My personal conspiracy theory: RFK’s brain worm isn’t dead. It’s piloting him Ratatouille style. It’s been steering him to a government health office for years as part of a grand plan to deregulate food safety so more and more people get parasites and the brain worm reigns supreme over a population that is slowly being eaten away.

Personally, this is not a bad character design

But you cooked better with your first design tho

I think the problem here is that he looks too fairy/court jester-y whereas the first design was unhinged in a trickster way

Absolute eyesore of a character

spin the wheel for a genre!

while this is an absolutely great take on this issue, and i completely understand you frustration with the showrunners for royally screwing up our favorite character (as we probably all do on this side of the fandom), i would like to quickly remind the class of that time tom mentioned in an interview that he only had ~5% input in the series despite being an executive producer who should've had much more power (i really wish that i was able to find the picture of it that i had found as a source but i've somehow lost it in my files).

i personally cannot find it in myself to blame him for the destruction of his character because he has shown in multiple instances how much he cares about loki and his story (see his knowledge of loki in the comics as well as his understanding of norse mythology, especially compared to the rest of the cast in the thor movies alone). all of the issues that have occurred after 2013 usually can be directly connected back to the writers fundementally misunderstanding (or just not giving a fuck about) loki, or the director changing things last minute to make him look bad - as op said above about nerfing and deleting crucial scenes for his character, even since the very first movie.

as i previously said, your feelings on the matter are completely valid, and i respect your opinion. however, based on the information that i have as a fan (because we will likely never know about all of the decisions that went into this), it is unfair to be blaming tom for decisions that were originally out of his hands, or even ones that were taken away from him.

EDIT: I FOUND THE PICTURE GUYS

Any time I see someone say "Marvel knew what they were doing when they cast Tom Hiddleston" I feel a bit like...they didn't though? I think you're projecting some 4D chess grandmaster stuff onto Marvel Studios that doesn't really exist.

Tom was cast via Kenneth Branagh and yes it was PHENOMENAL casting but let's not pretend like Marvel Studios didn't spend the next near-decade and a half deleting Loki's scenes, killing him then instantly reviving him, deleting yet more of his scenes, killing him again, retconning killing him, sticking him off-screen for almost half a decade, removing yet another scene and not even compensating his fans with a DVD extra, killing him again, then suddenly remembering he's popular (again) and coming up with something to use a now-for-real-dead character as the lead but it wasn't exactly the same character (just another version of him) and now they're apparently done with him again when it's pretty obvious he'll be wheeled out of that tree at some point.

I love Loki. I love Tom's portrayal of Loki but the only people who have consistently genuinely seemed to care about the character are the fans. Because we've been given nothing but crumbs by Marvel and yet produce all this beautiful fan art, fan fic and meta. Marvel have just kinda stumbled around Loki like some perpetually confused pigeon in a hall of mirrors that keeps crashing into its own reflection shrugging "huh...what IS this? Ooh shiny!"

Knew what they were doing? More like lucked out with a very talented and charismatic actor and a dedicated fanbase that formed 2011-12 and is somehow, despite everything still here.

Hey, thanks for replying!

I actually have been able to clarify that it was loki contacting me. I basically used osteomancy (but with cinnamon sticks instead of bones) to confirm. I was also gifted a wooden pendulum since then, and it had worked well so far.

He's also given me some wacky dreams when I have asked. I wanted to try and use the dreams to attempt direct communication, but instead he pranked me :(

Thanks again for the help, and I'm glad to have figured it out

hey! i've been having some experiences lately that feel like loki is reaching out that i dont fully know what to do with.

so as of late, i've been lighting a candle while doing schoolwork just as a "come and chill with me" thing (i do have protections up ofc), but i keep having these experience since i've started this, being less than a week.

so i have chronic back pain from scoliosis, and i've been having minor flare-ups of pain for the past week or so (which isn't why i started the candle thing btw). but since i have started this, i've been getting this strange sensation in my spine. like it feels almost like a breeze that goes up my spine, but on the inside, like through my spine and muscles themselves. i wish i had a better way to explain the feeling, but since i've started this practice that's been happening, which has never happened before and i have been unable to find a scientific explaination for this.

the reason i'm thinking this is loki is mainly just based on intuition (whatever little of it i may have as a beginner). the action just feels like him in a way that i can't explain (which, as i am writing this, it is happening more so it almost feels like a confirmation :') ). i don't feel comfortable trying to read the candle flame bc its a shitty cheap candle that is behaving in the way that a low-quality candle would behave (according to my meager research in trying to find an answer to this). i also am very bad at tarot/runes at the moment and don't feel truly confident in getting an answer from them due to my inexperience.

do you have any suggestions as to what i can look into to possibly confirm/deny what's going on?

thanks so much for your time :)

This is a late reply so idk if you’re still figuring things out, but if tarot/runes are still evading you, you can always ask for dreams, signs, or portents. Deities are usually pretty chill about proving themselves and offering clarification.

I don't know where it came from, but several years ago this idea popped into my head unbidden, and for some reason it tickles me. I don't know if it's funny, but I like it and I made it into a zine, I hope you enjoy it.

It lays out really nicely as 3-up spreads on A4 paper, so you can print, staple and fold it, then cut it into 3 zines. It made it really easy to print up 20 of them to trade at this art social thing I went to
