The Mighty Thor: Little Battles, page 2.
Here is the second page of my own Mighty Thor fancomic, called “Little Battles”. Page 1 can be found here! I tried something new with the letters, and I much prefer this, so I’m actually in the process of re-lettering the first page. I’ll post the both together when that’s completed.
Writing, Art, Colors, and Letters by me. So if there’s something you don’t like about it, you have me to blame! :) But if you love it, then hey, I’ve got 6 more pages slowly in the works. Inspired, of course, by Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman, and Matt Wilson’s phenomenal work. Hoping to work on this to bide my time until November’s The Mighty Thor series launch, which is going to be awesome, I’m sure.
I’ll post the text in case it’s hard to read. Also broke the page down into individual panels for better visibility. Hope you like it!
Panel One, Narration Text from Left to Right: I just need to run a quick errand.
Panel Two: Being Thor takes a lot out of me. That’s why the cancer is getting worse. I need stronger medications, but I can’t ask Prince Odinson to get them for me. I can’t ask any of them- the gods don’t understand mortality. That’s why I have to do this alone.I can’t run the risk of taking the Bifrost without throwing up on the descent. I can do it quicker and cleaner this way.
Panel Three: I get in, I get what I need, I get out. No distractions. No damage.I have to go somewhere they wouldn’t even bat an eyelash to see an Asgardian. I’m going home.
It’s been long enough now that I feel prepared to properly rant about it.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SHOW?
HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST SIGHT OF THE AMAZING RELATIONSHIP YOU SPENT A WHOLE SEASON BUILDING UP? IS THAT WHY YOU’RE PUTTING BOTH ALEX AND CLAIRE WITH NEW LOVE INTERESTS?
You might be wondering why this annoys me so much. Well, let’s say someone has spent several hours making a mouthwatering sweet of your choice, right in front of your face. You’ve been salivating over it, dreaming about it.
And then the chef pulls it out of your reach and gives you a prepackaged candy bar you’re not very fond of. Sure, it might be sweet, but it’s not what you’ve been wanting.
Claire/Alex was my sweet treat. I watched them prove over a full season that they loved each other, that they would do anything to help each other, that they were end game.
Now, Claire has pretty clearly slept with Gates, and Alex and Noma have sucked face in at least two episodes. WHY? I can kind of understand Claire doing this, she has no way of knowing what happened to Alex, and Gates is the only person in Vega who’s interested in Claire as a person, rather than as Lady Riesen, the leader, not to mention her hormones are out of whack from her pregnancy (which the writers seem to conveniently forget whenever they feel like it hinders the plot too much).
Alex and Noma does technically have an excuse too, in that they used to be an item, and that they’ve been going through a lot of trauma together. But I don’t get why the romantic subplots have to be pushed so much. Can’t there ever be healthy m/f relationships that are purely platonic?
In defense of Fosterson/Jane and Thor
’Boring’: Well, if you think loving, caring, gentle and mutual are ‘boring’ then fine. That’s your bag, but in my opinion- it’s so rare to see such a cautious approach to a relationship, especially when there is SO much at stake for both of them. How often to you see a hero like Thor- the quintessential warrior- get to be portrayed as a starry-eyed romantic, who gently touches and strokes and smiles? Very rarely. I am SO glad they didn’t go down the Conan the Barbarian route, this portrayal is so much better and part of the reason I love Thor as a character so much. No chemistry: Subjective much? Both actors (Hemsworth and Portman) are talented actors- we know this and they have a great rapport in interviews. No, they aren’t all over each other, but since when has that stopped people shipping two people together? LOTS of people ship Hawkeye and Coulson, despite the fact they converse ONCE and they aren’t even on screen together! Steve and Tony are in two movies (counting AoU) and they constantly bicker and fight- doesn’t stop Stony being popular. Some people like that sort of thing. Me personally? I don’t think anger and disagreement is a good basis for a relationship (angry sex yes, but a long term loving twosome? Nah mate), but I’m boring. So there you go. Jane and Thor’s chemistry is that of two people who are thrown together and are sure there’s something there, but neither wants to rush in- if their story called for lots of snogging, then it would. Again, they are cautious and well aware of what they stand to lose, but the end of the TDW they are free to pursue the relationship and share a super passionate kiss (they’ve clocked up the most kisses so far BTW). Now I know what you’re about to say- that post-credit scene wasn’t Natalie Portman, that was Elsa Pataky (Chris Hemsworth’s wife) as Jane Foster, so yes the kiss was more passionate because they are being played by a married couple. Different actress, but it’s still the same character. If the problem is with Natalie Portman, I could understand, but I would bet a million dollars that no matter WHO played Jane, fandom would have a problem with it. Proof? THEY DID SHARE A PASSIONATE KISS IN THE TRAILER FOR TDW THAT WAS CUT FROM THE FINAL MOVIE. For reasons that remain a mystery (due to a rather suspicious