamanartichoke (I don’t know if you have been reading, but you expressed interest in the excerpt), @iamhisgloriouspurpose, @ikoliholic, @illwynd, @loxxxlay, @nursejoh53, @seidrade, @starrynight35, @writernotwaiting… and I’m sorry if I forgot anyone. Let me know if you want on or off the tag list.

Guys, if you ever speculate what Loki experienced after falling, how he ended up with Thanos, what happened to him when imprisoned by Thanos, and what Loki’s thoughts were during Avengers, I’d highly recommend this fic. @philosopherking1887 builds off of the hints we’re given in the movie and creates something very compelling.

Reblogging with kind blurb… which does a better job of explaining this sprawling mess of a fic than my non-summary does.

Coming across @philosopherking1887’s masterful writing— and then getting into some incredibly interesting, long conversations in her AO3 comments— was what prompted me to finally join Tumblr fandom close to a year ago. Just sayin. Big ups to Phil.

The Abyss Gazes Also is seriously SO much fun— sometimes the opposite of fun for Loki, but well, you know…

Like @foundlingmother said, if you want a truly fantastic, incredibly unique and introspective read through Loki’s eyes of his misadventures after the end of Thor— with sharp, clever writing that makes you go OOOHHHH every chapter with a brilliant missing piece that just snaps everything unexplained by canon right into place— you’ve come to the right fic.

Seriously, can’t recommend enough.

I’m going to keep reblogging this with the rave reviews. Tacky? Maybe. Not as tacky as that big ugly… building in the middle of New York.

Seven sentences meme

Rules: go to page 7 of your WIP, go down to the 7th line, copy the next 7 sentences, then tag 7 people to do the same.

I was tagged by several people at least 2 weeks ago – I don’t even remember who-all tagged me. @iamanartichoke, I think, and @loxxxlay, maybe @foundlingmother or @illwynd…? I don’t want to go that far back in my activity feed. Anyway, I was waiting until I actually had 7 pages of the new chapter of Abyss. I hope I’ll actually be able to post the chapter before too long…

I did not have long to ponder the
odds, because the guards leading me had come to a halt before a cylindrical
chamber, walled in glass with metal floor and ceiling, suspended by metal arms
that gripped its sides.  The one-eyed
man, Director Fury, stood on the walkway beside it, watching me intently.  The guard at the head of one of the columns
flanking me pressed a button beside the door to the glass cylinder and it slid
open.  I briefly considered what would
happen if I did not walk through the door of my own volition; these eight
Midgardians, with all their armor and weaponry and specialized training, could
not physically force me—and from Fury’s piercing gaze, at once calculating and
warning, I gathered that he knew.  Good
thing I was here of my own volition, then.
I stepped into the cell, then turned and watched the door slide closed
again.

Fury’s boots clanged like battle drums on the
metal slats of the suspended walkway as he paced over to a podium topped with
one of Midgard’s ever-present screens.

I think I’m just going to tag back whoever tagged me because it’s been long enough that I’m sure y’all have new stuff now. Who else? @incredifishface, @seidrade, @wouldyouknowmore

Chapter 3/3. Odin makes an appearance, Frigga continues to be loving but kind of clueless, and Thor and Loki have it out. (Notes: I was going to finish it and then post it in two parts, because it just got ridiculously long, but I realized if I didn’t post it all at once, I would continue tinkering and fiddling with it forever, because despite my agonizing and whining about it for the last month, I’m not entirely convinced this chapter is all that good. But, it’s finished, so there we are. Anyway, leave me comments and validate me if you manage to read the whole massive thing.) Also, fancy new cover art, yay!

Summary:

Loki doesn’t die on Svartalfheim. A pity. He deserves death, and his cell no longer offers safety. Asgard clearly does not possess the strength to ward against Thanos.

There are other ways to stay safe. To protect Thor and Frigga, provided she recovers from her wounds. He could leave. He could take the Tesseract to someone the Mad Titan cannot match.

So Loki does.

IT’S FUCKING DONE!

Thank you to everyone who left supportive comments on the memes where excerpts from this fic were posted. I hope the whole story proves to be worth the wait.

It’s time to tag people who may not have seen this but expressed an interest in it (and by that I mean liked posts about the concept/with quotes)! If possible, reblog the original post. I’m not sure whether or not Tumblr’s fixed that notifications glitch where you get an email each time a post tagging you gets reblogged.
