This part of a fanfiction of Thorki made me laugh for 20 minutes straight. Why do I feel like I'm Loki 😂😂😂

Not my art! Hey, can any of you recommend me any Thorki +18 fics with Jotun Loki that don’t involve M-preg and are in English or Spanish? I think there are more out there but I can’t find them. Thanks.

WITHOUT SPOILING INFINITY WAR

I would just like to remind everyone that I am writing a Thorki fic that (based on current plot outline) is likely to be longer than the 4th Harry Potter and it has a happy ending for Thor AND Loki and well as beautiful romance.  So feel free to come read it:

I think it’s time for a chat, fandom.

I have made it no secret that I am greatly dissatisfied with many aspects of Thor: Ragnarok, most especially the characterizations of Thor and Loki and the discontinuity with their characterization in earlier movies. Among more extreme Loki fans, including those who (reportedly) used to call themselves “Loki’s Resistance” and are widely known as “Loki-apologists” (I prefer “unconditional Loki-justifiers,” for reasons of precision), people have no trouble saying that they disliked the movie because of the way it thinned out Loki’s character. Loki fans who are in networks with the Loki-justifiers but do not hate Thor (as so many of the justifiers do) also have no trouble pointing out that Ragnarok messed up Thor’s character, virtually disregarding the process of maturation he had gone through in previous MCU movies.

However, it seems that more moderate Loki fans (who do acknowledge his flaws and misdeeds), including but not limited to Thor/Loki shippers, have been feeling pressured into silence about their dissatisfaction with the movie. Four such people have communicated with me about it under their own names, two relatively openly in replies to my posts, two in private messages; a few more have expressed similar sentiments in anonymous asks. I’m kind of concerned that smart, thoughtful people feel like they can’t express their views for fear of being shunned or bombarded with hate. (About a movie, FFS; this isn’t a matter of life and death!)

Maybe this is just a function of the overall climate of Tumblr, which a friend of mine has characterized as just a bunch of young people all agreeing with each other (in my more bitter moments, I’ve used the terms “groupthink” and “circle-jerk”). It seems that around here group identities revolve around people all sharing the same views. Arguments (or firefights, really) can only be had on a hostile footing across group lines; there’s not much of a chance for productive or friendly disagreement within a community. As a philosopher (and a Jew), this strikes me as extremely bizarre and more than a little creepy. I disagree with other philosophers about a lot of things, and we argue, and raise objections to each other’s papers, but we’re still friends, still enjoy many of the same things, still share (largely) the same basic values. There are subcommunities, to be sure, of those who agree about certain issues, but we are still a community, engaged in a common enterprise, in spite of (indeed, driven by!) our disagreements.

What can we do to make the fandom such that people feel comfortable expressing their actual views even if they disagree with the majority of the community, or just (as it may be) with the loudest voices? If the fandom is already open to such disagreement, how can we reassure people that they won’t be ostracized for holding minority/unpopular views?

I hope that some people with more standing in the fandom than I have will take an active part in opening it up to productive disagreement. All these “I thought it was just me” and “everyone’s been telling me I’m crazy” and “I was so relieved to see your post” and “I feel like I should just stfu if my interpretation is different from the main one” messages are making me kind of alarmed and kind of sad.

I'm really enjoying these thorki week posts 🥰🥰🥰🥰 What a wonderful idea!!

Thank you, anon! It was all Rai’s idea and the fandom has been having a blast with it so far. So much great content! It’s a bit overwhelming, this much thorki to feast upon, but if you follow the tag #thorkiweek over on Twitter, you can browse through at your leisure (and hopefully you’ll like/follow/retweet if you’ve got a Twitter account).

I know some of us thorkis are battling colds and exams and jobs and other real life issues so we can’t participate in Thorki Week right now, but this event is super laid-back, and you can post a creation at any time. (I missed the first day so I’m going to combine a couple of the prompts into one to make up for it, for example.) And anyone can participate! Just throwing that out there. 😉
