I forgot how to handle this place. Anyway, I'm nelyo3 on AO3, I translate fanfiction into Japanese. I don't come here often but I thought I'd leave this post for anyone who needs to get in touch about translations. https://archiveofourown.org/users/Nelyo3
I ship Thorki because it isnât incestâthey are not biologically related. Itâs pseudo incest, but not incest. I donât want to hate or come off as rude or anything of that sort, but how can you say that âmorals donât apply to fictionâ? What about pedophilia? Rape? I think Thorki is completely justified and Iâm sorry but I feel like youâre kind of ruining its case by looping it in with other âproblematic shipsâ.
*takes a very deep breath*
I can say morals do not apply to fiction because they donât.
Have you read my addition after those words? Unless you believe fiction to be reality, morals do not apply there. They simply donât. Fiction is fiction, itâs not real and it has been like this since the very first fiction was created.
Yes, pedophilia and rape often appear in fiction. So does murder. So does cannibalism. So does incest. So does beastiality. So does every goddamn thing you can ever think of that is frowned upon or forbidden in reality.
All of these things are created with a purpose: entertain the reader. They are not real. Imagine the words âNo real people or animals were harmed in the creation of this workâ coming along with all kinds of fiction.
Iâm not ruining the ship, dear, I am stating the truth. Some might need to justify shipping Thorki by saying they are not blood related, but you know what? The vast majority of the shippers frankly does not give a damn about that. They ship Thorki despite it being incest and they do so because itâs simply how it is. They even ship it just because of it, because Thor and Lokiâs brotherly relationship is something incredibly deep and meaningful and strong. Itâs who they are. They cannot live without each other, they are codependant and they love each other more than they could ever love anyone else. And thatâs canon. Them being brothers literally defines them as characters.
You are doing something very devious here, anon. You are trying to put Thorki above other âproblematic shipsâ like Starker, for example, because âThey are not actually related! Itâs not incest, itâs not wrong to ship them!â. And that is what is ruining this case. You are taking the easy way out to make yourself feel better about shipping them.
Yes, itâs incest. Yes, we still ship it like that. Why? Because we know itâs not real, we know itâs just for entertainment and we donât want real life siblings to engage in sexual relationships just because of it.
I will say it again because this is really so, so important: Do not, under any circumstances, confuse a piece of fiction with reality. Enjoying something fictional does not prove you would ever condone this type of thing in the real world and implying that someone would do so is plain wrong.
You know what people should be concerned about instead of damning others over fictional ships that literally no one outside the internet gives a shit about? Actual pedophiles on tumblr, for example. There is a whole community out there who parades around and proudly gloats about the fact they are attracted to children - real life adults being sexually attracted to actual children.
But geez, I ship an incest ship and defend it⊠how wrong of me.
What a horrible world we live in where people are more concerned whether or not someone ships two fictional brothers or an 18 year old and a 50+ year old than about protecting actual children.
Iâm curious what do you have against the MCU?
completely took over an industry that was already restricted by nepotism and wealth and privilege and made it even harder for any new or creative or diverse ideas to be made and convinced millions of people that having lots of cgi is good cinema so now everything is so polished and shiny and ugly and soulless but still has this unearned cult of worship surrounding it so NOBODY can dare point out the military propaganda or bare minimum diversity or frankly bland filmmaking because if you do you're just a loser and it doesn't matter if you're a movie lover who just wants new and different content or martin scorcese because marvel has completely taken over cinema and criticism is not allowed because how DARE people not give a shit about iron man or loki and there's no need for decent characterisation or complex themes because it's easier to just make villains that are like "capitalism is bad...and also MURDERING CHILDREN IS OKAY!!!" so you can put out your sloppy storylines and make people think it's the morally righteous thing to do to pay money to watch every single one of your sequels and spin offs and reboots and whenever people start to complain about how the film and tv industry is becoming a husk of repetition you just shove benedict cumberbatch in the next spiderman movie or whatever because how can people be mad that we're making sure we're slowing sucking life out of the moving image when we're doing such fun crossovers? and of course all these crossovers are SO important so you have to watch all fifty movies and twenty shows and thirty spinoffs to understand anything else in our universe and you're damn sure we're going to be releasing the next thing as soon as the other is out of theatres or is out of episodes because we CANNOT have people straying and finding media that isn't owned by us at least not until our parent company has bought out that media as well because absolutely everything has to be disney and WE'RE the powerhouse right now and you are never going to escape it and if you want your work to get any kind of support or funding then you better hope you're lucky, know someone rich or with connections, or it features captain america because otherwise you can get fucked but don't worry sometimes we have movies abpout women too so we're actually a #girlboss cinematic universe and if you don't like the stuff we make then you HATE WOMEN and you HATE CINEMA and you HATE PEOPLE BEING HAPPY and originality and creativity is a myth and you're either with us or against us but if you're not with us prepare to find us following you all the fucking time anyway because you are NOT allowed to have interests outside of the MCU we are everywhere and either you will watch spiderloki 58: captain marvel: the revenge of environmentalists or we will fucking kill you ourselves
2/ and at this rate by the time I finish it there will be no readers left. That's the possibility, yeah. And I know that that someone would do it. Actually they once told me they would be happy to do it if it's hard for me. That was when I was severely depressed, but I think they would still do it if I asked them. Sooo...what do you think? By your leave maybe we can both do it....? (cos I still want to do it)(to the land where living thorki has ceased to exist.)(weeps) s
Oh, no! Iâm so sad to hear youâve been so depressed! I did wonder what happened to you but i guessed life and things that happened. Itâs not great to hear it was a lot worse than just âlife and thingsâ, but iâm so glad you got in touch! Are you getting better? I am sending you lots of love for a full recovery and maybe a lil special treat this weekend too!
