Los Angeles Times: You have been in the mindset of the character Loki for awhile now with Thor 2 coming up. Is that weird? ( X ) at 0:52

1. This is amazing.
2. Tom Hiddleston is perfect.
3. Man, I was hoping Loki would be less sad in this movie. Guess I’m SOL.

ETA: Oh, this is from the Avengers premiere. Was Thor 2 even written yet? Maybe there’s still hope…

From episode 2x06, “New Haven Can Wait.” Notice Thor never actually wears HIS helmet. Did they have to like, design personalized helmets at their bar mitzvahs or something but you only actually have to wear it at state occasions? But Loki loves his and wears it all the time and Thor just does not get it.

From episode 2x19, “The Grandfather.”

This one’s from episode 1x14, “The Blair Bitch Project.” Aw, Thor, Loki knows your hair looks great, he’s just being mean.

So I have four beautiful pictures to share with you…the BFF (varlandgear) and I were talking about how Thor and Loki are really a lot like Blair and Serena…and then this happened! Thor and Loki screencaps captioned with Gossip Girl dialogue. She calls it…Gossip Gods. This one is from episode 1x04, “Bad News Blair.” Sorry Steve, you get to be Dan!

(Some of the dialogue was actually TOO CLOSE to even be funny, for example this:

SERENA: So we good now, we square?
BLAIR: No. Because nothing I do will ever be as bad as what you did to me.
SERENA: Look, I’m asking you please. I’ll stop if you will.
BLAIR: You’re just saying that because today, you lost. And you’re going to keep losing. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a future to get back to.

There’s not even a joke to making Thor and Loki say that! It’s just something they’d say. I HAVE A FUTURE TO GET BACK TO. &hearts; Blair &hearts;)

#tom hiddleston #having more loki feels than you since 1981

THAT PAUSE. It kills me. He just wants it so bad. ME TOO, BUDDY. ME TOO.

We discovered that when we were going around the world promoting the movie, in Moscow and in the the U.K. and in Rome, and all these people behind the barricades at the premieres were holding “Loki’s Armies” signs or wearing homemade helmets with horns on it. We sat around years ago saying we needed a villain in the MCU, as complex and dynamic as Magneto is. Magneto is one of the best villains in both the comics and in the movies. The way that Tom brought Loki to life, with all of those different emotions and up to Hulk smashing him into the ground, we’re already having fun with Tom on the set of “Dark World.” We hope to have that continue. Even if you didn’t read comics or weren’t versed in mythology and had no idea who Loki was — and he’s kind of out there with his big horns — they responded to him, particularly women. Tom is an amazing looking specimen but also because of that darkness, I think they find a sexiness with him as a badboy.

Kevin Feige’s Moviefone interview.

There’s something I’ve been thinking about recently, and that’s “bad boys.” It’s something I hear regularly when I tell people about my crushes on various fictional villains, bad guys, etc. (Spike, Lex Luthor, Loki, Iago): “I’ve just never gotten the bad boy thing.” (It’s almost always people who don’t share it that describe it that way.) And I guess there’s nothing factually wrong with that characterization, I guess you could say I have a “bad boy thing,” but to me it feels like a misreading of what appeals to me about the characters. To me (and I’m ready to be corrected) “bad boy” suggests the thrill of danger, driving too fast, leather jackets, letting your hair down and doing things your mother told you not to. I guess to me, a bad boy thing sounds fun. My crush on Han Solo, for example, is a bad boy thing. My crush on Loki isn’t, and having talked to a lot of people (and read stories by a lot of people) who also love Loki, I think for most of them, it isn’t.

It frustrates me that people see women loving a character who’s self-destructive, self-hating, deeply unhappy, doesn’t feel like he fits in anywhere, yearns for love, yearns to be whole, lashes out when he’s angry and he’s always angry, is basically just one giant scream of lonely resentful pain, and they say “Oh, well, women love a bad boy.” Plenty of women adore that character because they identify with him. I don’t know, maybe Kevin Feige knows that. Maybe I just wish we could come up with a way to talk about female sexuality that doesn’t feel trivializing. But I know that describing my connection with Loki’s character as being about his “dark sexiness” feels kind of insulting. (Which doesn’t mean I wouldn’t hit that. I totally would! But…)

What do you think? Do you have a bad boy thing? What does that mean to you?

fuckyeahfatcosplay:

Myself as Lady Loki from the Avengers/Marvelverse.

I have pretty terrible self-image but… I really like this cosplay and I love how I feel in it. I’m a US size 18, and most of my cosplays are horror-themed, so it was nice to be a sexy, dramatic, vampy character and feel great doing it.

This is my favorite picture of myself, ever. <3

Ooh, I love it!

The last day of the week, which was held sacred to Loki, was known in the Norse as Laugardag, or wash-day, but in English it was changed to Saturday, and was said to owe its name not to Saturn but to Sataere, the thief in ambush, and the Teutonic god of agriculture, who is supposed to be merely another personification of Loki.
