First post of 2020

First post of 2020

In my country, the beginning of January often is described with: "Falling a in a deep black hole.." However it wasn't that heavy for me, I notice that the new year came with new things, new feelings and a lot is going on within and around me. It resulted in me having less time and motivation to update my blog. Also to gain me some experience, I started with a new job this week so things kind of need to be settled down at this point.

But that doesn't mean that I have neglected all my writings for the past few weeks. I've updated both my Loki and The Lion King fanfiction with another chapter. Okay, the Loki story I wrote a few years ago, so that one just needed some editing. But for Scar's Reign I had some new inspiration that I needed to write down.

Links to those stories:

A Loki Novel Part 1
Chapter 8: Tom's Pancakes, Chris's Eggs and Loki's Rage

(Okay I don’t know if Tom & Chris are such good eaters, but it was fun to write xD)

 “After Chris had spent the early morning to do some stretching and work-outs, Tom greeted him and together they decided to do something about their growling stomachs. Since they hadn’t eaten much yesterday, the both of them highly needed to get some food, so they simply followed the scent of freshly baked bread and pan cakes. Finding the table full of delicacies, obviously didn’t took them very long. The table already seemed to be discovered by Owen. Chris took a few eggs and Tom‘s heart probably started to beat faster when he took a bite from a pancake.”

The Lion King Scar's Reign
Chapter 14: The Elephant Graveyard

From this story I also updated the summary:

A dark era has reached the Pride Lands, with Scar as its king. The lionesses, the hyenas: they all have to deal with each other. This story will reveal what‘s truly happened during Simba's absence. What's life like on the Pride Lands with Scar? With his chaotic mind, Scar has got his eyes drawn to Nala. 

Also his past still haunts this black maned lion. And how's Scar holding up as king himself? Every day there‘s the chance of him or one of the hyenas spilling their secret out in the open. But there‘s one other lion who knows the truth: Zira. Scar and Zira have a rather unpleasant history together and also the hyenas are wondering if he still stands on the same page as they are. While Scar is worrying about his future and the 'ghosts' of his past, Zira and the three hyenas are secretly plotting against him. Does Scar have anyone left on his side or has he, with his actions of the past, created his own Lion Graveyard?

Is Taka still hidden somewhere inside or is our pal truly destined to be doomed? (based on The Madness of King Scar & A Tale of Two Brothers) I work with the italic font to reveal a character‘s thought.

I showed a small part of the Loki story, so here's the beginning of the chapter:

Quotes

I thought it's never too late to share some January inspiration, so here are a few inspiring quotes:

Here's a photo I made last week:

No, the picture is not edited in black & white. I was watching two squirrels chasing after each other in the trees (camera couldn't catch them). Due the light the trees looked like they were black. What's the message of this photo? Perhaps it meant: 

"Not everything always is that black & white like it seems." 

Isn't that a perfect quote to end this post with? It could be, but I want to end the blogpost with the following:

Robert Downey Jr. as Dolittle!

In my second blogpost (unless Tom Hiddleston will post a selfie of him as Loki on the set of the Loki series before the weekend) of the year I'm going to do some writing I absolutely love too, namely: blogging/reviewing films! As a animal lover I am definitely looking forward in seeing Dolittle, from which Robert Downey Jr. (definitely one of my favorite actors too!), has made me excited for with all the promotion he did on his social media.

Have you seen Dolittle already or are you going to see it? Feel free to share your opinion about this movie in a comment on my next blogpost that will be named: Dolittle Movie.


Love,

World Animal Day

World Animal Day

Isn't it animal day all day?

It's World Animal Day. A day that still is a very popular thing among the media, which isn't bad because who doesn't want to see all those cute animal pictures on the internet? I bet for most animal keepers it's animal's day for their pets everyday!

So it is for our dogs as well. I don't think our Labrador nor our old Poodle/Maltese (during times he's awake) will notice any difference today. They are being spoiled with love everyday.

I had already dropped two puppy faces in the picture above, let‘s show a little more of our dogs! The happy faces* we see when coming home now + the faces (in grey) we still see in our memories everyday! 

The picture above is the cover of a photo-book I made a while ago. In the book I had collected almost all photo's I've had of our dogs + I scanned in the photo's of the two dogs I grew up with, who aren't with us anymore. 