Yes, itâs totally fine with me to get somebody else on board. Iâm twice as honoured and flattered! You have my humble blessing to go ahead as you see fit.
As for the state of the fandom⊠yyyyeah. Not great right now. But not ded. At least there are a few diehards here who, well, die hard. Me, Iâm just as in love with these two as i have ever been. They still got it for me. The butterflies are still there. So iâm not going anywhere!
Big hugs to you, and many thanks to this new recruit! I hope theyâll drop a word so i can say hi directly!
And keep going, always keep going. It does get better. đ
Thank you for replying, and more thanks for your kind words! You know Sara, and I am here to tell you that I have spoken with her and she has agreed to translate the fic from the beginning anew. I think that's the best way to do it since our styles are different. So you will have two translators for this fic!Â
Actually, Sara and I have done this before, so there is no problem between us. Though that was by chance, not by anyone's request or anything. Â Sara is a wonderful translator and I can continue crawling at my pace(I feel like Iâm about to make a kingsnake joke and I swear Iâm not)(I don't know why I was surprised when I found you're Jimbert because they're gods after all!)(Sorry we're getting off track). I hope this is not a problem for you. Please tell me if there are any problems!
Sending big hugs and umm...tea? cool breeze maybe? Here's insanely hot, I hope yours is better. Lots of love<3
Itâs been 3 years to the day and Iâm still doing it :1

Costume. Chitons.
Marjorie & C. H. B.Quennell, Everyday Things in Archaic Greece (London: B. T. Batsford, 1931).
Wait, waitâŠ. Is that seriously it? How their clothes go?
that genuinely is it
yeah hey whats up bout to put some fucking giant sheets on my body
When youâre carding, spinning and weaving everything from scratch, using the big squares exactly as they come off the loom must seem like a fucking brilliant idea. 90% (or more) of pre-14th century clothing is made purely on squares (and sometimes triangles cut from squares).Â
How did they get the fabric so fine it draped like that? Was that something medieval europe forgot? Or do I just have a completely misguided image of historical clothing?
Medieval Europe also had incredibly fine weaves, though the ancient world tended to have them beat. Linen was found in Egypt woven with a fineness that weâre still trying to replicate, and there was a kind of cotton woven in India called âwoven windâ that was supposedly still translucent at eight layers, and wool shawls so fine that the entire thing could be drawn through a wedding ring.Â
The way they could get away with pinking and slashing doublets in the 16th century was partially because the fabrics were so tightly woven that you could simply cut a line on the bias and nothing would fray.Â
Modern fabric machining sucks ass in terms of giving us any kind of quality like the kind human beings produced prior to the Industrial Revolution.Â
*yells about textile history*
Reblogging because itâs fascinating.
The Celts made very fine clothing as well. They invented plaid after all, and the same weaves that have been found at the La Tene/Halstatt salt mines in Austria were also found as far away as western China in the tombs of the Tarim mummies.
Can we talk about 18th century and regency era muslin as well because that shit is gorgeous. Itâs so fine itâs more transparent than silk chiffon and oh the tiny hems you can make with it!! I have an 18th century neckerchief and the hem is about 2mm wide. Not kidding, 2mm!!! Because it didnât fray like our stuff does now. All we can produce nowadays is a rough, scratchy, bullshit excuse for muslin and itâs horrid.
