Sent an email to my entire family about my sister being diagnosed with brain cancer over the weekend.
Just received an email back from my other sister, who I have not talked to since 2015, and before that weird day since 2010, so basically 13 years of mutually agreed upon complete non-communication, telling me I write so well, even when writing about sad things, and have I ever considered being a writer?

Hello! I’ve liked your fics for a long time, and was wondering if you would write something with fem- presenting Loki? There are some gender-fluid Loki fics on ao3, but I Need More To Live. I would write one, but I wouldn’t ever finish it.
I really want Loki to join the avengers in 2012 so that the other stuff doesn’t happen. sometimes I want Loki and Natasha to make fun of the rest of the avengers.
Idk I just really like the idea that Loki and Natasha would be friends. Or Loki and Wanda. (Except for all of the aforementioned characters got done so dirty by MCU. Isn’t that like a trope? Kill off the girl so the guy has a motivation to defeat the bad guy? Like from Green Lantern or something?
And Loki and Wanda got rewritten.). Whatever. I’m PERFECTLY OKAY! *eye twitches*
That kind of turned into a rant. Sorry.
Tumblr media
Here are more of my headcanons, because I’d rather dm someone on tumblr instead of actually making a post on my blog. I’m weird.
-Loki was friends with Tchaikovsky and Mozart and Shakespeare. Maybe even Paganini, or like Ada Lovelace. Or Albert Einstein. Basically a lot of historical figures and also musicians from the 1980s.
-Loki is an honorary gay, because he’s an alien and aliens don’t have human concepts of gender and sexuality. But also you saw that 🏳️‍🌈hand flip🏳️‍🌈 he did in the 1602 episode. I mean, he was just being so gay in that 1602 episode. It was beautiful.
-Loki is a sad little boi. 🥺🥺
-Loki is a good little boi who got did dirty by MCU and Odin. (🥺🥺)
-Loki isn’t always a boy.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️(unfortunately no gender-fluid flag emojis so 💕🤍💜🖤💙)
-Loki knows all the languages.
-Loki would watch anime and Kdramas if HE WASN’T DEAD.
-Loki is a theater kid.
-Loki is cat
-Loki knows how to play ALL the instruments. He likes cello the best though. Also he has perfect pitch.
-Loki needs therapy. Like two blue whales worth of therapy.
-If Tony and Loki ever had a long conversation, they would figure out how to solve world hunger and climate change and overpopulation AND THEIR MOTHERS. (It doesn’t make sense but just roll with it)
-Loki is a Major Fucking Nerd About Everything.
-Loki likes calculus as a hobby.
-Loki is, (un?)fortunately, a British stereotype.
-Loki ships appledash and narusasu.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Bye, and thanks for letting me dump headcanons on you.
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing all of these with me, it's so fun to see other people's headcanons about Loki and their excitement about his character. I love discussing this blorbo and cracking him open like an onion to peal away layers of trauma and reveal the nerd beneath.
Lol, the amount of times I've thought about doing an MCU rewrite post a1 to fix everything is insane. If I did do this, I'd actually probably start at civil war, because personally, I feel like everything was (generally) actually okay and enjoyable until infinity war. Civil war is just a good place to kick around the fix-its because everything is such a mess.
As far as your request goes, it might surprise you, but you're actually NOT the first person to approach me about a genderfluid, fem-presenting Loki. More like the....4th? or maybe 5th? Idk. I've definitely been approached by multiple people over the years about this. Firstly, thank you for trusting me with your idea and your headcanons, I'm humbled and honored that you would approach me about this because you believed I would be able to write the story in a way that you would find meaningful and enjoyable <3
Second - I really just don't know. My first inclination is to say no, not because I'm not interested or don't care, but mostly because I'm so busy right now I really don't know when I'll be able to get to the story. Plus, I'm really not sure how to go about this. I'd need to figure out what direction I wanted to take the story, because Loki being genderfluid wouldn't change that much except their outward appearance. Loki + genderfluid + Natasha friendship is an amazing concept, but it's not a...plot, if that makes sense? "Fixing" a1 could be 50,000,000 separate things, and if it goes out as a fix-it for mcu, that would be an enormous project. Easily 200k-400k+, which would take me like...uh 1-3 years to write.
Loki being genderfluid IS something I've thought about just adding to my fics in general now (i'm really not sure, because I love cis male Loki, and I know it's canon that he's genderfluid, but I kind of disregard most things from the series anyway?) but Idk?
+ and this is just a personal one for me, but I don't know how to include Loki being genderfluid as a major part of the plot/story right now. Like, for example, I've been in the process of dumping all of my religious lgbtq+ trauma on peter parker in a (massive) one-shot that revolves around Peter learning to accept himself as being gay, but the point of the story is that Peter doesn't accept himself at first and the conclusion is when he does. (I don't know if I'm ever going to share or finish that fic by the way, so don't look for it) I don't know how to take the concept of this story, turn it into a fix-it for Avengers 1 with Natasha, and have a meaningful story about being genderfluid at the same time?
Like to me there's two different ways to go about lgbtq+ stories: a story about being gay that is intended to talk about lgbtq+ experiences and focus heavily on that, vs a story where the character is lgbtq+ and it's just part of their character and not something we spend a lot of time talking about because we don't need to. The story isn't about them being lgbtq+ specifically, it's about the character. Recently, a lot more media has started doing the latter, which is really, really nice because I don't feel like being lgbtq+ has to be justified every 20 lines.
The story I'm writing about Peter Parker is the former. It's about being gay. The entire story revolves around it. What I can tell from what you're saying is that you want something where Loki just IS genderfluid, but it's not something we spend a whole lot of time discussing because the story isn't ABOUT being genderfluid, it's about fixing mcu with genderfluid Loki as the main character, if I'm understanding this correctly? Which is fine and I absolutely support it because there is nothing wrong with writing genderfluid Loki and I wholeheartedly support those authors.
So i guess to shorten this - because this isn't just like a ~5-15k one-shot (which are about the only length of requests I can successfully complete right now), as respectfully as I can, I'm going to have to lovingly turn you down. I'm not saying no, I'll never write about genderfluid Loki, because I'm like 90% sure I will eventually, but I just don't know about a fix-it for MCU from the first Avengers. One suggestion I have is maybe, if you really really need to see this come to fruition, is to just write a bunch of one-shots that are interconnected based on each of your headcanons and then publish it as an interconnected series, not so much a full length novel like I would write. I can easily see this being a really enjoyable series. Best of luck

