meme party!
Mm. I am a bit down today, so I would like to perform AN EXPERIMENT to see if anyone actually uses Dreamwidth to respond to memes these days. (Deep in my soul I hate the tumblr migration, not least how much I have accepted the tumblr migration, because there is no proper way to have discussions or do community over there, blah blah usual lament.) So yes! I would like to resurrect an old meme, because this one is lots of fun.
1. Comment with any character you know I've written.
2. Receive three bits of trivia about their sexuality: practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, etc.
3. Profit!
(If no one asks me Avengers I will look at y'all very sternly, but really everything is up for grabs!)

Hm, well, if we're talking Avengers, then Thor! :D
no subject
1. Thor is extremely considerate in bed! His first concern is making sure his partner is having a good time -- this started out as his teenage terror that if he wasn't an excellent lover immediately then the whole court would gossip about it, and when consideration for his partner produced positive results he turned it into a habit.
2. He's also extremely careful who he takes to bed; he doesn't have the best track record of making good princely decisions, but he is entirely clear on the fact that bad things might result from sleeping with the wrong person.
3. The initial teenage fumbling, incidentally, was probably with Sif, because they were both young and curious, they were already friends, and Thor knew that Sif would rather fall on her own sword than tell anyone they'd slept together.
(I want to have more! About, like, how Thor doesn't get modern Midgardian modes of sexuality, except I'm not sure quite how they differ from Asgardian ones! And how poly isn't weird for him, but
again this involves figuring out Asgardian social norms! Blargle.)

Hmmm. Darren Nichols!
no subject
1. He was madly in love with Geoffrey in university! They were wacky and bizarre together! Geoffrey was tragically straight and that made him even more appealing to Darren, because Darren was, at that stage, all about tragic unrequited love and the torments of fate and &c. Geoffrey was quite put off by this, and Darren likes to pretend that their duel in the quadrangle at midnight was their epic breakup even though they were never dating in the first place.
2. He doesn't believe in petty constructs like gender! (The fact that his entire Romeo and Juliet cast apparently do was endlessly frustrating to him.) Nor does he personally believe in labels, though he grudgingly acknowledges that they may be of some small use to less enlightened people. (I think he's tried to join various GLBT theater-affiliated groups before, but this is about the point where they punch him in the face.)
3. He has several fuckbuddies at various artistic communities in Germany, but he's evolved far beyond the need for a romantic relationship.

Not that tumblr cares, of course.
Anyway, I give you Francesca Vecchio!
no subject
1. Many of her ideas about relationships come from the paperback romance novels she started reading around the age of twelve. She started reading them because she wanted to learn about sex and could already tell that no one at home or school was going to give her good answers; she kept reading them even after she knew better because she still wants to believe that there are guys out there who are like the heroes in those novels.
2. Francesca is really straightforward about it when she's into someone. This is a strategy that has always ended in a nice Saturday evening date until she met Fraser, but she doesn't know exactly what she should be doing instead of being forthright, and because Fraser isn't, it takes her a while to figure out that maybe he's just not into her.
3. Occasionally she's contemplated trying out women instead, since all men seem to be doofuses at best and actually horrible at worst, but she's not actually into women. She has decided to stop waiting for romance novel guy, though.

1. He's attracted to people on a person-by-person basis with very little regard for gender -- he's much older than any remotely modern models of sexuality, after all, and even if he did used to be pickier about the genitals of his partners, he doesn't remember it now.
2. No matter the fashion of the era, though, he's much more likely to engage in romantic or sexual relationships with women, because his taste in men has usually resulted in, for instance, thousand-year reigns of terror. He'd rather go for the option less likely to end in death.
3. In five thousand years, he still hasn't become bored with sex. There have definitely been periods of years when he's been without a partner and been perfectly content, but every new person he's with brings with them the joy of discovery of their own individual habits and likes, and Methos never gets tired of that.

Wibbly Loki
So you were telling me you thought Loki was so much more likable than Thor because the narrative acknowledges his bad actions (paraphrasing you, sorry) but not Thor's?
I've been thinking more about this and I think it's also that the bad Loki does we don't really believe. Or react to, that's a better term. We are told he's killed lots of people, but we don't see the suffering, we don't see the little girl bursting into tears because her daddy's never coming home again. We go, "Ok, he's killed lots of people," and incorporate it into our understanding of the story, but it's not presented in such a way so as to get an emotional reaction. (or is that just me? hmm...)
But when Thor is a jerk to him, or Odin rejects him, or he's having an existential crisis, or one of the other many bad things that happen to him, we really feel it--we see his face go all wibbly and tears well up in his eyes. Because he's a good actor, we really believe, on some level just below the one that knows we're just watching a movie, that we're looking at a human who is very upset. But we never believe that we've just seen a human die when he kills someone.
Does that make sense?
Wait, actually, I'll respond to your post, while I'm here. Do tell me (something I don't know) about Loki's sexual practices.
You know, since I'm on the subject and all.
Re: Wibbly Loki
Trivia about Loki's sexuality forthcoming, but I wanted to give you a comment of flailing approval first. :D
