Loki

Hello everyone!

This post is gonna be different from the usual marvel prompts, and questions, I post. This time I want to give my perspective and opinion on my favorite character, Loki. He is a fascinating character, full of complexities and fundamentally 'human' in a way.

I wanted to share my thoughts, feelings, and ideas here to basically have a place to discuss different characters and how they are meaningful to us.

Without further ado...

Loki

Loki is a character that gives off so many emotions when you first see him, and varies on when you see him and what media: evil and vengeful in EMH, Cocky yet willing to change in AA, Calculating and then sporadic in the MCU. Comic Loki? A whole lot of character development that I don't even know where to start.

Admittedly I have had the chance to read much of the comics sides a few, and haven't watch all of AA or EMH, but I did research for this. Also I just watched a lot of stuff on YouTube of Loki from all sides.

Now when it comes to his character, you can't exactly put down a few words to describe him. Loki is a character that feels like a person, complex and confusing. Trying to simplify Loki is unintentionally blocking out the other aspects of him.

Loki is a character that has been abused and abandoned from basically the beginning of his life. Left to die by his biological father, taken in by a new family and then raised to hate his kind essentially, then told later that he was going to be a bargaining chip, fighting his brother as a form of lashing out, being done enough with all of it to try and end his life, to being found and potentially tortured by Thanos.

That alone comes from the MCU, but a majority of that still happens in the other timelines. It's explained through hints and out right underlined that Loki was neglected emotionally and physically by his father, put into Thor's shadow, and put down for being different in the ways of Asgard- using magic rather than tactical fighting.

Loki grows envious and resentful because of this. It makes things worse when it becomes clear that Loki was also put through a lot of pain. Like having his mouth sewn shut and a mythical snake dripping venom on to you. What Thanos probably did...

To me, Loki is a traumatized person. From day one he was abandoned and left to die, only to be taken in and strip of any agency on who he would be. Everyone, including Thor, either pushed the villainous label onto Loki or harassed him for not being a true warrior.

Loki has been shoved in the back, pushed away, and told he isn't as great or ever will be as Thor. Leaving him probably lonely, hurt, angry, and envious: 'What does Thor have, that I don't?'

Loki's complexities come in when you further understand that he does want to be the hero, he wants to do good- he just doesn't understand how. He is constantly tempted by mischief that it poses an obstacle to Loki making the decision to pick an outcome. This is added on to the fact that eventually he gives up and choice at all, taking up the villain roll as the only choice he perceived he had left.

When you're constantly told something, eventually you'll think it's true. Loki gives up and lets the pain swallow him into a world of consistent anger and envy.

So what do I feel about Loki? He is a person repeatedly hurt by others, left behind, and is indifferent to or active to end his life.

But he does get a chance to change. Slowly as he starts to heal he becomes more open, playful, caring. He even finds himself having a better relationship with Thor, having his family back. He even befriends and joins the avengers. In one comic he surprised Clint be being his valentine.

I love Loki, as a character and his story. No matter what media you choose, Loki's story has the power to move you. He is the most human character I've seen that rivals Tony.

Loki helps me too, by being a character who I can relate to with painful memories of my own. Feelings of abandonment and envy of others, not understanding why I was treated differently compared to others.

I don't feel comfortable sharing much of my past here, but just Know that my experiences aren't that intense as Loki's.

To conclude this post: Loki is fascinating in the fact that he contains the element of being a human character (despite being alien), being shown in the story his anger, pain, despair, the fear he can feel, his loneliness. We can feel the change within Loki overtime as well: feeling how happy he is, how much safer he feels, and how much vulnerability he is able to allow himself now.

Loki is my all time favorite mischief maker, god of chaos, and just my favorite character I love to watch create a hilarious mess.

Another Marvel prompt, you know the drill!

Steve has Clint watch over Tony as he goes to a gala, explaining the concerning information JARVIS shared with him about Justin Hammer and Mr.Stone. Clint agrees to watch over Tony for the night. The info bothering Clint as well.

Apparently the two were planning something, from previous conversations Tony had with them. Clint didn't like it, nor did he like Tiberius Stone. Tony's ex. He was too shady, uncomfortable to listen to when the creepy fuck talks about Tony. Talking like Tony was noting more than a pleasure toy.

Clint followed Tony to the gala despite him repeatedly saying he didn't need a babysitter. He wasn't leaving Tony's side if he had any say, and he was even more motivated when he saw who was already making way towards them. Tony's ex boyfriend.

Clint was going to deck this motherfucker in his throat.

Clint gets his chance to do just that after Tiberius and Justin try to kidnap Tony, drugging him and using robots to snatch him without raising suspicion towards them. Clint knew anyway, the tech was obvious Justin's work- utter shit.

Getting the job done and saving Tony from the idiots, he takes him home to patch up any scratches and helping him wait out the drugs. Tony can't help but thank Clint for protecting him. As a thanks, Tony kisses Clint on the mouth... then passes out cold.