hm. this is going to be vague on purpose bc i'm not interested in arguments, but i am once again getting REAL uncomfortable with how some people talk about edward's actions at the end of new moon
#sorry i'm just Seeing Posts TM#listen i UNDERSTAND that suicide is always a painful topic#and smeyer really did set everyone up for failure here#by wanting a romeo-and-juliet aesthetic with 0 of the same themes#and god knows every depiction of mental illness in new moon fucking sucks#but i just...#okay.#i think that there's a lot of nuance in the situation that is getting flattened down#by people being like 'he's suicidal!!!!!'#and using that as some checkmate defense against criticizing him#(or making fun of him in that moment)#and like...ugh.#i've made a post abt this before i know#and articulated it way better there#but i'm just so sick of that being what people focus on in that situation#like. he's suicidal. he's self-destructive. absolutely!!#he's also very nearly homicidal. EXTREMELY self-obsessed. and 'suffering' the result of his own manipulative actions!!#he is doing some FUCKED UP SHIT#and he has been for the whole story!!!!#and listen (time to overshare on tumblr dot com)#i am not in any sense unaware of how much being violently suicidally depressed sucks#i have been there! i have as a matter of fact broken up with a girlfriend out of self-loathing#and then attempted suicide a few months later!!#i have also experienced someone 'attempting' suicide as a manipulation tactic#SPECIFICALLY bc *i* wouldn't date him#did he have other issues going on? clearly yes!#but that doesn't change the fact that he did something incredibly wildly fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#and obviously i'm not saying that's what's happening with edward#but i am saying i think we DESPERATELY need to leave more room for nuance in that situation#especially given that he's a fictional character

So I was thinking of the scene where, if someone's making you choose between them and Astarion, you can go to him and say, "I want you," and he's like, "What? Why?"
And I've read some really sweet takes about how he's just blown away by how someone could choose him over someone else and all that.
But my brain is an asshole.
And my first thought was Astarion thinking, "Well, at least I don't have to pretend anymore."
And then Tav choosing him and he's just like, "Oh ffs. I mean, yay us."

the music slowly getting more intense at the end of Pale White Horse, the part in There Beneath that chants the wind, the leaves the callback to Passerine in Cold, how Dry Branches ends with the same melody that Grow begins with so they blend into each other, the entire MEANING behind the four winds albums an- gunshots

I just finished reading y&b and I feel speechless. I don't think anything I'll read in the future will ever compare to it. It's was tragic and heartbreaking, but also funny and so so incredibly beautiful. It may be a bit idk dramatic to say this, but I almost feel as if it was life changing in some ways. I can't quite explain it. I'm just... Wow...
@dreamsoffilm I don't know how I can ever thank you for recommending it to me.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.
