Can I please walk two steps into the Hazbin fandom without people blatantly erasing Alastor's aro-aceness?
"Oh, but some people who are aro-ace want relationships!"
Yeah, but that excuse gets really fucking old after a while when you seem to use it for literally every asexual character you see, dude! Especially if they're a character you happen to find attractive!
Your aphobia is showing and you're really not doing a good job of hiding it!
A Merlin TV show-style series about Thor, Loki, Sif, and the warriors three in their adventures before the events of the Thor movie. Please.
Even if it’s just a mini-series, I need this in my life.
Adventures in Asgard and the other nine realms, the team of six going on quests and battling to keep the peace within them. Odin and Frigga behind them to send them on those journeys, all the while cutting back to them every so often to show some political intrigue, the tense atmosphere of their relationship, and just to what extent they favored Thor over Loki.
Showing the daily lives of Asgardians and, hell, maybe cut to Laufey sometimes and show the events going on in Jotunheim as well? Maybe that point when Loki showed them how to get through to Asgard in the Thor movie wasn’t the first time he’d ever helped the Jotuns? The others just never caught onto most of it, or if they did, they just never told anyone for fear of Loki being exiled or something?
Maybe even show Loki having a thing for Sif, then eventually confessing his feelings only to get rejected as Sif fell for Thor? That’d be interesting! Especially since Sif was in love with him in the comics. (I know people don’t like love triangles, but seriously, they can be done well.)
I mean, especially the warriors three, at the very least. Because we BARELY knew them from their short time on screen, and they definitely deserve some love.
Maybe you could even show a few flashbacks of things that happened with Hela and Odin? That’d be interesting to see! Gives her a bit more character fleshing-out while also possibly giving some context for stuff that happens later? Cutting back between Hela’s time with Odin and the Brother’s time with him?
Bottom line: Someone at Marvel, or Disney, or whoever else- please, make this happen! (Bonus points if, because Marvel was bought by Disney, the series has musical elements to it. Seriously, I will die on this hill, a marvel musical would be amazing.)
Me, watching the first three episodes: “Wow, the way they’re writing this ‘Terry’ guy can be a little annoying. I don’t think I’m going to like his character very much.”
*Episode 4 happens, Terry has the ‘get a grip’ conversation*
Me: *Raises eyebrow* Go on.
Terry, later: “Everyone saw me as a doe, but I knew I was a buck.” “I chose my name.”
Me, immediately:

I hope you get the help you need, and that your daughter gets through this okay. I sadly don't have money to spare, but I'll answer here so other people can see in case they have funds for you.
No Jotun we ever saw in the MCU had hair, right? But Hela has black hair, just like Loki has, and has a familial resemblance to Loki, despite apparently not being related to them, but supposedly being related to Thor, who looks nothing like her. We're also never given a potential 'mother' option in the movies, so there's nothing to say this might not have been the case. Frigga and Loki also have a resemblance to each other, which also strengthens the idea, imo.
My theory basically turns Loki from the adopted child, to the half sibling of both Thor and Hela, and the product of a secret interspecies affair that the royal family is trying to cover up. Coming up with the idea of an 'adoption' as a last-resort explanation in case Loki's Jotun heritage ever came to light. (Basically throwing Loki under the bus for being related to a race demonized in Asgard.)
Odin resents Loki (And somewhat resents Frigga, explaining why we never see them interacting outside of Odin commanding Frigga to 'leave' at the beginning of Thor Dark World.) for being the product of his wife's affair and the son of his enemy, thus why he's so distant from them.
I think, if we ignore the bias and retcon-filled phase 4 (Like we should), it also explains why Loki might be smaller than most Jotuns. It's because Loki isn't a full-blooded Jotun, Loki is a half-Jotun. (Which explains why Loki can learn Asgardian magic when we've gotten no indication Jotuns can do so, etc.)
I dunno, this theory came to mind and I wanted to share, lol.
I finally caught back up on The Dragon Prince, and I gotta say, I'm glad the newer seasons got rid of that odd and awkward pacing and writing issue that the fourth season had.
Also... (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 3, 5, & 6)
Not me crying while Viren sacrificed himself to cast the cinder heart spell. Damn-
Not me also crying during Aaravos' flashback with his daughter, oh my god. They really had to have him tell her to 'close her eyes', didn't they? (Also, I'm not the only one who suspects Leola had autism, right?)