I think sometimes we can learn from our pets. It‘s amazing how they are appreciating the small things. A balloon, a ball or even a cloth.. I‘m not saying we should walk around with a cloth all day, but sometimes we should just enjoy the little things in life a bit more.

A thing about animals, they do not ever show us someone they are not. They don‘t pretend to be different so that they can fit it. They are always themselves, no matter how crazy that is. We have a labrador who‘s the sweetest thing but also a big coward haha. He won‘t do what the dog below does, almost touching a cow! 

A few days ago I dreamt that Bonnie was still alive. She would have been 30 by now. There are miracles but not like that haha. In a way the dream is true because in our hearts they remain to stay forever, in there they are still alive. And I also do believe that they will never leave us anyway. In my Loki story I named my lead female character after this sweet guardian Angel of mine. I‘m publishing this story on Wattpad and today I've added a new chapter called: 'The Healing Pool'.

Here‘s a small part of the chapter:

Whole chapter here: Wattpad: A Loki Novel Chapter 3

Avengers + Animals

The person I got this blog dedicated to (You know that‘s Tom Hiddleston) also has a huge heart for animals which he often shows us. I think for Bobby, it‘s Animal Day all year long too! Here are some photo's (no pap pics) of Tom (+ three other Avengers!) with animals:

Let‘s not forget about out favorite animal Avenger! Rocket the Raccoon! (No Thor, it‘s not a rabbit. No Loki, it‘s not a skunk. No Tony, it‘s not a squirrel (refs to a story I‘m writing..) )

& Goose!

‘We should let Rocket run pass him over and over, so Loki starts to feel dizzy and starts counting. Isn‘t that how they get little kids to sleep? By counting rabbits?’ Thor was thinking out loud. 

‘A: Where are you seeing a little kid in Loki?, and B: It‘s counting sheep, not rabbits!’ Tony answered. 

‘Rabbits, sheep.. All the same to me,’ Thor shrug.

Stephen shook his head. ‘I‘m glad the raccoon hasn‘t heard any of this.’

Loki: ‘That alien cat just ate my Tesseract! Why weren‘t you guys paying attention?’ he shouted.

Now all eyes were pointed at the cat. ‘He‘s bluffing to distract us. Probably just an illusion,’ Thor responded but Stephen already had walked towards the cat. Then he picket the meowing cat off the ground, which proved Thor‘s theory wrong. 

‘Its belly is indeed glowing,’ he stated. 

Now Thor saw it too and checked the cat‘s nameplate. ‘Goose. You sweet kitty kitty cat!’ When Thor petted him, the cat started to purr. ‘Tony, did you ever own a cat?’, he asked.

‘No, not that I know of. He could just have brought it here?’ he said while hinting towards Loki.

‘Look at him. He has never seen it before. His face clearly gives that away!’ Thor mentioned. 

Tony dropped a sarcastic little laugh. ‘The guy who, just an hour ago, released an army of unearthly terrifying monsters, now is afraid of a cat? Now, that blows me off my chair!’

‘Now what, wait until he poops it out?’ Thor wondered, frowning. ‘The stone than I mean, the Tesseract- well perhaps is a bit-‘ Thor faced trouble in finishing the sentence, as his mind made the mistake of picturing the event already.

‘Hairball,’ Stephen quickly said. 

* Due privacy reasons I have not added all of my dogs names.

Dear Tom,

It‘s been a while since I last have written a post. In the meantime there‘s been a lot of development regarding Tom Hiddleston, which I of course still have followed! For example he did this interview for Entertainment Weekly and he also did some promotion for Betrayal in New York: There was a interview video, several photo‘s and the cast also was present at the Broadway Opening Night performance of Sea Wall / A Life at the Hudson Theatre. Oh and I almost forgot about the poems he read for Ximalaya FM! (I haven‘t listened to them yet, I‘m sorry but it‘s on my to do list!)*

Last week we were given a highly emotional promotion video of Betrayal (and I thought he posted 5 things in a row because I got the notification on all my IG & twitter accounts!) and there‘s an interview with Josh Horowitz coming! (Josh posted a small part already) I haven‘t been sitting still this summer myself either. What is the best thing to do when your country breaks a personal record of 40 degrees? Nothing, lay down in the pool, right.. But imagine you want to do at least something. What you do then? For me the answer is simple: writing! I've gotten so many inspiration for my fan story Scar‘s Reign, (and I did some editing and gave it a nice new cover..) that I neglected my Loki stories a bit. Well, inspiration for Loki will come back later, eventually.

