open letter time!

(I am not actually put out; I am Getting Things Done & mainlining Castle in between, and it is in fact impossible to be disgruntled whilst mainlining Castle.)

Dear Thor fandom,

Loki is not delicate and weepy. Seriously, please stop that. I know he spends most of the film with tears in his eyes and I know that he has a slight build compared to Thor, but this is no excuse. Loki is a calculating manipulative bastard who feels everything and doesn't function well in a culture where "JUST HIT THINGS" is the solution, and that is much, much more interesting than one-note woobiness. Make a note of this, and go rewatch the movie or read some comics or some myths or -- fuck it, DWJ's Eight Days of Luke, I don't care. Just fix this.

Carry on with the Thor/Loki, though, that's pretty awesome.

Sincerely,
Aria

PS -- it's "Warriors Three" not "Warrior's Three," DESTROY YOUR APOSTROPHIES. They are not three people who belong to a warrior, they are three awesome warriors + Sif, who is too cool for this shit anyway. Thank you.

THIS. THIS TIMES TEN BILLION.

Also, thank you for noting that APOSTROPHES DO NOT FORM PLURALS. This is NOT HARD, people!

In some ways that bothers me worse than the Loki thing, because the Loki thing is an issue of complex characterization, but this is BASIC GRAMMAR, GUYS.

Well, I need a beta to catch these things. <.< It's not that I don't know the rules, it's that I'm a terrible typist and a bit. I don't know is dyslexic is correct but if I try to insta-proof myself my brain tends to gloss over with what I thought I typed, not what I actually typed. More than most people, I think. It is very frustrating to me.

This is fair! I probably shouldn't be hard on people typing things up in kink meme comment boxes, anyway. It's just that EVERYONE'S DOING IT. Be less judgy, self.
