Loki's Lieutenant @rainefyre - Tumblr Blog

Are you part of Loki's Resistance and don't know it yet?

Basically, this as-yet-tentatively named subset of the Loki fandom or “Loki’s Army” consists of anyone who finds themselves agreeing with one or more of the following points:

Loki’s crimes are not so much worse than those of his brother or father, as regarded as worse because Loki did it;

Both the universe and the meta (writers etc.) are showing blatant favoritism with Loki’s “punishment” compared to similar crimes committed by others;

The punishment in question (a literal lifetime thousands of years long spent in solitary confinement, furniture and books considered “luxuries”) is inhumane by ANY standards, beyond even what we do here, and undeserved even if one does take the position that Loki’s a total monster;

Loki has some legitimate points, and legitimate reasons for being upset, that even his family don’t seem to accept - again, probably because of who they come from;

What Loki needs is rehabilitation, not punishment, OR at least should be offered both instead of being given absolutely zero hope of ever seeing the sky again;

Loki at least deserves a GODDAMN TRIAL in universe;

Loki has been abused meta-wise by writers and directors who have ignored his previous characterization entirely to conform him to a role he is utterly wasted on;

Thor has been abused meta-wise by writers and directors who think it’s time for “something new and fresh” and are willing therefore to scrap one of his most enduring and iconic character traits (not giving up on his brother); OR…

Odin is a dick and has no business sentencing anyone, anywhere, ever, having eluded justice for so long himself.

Note that I said “one or more’; you don’t have to agree with all of these points to be one of Loki’s advocates. But if you do agree with any of these, or have had some of these thoughts yourself, and ESPECIALLY if you agree but have been afraid to say so, thinking it makes you an apologist and/or that people will consider you one of those silly, wimpy fangirls who just “doesn’t understand” the character… then honey, welcome to the Resistance.

Imagine Loki makes friends with Oscar the Grouch, from Sesame Street. At first, they hit it off, then Loki starts finding amusement in annoying him. Booping his nose, ruffling his fur, using magic to tidy his trash can, locking him in it, or turning it upside down, then claiming he didn’t do it.

A Few Tips All Writers Should Remember:

·Write to your comfort level. Meaning: give yourself a break when you need it and push yourself when you’re feeling motivated.

·Seek out sources of motivation. There are very few times when motivation hits me out of nowhere. Read a good book. Watch a good movie. Write down your goals.

·Find your space. Coffee shop. Library. Your room with the music blasting and the TV playing your favorite show. Find whatever gets you in the right headspace.

·Your first draft is just the first draft. Too many writers stress out about the first draft and they forget it’s just the first step in completing your novel. You can add to it, build from it, or toss it away completely.

·You will be rejected. Even if you write the next big hit, you’ll be rejected. Read the reviews for some of your favorite books—I guarantee someone HATED it. Not everyone will like your work, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

·Write advice isn’t for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan for writers. Pick and choose advice that works for you, ignore what doesn’t. Not everything will relate directly to you and your style of writing.

·It’s okay to stay in. Want a night to yourself so you can write? Don’t be afraid to cancel your plans and focus on your writing hobby. You don’t have to feel guilty about wanting to work on your writing.

·Let ideas settle. It’s tempting to jump right in to a new writing idea, but let things settle for a bit. Brainstorm. See what comes next. An idea needs to have legs and it needs to take your story somewhere. Let it grow.

·Outlines aren’t set in stone. Be flexible with your outlines. Plan if you need to, but allow yourself to explore new ideas. Let your story go in an unexpected direction.

be like Thor, be there to support your loved ones,accept who they are and celebrate them

BTW, this is all canon, Loki is canonically genderfluid and is referred to as a “both” or “neither” by others, even Odin:

teacupfulofstarshine

i love one (1) genderfluid norse deity and one (1) support icon

wherearealloftheuseenames

This has the same energy as “act like a lady.” “I’m a guy today” “then act like a gentleman”

hucowgoddess

I think the cutest panel is that Thor apologizes and then reforms the command to stop. But yes. Be like Thor. Just be cool with it. There’s nothing wrong with a person discovering who they are, and sometimes they’ll let you be a part of it. No matter what, Loki knew they still had family to love and accept them for who they are. ^^

Tips to finishing creative writings

Have one main piece and several smaller ones The story you are most eager to write and has some form of a developed plot should be your main story, but don’t limit yourself to only that piece. That’s when you abandon it. Instead, tell yourself, “I have a good idea for another story. Let me write 500-1000 words of it.” This allows you to put what’s in your mind on paper. You can also get a feel for it and see if it is really something you think you could write an entire story for. When you finish your main story, come back to it and make that your new main if you still want to write it.

