black_sluggard | Wtf: Random manips for norsekink (Reply)

While overall I feel that Thor was a mediocre move, it has managed to hold quite a bit of fascination for me. I think I know why.

The biggest problem with Thor can be summed up in two parts:
1. Once Thor gets to Earth, nothing really happens with him besides Pop-Tarts, a few SHIELD agents and a redemption by suicide that doesn't really feel sincere. Leaves his storyline not really feeling "finished".
2. Comparatively, the film spends a lot of time on what Loki is doing in Asgard. What he's thinking, what his motives are, how he's hurting. Really, it's almost like he's the hero of that movie.

Villain or not, really, Loki was the good part of that movie. Which...is probably why my brain went into overdrive demanding Loki angst. And not just any Loki angst but Jotun!Loki angst. Because a man discovering that he's not what he seems—that he is one of the monsters he had feared as a child—is the Good Angst at its best. So I've been haunting

norsekink far more often than I should. While, for the most part, I've been able to refrain from committing myself to fic for it (unlike my ill-thought-out stint at

twd_kinkmeme, where I made numerous promises I couldn't keep), I have been moved to make a few art fills.

This one is a fill for...I now can't remember who, and I can't find the prompt, but they really wanted a manip of Loki with his mouth stitched shut.

This is sort of a self-fill for a prompt I am probably also going to self-fill at some point. Specifically, a fic where Loki and Steve Rogers are stranded on Jotunheim and are forced to work together toward their survival. I added the optional (awesome) bonus idea of Loki turning Steve into a Jotun for disguise or survival purposes (though in my fill it's turned into Loki just being a dick).

Mhmm. The boy does look good in blue.

Yeah, I've always had a bit of a xeno thing (surprised? Yeah, I didn't think so). Just be glad this has distracted me from my Hulk/Jotun!Loki plot bunny because that one...

Yeah, even I think it's a little scary.
