Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Loki For: @winterrbuns Prompt: from [this list], i’m posing naked in your art class please stop giggling what are you giggling at AU
Loki again tried to calm his nerves, but the high pitched titters from the far corner of the classroom kept pulling him out of his calm.
He took a deep breath as the professor again shushed the incredibly rude individual who dared giggle at him.
He knew he was no Adonis, but he definitely wasn’t the opposite either. He had muscle tone. His abdominal muscles were very defined.
Once the two hour ordeal was over, he reminded himself again just how much money he was making off this. Because no matter how high his self esteem was, being laughed at while naked was a recurring stress dream he had.
He was pulling on his robe when someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned, looking down into a pair of wide blue eyes. "I just wanted to apologize…" she said, hefting her portfolio under her arm. "I get nervous when I’m around nude people, I have no idea why…"
“Your strict, midwestern upbringing?” he countered, arching his eyebrow.
She snort-laughed, nodding. "Wouldn’t doubt it in the least. Just…" she shrugged. "For what it’s worth, it’s worse around hot guys. Which you are.“ She waved her hand vaguely to encompass his entire body. "A specimen.”
He felt a blush rising in his cheeks. "I might be persuaded to forgive you…" He smirked a little.
“You drink coffee?” she asked, not missing a beat. "You could throw something on and I could treat you. It’s the least I could do after giggling.“
Loki reached for his clothing that he’d laid over a chair. "I’ll need a few minutes…I don’t believe I caught your name?”
I had started this picture New Year’s eve, after the Megamind picture. I forgot to save though and lost all my work, so it took until now I found the motivation to do it all over again.
I know many people only follow me because of my Loki fanart, but if you can, please support me and share my other art, too. Thank you!
a pretty standard arrangement for engagement rings. a raised stone is better than nothing. 3/10
a lovely, simple, elegant wedding band. a classic anybody would be pleased to get married with. useless in a fight. 0/10
huge. tacky. kinda pretty tho. but look at that raised diamond in the center. you could easily break someone’s tooth with this. 7/10
also huge and tacky. at first glance you’d think the rounded edge might not cause much damage but look at how those rows of diamonds are raised in the second view. you could really rip up someone’s face. 9/10
this one is almost elegant. no sharp edges, but it’s solidly built. you would cause more damage with the ring on than off, which is a solid basis for choosing an engagement ring. 5/10
a lovely design, i enjoy open filigree. however im not sure how said filigree would stand up to the impact of being slammed into someone’s face. 2/10
the twisting design is pretty, but im not entirely sure that socking someone in the jaw wouldnt break off those stones. it looks somewhat reinforced but do you really want to leave the Punching Power of your engagement ring up to chance? i wouldnt. two raised stones tho. 6/10, pending experimentation
HAHAHAHA holy shit. thats Five raised stones, with reinforced prongs, for maximum damage at any angle. i highly recommend this ring both for its sapphire centerpiece and its capacity for causing pain. 10/10
there’s not even a stone, its just gold which aint exactly the hardest metal in the world. just fucking stay home if you’re not going to take this seriously.
*jeweler voice*
That filigree you gave 2/10? much sturdier than the filigree tacky rings… Trust me. Those are super hollow and light on the settings so that they aren’t too heavy or expensive. (and so they don’t roll on your finger)
Also worth noting:
White gold = sturdier than yellow gold (which is why most prongs are in white)
Now, if you want a ring that’ll hold up to socking someone in the nose, may I suggest 10kt white gold (hardest of gold options, sturdier than silver, and more reasonable than platinum)
See how thick all that metal is? It’s not going to cave in on you.
And you can do this with it:
Because nothing says punching a nazi in the nose like a diamond/sapphire/ruby encrusted Captain America ring…
read this again but imagine its Peggy Carter picking her engagement ring
When I see folks didn’t like Deadpool, I’m like whatever. People like different things. I don’t even like Deadpool as a character but the movie was dope. Anyway, if you didn’t like it because it was short or it felt cheap and underdeveloped, that’s because it was. It was kinda set up to fail.
They were given the greenlight the way an impatient parent says ‘fine you can have a dog but if it pisses on the rug, I’m gonna shoot it.’ They had less than a year to complete the movie and were given a budget of 58 million when the average superhero movie budget is between $150-250 million. AND Fox had the nerve to take money out of the budget so they had to write around the money. So Deadpool only having a few bullets? Budget. Forgetting his guns in the car so he can’t use them in the final fight? Budget. Only 2 low profile X-men around, one of which had never been seen before? Budget.
And they still managed to make crazy amounts of money and break all kinds of records. I just feel like it’s worth knowing whether you like it or not because I ended up liking the movie a lot more after knowing what they were working against. Deadpool is like the indie movie of this superhero shit
Hey guys look at this damn film nerd
Look at this film nerd pointing out this massive SUCCESS STORY.
Bonus points for Deadpool making massive amounts of money despite being released in a fucking DEADZONE and being rated R.
An R rating automatically limits the audience, so it was basically kneecapped from the get-go because fewer people would even be able to see it. Releasing the movie in fucking February was a damn near deliberate attempt on its life. February is where movies go to die, ok, even the cheesy date movies don’t always make it out alive.
They didn’t want this movie made in the first place, greenlit it to stop the nagging, gave it a ridiculously tiny budget and then CUT IT DOWN EVEN MORE later on forcing several very hurried bits of rewriting (this is where a few extra digs at the studio were added, because they fucking deserved it), tried to argue against an R rating and when that failed, they tried to kill it by dumping it in the fucking release date graveyard.
And it still made ridiculous amounts of money. That’s like winning the Kentucky Derby on a 3-legged donkey; “Massive success” is a bit of an understatement.
