#but it's just frustrating to have to constantly get the point accross

[pallas-cat]

i hate being the least financially secure out of all my friends oh my god

[prpledusk]

My tablet is dead so Im gonna write some headcannons about Luxu.

Luxu wasnt was born completly alone, picked up by MoM as a baby that was abandoned and left to die off in dark forest somewhere. MoM knew exactly who he was and how to use him immediatly.

What MoM did to Luxu and ultimatly to the other foretellers was Grooming. Clear, blatant, cultish Grooming. From infancy to now MoM would teach Luxu the ins and outs of well, everything. Darkness, light, grass, sky, sea, everything. And as Luxu grew and grew MoM also saw Isolation as a way to prepare Luxu for what was to come. Completly isolating him from the others and keeping Luxu cooped up in the clock tower...dispite all this Luxu did have *something* of a relationship to the foretellers.

For Ira, Invi, Aced, and Gula Luxu was the baby of the family, the youngest foreteller and the quiet sibling who was always hiding behind MoM seemingly because he was shy. But to Luxu, they all where a fascination and a scource of frustration. He would never activly speak to them on purpose because of MoMs orders but he would often watch them from a distance, often wondering whT things would have been like where he allowed to physically be with them. Hug them, hold their hands, spar with them...

Then theres Ava. Luxu deeply hates Ava. She was as young as he was when she joined and Luxu ended up projecting alot of his own frustrations onto her, knowing that like him, her role was to preserve the Keyblade wielders and take them to a new age without unions ans competition...their own lil piece of heaven, where she's allowed to have all the friends and connections she wants. And like a greedy fox she wants to hoard everyones love, sacrifice herself for the surviving weilders sake, causing them more pain in the end. To Luxu, Ava is selfish, greedy, and is willing to do anything for the sake of the master, just like him. And he hates her very existance for that.

Luxus gone through hundreds of semblances over the years, at one point, he even had a few relationships. He played the pawn, the poet, the king and the beggar, he's been a father, a mother, an uncle, and a great great grandfather a hundred times over. But all of that just means he's suffered loss, over and over and over again. He's faught lived and died for hundreds of lifetimes all for the Masters Mission.

Luxu doesnt view himself as a person. He's a tool born for The Masters use, and every loss he experiences only hammers this belief further and further into his heart untill all thats left of his heart station is a cracked image showing the Master towering over Luxu, thatd been completely corrupted and rusted over in darkness. He means nothing, he is nothing, all he makes and spawns into the world are seconeds in a vast eternity of an unfeeling cosmos. He is the Masters, and no one elses.

Ghost braig territory:

Luxu and Braig are in the same boat. Both are chained to Xigbar and both have their heartstations right accross from eachother with Xigs station right in the middle. Both are being contained in Xigbar, him being an empty puppet makes him perfect as a vessal but Luxu and Braig can influence him in small ways. Braig doesnt like doing it, it feels just wrong and any attempts to fully take over Xigs body end with him being shoved inside Xigbar and his heart station getting cracked from the pressure, while Luxu can fully puppeteer Xig and even force him to break his own bones if it means getting a job done.

Luxu has trust issues. Its obvious that Luxu isnt really one to trust others, especially not Braig any members of the organization, because of this, he often has Xigbar remain aloof and secretive with others, even to those who can be deemed "close" to the sharp shooter, not too dissimilar to the Masters own Isolation of him.

Luxu doesnt like a n y o n e. Nope, not one person, Xemnas "stay away from Xigbar you beefy creep" Xaldin? "If he looks at you one more time we're blinding him and taking his teeth." Literally anyone who so much as looks in his direction? "Your all going to die in agony and I'll be right here watching with popcorn." The guys full on not okay with anyone looking at Xigbar in anyway that isnt professional, so you can imagine how he feels about Demyx...

He's a sadistic lil fucker too. The years of loss and isolation more or less turned him into a monster with zero empathy for those around him. His teasing and bullying of Braig being a clear show of this.

