Pairing: Loki/Darcy Lewis Rating: Teen Warnings: N/A Word Count: 3,531 words Square Filled: Bookstore AU Summary: Odin & Sons Bookstore had been Darcy’s haven for much of her life. A weekly stop to satisfy her need to devour knowledge and stories throughout her eighteen years of existence. Mr. Borson has always been patient with her despite his grumpy facade.
The same can’t be said for his son, Loki. He seems to have a thing for baiting her into arguments over books she read years ago, much to Darcy’s embarrassment and annoyance. Too bad he’s hot too, otherwise she’d just walk away instead of you know attacking his mouth with hers. Author’s Note: Written as a fill for @marvelfluffbingo It’s been years since I’ve written Darcy and Loki, so I figured it was fitting if I started off the challenge by returning to a pairing I used to write almost exclusively when I wrote in the MCU. Please enjoy the fic. And let me know what you think.
Steve: Generally knocks. Unless you seem upset, in which case he will show up with cookies and a soft “hey” and straight up walk through your door like a sad golden retriever on a mission.
Bruce: Also lets you have your privacy, but gets worried if you lock yourself in for far too long. Will slip tiny notes underneath the door just to make sure you’re doing okay.
Thor: Will try to spy on you via Heimdall. (But only if he’s very worried, which doesn’t happen often). He’ll knock the fuckin door down with stormbreaker if you’re late for dinner, though.
Natasha: Would rather have you leave the door open, but only because she doesn’t want you hiding anything from her. Doesn’t mind if you close the door. If she hears crying, though, (and she will, her ears are freakishly sharp) she just might shoot the door off its hinges, demand to hear what happened, and use it to murder beat up the person who hurt you
Tony: Won’t barge in but will vaguely threaten you/bribe you/pester you until you come out if you stay inside for more than an hour at a stretch. May also ask Peter to spy on you through your window. Peter does it with a million apologies and also because Tony threatened to take his suit away again.
The ‘Little Book Of Magic’ is a seventeenth-century Icelandic manuscript, written on animal skin and containing magical staves, sigils, prayers, charms and related texts.
It is known to have once been owned by Icelandic Bishop Hannes Finnson who was alive from 1739 until 1796 and known for having a vast library containing many volumes of magic related texts and manuscripts.
thor (2011) is an interesting movie to me because i think, despite a few flaws, the reason it never really took off the way iron man or cap:tfa did was because the audience it reached didn’t match the intended audience. the intended audience was so confused by what they saw because it didn’t reflect their ideal in terms of what they thought a thor movie would be, while the audience it ended up attracting claimed the empty spaces and turned their “sub-fandom” into something that practically rejected the fandoms of mcu!iron man and cap at that time
what i’m trying to say here, in essence, is this:
thor (2011) is a chick flick
to prove my point, i went to the world’s most trustworthy database on film analysis, urban dictionary, and found a few definitions obviously written by men
A film that indulges in the hopes and dreams of women and/or girls. A film that has a happy, fuzzy, ridiculously unrealistic ending.
word which refers to movies characteristically geered at young females in their twenties and late teens. Must include: love scenes, kissing, something sad, a happy ending
A sappy film that is generally geared towards women. It is always a love story, usually a comedy, and nausea inducing in men.
Term for a movie geared for women. Quite often seen on cable TV like The Hallmark Channel and endorsed by people like Oprah. These movies make women the heros and show life from a woman’s perspective. Most men hate these films cuz they are cheezy and dumb. Pussy-whipped men like them…or pretend to.
A movie that embodies all that is wrong with the world; a movie which displays a gross over-indulgence into, and exploration of, the workings of the female psyche and the accomanying emotional tendencies.
Pornography for women.
every complaint i have EVER seen about thor (2011) was about anything contained to earth: jane, darcy, not so much selvig, thor being hammer-less and learning to calm down and be gentle, women only liking it because hemsworth is a 6′3 outback steakhouse victoria’s filet mignon with twinkly dream eyes
but i think that’s because that’s the sentimental part of the movie, the emotional part. it’s driven by a romance and the intellect of a woman (arguably two). thor has to learn to get in touch with his softer side in a world that’s a bit more fragile than his own, furthermore there’s no other steaks– i, em, i mean men like him to balance out. there’s no male audience vessel in this movie
none
oh, you’re thinking selvig? i’m thinking not! there’s no male audience vessel.
men can’t relate to this movie
oh, you think they can relate to THOR? in the words of drax, “this is not a dude, you’re a dude. this… is a man”. thor is the ideal boyfriend figure, he belongs to everyone who wants a boyfriend, all the thor stans i know are women and/or like men, if you’re a thor stan and a straight guy i automatically have my suspicions and my eyes are guarded by red flags
#THOR 1 IS A SHAKEPEAREAN CHICK FLICK #THOR IS FOR WOMEN AND THE GAYS AND THAT’S JUST FACTS #the reason why thor’s been called unrelatable for so long was #cos cishet dudes could not fucking relate to him #COS HE A KING MADE OUT OF SUNSHINE WHO LEARNS AND APOLOGISES #FOR HIS MISTAKES #SOMETHING THEY’RE INCAPABLE OF (via @spacefloozy)
You had me at
hemsworth is a 6′3 outback steakhouse victoria’s filet mignon with twinkly dream eyes
I don’t see a lie
“Thor is a Shakespearean Chick Flick” is the truest thing I have ever read. 1/3 of Thor is very Xtra dynasty/royal inheritance drama, and the rest is a romantic comedy.
I literally turned to my longtime Marvel-reading friend after the movie ended and said “You never told me Thor was for GIRLS.”
