This Is Cool And All, But I Want To Add My Perspective On Knowing Why You SHOULDN'T Stck Stones Like

im a male director. im so smart. and bold and edgy. look at my movie where my female lead is a prostitute. sorry, sex worker. because having sex with men for money is work. sex work is WORK just like any job… but its also super luxurious and cool and a little sexy. look how sexy this prostitute - sorry, i mean escort, i mean sex worker is. isnt she so hot and sexy? this is a job for sexy hot women. hot, legal, middle class women who are sooo cool and soooo empowered, theyre are the real face of sex work. which is work, and just like any other job. no trafficking or exploitation of poor women or underage girls here. because its a JOB. a luxurious sexy job like any other, its WORK and a LEGITIMATE JOB and - what do you mean, OSHA regulations and PPE?

got tagged by @supervillainarchaeologist so now its time to show my fic preferences >:)

bold those that apply:

slow burn or love at first sight • fake dating or secret dating • enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers • there was only one bed or long distance correspondence • hurt/comfort or amnesia • mutual pining or domestic bliss • canon-compliant or fix-it • smut or fluff • angst or crack • redemption or dark fic • reincarnation or character death • one-shot or multi-chapter • arranged marriage or accidental marriage • college romance or middle age romance • time travel or isolated together • neighbors or roommates • oh no they’re hot or monster s.o. • fantasy au or sci-fi au • apocalyptic au or modern au • historical au or isekai fic

btw, most of the romance ones i would honestly switch out for more found family/parental/platonic tropes bc im an aroace toddler that doesn't understand romance :(

thats it for me! i dont really have many mutuals lol so everyone i could tag has probably already done it

uh oh! one of your organs has mysteriously vanished! Spin this wheel to find out which one!

i totally agree with you guys on this. don't like it? don't read it. this is as someone who goes between the tags because sometimes it's the only loki content i can really get, especially when it comes to new fanart. but i still love to be in the critical tags as well, because no matter how much i love loki in the fandom space, seeing him be butchered so badly still hurts, and the meta on this side is, in my opinion, far better than the other side of the community.

you (anon) can also be intersectional. you can be dialectical in the content you consume because the media that exists will never 100% match what you want it to be. yes, loki (the series) is good, as far as marvel shows go. but it could have been great. it could have taken a deep dive into loki's character, answered questions without explicit answers in the mcu.

can i be disappointed that the degredation of loki's character is connected to tom? absolutely. but what i am not willing to do is to throw him under the bus, because he is not the sole creator in this, and he is just one of up to a hundred people that are to blame for how loki's characterization, some of which are from long before the loki series in thor: ragnarok, infintiy war, and endgame. they set the building blocks for loki's mischaracterization, which is why so many people in the community didn't realize that the character had really been manipulated into something he isn't.

criticism is not inherently disrespectful. as a community, the people who are anti-loki series or critical of the loki series can still have respect for tom. i sure do.

I really hate the anti-Loki series blogs on here. You don’t like it? Ok cool, why make it everyone else’s problem and disrespect Tom as a person? You’re no fan of Tom, you don’t deeply respect him if you act like that.

Then why look at said blogs, anon? No, really, tell me I'm curious. I'm not going to anybody's inbox, unlike some fans, even if I deeply dislike what they enjoy.

I don't think critiquing an actor's work is disrespectful to said actor. You don't even know whether what Tom's saying under Disney's contracts are his real opinions, he is paid to promote the content. Neither you or I know him.

I'm sorry for you if you equate blind praise to being someone's fan. That is not how people interact with media and its creators. You can support someone and still be critical of their work as long as you are not crossing any boundaries of said actor and doing so without attacking them. And yes, I am not a fan of his new releases, that's no secret.

spin the wheel for a genre!

Sanctuary and Loki's "adoption"

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before now, but… Odin said he found Loki in the temple in Jotunheimr. Of course that didn’t fit very well with his claim of Loki being abandoned there, buutt…

What if the Jotun had some concept like the old Christian “Sanctuary”, in which holy places were refuges where even the bitterest enemy could not touch you or force you out? (Not without risking their soul, as the lore had it.) Even when babies were abandoned to sanctuary it was specifically so they would not die, so that they would be kept safe until a home was found for them.

If that’s the case, then the explanation for Loki being there could have been totally different from what Odin claimed: he could have been put there in hopes of keeping him safe. In the midst of an attack by bitter foes like the Aesir such a move would make perfect sense, the only flaw being the assumption that the Aesir would know and respect the sanctuary.

If that was true, then the best case scenario for Odin is that he found baby Loki and just didn’t know Jotun custom enough to understand why the infant was there. It would show a woeful lack of knowledge of their enemies’ customs, but sadly it’s not very farfetched that he might be so ignorant of their culture, considering the blatant contempt many Asgardians exhibited toward frost giants.

Unfortunately it’s more likely he did know (witness the fact that he knew whose child Loki was) and simply took the child anyway.

So if the Jotun rules are anything like the old church rules - which they’d pretty well have to be just to make the sanctuary concept work - then going in the temple and taking Loki out of it was one of the vilest things Odin could do. Even on the scale of war crimes it would be, well, monstrous.

Yet we’re supposed to believe that Loki is the monster in the House of Odin?

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense

#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
