I wrote this on Twitter and it got long:
They really hated how #Loki represented the outcasts and thus had to change him to be relatable to mainstream people instead. Strip him of everything that made him unique and punish him thoroughly in the process.
They hate us so much, they couldn't let us have one badass character we could relate to. If marginalized people feel represented, or worse empowered, by such a character, it has to be destroyed.
Just like the bullies on the schoolyard tried to beat us into normalcy, the bigots in the entertainment industry forcefully strips our beloved character of everything that made him special, everything that made him one of us.
Fuck you! We still have the original MCU Loki, and we don't forget. Some of us weren't broken by you mainstream oppression machine; we resisted on that schoolyard and we resist now.
We won't disappear because you take away our #representation. People who don't fit in will always exist; dandelions through the cracks of you asphalt, if you will. You can hurt us but you will never succeed in erasing us.
I’m honestly not a big fan of Cillian Murphy’s Scarecrow. Y’know, the one from The Dark Knight trilogy?
I dunno, he just didn’t strike me as THE Scarecrow. He seemed more like a copycat criminal mimicking Scarecrow? If that makes sense?
It seemed like one of those things where ‘the real’ Scarecrow would show up during an end credits scene and fear gas his pretender while proclaiming that Murphy’s Crane was a faker.
I don’t know why I feel that way about it. That version just rubbed me the wrong way, I guess?
Maybe its the actor? Don’t get me wrong, his performance was fine, but I don’t look at Murphy and think ‘Yeah, that’s Jonathan Crane’.
Okay, I cannot stop thinking about a ‘How to train your dragon’ AU for Marvel. Would Thor have a Thunderdrum or would he have a Skrill? Loki with a Changewing perhaps? (Or maybe throw a Nightfury at him for the ‘misunderstood’ points?) Hela might have a Wooly howl to replace Fenrir? or maybe a red death for the boss battle points? I’m also fixated on the idea that Tony has a Sword-Stealer.
That and a Pokemon AU: My immediate thought for that being Loki having a Suicune, Thor having a Raikou, and Hela having an Entei. On top of that, they each also have a legendary bird? Loki has Articuno, Thor has Zapdos, and Hela has Moltres?
Leon in the original Resident evil games is fucking annoying. (Especially in RE:4) Like oh my god- shutthefuckupfortwoseconds, you action hero cardboard cutout with the clunkiest dialogue ever, fuck-!
I actually like his character in the remakes, though. His humor and one-liners feel far less grating to me in the remakes.
I know people like to rag on him because Resident Evil has trouble depicting trauma and stuff, but honestly, I prefer the writing in the remakes.
Leon in the original feels way more like the 'edgy emo' that people like to claim remake!Leon feels like imo. The constant action hero lines in the original RE:4 feel super tacky and take me out of the game a lot. (Especially the 'sing kumbaya' one at the very beginning, that one felt really awkward and clunky as hell.)

Loki felt his body tense a little as thunder surged overhead. Though he tried his best to ignore it, the sinking feeling in his stomach kept bringing his attention back every time the sound erupted. It practically shook the tower, but no doubt everyone else either wasn’t bothered or were already asleep.
Of course, Loki was awoken by it, and thanks to his discomfort, he couldn’t bring himself to fall back asleep. Not until it passed at least.
He wouldn’t admit it was a fear. The mere idea of him being afraid of thunder and lighting would’ve been laughable to anyone and everyone. ...Or at least that’s what he thought. But right as another crackle of thunder boomed outside, the light flashed through the room, making him jump, and the door to his room swung open loudly.
(Y/N) slammed the door shut behind him. He had been trying to convince himself to knock and come in for a few minutes, feeling a bit embarrassed about wanting to not be alone during the storm. But after the ear-piercing sound and the bright light, he couldn’t stop himself from throwing the door open and immediately running in. His face was drained of colour and his eyes were wide. It looked like he had just seen a headless ghost. He was trying his best to hide it, but Loki could see that he was shaking.
“...Are you alright?” (Y/N) almost couldn’t speak, he felt like there was a lump in his throat the size of an orange.
“S-sorry.” He muttered. “Can I ju-just stay in here until the storm g-goes?” Before Loki could respond, another flash and boom sounded. Almost as if a flash bang had been thrown into the room. (Y/N) let out a loud yelp, and the next thing Loki knew, (Y/N) was snuggled up to him, arms wrapped tightly around his waist as he shook wildly.
