As Trans day of visibility winds down, I'd like to make mention that this is a trans-friendly space. All year round, all the time.
I do not support anti-trans ideologies or anti-trans people in the slightest, including and especially that of a certain radfem writer who got her foothold in fantasy whom I shall not name. I support trans people, including those outside the binary.
Your gender identity is valid, your experiences as a trans person are valid, your pronouns are valid, and even though there are a lot of awful things trans people are having to deal with right now, I support each and every one of you.
Trans MTF, Trans FTM, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Xenogender, whatever your identity, it's valid.
Trans kings, queens, and monarchs of Tumblr, even in the face of all the bullshit you have to go through, I hope you all keep your chin up, don't let your crowns fall.
(PS: If you're anti-trans/anti-nonbinary and you're following me, unfollow right now. Block me if you must, I genuinely don't care.)
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 has a massive sweet tooth. Itās canon that Loki enjoys food from Midgard more than food from Asgard, but I headcanon that heās also fairly partial to sweets.
This is...mostly due to irl offerings to Loki apparently being sweets, but-
-One of Lokiās love languages is physical touch...but- Loki is just one of those people who, regardless of context, will often respond to sudden displays of physical affection like a passing car splashed him with puddle water. Just- freezing up with wide eyes, arms lifted away from the person while heās currently blue-screening on the inside.
...Thor is very used to this being his reaction when he hugs him.
-Lokiās usually wakes up at dawn. I literally donāt know what brought this thought on. Somehow my brain just said: āLoki wakes up at dawn and usually goes to bed really early.ā and now thatās just in my brain. So, basically, Loki was/is usually one of, if not the very first person to be awake in the Asgard palace.
-Lokiās favorite colour isnāt green, itās actually gold. He wears gold more sparingly because over-saturation is never a good thing.
-Loki is a light-weight. When it comes to alcohol and being able to hold alcohol, Thor definitely has him beat, along with...just about every other Asgardian. Besides beingĀ āOdinās sonā andĀ āThe god of mischiefā, Loki is also known in Asgard as being the easiest person in the realm to get drunk.
-Why is this so well-known is Asgard? Simple: Whenever he gets drunk, Loki turns into a party animal.Ā Thus, Thor tends to make a habit ofĀ āgently persuadingā him to join Asgardian parties so he can try to get his brother drunk. That way, his brother will have a good time. Then, he (and Sif/the warriors three) can 1. relax and not have to worry about Loki pulling some mischief somewhere. and 2. Have some nice entertainment watching Loki parade around on the tables singing and dancing.
Loki hates it when Thor does this because Loki finds his actions when drunk humiliating.
-Loki knows how to ice skate and is actually good at it. So good that at one point he genuinely considered joining the figure skating portion of the Olympic games under an alias once. This was before the events of the Thor movie, during one of his visits to earth, of course. He ultimately decided against it, (Especially after realizing how much paperwork was involved.) but Iāll tell you with 100% certainty that if heād gone through with it, he wouldāve at least placed in the top 3.
-Loki once had a crush on Sif. I feel like this isnāt that uncommon. But yeah, I headcanon that Loki had a thing for her in the past, but either he told her and was rejected, or he just gave up/found out she wasnāt interested and just moved on.
-Lokiās favorites. Yes, Iāve even come up with this, haha. -His favorite food is cheesecake (Candied apples being a close second.) -His favorite season is Autumn -His favorite music genre is Classical/Broadway-style music -and finally, his favorite flowers are Tiger lilies.
-Loki doesnāt like coffee. Yup, heās not a coffee drinker. Heās on team tea for sure, though heās also on the unofficial third team of the argument: Team hot cocoa. Heās stubborn about this, he will die on this hill.
The best part: Thor is the opposite. He loves coffee and dislikes tea (As is also said in Ragnarok)Ā so-
I...disagree with the idea of Loki being a narcissist. Ā Ā
Ā Ā Acting out the way he does isn't just a trait of narcissists but also of people with low self-esteem, (I should know, being someone who has acted in such a way myself in the past.) Loki was clearly constantly put down by others, disrespected by who he thought were his people, and generally considered 'lesser' to Thor for most of, if not all of his life for seemingly no reason at all. (He 'feels' he's in Thor's shadow because he blatantly is. There's clear favouritism not just from Odin, but from all of Asgard.)
