open letter time!
(I am not actually put out; I am Getting Things Done & mainlining Castle in between, and it is in fact impossible to be disgruntled whilst mainlining Castle.)
Dear Thor fandom,
Loki is not delicate and weepy. Seriously, please stop that. I know he spends most of the film with tears in his eyes and I know that he has a slight build compared to Thor, but this is no excuse. Loki is a calculating manipulative bastard who feels everything and doesn't function well in a culture where "JUST HIT THINGS" is the solution, and that is much, much more interesting than one-note woobiness. Make a note of this, and go rewatch the movie or read some comics or some myths or -- fuck it, DWJ's Eight Days of Luke, I don't care. Just fix this.
Carry on with the Thor/Loki, though, that's pretty awesome.
Sincerely,
Aria
PS -- it's "Warriors Three" not "Warrior's Three," DESTROY YOUR APOSTROPHIES. They are not three people who belong to a warrior, they are three awesome warriors + Sif, who is too cool for this shit anyway. Thank you.

Now I'm wondering what would have happened if movie!Loki had been sent to an Earth as a mortal. Would have been "Oh hey, these humans are occasionally good at expressing FEEEEEELINGS. And that's.....novel and kinda awesome. Huh." I am not sure how to convey that without more woobie-fication. Or would it have just a gigantic trains wreck? IDK.

And ... hmm. On the one hand, even stripped of his powers I think Loki would be able to function fairly well; if he wasn't able to vanish or illusion himself out of situations, he'd probably get extra good at being clever and manipulative, and he would get right on acting out Earth customs and understanding Earth science. On the other hand, if Odin actually banished him, it might break Loki a little -- so it might already be too late for him to enjoy or reciprocate functional human emotion.
Aaaand I want to write this now. FUUUUCK.

Whoops.
A decently clever human looking at him longingly wouldn't magically fix broken!banished!Loki, that's for sure.

I wonder if anything would fix broken!banished!Loki? Probably Thor coming down and helping him get back, but if Thor isn't banished I'm not sure how much of a jerk Thor stays. FF IT IS A LOKI FIC I DON'T WANT IT TO STILL BE ABOUT THOR'S STUPID EMOTIONAL ARC.

....this sounds familiar.

And yeeeeah, any story about Loki is also about Thor. I am glad that any story about Thor is also about Loki, though, or it would be horribly unfair.