Use your desire to write another story to finish the one you’re working on Continuing with the point from above, if you are still extremely excited about your small work, use that enthusiasm to fuel your current story. Tell yourself, “I need to finish X story before I can write Y story.” You will write so much more and so much faster than you ever planned. You can also be proud that you finished something you originally planned to abandon.

Love your characters This may seem obvious, but writing is hard if you don’t even know or like your characters. Draw your characters together. Give them funky clothes or send them abroad. Even make an AU of your story in your head. If you can’t draw, find an avatar creator and give your characters a tangible image. The more you love your characters and give them personalities, the more eager you will be to write about those characters.

Take a break Be kind to yourself. You’re only human. If life is stressful and writing is more of a chore than it is fun, take a break. When you have more free time and are excited to write again, sit down, grab a pen, and find yourself happily immersed in a world you haven’t visited in a while. Good luck with your stories and be kind to yourself <3

I hope through this series the amazing character Tom devoted years of his talent cultivating, only to have mocked and disrespected by recent directors, is finally allowed to flourish. Fans hope Loki learns self worth. That he understands he’s always been more than just a tool to achieve peace or big brothers shadow and rises above that. Tom deserves the opportunity to give him better and every Hiddlestoner who adores Loki, would be thrilled to witness it. Yet whatever the storyline, I’ve no doubt Tom will shine as always. (Yo Marvel. Loki has an Army. ⚔️ Play nice. 😉)

Now, About That Sceptre

Based on hair growth, if nothing else, it seems that a fair amount of time must have passed between Loki’s appearance in the post-credits of Thor (2011) and his dramatic entrance via the Tesseract in The Avengers (2012). Despite the apparent time jump, Loki’s physical well-being is still clearly… not great. His appearance has improved in some ways from the horror show above (the burns have healed, his mouth isn’t full of blood), but he shows a number of signs of heat exhaustion, at a minimum (something especially relevant because, remember, Loki’s a Frost Giant). He’s visibly exhausted and disoriented, he nearly collapses on multiple occasions, he’s sweaty and pale with dark and sunken eyes. This is not a healthy man. And while there was maybe an argument to be made for his prior physical distress being contributable to the effects of the wormhole, whatever’s happening here is all Thanos.

Beyond his immediate physical state, he comes across as paranoid, afraid—desperately fighting to get through just this one moment, and then the next, and then the next. If he just holds it together a little bit longer, he’ll be safe. He’ll be able to rest. Watch how he stumbles. Observe his deathgrip on the sceptre and on the truck rail. Look at his desperate facial expression and body language. He’s trembling.

Now we’re getting into psychology, and well… Loki says some odd things throughout this film. The Loki of Thor (2011) was clearly dealing with a mental health crisis, but the Loki of The Avengers (2012) seems—not to put too fine a point on it—crazy. And he’s not just crazy. His words and his body seem to, at times, be in direct conflict with one another. He may talk down to the humans, but he appears to take little pleasure in actually hurting them. And yet he summons an army of aliens with the expressed purpose of doing just that. He’s sassy and grandstanding while facing the Avengers, but on the occasions where he’s violent with civilians, as well as whenever he’s alone, he appears to dissociate from himself. Look at his face. This is not remotely fun for him. He looks dead inside.

Overall, Loki’s body language and facial expressions often betray a Loki who is struggling to justify his actions. He seems, at times, almost as though he is speaking to himself as much as he is taunting the Avengers or humanity. Here are some quotes/scenes that grab my attention.

For a start, there are these exchanges with Fury shortly after he first arrives via the power of the Tesseract:

Fury: “This doesn’t have to get any messier.” Loki: “Of course it does. I’ve come too far for anything else.”

“I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.”

Loki: “I come with glad tidings of a world made free.” Fury: “Free from what?” Loki: “Freedom. Freedom is life’s great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart, you will know peace.”

