#thor love and thunder critical

[champmorado]

oh my fucking god i HATE thor: love and thunder because there are little tiny crumbs of good writing and extremely intriguing concepts but noooo its surrounded by complete utter dog shit and character assassinations

[agentoffangirling]

Before I say anything, I would like to preface this by saying that I liked Thor: Ragnarok

Thor: Love and Thunder would not be able to batter down what remained of Thor's character if it not were for Ragnarok setting the seeds for it

Why is it a cosmic problem that the Asgardian bloodline will end with Thor? Asgard is no more - what we have is a nonmagical place on Earth where Asgardians live. When Asgard doesn't exist, who cares that there will be no heirs. The current ruler is someone to whom King Thor just gave the rulership. That's how every ruler will be made now - anyone the current ruler gives it to. Or maybe they start holding elections. Make it democratic.

They don't need heirs now. And Thor will die alone in a ditch. It doesn't matter anymore. Taika has made it so that everything in Thor's world is insignificant now. But this is a happy ending.

I... genuinely can't entirely tell if you're being sarcastic, nonny, or if this is a genuine question that perhaps I may be misreading... (and if I have, do feel free to send a follow up and correct me)

but there's quite a many problem with the royal bloodline ending with Thor from an in-universe standpoint, just as well as the trajectory of Asgard's fate from Ragnarok and Endgame onward is an insult to the worldbuilding of Earth-199999's Asgard and the Nine Realms.

There's a couple of different ways you could slice my statement and I would still argue that what I've said can be seen as true. But I'll go through the wide range of elements in your ask to best illustrate the broader strokes of my point.

but TL;DR:

Ultimately you answered your own question, and that's the best way to boil down the travesty of it all:

Q: Why is it a cosmic problem that the Asgardian bloodline will end with Thor? A: Taika has made it so that everything in Thor's world is insignificant now.

Not only this, but Thor is the lastoline of the royal family. Before which, there only existed himself, and his father, Odin. He is the last of a subspecies of alien on par with other massively powerful aliens like Titans and I would wager, potentially even more mortal Celestials like Ego. He's a being who can generate storms just because he's miffed. Once Thor is dead and gone, there will NEVER be an Asgardian who is more than just your usual 'super-strength, super-speed, super-endurance' humanoid looking alien. There will NEVER be an Asgardian with the ability to summons storms and have lightning flow through his veins.

Hela had dominion over life and death, Thor is effectively a living, breathing, walking, talking tempest, Odin can be inferred to have some kind of 'order' seeking affinity. Who knows about MCU Bor and Buri. They are INCREDIBLY ancient, and powerful beings. If MCU Asgardians are to MCU humans what D&D elves are to D&D humans, then Thor is to Asgardians what an eladrin elf is to normal elves.

And we are watching – have already watched, even, — that incredibly powerful, incredible RARE sub-species of asgardian effectively be driven to extinction.

Just think about that for a second.

(the rest has been put under a cut because this answer got long, and for that I apologize ... mostly.)

Asgard is no more - what we have is a nonmagical place on Earth where Asgardians live.

Yes. This. This is quite actually the crux of the problem of this choice. The most beautiful and compelling aspect of the MCU in Phase 1 in particular is the prospect of an alternative universe out there where, to quote Jane Foster, "magic is just science that hasn't been explained yet". A world where superheroes truly can exist and aren't cartoonishly corny as superhoes used to be depicted... I'll say pre!Raimi Spider-Man era. (Though.. the Goblin's costume is still pretty goofy.)

What made Thor stand out as an individual hero within the Avengers (both the team, and the 2012 feature), and what made him so compelling to quite a many fans new, old, or casual, was that Thor is magical. He comes from a place where magic and science are the same thing. His whole world is ethereal and timeless, it's vast and expansive, and because it's inspired by real world norse mythology — of which is itself a rich and fascinating study in and of itself — there are a thousand different directions he could be taken.