Luxu hates Sora. Sora is selfish, he's selfish and is constantly on about how devoted he is to the light, and how his friends are his power. He hates looking at him and seeing all that hope and womder in his eyes, and how bright his smile is, he hates how friendly he is to everyone and how even people who hurt Sora in the past get free passes just because sora 'decided' to forgive. He hates how bright he is. He hates him...

Luxu is Jelous of Sora.

Luxu was Jelous of Ava.

He hates the nickname Braig gave him, "baby goat"

He hates that Xigbar is willing to do everything for him even if it might hurt him.

He hates that no matter how cruel he is to braig braig never fights back or tries to devour Luxu's heart.

Braig and Xigbar dream of Luxu's memories and can see the eons that Luxu whent through and both are aware of MoM

Luxu wants to dissapear.

Luxu hates MoM

Luxu wishes he had friends.

Luxu hates to be alone.

Luxu is touch starved and craves attention and affection but wont get it because he's constantly pushing others away.

Luxu is complicated.

Is this love, part two

Xavier Plympton x serial killer! Reader

Summary: Reader is in inner turmoil once again and it starts to put a strain of her and Xavier’s relationship.

Words: 3.7K+

A/N: it feels so good to be uploading again 😭 sorry this took me so long to write! This starts out really dark, gets fluffy in the middle and angst in the end.

Warnings: Basically the same as the first chapter. Descriptions of violence and wanting to murder, but the murder isn’t actually described. Light touching but it’s definetly not smut by any means 😳

Previous Chapter

The past couple of days had simultaneously been the worst and the best week of your life. Admittedly the memories of it were particularly foggy due to how much weed you and Xavier smoked but some scenes seemed to linger in the back of your mind.

Most of the memories you still had were of you and Xavier being cramped close together in the Vanta-C, basically repeating the night of which you two had first met. The sweet parts consisted of you two sharing kisses, cuddling and being attached to the hip - but it got to a point quickly where you needed to take a break.

You felt entirely guilty for doing so and it wasn’t because you nessacarily wanted too but it had gotten to the point where it was what you needed to do.

Just because you were now head over heels in love didn’t mean the urge to kill went away; if anything it grew stronger.

Well, the urge to kill Xavier anyway completly diminished. The way you had become utterly infatuated with him made it impossible to think about killing Xavier; in fact, even you couldn’t even really picture doing it anymore without almost bringing yourself to tears.

However, whenever you weren’t high as a kite and you could actually think coherent thoughts - all that remained was dark urges and impulses. The urge to kill hadn’t left you, it was completely foolish to think that it would have just because you fell in love for the first time.

Coming to terms with that you would never be normal was starting to destroy you. You knew that Xavier’s perception of you was far from reality, to him you were this sweet, loving, innocent girl who needed protecting when really.. it was the opposite. You were the monster. You really were the wolf in sheep’s clothing, you were the one who made men bleed out slowly and relished in their pain and suffering.. and up until you met Xavier you weren’t ashamed of that part of you. However, now it was suddenly your dirty secret and it made you incredibly uncomfterable.

You wanted nothing more to just be another typical woman, worrying about what man they would be sleeping with next instead of worrying who your next victim would be. You wanted nothing more than your future to be spent with Xavier in bliss; being a housewife, having a couple children in the suburbs was something you craved for yourself so fucking badly you could almost taste it. But instead, you just tasted the metallic sweet taste of blood from biting your tongue so fucking hard.

You would try your damn hardest to have that future if that’s what made Xavier happy. Fuck, you would do anything for him.. execpt stop killing of course. You wanted to stop, you really did but you couldn’t. You were already pushing your limits when you met Xavier, and now you were over the fucking edge.

It had been about a week since you met Xavier, and you managed to go this far without killing anyone but today was the breaking point, you were planning to keep brushing it off but Xavier was starting to notice. It was nearly like a damn addict having withdrawals, you were visibly tense - your jaw was constantly clenched and the rest of your body was in a constant state of being rigid. Irritability was another frequent symptom you felt, you started to snap at Xavier for things that didn’t even fucking make sense.

You knew you were running out of time before you would snap and accidently hurt Xavier once even smoking weed didn’t work to distract you from how badly you wanted to fucking kill.

