yknow, i do find it annoying when ppl look at images of something unfortunate happening to loki and go "umm why does this look sexual lol 😜", but really, it's just the tone that annoys me. it's not like they're actually wrong. like... the reason it looks sexual is Because It's Rape Imagery.
like. yeah there is something weird about that shirtless man getting in loki's personal space and whispering threats down the back of his neck. and that other shirtless man backing him into a wall. and that time he was pinned to the ground by a phallic object. and that time he was run through with a sword that was still sticking out of the last guy it stabbed. etc etc. it's uncomfortable on purpose!
but also the thing you've got to understand about this kind of thing is that it IS. *symbolism*. like, it *can* be literal, but frequently, even the majority of the time, it's a metaphor, and the comparison being drawn by this kind of imagery is not so much the 'sexual' as the 'assault'. (violation, humiliation, dehumanisation...) (and also the kinds of things which are often mediated/enforced through sexual violence - power and gender in particular.)

Honestly Athelstan in the beginning of season 2 is so funny.
"The axe is better than the sword."
"Thor is on our side"
"Do you miss England?"
"no."
"...sometimes"
*sasses Floki in Norse*
Like he's trying SO HARD to fit in it's almost embarrassing. Boy's like the nerd who got accepted into a jock friendgroup in his first year of high school and wants so badly to be cool

i honestly did such a good job picking marzell fc. like anything before vikings fits so well with marzell before he leaves court and like drops off the face of the earth for a bit. and vikings is exactly what i had in my head for what he looked like when he came back. and the fact i picked leo before vikings dropped too.