A part of this post (blue part) will be a bit different. I can go on and on about how Tom inspires me and how I like seeing new content of him, but why not just address it to the man himself? 😏

*His lovely selfie, Marvel Phase 4 and the interviews for SiriusXM I already posted about in an older blog, that‘s why they are not mentioned above.

I see a pattern, I just like black maned male characters..

Dearest Thomas,

How are you feeling today?
I‘m happy that you didn't sit still this summer because well, I liked the content I've seen of you lately. However when it‘s 35-40+ degrees, I hope your day isn't too crowded.. I don‘t know what the weather is like in New York, but here those temperatures mean no fun.. 

Your interview for EW I truly experienced as a lovely interview Tom! I really loved to read that you actually had gotten Betrayal for a school assignment and that you dreamed to do it once, because you got so fascinated with it. It was meant to come on your path so to see, and faith always knows what it‘s doing :) If there‘s one thing we can relay on, it‘s the universe. They never let us down!(Even though sometimes it may look like they have.) I've written you a few times and I think I mention that you inspire me, a lot. But it‘s the truth and a compliment worth to be shared more often. Your words in the interview also inspire people to continue believing in their dreams; believing they can make them true, just like you made them true. Doing Betrayal once was a dream & this year in London you portrayed Robert in Betrayal like the stars of heaven would (Dutch saying of saying it‘s was a huge success and you have performed magnificent). And now you, Charlie and Zawe have made it to Broadway! If that‘s not inspiring, than I don‘t know what else is.. I know I can make my dreams true too and you have truly helped me see that. According to the internet the name 'Tom' has meanings like: Twin, brave/good man, but for me your name also brings luck, inspiration and confidence! 

I loved your selfie. On the photo I see a man with sparkles in his eyes, a smile from the heart and a shining aura. I said: "If you ask me, New York never was this light!" Okay, I've never been in New York, but your smile was so bright and full of joy. I can‘t look at the photo without smiling and feeling warm and happy inside. I‘m so proud and so blessed to have your brightness on my path. 


Like I said above, I haven‘t been sitting still either. I wouldn't feel alive if I can‘t do the thing that fills my heart: writing! But we‘re also planning a school reunion. Really fun and via a Facebook group I've created I've found old classmates and of all the 100 people that joined the group, they are really sharing their memories and finding back people they haven‘t seen in years. That‘s truly beautiful. I've think I have changed a lot and I‘m really looking forward on showing this stronger version of myself during the actual reunion. 

I am still looking forward to the Loki Series (+ also a bit for Thor 4). Marvel Phase 4 is looking bright and I think hearing people call: 'Loki, Loki, Loki!' gave you such a amazing feeling! Loki must be one of the populairst characters of the MCU and with such a amazing talent as you are, one who performs with his whole heart and soul, that‘s not hard to believe at all! All the praise you got, you truly deserved (in a good way of course, saying someone deserved something looks weird to me when I read it, but I mean it as a very positive thing!). Perhaps it‘s goodbye Netflix in 2021 and welcome Disney+, because I will definitely not miss out on the Loki Series! 

Continue shining your light, shine it through the whole city of New York. Rock it during Betrayal Broadway! For all involved: Best of luck and lots of fun with Betrayal Broadway! Enjoy your time in NYC and in 'spirit' I‘ll be there to support you! This is a chapter of your life you‘ll never forget. :) 

I will continue following all developments and one day, I‘ll be there telling you face to face how much you have inspired me (On forehand, forgive me if I suddenly forget how to speak..), one day I will meet you myself and I‘m already looking forward to that precious day of my life!

(PS: This photo of The Broken Word taken at Dead Poets Live really takes my breath away. It‘s called "Dead Poets" but this picture is so alive. It truly makes me curious about the event. And oh, the light!)

Take good care! :)

Your sincerely,

Nicole from the Netherlands

The Lion King/Scar talk

The Lion King/Scar talk

And a little bit about Mamma Mia 2 & Rush..