So here you were; you and Xavier were always together, you basically lived with him now so you managed to make up a bullshit excuse to get away. About how one of your friends was really sad and needed you tonight - and of course he bought it.

You parked the Vanta C a couple blocks away; your game plan was different this time. You weren’t planning on taking your next victim ‘home’ to try and seduce them, you just needed a fast fix.

You already decided the death of whomever happened to cross paths with you would be a quick one, painful sure, but relatively fast nonetheless. It would happen here - in the dark alleyway of which you currently stood in. You didn’t have any plans of what to do with the body afterwards; which was unlike you but at this point you could barely think coherent enough thoughts to even focus enough on the task that you had your mind set on doing.

You stopped thinking entirely when you saw a shadowed figure turn the corner and enter the alleyway. No thoughts entered your mind as you could only act on what you felt and truly craved to do.

~

Only a hour had passed; it was passed midnight but also not quite yet in the early hours of morning. The sky was still painted a dark black, with the stars and the moon being your light source as you made your way back to your boyfriends van.

Taking a life definetly relieved some tension from you, but you felt fucking awful. It wasn’t that you felt bad for killing someone, you felt awful for lying to Xavier and using his fucking car for your dirty work.

You felt depressed; and for some reason this made you careless.

You had enough sense to bring your knife back with you atleast. You drove back quickly to Xavier’s apartment, hoping to just slip back into bed beside him without him questioning why you were back so quickly.

You really should’ve taken your time but for some reason; you just wanted tonight’s events to be over and done with. It wasn’t anything for you to be proud of anymore; it was now something you were starting to hate about yourself.

As you stepped out of the van and went to up to Xavier’s apartment; you couldn’t help but think how there was no denying how Xavier was starting to change you. How did it even make sense that a boy you just met a week ago was starting to make you feel love? It wasn’t only that but it nearly made you sick how in love you were with Xavier already - it was almost as if he had you under a spell. He made you want to be better, to become a version of yourself you weren’t even sure exsisted - a version that wasn’t a killer.

You entered the apartment as slowly as you possibly could - shutting the door achingly slow - praying he was still asleep. You tiptoed across the apartment as you dropped your keys also painfully slowly onto the counter before you started to walk toward the bedroom door.

You noted how the light looked to be off inside of his bedroom, thank god. You opened the door and you got ready for bed as humanely quiet as possible.

You slipped into the bed, Xavier was already on one side - as if he was anticipating your return and he left room for you. You couldn’t help but smile at the thoughtfulness of the gesture as you pulled the partially warm covers over your body, and sank into the mattress.

You turned over to go to sleep and as you shut your eyes - you were so close to being able to achieve your goal of not waking up Xavier - until you felt it. A warm hand ran lovingly accross your back, letting you know that Xavier was very much awake. You bit your tongue and couldn’t help but clench your eyes shut with frustration briefly.

“(y/n)”? Xavier spoke.

His voice was low and gravely, and as you rolled over to face him you noticed how his eyes barely even appeared to be open - his once baby blue eyes appeared black; colorless because of how dark the room was.

You couldn’t help but smirk as Xavier sleepily outstretched his arms to bring you in closer - and you happily did so. You shimmied yourself just enough so that Xavier could wrap a arm around you, and even entangled your legs together. You heard him kick the blanket off since it seemed to be getting in his way of getting closer to you - which made you giggle. He put his head on top of yours, his chin resting on top of your head.

You closed your eyes; fully in bliss and drinking him in. His scent, his warmth, everything about him. You were at such peace to the point where you almost forgot of today’s events until your heard the soft rumble of Xavier’s voice once again.

He took his head off of yours and scooted back just a bit - just enough so that your foreheads were almost touching.

“Where were you”? You heard him ask.

You swallowed before answering, your voice wavering as you spoke.

“At my friends house, like I told you. Remember”? Your words came out as a whisper but you spoke fast and quick. You know it seemed too well rehearsed, and Xavier wasn’t going to buy it. You were only gone a hour anyway and you told him you wouldn’t be back until tommorow.

Just through the darkness you could see the corners of his mouth upturn, he was starting to smile.

“You don’t smell like you were at your friends house”. Xavier said with a laugh and you brushed it off with a giggle but when in reality; your blood ran cold.

