soltian: (Loki Thread)

Dumping a bunch of Thor art in here that I haven't put up on my LJ yet because I keep telling myself that I'll get back in the habit of posting art on my LJ and I never do so - today I am breaking that pattern.






An illustration for a scene in Red Ruin, and the Breaking Up of Laws by [livejournal.com profile] hummingbirdmoth, still my favorite Thor fic to date and the reason I'm so bloody obsessed with this fandom.


4:29 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: Have you learned how to use that thing yet?

4:30 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: You’ll miss out if you haven’t.



4:35 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: I get wet thinking about you.

4:35 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: And I know that alone makes you hard.

4:37 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: You’ll never be like the others.

4:41 AM TXT MSG from LOKI: Come choke on my cock, Avenger.


  “Thokk will weep dry tears over Balder’s funeral. I never cared for the Old Man’s son - alive or dead, I have no use for him. Let Hel hold what she has.”
   Despite the messengers’ prayers and entreaties, Thokk refused to say another word. She would not recant, she would not weep.
   Then the messengers left her; they mournfully crossed Bifrost. And what they had to say was clear from the manner of their coming.
   The gods and goddesses ached; they felt old and confused and unable and weary. And not one of them doubted that Thokk, the giantess who would not weep, was Loki.

-The Death of Balder, Kevin Crossley-Holland’s Norse Myths.




Ikol then lit on my shoulder, with an unnatural screech - Huginn and Muninn’s red eyes burnt resentment, and then they were gone.

Keep your head up, child, keep your eyes forward. Ikol whispered in my ear, his voice more gentle than I had ever known it. They speak of me, not of you.

Those who knew Thor from a distance would say he commanded the storms, and they were, of course, correct. What only those intimate with him knew, was that somewhere between the calm of total control and the brink of chaos, Thor’s hand closed on Mjolnir when his blood boiled with the unspeakable. Inexpressible by words, laughter, or screams, he would give himself up to her, and the storm would simply come.

Young and innocent~











Still young, not so innocent.


Poor Balder deserves more love than this.


Loki as dragon.


For a CHARACTER FEELINGS meme:
How I feel about this character:
He’s become one of my all-time favorites. He’s brash, violent, clever, blind, loving, and terrible all at once. I love how tactile he feels, his need for physicality as a character makes him very instinctive to connect to.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
Loki, Mjolnir, Sif, and Frigga. I will also read anything that’s written well, but am more inclined to ship him with fellow immortals.
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Thor x ALL the Warriors Three bro*4tpforlife.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Aside from the movie, I ignore almost every Marvel version of Thor. I tend to depict Thor as my interpretation of Mythology Thor with Chris Hemsworth’s body. Also, I think Thor makes a really shitty hero. He’s not noble, he’s out for glory, and can get flippant, petty and incredibly self-interested.



How I feel about this character:
Adoration. There are few characters in the history of all human mythology and storytelling that bring to mind such an immediate notion of duplicity, trickery, and mayhem as the name “Loki”. The greatest thing about him is that I see every single version of Loki as true in one way or another, he’s always something new, always has a new face, is never single-stream. A trickster among tricksters, a master of madness.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
Thor, Balder, Sigyn, Angrboda, Sif, Svadilfari, Fandral, Thrym, Tyr, Mephisto, Tentacles, Himself. Also, write it well, and I’ll read it. Loki is not exactly prudish.
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
I saved this spot for Amora. Not that they don’t have sex, because they absolutely do have sex. They are just not romantically interested in one another. More like an extremely dangerous partnership.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Loki is the prince of making unpopular opinions moot. I like to believe some unconventional things about Loki (that “he” is intersex, that all those myths are QUITE literal about fucking horses and having babies as a milkmaid), but whether these opinions are unpopular or not I’m too sheltered to know.



Boys beating each other bloody and then making out.


Fat and cute and keychainable.

It does! It dangles pretty adorably on a chain once I make it <3 asklfj packed that made me spit in laughter a little. It feels like it's been so long since I've talked to you! How has life been going?

Ahaha~ I could also make a pun about a party in a certain man's pants and Thor who's invited~ :D

My life is quite good atm, I bought a house and I'm drawing a lot (Percy Jackson stuff because its so me to enter a fandom that consists out of 13/14 year olds with OC's en crushes on Percy >_>; )

And how're you? Your drawings still make me happy~

The chart at the very top is hilarious. How is it that Thor keeps winning?

Magical fairy dust and his beard. Or - or maybe his beard IS magical fairy dust? That would make sense.

That would explain why it's so pretty.

Well you are just way, way too kind, thank you so much! And it actually means a lot that you picked out that one in particular, for some reason I liked it a lot (I discovered I have a LOT of fun immersing myself in Thor's point of view...), but it didn't seem like many other people did, so <333 You are super sweet aaaaah ;-;

all of these are so great.. and I love the things you pointed out about Thor and why he's not so cut to be the hero

Oh, I was wondering! Hah no worries about the account thing though <3 I am very biased about Thor due to being a Mythology Elitist Jerk, but honestly I can't see why they picked him to be a hero in the first place. Probably couldn't have gotten very far with a franchise based around Balder, though, the name just doesn't command the same kind of recognition.

This post. I like it. ANOTHER! *cough*

Beautiful work. I love the tenderness between the two of them that you've managed to convey, along with the lust and competition. I didn't originally subscribe to the intersex Loki like idea, but the more time I spend in the fandom the more it makes sense.

And dragon!Loki? Simply awesome!

More has been posted! And hopefully more yet will come soon, now that I finally caught up on posting what I've drawn, heh <3 Thank you so much! Intersex Loki makes sense to me in a few ways, I can take pretty much any interpretation of it. One that I really like is that he's capable of shifting between genders (obviously) but isn't truly either - so it's not like he has a "TRUE" form that is intersex, but his male form and his female form, and an intersex form, should he choose to take it, are all equally valid.

Pfft. Babbling or not, it's awesome, it makes sense and it makes for good porn reading and art.
