I feel like both MCU and the fandom moved on from the fact that Odin deadass tried to kill his own kids in TDW too quickly.
Like, those people he sent after Thor and Loki were going for a kill, the man really was ready to send them kids to their mama-
#it's the murder-suicide movie 💛#1. odin as family annihilator of his entire kingdom#(when you don't see those under your power as people of their own hurting them just seems like an extension of your own *self*-destruction)#2. loki attempting battlefield suicide (vengeance and self-sacrifice and self-punishment all at once)#even addressing his enemy as a mirror of himself in his dying moments (two monsters bound for hel) (again)#3. the kursed gaining the power to hurt others by submitting to violence themselves#(i can't remember if it's explicitly deadly but we can see it's burning them up and there's no going back)#4. the ambiguity of sacrifice (is it murder or is it suicide) on so many levels#if you know someone is willing to die for you is it murder to let them?#loki is willing to die for his family. loki wants to die because of his family. can we ever really untangle those facts?#thor wanted to stop him. thor was too late. how much guilt can he hold for a death he didn't want but had a hand in causing nevertheless?#space viking tag

it's good that the word "four" is "four" letters long
#^_^#beklager jeg snakker bare litt norsk så jeg kan ikke skrive på nynorsk men jeg elsker at norsk har tre ord som dette sammen#to - tre - fire. så flott <3 so satisfying <3

i desperately need to practice writing prose without being obsessively perfectionist but i also desperately need to focus on making sure at least some of my many many projects actually have clear plots and until i've done the latter i can't do the former but the longer i don't do the former the easier it gets to be perfectionist about those plots and just keep moving the goalposts so that i Never have enough to actually start writing </3

joking aside it is genuinely kind of dispiriting to have So Many Thoughts while also having absolutely no idea how to express them in a way that would reach more than like. four people. and like i love those four people don't get me wrong. but in the face of the largest fandom on earth it doesn't really change the sense of bleak insignificance and futility
#like it's not just Anger or wanting to be Right#and it's not like i want EVERYONE to agree with me not by ANY means#i'd just like. idk. to feel like there was a place in the fandom for me#like it's just so *alienating* when no one likes the thing the same way you do#and ofc i also think it's a fun reading and i want to share it bc i enjoy it#but the fact that the entire fandom is constantly making me feel like a conspiracy brained freak for. doing analysis. is not very fun tbh#and they don't even mean to do it they're just trying to be mean to loki stans in general. they have no idea what i'm up to#i'm literally a strawman they would never imagine actually existed#sigh.

[watching video essays and fuming] as soon as i acquire speaking skills, editing skills, cinematography skills, a camera, luck with the youtube algorithm and the willingness to attach my real-world identity to my opinions it's over for you fuckers

the problem with the state of thor opinions is that people think they can just jump straight into advanced studies (thor's characterisation) without going through the prerequisites (loki's characterisation) and therefore they don't understand fundamental concepts of the entire thor franchise. like how odin is the fucking villain
#space viking tag#constructive complaining#this one was written as a joke but then i realised i actually mean it.#it's a deconstruction and loki is the key#he's not a niche interest for obsessives he's literally the starting point for having any kind of informed opinion at all

watching video essays and trying not to bite people again
#this one literally frames thor being king as a good and triumphant thing where he realises his childhood ambitions and ~destiny~#while showing the clip of child thor endorsing genocide...#~ohhh no i just don't get it the point is that thor has grown PAST that and knows how to be a REAL king now UwU~#incorrect! real kings are evil. source: 1) avengers (2012) 2) thor: the dark world (2013)#i don't care if ragnarok changed direction. RAGNAROK IS WRONG#biting biting biting you. picking you up in my fangs and shaking you. shut UP about thor

some things to know about seeking asylum, and being a refugee, as the vitriol continues to ramp up.
under the 1951 convention of refugees, you cannot "illegally" seek asylum. you have the right to be in a country, until a decision is made.
in every country i know, you must have entered the country to seek asylum. you cannot seek asylum from a country you are not in.
therefore, this means, you have to either enter the country through non-conventional channels [e.g., migration via boats] or enter the country under false pretences [e.g. lying on your visa application by stating you are coming for "tourism".] furthermore, due to how getting a visa works, many people who desperately need safety, will never have the funds to get a visa, or may be denied entry. this is no fault of their own.
there is an immense burden on you to "integrate", and no real pressure for countries to help you do so. this is a local example, but home office has been repeatedly informed that different dialects of Arabic are not mutually intelligible, and translators should be provided with the same dialect. this does not happen.
a lot of refugees have complicated feelings about both their home countries and the countries they have sought asylum from. this is not "bad".
to get refugee status, you must continually demonstrate all your vulnerable moments, and how much they have affected you to strangers. there is a lack of privacy, and it takes a toll on you quickly. i would have liked to not narrate the worst parts of my life. i would have liked if there wasn't an expectation for me to not get emotional about it.
refugees have dreams and aspirations and families and jobs they like and money and wealth they might have left and people do not realise, how much people are willing to sacrifice for safety.
we are human too.
as always, if you have questions about asylum seeking, being a refugee, my experience, and so on and so forth, my inbox is always open. personal questions included 👍🏽 don't worry about getting invasive.
if you have spare money, and want to help a refugee begin to rebuild his life, help me here :)

here's how frostshield can still win
#frostshield#joke post. obviously. but imagine the beautiful chaos in a world where they did this#frostshield has never been winning not even once but as a left-field stunt for a dying mcu it would be kind of a visionary choice#people want gay steve rogers right? it's arguably the single biggest thing the gays have been crying out for all along?#and loki is literally already bi
