The problem with always being in pain, and subsequently taking medication so that you are not is that sometimes you wind up seriously hurting yourself and not noticing.

Like how I twisted my knee going down the stairs the other day, and only just now realised that it's seriously fucked up because holy shit it's really swollen and kind of bruised. Which I didn't notice because I live in pyjama pants and don't look at my knees very often.

It's times like this I long to be back in a place of my own, where I don't have to feel guilty about spending several hours in a hot bath. Fucking damnit, my mum wants me to go Christmas shopping with her tomorrow, and I'm not sure I'll be able to. This is not fun.

favourite incarnation of Loki, and thoughts therein? - from st_aurafina


Okay, I've been spending all day thinking about this, and those who know me may find part of my answer surprising. I have many problems with Fraction's run of Thor, but Kid Loki is not one of them. He wasn't the focus of anything, and was just kind of there in the background, quietly stirring up shit. One of the funniest pages I think I've ever read was when Loki shouts "Oy gimp!" as he kicks Don Blake in the shins, steals his cane, and runs off with it to the desert. And for no reason whatsoever. He just did it. For the first time in a very long time, Loki actually felt like Loki, the chaos god he's supposed to be. He was just messing with shit because he wanted to. No blackmail hanging over his head, or sense of impending doom if he didn't stir shit up. He just did it because he felt compelled, and for no other reason. That's always been the Loki that's in my main fic series, all grown up and six and a half feet of irritating.


Similarly, that's also why I really liked Trials of Loki. There were two stories being told there, and the background stories, about how he used to just wander around doing shit for the lulz cracks me up. It's the only time in Marvel that the myths and the heroes actually have any real overlap. I'm not sure if it's even 616 (some sources say yes, some say no; I lean toward no), but it's amazing all the same. And it's also the comic where we get naked beardy Loki with long damn hair, so that's always a plus.


But if I were going to mention eye candy Lokis I've enjoyed, I could be here all night. lol
