Except that Loki has 40+ years of cool under his belt….
I think the complaint is more in regards to MOVIE Loki. Comics Loki is indeed awesome, and the fans of the comic are mostly pretty cool. But if you check the tags, you will find very little about the comics in there. All movie/Hiddleston stuff. And, while I liked him well enough in the movies, and I love Hiddleston’s obvious enthusiasm for the character, yeah, the movie fandom is pretty nuts. Their version of the character bears almost no resemblance to what actually happened on screen, constantly making excuses for awful things he did (he’s a bad guy in the movies, accept it, don’t try to make him into a victim. Evil can be fun!) and oh god, the ships, they are so bizarre. It’s tainting a good character, really, you can’t say you are a Loki fan, especially if you are a girl, without being lumped in with THEM.

Elmer Fudd's Letters Home
May 14th, 1972
Dear Mom,
Hi Mom! Gosh, where do I start? The weather’s been good (perfect for rabbit season), sessions with my speech therapist seem to be going well (I hope to be able to wish you a “MERRY” Christmas this year, not “Mewwy.” That’ll be my gift to you!) and I’m making lots of friends.
But holy cow, all I REALLY want to talk about is this girl I met. Sorry, this woman. I met someone, Mom, someone special.I know I have a habit of rushing into things but, Mom, I think she’s the one. She’s so beautiful, she’s so sweet (but still kind of sassy) and she doesn’t even seem to mind my speech impediment. She accepts me, just when I thought that kind of thing would be impossible. She’s so confident, she’s on another level, I just want to give her everything to see what she can make out of it. What she even sees in a dummy like me is anyone’s guess.
OH, and best of all I met her while hunting, if you can believe it. She’s into hunting! She was just out in the woods and I found her—well, we found each other. We didn’t even speak at first, because we didn’t NEED to, there was just this CONNECTION. Instantly. So much went unspoken, it was like we were waiting for each other. She wasn’t shy about approaching me and, bizarrely, I wasn’t shy either, because we just worked together, immediately. We kissed! Right when we met! I love her. I LOVE HER!
I don’t think I knew what love was, before. I had a dim understanding of it, from movies and songs, and I remember what you and Dad were like together, but until I met Her, I only understood love anecdotally, as a bystander. I finally feel like I’m a participant, and I never thought I would be. Beyond that, I feel lucky. I’m not saying “I’m lucky because I get to be with her,” I’m saying “I’m lucky because I get the privilege of loving her.” Do you understand that, does that make sense? Even if she didn’t love me back, I will forever be grateful just for getting the opportunity to love her. Because I know what my life was like before I loved her, and I don’t even think I would call that a life, now. It feels so good to love her, to have love inside of me, to feel what normal people feel. I get to love her, do you understand? I get to. I’m allowed to. I weep at how lucky that makes me. Mom, I weep.
Listen to me, going on and on about this woman. We’re supposed to meet up in the woods again tomorrow. I’m going to ask her if she wants to go dancing with me. I don’t really dance, but I know most women like doing it so I looked up places that offer Salsa lessons for couples and there are some affordable ones in my area. I figured a dancing class would be a nice date. We can be close and we can talk, and we can move together.
I’ve rambled enough. I gotta get ready for tomorrow. I don’t even know how I’m going to sleep!
Love and Respect Forever,
Your Son Elmer
PS I know things must get lonely around the house since Dad’s passing, but remember that your “Lil’ Elmmy” loves you and is always thinking about you. I wish I could be by your side right now, but of course I have to try to catch and sell enough animals so we can afford to keep the house (I’ve included a check for $25; it’s all I made last week). It’ll get easier, Mom, I swear to God it’ll get easier. It’s going to be a good year. I can feel it.

Mom,
Disregard previous letter. It was a boy rabbit in a dress. I don’t know why he did it. Don’t ask me about it.
PS I don’t think I ever learned how to be happy.

When will the random vampire killings in town stop? I don't like when NPCs die, the town's so quite after that. I have dawnguard from the start, should I restart without dawnguard? I have the habit from oblivion that I go explore in the day and back to town to sleep at night. I heard they never spawn during the day, but I'm cant track time that well in-game. Also old habits die hard. T^T
I am not totally sure, but I think if you join the vampires the attacks become more frequent. Also if you finish the Dawnguard questline, the attacks should pretty much stop. If you are on PC, there are two mods you can try out. The other one adds an amulet and when you wear it, vampires won’t attack (if you take it off, the attacks will come back normally). You can find it here. Another one makes NPCs run inside when vampires attack towns. It can be found here.

LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD #7
AL EWING (W)
JORGE COELHO (A)
Cover by LEE GARBETT
AXIS tie-in!
• Victor Von Doom has Loki sentenced to death - for the crimes of his future self!
• But with the Red Skull drowning Doom, Latveria and the entire world in a wave of unstoppable telepathic hate…
• …is there even a future left to save?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
You know, I really like the idea of Loki and Doom in a sort of antagonistic buddy cop type story. Where they HAAAAAAAATE eachother, Loki thinks Doom is a pretentious blowhard, Doom thinks Loki is a lying spoiled child, and neither one thinks the other is REALLY reformed. But Red Skull is being such a colossally evil asshole they go ‘yeah, we should probably put a stop to this’ but they do it with a lot of bickering and snark. I hope that’s what is going on here.

generalfrostjacket: dcmerolling: Captain Marvel is DC. You...
Captain Marvel is DC. You know…. Shazam?
Not anymore :( He has to go by Shazam now and who was Miss Marvel is now Captain Marvel. (From what I’ve heard Marvel was suing DC for using the name Marvel in one of their superheroes so they had to change it. Not certain if that’s true or not though)
Kinda. The fight over the Captain Marvel name is long and complicated. He was owned by Fawcett, who DC sued for similarities to Superman, they won the suit, and Fawcett ended up shutting down. At the time that Fawcett’s Captain Marvel was out of publication, Marvel changed it’s name from Timely/Atlas to Marvel, and they figured it might be a good idea to have a character bearing their name, so they created their Captain Marvel. They were probably figuring they could capitalize on the name of what was at one time the most popular superhero character in the country, since at the time, no one really owned the name, the character was still copyrighted, but the name was no longer trademarked. Years later, DC bought the rights to the Fawcett stable of characters and began publication of a new Captain Marvel book. Marvel sued DC, since they owned the trademark to the Captain Marvel name, and they won. DC could continue to use the character and his name could remain Captain Marvel, but they could not use the name Captain Marvel on the covers, so his book was re-named Shazam! but the character was still called Captain Marvel. Marvel has continually kept a book called Captain Marvel in print in order to hang on to this trademark, even though for a long time, he really wasn’t very popular, and the title has changed hands numerous times as they tried to find a character that clicked with audiences until it finally dawned on them to just give it to Ms. Marvel who was always more popular. So for a long time, both companies had a character named Captain Marvel, but only Marvel could use that name on the covers. After the New 52 relaunch, DC just decided to rename him Shazam to avoid confusion. (even though it creates a problem of him not being able to tell people his name)

Religious leaders want exemption from hiring LGBT people after Hobby Lobby ruling - Washington Times
And of course, we knew this would happen. Are we surprised? Nope. But this is what conservatives wanted obviously. This was never solely about birth control, religion should never be a determining factor for employment or insurance coverage, or anything outside of your personal life.

Yep, knew this was coming. :-/
