Merry Xmas all. I've been quiet but I'm still very much here. It's still all Loki, all the time with me. I've been reading, reading, reading. I've been talking and thinking too. There's so much there, you know how it is when you're into a complex fictional character.
Still, I realized something tonight. I think the tipping point, the thing that really hooked me on Loki (movies, natch), might have been his leathers and armor. Yes, I am shallow. I have such a thing for the cool badass leather duster hung with weapons look. I realized this because I recently read this looong story:
Bend Around The Wind which is basically Tony and Loki as Space Pirates. Viking Firefly actually. They are oh so badass and they are wearing armored up leather that they've forged and sewn and decorated and big guns and knives and the whole bit and I cannot get those images out of my head.
Sure Tony and Loki generally are all kinds of a complicated beautiful psychological mess but it's the leather and armor that just seals the deal. Where do I request art?
