Loki: Beweger der Geschichten, or Loki: Mover of Stories

Imagine being a devotee of Loki’s and stumbling across this inch-and-a-half thick tomb at your local occult shop.

Imagine the despair at realizing it’s in a language you can’t read and there’s no English translation.

Now imagine the joy of discovering you can get it for the Kindle App for $12, so you can translate as you go.

From what little I’ve read so far, this is looking to be the most exhaustive scholarly investigation of Loki that I’ve ever stumbled across–it was originally a dissertation. You can read a translated bit of it here if you’re curious.

I’m always on the hunt for new works about Loki, so this is a particularly exciting find. I’ll let you know more about what I dig up from it, in the future.

Uhm why have I never seen anyone talk about these STUNNING books that are amazing to read as well. It combines old classics (Poe, Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, Dickinson) with modern, unknown authors. I’m in love and I WANT THEM ALL

(there’s like 24 in the series with titles like “lost worlds” “pirates and ghosts” “norse myths & tales” and “murder mayhem”. I mean WHAT give them to me)

So instead of waiting for more male book bloggers to pop up overnight, I decided to actually be one.

These are the two books I checked out of my local library yesterday. They are Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi and Elle by Phillipe Djian. You’ll notice I read a lot of books by Asian authors. I am a bit of a Sinophile, meaning I have an interest in Chinese culture (even though they’re current position on trans rights sucks). I did study Japanese for a time, but ultimately I decided that learning Mandarin would be more useful seeing as it is the second most language in the world.

That being said, if you guys have any recommendations for a book for me to read by an author of ANY nationality, I am open to suggestions. Mostly, I just read what gets good reviews. *Shrugs*

Currently, I am reading Emergency Contact. What drew me to it was not the fact that Choi is an Asian author (her bio says she was raised in Hong Kong), but that the book had a review on the cover by Rainbow Freaking Rowell. She is one of my favorite authors and I fully plan on hunting down all of her books and adding them to my newly purchased bookshelf. It’s a pretty good read so far, despite having a somewhat cynical MC.

I’ll keep you guys posted.

Ps. Yes, that Loki×Trans!Reader fic will be posted. I am still fleshing out the details. I have a process. Sort of.

China Loves Venom.

I don’t just mean that it’s chinese box office figures are great. They are, but the audience is also emotionally thirsty for venom. He’s the new number one dream boyfriend. All the chinese articles I’ve read keep talking about his 男友力, his boyfriend power level(ie how good a SO is) and how its off the charts. How even people who aren’t into superheroes and are just along for the ride will be charmed at this romantic dreamboat. How adorable and lovable and cute and charming he is. How he’s become a 国民男友, a National Boyfriend, ie, someone the whole country wants to date because they’re such a Ideal BF. That Women Love Venom is accepted fact. The top three things articles in Chinese keep mentioning about the film are a)the box office success, b)how popular venom is With The Ladies in the audience and how he’s an Ideal Boyfriend, and how Venom and Eddie have Incredible Chemistry and c)blah blah cast plot trailer reactions blah. I’m so proud of the goo, y’all, he’s such a good boyfriend to Eddie that he’s made himself a Publically Recognised Dreamboat.

And this reaction wasn’t exactly unanticipated. Official promo images included art of Venom being a great BF in this vein:

Yes. That’s been on the official Weibo (chinese Twitter) account.

The little stamp says Venom: Caring Protector (the film is released in China as Venom: lethal protector so its a play on that). The term 暖男 is a particular archetype of caring and emotionally available man. A sweet softboy, if you will.

Highlights from articles include:

  • V keeps being called a 忠犬, a “loyal dog” love interest archetype who is loyal and self sacrificing and values his SO above all else. Kind of like the Service in Service Top.
  • he gets called 蠢萌 and 贱萌, which respectivekey are cute because he’s a dumbass and cute because he’s a dick
  • One article talks about how you expect a monster but you get a beautiful creature with beautiful perfect teeth. Ok???? Horny much????
  • Insisting he’s lovable because he’s Sensitive and Emotionally Intelligent, and know What Women Want, as shown by the scene where he coaches Eddie through his convo with Anne in the car
  • These aren’t from fanblogs by they way they’re from movie and entertainment sites and are Articles.
  • there’s this one user’s review on the biggest chinese movie review site that talks about how Venom is so sexy it makes them tremble. I’ve seen it quoted like four times.

Admittedly I’m biased but I just finished reading a Chinese think piece on Why Venom Is The Sexiest Villain so excuse me if I’m too enthusiastic. FYI reasons include:

  • he’s played by Tom hardy who is Sexy. (Hardy’s Chinese fan nickname is 汤老湿, which sounds like tom+sensei, but written as Tom+always wet…Chinese people are horny for Tom hardy.)
  • Because he’s got that contrast of sharp and lethal on the outside and soft and tender on the inside
  • And my favourite: because he is Socially Responsible and Does The Right Thing and is a Good Boy for Saving The Earth And Mrs Chen The Shopkeeper. This writer is so horny for V???? I’m screaming.

Chinese Venomfuckers I’m so proud of you all.