I may be speaking partly for myself, but he also further ropes in a fantasy-centric audience such as myself who largely enjoy high-fantasy, medieval inspirations, tales of chivalry, hope, love, adventure, magic, timeless knights and princes — Dark World in particular has him acting quite a bit like your typical idea of a chivalrious, regal, stately prince or honorable knight who is virtuous and kind, and who protects those who can't protect themselves.

And that's just a single aspect of what made him so unique. What made him so unbelievably lovely. Thor is lovely, and Thor is magical. His family, friends, world, and people are magical.

But as of RAGNAROK, the realm he hails from was destroyed before our eyes before we got to truly know anything about it.

As of ENDGAME and LOVE AND THUNDER, the people and culture of asgard that remain has been so watered down that they dared to make New Asgard a tourist attraction in some rinky-dink nowhere backwater coastal town no different than Puente Antiguo, New Mexico where Thor first crash-landed in the first film.

Asgard used to be on par with, if not even more intriguing and full of mystery, than Wakanda, the earthen monarchy. Now it's a tourist trap that ... for some reason has "infinity gauntlet" ice cream in the heart of the town of a people devastated by Thanos twice.

The current ruler is someone to whom King Thor just gave the rulership. That's how every ruler will be made now [...] They don't need heirs now.

Potentially unpopular opinion (?) but I have so many issues with the decision to give Lady Valkyrie Thor's birthright that it could take an entire 10 paragraph essay for me to fully delve into all of the issues.

In short:

To say Valkyrie had a character beyond "traumatized alcoholic with a chip on her shoulder" is ... generous at best. That's not a diss, that is entirely factual. I could not tell you what her Want vs. Need is, or her character goal, or her motivations, or why she bothered to suddenly help Thor (re: lack of motivations) because she never took any action with any real agency in RAGNAROK that wasn't spurred on by Loki. ....Off screen.

I also don't think that the woman who had spent over 1,500 years MINIMUM running away from her home and her people, festering bitterness, spite and hatred towards the royal line, and who never actually respected Thor in the first place because of who his father is should have been honored the title of King. She did not deserve that. Both in general, and as a character who frankly just did not get enough screentime to really be SHOWN caring for her people, atoning for her absence and otherwise supporting, caring for, and working alongside Thor. Had she actually been shown doing any of the above in a substantial amount of screentime, perhaps then I might have felt differently, as if she earned the position more than Thor who has spent 2 solo movies (not counting RAGNAROK) earning his place as a future leader. This is likewise not entirely counting his O.S. actions of maintaining peace under his authority between Avengers and Dark World, and his personal search for the Infinity Stones post!Age of Ultron.

Valkyrie is powerful, yes, but she is ultimately still NOT an Asgardian Royal. And to your point about "this is how every ruler will be made now" — Heimdal aside, NO OTHER ASGARDIANS have special powers. It is EXCLUSIVE to Odin's bloodline. (Frigga is a practicing witch and these are two incredibly different things, since Loki was taught his magic, not born with it.) This is a GLARING worldbuilding issue further highlighted down below, but the tl;dr of it is: the only reason why Earth has been largely untouched and the Nine Realms kept safe in isolation despite the constant going-ons of the other galaxies in the universe is BECAUSE of the royal line. Odin isn't kidding around when he says he (and his bloodline) are protectors of the Nine Realms. Valkyrie is most certainly able to try, but at the end of the day she's NEVER going to be able to get through very many galactic battles without ultimately calling on Thor for assistance at the end of the day. And when her time is up? Or when Thor is finally dead and gone? There goes your ace in the hole.

But more than that, thinking about it semi-realistically from a worldbuilding perspective:

It's quite literally a cosmic problem in that there is now a galactic power imbalance. MCU!Thor comes from a version of Marvel's world where the there aren't literal gods, but there are aliens. Tons of aliens. All with varying powers and proportions and what-have-you-not. More specifically: power humanoid aliens from a realm called Asgard, that in Earth-199999 inspired the entirety of the Norse mythos of the viking age.

These aliens, governed by the ruling monarch of the realm eternal, also govern over 8 additional realms— which for all we know could range from a territory that is a singular planet (vanaheim, asgard), to potentially an entire solar system (earth and its solar system). BOTH options nine times over marks an absolutely incredible empire for a singular species of alien to claim complete control and territory over.

