#grandmaster
Loki in the Grandmaster’s orgy ship two weeks before Thor arrived
Jeff Goldblum opening speech murdered me, this is my final Will
Valkyrie : ah, so you’re the grandmaster’s special someone.
Loki: I prefer to think of myself as a “long term sugar baby booty call”
there’s something so compelling about stories where a character’s virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the reverse. What starts out as someone’s fatal* flaw becomes their saving virtue because it was what was needed for the situation at hand. Outside of the very hm, not heavy-handed per se but simplified maybe?, variations in lots of children’s and teen’s literature I don’t feel like I know any examples. But I yearn.
*uh, not literally… unless of course necromancy or timelines in which case sure, literally!
May I recommend the grandmaster of demonic cultivation? The protagonist basically ends up on a merry go round of salvation and damnation because he’s one of, like, 3 people in his generation who have a moral compass instead of knee-jerk loyalty to their in-group.
“Look at Sizhui.”
Lan-zongzhu’s eyes immediately drift towards him, his expression concerned.
“You, your friends, our uncle, all conspired to kill his entire family in cold blood.” Zewu-jun stiffens, “You now have the honor of claiming him a Lan because Wei Ying refused to submit to you.”
Zewu-jun goes pale.
-When has silence saved anyone? by Vrishchika
obsessed with the fact that loki in the series is literally avengers loki who just finished up doing a bunch of murder and evil then mobius snags him and he just fucking drops his edgy persona within like 48 hours. attacked the wholeass planet a couple days ago and now he’s like can you take me to dennys :)
loki before and after the dick made him go stupid
all this emo phase dramatics and in the end the only thing loki needed was a sugar daddy:
exhibit a: loki became good in ragnarok after being “in the company” of the grandmaster.
exhibit b; loki became good in his own show after a dilf called him smart
you know i’m right
silver-haired dilf with an air of authority
Tell us Loki has a ✨type✨ without telling us Loki has a type.
