I Really Love This. It Looks Like He Is In The Middle Of Shifting From One Shape To The Other. Its Also

I really love this. It looks like he is in the middle of shifting from one shape to the other. It’s also rather casually done and not as it it bothers him.

We need more fanart of Loki being comfortable in his skin(s).

Another digital painting by me/ @manip-loki I still haven’t made a choice on where to put original art. For now they are all going in here.  Also I haven’t figured out how to use my tablet pen, so all of these have been done with my mouse. 

Oh God, me too.

Sadly, most fans just focus on the shipping and their OTP beyond anything else, even the plot. It's why I don't engage much with the fandom; that would raise my blood pressure too much to be healthy.

The annoying thing is, that you see this with every show/movie/book series. Fans get super invested in romantic relationships, despite the medium they are reading/watching not being focused on romance.

And then they end up hating the thing they used to love only because it didn’t give them the happy couple they had hoped for.

Maybe it’s part of being aromantic that prevents me from understanding that mindset but I can tell you that, from the outside, it can get pretty frustrating.

Why does everything have to be about shipping? That’s what fanfiction is for.

Marvel writers don’t have to fulfill your romantic fantasies.

I wish people could look at the show beyond shipping

Seriously, I’m not even American but I was so damn happy when I saw those numbers.

Finally, something good has happened in this horrible year!

Oh come on, Loki wouldn’t be scared at the sight of a dragon. He’d be petting Drogon and telling him what a good strong boy he is. 

I bet he could even teach Dany some things about dragons because, unlike her, he’d had the chance to study them. Actually, that would be a fun AU.

Ach, dear plot bunnies, don’t give me ideas; I’m already too far behind in my writing.  : )

If these two met:

Everyone agrees that aaaaaa

I agree with this so much. This “defining themselves by what they love” also explains these ugly divides in fandom. Some fans see their favourite character as a friend or a family member whom they have to defend against all criticisms, even by other characters.

Which leads to “Team A” vs. “Team B” mentality and to character bashing. Which always makes me sad, because I don’t wanna be on a team; I’d much rather be part of a community. We should all be able to enjoy what we love, together.

Especially in these bleak times we need empathy and compassion and not more walls to keep us apart. I genuinely love the MCU fandom but I wish that Civil War had not made us less civil toward one another.

In the words of the wise king T’Challa “we must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.”