It was no wonder that you didn’t smell fantastic; After all you did change into pajamas but into the appropriate bottoms - you took your bra off and figured that you could still wear the shirt you were wearing ealier to bed.. apparently that was a big fucking mistake. Also the fact that your hair wasn’t exactly at its prime peak of being clean - it contained sweat from ealier and, probably even droplets of blood honestly.

“What is that supposed to mean”? You retorted playfully. Your noses about a mere inch apart.

“It means that you smell like you’ve been rolling around in the dirt outside”. Xavier mumbled and quickly pecked you on the lips.

You tried to keep kissing him - dumbly assuming that his intentions were to make out with you but you were left feeling dumbfounded and unsatisfied as you felt him quickly pull away. Xavier’s voice, soft and gravely quietly spoke - his lips were barely apart from yours; as if he was trying to tease and taunt you from how close he remained.

“Go shower and when you come back.. Maybe I’ll have a surprise waiting for you”. Xavier quickly kissed you one last time before he scooted farther way, untangling his legs from yours before he rolled onto his back. You huffed in protest as you sat up in the bed.

“Shower? Xavier it’s fucking midnight”! You retorted, a quick glance at the red beside clock Xavier kept confirmed your suspicions of how late it was.

“You better hurry then babe. Don’t keep me waiting”. Xavier taunted as you let out another exasperated noise.

You slowly and painfully peeled yourself off of the bed as you dragged yourself over to the bathroom; ready to take a world record breaking fast shower.

~

You contemplated if it was really necessary to put clothes on at all after your shower. You knew Xavier wouldn’t mind if you came out of the bathroom stark naked but for the sole reason of not wanting to feel too exposed, you settled on some nice lingerie.

Putting on lingerie this late at night definetly felt odd but you tried to shake the feeling off as you stepped out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.

It took you a minuete for your eyes to adjust to the darkness - your sure you looked stupid as you stood there squinting - but you soon came to realize that he had fucking fell asleep. You would be lying if you said you weren’t dissapointed or upset, but you figured he was just tired. There was no reason for Xavier to be acting distant, right?

Slipping into more comfortable pajamas, you slid into bed once again next to Xavier and drifted off quickly into sleep.

~

The first thing you noticed when you woke up besides how good it felt to finally not be so tense; was that the bed was empty. And cold. You tried to search out Xavier’s body but you couldn’t find it, and with a defeated huff you sat up.

It was easy to tell where Xavier went. The bedroom door was left slightly ajar and you could see a dim light coming from it, most likely from the living room. You couldn’t hear exact words but you could hear a low rumbling sound as if someone was talking - he was watching tv.

To confirm your suspicions you got up stood in the doorway, opening the doorway just enough to poke your head out and yell at the bastard to come back to bed.

He sat on the small couch that was placed in front of the TV. You contemplated calling out his name to make your prescence known but something made you wait, and your glad you did.

Xavier was watching the news, some early morning talk show. They were currently discussing breaking news and a mass warning; telling people to keep their doors locked and be on the lookout for suspicious activity due to a murder that had occurred last night.

You felt a shiver run through your body, the case on the television was starting to sound way too familiar to you. You walked back into the living room slowly, not wanting to startle Xavier.

You went to go sit in his lap, he greeted you with a lazy “Hey babe”, and kissed you on the side of your mouth before giving the screen his undivided attention, and to be fair; you choose to do the same.

Sure enough; the woman on the screen seemed to describe the murder you committed last night perfectly. Almost too perfectly, and the fact that Xavier was attentively listening to this was starting to make you feel gross, and paranoid. Even though the killer still remained anonymous you felt as if someone was reading your diary out loud like they were seeing a private part of your life that no one else was supposed to have access to but yourself. You felt exposed, and you fucking hated it.

You had to distract Xavier, that was clear so you did it the easiest way you know how. You turned your head and stared at him for a second, admiring his beauty before you gently placed a hand on his soft cheek - turning it gently so that he was actually staring at you. He looked surprised, his eyebrows slightly knitted together but he didn’t dare say anything.

