as i grow ever more convinced/concerned that i will one day write thorki fic the "sylki is incest" thing just annoys me more because no if i do ever actually write the incest pairing i want everyone to appreciate how far i have fallen and what dreadful things i have unleashed and if people were already doing that anyway over a SELFcest ship then what would even be the POINT of my tragic spiral into villainy???
#don't worry there's no thorki wips on this machine i've been strong so far it's mostly just wholesome selfcest currently <3#and: someone said sylkis don't think their ship is weird and like... I DO. I VERY DO. it's also HILARIOUS!

I think it’d be a good idea to let people from the Middle Ages use tumblr
dccomicing
anti vaxxers
look into my eyes and tell me a person from the Middle Ages who lost 3 kids by the time they are 25 and coughs up blood every now and then would be against a vial with a heaven-sent potion that can protect you from the demons that plague the Earth with just one small prick. look into my eyes and lie to me
Finally I can use this.
They would love vaccines.
#calling part of it “the dark ages” has really bitten us all repeatedly on the arse hasn't it? :(#they loved medicine! they weren't overall very good at it but they loved it!#they would LINE UP for vaccines and whoever invented them would be canonised ASAP (and rightly so)!#“hey do you want the thing that'll stop your family dying of-” “YES. GIVE ME THIS THING IMMEDIATELY.”#Medieval (Europe) Tumblr would probably be a lot of Lives Of Saints blogs (saintblrs??) and some Wat Tyler stans#“i am going to copy this post out and illuminate the manuscript and show it to all my friends!”#and oh god the arguments they could have about the english language D: D: D:#history stuff

For anyone keeping track (no one), I have started watching the first Avengers film (MCU not the 60s TV show) but only while eating lunch so it's gonna take a while. So far Nick Fury has been assembling the Avengers (the film was initially released in the UK as Avengers Assemble - because of that 60s TV show - but it's not called that on D+ so I'm calling it what the Americans called it, just FYI) even though there's not yet anything for them to avenge as That Suit Guy (j/k I know his name too!!) isn't dead yet, and now they're on THE FUCKING VALIANT FROM DR WHO and I assume we're gonna continue assembling for a while as they're not all there yet.
MEANWHILE Loki (who is neither an alligator nor a woman in this???) is in a SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIR with a bunch of his stans who are... idk something technobabble that involves irridium and anti-protons. He is there looking for the tesseract on behalf of ???? who I know will be revealed 47 films from now as... no, wait, it wasn't, was it? That was just announced on a website or something? So it could be LITERALLY ANYONE. The Avengers (in-progress) also seem to be after that thing, but I have already forgotten why everyone is wanting it, assuming it was mentioned (it probably was).
Thor hasn't shown up yet, but Arrows Hawkeye is working as a Loki Stan and there's Steve Rogers and THE HULK and The Only Woman One, whose power is that she's a Cold War assassin (??) and I think this one is the film where she gets called a cunt (!) and honestly I am not sure which of the men she's getting officially shipped with, I think Arrows Hawkeye though? Fairly sure, as the alternative is that a man and a woman like each other as people but not in a lusty way, which would never happen obviously. (Hey I may ship mostly het* pairings but I don't always like it!)
Based on the Valiant (if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!) I am guessing that the film ends with Loki dying in Thor's arms romantically but then I remembered that I know it can't because one of Loki got kidnapped from... either the end of this film or the start of the next one or POSSIBLY just from a later film's time-travel bit (???) but like... maybe they've edited this film secretly and I was right after all? But nobody else has watched it on Disney + recently so nobody knows yet? IT COULD HAPPEN.
Not sure what to make of this film so far, a lot's been going on yet also not much has been going on, and the one I like best so far (Suit Guy) is gonna die (NOT EVEN IN THOR'S ARMS ROMANTICALLY) and god Iron Man really hasn't aged well now that we have that one tech billionaire being a twat in public all the time to remind us what such people tend to be like. WHERE IS THOR????
*I say het but everyone in everything is bisexual, I know this because I thought of it and announced it on tumblr and will now say "I don't make the rules" to make it an objective FACT. I don't make the rules!!!
#the avengers (mcu edition not the 60s one)#(though if u close one eye and tilt ur head the black widow looks a wee bit like emma peel maybe?)#i like to think the lair of loki stans exists after this to post angrily on social media about how actually he did nothing wrong etc etc#let me know if loki's just working from a subway station that's still in use in this that'd be hilarious he'd be so annoyed by it all#torn on the tortured-by-thanos issue so far he does look messy but he might just have the flu and didn't want to back out#a lot of people are depending on him to jumpstart a movie superhero franchise he can't just take the day off can he#if loki took care of himself thor would be LITERALLY UNEMPLOYED how could he? how could YOU?#(the 'god of thunder' thing isn't a job he doesn't get paid for it so it's just a hobby)#(he doesn't even monetise that hobby! you think iron man would give you storms for free? EXACTLY. he'd have a patreon AT LEAST)#(“if you enjoyed this torrential rain pls tip me on ko-fi which is not pronounced like you think it is because it's a really BAD pun”)#mcu tag i guess#and whatever the fuck my loki character tag was#like i said i really do need to categorise my lokis more it's been bothering me for a while#reminder: i am here because they cast a woman in a previously-male role and SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THIS FILM. OR ANY OF THEM. D:#don't think the alligator's gonna turn up here either :( :( :(#otherwise it's just kind of fascinating what this film assumes i do and don't know about these characters#nick fury's a goth right?
new crack ship: Sylvie x Hela. this exists purely to annoy Sylki antis who will presumably have a knee-jerk reaction to claim that it's incest like they do with Sylki, except unlike with Sylki, there's no possible straw to grasp at to claim they're at all related in any sense. they've never met, and Sylvie has no biological relation to and very few memories of Hela's family. Helvie is immune to the incest accusations, god bless 🙏
Antis would clearly be less mad seeing Sylvie x Hela than Sylvie x Loki anyway lol. Who's gonna write it ???
fic where instead of going to Lamentis, Loki and Sylvie end up on Asgard during Ragnarok, and Sylvie saves the day by making Hela fall in love with her >>>
Loki x Sylvie x Hela
ooooh now this is a ship 👀
Can the ship name be Helsylki?
I’ve always wanted to see that done properly.
#i bet you 27p that there's fic where she actually does that#(AS LONG AS IT'S PROPERLY TAGGED THAT'S FINE!!!)#okay some sifki fic is very clearly There's Only One Woman On Asgard He's Not Related To So I'm Stuck For An M/F Pairing Here#but some of it's good times!#and some of those good times involve him getting fucked with a rake!

