IT CAUSED RAGNAROK

Ooh Mr. Loki: A Fan Fiction! Spoilers: not actually a fanfic, just a parody of Kate Beaton's Mr. Darcy comic.

In other news I am fairly sure I don't have a new fandom, despite the fact that, um, I have a Loki icon and a Thor tag and have been trawling tumblr and reaction posts and the kinkmeme. I shouldn't have a Thor tag anyway, I should have a Loki tag. I think Loki lights up the same areas of delight in my brain that Methos does, actually. Obviously Methos and Loki need to hang out, viciously scheming and turning on a dime and sounding entirely reasonable and deep down just wanting to be loved. But I won't write it because it's too ridiculous for words.

Loki is a show stealer ALWAYS. You should read J. Michael Straczynski's run in the comics (it's not long, and you don't need any previous knowledge, I know next to nothing about Thor's marvel mythos but I still got it), Loki's a girl in it (sorta) and he's AWESOME in it. :D

I really liked the movie, it had just the right amount of family love/hate/rivalry/drama with just the right amount of explosions to still mark it as a superhero movie. Not quite Iron Man level, but Marvel's doing right with its own movies.

(now if they could only make movies about the GIRL superheroes...)

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I saw someone, somewhere say that Loki in the movie looks just like Johnny Weir, and now that's what I see whenever I see anyone's Loki icons. :D

Actually, I decided when Methos showed up in Highlander that:

a) Methos was the origin for the Loki stories;

b) the guy who was the basis was an immortal (probably Kronos) who Methos knew;

c) Loki was an Immortal in his own right, and he and Methos were BFFs. Also, Loki knows Amanda. And the three of them have run ridiculous scams together over the centuries and have simply loved it.

Also, since Loki is a god in the Norse pantheon (not one of the Aesir, no, but still bound to the Asgardians), anywhere he IS is Holy Ground. Quite a number of Immortals have discovered this to their dismay.

(I allow for the Holy Ground thing on the grounds that becoming a god in Highlander-verse is like becoming Real in the world of The Velveteen Rabbit--it changes you in fundamental ways, and it doesn't wear off. Once you are worshiped as a god, then you ARE a god, whether your religion is still around or not. There are no provisions for becoming an ex-god...only a forgotten one.)

I'm just going to leave this here.

Um, perhaps this is the time in which I should tell you that I wrote a 2-hour play which is half about Loki's marital drama? (The other half is consumed by economics and bad thermodynamics jokes.) And that I would like to hear your feedback, if you have time? Although my version of Loki's character has more in common with Norse canon-- by which I mean he's still the harbinger of Ragnarok who just wants to be loved, except he has a better sense of humor.