You leaned in swiftly, catching his lips with yours as you started to melt into the kiss and into him. You shifted your legs so that you straddle him, and you left his hands softly go to your back. You felt his hands gradually go lower, and lower until you felt the slight coolness of his hands on your skin as he slipped his hands your shirt.

You knew the windows were open and that everyone could probably see how cozy you and Xavier were getting but you figured that this was currently the least of your worries since that the damn reporter had spilled all your secrets. None of the bodies from your previous murders had been found, this was the first time you were getting press coverage and you were livid. You needed something to take your frustration out on, and you needed it now. The killer was still anonymous; it wasn’t like you were getting credit for it - and that’s what pissed you off more than anything.

You stopped kissing Xavier for a split second, just enough to grab the tv remote that was by Xavier’s thigh to turn the damn tv off. You turned back to him and watched how Xavier first looked completely pissed but then he smirked. You brought yourself in close to him once more and you felt his hands immeaditly slide under your shirt again, his hands this time on your side near your hips instead of your back. You felt his hands travel south but as you two kissed you but Xavier’s lip playfully before you felt him draw away from you. The making out and the light touching seemed to be working as a perfect distraction, like how you thought it would until.. it didn’t. He was the first to pull away. You felt hurt and confused at first while you waited for him to say something.

“I’m not stupid”. Xavier stated, acting as if he was too nervous to meet your eyes - and when he did all you saw was uncertainty, nervousness and a bit of fear which made your stomach churn. You quickly realized where this conversation was going so you awkwardly pulled your shirt down and pulled yourself off of his lap, opting to sit next to him instead.

“Xavier, I never said you were. Where is this coming from”? You asked.

“(Y/n), I need you to tell me the truth. Where were you last night”? Xavier asked, his cercealan blue eyes seemed to shimmer as you quickly realized he had tears in his eyes.

Your breath hitched in your throat but you knew you absolutely could not tell the truth; no matter how much you truly wanted too. You had to play it cool.

“Xavier i swear to god I was at my friends house. Please believe me-“

“Then tell me why you happen to go missing at the exact time that man was murdered last night”?!

Xavier said, his voice rough and rugged with anger. His facial expressions and his voice were telltale signs of how mad he was, his eyes wide and his eyebrows slightly furrowed down.

“I know that wasn’t a coincidence. And I’m not going to pretend like I didn’t see that red stain on your shirt last night”. Xavier finished.

You took a quick breath and replied so quickly that you didn’t really have time to think about what you were saying.

“Do you even know what your accusing me of, Xavier? Did you really think I’m a fucking killer, do you know how absurd that is”? You said, your voice high pitched as you continued to try and persuade Xavier with your well written lie.

Tears stung your eyes, and you figured there was no use in holding them in. You couldn’t lose Xavier, you just couldn’t. He had to believe your lie, there was no other way. You sniffled as Xavier chose to stay quiet you decided to throw him more evidence for your ‘non killer I’m innocent’ claims.

“The red stain on my shirt was spaghetti sauce, me and my friend got high last night and we decided to make spaghetti last minuete. I didn’t tell you cause I knew it would sound fucking crazy... And I smelt so awful because we had to go find somewhere outside to go smoke”. You said.

You tried to meet Xavier’s eyes but he continued to stare at the ground. He slowly looked up at you, a tear or two running down from his eye to the bottom of his jawline. You wanted nothing more than to wipe it off, to tell him that everything would be okay but you couldn’t. You were too much at a risk already of losing him to take the chance of setting him off on top of it. Xavier kept staring at you, not daring to say a word. You slowly spoke up,

“Xavier..” you felt brave so you leaned forward slightly; waiting for him to make any sudden movements to get up or turn away from you but he didn’t. You kept going until you were close enough to choose to touch him if you wanted, and you couldn’t help but notice how tears continued to gently fall down his cheeks.

You brought your hand up slowly; again waiting for him to flinch but he let you gently brush his tears away. You felt his hand grab yours and made you cup his cheek; and that’s when he fully broke down - the tears that were once lightly falling were now cascading, and his breathing became labored from how instensly he was crying and you couldn’t help but wrap both of your arms around him and just hold him.

