Loki: I really want someone to pay attention to me all day long.
Thor: Sorry Loki I’m busy.
Odin: Sorry Loki I’m busy.
Grandmaster: Who wants attention???
Loki: !!!!!!!
Thor: Loki No
nothing more embarrassing than holding a blonde man dear in your thoughts. you were supposed to be the enemy.
I like how this one is glowing like a powerful magic tome
I forget how much of the X-Men movie verse is just
Charles: my old friend, my love, we could have retired to a house by the sea where no one knows us and I would have kissed you in the sunshine and tenderly fed you fresh fruit every day for breakfast had shit not gotten real. Please reconsider your decision to kill us.
Erik: I still dream of that house by the sea and making love to you every night and bringing you your tea made just how you like it every morning, my love, my old friend. I'm gonna kill you now.
Me first seeing the movie: Ha, The Grandmaster is hilarious and That Scene where he winked at Loki, and Thor had a beat of blissful ignorance before succumbing to a minor collapse of mind at the image thus created, was A++, one of my favorite things. Also showing off the differences between Loki and Thor’s approaches to surviving on a hostile planet–Thor punching people spectacularly and Loki cozying up to people spectacularly–was a great use of The Grandmaster to give the mains characterization. Frostmaster is not really on my radar, though. I don’t get it, really??? It’s a bit silly? Loki probs just strung him along to keep the interest.
Me a week after seeing the movie: Hmm, but ~actual~ sugar-baby Loki is a nice image. HMMmmm. And let’s be real, Jeff Goldblum was enjoyable as heck every minute he was present, I want more. I kind of like the thought that these ridiculous losers had a good time together off-screen. Like, these two gorgeous fails are the only ones getting the good sex in this film while Thor and Bruce are off almost dying, because that’s the funniest idea. Also just–for once in his life, Loki’s twisty brain concocting a plan that serves him more well than first assumed, instead of turning into a complete dumpster fire. Picture Thor saying ‘Really???’ with the entirety of his face and, like, soul, and Loki having to respond with a weird flippant shrug and satisfied smile that is never mentioned again. A little crackship that I’m lightly into, OK.
Me now: Wait a second. Wait. These two??? make a disturbing amount of sense??? Both of them are super powerful and could kick ass, but they would rather spend their day lounging around getting served grapes and making fun of people. The Grandmaster would be the only person ever to think Loki’s stab-y tendencies and betrayals are ‘feisty’ and ‘playing hard to get’, respectively, and be totally chill about them. Loki would get pampered by an older man (a balm for this man’s daddy issues tbh), getting all these pretty clothes and such to set his vanity at peace, and be 'the first paramour/main bitch’ instead of second fiddle for a change. Both would be fine with space to themselves to create their own trickery. Morality is p similar and Loki would be a beautiful Saakar royal due to the inherent chaos of the place. Fulfilling philosophical conversation with each other as they sneer at the less witty around them. Both too charming for their own good, to the point where you like them even when you shouldn’t–as if this isn’t a prime power couple staple. Imagine: everyone around them wondering what the heck their relationship even is because it’s so weird and both of them delighting in such gossip. Oh. So I might legit ship this, huh?
ancient vampire characters who pursue teenagers like.... romantically... you are absolutely swagless. die
Goblin Queen and Jean Grey
I am a huge fan of X-men and I am absolutely loving 97, so expect more art from me in the future!
(also possibly a new style what do you guys think?)