But they were not only able to obtain this territory but continue to safeguard it under Asgardian protection because the royal family is gifted incredible power (Thor, for instance, can change the atmosphere out of sheer mindless emotion not to mention conscious thought), and have secured and/or subdued multiple infinity stones throughout the millenia (the aether/reality stone, the tesseract/mind stone, thor has also personally endured a power stone directly to the temple, for instance), and have maintained peace for a MINIMUM of a thousand years beneath Odin's reign as All-Father, Protector of the Nine Realms.

So, if the royal family governs its own pocket dimension planet, AND maintains peace and prosperity by personally safeguarding the territories itself and of eight additional realms, all with a variety of other alien species, ecosystems, solar systems, galactic quadrants, etc. ...Who are also KNOWN to be fierce and proud warriors who have likewise safeguarded ancient and powerful alien relics the likes of the tesseract/mind stone for hundreds if not thousands of years — and you take this long-lived warrior race out of their own equation...?

We're talking potential outbreaks of a new age of war the likes of those talked about in Thor (2011), in-fighting amongst the Nine Realms, invasions from outside realms of conquesting species, so on and so forth. Without Asgard and specifically a Royal Asgardian at the seat of power to maintain the balance of what has been built, (and i specify a ROYAL asgardian, aka Thor's line, because his bloodline is the only asgardian bloodline with the raw power to maintain and preserve everything long-term), well, you've effectively started a cosmic power vacuum — even if the MCU likely will never bother to explore the consequences of it.

Slight sidebar (albeit still mostly related), but:

Quite frankly one of the funniest aspects of Thor's relationships with Nick Fury and the humans that are equally as worked up about aliens existing, pointing their fingers at Thor as an example of their right to be wary (and eventually Loki and the Chutari, though those are more earned) is that they are effectively minimum-wage fast-food employees bad-mouthing he who is essentially the up-and-coming Chairman of the metaphorical "Yggdrasil's Nine Realms Fast Food Chain" without realizing who he actually is.

(Which, viewing through that lens makes the Avengers Nick Fury scene and the Tony Stark Age of Ultron scene even more hilarious despite the eventual coming of Thanos, because Thor, bless him, doesn't take ...much... offense to it until the bad-blood becomes over-bloated and geared towards the violent. RE: "My people want nothing but peace with your planet." / "Your work with the tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is a signal to all the realms that the earth is ready for a higher form of war.")

For all of the drama of MCU Phases 1-3, realistically speaking, Midgard is low enough on the hierarchy of Asgard's protected territories that not only would it not be targeted first by Asgard's enemies (or other conquesting alien species), but even if it WAS to be targeted, or if Asgard was in its own fit of warfare ... Earth wouldn't even know it in the first place because THAT is how good at their jobs the Asgardians are. Earth, despite being SURROUNDED by alien activity and having even been in possession of multiple infinity stones at a time throughout history, not ONCE realized that (other) aliens existed out there... during the entirety of the 1,000-some years of peace that Odin so often talked about.

Loki & Thor Reunion Idea 

After seeing how much Loki's grown in his series, I really hope we see him return to the movie series. He doesn't have to be the main focus for a whole film, but a few scenes where he's important would be good.

Maybe, there can be a movie where Loki and Thor reunite. From what I remember, the original Loki (the one killed by Thanos) and Thor didn't outright say they loved each other. Of course, you can still express love without saying it but, after seeing them fight for years and resolving it right before Loki's death, seeing them say that they love each other.

I imagine that they see each other, and freeze (Thor because of shock and Loki feeling nervous about what to say), but Thor immediately snaps out of it, runs towards Loki, and bear hugs him. Though shocked, Loki hugs him back, and the brothers start crying. Loki starts apologizing for all the pain he’s caused Thor, to which the latter responds, “I’ve already forgiven you, brother. I missed you so much.” Loki smiles and says, “I missed you too brother.” 