You blinked back the tears, knowing it was more important to comfort Xavier than to show him you were hurting as well. You gently stroked his back as you felt your shoulder grow wet with his tears. It was hard at first to even hear his voice through all the sobbing but you made out a few words.

“(Y/n), I’m so sorry”. You could feel the sobs continue to wreck through his body as you basically held him, and you felt horrible. Suddenly you felt Xavier separate a bit from you, enough to look at you in the eyes. You were still embraced, but now holding each other’s arms a bit more loosely.

“Xav, it’s okay-“

“No it’s not. I’m sorry I didn’t trust you, but we can make it through this. Me and a couple of friends are going to camp redwood for the summer, to get away from this crazy killer but babe? Come with me please”? Xavier asked you.

The sadness and misery you had felt a mere seconds ago but it seemed to immeaditly dissipate. You didn’t have to contemplate or think about it at all; the words flew out of your mouth.

“Yes, Xavier! I’d love too”! You said with a wide grin.

You wrapped your hands around his shoulders and engulfed him in a deep hug. You didn’t even consider how odd it must’ve looked to him how fast your mood changed. You were just truly greatful that you weren’t losing Xavier.

You still seemed to have him pinned under your claws.. and it wasn’t like you wouldn’t be able to find any victims at camp redwood, there would be plentiful. It would be as easy as finding fish in water. The difficult part? Keeping your dirty secret hidden from the one you loved most.

I know I’m about to open a can of worms here, but... Can someone explain to me how the mind of a Loki-hater works? I just don’t understand? I mean, if someone just doesn’t like him or doesn’t care... fine, whatever, we all find different characters appealing. But what I don’t understand is the people who genuinely call him “a priviledged white murderboy” or compare him to characters like Kylo Ren (who is a priviledged white murderboy, just to be clear on that).

How can someone watch Thor 1, The Avengers, and Thor TDW and somehow come to the conclusion that Loki is a priviledged, sheltered, rich kid who never had problems and kills people for the lulz. HOW? Did they watch the movies with both eyes and ears closed? Did they only watch The Avengers and skip through half of Thor 1? Is it the misogyny (most of Loki’s fans are women so obviously they must only like him for his looks, “dumb fangirls” etc.)? Seriously, how do you watch these movies and miss out on:

- Odin being a dictator and colonizer who kidnapped Loki from his home country as a baby, changed his appearance with a spell to make him “pass” as Asgardian, stripped him of his birth culture and even raised him to consider his birth country evil

- Loki being neglected and not taken seriously his whole life, having his “feminine” interests mocked in Asgard’s partiachic society, constantly being made fun of by Thor’s friends, his own brother - who he adores more than anything - putting him down all the time, his father never acknowleding him

- Loki (who never wanted the throne in the first place) having to suddenly run a kingdom when his brother gets himself banished and his father falls into the Odinsleep, having to suddenly manage a war he didn’t start, dealing with Thor’s friends commiting treason, dealing with the revelation of his heritage and the feeling that he has to prove himself to Odin now. (Okay, to be fair, I think Frigga handing him control and telling him to make his father proud was a deleted scene, so the actual movie might make it look like he took the throne and planned all of this, but he didn’t. Think about it for one second: There’s no way he could have predicted the Odinsleep or Thor’s banishment. He looks shocked when both happen.)

- Loki trying to destroy his birth realm in a desperate attempt to prove that he’s “not like them”, Loki being so desperate that he commits suicide when Odin doesn’t approve.

- No one in Asgard (except for Frigga) mourning Loki at all. Loki asking Thor “Did you mourn?” in The Avengers, because he knows they didn’t and he’s right.

- Loki being tortured by Thanos and forced to attack New York. How is that something people miss? Did everyone take their bathroom break during that scene where The Other threatens Loki? Did they conveniently ignore the after-credits scene?

- Odin telling Loki “Your birthright was to die” and acting like Loki should be grateful Odin didn’t murder him as a baby. Just in case you forgot: This was their first interaction after Loki’s suicide attempt. Odin found out his son - whom he drove to try and commit suicide - was alive, and the first thing Odin did was telling him he should have died and that he would have executed him for his crimes if it wasn’t for Frigga.