I love this because weâve gotten so blind to what makes âgoodâ fabric now - machine lace? horrible scratchy shit mostly made from poly. Actual lace is handmade, lasts for fucking EVER and looks stunning.Â
Regency gowns fucking rocked in terms of fabric quality - we use muslin as a âthrow awayâ before sewing the real fabric, back then it WAS a real fabric and it was so finely made you wouldnât even think it was the same stuff.Â
Hand hemming is still the best way to finish off anything, but harder than hell because of the shitty weave of modern fabrics.Â
Satin? Silks?!
Pah. Yes, fabric is cheaper, more affordable and varied than before, but it is an area where QUALITY was sacrificed for QUANTITY.Â
(I donât want to seem like Iâm shitting on how great we have it now for clothes and martials or anything, because YAY!! but also, Iâd love to get my mits on a bolt of real Muslin)Â
archaeologists recently found some Bronze Age fabric woven on site and preserved in marsh in England. itâs fine to die for. they were exporting it and trading into Asia.
Iâm not into fashion, but I love reading about the history and evolution of it.
Iâm curious what do you have against the MCU?

some people really need to understand that thereâs a difference between saying âtheyâre a good characterâ and âtheyâre a good personâ
Me: This villain is a really good character!
Some fucker at tumbler dot com: Um you do realize they KILL people right? Or are you OKAY with that??? Youâre cool with murder???? Wouldnât mind if they killed your family!!!??? Iâm calling the police
I kinda headcanon that Lokiâs magical pockets are just full of junk. Just shiny things he found on Midgard that he liked. Some pretty unbreakable snowflakes from Jotunheim. A jar of pretty powder from Vanaheim. Just completely useless stuff that he saw and liked. He keeps telling himself that one day, heâs gonna clean it out. But heâs also a giant procrastinator so it never gets done lol
This reminds me of a post way back that talked about Loki in Avengers absorbing bullets into his dimensional pockets and all I could think about was like... one day, he accidentally opens the wrong one and this huge pile of spent bullets just spills out. đ
Anyways, I could totally see Loki carrying around all sorts of obscure items because he swears, one of these days, this random stuff is going to come in handy.
okay but imagine he can open the dimensional pockets and the bullets come out still moving at the same speed which means he can not only make bullets appear but heâs also got a whole range of weapons people fired at him stored up just in case but actually because heâs got no idea how to safely take them out of a pocket.Â
@worstlokiââs tags: #it would mess with people so much if things in the pocket are basically frozen in time#imagine he panics and sends a bullet towards someone and then when they take it out they can tell its from ww2 but... it isn't old#loki's pocket dimension is good for 2 things and they're random things he picks up because they look cool and he might need them and weapons#picture it#the city is about to be blown up by a nuke#time is ticking and no one can do anything about it#with 10 seconds left the bomb disappears#loki shrugs#'you're welcome'#everyone is too scared to ask what he did with it#a week later they're on an alien planet that thrives of radiation and the avengers find themselves stranded with no currency to speak of#loki casually mentions that he's got enough money to buy them an entire squad of ships#normally it doesn't surprise anyone that loki has somehow got currency on a planet thor has never even heard of#but aliens are actively waving to him in the streets and thanking him and they get curious#'the second we're off the planet im gonna nuke them'#'you're going to WHAT?!'#'planetary ambient radiation runs out really quick but if i nuke them they wont have to keep migrating planets every few years'#'where tf are you going to get a nuke from??'#loki just shrugs#everyone knows about as much about loki's magic as the mcu writers so now they think loki can make nukes appear whenever he wantsÂ
lmfao this is absolutely my new canon now
queer is literally a slur. like youâve never been called that in a derogatory context like most lgbt people? you think your experiences escaping homophobia make it okay to justify the use of a homophobic slur?
queer is an identity.
it has also been used as a slur. there is no denying that. but using a word as a slur does not make it a slur. because before queer is a slur it is an identity. before it is derogatory it is a label. the use of queer as an identity is infinitely more important than the use of queer as a slur because the people who identify as queer are infinitely more important than the people who use queer as a slur.
say a lot of people decided they hated me. despised me. were disgusted by me to the point where my own name became a slur. would you tell me not to say it? would you tell me i could no longer be helena, and instead must come up with a euphemism for the name that belonged to me decades before it belonged in the mouths of bigots?
because that would make you an enabler.
you would tell me i canât say my name anymore because some lowlife decided he could use it to insult me?
