[ID: Sketch in greyscale and gold of Loki in his Ragnarok armour and a cut on his left eyebrow. The Grandmaster’s arm is visible, his hand tilting Loki’s chin towards him. There are gold Sakaarian style markings on his neck and face, and his eyes are shut, an expression of discontented surrender on his features. End ID] -

Whumptober Day 22: Possession

The Grandmaster resurrects Loki immediately after the Thanos incident and decided to make it clear who he now belongs to

[eatscookiedoughasreligion]

Loki: (tied up in Vlakyires room on Sakaar) Surpriseeeee!

Thor: (not surprised) what did you do this time?

Loki: how do you know I did something

Valkyrie: he used magic to make me remember my past

Loki: you wouldn’t listen to me

Valkyrie: you were going to capture Thor!

Loki: And I was going to help him escape this dumpster!

Valkyrie: You tried to kill me!

Loki: after you tried to beat me up!

Bruce: (raising one eyebrow)

Thor: …

Bruce:…

Thor: (whispering to Bruce) who do you think is lying

Bruce: (whispering back) I don’t think either of them is lying…

Cassandra owning The Void has the same energy as the Grandmaster owning Sakaar, just less Jeff Goldblum, and more non-binary

Marvel Multiverse/Time Travel theory: Sakaar

“Time works differently on Sakaar,” — Grandmaster.

Loki fell off the Bifrost only a few seconds before Thor, but he arrived weeks earlier. We also know people age differently on Sakaar. (“On any other planet I’d be like a thousand years old. But here on Sakaar…”)

Of course Sakaar is surrounded by intergalactic gateways, BUT WHAT IF some of those gateways are also interdimensional… or multiversal… A portal to a different universe(s) could affect the function of time, considering how time travel is a means of travelling the multiverse in the MCU. Perhaps Sakaar is the place for all lost and unloved things… from across the multiverse.

We only really explored a couple gateways, but there were SO MANY. And the garbage heaps do remind me of the random shit washed up at the Void at the end of time in Loki.

Which leaves us with SO MANY FANFIC OPPORTUNITIES. When is the Scarlet Witch going to try to take over the place? When are the guardians of the galaxy gonna steal some shit from another universe that got dumped there? When is a portal going to open right over the edge of Vormir so that when Natasha jumps she lands safely on Sakaar instead of dying? I mean what. No, this is a solid theory, ok, this isn’t just me grasping at straws to bring Natty back.

Ok but a fanfic where the time heist goes “wrong” and by wrong we mean right because Nat lives where Natasha, Clint, Rhodey, and Nebula’s ship crashes on Sakaar instead of making it to 2014, and then they’re there at the same time as Bruce and Thor in Ragnarok would be sick and I’m totally going to write that-

GUYS OH MY GOD WHAT IF WANDA ENDED UP ON SAKAAR AT THE END OF M.o.M!?!?!?!?!? OH MY GODDDDDDDDD WHEHXUEJXHSHSHEHHFJEJEISJEJXJFJAJAUFIXKSNXJAJSJFJF-

I’m normal. I’m so neurotypical.

Yes. I’m plotting this fic. I’m gonna do it.

Sakaar AU - Tony's arm gets chopped off in battle -- so Steve fits him with a prosthetic that's powered by his reactor. But -- it's kinda heavy and uncomfortable, so Steve tries to alleviate it with shoulder rubs. It works. Sometimes.

I have gotten to the point with mainstream American comics where I only really care about niche settings/characters that show up for a miniseries like once a decade and then disappear back into the ether until an author remembers they exist for some passion project or something.

Some of these are admittedly less niche than others, but, yeah

From DC:

Amethyst, the Princess of Gemworld

showing up in a random issue of Green Lantern next month, and previously in a random issue of Superman last year and a Christmas story with Harley in 2023. She was part of Young Justice in 2019 and even had her own solo miniseries and graphic novel, but just faded away for whatever reason.

the Tangent Universe

Currently showing up in a the Green Lantern Dark miniseries, which is being advertised as an Elseworlds story for some reason, and is over halfway done.

Most recent appearance prior to that was the Tangent Flash being a major character in the year and change long War World storyline in Superman in 2021/22

the New 52 version of Earth 2

Fuck knows when this lot are showing up again. Last appearance was Earth 2 Superman (Val Zod) and Red Tornado (Lois Lane) getting a side plot that was carried out over the course of two issues of Jon Kent in 2022, a Beast World event side issue in 2023, and then 2024's Black Power special.

Shade, the Changing Man/Girl/Woman

Currently getting backup stories in two issues of DC vs Vampires: World War V issues 10 & 11. Their first appearance since the last issue of Shade the Changing Woman in 2018, unless you count COPRA over at Image featuring a not-Shade-for-legal-reasons version of Rac as part of the title's totally not the Suicide Squad, but that just wrapped up its final issue this month, so...

Batwoman

Most recently a supporting character in Question: All Along the Watchtower, and I expect she'll show up in small roles in Justice League Unlimited and Batman here and there, but her last focus title where she was a main character was 2023's Outsiders where she was badly written and the series got cancelled early for being a bit of a mess. Prior to that it's been one-off pride stories here and there for the last few years or supporting roles in other peoples' books.

From Marvel:

the New Universe

They actually just announced this last week that the original Starbrand will be a major character in September's new Battleworld miniseries, so that's neat.

Prior to that, Hickman had integrated a lot of the New Universe stuff into the main Marvel U in his Avengers run back in 2013 and the characters stuck around through 2016 or so before fading into obscurity again, afaik. I'm admittedly not as up to date on my info with this one, embarrassingly, so if I'm wrong please tell me so I can go hunt down some new books.

Planet Hulk

Currently featuring in the ongoing Imperial event from Hickman. First issue was a blast, very happy with it.

Prior to that was the Worldbreaker miniseries from Pak in 2022 that was only 5 issue but really wanted to be 12 and just ended up abruptly ending in an unsatisfying manner. Prior to that, characters popped up in 2021 and 2018, but the last appearance of the world itself was 2017's Return to Planet Hulk, acting as a soft-tie in to Thor Ragnarok.

2099

Man, where the fuck is Miguel lol. Has been getting semi-regularly miniseries from Steve Orlando at a rate of one or year or so, and 2099 is a major locale in Marvel Rivals, and of course Miguel was in Spider-Verse in a major way. So I'm not actually too worried about this setting and characters getting put back in the box, but with Peter David's recent passing, I wouldn't be surprised if they rest them out of respect for a bit.

Angela

Gods only know what she's up to. Still mad about them randomly writing out her trans wife in 2018/19's Asgardians of the Galaxy title, and since then Angela herself has only popped up as a supporting character in Thor stories, and even then rather infrequently. Afaik, last time she was around was over a year ago in Immortal Thor. I wonder if she's quietly been set aside because of her association with Neil Gaimen and recent events.

Spiral

Mojo's sometimes henchwoman. She basically never gets her own series, and any time she does manage to get extended regular appearances and actual character development, it all gets thrown in the bin the next time she gets used because authors don't give a fuck enough to know she's a real character who's moved beyond being Mojo's enforcer in the past 20 years.

Appears once a year or so, if I'm lucky. Last focus storyline was 2019's Mr & Mrs X where she fixed Rogue's powers for her, and before that was 2013's Uncanny X-Force volume 2.

From Dark Horse:

Ghost

MIA since February 2014. Not got much hope for more of her lol.