- Just to put this into perspective: When Thor started a war and killed hundreds of Frost Giants, Odin banished him to Earth without his powers for three days. When Loki tried to commit suicide, got tortured and attacked Earth and killed people because Thanos forced him to, Odin wanted to execute him, only agreed not to because of Frigga, then locked Loki up in solitary confinement for the rest of his life and didn’t allow Frigga to see him.

- Loki wasn’t even allowed to go to his mother’s funeral. Thor never even asks him why he attacked Earth, only visits Loki when he needs his help, refuses to comfort him about Frigga’s death and promises to lock Loki up again if he does help him. And people are blaming Loki for not telling Thor he was alive? Would you have told the man who promised to lock you up for the rest of eternity that you’re alive? I kinda doubt it.

- And even after all of that, Loki was merciful enough to only banish Odin to a care-home on Earth instead of killing him. (Friendly reminder that Kylo Ren murdered his father while his father was offering him a second chance. Odin never offered Loki any chances, straight-up wanted to kill him, and Loki still showed mercy. But sure, tell me more about how your comparison is totally appropriate.)

How do people watch ALL OF THAT, and somehow not end up at least admitting that Loki was treated unfairly? How do people watch these movies and say that he’s selfish when all he’s ever been doing is sacrificing himself for his family over and over again and getting nothing in return? HOW??? Someone explain this to me, because it blows my mind.

And sidenote - the whole “straight white murderboy” thing is such complete BS it makes me want to slam my head against my desk. 1) Loki’s not straight. He’s canonically bi/pan in the comics and queercoded in all of this movies. 2) Not even the “boy” part is true - Loki is genderfluid. 3) The “white” part is what really blows my mind when people use it as a reason to hate this character. Because first of all Loki’s entire story is about being a different race than the rest of his family and being treated like shit because of it. (Yes, I realize it’s “fantasy blue people racism”, not real-world racism, but it’s still an aspect of the character that - in the fantasy context - makes him the opposite of priviledged.) And secondly... all of the Avengers in A1 are also white? 5/6 of them are straight white guys? So who are we supposed to root for, according to these Loki-haters? In Star Wars, there’s POC heroes who get ignored by the fandom and I understand the frustration of everyone loving the white villain instead - but in the first(!) Avengers everyone is white? So who does tumblr think is a more deserving fave here??? I just don’t understand this logic even in theory??

(Seriously, someone explain this to me? Is is because of the Hitler comparison in The Avengers? Because that honestly should be blamed on Joss Whedon being a shitty writer who can’t get a ‘character is evil’ message accross differently. Narratively, this comparison doesn’t fit at all. Or is it because people took the ‘Loki keeps betraying Thor’ line from Ragnarok and took it seriously instead of judging the movies by what actually happened? I tried to read posts where people explain why they hate Loki, and whenever they list all the “horrible things he’s done” half of them are things that never even happened? Like... “repeatedly betrayed his brother who trusts him” - NOT TRUE, “tried to commit genocide on earth” - NO HE DIDN’T??, “killed more people than anyone else” - FACTUALLY WRONG, “always fakes his death” - HE LITERALLY NEVER DID, “betrayed Asgard” - BITCH WHEN?, “only did one selfless thing in his life” - which one of them are you talking about, just wondering?, “freed Hela” - are we just making shit up at this point? he didn’t even know about Hela!, “caused Odin’s death” - why is anyone acting like that’s a bad thing and Odin didn’t deserve to die?, “facist dictator” - again: WHERE? Do any of you stupid Americans even know what facism is? Stop throwing around big words if you don’t know how to use them.)

Or is it just that people don’t actually know the movies, see a villain who has huge female fanbase and come to the “obvious” conclusion that it must be because those women are stupid and “like making excuses for bad boys”? Do people take Tom Hiddelston more seriously when he talks about Loki’s motivations and says he’s just misunderstood and not evil? Because this time it’s a man saying it?

The Internet is full of courses on how to succeed in affiliate marketing. The honest truth is that what is the best affiliate marketing training for one, may not be good for you, for several reasons.