This blogpost will perhaps be in stead of my monthly inspiring quotes blogpost. Writing is something I love to do and always films give me a lot of inspiration. I let my dreams lead my life. I start with my blog/review about The Lion King with showing my love for Disney‘s character Scar, switching to 'Scar‘s Reign', another story I enjoy writing. This week I also saw Mamma Mia 2 again and this movie is an inspiration to follow your dreams. Let that be one of my motto‘s.. Do what brings you happiness!

It‘s no secret that Tom Hiddleston, with bringing Loki in my life, has inspired me this much in writing (& sharing it) and in to believe in my Dreams. So perhaps it‘s not strange as I say the following: For me Tom/Loki is the Circle of Life!

The Lion King

Summer 2019: Where are we going? Let‘s go to the savannah of Africa, on a safari among the giraffes, zebras and last of course: lions! But you don't really have to go that far this summer (depends on where you live of course..) Just with one single cinema visit you are there! I think you have read me by now.., I'm talking about The Lion King! This summer you can watch the Disney lions Simba, Nala, Scar and Mufasa lifelike in 3D! Obviously they cannot escape the weird bird Zazu, the giggling/drooling hyenas and the comic duo Timon & Pumbaa can‘t be missed too!

The original Lion King from 1994 was a big blockbuster at the time and I think with this version it don‘t be much different. The Lion King already is one of Disney most successful franchises for years. The musical, which stops this summer here in the Netherlands but has been playing non-stop in London and in New York for years, remains a great success.

As for the Disney Remake Live Action films there‘s always the question whether it actually works just as it did in the original. The story of The Lion King is one you should definitely not add too much changes in , Disney also hasn't done that except for some expansions and some small things. Where I believe this version of director Jon Favreau rocks in, has everything to do with the breath-taking real-looking shots. The African landscapes are absolutely stunning to see and I particularly was impressed by the scenes that showed the starry sky. During the nature scenes, pay attention to the details. I must admit: The talking and singing animals are a bit of a strange sight, but of course a Lion King movie without the well-known songs is a no go! The intro is again very amazing. During the first part of the film, the cute cubs totally steal the show. The first look on baby cub Simba was without any doubts definitely an "aww moment". The Lion King from 1994 really is one that pulls your tears out! The expectation is that not everyone will keep it dry while watching some scenes in real life. However even though they look more real, I thought they didn't had the same emotion as in the animation. I thought the interaction between the animals (especially during action scenes!) looked epic (,especially on moments where they weren‘t speaking or singing haha). The home front of Timon & Pumbaa was designed to be a bit more detailed and it got more residents, that also caused some nice effects.

English version

Disney chose to let James Earl Jones return (Mufasa) as the only one of the original voice cast. People now are wondering: Why just him? A few of the missing ones are Rowan Atkinson (Zazu) & obviously Jeremy Irons, who with his English accent, really brought Scar to life. He even appears to have shown interest in this remake, but Disney chose actor Chiwetel Ejiofor to crawl into the thin skin of this lion. However he wasn‘t bad and "Be Prepared" sounded very entertaining (too bad they shortened the song, but that‘s not his fault), but it really is no match for Jeremy Irons' performance! And concerning Beyonce (Nala), the opinions are quite different. The new song "Spirit" sung by Beyonce doesn‘t sound wrong but for me certainly didn‘t reach the goose bumps level aka "Circle of Life" & "He Lives In You", although there is also a bit of nostalgia attached to that. By the way the song that you hear during the credits is called "Never Too Late" from Elton John. Timon (Billy Eichner) & Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) provide the necessary humor. This works out very well and Seth Rogen makes Pumbaa a popper! Laughing moments guaranteed!

