#not tagging as fr/stmaster because i don't want it to show up in the search

[loxxxlay]

uhhh lol, dubcon fr/stmaster/grandthorki is the ship i will die on, i’ve been waiting for it since 2012, and if u don’t like that, -shrug-

then perish...... lol jk

warning: incoming rant, scroll past if u sensitive and on mobile

seriously, I’m really tired of this attitude that, just because someone doesn’t like something (or just because they do like something at times), that all headcanons to the contrary are suddenly... invalid???

like u can have a divergent opinion about something while also not insulting or undermining the legitimacy of ppl who disagree with you? idk.... it’s a movie....

I HC loki as someone who will endure trauma as a means to an end, someone who is reckless with his own safety if the end game is worth it (or even not worth it at times). And sure he’s cunning and resourceful and smart, but he’s also wildly unstable emotionally. He doesn’t view himself as worthy of good things.

So while sure, he’s more than capable of self-preservation, he also has to think he deserves self-preservation in order to, you know, actually self-preserve. And often, I don’t think he does? Because it’s Just Trauma. it’s Just His Body. it’s Just Pain. it’s Just His Life.

And I’m not pulling this out of my ass!!!! Loki’s continuous traumatic experiences, his emotional instability, and his lack of self-preservation can* be supported throughout the text, guys. For example:

obvious trauma shit that must have happened with Thanos

letting go of Gungnir in the first place

getting himself captured by the Avengers as a distraction for Hawkeye

saving Jane from getting imploded by creepy Dark Elf bomb by almost getting imploded instead (furthermore, did he know thor would save him? probably not... thats some fucked up shit)

letting himself be run through by Kursed in order to save Thor

other examples that I’m too lazy to think atm but might add later

and yessss letting Grandmaster dick him down for a later potential to overthrow

(*Note: I said it can be supported. Not that it is the only way of doin the reading)

So yeah, Loki has a habit of both experiencing trauma at the hands of powerful individuals and letting himself fall into dangerous situations as a means to an end. (Is the Grandmaster a powerful individual? Yes. And Thor’s captivity proves it, too.)

The only thing new about the dubcon Fr/stmaster ship is that the trauma took a considerably sexual turn - that doesn’t make it Not-Trauma. And even the fact that it’s sexual doesn’t come out of left field... Loki molds himself to the situation he’s in, and the Grandmaster is clearly only interested in a Select Number of Things (i.e. sex, gladiator pits, and ppl who can provide resources for the previous two.) Maybe Loki could have done the latter of the three, but again - he has continuously shown that he doesn’t go out of his way to self-preserve. This  doesn’t break any pattern, according to how I've headcanoned the text.

In short, you don’t have to like dubcon Fr/stmaster, you can headcanon that Loki would never allow himself to be abused like this and still be valid, but don’t be acting like I’ve pulled shit out of my ass to make it happen because that’s Bullshit tbh. :)

P.S. you can reblog if you want, but I’m not debating with anyone because this was just for venting purposes on the fake privacy of my own blog :P (and if ur needlessly rude, I will block you lol.)