In this blog post we’ll visit the top 3 factors to consider when jumping into your next affiliate marketing training. So that way you can make a more informed decision the next time you take a course on affiliate marketing.

Also be sure to take a look at the affiliate marketing training provided at this website here. I’m giving out 5 affiliate marketing training guides for free for those who sign up for, what I consider to be the best affiliate marketing training out there. Also don’t forget to leave a comment down below to ask me anything and let me know that you were here.

No Experience Or Previous Experience?

One of the things that you should consider is how experienced you are with affiliate marketing strategies before you invest in an affiliate marketing training. Are you brand new to affiliate marketing? If you are brand new, you could get easily overwhelmed with some of the more advanced techniques of building websites, search engine optimization, and sales copywriting. My advice is to just take things slow with a affiliate marketing training that has small baby steps that you can follow.

On the other hand, if you have a lot of prior experience and training already under your belt, it can be frustrating to invest your time in an affiliate marketing training that is so elementary that it offers nothing useful to take away.

A good example of this is when I invested in a blogging and SEO course that was created by a well known blogger in my niche. I dove into the course and realized that it was mostly tailored to people who have never even started a blog or website before. Unfortunately it wasn’t what I was looking for.

At this point in my career I will spend several hundred dolllars on a course, skim through the stuff I already have knowledge of, and look for just a few good takeaways. If I can just tweak my marketing strategy just a little but I can double my income in the next year.

So what is your experience level like in the affiliate marketing industry? This is something worth considering before you invest in an affiliate marketing training.

Money vs. Time: Which Do You Have More Of?

I’m sure most of the people wanting to get started with affiliate marketing have more time than money to invest. Which one you have more of should determine how you wish to approach learning about affiliate marketing techniques.

If you have little money and more time. it is better to focus on the slower methods of making money in affiliate marketing such as content marketing. such as creating blogs and videos. Blog posts and articles when covering topics that are being searched for are like planting seeds in a field. If you manage to plant enought content all over the internet, you will reach a point where you are earning passive income every month.

The disadvantage is that creating new content takes up a lot of time, but the return on your investment is very high if you can remain consistent and see it through.

On the other hand, if you don’t have a lot of time, but have some capital saved up to pursue your affiliate marketing venture, you might be better of learning Pay-Per-Click advertising instead of blogging. A reason why many people prefer blogging is that it can provide you with instant feedback, and sales almost instantly if the traffic is targeted enough to the offer you are sending it too.

The disadvantage is that you can end up spending a lot of money on a Pay Per Click advertising campaign, and if you don’t figure it out fast enough you can lose a lot of money doing it. Unlike the blogging you don’t get unlimited traffic for life, you simply pay for your traffic as it comes. You really want to make sure that your sales funnel is going to convert into sales very easily before you spend a lot of money on it.

Is The Training Up-to-date?

Another thing that needs to be considered is whether or not the affiliate marketing training is up to date. There could be a technology update that renders the training worthless that could happen 6 months after the course was released. In my opinion you want to make sure the training is either a brand new release or is constantly updated to ensure you are getting high quality and up to date education.

A good example of a product that couldn’t stay up to date is an SEO lead generation software I bought about a year ago. Google no longer supported the API that the software required to run on, so after just a few short months after the launch the software no longer worked, and was completely obsolete.

In the technology age, things are moving so quickly that it is difficult to keep up. If you invest your time and money in an affilaite marketing training keep an eye out for when it was last updated.

Final Thoughts About The Best Affiliate Marketing Training

I hope that this blog post has given you a mental framework for finding the best affiliate marketing training. I have a couple resources that I have found to be very high quality. The best affiliate marketing training I’ve come accross is from Wealthy Affiliate. It is very thorought, and they walk you through the affiliate marketing bootcamp with easy to follow steps. And if there is anything you get hung up on they have a community that answers your questions and a support that answers back (usually in less than 15 minutes).

There is another affiliate marketing training that I really like called My Unfair Advantage. They are also into affiliate marketing. but they primarily focus on paid advertising methods to get sales. I’m a member in Wealthy Affiliate and MUA and I highly recommend both.
