That Entire Scene Involving Loki’s Clothes Being Lasered Off In The Loki Show Made Me Very Uncomfortable

Born to write an essay about Loki and his similarities and differences with captain America

Forced to get an education 😭

I JUST SAW AN AD FOR ‘MORBIUS’ AND I’M SHOOK.

IT’S COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY, YA’LL. I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS SHIT.

Disney, don’t you dare let me down-

Incorrect marvel quotes

Thor, approaching the massive fortress of ice Loki constructed, followed by a small army: Brother! I am here to reclaim my place next to you! As we used to have in the old days!

Loki, addressing the Jotuns with him: Hold your fire, boys.

Thor: Tell your men to lower their weapons, I mean you no harm!

Loki, shouting: Thor, put your hands up so I know which one is you!

*Thor puts his hands up*

Loki, turning to one of the Jotuns: Kill the one with his hands up.

“What if I was a robot and I didn’t know it?” (Old)

   AU idea: (Android-Loki AU by myself, lol. Though I’m sure someone else must’ve thought of this, haha.)

   Possible trigger warnings?: Parental neglect? I mean, it’s Loki, he’s the poster child of parental abuse/neglect. Brief mention of a mortal kombat fatality-style death.

   Full idea below:

   We’ll call this Loki...Lodroid? Just for the sake of simplicity. (I might come up with a better name later.)

   In this timeline, Lodroid was made as a ‘companion’ and ‘protector’ of sorts for Thor, as he was an only child in this universe. Everyone but Thor and Lodroid knew about it, but Odin made it an unspoken law to never mention it to either of them.

   Lodroid was programmed with a ‘self-awareness protocol’ that basically forces him to avoid any thought or idea that he’s robotic. So, his mind forces him to avoid the thought subconsciously, which would be overridden by any physical proof that this is the case. (Thus why nobody is allowed to mention it.) Lodroid is also pre-programmed to see Thor as his brother and Frigga/Odin as his parents.

   ‘Magic’ infused within Lodroid’s body made him capable of magic on his own, as well as casting a disguise over his robotic body to make him seem organic. (Like how he was cast over to not look like a Jotun in the OG universe.) His robotics also made specifically to seem as ‘asgardian’ as possible. (Ie: He can eat and drink, which is turned into fuel to power him, he needs sleep, he feels pain, he feels emotion, etc.)

   For many years, he ‘grew up’ alongside his brother Thor, Odin, and Frigga. (Odin still neglected him, he was still ignored and basically bullied by the other Asgardians, etc. Frigga still was kind to him though, still seeing him as her son, even if he was artificial, as she knows that he still has emotions and thoughts.) 

   So, it basically remains pretty similar up until the events of ‘Thor’. When they end up in Jotunheim. Here, Lodroid’s arm is grabbed by the Jotun, but instead of turning blue, his skin starts to crumble like it does for everyone else. Lodroid panicked and in pain, lashes out. Remember when I said he was a ‘protector’ as well as companion? He was outfitted with weaponry, which only activated here, when both brothers were in critical danger. Lodroid’s palm fires a blast of highly concentrated energy, which basically fires right through the Jotun (Fatality, Loki wins)

   Of course, this wasn’t normal magic, Lodroid was well-aware of that as soon as he realized what happened. But if not his usual magic, what was it?

   Thor gets sent to earth, and Lodroid goes mad trying to figure out what it was. Then, it clicks. He finds the beam matched that of the destroyer's almost exactly. Lodroid figures out that there’s an enchantment cloaking him and while standing in front of a mirror, uses his own magic to override the illusion. Only to be met with a terrible sight.

   Lodroid is met with mechanics, metal, and two green, glowing camera shutter optical lenses. (I imagine it looks similar to a mixture of C-3PO and a terminator.) And now he can see it: ‘Self awareness protocols disengaged’... ‘System procedures visible’...  ‘Information overload in progress’... ‘Emotional levels reaching critical’...  ‘Systems crashing’...  ‘Oxygen levels compromised’... 