you would tell a gay man that he canât be gay anymore because some teens in the early 2000âs started calling everything they didnât like âgayâ, and now he has to say âsame sex oriented male identifying individualâ?
does that enrage you? because it should. thatâs exactly how you sound.
you are telling me i cannot use my label. you are telling me that when my great-uncle shouted until his face was red and he spat tobacco and the word queer at my feet, he was right. he was right to insult me, and i was wrong to say my name.
you are shitting on every single one of our predecessors. you are slandering every person who fought for their rights to exist and and be tolerated and be celebrated in their countries, every person who was lost to the aids epidemic, every person whose country criminalizes love and gender expression, every child whose parents abandoned them for straying from the norm, every person who was born and will die in the closet longing to be themselves. the queer umbrella is a safety net, a security blanket, the comfort of being known without being pressured to tell. it is near and dear and important as fuck to every member of the lgbt+ community and you are a blight upon the earth you walk.
how dare you speak upon my experiences with homophobia. how dare you disguise your own homophobia as activism. and how fucking dare you have the audacity to come to my blog and hide behind an anonymous ask and preach to me about how iâm oppressing myself. go look at the fucking wikipedia page for queer and read about how 1980s lgbt+ activists, especially lgbt+ people of color, fought to call themselves queer in a world that still hates peculiar things. and here you are forty years later spitting queer back at their feet.
i donât give a fuck if people start using my name as a slur. my name is still helena. i will not change it. i chose it, i like it, and it belongs to me. it does not belong to bigots no matter how badly they want it. your discomfort with my identity is not my fucking problem.
i am helena. i am queer. die mad & go fuck yourself
itâs pride month babes reblog if youâre queer or if you like frogs
Next anon is going to tell fat people they aren't allowed to call themselves fat don't you know it's a slur that thin people use against fat people.
genuinely as a fat queer person this is a good example. do you know how many times fat ppl are told by thin ppl they canât/shouldnât call themselves fat, like, oh, no, youâre PLUS SIZED youâre CUDDLY youâre FLUFFY, like, fam, itâs fat. Iâm fat. Itâs not my bodyâs fault that you decided a perfectly normal word was an insult. Frankly the way queer ppl and fat ppl have mobilized around their words can be compared as well, as well as the way ppl try to disarm them by giving them more âharmlessâ or âpleasantâ epithets.Â
The Order of The Avengers (Part 1) - (2021)
A couple of months ago, I asked my followers what kind of Avengers fan art they wanted to see from me and they voted at 81% for the âMedieval / Heroic Fantasy AUâ option. Hereâs the result, I hope youâll enjoy it! â„ A big thank you to @vegetamochi who came up with the title. (Nb: this is an art project, thereâs no fic to go with it)
PART 2 IS AVAILABLE HERE
Funny how Captain Colonizer got Sam's Twitter account as promo for the show but T'Challa as Star Lord hasn't gotten shit. Why is this? I mean I really really wish I could think of the reason they haven't advertised the second episode with Chadwick Boseman's last performance ever at all. Why are they still promoting Captain Coloniz- I mean Carter, Captain Carter. Funny. Weird, but certainly not racist.
So Marvel are STILL promoting Captain Carter across all their socials, and yet in 2 days, Chadwickâs last ever speaking role is this weekâs What If episode as TâChalla Star Lord and there is absolutely NOTHING. Not one single bit of promo across any of their accounts. Fan accounts are literally doing it for them, much like with Shang Chi and Simu singlehandedly doing the promotion for that himself.
Sad how Simu Liu is literally promoting Shang-Chi on his own while Marvel is literally doing nothing compared to their other films. Like this movie is huge!! We have an Asian lead whoâs a superhero, the majority of the CAST is Asian, AND ITS A LITERAL MARVEL MOVIE?? Whereâs the interviews, whereâs the merch promo, the different kind of fan postersâlike doesnât that seem a bit sus to yaâll? Marvelâs doing the bare minimum with the promotion and it annoys the fuck out of me. And instead of constantly asking âwhErEâS ThE nO wAY HoMe trAiLeR???â on EVERY fucking Marvel post why canât some people just appreciate the current content that theyâre releasing?đ
I didnât expect this post to get so much attention, but holy shit!! Now that I got your attention, PLEASE watch Shang-Chi when it comes out in theaters on September 3!!! As an Asian myself (Iâm Filipino) and a big MCU fan, this movie means so much to me and to other Asians around the world. Watch it to show support for Simu Liu and the incredible cast and do it to show Marvel and Disney that we are not just an âexperimentââbut that Shang-Chi is a celebration of the Asian community.
