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.

You know what would be great? If you had some fic recs to save the lazy people who are absolutely not just me from trawling through Thor fandom. Wouldn't that be fun?

Because I don't think I have the stomach for weeding through stories about Loki crying into his chai tea. I used to sort of half-heartedly worship Loki (the god, not the comic book character) in my early teens and I don't think I could take it.

I am highly interested in incestuous elephants and lex and old prose and you are the best.