Later on, when he has to return to the TVA, Loki and Thor say their goodbyes. Thor tells him that he’s proud of how much he’s changed and is happy he has friends there for him. In turn, Loki tells Thor that he’s proud of him too and jokes about how they are no longer the arrogant fools they used to be. They wish each other happy lives and say, “I love you.” Then it flashes back to them playing as children and being happy. 

I think this would be a very sweet way for Thor to move on from the pain of losing Loki. I wish it was acknowledged more in Endgame and Love & Thunder, but his depression was mostly played for laughs instead of developed into a full character arc. It also gives Loki the chance to apologize for some of his mistakes and have a nice reunion with Thor, unlike in his timeline where he was still a villain and Thor disliked him.

I'm really disappointed on how they showed Christian bale in Thor 4 like they should've done better with his acting skills

Tell me about it!

They had an actor of his callibre, known for his intense method acting, playing a character that would be worth his mettle, but then they waste him like that. Poor guy shaved his head for it and all.

Red Letter Media said in their review that Christian was in a different movie, Nat was in a different movie, and Chris half the time was in a different movie. Then maybe make that movie your main characters are in instead of a joke fest when you know the topics at hand are c*ncer and dystheism.

For what it's worth, I absolutely loved his interactions with Thor :) Christian also said that his favorite scene was with Chris in the Shadow Realm, probably because he had another person in the room with him in this green screen fest.

Okey I don't know where taika got idea bring baby in battle field (when you can put them in save place).

I don't know about history but all sane person and care for next generation will not straps their own baby in front of their body and brought them to battle field. Even ethic that killed other baby will not put they OWN baby in dangerous situation.

And in Thor love and thunder we saw frigga brought baby Thor to battle field and from her outfit and she brought Thor, frigga brought Thor not because like she got ambushed when with Thor but she brought Thor by her own choice.

Really? I know Asgard is Warrior race but they not stupid to put they next generation or heir in dangerous. I kind fine if when their child they got hard training but bring baby in battle field by choice ? I think they stupid and really crazy.

They wanted to say something like Thor was "born in war" or something and they probably wanted a parallel in the ending where Thor and Love charge into battle together. But the implications to that are terrible and horrifying.

Thor only knowing battle as a grand glorious was the original. It was the mindset he had to grow out of. So I don't get the ending of L&T or what we're suppose to get out of seeing Thor as a baby being brought in a combat situation. Metextually I know it's meant to look cool, it was put in to look cool and no thought of what that means for the story and world. But that's the entirety of Ragnarok and love & thunder

Respect Neo-Pagans and Our Gods!

Although they probably will never see it (or care), this post is meant for Hollywood, Netflix, Marvel and all other industries and streaming platforms that are hosting shows based on but twisting pagan or polytheist "mythology" or ancient religions such as Gods of Egypt, Immortals, Clash of the Titans, Thor: Love and Thunder, DT17, Supernatural, Kaos, Twilight of the Gods, Blood of Zeus, Percy Jackson, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Record of Ragnarok, American Gods, Lore Olympus, and God of War games, etc.

The trend of creating content that demonizes, humiliates, or insults our Gods is upsetting and unfair. Creative and artistic license is one thing, but it's a double-standard for content about the monotheistic god or religions to be treated with respect even when under academic criticism while are ours are depicted as one-dimensional, villainized and humiliated. We are asking for that same respect.

Yes, content about any kind of "mythology" is fun, but the modern world needs to please remember that these were and still are RELIGIONS to many people around the world, myself included.

People worshipped these Gods, listened to their stories around the fire, married under their vows, raised their children, went to war, and but also built magnificent structures, wrote literature, prayed in their temples, and many more!

In fact, we still have vestiges of their worship! The names of the months and days of the week in the Western world come from Roman or Norse/Germanic Gods, the Olympic Games were originally dedicated to Zeus, the Hippocratic Oath was originally a prayer offered to Apollo, people from all over the ancient world visited the shrine and oracle at Apollo's Delphi, and many more examples.

And while yes, sometimes people were sacrificed to some pagan Gods (not so much the Greeks or Romans), but are we really going to pretend that many more people haven't died in the name of Christianity or Islam??