Ā Ā He never wanted the throne, nor did he actually want power or popularity, he just wanted someone to tell him that he was worthy, he wanted someone to tell him he was worth something and that he wasn't a monster like the other Jotuns were. (This is far clearer in the deleted scenes, where Loki hesitates to take the throne in the first Thor movie, and even looks to his mother, the only person who really seemed to love him, before taking it. As well as his clearly more lovable interactions with Thor before it was revealed that he was Jotun.)
Ā Ā I mean, hell, he tried to commit suicide at the end of the first Thor movie when his father, whom he tried to get recognition from, and who was certainly the biggest issue with his self-esteem, rejected him yet again.
Ā Ā I feel like this is most prominent when you take into account that he IS a Jotun, a being that he was raised to hate and fear. He believes he's a monster, and that coupled with his already problematic self-esteem just makes it apparent that he has the exact opposite problem that a narcissist has. Ā He does deeply care for other people as well. Frigga being the biggest example, in Dark world, he was heartbroken and devastated by her loss. (And the fact that the last thing he said to her was that she 'wasn't his mother' certainly didn't make it better.) Or in Infinity War, where he recognizes Thanos' plan to kill 'half' of everything, so, seeing as he's one of two brothers, gets Thanos to kill him so Thor will get out safely. Literally sacrificing himself for his brother, who he, on all accounts, shouldn't have cared enough to help there if he was a narcassist.
Ā Ā The mind stone and the sceptre weren't mind controlling Loki, but it was messing with his head, as is seen in-universe as well as mentioned in interviews. This is seen where he stabs Thor, as he's clearly shaken by what he's just done, even if you can only see this reaction for a few moments. He also doesn't believe in what he's saying in Avengers when he's telling the people around him to kneel, that's why Phil claims that he lacks conviction: Because he really does, he's doing all of this because he's hurting, and the mind stone is manipulating him, he doesn't actually believe anything he's saying there.
Ā Ā Before anyone brings it up as well: Ragnarok and the Loki TV show are pieces of MCU lore that should be taken with a grain of salt. Many things said in Ragnarok are inconsistent with the other movies (See Sif apparently having to prove that women can be warriors, yet, the Valkyries existed. Or the fact that apparently the Valkyries died before Thor's time but Thor always wanted to join them? Or the 'we were eight at the time' line, when Thor and Loki, being Asgardian/Jotun, age differently than humans, so by that point, would've actually been infants. The Loki show as well, Sylvie and the entire situation revolving around that comes with many character and story inconsistencies, such as magic seen not working in the TVA but apparently Sylvie can still use it in another episode.)
Ā Ā Basically, from where I'm standing, this diagnosis doesn't seem to make any sense? It makes more sense to say that he's faking narcissism just so he can look strong and more in control, while on the inside continuing to feel unworthy and unlovable. Lashing out not because he's truly hateful, but because, as you've said in another video: 'Hurt people, hurt people.' (Again, something I have sadly been through.) I'd also like to point out, in this way, his mischief seems more like a cry for help. As many will point out, if someone is neglected enough in early life, they're likely to develop a mentality of 'any attention is good attention', which seems to be pretty in-line with a lot of 'mischief' he pulls.
Ā Ā But hey, I'm not a therapist, and that's just my opinion.
Note: Narcissists arenāt inherently bad people. Donāt write them off asĀ āevilā orĀ āmonstersā. Not all of them are. Putting everyone in boxes like that for mental disabilities or neurodivergenceĀ is doing nothing but perpetuating harmful rhetoric and harming people.
...With that being said though, Loki aināt it, chief.
Real talk though: Cinema therapyās video on Loki is stupid as hell.Ā āLoki genuinely believes he is superiorā is a direct quote, and as you can read from the above post, that statement is blatantly wrong on its own.
Using the novelization of movies as evidence for something in the movie itself is really stupid.
Mainly, I'm saying this because the writer of the novelization is often a different person, who is tasked with 'expanding' on the source in their own way. Sometimes given early versions of the script to work off of, which were already scrapped for one reason or another.
