And I shall leave kudos again, mortal kudos counter!
Well, I guess I shan’t. Or can’t .
Please tell me that you’ll continue this. I’m so sorry you’ve gone through the pain of depression . I’m assuming it’s not the first time. I’ve spent many years trying to run from it ; scare it off, impress it with my sassy looks and cool job titles; then giving all that up to move to the midwest where I had boys and drugs and sex to keep it away - all the while fighting an incurable ailment that was in its baby stage - but it ebbed and un- unebbed and then I found jesus.
Haha- no. I’m a mixed minority and many of us who are “others” find it hard to put their faith in any one being - Mohammed, Jesus, the Easter bunny. But i have two wonderful, hilarious and very smart daughters they had so many brushes with bad things , I had to pray to someone. So I pray to everyone. (oh i have an okay husband. he drinks )
But nothing ever kept the depression and anxiety from constantly reappearing. I hope the literal physical and emotional and everything - al tortures that I have lived through as an infant and a teenager weren’t as grave as mine. But I do know that for some of us , even people who can’t say “oh, i’m depressed because as a child four strangers raped me and my parents had no reaction except to pretend it never happened - i think we get hunted down by depression and anxiety anyway.
I’m so impressed that you can produce writing with this level of complexity. I don’t mean I thought you were drooling, in a strait jacket. You aren’t, I’m not, and almost every person I know who is cursed with this disease is not playing out the Jack Nicholson role in the last act of “One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest”.
But we all suffer and some of us can’t stop that big gross spider from popping up and taking hold at times ; at too many times; all the time - I know there’s a spectrum.
But I have too many hornets in my brain - some brought on by a rapid gaining physical impairment - but I think they’d be there anyway. Maybe not as many.
Gee that would have been nice.
I’m going on so long here and in such an inappropriate manner - I don’t really know why but I feel compelled to do so. I’m just happy for you and for me that you’re able to play with words so artfully that it’s as if it’s happening in front of my eyes. Down to the last tilt of the head or hand wave . And I thank you for bringing me Loki, who I love , in the way one loves an imaginary creature, the very most and is pretty much the only fan fic I read when I’m really low. Loki. Haha ha.
He’s very comforting and relatable yet fascinating and uber sexy.
Thank you again, I know this is “tl/dr” but for some reason, probably self destructive, maybe not, I had to do it.
I’ll see myself out.
🙋🏻♀️
First and foremost, I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve gone through. Depression is such a painful and isolating experience, and I’m so sorry for the hurt surrounding it. As big and all-consuming as it can get, it helps knowing we aren’t alone in it, and that there are outlets that can help ease things when we’re in the thick of it. I’m so glad that Loki and fic can be one of those outlets.
I 100% agree with you—his character is so relatable and comforting. (And yes, hella hot! 😄) I so deeply respect and admire all the writers who have celebrated his humor, complexity, and wit, while also giving voice to his trauma. These stories make me feel seen in such a powerful way, and I’m so grateful for the people who write these stories, and for the chance it gives us as readers to see each other and know we’re not alone. I started this fic as a therapy piece, and I really didn’t think anyone else would get much out of it. I’m humbled and honored that you’re enjoying this story and see something worthwhile in it. I can’t tell you how validating that is and how much I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your thoughts. I’m looking forward to sharing what comes next. Thank you again, and I hope there are brighter days ahead <3
Thank you so much for replying. Really - thank you. I can say “thank you” in several languages, but I mean it in all.
Will you be writing more Loki stories?
/p>
Here are the answers you may choose from:
a) Yes I will be.
b) yes I will be. I’ve already finished 3 stories, each one about 100 pages long. I’ll be posting them by _________(insert date of sometime in March, 2001.
c) Yes, I will be and it will be an absolute copy of everything you’ve ever wanted in a Loki fic but were too chicken to write yourself.
Correct answer _
You may fill in the date here if you’ve chosen b) _____
Oh my goodness, this made me smile! :D I'm over the moon that you would even want to read more Loki from me! I have the biggest grin on my face! While this fic is the only one I'm actively working on right now, I do have a couple other ideas kicking around. They still need a lot of proper thought and development before I could hope to post them, but I've truly adored writing for Loki and don't want to stop any time soon :)
Thank you for putting such a spring in my step with this comment! Have a lovely day, my friend, and thank you for your kind words!