He goes on to reiterate his bizarre speech about “freedom” again in Stuttgart.

“The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.”

This all sounds a lot like indoctrination to me, and it’s worth noting that the Black Order—for whom Loki is ‘working’ in this movie—is literally a cult. In fact, they use very similar rhetoric at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War. Compare this to Loki’s rhetoric on the nature of freedom:

“Hear me… and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. It is salvation. Universal scales tipped toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile, for even in death you have become Children of Thanos.”

And then there’s Loki’s outburst directed at Natasha after the Avengers have taken him prisoner for the first time and she’s trying to get information out of him:

“You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you and they will never go away!”

Before this moment, he seems relatively calm and in control. Something changes here; he becomes disgusted and aggressive. His words could easily be applied to himself as well. Here Loki is on Midgard, pretending to have his own agenda. “Something that makes up for the horrors”. Yet as much as Loki claims to be free of sentimentality, we as the audience know better. We can see it in his microexpressions and his body language. We know of his being psychically linked to The Other. We see the nature of Loki’s interactions with them: the tears in his eyes, the threats and his attempts to suppress and hide his fear, the pain they’re able to inflict on him with just a touch.

“If you fail, if the Tesseract is kept from us, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he cannot find you. You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain.”

There are also subtle indicators that Loki’s memories might have been tampered with, such as his initial conversation with Thor.

“Our father—” “YOUR father. He did tell you of my true parentage, did he not?” “We were raised together! We played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?” “I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss.”

Yes, of course, it’s possible that this is hyperbole on Loki’s part. Regardless, it’s worth noting as part of a pattern of bizarre, cult-like behaviours that Loki displays throughout the movie. It becomes even more noteworthy in light of the revelation that Loki was being influenced by the mind stone all the while. The specific phrasing Marvel uses is, “fueling his hatred over his brother.” Does that include distorting his perception of what’s happened between them? It’s not conclusive, but it’s certainly possible.

Now, Loki does at times appear to be genuinely enjoying himself. I’m not denying that or sweeping it under the rug. But look at the context. Notice when he seems to be the most amused. It’s when he’s grandstanding. It’s when he’s the center of attention. When people run screaming from him. When he’s being interrogated. It’s not the violence that pleases him; it’s the recognition. For the first time in his life, he’s center stage. He feels powerful. And Loki will always take negative attention over no attention at all.

Simmer down there, you lovable maniac.

At the other end of the spectrum, however, we have moments like just before he stabs Thor, in which he looks at the destruction around him with legitimate panic and horror written on his face. As though he’s awoken from a haze and is only just realising the extent of what he’s done. (Side note: for the life of me, I’ll never understand people who call Loki a psychopath. Every single time we’ve seen Loki hurt Thor, he does it literally with tears in his eyes. And yet Ragnarok would have us believe he’s done so all throughout their childhood just for funsies).

Surely this isn’t the expression of a man who wants all this death and destruction—who’s carrying out his own will. And why should he? Even if he truly meant to/cared about ruling Midgard, there’s little reward in ruling a world of corpses.

Which brings us to our ultimate conclusion. As mentioned above, there have long been theories—now confirmed canon—that Loki was under the influence of the sceptre AKA the mind stone throughout The Avengers (2012). An observation I had missed initially is that some fans desperate to cling to Loki’s identity as a Villain™ have differentiated between the total mind control of Barton and Selvig and the ‘influencing’ of Loki’s behaviour via the sceptre. But note that the same language is used for both instances:

“Gifted with a sceptre that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the sceptre was also influencing him.”

I do believe that the mind control over Loki was less effective; he clearly maintained some measure of autonomy, despite the sceptre’s influence. But I still think it’s important to note the consistency of language used. And in fact, it’s worth noting that his control over Barton and Selvig wasn’t absolute either. Barton admits he may have failed to kill Fury because of his connection to him; Selvig installs a failsafe for shutting down the portal.

We also know—thanks to yet another stupidly discarded deleted scene—that The Other can hear and communicate with Loki at all times. Look at the longing on Loki’s face when Thor tries to reason with him. He wishes so badly that he could accept Thor’s offer. But this is still a hostage situation. He’s on permanent speakerphone, and he knows there’s no safe escape route for him.