rumour about them breaking up in an ‘original ending’- a rumour so stupid that even Latino Review won’t touch it. Funny that.). I doubt people would start magically start shipping them if they recast her. Happens way too fast/haven’t known each other long enough: You’re willing to buy magical space Vikings, hammers made in the heart of a sun, a metal suit powered by an arc reactor and Steve Rogers becoming super strong after being baked in a science microwave but… your suspension of disbelief stops at an astrophysicist falling for a god-like alien with access to technology thousands of years beyond Earth (and an interstellar bridge) after a few days? THAT’S where you draw the line? Okay. Right-o. Why does Thor fall so fast? Perhaps he loves Jane’s passion, kindness, brilliance, beauty and fascination with his world in a way he never stopped to appreciate? Again, my opinion. Kenneth Brannagh, in the director’s commentary for Thor said they aren’t in love, but they develop a mutual crush that they both want to explore but can’t. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Gets in the way of Thorki: Hate to break it to you- Thorki will never. Ever. Ever. Happen. Except in fandom- so why throw Jane under a bus to make it happen? Is the studio (owned by DISNEY) who run a multi-million dollar franchise likely to turn round and go ‘You know what’ll make this franchise really popular? Two men raised as brothers dicking each other. Genius.’ Thor is better off with Sif: Depends how you define ‘Better off’. Yeah, they’ll have longer together, have shared experience- but… Thor doesn’t feel that way about her. At least not yet. He has no obligation to reciprocate her feelings. It might happen one day, who knows, but for now he clearly loves Jane and wants to give them a chance. But what about Norse mythology?! I hear you cry- well, what about it? Since when has the MCU cared about being true to the the Poetic Edda? I’ve read it (I would recommend it!) and Thor has three children- only one of them is by Sif. Two are by a Jotun and an unknown woman. Also, Sif has a son (Ullr) by another man who is also not known. Loki is not Thor’s adopted brother- nor has there been any horse-related shenanigans. If Sif is the ‘endgame’ for the MCU, fine, but give Thor and Jane a chance to have a healthy end to their relationship and not treat Sif as a potential rebound. Gross. But in the comics…: Which ones? 616? Currently, he’s not with Sif any more, he’s (SPOILERS) probably with a human SHIELD agent (and environmental scientist) named Roz Solomon. I’ve seen him in relationships with random tavern wenches, a dark elf, Amora, Lorelei and… Jane Foster. And that’s just 616- what about Lord of Asgard when he’s with Amora and has a son with her? Or the Ultimates when his one night stand with Hela results in Modi (it’s a spoiler, but I’ve just saved you having to read that piece of shit so consider yourself lucky). And at one point he’s with Jane Foster in The Ultimates to. And in Thor the Mighty Avenger he’s also with Jane Foster. She’s a different Jane Foster in the various continuities- a nurse, a doctor, a historian- so why can’t you accept her as an astrophysicist? Could it be you don’t buy Jane as a scientist because a conventionally attractive female scientist is ‘unrealistic? Despite the fact that Natalie Portman herself has a science degree and has researched several chemistry papers- yet magic hammers are still more credible? If you can buy space-vikings, but you can’t buy pretty female scientists- you’re probably as sexist as hell. Sorry. Jane’s too whiney/not badass enough/etc: Whiney? Are you HIGH? It’s a super problematic term anyway. She only ‘whines’ when her stuff is stolen by SHIELD. When she is possessed by an Infinity Stone, she is so brave- she faints to the ground and when Thor calls for her she tells him she’s okay- weakly, but bravely. It’s implied she is broken hearted by Thor’s disappearance, but wouldn’t you be? In the span of two movies she drives into a tornado (laughing like a maniac), rescues Thor from a SHIELD facility, helps evacuate a town, builds her own equipment from scratch, in a lab set up in an old garage, bodily defends Thor, holds an Infinity Stone in her body without dying (even Loki seems impressed with how well she’s surviving) slaps two gods in the face, sasses Odin and defeats Malakeith armed with stuff she has put together with duct tape. Nope. No bad-assery there. No sir. To quote Thor: ‘She is strong in ways you can’t imagine.’ She’s no warrior- she’s a scientist. Why is that good enough for Leo Fitz and not Jane Foster? Why is it okay for Tony Stark to be a credible hero using his technological know how and not Jane? Why is Loki given SO much sympathy for being being a magic user instead of a warrior, yet Jane is dismissed for the same thing? Hint- probably sexism. Lifespan difference/Mayfly December: Depressing thing- we will all be separated from our loved ones one day- by death or circumstance. For some it’s sooner than others. Jane and Thor may not have long together, but they clearly want to try. Both of them. It’s implied that Thor would have made Jane his Queen if he wanted to take the throne- but he wanted the chance at a normal life. She would have been part of his life regardless. Will it break his heart to see her die so soon? Absolutely- but he’s doing it anyway. Jane studies stars- she’s used to being a mayfly compared to the rest of the universe, why would her romantic entanglements be any different?
