@NotTildaSwinton is the best thing ever.
Seriously you all need to read this twitter.
Dear fandom,
No one
who is blogging thoughtfullyis saying ‘don’t do the thing.’They are just trying to let you know that there are problems with how the thing is presented in fandom.
So when you do the thing, as the spirit takes you, be at least conscious of what you are doing.
If you want to do the thing because you want to do something beautiful, then do something beautiful! If you want to do the thing because you want to do something savage, then do something savage. But if you are going to do the thing just to do the thing, then maybe you should at least be aware of what you are perpetuating as you do it.
Peace out~
Where the thing is Exotic!Jotun Loki, but this statement can apply to many thingsAnyone who is harassing someone is being an asshole and I really hate the idea of fandom policing. As much as I may bitch privately or on my own blog about how I cannot fucking stand certain parts of fandom, I would never try to shut them down.
I think fandom needs to really take a deep breath a lot of the time and realize it is ok to like or enjoy problematic things, and what most people ask is that you simply be aware and understand why others find it problematic and not be an asshole about it.
Lord knows I love a lot of problematic things, the list is REALLY LONG lol, but I do get why a lot of them are problematic in some way. It doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy them, but it pays off to be a little more aware.

The first time I watched The Avengers I was really struck by the searching way Thor looked at Loki whenever they were in a scene together. And I think now I just suddenly realised why — it’s more common in Thor for him to not look at Loki, even when they’re directly conversing. Even in the coronation scene, Thor seems to look at everyone except for Loki. It’s not unkind, at least not intentionally. It’s that whole shadow idea — he’s just so used to Loki always being there, that he takes his presence entirely for granted. And then in the next movie, he’s trying his damndest to show Loki that he sees him.
And Loki’s all “bitch you wouldn’t recognise me for what I am if I tossed you from a very great height SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT.”
damn them both i suddenly don’t even want to see the next movie ‘cause i know these assholes are just going to break my heart because they never listen to each other

Jotun Prince Loki is my faaaaavvvveee
But just imagine how much more fun it would be for him to be a disney princess? For one, just imagine how great his ‘I want’ song would go?
‘I want power, I want knowledge, I want respect, I want I want I want..
I do what I want’

lol I’m watching the third potc and now I just really want Thor and Loki to get married in the middle of a battle
yes pls need
The real question is ‘Are they battling other people, or are they just battling each other during the entire *ceremony*?’
Another thought in the portrayal of Jotuns in Thor fandom, which really tends to amuse me, I know it’s problematic and I should take it a bit more seriously, is that you know most of the people contributing to the…it’s pretty much Orientalism applied to a fictional race, are doing so because they want to prove how racist and terrible the Aesir are and want to white knight the Jotun victims in their fanworks. The irony makes me laugh.
Except in like 70% of the fic, the jotnar who aren’t Loki are pretty terrible. Yes, even though you can barely trust Loki, he is still meant to be more relatable than the rest of his race in many of these fics.
Or if you are introduced to Jotnar beyond Loki, it is often just show show Laufey and how Loki is a victim of Luafey’s uncaring disposal of him as a tool, often in marriage or assassination.
BUT every once in a while you get caring Laufey fic, or at least fic that have Jotnar characters with personality who AREN’T Loki or Laufey who at least show that not all Jotnar are as terrible as they are.
I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE
RIGHT
NOW
Oh my fucking shit.
THAT’S why you want to see this film? For Tom Hiddleston’s torso?
Not for a ‘witty script filled with brill literary references’? Really?
Really?

Here, have some Dionysus-Thor fic!
It was Gaia that first discovered the changeling child. She picked up the babe, cooing to him, but as she held him close, he felt cold as clay. As she held him before herself, Gaia, mother of gods and titans and giants, wondered aloud at who this child was, for surely it was not Odin’s babe? ‘Who is this babe, for I know it as surely as I was not the mother of Odin’s child that I am surely a mother of this changeling. Is this child not made of my bones, shaped of earthen clay? Odin’s child had tasted of lightning and rain, but who is this child, whose kisses surely taste of my son Odin’s blood, but not of his making?’
The child looked at her with his knowing eyes and answered in a babe’s voice; ‘I was the babe left behind, while those who opened my eyes took the other babe away.’ Gaia marveled at the clever cuckoo. ‘Why ever would they do that, my child?’ ‘Because it was what they wished of me? Because I liked his face and wanted it for my own when they bid me to look on it and take it? Because I wanted this place in the sunlight atop the mountain?’ I know very little of the world- only that which my eyes have seen, but my eyes have seen that they want this place very much, mother’
Gaia clucked her tongue. ‘You did a bad deed, my child. I am not the only mother here, and surely others will know the crime. I am afraid you must be silent while I kidnap you myself, lest someone realize the role you played in this crime, my not so innocent babe.’
Gaia hid away the child and called for the guards, alerting them to the empty bassinet.
Odin raged and stormed, and with his best trackers he set out to find his own lost babe. But it was too late.
