I think that mcu making up flaws that Loki allegedly has and "fixing" them but never even briefly exploring the flaws he actually has has a lot to do with the fact that his flaws aren't the ones that movies or books usually deal with.
Because mcu Loki does have some genuine flaws: guys, he tried to destroy Jotunheim and walked over his own beliefs in order to be liked and deserving to be loved by his family. That's the hugest people-pleasing issues you can come up with.
He's so overly private that he never even mentioned Thanos. Not once. Yes, there were different reasons, but this was one of them.
His trust issues? His desire to portray himself as worse than he is?
Him ruining Thor's coronation out of mix of jealousy AND altruism????
All of that are real flaws, but the writers of popular media usually don't deal with such kind of flaws - they deal with arrogant, selfish, power-hungry characters, so yeah, of course later mcu claims that Loki didn't know how to care about others. Of course the show states he was power-hungry.
Not only that, but the flaws mcu Loki has aren't always seen as flaws by many people: "oh, so he's a people-pleaser, it's like being too much of a hard worker", etc.
Mcu Loki is a complex character who is flawed in such interesting ways, but of course it's easier to give him classic bad-to-good guy story.
i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

Due to the situation in America, I've decided to make a discord server with PDFs of the banned books.
Nosferatu's library is divided into categories based on authors, with each book having its own channel and each author having a discussion forum for you to talk about the books and the authors.
There is also a general chat, a channel where I update all the books I intend to add, and a channel to recommend more books to add.
Fuck Trump. Stay strong. Don't let the fascists win.

btw, most of the romance ones i would honestly switch out for more found family/parental/platonic tropes bc im an aroace toddler that doesn't understand romance :(
thats it for me! i dont really have many mutuals lol so everyone i could tag has probably already done it
you ever see someone so coked-up on adulthood that they've replaced every shred of interiority with a regurgitation of normative power structures

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found π There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense
#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

It's not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. Anyway #rochestersweep

I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it π like that was a pretty significant thing that happened
