I haven’t done Tasertricks in what feels like forever but it’s still in my head, okay? I AM STILL A SERVANT OF THE GOD OF MISCHIEF.

My favourite kind of Tasertricks is when they both start off being really annoying to each other, and then slowly work out that it’s far more fun to be annoying to everyone else together. That they’re doubly effective as a team.  And watching the dynamic gradually change from ‘Thor and Loki’ and ‘Darcy and Jane’ to ‘Thor and Jane’ and ‘Darcy and Loki’. 

She calls him ‘dork’ and he calls her ‘minion’. At first they’re poking fun at each other, and they just end up becoming affectionate pet names. 

[Even better, the modern sense of ‘minion’ is an oppressed or servile underling. But in the Middle Ages, it also meant something more along the lines of a royal favourite. Indeed, it comes from the French mignon which means cute. God, I love languages.]

Happy Galentines to @freshbrainss​ who wanted a Tasertricks Hades/Persephone AU and by golly gosh did I enjoy myself. I wanted to make it into a gif with the apple fading to green magic but the universe continues to thwart me. Alas.

Greek myth is a genealogical nightmare – Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, making her Hades’ niece twice as well his wife – so rather than Greek-ifying the MCU, I thought I’d Norse-ify the Greek story… and then turn it into the MCU. 

So Loki doesn’t carry Darcy off but still has to double-cross her: promising Darcy knowledge with a golden apple. He gives the knowledge to be sure, but it certainly doesn’t come from the apple, which serves only to enthral her to him. Jane feels responsible because it’s her research Darcy was looking to help with, and she beseeches Thor to get Darcy back.  Thor makes this demand but a magical contract is a magical contract and Thor cannot undo it. Loki’s end of the bargain – imparting wisdom – was fulfilled good and proper so Darcy must fulfil hers too. She spends spring, summer and autumn by Jane’s side and returns to Loki as his consort for the winter. 

Darcy: I’m so cold
Loki: Yes, I know. You know how I know? *smug face* Because we’re connected. 

The very first year, she dreads it and promises herself that she’ll only respond to Loki with contempt and revulsion. But she gets there and… well, he’s got this sort of lonely nerd vibe, inviting her to play some Asgardian board game that looks a lot like it might be Dungeons and Dragons. Or Skyrim. Or something. Either way, it involved her having to come up with a ‘heroine’ to play as. Loki spends a lot of time on it, even without her, and Darcy decides this whole thing was a set up so that Loki could have some company. So she gives it to him. Loki’s not particularly tactile, so she delights in making him squirm by playing with his hair or putting her feet in his lap. And she learns that if she tickles this one spot on his back he will absolutely lie in bed for an hour with a book while Darcy uses him as a giant bed-warmer. Bed-warmers soon become pillows, which in turn become cuddle-buddies that smell Darcy’s hair and run their fingertips down her side. And cuddle-buddies then become a different kind of buddies. 

Thor comes to collect her around Easter time, surprised to find Darcy is not exactly thrilled to see him and that Loki has quite a few hickeys down his neck.

Darcy doodles from the last couple of months:

  • a half assed tasertricks comic
  • Darcy’s dress from chapter 2 of Rescuers
  • Asgard!Darcy because the last one went so fucking brilliantly. I love the idea of politically astute Darcy knowing her stuff and running her mouth on Asgard. She thinks Odin just doesn’t like her, not knowing that it’s Loki. Who has to scowl to conceal a giant grin when Darcy sasses Thor about isolationism and unchecked government. 
  • Darcy and a badly drawn Steve. 

Secret Santa/Elf update

gyoroandururun:

Though I won’t disqualify any I have/do get in messenger, please send me the sign up form with your answers via ask, as it will be easier for me to keep track of! 

Also, Elves, just to clarify: they are the message senders/receivers rather than the gift givers/receivers (though Santas are encouraged to send messages too!). I set up the Elves here too so that those who couldn’t give a gift could still participate in the fun. Elves are free to send warm words, little imagines, hell you are free to do whatever there (as long as it is nice!) but you will not necessarily receive the same sort of thing in return. x3

I hope that clears anything up! Any questions, let me know!

@fuckyeahdarcylewis‘s Darcy Lewis Positivity Week. Day 5: Favourite Trope.

I’m constantly and consistently a sucker for the Darcy as Tony Stark’s daughter trope. His whole thing in IM2 was about ‘legacy’ and like maybe I like the idea of Tony going to all the trouble of building suits and towers and multi-million dollar companies when his real legacy – his greatest creation – is already right there just where he can’t see her.