Lord Zeus wasn't just some womanizer, he was also King of the Gods, Father of Gods and Humans, the God of Hospitality, Oaths, Lightning, Law, Order, Authority, Monarchy, etc.

This was also Lord Zeus of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Odin of the ancient Norse:

This was also Lady Hera of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Ra of the ancient Egyptians:

This was also Lord Huracan of the ancient Maya:

Even if you personally don't worship these Gods, at least respect the fact that your ancestors did. Imagine if 100-200 years from now your descendants start making movies and shows that demonize or humiliate Yahweh, Jesus, Allah and Mohammed, etc.!

In fact, neo-paganism is the fastest growing religion in the United States: https://commonwealthpolicycenter.org/paganism-is-americas-fastest-growing-religion/#:~:text=Paganism%20is%20one%20of%20the,a%20broader%20form%20of%20paganism.

Members of Ásatrù, heathen religion of Iceland, honoring the Norse Gods:

Members of Hellenism, honoring the ancient Greek Gods:

Members of my religion, Nova Roma, honoring the ancient Roman Gods:

Traditional African religion:

Traditional Maya religion:

Members of Wicca at Stonehenge, the biggest Neo-Pagan religion in the world with 3-5 million practioners worldwide!

Our Gods are our RELIGION, not just your "mythology!" And both They and we, their followers, deserve the same respect you expect for your religions.

And they at least would never condemn you to an eternal fiery pit simply for not believing in them, unlike some other god I could mention.

They are here. We are here. They exist. We exist. And we are not going anywhere.

Taika Waititi's tenure with the #Thor franchise continues to split opinion among #Marvel fans.

Reflecting on the backlash he faced when he was announced as the director of #ThorRagnarok, #TaikaWaititi remarked, "Fans said, 'He's gonna ruin Thor!' I responded, 'You don't know what you want until I give it to you.'" While Ragnarok and its sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder, were financially successful, they received mixed reviews and criticism for their tone and departure from the earlier films.

With Waititi not returning for a potential Thor 5, some fans may feel justified in their skepticism. He is now focusing on other projects, including an adaptation of Klara and the Sun.

[beheworthy]

I just found your blog and posts talking about how Thor Ragnarok wasn’t all that and it honestly feels so vindicating to see you and others talk about this now! I remember trying to discuss criticism of Ragnarok back in 2017-18 and how I didn’t like the direction it seemed to be taking the MCU in and I literally got DOGPILED on. I had people coming into my inbox on anon and in my post replies telling me I hated fun, that I didn’t know what I was talking about, that I was homophobic (???) and all this other horrible shit (some even telling me to kms) JUST because I critiqued the film’s characterization of Thor and Loki, the poor balance of comedy and seriousness, and other issues. But look, all these years later, and everything I said about the mishandling and direction of the characters and story ended up happening (just look at Love and Thunder) and now a lot of people are realizing how maybe people like us had a point. Anyways again, I am glad to find your blog and posts all these years later!!

oh man i'm so sorry you had to go through all that. i assure you you're not alone and all of us went through this same experience. i got so much hate and resistance, got called what not (still do) - just for not liking thor's direction but i never stopped because i knew that just because i was a minority, it doesn't make me wrong.

so please, you are more than welcome to join our little thor appreciation society. our master yoda @fostertheory , my love @notallthosewho-wanderarelost , goddess of thunder @m1ghtythor , queen of asgard @karioke13 , king @zndr315-blog

and the greatest ever @uniiiquehecrt . there are many more lovely people who pop in from time to time as well<3

i could reiterate the 300 ways marvel drilled him in the ground but i think i have spoken more than enough since november 2017, conveniently categorized here - #anti thor ragnarok . here is my blog archive to help you find posts more easily. and here are all my complaints summarized in a 10k word post because i just can't let this shit go.

and here are some people just like you who have messaged over the years about how alone they felt in their criticism of thor3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ❤️

(Mild spoilers for Deadpool and Wolverine ahead) I thought Deadpool and Wolverine was fun, but i'm lowkey pissed off that it's getting praised for the same things that got Taika Waititi death threats for having in Thor: Love and Thunder. I'm not saying T:L&T was a brilliant movie, but Marvel dudebros act like the whole thing was an unforgivable sin! Even now, people are still unreasonably mad about it.