“...You’re afraid of thunder?” The slight tremble in Loki’s voice betrayed him, but at this point that barely mattered.
“It’s childish, I know. It’s...it’s just so loud.” Loki could feel him sinking against him deeper as he muttered that little explanation. (Y/N)’s entire body tense as he anticipated another strike.
It wasn’t just that it was loud though, or that it was sudden, but it was because of just how bad the storm had gotten. Shaking the tower, lighting everything so brightly that it felt like it could’ve blinded you. It just felt like it was only going to get worse.
It didn’t take long before the power went out. The storm was far too violent for the tower’s system to take apparently. The only light was coming from the moon, the city, and the lightning strikes that still seemed to shake the tower.
Loki, at this point, barely cared about his fear being found out, especially knowing (Y/N) had a similar, if not the same, fear. The two of them clutched each other tight, attempting in vain to distract themselves.
Slowly but surely, the storm started to quiet down. It wasn’t gone yet, but it had at least calmed to the point that Loki's fight or flight response had quieted as well. He took a few moments to silently try and compose himself.
“...It’s- it’s not childish. It bothers me just as much.” Loki muttered. (Y/N) nodded, unable to speak. Another clap of thunder, thankfully far quieter. “Ironic, isn’t it? Thor’s brother, afraid of thunder storms.”
After a while, Loki’s soft voice and the quieting thunder started to calm them both down. The storm began to pass, as (Y/N) found his voice and began conversing with him in an attempt to drown out what remained of the noise. Loki explained that he used to be afraid of thunder when he was a child, as he ran his fingers through (Y/N)’s hair. Apparently, there was a period of his life where he’d gotten over that fear with the help of Thor and Frigga. But after what happened on Asgard, and in the events leading up to the attack on New York, suddenly his fear had sprung up again, but far worse.
The current calming atmosphere, the conversation, and the feeling of being in each other’s arms, however? It didn’t take long before the distant sound of thunder was leaving the two asleep.
Asleep after a miraculous and unorthodox bonding experience.
I watched the first season of Hazbin Hotel and gave myself a few days to let it simmer in my head, and now I have thoughts.
(Note: I don't count anything Vivs has said on podcasts and livestreams as being canon, only what shows up in Hazbin/Helluva is canon to me, so please don't try to 'gotcha' me with anything from a ten-year-old livestream or something, lol.)
The opening scene mentioned that Adam and Lilith were equals and that Lilith left after Adam tried and failed to control her, right?
Well, as someone who was raised Christian, I'm assuming that might be a misdirect, given the bible's version of those events actually meshes a bit better with the vibes I'm getting from the story so far.
You see, in the bible, it's actually mentioned that god created Lilith to serve Adam, not that they were made as equals. God created Adam first, then Adam grew lonely and god created Lilith to be subservient to him. However, Lilith proved too independent and was replaced by Eve - who was literally 'made' more subservient due to being created through one of Adam's rib bones. (Side note: Adam eating ribs in the show is hilarious.) After Eve's creation, Lilith was basically kicked out of paradise and became a demon.
Now, I'm not saying that the story will/should make it exactly that, or that I expect it to be 'more accurate'. What I am saying is, I think at some point, we might end up getting a 'hey, god's a douche actually and enabled Adam like an entitled child and that's why he's such an asshole' angle to the story.
I think this fits mainly because there seems to be a 'heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be' vibe, as well as the fact that from what I've seen, the older testaments are the versions Viv is using mainly for inspiration and the older testaments, if you know anything about them, tend not to characterize god as being the most... 'merciful' sometimes. (Turning people into salt pillars, drowning the entire world, asking Abraham to sacrifice his son on a mountaintop, etc.)
With that in mind, I also feel like Adam's probably gonna come back. Not as an Angel, but as a demon. At the end of the last episode, we saw Sir Pentious return to life redeemed and in heaven, so it only makes sense in my mind that if it works one way, it must work the other way around, too.
I feel like it'd be a pretty cool plotline if Adam got pulled into Charlie's Hazbin Hotel to try getting redeemed only to end up actually becoming a better person through it. With Adam's redemption becoming a way for Charlie to prove she was right definitively to heaven and maybe having a narrative timer since Adam technically counts as a sinner and would likely be targeted by the exterminators, who would have no reason to believe this 'sinner' claiming to be Adam was actually the real Adam.
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
