I accidentally messed a lil too much with AI and tried to generate some fanart inspired by my own fanfic WOOHOOO.

Ever since I discovered Alma-Tadema's work I was fascinated with the attention to detail and the treatment he gave to textures and lighting.

As an art history and classic studies nerd, I cannot help but dream about living in one of his paintings, where time seems to not exist and the characters are still in a photogenic scene that almost looks as if it's taken out of a film.

If I could chose anyone to illustrate DIMAS, that would be Alma Tadema.

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOVE I HAVE FOR FANFICTION WRITERS *eternally grateful for them sharing their amazing writing skills*

[dressedinmoonandsilver]

WOW Thank you so much for such a detailed answer!! I've been sitting on the Jotunn idea as one of the side dishes for my main fic and I'll probably give it a try and add it to the story in the upcoming chaperts ❤️‍🩹

And thakyou so much for such an interesting insight!! we all have different ways of building characters and I also agree that working with what's already there is the most helpful thing. I try to stay as authentic as possible too (there are times where you need to cut some slack in order to let the romance happen ofc)

Ps. Here's a fellow sylki denier 🙌🏻 you're welcome to vent abt it anytime you need it. Can't wait for what they have in store for us in season 2, istg Tom and Owen's performarce is the only thing saving the plot from being an absolute trainwreck I'm afraid...

Once again, thankyou so much for answering!! 💚💚💚

Hello Bird! I've been following your content pretty much since I entered the Loki/Marvel fandom like 2 years ago. (you're literally the only author I trust when it comes to regular Loki content, I'm forever thankful for what you do).

I'm in the process of publishing a few things myself and I was wondering if you could give baby ao3 authors like me a tip or two on how to keep consistency when arranging a plot for a story.

I love your style and how you manage to lay out scenarios so perfectly with just a few key details about each character, I can literally picture things in my head like they're coming out of a movie. It's everything I've imagined and more istg

On another note, I have a prompt/suggestion you might like, tell me what you think:

Heatwave vs. Jotunn genetics

In line with works like Another Girl Another Planet or Scratch My Back, Jotunn Loki makes a comeback with a tinge of enemies to lovers. However in this case, Jotunn genetics force Loki's body to switch into his Jotunn form sporadically and without warning whenever he's feeling extra hot 👀. Mood swings, Heat irritability, and a lot of bickering (We're about to hit heatwave season here in Spain and it's a most fitting scenario for these upcoming months hehe)

I love your work and I'm so grateful to be a part of your community of avid readers!! 💚💚💚

First of all, thank you so much for reading my work. I'm very glad you've enjoyed it.

Wow, that is a neat idea! I don't think I've seen that particular take on Jotunn biology. I think you should definitely run with it and see where it goes. I'd be curious to read it when it's done.

As far as advice goes, mostly what I'm doing when I write fics is trying to align myself as close to "sounding" like the person I'm writing as possible. That comes from having watched Loki in the films and my short stint with his show and trying to emulate his beliefs, mannerisms, and speech patterns. It takes time and practice, but that's really how I do it. If I am struggling to get him to sound right, I take a break and bring up a clip where he's talking and then it usually gets me back on track. I do that with Bucky too.

During the story itself, I take it scene by scene and think "okay, here's a scenario, now how would he react to it?" and then I go from there. Naturally, it's fanfiction and so I can play around with what he'd do since we don't really have a full understanding of how he reacts to his romantic companions (I do not accept Sylki at all and I think it was written horribly, so I don't use it as an example) and we as readers are able to suspend our disbelief enough to enjoy some romance and smut. If you feel him doing something inauthentic, it just means that you're trying too hard to move the scenario or the plot forward, and that's fine. You just recalibrate and figure out which part of what you're writing might be slightly off and then adjust.

My inbox and chat are open, so don't hesitate to reach out whenever you like. We can spitball ideas or just chit-chat, and that is an open invitation to anyone.

Birdie loves you!

Happy Star Wars Day!!! 💚💚💚

We should never have let him go. There was no stopping him. Well, at least he’s only banished, not dead. Which is what we’d all be if that guard hadn’t told Odin where we’d gone. How did the guard even know? I told him. What? I told him to go to Odin after we’d left. He should be flogged for taking so long. We should never have reached Jotunheim. You told the guard?
