"It's Crossbones, And His Crew's Armed With Some Real High-tech Stuff."

A closer look at Loki's character bio from the back of the Tales of Asgard graphic novel I went over in my last post, super zoomed in to make the text easier to read. Some very interesting stuff in here! I love seeing comic writer's different takes on him, he's changed so much since this came out. Not sure when this bio was written, but it's based off his comic appearances in the early to late 60s.

I very much prefer anti hero Loki, but I can't deny how cool villain Loki can be 😭💚 I wish he used his magic more in the MCU.

(Also, his legal status saying "often in exile" is hilarious to me LMAO)

Touch starved god learns emotions, immediately forgets how to hold still

Loki is SO tactile. He starts off performing, still the sharp, composed version of himself he thinks he has to be. the controlled gestures, the careful posture, the way he only moves when he needs to, like he’s conserving himself. like he doesn’t believe he’s allowed to be anything more.

as the series goes on he becomes looser, more expressive. Touching his chest, reaching out, grasping.

Like he’s becoming real, tangible, soft.

Loki moves like someone who wasnt allowed to take up space for so long and then suddenly, he has to. initially his hands are calculated, with deliberate little flicks.

But as he unravels as he becomes, his hands follow. His expressions soften, his face stops being a mask and starts being his. he gestures more, presses his hands to his chest when he talks, reaches out when he’s feeling something too much. like every emotion is too big to keep inside. like he’s overflowing.

Loki moves like someone who spent centuries as a shadow and is only now realizing he has a body. he gestures like he’s afraid he’ll disappear if he stops. like he’s trying to prove to himself that he’s here, that he’s real.

he presses a hand to his chest when he talks, like he’s grounding himself. like he’s checking. am i still here? is this still me? he grips his own arms, his own wrists, like he has to hold himself in. like he might spill out otherwise.

his body used to be a tool: graceful, deceptive, a weapon. but now? now it’s his. awkward, shaky, hesitant. he fidgets. he trembles. he holds onto himself because he doesn’t know who else will. (cough mobius cough)

Although Loki costumes are incredibly magnificent, I insist! … That use to go to Jotunheim in “Thor” is my favorite! … I love as seen in that suit.

You're god is suffering!

...No like please I am suffering someone else queue strategist with me I beg 🤣

Anyways- I like the frost giant skin a normal amount thehe

You know, I always see people write Pepper as the calm one between her a Tony in fics—which is true to some extent—but I feel like people forget that Pepper gets just as neurotic as Tony in response to stressful situations, just shows it differently

IM2 Tony is dying. What does he do? goes and ditches work to drive a race car and gets attacked. Pepper in response? Unintelligible but understandable screaming at him.

And she’s so real for that

This is my discomfort character I want to see them in unimaginable pain

Jotun Loki based on previous sketches

Iron Man #5