So, the writer of the novelization will have a different interpretation of the story/characters than the original writers, and the movie's ideas and entire point may end up getting muddled and overshadowed by the biases and perspective of the novelization's writer.
So, to me, novelizations of movies/tv shows are far more like remakes, not bonus scenes. It follows the same formula, but it's not the same. So it makes no sense to use them as evidence for something in the original movie, whether it be about character, plot, or worldbuilding.
Same with movie-tie in video games, etc. People don't use those as 'evidence' from what I've seen, but I've seen people use movie novelizations as evidence, and it bothers the hell out of me.
Idk, I just wanted to make this post, because I'm annoyed.
Loki- Slytherin. Was there any contest? I donāt think so. His aesthetic, their personality, his vibe even, it all screams Slytherin. Thor- Gryffindor. Courage, Daringness, nerve, and Chivalry. All of those things are the main components of Thorās personality. It also works for the sibling rivalry situation between him and his brother. Captain America- Gryffindor. Iāve seen a few people argue Hufflepuff and I honestly donāt get it. Steve is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the american dream. So much so that heās willing to throw out his loyalty to the american government to uphold his moral compass. Thus, Gryffindor is the only choice for him in my book. Iron Man- I feel confident in saying heād be a Ravenclaw. His first instinct when it comes to running into a problem is using the tech he manufactured to his advantage, and using his intelligence to come up with plans that people often donāt expect. (Iron man 3ā²s ending fight scene anyone?) He literally builds his identity on his intelligence and what it grants him. Bruce Banner- In my opinion, I feel like heād also be a Ravenclaw. Shock to no-one, MrĀ āI have seven PHDs how many does Hulk haveā is a Ravenclaw. (Hulk doesnāt get his own hogwarts house.) Pietro Maximoff- Gryffindor. Pietro canāt be a Hufflepuff because like most speedsters, he has very little to no patience. Heās also the type to literally die trying to save someone, even soeone he had an unspoken rivalry with, which is far more of a Gryffindor trait than a Hufflepuff one to me.Ā Wanda Maximoff- A fellow Slytherin after my own heart. Resourceful, Cunning, and Ambitious, thereās no way that she could be anything else. She even fits the vibe of a Slytherin. Mysterious, somewhat intimidating, but isnāt outright evil.Ā Vision- Heās a Ravenclaw, no contest. This man is literally a super-computer, he has knowledge for days. Falcon- Hufflepuff. There is no other option. This man is a Hufflepuff, period. Bucky- Gryffindor. Figures Steveās best friend would share the same house. Courage, nerve, chivalry, itās all the same as it was for Steve. Spiderman- Hufflepuff. I mean, no wonder heās one of my favorites- Peter clearly has the valuing hard-work aspect of Hufflepuffs down. He greatly admires the work everyone round him puts in, and even more greatly values peopleās dedication. In terms of courage and chivalry, heās not as well-rounded in those areas imo, and while heās intelligent and clever, itās definitely not his defining attributes. And...heās not a Slytherin. I donāt think I even need to explain why. Starlord- Slytherin. Hear me out on this one. P quillās situation is a bit hard to pin down, but I think of all the houses, Slytherin fits him the best. Maybe not in general aesthetics, but in the core personality traits. Griffyndor doesnāt fit mainly because of Peterās lack of chivalry. Sure, he saved the galaxy, but in terms of genuine care for the people around him, it usually only applies to people he has a genuine bond with. Hufflepuff, he fits the aesthetic of one, theĀ āfun-loving himboā, but besides that, he doesnāt really have much in common with them. However, heās street-smart, resourceful, and very ambitious. Attempting to make a name for himself and be the leader of any group he finds himself working with. (I mean, he tries to one-up Thor constantly, after all.) Tāchalla- Hufflepuff. The aesthetics betray the core principals that make up each house I notice. As, Tāchalla isnāt the partying himbo type, but heās very loyal to WakandaĀ and his people/ancestry/culture. He does put value in hard work and dedication, and heās nothing if not a patient man. I mean his core fighting plan is waiting for just the right moment to strike, like a real panther, so- Ant-man- Griffyndor. Chivalry is his thing. He literally went to prison because he hacked andĀ āstoleā back money for people who were conned out of it. Courage? Well, heās certainly not a coward. This guy is just one of those characters that fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Dr Strange- Ravenclaw. Again: Fits very well into one specific house without much need for explanation. Hela- Slytherin. Like, as if there wasnāt already enough reasons to point out theĀ āpick which of these three is adoptedā meme-
Loki has naturally wavy hair, but they use some type of product or something to make it more sleek. They just prefer how it looks slick back like that.
