Mmm, so firstly, @astrawalk. Ryder is so great. So like, Ryderās on hiatus at the moment, but thatās grand because Iām gonna gush anyway - Ryderās Thor is just written so fucking well. Thereās so much complexity behind him, and what I love most of all is the way that the mythology is incorporated and quietly woven in with the canon elements - itās just masterfully done, and I adore it. Thor is a deeply flawed, difficult man, but more than that, he is a god. This is a wonderful facet of this character: I think that Ryder and Lilie both just, really command that focus that these are not just people, they are divinities, and there is a lot of strength and power in that, but there is also a necessary distance, a superiority. It makes Thor so interesting, to view him from that perspective, and to see how distinctly not-human he is and how that affects his person, and I adore it.
@misunne, Ryderās other half, is just... *kisses fingers like an Italian chef* Everyone and their mum knows that I donāt really do canon Loki myself, and that I donāt follow many canon Lokis, but I think my favourite thing about Lilie is how she incorporates these mythological elements and yet, Loki still feels distinctly like his MCU-canon counterpart, with this wonderful line betweenĀ āfun chaotic wine momā andĀ āterrible conquerorā, and I just love that. I really love Lilieās considerations of Lokiās emotional vulnerabilities and the way heās affected by the world around him, too, just !! You know.
