For the lovely MissHorrorshow and her fic “Salome” on AO3

OMZ!!!!!!! This dood (Illan Riviere) is fucking PERF!

I was actually inspired to create the character of a belly dancing Loki by watching clips of a male belly dancer named Zadiel Sasmaz. I also drew some inspiration (the addition of the scimitars) by watching clips of another male belly dancer named Prince Andrew (in the linked YouTube clip, note the sword AND that he is also using the zils, or finger cymbals, that I mentioned in my fic).

Before I came across the clip of Zadiel (I believe my girlfriend had sent it to me in a chat we had, if memory serves), I had never even imagined the possibility of a male belly dancer. But, once I saw one, all I could see was Loki. The concept, in my headcanon, made sense because Loki’s whole being is about breaking the taboo in the Marvel Universe version of Asgard that as a master of magic, he was performing an art viewed as being one for women. Even Norse mythology considered magic to be a women’s art (according to the Wikipedia article on Seiðr, which is the name for magic in Norse mythology, “There were also accounts of male practitioners, known as seiðmenn, but in practicing magic they brought a social taboo, known as ergi, upon to themselves, and were sometimes persecuted as a result.” The Norse mythology version of Loki, in the Lokasenna, even taunts Odin for being a practitioner of Seiðr.). I could clearly envision MCU!Loki, while on Midgard, discovering belly dancing and viewing it through the same lens that he does practicing magic, in that he’d be well aware it was seen to be a woman’s artform, but having no fucks to give on the matter he’d want to do it just the same.

Many Loki fans fixate on the ideal of Loki as a stripper-style dancer, specifically a pole dancer (don’t get me wrong, I’m among them. LOL) but Loki’s more of a class act, again in my headcanon, and belly dancing is more about eroticism without being overtly sexual and to me, it suits his character more.

If anyone is interested in reading my fic, “Salome”,  that this lovely person is referring to, you can read chapter one on Ao3 HERE. It IS a work-in-progress, and unless my brain takes a left turn at Albuquerque, I only have 4 chapters planned. I’m about halfway, or so, through writing chapter 2 as we speak, and will likely be posting it today. I have to warn you that it is a Thorki fic, and is explicit sexually and will in the last two chapters feature explicit violence, descriptions of domestic violence, as well as major character death (and most people who have followed this blog for any real length of time can guess who dies, even though I spill the beans in the notes at the end of the fic to ease the minds of anyone who’s concerned about who it might be.) so it is by no means fluffy, feel-good fare, but I hope the ending will be well worth any sad feels.

Benedict Cumberbatch ABC Book!

Next

—————————————————————————————-

I’ve really wanted to do this for awhile, so after Fanime I suddenly decided I needed to sit down and do it. So it took me about three weeks, but I finished it.

It’s literally an alphabet book, although I had to get creative with some of the letters lol. I drew him so many times I kind of forgot how to draw him at some points haha so some of these look really weird @-@

I’ve already sent it to print so hopefully this book will be available at AX! It’ll also be a pretty short run book, I don’t want to make a lot or reprint it. I’ll post all the pages pretty rapidly, so it will all be available for free online eventually :))

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED!

Musicovery

This is an AMAZING music site where you can choose the music it plays for you according to artist, genre, decade, or mood.

The reason I’m sharing this link is because I think it is an awesome resource for writers, at least, that’s what I use it for. I’m writing a fic right now that is dark in tone and I’m at a place in it where things are mellow (for now! Mwahahahaha!). I put the slider to the Dark/Calm side of the spectrum, and it plays pieces that fit that mood. With this music in the background, it helps me keep the tone of my fic even. Later in the story, when the action picks up, I can move the slider to Dark/Energetic and that will help me with the pacing of my action.

This is an awesome music site even if you just use it to discover amazing music, but I know a lot of my followers are fellow fan ficcers/writers in general and thought you might enjoy using it the same way I do.

Anywho, just thought I’d share. ^.^

diasporicdecay: pocketostars: ancientrelic: humansofnewyork: “After this I go to work at a pizza shop. My wife and I were college professors in Bangladesh. I taught accounting. But one dollar in America becomes eighty dollars when we send it back home.” People forget, when immigrants come to this country they start from scratch. They could have been lawyers in their home country, but in the US..it means nothing. You think a HS diploma from Bangladesh means anything in this country? My mom was a top student in the country, went to all the best school and got the best of everything…but when she got here it meant squat and she was cleaning other people’s homes and scrubbing their toilets. This is why I get pissed of when people talk smack about immigrants. They at least are doing something…..heading for a goal..making sacrifices…what are you doing with your life?  ^ My parents were college-educated teachers in their home country and came to the U.S. with nothing but empty pockets, a dash of hope, and a belief in God. They also scrubbed toilets in people’s homes to make enough to provide for their children, and that’s probably not something a lot of educated professionals would be able to do. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. Pride would get in the way. THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT. Reblogging for truth.

This song will always bring back happy memories. My mom and I both really loved it, and we used to make my dad think we were insane because my mom and I would just look at each other and randomly, at the same time go, “Beep, beep, boo got the keys to the jeep, VROOOOOM!”. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
