Honestly Iām completely over the dumb Sigyn drama flooding onto that one post I made, so this is the last time Iām going to mention it or talk about it. But jonquilclegane has been lying about me and misrepresenting me on her blog, and honestly thatās not cool. So Iām gonna set the record straight, and then Iām done engaging with these people.
ā "Appropriately toxic and abusive." Just me or does that sound like OP is saying Sigyn deserves to be abused?ā
Not what I said. I said it was portrayed as appropriately toxic and abusive. Heās awful to her in the comics, and the comics, unlike certain fans, never try to pretend otherwise. No, obviously she didnāt deserve to be abused. Sheās the victim of his cruelty. And pretending otherwise is exactly what I had a problem with in the original post.
It looks like this person has not read the myths
No, Iāve read them. I just donāt care about them. An adaptation stands on its own by its own merits. Yes, Marvel uses the myths as inspiration, but theyāre telling a distinctly different story. Or did I miss the chapter in mythology where Loki fought a man with iron robotic armor?
they had only read the comics that suited their view : no word on Loki begging Thor to save Sigyn from the Flame, no word on the āLove of his eternal lifeā, no word on Theoric and how Loki killed him to marry Sigynā¦ (that last part is pretty awful, BUT that fan seemed to think Loki only ever hated Sigynā¦. when we know it is not trueā¦)
I have read all of those comics. I never said that Loki didnāt at one point love her or at least didnāt at one point think of her in a positive way. But the way their relationship devolved was into hatred and abuse that dominated their dynamic in the comics for the majority of Sigynās time in them. Abusers arenāt always abusive from the start, and they can have moments of kindness. Doesnāt change the abuse that happens.
Them saying they believe Loki only loves men made me laugh tooā¦ Yeah. After a few vicious s*lk*es, weāre back fighting the Th*rk*es/fr*stir*n/ and so onā¦
Yeah, I have reasons for that headcanon and that reading of the character, but thatās just my fanon. I am, however, NOT a Thorki or FrostIron shipper. Thorki is one of my least favorite Marvel ships, and while some FrostIron artwork and the like is good and interesting, I donāt enjoy the majority of the content of that ship.
What makes me laugh is that THEY ARE DOING THE SAME, but with other characters. Theyāre lusting after Loki, and shipping him with their own OC, or favourite character, but, for them, I guess, itās ok? XD
Okay, letās unpack this, because this is just blatantly wrong about me. First off, Iām not lusting after Loki. Heās one of my favorite villains. I think heās incredibly well written and fascinating, and I love reading him and his stories. But Iām not fantasizing about getting with him. You can love a character and not think theyād be a good person or someone youād want to have sex with IRL, shocking though that may apparently be...
Secondly, I DONāT HAVE AN OC WHO I SHIP WITH LOKI. I donāt do OCs. Yes, I have a character who I ship with Loki, but the difference is Iām not shipping him with someone he abused and resented for the majority of their time together in the comics so....
They accuse us of having a āsweet girl turns bad boy into good with the power of loveā, but theyāre doing the same XDĀ
No, Iām not. Iām actually doingĀ ābad boy meets other bad boy and makes one another worseā if you wanna be reductive.
Theyāre telling themselves that Sigyn was not good enough
No. Iām not. Itās the opposite. Loki wasnāt good enough for Sigyn. But, really, I just donāt think they were right for each other. She deserved someone who could love and appreciate her devotion, and he deserved someone who actually likes the worst parts of him.
but that their oc/character is THE ONE for him, that Loki will love THEIR OC/character and will be different with them than he was with her.
Okay, my ship for him is Doctor Doom. And, yeah, he IS different with Doom than he is with Sigyn. Blatantly so in the comics if youāve read them. They have a different dynamic of two powerful and dangerous men always trying to get the better of one another and out maneuver the other. And the difference is that if Loki treats Doom the way that he treats Sigyn, Doomāll just treat him the same way in kind. And they both know that. Thereās no power imbalance. Thereās not one whoās trying to change who Loki is and make him anything other than villainous. Theyāre on a level playing field where theyād get each other, and theyāve got back up plans upon back up plans as aĀ ānuclear deterrentā of sorts.Ā
So, no, I donāt just ship him with someone else who I think heād be different and change for. I ship him with someone who goes with him without needing him to change or be anything else than who he is.
And when you speak to them about the Multiverse, how Sigyn might have a nice Loki variant in another timelineā¦ well, you saw what happens. Total denial, they shut themselves down, and thereās no conversation possible.
No, what makes no conversation possible is blocking someone and then lying about them on your blog. But, hey, you do you. For the record, I never said that Sigyn couldnāt have a nice Loki variant in another timeline. Maybe so! Thatād be great for her! But itās NOT relevant to the post that you interjected yourself into where I was asked about my opinion on the comics-verse.
But, hey, why should I expect an honest or nuanced take from someone who interjected herself onto my post without needing to in order toĀ ādefendā a fictional character and then blatantly lie about and misrepresent a real person. Why interject yourself into a post where I was asked for my opinion on a subject, where you werenāt wanted or asked for, and then block a person after a conversation had begun unless you donāt actually want a conversation. You just want people who donāt agree with you to shut up.
So, in conclusion...