Dutch version

The original Dutch Lion King is really nostalgic for me. That's why I thought it would be nice to also view this Dutch version. Although again it is not comparable with the 1994 version, I am sure that children will be impressed. Personally I had to get used to the voices but this version certainly did well in the songs. Hats off to the young talents who took care of the voices of the Simba & Nala cubs. They do an honour to the Dutch version of the song "Just can‘t wait until I'm king!" On moments I couldn‘t tell if it sounded any different than the original. Actor Jurgen Theuns also emerges strongly in this song as the silly bird Zazu. Scar was voiced for this version by Marc Jonkers. Also in the Dutch version of 1994 the voice of Scar (Arnold Gelderman) totally gave you the shivers, so the expectations for the voice of this evil lion is also quite high here! One moment, Jonkers‘ Scar sounded like an old lion, but when the tense music plays in the background (sometimes this was too loud to properly understand all what was said), it suddenly jumps over and he sounds pretty frightening. Scar’s own song is also very well sung. Against that, I am less enthusiastic about Mufasa (how is it possible with James Earl Jones in the original version!), The hyenas and Rafiki. Timon & Pumbaa are again spoken in by Belgian actors, which makes the fact that they come from another piece of land more alive.

In addition to the few changes in the story, Disney has given the animals a more realistic look to make the film appear more natural. The character who definitely looked the most unrealistic in the cartoon was (I just like to address him too often!) Scar with his black mane and orange-looking fur. That Disney chose not to stick to that look completely seems actually quite logical. However, you can still tell the difference between him compared to Mufasa & Simba. Of course the scar, from what he owes his name, can‘t be taken off! By the way, do you know there‘s a book that tells a part of the past of the 2 brothers? This book is called A Tale of Two Brothers. If Disney ever wants to make a Lion King movie again, I hope they prefer this prequel (in cartoon form!) over re-making Simba’s Pride!

The Lion King will no doubt be the cinema hit of the summer! The temperatures of Africa have already reached us (The Netherlands, 41 degrees on the 25^th of July!) and it‘s quite ironic to say that by a cinema visit to a film about these hot landscapes, you can go for cooling down. The Lion King will bring many of us back to their childhood. Don‘t be ashamed to sing along with nostalgic songs such as "Can't Wait To Be King". Go there with your group of friends and from experience I say that it might lead to do "mini Lion King dialogues" among each other. Maybe you visited the original film with your parents and you like the idea of repeating that tradition with this version? The Lion King is suitable for children 9 years and older. Simba is laughing at you!

Scar‘s Reign

I think Scar/Taka is a character Disney could have do more with. A few years ago I started writing a story a little based on The Madness Of King Scar scene (both the deleted scene of 1994‘s film and the musical version), but also I like to dig deeper into his past. This story is called Scar‘s Reign. I originally wrote this in Dutch and I‘m busy translating it, which also gives me new ideas for the continue. I just posted 'The Lead Huntress', a chapter I very much enjoyed writing. And for a upcoming chapter called 'The Madness of King Scar' I really stepped into that chaotic head of him. (I like to work with the italic font to reveal certain thoughts of the characters, but to truly show how chaotic his mind truly has become, I've written TMOKS in his perspective completely.) If you are interested in reading my story, here are a few links:

Scar‘s Reign (FanFiction.net)
Scar‘s Reign (Archive of Our Own)
Wattpad 


This is the story‘s original summary:

"This story based on 'The Madness of King Scar' & 'A Tale of Two Brothers' is, what‘s revealed in the name, about what happened after Mufasa's death and Simba's disappearance. The story starts years after that. We all know that Scar took over the Kingdom. But what happened during Simba's absence? And after that? What's life like on the pride with Scar? What's in it for the future for Nala, Sarabi and the other lionesses? And how's Scar holding up as King himself? Scar/Taka is such an interesting character to write about and with this story I‘m deepening myself into his chaotic mind. Also there‘s a closer look into his past as Taka, as it still hunts this black maned lion. Is Scar able to deal with all these 'ghosts' of the past? Is Taka still hidden somewhere inside or is our pal truly destined to be doomed? - The idea of this story actually also has to do with the fact that I wanted to be able to live the scene 'The Madness of King Scar' completely from his perspective."

Mammia Mia 2/Rush

Spoken of cooling down.. The other day it was around 35 degrees during the open air cinema with Mammia Mia 2 (if you are in need of finding inspiration for following your dreams, this one, Midnight in Paris (one of my favorite non-Loki Tom Hiddleston films) or Letters to Juliet I can recommend you.) Luckily this film had lots of goosebumps moments to cool off. Hopefully it's less hot during the showing of 'Rush' since this film with Chris Hemsworth has the opposite effect. (While I write this, I hear the F1 Grandprix from Germany in the background. The race is a bit of a problematic rainy race, oh yes I‘m looking forward in seeing this film again!)

