join the Thor fandom. Love his braided hair.

Aw, thanks! Re: the braided hair, I think there’s some fanon about the braids symbolizing smtg, too. Can’t find it. But hair in general was a big deal… CONVENIENTLY I just saw this post with this comment on it:

@benevolentloki writes:

See the thing is in Norse culture long hair was a sign of status. When the vikings brought back slaves they would cut their hair off. It was a symbolic loss of freedom. For Thor, royalty, the crown prince to have his hair cut off it was a sign of loss and humiliation.

That person might know more about the meaning behind braids specifically in Norse culture, and is invited to comment on this post 😀

To make this a VC-related answer too bc you know I can’t help myself… Claudia is shown with her hair up when she is trying to look more like the adult she is inside, and cutting it won’t do in movie!IWTV bc it would instantly grow back.

[X I went to the trouble of giffing out FOUR clips for this memeything it behooves you to at LEAST check it out]

BUT ANYWAY I loved Ragnarok! All the not-Thor characters were great, too. The Grandmaster, Valkyrie, HELA OMG, Hulk, LOKI, Heimdall! So much humor and a lot of heart. Of course, as a child of the 80s the film spoke to me aesthetically, too.

The Thor fandom ppl are some of the kindest and most welcoming fandom ppl I’ve met on this site! I could never abandon my VC ppl but… Thor… *dreamy sigh* 

💖🍆VAMPIRE CHRONICLES KINKMEME IS UP🍆💖

       For all those requests you were too shy to make of Santa. 😀

Finally, the Vampire Chronicles fandom has another kink meme!

                                  >>>THIS WAY, MY DUDES.<<<

But what is a kink meme?? I hear you clamour.

A kink meme is a post on a blogging platform. In the comments of that post, fic and art requests are made and filled ANONYMOUSLY.

Does it have to be kinky? Nope! Kink memes originated to have a safe anonymous space for people to explore kinky tropes. But they always branch out to fluff, gen, etc. If you just really want a coffee shop AU, go for it!

There’s no min. or max. word count for fic, no deadlines, and you can prompt and fill as many and as few times as you want. It’s a free for all!

I’ve made a guide post for those who are new to kinkmemes, if you want some explanation of how to prompt and fill. It’s here.

Happy memeing!!! I’m super excited!!!

vcsecretgifts:

(ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧  All assignments have been sent out!* Now do your thing! #All the fanworks

image

As a reminder: if you didn’t sign up but would still like to participate, anyone is welcome to submit gifts to the VC fandom in general, and we will post those along with the assigned gifts ;D

*Let us know if you didn’t receive your assignment, tumblr eats messages sometimes.

(Givers/Santas: let us know if you have any questions. If you are unable to complete your gift for any reason, no worries! Just let us know asap so we can assign it to another Giver/Santa.)

I see that Louis can kind of be a bit of crybaby sometimes. So please tell him I’m more than willing to call him a WAAAAAAAHbulance for him anytime, any day. Lol. :D

♠ (Louis) *sighs* “Lestat cries far more than I do, it’s been thoroughly accounted for in his voluminous memoirs… his “wahmbulance” treatment consists of an enormous amount of ego stroking and retail therapy. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

I just wanted to pop in and remind all the fic writers & RP’ers out there that you don’t have to listen to the black & white thinkers trolling this website who want to shit on you every time you bring up something sympathetic about your character.

It’s okay for “bad” characters to have sympathetic traits. It would be boring as fuck if they didn’t. It’s unfortunate that so many people out there are too salty and dense to understand a complex character, but don’t let it get you down!

If you’re a good fic writer or RP’er it’s really important to take all facets of the character’s personality into consideration. You aren’t here to write a 2D ebul cartoon. You should be taking their motives into consideration. You should be figuring out their demeanor. If they are a charming sociopath, you should write them as being charming. That’s the whole fucking point!

Fic writers and RP’ers engage in fandom in a way that unwraps characters and tries to figure out what makes them tick. We want to figure out why they feel the way they feel, we want to figure out their temperament, we want to understand. It’s an exercise in creative empathy and there are a lot of people out there who just don’t have a creative bone in their body. They’re gonna try to shout you down for acknowledging that a character can have gray morality or be a dichotomy in some way and I hope it doesn’t discourage anyone. 

So get outta my face with all this purity politics bullshit, plz & thank you. Acknowledging conflicting pieces of your character is a responsible and creatively intelligent thing to do, and people who don’t get that can eat a dick.

Don’t let it stop you!