Loki attacking earth like his frost giant ancestors before him (I wonder if thanos knew he was a frost giant btw)
Loki really went "if you won't accept me as an Asgardian, I'll be as obnoxiously Jotun as I can" and I respect him for it.
Alternatively, one could say that in his quest to destroy that part of his identity, he solidified it, but that's slightly less great 😬
I definitely think that Thanos knew he was a Frost Giant. I don't know if there's anything to really back it up in canon or if it's just my headcanons getting the best of me, but I get the feeling Thanos knows a lot about Loki and his life and his grievances. I feel like The Avengers worked out too well for it to have all been a coincidence. In his grief and his anger and his confusion, it makes perfect sense for Loki to have latched onto that desire for a throne and that need to get back at Thor by taking over his beloved Earth, and the fact that Thanos chose Loki specifically for this task makes me think that he knew that. I know it's the common theme among Loki stans to say that Thanos did nothing but torture him and was a monster through and through, but I like to think that Thanos's manipulation was more subtle than that, and that while the Mind Stone was leeching away at what little sanity he had left, Loki almost trusted him. Because he was so desperate for a father figure and we know Thanos likes to play The Dad™ to orphans (usually after making them orphans but maybe he makes exceptions for people who latch onto him like lost kittens) and I think Loki absolutely would have confided in him because he thought he'd finally found someone who cares. And I don't think he realized until it was all over and he was free from the Mind Stone's hold on him that it was a bad idea, and by that point, there was nothing he could do but watch the world burn.
Oooh this is so interesting.
You’re one of the few people I’ve seen who also thinks that Thanos’s… mistreatment, let’s say- of Loki was more subtle. And I think Loki had a tad bit more agency than just being kidnapped and used as a slave.
I always describe it as Loki going in kahoots with the scariest mafia boss in the galaxy (Thanos ofc). Like he chose to “ally” with him and he willingly went along with his plan, but he was terrified of him all the while.
And if you add this layer- that Loki actually came to see Thanos as a father figure at a time in his life when he desperately needed one- then this scenario makes even more sense.
Like he was hurt and lost and pissed so he started up this unequal partnership with Thanos, and even though he got put through hell in his time working with him, he never tried to break their partnership because- along with having his pain and lostness and anger heightened by the mind stone- he also was loyal to Thanos and looked up to him in this really twisted way. I just-
Wow. Emotions.
