(smoking a cigarette) the average american is afraid of what is new and what is foreign, and especially of what is adult. they are trapped forever in daycares of their own design, reading books and watching shows made for children. And while there are interesting things made for children, by and large, they tend to stick to inoffensive, intensely juvenile things that won't challenge them much. And worst of all, if you suggest to your Average American that they should try to step outside of their narrow box, especially if they're trying to become artists, animators, film makers, novelists, etc, everyone acts as if you've just bombed the daycare. Wow.

I love the reactions of Asgardians in Ragnarok after they find out it's Loki pretending to be Odin. They didn't seem surprised as Loki was the son of the king, so him being the king of Asgard is not something odd. Also when Loki came back to rescue them, he asked them if they missed him or not with a smile. The average Asgardians obviously respected him as the prince. It's just those stupid friends of Thor who somehow got the audacity to mock Loki.

[therese-lokidottir]

Here's the thing, I don't think the rest Asgard cared that much Odin was replaced by Loki. People where initially shocked, but no one seemed scared or upset. The guards reacted more to Thor threatening Loki then when Loke revealed himself as an imposter.

[ether-here-or-there]

Loki invested in the arts and what orders he did do off the top of my head were

Pardoning the warriors and Sif for treason helping Thor out

Letting Thor have a life on Earth (after saying he was proud of him while pretending to be Odin)

Sent Sif to help deal with Asgardian and alien threats to Earth

Separate the Infinity Stones that were in Asgards possession by moving the Aether to the Collector instead of putting it in a vault with the Tesseract like an idiot Odin would do

Bring Asgardian forces back to Asgard, wearing the defenses of other Realms but bringing soldiers home indefinitely and upping Asgards defenses (Asgardians had to like that, everyone else less so)

Honestly Loki was doing great in the short time he had and only had the let down for the other Realms of taking away their protective force, but Asgard itself had to have loved having their friends and family back, the new productions, and whatever rebuilding efforts Loki focused on in the aftermath of the Dark Elf attack to infrastructure. Even cleaned up his own personal messes, including the ones to the detriment of earth, since the Asgardians that escaped were from the prison break and they left through the weakpoints he apparently pointed out for realm travel. (I think, I may be misremembering or making up a line about the realm travel being bc of his knowledge?? Idk man)

But yeah, Loki did great for Asgard as a king.

Yeah, all of that, also, thank you for giving me more evidence to back up my "the guards were actually on Loki's side since T1" headcanon.

We write for ourselves, but we post for others.

(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)

So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,

and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing

but i also think:

“i write for myself, but i post for others.”

because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.

people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,

and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:

“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”

especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,

and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.

And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

and then it’s like,

does anyone see me? does anyone even care?

[sassycurse]

one of the best feelings tbh