I love the music of ABBA and when hearing Waterloo my heart just warms. Last week I also heard it when a local band played it. Waterloo, Go Your Own Way, See You In My Dreams, Don‘t Stop Believing, only a few of the songs that make me touch my heart. Also a film which concerns your own dreams, is expected to touch you. In Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again young Donna is turning the wheel in her life by with traveling she begins her adventure. Traveling is one of my dreams. "Follow Your Dreams, You May Be Surprised Where They Lead You", is a lovely inspiring quote and I got a few places/countries on the list. Freedom is important and that I‘m seeking more and more in my life. You know, there‘s so much to discover in the world, but also discovering yourself more. When you take a step sort like Donna did, you‘ll grow and you discover that you can do much more than you perhaps thought you could. Another dream of mine is having a family. Films don‘t often make me cry but all baby/pregnancy scenes hit me every single time! I once wrote my dream this way: 'My dream is to hold my new born baby for the very first time. When imagining this happening, the warmest feeling fills my heart.' (Unlike Donna in this film, I wish to know who the father is..) And I believe that whatever your dream is, you got to hold on to it, don‘t let it go. Continue believing in your dream. I know for sure, my dreams are coming true!

Listen to your Heart,
Go your own path,
Reach your dream(s)! 

An older photo of my two favorite words

Thank you 3000!

Thank you 3000!

'Starting with ‘Thor’ you took me on a journey. A journey that opened lots of doors to other worlds for me (and I‘m not just talking about Asgard). I‘d just hopped on the ‘Tom Hiddleston train’ a few years ago and let you guide me towards stations that gave me dreams, believe, more self-confidence & hope. And as the cherry on top: inspiration for writing about Loki myself, which truly feels like a desire from my heart.'

"Love you 3000!"

Front of the card (A4) I send to Tom in May

Now that Spider-Man: Far from Home (don‘t worry no spoilers, JUST FOR ENDGAME!) has ended MCU Phase 3, I would like to dwell on that for a minute, if I may. I had wanted to write about Avengers: Endgame earlier, but each time something came in between. It‘s too late for writing a review about Endgame and there‘s enough discussion about it on the internet too, so I‘m just going to leave it like that. I do want to say that I thought Endgame was worthy, a good closure. I liked Endgame much better than Infinity War, I‘m sure you know why.. In fact, I never felt the need of re-watching Infinity War and I wouldn't mind seeing Endgame again.. There‘s always criticism, but in my opinion, For both Tony Stark and Captain America Endgame did very well. To be honest, about Thor I‘m still balancing in the middle. It really relies on what they‘ll do to him in the future. We haven‘t seen the last of him yet, no doubt! And what about Loki? By letting Loki escape with the Tesseract in 2012, Endgame created an opening for The Loki Series. I think that means that everything still is possible. All doors are open. It‘s up to Disney and Marvel to use those doors and what they‘ll do with it. And I‘m seeing this positive. I trust them, but more importantly: I have faith in Tom Hiddleston! Always!

After Endgame, I've been creative by creating 'Thank you' cards for my three favorites. Besides Tom, Robert and Chris Hemsworth received one. Before today (8th of July), I hadn't shared them online yet. Tom‘s card is above. It includes 5 edits on which I edited my favorite Loki quotes in. To get them all in one card, I decided to do IW and Endgame in one edit. I will share all 5 edits in this blog. 

I‘m not going to share the text I wrote in the cards. They have a personal touch here and there, when I‘m writing about what the films and their characters have meant for me. Tom‘s card also has a Funko Fun edit inside, that I can share with you:

>Some more pictures of the Loki Stuttgart Funko Custom can be found here<

All though I made this for the fun, it‘s no lie that I would love to see Tom again in his Loki Stuttgart suit. It‘s one of my favorite outfits of Loki. I feel very thankful to have this Loki Stuttgart Custom.


Tony Stark has so many memorable quotes in the MCU. It seems that the line "I Love you 3000" has a deeper meaning. I read that Robert Downey Jr. said it to his own kids, and if that isn‘t beautiful enough: It seems like the total run-time of all 23 films is similar to the number as well: 3000 minutes!