Clint is both flustered and concerned about Tony. He puts Tony to bed, with the intent on talking about that kiss later. Hopefully that conversation ending with Clint having a husband boyfriend.

Am I valid if I’m tri but prefer to be predominantly veiwed as fem?

Am I Valid If I’m Tri But Prefer To Be Predominantly Veiwed As Fem?

Hell yes! You are always going to be valid, you know why? Because it is your choice on how you express your gorgeous self! If the identity you find yourself to be, so long as it makes you feel more authentically yourself, you'll always be valid!

Just remember that identity is fluid, you just need to find who you are by what feels right. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Another Marvel prompt!!!

Stephen Strange has a little quirk that he really hates, especially when others find out. When he gets sleepy he ends up looking like a little kid, rubbing his eyes with his hands like a kid and even yawned adorably too. When ALL the Avengers find Stephen sleepy and yawns they fucking melt, all of them wanting to pick him up and cuddle with him.

That's exactly what the avengers do. Thor and Loki are the ones to easily capture Stephen when they find him sleepy, Tony and Steve being second. Natasha is the one nobody fucks with when she spots Sleepy Strange, I mean come on- you know why. Clint practically kidnaps the mage the moment he hears that yawn, taking him to his floor to coddle him, give him all the cuddles and just drown him in affection. This continues with every other avenger down the list.

Stephen is so goddamn embarrassed and tries to hide away when he is tired. But try as he might, they always seem to find him. He wonders how this is his life now. He also can't lie and say he doesn't like the cuddles, head pats, and so forth. The poor mage is touch starved bad.

MARVEL PROMPT TIME :D

Prompt: Loki has been an avenger for a few months now, became friends with Clint (He settled their differences and argued that everyone on the avengers got a second chance, so Loki himself should too.), and is making progress making amends with Thor. (Thor has already forgiven Loki, but allows Loki to sort out his feelings and helps him repair damages done.)

One thing about Loki, however, is that he doesn't ever speak up when he needs something he deems a weakness. That being affection, medical attention, or help with anything that confuses him. He seeks nothing out for affection, believing he doesn't deserve it and it makes him weak, he patches himself up after every battle, and if anything confuses him he seeks the knowledge by himself. He just... doesn't understand how to ask for any of it.

One thing that Loki wanted most nowadays was simple, hugs. Loki loves hugs, to be held and feel safe. But more than that, Loki loves to be carried. To be picked up and carried around, held protectively in the person's arms. He missed feeling safe, feeling wanted, although he didn't know how to approach the topic with anyone. So he remained silent about it.

That was until Hulk had picked him up after a battle, when Loki had fractured his knee and was unable to walk. He froze in place with any protests he was about to speak dying in a instant. All the Avengers were immediately concerned, then watched in surprise as Loki calmed down and snuggled up to Hulk. Purring and smiling. Almost in a drunk state, slowly drifting to sleep.

Thor later explains why Loki acted the way he did, throwing in Loki's struggle with being open about what he needs. The Avengers understood everything and unanimously decided to help Loki, by giving him hugs when they could. From Natasha giving Loki a hug from behind, Tony pulling him to cuddle on the couch, to Clint snatching Loki up and carrying him around the tower, no one let Loki feel unsafe or unloved within their home. Cause Loki was family now too.

Fanfic writers please make this a thing!!!!

Marvel Prompt!

Steve is walking towards one of Tony's 'relaxing rooms', looking for Tony himself. He had come back with Loki from a mission, both injured. Neither bothered to go to medical at all, as usual. Thor was looking for his sibling, intending to carry him to the infirmary kicking and screaming if he had to.

So it was a surprise when Steve bumped into Thor, heading for the same room. JARVIS had said that both were in this room, but left out that they were in it together.

Entering the room both Steve and Thor were surprised, the room being a small library. On two of the walls were large shelf's containing books, the rest of the room furnished with a few small tables and places to sit on the floor. Tony and Loki were on the floor by a window, a perfect view of the city, resting against each other. Loki reading quietly, while Tony rested with his head on Loki's should.

Both were clearly tired, sore, and physically exhausted. Steve, nor Thor, knew about their emotional or mental state.

Loki spots them, makes a sign to keep quiet, then simply reads some more. Steve shakes his head, amused, and Thor gives a small huff of a laugh. Thor walks over and gently pats Loki's head, murmuring how he loves him. Steve walks over to a section of wall to open a hidden panel, revealing a med kit.

Both Steve and Thor decided to give the two a break, letting them rest in their comfort place today. Tony hugs Loki's arm when Steve tried to pull him into a more suitable position, giving a small puppy whine. It also occurred now to the two that wasn't injured, the ones who had to patch up the wounded, that it wasn't going to be easy bandaging them up.

It was clear now, both were mentally exhausted. Emotionally? Strained, very strained. Nothing but some cuddles could fix it though, cuddles and snacks!