To give a few examples:

T:L&T has a scene where the CGI of a floating head hologram is not great, and it gets so much criticism for that. D&W has a scene where Deadpool's katana clearly clips straight through his body, which a lot of people noticed but weren't anywhere near as mad about it. Critiscising these kinds of flaws in both movies is good, but only focusing on the flaws of T:L&T is unfair.

T:L&T has been criticised for having too many jokes/ not being serious enough. Yet D&W has so many more jokes/ less seriousness than T:L&T, and people love it. The Thor movies have always had jokes and ridiculous moments, so it's not like T:L&T was a complete genre flip.

The jokes in T:L&T and D&W have a very similar style, D&W just has more r-rated ones. T:L&T briefly showing giant screaming goats is too silly, but multiple scenes of Dogpool in D&W is great (both are fine). T:L&T is bad/ disrespecting the MCU for having tongue-in-cheek, mockery of the genre jokes. Meanwhile, D&W is praised for having 4th wall jokes about the MCU, purposely silly cameos, jabs at DC, and jokes about how multiverses are bad. People love it! Personally, I thought the serious moments in T:L&T were more impactful than those in D&W, which balanced out its light and dark moments better. But that's just my preference.

I'm not saying D&W is getting no backlash. It is, but the overwhelming response is positive, and a lot of the same people who passionately hated T:L&T love D&W. I really did have fun watching it! I'm also not saying D&W is a bad movie or claiming that T:L&T is better than it. I'm just pointing out that there is a hell of a lot of bias there.

Some of this bias must be because people have more nostalgia over Wolverine and some of the cameos in D&W than characters in T:L&T. Mostly, I think the bias is just plain hatred for the fact that T:L&T is a Taika Waititi movie. Certain Marvel dudebros can't stand to see this indigenous, jewish creator being successful! They don't like that Taika is consistently respectful about including minorities too. Sure, I like that D&W at least includes some cool minority characters briefly, but was the use of the r slur and all the offending the woke mob jokes necessary? Nah. People who don't like Taika went into watching T:L&T expecting it to be bad, and everything confirmed it, whereas they had the opposite expectations for D&W, so they loved it (confirmation bias). I'm sorry, but the reaction to D&W compared to T:L&T just proves to me that Taika and anyone else involved with T:L&T deserved better than the vitriol they got.

[stromuprisahat]

About five minutes in Thor: Love and Thunder (because apparently I've decided to suffer today), and I already can't wait to see another article treating Taika Waititi as some sort of native inhabitants's icon, showing it to evil white western corporations, 'cause re-introducing Thor as ripped, cool white saviour of poor helpless peaceful inhabitants, robbed of their foolish fake religion turns my stomach in a way I'm rather certain it wasn't intended to.

( RULES BELOW THE CUT )

BLOG & MUN INFO: Private and selective MCU based RP blog, this means I rp only with mutuals at this time. Multi-ship/verse/continuity. Mun + Muse are both 30+, we will not rp with anyone under 21+ regardless of the plot/topic. I have no specific triggers, all questionable content is tagged with general tags ________tw or ___________ cw.

Blog and writing can contain NSFW and/or highly triggering content, please read my stance and PSA regarding that.

ON WRITING:  Medium to High Activity, this means I am online quite a bit, speed of replies however is depending on muse, real life stuff and can vary from absolutely insanely fast rapid-fire to a bit longer. Multi paras and novellas will usually be queued to keep my sanity from going haywire.

I consider myself adaptive and literate ( English is technically my 3rd language, and typos are the bane of my existence please forgive me any errors ). I’m comfortable with any length, script/chats, multi-paras, novellas and everything in between. There is no need to match length, just give me enough to work with and it’s all good.