See this tweet for more about that:

Look at the total run time for all the MCU movies. “I love you 3000”. Can’t cope... #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/A6nj6bGaNd

— Ash (@AshBoio) 2 mei 2019

I took my Tony Pop‘s and chose my favorite Tony Stark Quotes. Of course Reindeer Games, Point Break and Shakespeare in the Park can‘t miss. His line "Sorry, Earth is closed today" cheered me up after the beginning of IW broke me, ah yes Tony totally is the God of Marvel. I love his choice of nicknames and of course Lebowski for Thor in Endgame resulted in breaking my laugh again.. Tony is an important character in my Loki stories as well and I can‘t resist on using some of his known nicknames again, but also it inspired me for other ones for example: Shakespeare-sisters for Thor and Loki or Planet Squirrel as a guess for the name of the planet Rocket comes from. Tony, Loki, Thor & Rocket: a golden quartet in stories, gives you lots of writing fun!

Front of the card I've send to Chris Hemsworth

Close up quotes I chose for Thor. (The Get Help Funko-Fun is one I made last year) 

I totally ruined my own Get Help Funko-Fun by adding my favorite Thor quotes, but also Thor has lots of memorable quotes we shouldn't forget!

A small part of what I wrote in Thor‘s card:

When I first watched a Thor movie all those years ago, I never knew it would open a whole new world for me. Besides making me develop a love for the Norse Mythology, you also gave me The Avengers as a present. You know, the reason I chose to watch 'Thor' at the first place was because I liked fantasy films with guys with long hair in it. But Thor, (especially) Loki and the stunning world of Asgard helped me through a rough period and inspired me to write about them. 

I would like to thank you for all you gave and shared with us. Thor‘s journey, who I felt so sorry for after he kept losing more and more. You went for the head, yes! For the better I don‘t have a Thanos Funkopop otherwise I would have a made a Thor VS Thanos movie moment 2.0! Once you said: 'No Thor without Loki', and now we saw in what condition he is without him: I truly hope he‘ll get his brother back eventually. But I really liked Thor‘s viking look at the end, his braided beard. It gave me that real Norse Gods/Immigrant song feeling. Hope to see more Thor in the future! 

Loki

Continue with Loki.💗

Creating his card took me the most time. Obviously because I wanted to do a little extra for Tom. Hopefully he can see through the fact that I‘m absolutely no Photoshop pro.. The idea was for all edit to be a bit in the same style. In each edit I used at least one black and white photo of Loki and a color one. Also I used the same layers and fonts to make them have a bit of the same look (as far as I managed) and of course Loki quotes! 💟💓 Actually Loki has too many memorable quotes to add them all haha.

Of course the helmet may keep its colors!

My favorite!

I found some of the edits too crowded because of the Loki quotes, so for the Thor the Dark World edit I decided to not make them dominate the edit. My favorite Loki scenes are the Ta-da scene and everything involved Thor and Loki escaping Asgard, so they had to be in! And of the scenes I think Loki looks absolutely stunning is the opening scene of this film, yes where he wears chains.. Also I kind of cheated with this edit. In my opinion, Thor the Dark World also had the strongest last few seconds that ended a Marvel. Therefore a bit in the back, this smiling mischief-looking Loki is added. 😊 

Ragnarok! In a Ragnarok Loki themed edit, the picture I use as profile photo definitely can‘t miss! 

Darker movies, darker edits..

Endgame and Infinity War in one. To keep the focus more on Loki, I also narrowed down at one quote. I chose the quote that meant the most to me. The sun will always shine on them! 🌞

'I‘m happy Loki‘s journey hasn't reached its End 'game' yet. I‘m super excited for the Loki Series! A whole wide road open for Loki. Wherever he goes, I will follow!'

#ThankYouAvengers

Love you 3000 is a quote I will continue on using in the future!

And the music talk goes on, kind of. Who has not seen Thor‘s sad singing video? (This video posted by Chris Hemsworth himself.) Perhaps he‘s not quite the best singer.. and he‘s missing something, rather said: someone! For this moment: Let‘s pretend Adam from Only Lovers Left Alive is Loki. Right.. he‘s not looking so happy either! So who are they missing? Tony? Valkyrie? The Grandmaster? You? If you are able to sing without the cracking the windows and succeed in cheering them up, you've got the job!