Pairing: Jane Foster/Thor Fandom/Series: Marvel Cinematic Universe Reasons why it’s hated: ’Boring’ No chemistry, Happens way too fast/haven’t known each other long enough, Gets in the way of Thorki, Thor is better off with Sif But in the comics…, Jane’s too whiney/not badass enough/etc, Lifespan difference/Mayfly December
Doctor Who Meme ✖ [1/9] Scenes Sonnet 18
I love the look on Martha’s face.
Because I bet she read that Sonnet when she was in school.
And the realization that that fucking sonnet is going to be about HER RADIANT BLACK BEAUTY!!!
Martha Fucking Jones gets POETRY written for her that lasts through the ages.
YAAASSSS
The Doctor’s faces are killing me!
I actually find this really great because NOBODY KNOWS who “the dark lady” is. There are various sonnets composed for/about her, but nobody knows her identity.
We do.
Martha stole Shakespeare’s heart
I love this episode so, so much.
.....
I love this episode, too. I really do. And I love Martha.
BUT SONNET 18 WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR THE DARK LADY.
Sonnet 18 was part of the Procreation Cycle of the Fair Youth sequence, which makes up Shakespeare’s first 126 sonnets. Again, history is a little fuzzy, but the generally accepted idea is that Shakespeare was commissioned to write sonnets for a nobleman with the initials WH by the guys’ friends as a way of saying ‘get married. have babies. pass on your family line.’
Right around Sonnet 18, Shakespeare started to change his tune, suggesting that the Fair Youth should not get married or have children, because this poetry would make him immortal.
The Dark Lady sequence consists of Sonnets 127–152, which includes ‘my mistress’ eyes,’ which Catherine Tate did a very memorable version of. That sonnet would have made a lot more sense for Martha, especially given its final lines— “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare/as any she belied by false compare.’
And I know I’m nitpicking way too much, but it legitimately bothers me that people always go to Sonnet 18 and link it to the Dark Lady.
This has been your Shakespeare crash course in Sonnet 18.
You were born to privilege, and with that comes specific obligations.

WHO ARE HALF YOU PEOPLE.
i miss your lovely blogging and your lovely self.
Well, anon, I'm touched, but, in all honesty, I'm maintaining several roleplay blogs now, I just... don't have the time for my personal blog anymore.
Also, I am now a college student, which makes things even more auuuuugh.
are you ok? you haven't updated your blog in over a month?
Long story short, I don't really do personal blogging anymore. I just don't have the time for it anymore.
I roleplay instead.
whats your mbti type?
infp
an important factual presentation by me
All the facts.
I am so on board with this except for one thing. The example chosen.
Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian.
She was from the Ptolemy line of kings, descended from Ptolemy I, a general of Alexander the Great, making her lineage Macedonian Greek. Emulating the culture they had conquered and ruled, the Ptolemy line was highly incestuous, so odds are, Cleopatra more likely would have looked Macedonian, with paler skin, green eyes, and maybe even blonde hair.
She probably would have dressed like an Egyptian, and she was the only Pharaoh of the Ptolemy dynasty to actually learn Egyptian, but it is more likely than not that she wasn't a POC.
That being said, we do still need POC in the media. So make a movie about Hapshetsut, or Nefertiti, and make sure they are played by POC. Make a movie about Jesus Christ where he's actually played by a Middle Eastern guy. But pay attention to the history, rather than just assuming that because someone ruled a certain land, they were that nationality.

Cobra Bubbles. SHIELD Agent. The end.
I don’t picture Cobra Bubbles being just any SHIELD Agent. I picture him being Nick Fury before he lost his eye and before he became Director. Cobra Bubbles was his code name while undercover.
Nick Fury’s code name would absolutely be Cobra Bubbles. No one will convince me otherwise.
