   That entire scene involving Loki’s clothes being lasered off in the Loki show made me very uncomfortable when I first watched it.

   I mean, maybe I’m just sensitive, but, I’m sorry- fanservice-y bullshit like that is just really creepy imo. (I mean, it’s why I don’t watch most modern anime.) Mostly because it’s usually far from consensual, especially in this case.

   I mean, maybe if he decided to react a bit coyly to it, or something else, it would’ve been fine. (More so comedic and lightened the mood a lot more. Even then it still would’ve been weird and on top of that, ooc.) but with how he reacts to it in the actual show, it just felt wrong.

   In the few seconds you got his reaction, that tremble in his voice especially, it just made it feel gross. Like I personally was intruding on his boundaries.

   This coming from someone who’s attracted to him btw, so obviously, the target demographic for said moment. Yet I still found that it was wildly uncomfortable. 

   I dunno, I just wanted to put this opinion out there because I didn’t see a lot of people mentioning this when they talk about how bad the show was. Honestly, this moment was one of the biggest red flags for me.

Thought dump now that I've watched Hazbin Hotel. (Major Spoilers)

I watched the first season of Hazbin Hotel and gave myself a few days to let it simmer in my head, and now I have thoughts.

(Note: I don't count anything Vivs has said on podcasts and livestreams as being canon, only what shows up in Hazbin/Helluva is canon to me, so please don't try to 'gotcha' me with anything from a ten-year-old livestream or something, lol.)

The opening scene mentioned that Adam and Lilith were equals and that Lilith left after Adam tried and failed to control her, right?

Well, as someone who was raised Christian, I'm assuming that might be a misdirect, given the bible's version of those events actually meshes a bit better with the vibes I'm getting from the story so far.

You see, in the bible, it's actually mentioned that god created Lilith to serve Adam, not that they were made as equals. God created Adam first, then Adam grew lonely and god created Lilith to be subservient to him. However, Lilith proved too independent and was replaced by Eve - who was literally 'made' more subservient due to being created through one of Adam's rib bones. (Side note: Adam eating ribs in the show is hilarious.) After Eve's creation, Lilith was basically kicked out of paradise and became a demon.

Now, I'm not saying that the story will/should make it exactly that, or that I expect it to be 'more accurate'. What I am saying is, I think at some point, we might end up getting a 'hey, god's a douche actually and enabled Adam like an entitled child and that's why he's such an asshole' angle to the story.

I think this fits mainly because there seems to be a 'heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be' vibe, as well as the fact that from what I've seen, the older testaments are the versions Viv is using mainly for inspiration and the older testaments, if you know anything about them, tend not to characterize god as being the most... 'merciful' sometimes. (Turning people into salt pillars, drowning the entire world, asking Abraham to sacrifice his son on a mountaintop, etc.)

With that in mind, I also feel like Adam's probably gonna come back. Not as an Angel, but as a demon. At the end of the last episode, we saw Sir Pentious return to life redeemed and in heaven, so it only makes sense in my mind that if it works one way, it must work the other way around, too.

I feel like it'd be a pretty cool plotline if Adam got pulled into Charlie's Hazbin Hotel to try getting redeemed only to end up actually becoming a better person through it. With Adam's redemption becoming a way for Charlie to prove she was right definitively to heaven and maybe having a narrative timer since Adam technically counts as a sinner and would likely be targeted by the exterminators, who would have no reason to believe this 'sinner' claiming to be Adam was actually the real Adam.

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is ‘Lego Marvel’s Maximum overload’.

It’s so stupid, I love it so much.

There are so many scenes I could point to, so many lines, so many moments that are just so ridiculous, even by Lego standards, that... you should just watch it, honestly.

The full movie is free on YouTube right now, please. It’s also less than a half an hour long.

It’s ridiculous, and also, I believe, based somewhat on the Ultimate Spiderman TV show. (Which gives it extra points in my book.)

If you do end up watching it because of me, please comment on this post or reblog with your thoughts. I’m so curious as to what other people think of it, lol.

I’m also going to end this off by pointing out that Lego!Loki shares Lego!Doc Oc’s hairstyle.

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

MCU keep Loki out of stuff unless you can treat him properly challenge

“He has a punchable face” better hope he dodges so you don’t break your hands 🙃

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.)

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.

Watch him roll.

I reserve the right to headcanon that marijuana isn't that uncommon in Asgard and nobody can take that away from me. (I also feel like they'd be more partial to eating or drinking it rather than smoking it, but that's just me.)

I mean, with how liberal they seem to be with alcohol, I genuinely don't see how they wouldn't at least try other substances.

Not like that would necessarily even be a result of mortal influence from their visits to Midgard, either. They'd probably discover that kind of thing and enjoy it just on their own merit.

Random thoughts - Marvel's Jotuns and Cannibalism

You know... I just realized something while rewatching Earth's mightiest heroes.

The jotuns in that show clearly try to eat people, right?

Do you think- ...do you think Loki ever gets cannibalistic urges because of that?

I mean, Loki is a jotun, right? Or half-jotun in some universes (The universes where he's Thor's half-brother, for instance). So since Jotuns seem to have that same instinct to prey on humans and Asgardians like in the original mythology, it only stands to reason Loki would, too, right?

Obviously, this wouldn't apply to MCU Loki, because it pretty much does everything it can to characterize them as basically just 'taller icy Asgardians with blue skin'. (Or maybe it does apply, who knows, we didn't get that much world building with the nine realms in the MCU universe before phase four ruined everything.)

But for universes like Earth's mightiest, where it's blatant that they eat people?

I mean, I obviously haven't read all of the comics, so maybe something in a comic I haven't read yet disproves that, but from what I'm currently aware of? It's not impossible.
