Thor 2 has revealed quite a few new interesting facets to Darcy’s character. As a fellow Tasertricker anonymous, may I ask how your perspective of Darcy has since changed and how your headcanon of the pair has been affected? In short, what do you think are the dynamics between the two now? Thanks, and I’d love you forever for answering :)

Sorry this took so long to respond to. I hope whoever you are you’re still watching my blog for this response, I have no idea if you’re a follower or not.

I don’t think that things really changed for my headcanons of Darcy too much, although her interactions with Ian made me see her as perhaps a bit crueler than I originally saw her. Not to say that she’s really cruel, but like Loki, she has a vindictive, mean streak in her that I can imagine, if Loki put his mind to it, could be used against her. Where before I thought a villainous Loki would have more trouble bringing Darcy to his side than Darcy would have bringing a neutral Loki to her side, the playing field is more leveled, and their relationship is a bit more complex and harder to define in my head. I imagine now that rather than being typical of the dynamics of my usual Villain/Heroine pairings, Darcy is more easily swayed towards a potential turn towards the dark side than most.
