I'm still around, everyone.

I feel like I've dropped out of the Lost Boys fandom the last few days, I've got fic to read, reviews to post, responses to reviews to write, and I will do it, I promise. I'm not ignoring you.

I have an excuse. Not a particularly good one, but an excuse nonetheless. A temporary holiday in the Thor fandom. Weird, right? I mean, I don't know Thor at all, and although I liked the film enough, I don't know why it has hijacked my brain in this way. Obsessions are weird. Actually, it's more an obsession with Loki than with the character or the universe of Thor. He's awesome, the best thing about that film, the most interesting character by far, and reading about him online, finding out about the comics, and the hints about him I'm seeing in fic, it all just makes me want more. I'm considering getting some comics, but I probably won't, so instead I'm reading fic, and writing it too. And I can't make myself stop!

But give me a couple of days to finish up my fic for the meme I'm taking part in, and I'll be back in the Lost Boys fandom and working on the Enemy. I promise!

May I be cheeky and ask for linkage to this meme?

At the start of the film, Loki seems so much more assured then his irresponsible brother in terms of inheriting the throne. And of course, his brother mucks up badly and his unappreciative father falls into his odinsleep...and then all the stuff with Laufey, all his plotting and planning...all comes down to a set up job to prove himself to his father. It has such build up, and I thought he hated his father and was looking for revenage, and sadly, its a retreat to his roots. He still looks for his father's appeal, and so much so he commits suicide by allowing himself to fall into the pit. Thinking about stepping into his skin...he must be an absloute twist of emotion and shattered ideals.

I wonder if Odin was just testing Loki. Or merely just favoured Thor more. God knows why.
