Why, oh why is he so handsome?
Many thanks to my beta and inspiration for this story, Dr Loki Pants, aka deliciouswhispers. You’re an evil genius. No real smut in this chapter, but chapter 2 will deliver the goods :) OFC...
I paused for a moment to gather my thoughts while I worked my hair into a ponytail. Grabbing my bucket in one hand, I used my hip to push the door open as I turned my key. Hanging up my jacket and smoothing down my top, I gave myself the once-over in the foyer....
EXCELLENT new smut for anyone into the thought of Tom wearing those semi-stolen Loki pants around his flat! Can't wait for Part Two wellirving!
"Pants" is paaaaaaaaants!
wellirving, In light of this STUNNING revelation (not kidding or over-exaggerating), I would just like to remind the world exactly what we’re talking about here:
It’s THIS guy’s pants we’re talking. Not Thor-Loki, not TTDW-Loki, AVENGERS-Loki. Who has the best costume out of the three because of…
…those GOD DAMNED STRAPPY STRAPS. You know what they do to me. Also, look how those straps rest upon that beautifully leathered-up thigh. If I look at this one too long today I won’t be able to leave the house today. I have to leave the house today.
Look, here’s Action Tom walking around in his Loki pants in natural lighting. You can see the detailing on the inside of the left thigh as well as the boots in all their glorious purpose. Plus, check out the texture on the exterior of the lower half of his jacket. And how that tunic drapes over the left thigh….. WAIT, this is supposed to be about the pants. That he STOLE. THAT ARE LIKELY IN HIS CLOSET AS WE SPEAK. *ahem* Moving on….
Guess what we never get to see? The Loki costume from a ¾ turn rear view. The metal grommet work on the outside of the thigh ALONE makes me want to do bad things. A rear shot of those boots! The detailing on all edges of the jacket….. FUCK – pants, focus on the pants!
Peek-a-boo! It’s the OTHER leg from a side shot. Good to know they’re identical (they didn’t have to be). I included this shot for the conformation. ALSO FOR REASONS. And to call attention to the gold leather insert on the jacket. And how the fabric on the biceps match the overlap pattern of the leather on his tunic/chest plate. The detail work of the forearm armor…..I bet those are cold if they’re pressed to one’s bare flesh….. FOCUS, DAMNIT!
Now we come full circle and see those pants, from mostly the front, in a real-life scenario (you know how this kills me). Now we know that the grommet work on the lower right side of his tunic matches the outside of both pant legs. Look how soft and pliant that leather looks. AND WAIT, are we seeing a little peep-show that involves both inner thighs and a bit of the crotch…? And that smile AND THOSE HANDS. You know I can go on and on and on about that jacket, tunic, and breastplate (ohhhhhh that breastplate) but I’ll leave it all here for your perusal.
Just know, that when this shot was initially shared, these pants deserved, no NEEDED to be deconstructed more than they were. This photo does bring to the table that the leather pattern below the knee matches both the fabric work on the jacket bicep as well as the pattern on the torso/low chest of the tunic.
THIS COSTUME DESIGNER WAS A FUCKING POET, LEATHER IS HIS/HER MEDIUM, AND TOM HIDDLESTON WAS THEIR MUSE.
I just included this one because he’s touching his own leather and calling attention to the slightness of his waist. Just gratuitous hotness. Sorry, not sorry.
P-to-the-S, I think this post is far more deserving than Meh-g’s Doctorate. I know it’s sure as fuck more useful….
Aaaaahh, liquid latex, how I've not missed you.
The latex is an ugly opaque white/beige color when wet, and becomes a vomit-colored pale orange as it dries. The real kicker is that when you add pigment in the wet latex, it barely shows, and you have to wait until the shit dries to see the final result. It's essentially like playing latex coloring roulette and hoping you get the color you want in the final piece two days later.
All I know is that I better get the right latex/paint combination ASAP, because I have to make about 380 little armor scales out of the stuff (and then glue them all to my Loki pants) within the next 20 days.
Why do I do this to myself.
I should probably get cracking on making a mold for them also.
If this works, I'll do a tutorial or something.
naxiu5 replied to your photo “Six brave solo cups lost their lives for the good of this project, but...”
Will there be a tutorial? XD
Why yes! I can make up a tutorial right now!
Step 1: Cut the shape out of craft foam. Punch holes in the corners with a leather punch. I made four identical shapes so that my mold can cast four pieces at a time.
Step 2: Paint those sons of bitches with nail polish so the silicone rubber doesn't soak into the craft foam.
Step 3: Buy a silicone rubber mold-making kit and follow the instructions. Watch some youtube videos for tips. I'm not going to get into all this shit here because I'm lazy and other people who are better at it can do all the work telling y'all how to make silicone molds.
Step 4: Fill that mold with quick-set casting resin.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 about a hundred times until you have enough stupid little tiles to cover your Loki pants.
Hypothetical next steps that I haven't yet attempted, but I'm sure this is where it's going to go:
Step 6: Wait until there's not a pile of snow on your balcony so you can paint your tiles.
Step 7: Attach to pants.
Step 8: Fill in holes with fabric puff paint to simulate rivets.
TA-DA! Loki pants.
