-The first Loki fanfic I ever read was Captivation by Kaeorin on Ao3 ( @grufflepuff-writes-stuff ) and I absolutely loved it. I must admit that that was a long time ago and my poor memory only leaves me guessing at what exactly happened again, but I’m sure you’ll love it!-Halfway through 2017 I came across The Myriad of Misadventures of a Midgardian Queen-in-Training by DoeEyedDarling on Ao3 (I don’t know if they are on Tumblr or not) which is so refreshingly original! The MC is badass (which you all know I absolutely love) and Loki is not a horrible stalker or any of those other tropes, but instead a lovely gentleman. -I heard that The Tower by LittleMissSyreid ( @littlemisssyreid ) is a really really good one as well, so that one is definitely still on my to-read list! It’s not much but it’s all I have saved in my bookmarks/marked for later/subscriptions. I have seen and read tons of fics, some only the first chapter (I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I’m rather picky) while others until a specific chapter later on; and a few even all the way. 

It’s just that I am so tired of Loki being portrayed as a r*pist and abuser and toxic person who is unhealthily obsessed and possessive. Like I love protective Loki and all, and a little bit/healthily obsessed and possessive is really nice, and I truly don’t need him to be this perfect angel without flaws, but so many fics just go too far for me. Also specific kinks like daddy kinks and Little kinks and stuff like that just immediately make me drop the fic. 

I DID BC LITERALLY I READ IT AND IT HAS BEEN STAMPED ON MY HEART EVER SINCE, it’s one of my favorite rings and I wear it whenever I have to do something anxiety-inducing (so basically all the time, the ink is already starting to wear off a little bit lmao)

When Loki proposes to Reader, he says “You are already your own, and I hope you stay that way forever,” and I literally cried. It was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever read, to have someone love you so much but not want to subsume you, to love you for exactly who and what you are and respect that you will always still be perfectly yourself. I wrote it at the front of my journal that I carry everywhere the next day (that I’m still using to this day bc I fill up journals so slooowly lmao) and when I found a custom shop on etsy I liked, I had it put on something I would see all the time. I couldn’t fit the whole thing, so I put “You are already your own,” and it definitely is a great reminder to look down and see whenever I’m in the middle of something stressful (usually also teaching for me too, ha).

I went back and forth for ages on whether or not to tell you about it, bc I wasn’t sure if it was *too much,* but yeah! I’ll have to message you from my main blog, as soon as you see me you’ll be like “oh it’s YOU” bc we’ve chatted a couple times lmao 😂