(Do not reblog this with tags involving the 'Loki series'/Sylvie!)
Please Reblog, I wanna see what most people's general consensus is. Jukebox musicals, for reference, are musicals that include already-existing songs, rather than original ones. (The Book Of Life and Moulin Rouge for example.)
Ā Ā As much as we all like to imagine a universe where Loki survives Thanos and joins the Avengers in some āgood endingā plot line... I genuinely donāt think heād be an Avenger for very long, if at all.
Ā Ā Now, donāt get me wrong, Iām not saying he canātĀ ābe a good guyā or anything, but I canāt see him being an Avenger. Not only because of his bad rap with earth, not only because Thor is involved and their relationship is rocky at best, but because of the other characters.
Ā Ā I have no problem believing that Bucky, Steve, Thor, Vision, andĀ maybeĀ Bruce (Seeing Ragnarok) would be willing to give him a chance. Strange and Tāchalla...Ā maybe, if simply because they werenāt really involved with/aware of hisĀ āmishapsā in New York. However, the others? ...I genuinely canāt see them being too welcoming to him. Especially Tony, Clint, Pietro, and Wanda.Ā
Ā Ā The situation with New York I imagine would hit a little too close to home for Wanda and Pietro, so theyād at the very least be wary of him at first. Tony and Clint on the other hand, would be unabashedly cold to him. I can see Tony even borderline bullying him sometimes. (Using him as a punching bag because he was the root cause of his trauma from NY? Maybe not purposefully, but I can see him subconsciouslyĀ targetingĀ him for that reason.)
Ā Ā Other characters like Sam, Peter P, and Scott would probably only have known him through the news and other things detailing the events of the disaster, so would most likely see him as a terrorist. I donāt think I need to explain why that would cause some issues.
Ā Ā Because of this animosity, I donāt see Loki being able to be an Avenger. Not because they wouldnāt try, but because Loki just wouldnāt be able to stomach the treatment heād be levied.Ā
Ā Ā Honestly, he might be similar to Natasha in that regard. Wanting toĀ āclear his ledgerā and believing that joining a group ofĀ āheroesā would help him redeem himself. Only this time, instead of it being filled with hydra members, itās filled with people who treat him just like everyone in Asgard did when he was growing up.
Ā Ā A chance heād be given, but some characters would give it reluctantly, and some would keep treating him like a criminal until he eventually just gave up and left.Ā
Ā Ā Dunno, thatās just how I see it. Donāt let me ruin your fun though, aĀ āhappy endingā is definitely deserved for all of these characters, so feel free to disregard this little angsty headcanon of mine, lol.
Ā Ā Also, if you disagree and think Iām mis-characterizing someone or missing a piece of info, feel free to explain why. I like having discussions about stuff like this, haha. ^v^
Iām mostly going off of vibe here. (Note: ByĀ āSupernaturalā I mean things like ghosts.) Ā Ā Characters who believe in the Supernatural: Loki, Thor, Everyone on Asgard, Peter Parker, Gamora, Hulk, Bucky, Tāchalla, Scott, Wanda, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, Groot, Mantis, Darcy Lewis, Drax, Ned Leeds, Eddie Brock, Wade Wilson, Wong
Ā Ā Characters who are undecided on the Supernatural: Vision, Bruce Banner, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Pietro, Rocket, Sam Wilson, James Rhodes, Carol Danvers, Nick Fury, Jane Foster, Phil Coulson, Yelena, MJ, Venom,Ā Stephen Strange
Ā Ā Characters who donāt believe in the Supernatural: Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Peter Quill, Nebula, Peggy Carter, Shuri?,