ON INTERACTIONS: The best way to start writing together is to poke me in IM, throw something via Ask, or make use of the Memes . There is also a permanent starter & interaction call here that I check when I’m inspired to write small or big interactions/starters.

OC and Multi-muse friendly. I am however selective with both.

For OC’s, it’s helpful if you have a plot in mind already and your character is developed with some info/bio I can read up on, feel free to come to me with suggestions ^^

Multi-muse blogs are also welcomed and loved. However, we appreciate well-developed muses, and we love developing relationships with said well-developed muses.

I cleanse my following and followers regularly, if we haven’t interacted IC or OOC after quite some time I will cultivate my lists accordingly. No hard feelings, the door is always open. This also goes for following to remade blogs or new blogs, I will pick and choose if I follow you elsewhere.

ON TIMELINE & CANON:  I’m in general very anti-Marvel and very MCU critical, especially when it comes to the movies and some directors. Negativity regarding this is rare, if I post about it it will be tagged with “ marvel wank “.

My muse and timeline are hella canon divergent since Ragnarok, things are cherry-picked from canon.

Please make sure to read my Ragnarok PSA and Endgame PSA. When in doubt, poke me with questions :3

ON MY CONTENT:  I don’t enforce reblog karma on my blog, so feel free to reblog memes, general gifsets, quotes, music or whatever else from me <3

Please don’t reblog my world building posts or head canon posts without checking with me if it’s okay.

As much as I appreciate people’s approval of my creative works these posts are for my muse and for his universe specifically ( or even verse dependent ). More often than not things spread like wildfire in the fandom, and I don’t necessarily like my content to be exposed to a large group of people. It messes up my activity feed, it opens doors for needless discussion and discourse, and it is more likely to get stolen or copied. Please consider this before reblogging any of these posts and contact me if it’s okay to reblog a particular post. Original posts that are verse or ship dependent are off-limits by default, as are posts not created by me but by others for my muse or our verse.

ON RELATIONSHIPS:  I match your freak, IC and OOC.

Any NSFW content will be played out with partners we’re comfortable with and we established a relationship with. If your sole purpose for interactions with us is shipping and/or smut I’d rather you look elsewhere, I’m probably not the right partner for you.

I ship Thor with a LOT of people, he loves a lot and loves hard, we ship chemistry first and foremost. He is not picky in the slightest, but plotting and development are awesome things! We don’t assume or insta-ship ( not even if the ship is canon), and any kind is welcomed. Brotp’s, enemies, strange neighbor, weird uncle? Yes please.

Ships are only possible with development, when there is undeniable and natural chemistry, and especially if we vibe well OOC, I’m not a fan of pre-plotted ships.

Exclusives/Affiliates:

For my own comfort I prefer to build relationships for my muse that are meaningful and will last. This means that I have main muses/partners that have our love and trust and we will prefer new plots and threads with them over new partners.

However we will not be exclusive with anyone unless there is a mutual exclusivity.

Please note that the exclusivity/affiliation extends to faceclaims also, I’m old af and Thor is set in his ways, neither of us enjoy confusion or chase faceclaims.

Regular non-shipping rps:

There is no issue however with rp-ing as a certain character if I already am with someone else, however I will keep everybody out of each other’s world.

Don’t assume kinship, or friendships. Thor will approach canon characters according to the MCU timeline and will treat them as such.

Thor only has children in side-verses and plotted verses with specific muses. In default/main he has no children ( yet ) so any replies or approaching him as his offspring will result in confusion. Please approach me first to see if I A) am open to new threads and B) am willing to plot something before interacting.

Please don’t be mad if I deny participating, I will always inform you about the reasons.

I take relationships, IC and OOC, very seriously, and expect the same courtesy in return. This means I value OOC communication and enthusiasm a lot, and will expect depth and development between us as muns and our muses. This goes for romance but also family, friends and any other sort of interactions. Wordlessly dropping essential ( key word essential ) and plotted out threads, or disappearing for prolonged periods of time without any sort of communication, or blatantly discarding a ship is hurtful, it kills my muse and the will to invest in interactions.