   This is the point he’s found by Odin, who finds him staring at his uncloaked appearance in the mirror. ‘Meltdown in progress’. However in this version of events, due to his not actually being organic, he’s disallowed the throne by default as he’s not recognized as Odin’s ‘real son’. (”Was I just some toy for Thor to play with until he grows bored of me?! What would you have done had you no use of me, would you have thrown me into a scrapyard?!”)

   Frigga tries to get him to calm down, oh how she tries. But Lodroid, unable to access the destroyer’s might, is basically forced to confront Thor on his own. Thor doesn’t recognize him at first, as he’s still uncloaked here, but Sif and the warriors definitely do. It’s a shock to the senses for Thor, who up until now was also in the dark about it. Sif and the others are convinced that Lodroid is irreversibly off the deep-end, Sif even mentioning in passing that she ‘saw this coming a long time ago.’ (Insert Darcy making a robocop or terminator joke, you choose, lol.)

   The fight is way more emotional than you might think it is at first. Lodroid and Thor basically ending in a tie as Thor basically tells Lodroid that regardless of what secrets may be hiding, that he’ll always be his brother. (He deserves a semi-happy conclusion to this, you can’t tell me otherwise.) Big difference in this timeline: Lodroid doesn’t go back to Asgard. He says he will once they try making the trip home (with some side eyes from Sif and the others.) but when they arrive in Asgard from the bifrost, he’s not there.

   Nope, Lodroid left sneakily. He’s off to try and figure out what to do next after this huge revelation/identity crisis. But that doesn’t mean he won’t end up appearing for ‘The Avengers’. Thor is kind of bummed out, because he can’t find his brother, but hey, at least he can visit his girlfriend here instead of just disappearing, eh?

   This post is getting long so I’ll leave this here for now. If people like it enough I might make a sequel for ‘The Avengers’.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You always got strange looks whenever you fed the neighborhood ravens. “I give them food, they give me company,” you’d say. One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, “A neighbor plots against you, my lord.”

Person: Hey, don't call that MLP character 'Derpy Hooves', that's insulting and ableist! Me: Oh, okay, what should I call her, then? Person: Call her 'Ditzy Doo'. :) Me: ...How is 'Ditzy Doo' less insulting than Derpy Hooves? Person: Well, 'Derpy' is ableist towards people with mental disabilities. Me: And 'Ditzy' is a misogynistic insult towards a woman perceived as stupid, especially if they're a blonde (Which Ditzy happens to also be). ...And you think naming a FEMALE CHARACTER 'Ditzy' is fine?

Can someone explain why people say this? How is 'Ditzy' less bad than 'Derpy'? /gen

I’m gonna be honest: I feel like superhero movies and TV shows should be animated.

There’s just something about live action that makes them, ironically enough, less ‘alive’ feeling. Movement usually feels somewhat stilted in live action to me, even in the better action sequences. Not to mention that you can just do more with animation than you ever could with live action.

(Not mentioning as well that if an actor stops working for a project, it’s far easier to get a replacement voice actor than it is to get a normal actor to replace a live action role.)

Honestly, I figured. I swear to god, I've only seen it on a single 'totally legal website', and even then, it was recorded with commercials attached.

I don't know whether to say 'don't watch it', or to say 'it's worth watching just because of how bizarre it is'.

Basically, if you're curious: It's Pokemon, except instead of commanding little monsters in Pokeballs, it's ten-year-olds commanding the Marvel superheroes in discs. It's... it's so stupid.

'Spiderman, I choose you!' type shit. The writing is even Digimon-esq, heck-

(Please reblog, I'm genuinely curious about the majority option here.)

Idk if you've been given an answer yet but vox machina is the name of a dnd campaign from these folks called critical role! It's their first campaign specifically. If you like fantasy stuff at all, even if you're not sure about dnd, you should totally check it out. They have multiple campaigns, three long form ones and a few shorter ones, all set in the same universe: exandria! It's a lot of fun. I personally use them as podcasts and background noise c:

mm! Sounds pretty neat, actually. I might look into that.

I've never played DnD myself, but it sounds pretty fun from what I've heard, and I enjoy listening to people tell stories about their experiences playing, so it might be worth a look. Especially with the idea that they're all different stories in the same universe, that's certainly interesting.

Thank you!