I also didn't expect how much blood was in these two seasons. WOW. What age is this series geared towards again? TV-Y7? First Viren gets stabbed in the chest in season 3, now there's a bunch of blood spread in a ritualistic rite for dark magic? Yikes! (Also, in season 3, Soren stabbed Viren in the heart, right? Now Soren has Viren perform dark magic that requires a rune in his heart. Coincidence? I don't think so.)
Oh, but I love this series. I cannot believe that they actually got me to care about Viren, though.
I also gotta say, I love that none of my theories end up being right. I have so many every season, and then the story just keeps taking a left turn to somewhere completely different.
Anyway, now I'm just gonna sit in a box like a cat and wait for the next season.
it’s weird to think how many mental disorders are diagnosed less by what the person actually does and more by how others respond to that person. like how in hysterionic personality disorder (off to a great start) a literal diagnostic criteria is the person’s emotions don’t seem convincing, which is obviously going to depend hugely upon a doctor’s personal bias. and in bpd, though it isn’t a criteria, you hear about clinicians diagnosing people based on the “meat grinder sensation” (feeling like their own insides are being ground up while talking to their patient), and with autism based on the “wall of glass phenomenon” (feeling like there is a barrier in reaching the person). they’re such weird ways to talk about people especially when the clinician’s own biases are rarely taken into account.
About character bingo, Loki and Bucky?
I'm going to assume this is MCU Loki and Bucky we're talking about, but feel free to send another ask if you have another version of them in mind.
"I'll write a small word vomit thing about them." *Proceeds to write four paragraphs.*
Bucky showed up in the MCU first, so he's first here, too. Bucky Buchanan Barnes, huh? I'll admit, in the first Captain America movie, I didn't really have much in way of opinion about him. I was in the 'they sure do exist' camp. Didn't give him much thought.
That did change, however, when he returned as the Winter Soldier. He was terrifying in Civil war, ngl. But I also thought he was kinda cool. After that, sitting on the movies for a while and rewatching them a few times, I grew a far stronger appreciation for the character. (Which was probably due to how young I was when I watched the movies initially, but let's ignore that-) Which makes the awful way the fandom and current writers treat and mischaracterize him even worse, tbh. But we're not talking about that right now-
Unrelated: Bucky gives me gender envy like mad. (I'm Boyflux, btw.)
I want to wrap him in a big fuzzy blanket and give him a hot cocoa, dude deserves some rest and tlc.
Comparing how I feel about Bucky to Loki is super unfair... to Bucky. Though honestly, it would be unfair to all Marvel characters, since Loki is my favorite. (*Insert people rolling their eyes because me liking a character that's 'popular' makes me annoying/cringe, apparently.*)
Fun fact: Loki is actually one of the first Marvel characters I was ever introduced to. Though, granted, it wasn't MCU Loki. I'm constantly rotating them in my mind like Banana.mp4 (Rotat e). I can also relate to them on a scarily close level. Like jeez, my older sibling was kicked out right before I learned about my bloody heritage from my father, too, da fuq?
Loki in the MCU is probably the most mis-characterized, and the most unabashedly hated and poorly handled character by the writers in the later phases. Which sucks, because his attempts to prove himself and feeling unworthy are exactly what made them so interesting. But it seems the writers like to mis-characterize him as being arrogant and self-centred, when they're actually the opposite in every movie before Ragnarok. *sigh*
He deserves a break, too, tbh. They both need some tlc stat.
...Y'know, they really missed an opportunity by never letting these two meet. But then again, the MCU has/had a problem with casual interactions. (I mean, Thor and Natasha barely interacted in any of the movies despite being on the same team.)
Lol I've just met a person who said that "yes, Loki was mind controlled, but he hurt Clint so he's responsible, but Clint is not responsible because he was mind controlled and that was traumatic for him."
It just gets better with every day of existing in this fandom.
You know... it's funny that the movie that has a more accurate wolverine costume ends up being the most box office breaking, huh?
It's almost like... I don't know, maybe you should have people who actually know the original source material working on movies involving comic characters? Unlike some people I know?