Ragna-Rockin‘ Revengers

To relive some funny memories :).

Credits: see photo.

So because of a the Revengers being an 70 rockband meme that hit the internet like 1,5 year ago, I wrote this piece that was meant to be an interview with band members Thor, Loki, Tony & Bruce.. (I turned it into a 80/90s band though)

First let‘s check out their tracklist of the debut album:

Any suggestion for the next album?

My favorite bandmembers:

Before the interview took place the interviewer took a picture of the present band members. Apparently Tony & Bruce were jealous of Thor and Loki‘s long hair so they decided to wear a wig.. (Tony‘s face wasn‘t easy!)

And here comes the interview I wrote: (If you want to share it, please mention this blogspot page or my IG/Wattpad name: @Goddess_of_Loki)

Please, don't take my made up interview to seriously ..

Interviewer: “I‘m here with Loki, Thor, Bruce and Tony Stark from the band Ragna-Rockin‘ Revengers to talk about their new album. Why doesn't the album have a name?”

Loki: “Because every one kept turning down the names I came up with!”

Thor: “Those names were all about you!”

Bruce: “Let‘s just say we couldn't get to a agree..” 

Interviewer: “Perhaps you should create a contest and let the fans decide, just saying.. Loki, did you wrote all of the songs?”
Loki: “Not all of them but Mischief & Thunder, Burdened with Glorious Purpose,  I Do What I Want, Little Blue Box and Kneel or I Stab You are definitely mine!”

Interviewer: “Yes about that last one you named. I heard that in some countries they forbid you guys to play that song.”
Loki: “You heard that right. I don‘t get all the commotion about it..”
Thor: “At one place we were sent away before we could play, because when they searched us they found out Loki actually had knives with him.”
Loki: “I always carry them around with me!”
Thor: “It‘s not like you were planning on tossing them into the public..”
Loki: “Hell no! They are mine, I‘m not giving them away!”

Interviewer: “Thor, have you written some songs too?”
Thor: “Yes, however Loki tens to edit my songs. For example Ride Your Hammer is mine, but it originally was called: Ride My Hammer but Loki refused to sing that..”
Tony: “Brothers..”

Thor: “Also Get Help is mine obviously. It‘s kind of a duet between me and Loki. You hear me say ‘Get Help?’ basically the whole time and then Loki reacts: ‘I‘m not doing!’
Tony: “Most annoying and ridiculous song I've ever heard or played!”

Interviewer: “But you do sing in another song too, right Thor?”
Thor: “Yes, I‘m doing the ‘Ah-ah, ah‘s’ and the ‘Ooh-ooh‘s’ in Immigrant Song. We covered that song from Led Zeppelin. We already gave them credits by using the original version in our epic battle video‘s, so they have no reason to sue us or anything..”

Loki: “I must confess I did stole a part of the lyrics of The Rainbow Bridge too. I just searched stuff about rainbows on the internet. The couplet is from a really cool TV-show!”
Tony: “It‘s from My Little Pony..”

*Manager Taika Waititi walks in* 

Tony: “Oh thank God Taika, those damn Shakespeare sisters are exposing all our secrets!”
Loki: “SHUT UP, you mewling-“ Tony: “Language!” *lowers his voice:* “I can‘t believe I just said that!”

Taika: “Boys, you haven‘t used anything again right?”
Loki: “Well, yesterday when we met Guns n‘ Roses at that festival their singer, what‘s his name again, Axl Flower gave us some really cool stuff!”
Thor: “Axl Rose you mean! And I think it wasn't him, but some other dude.”
Taika: “Please, don‘t accept anything from other rockers, okay?” *Lowers his volume:* “Lord, what‘s the point of managing Thor and Loki‘s pay checks anyway, if people just give them the stuff for free..”

Thor: “When will you give us our money? I want to buy a pet, a lion or something!”
Loki: “Why? We already have a Black Panther, what about a wolf?”
Taika: “Ah I remember, that‘s why. Your last pay checks are used for the insurance and damages costs of the incident at last week’s gig remember? By the way, why isn't the band completed?”
Thor: “T'Challa has gotten the flu last night and Loki had a fight with Valkyrie, that‘s why she isn‘t here.”

Loki: “Why can‘t we just replace her for the Grandmaster?”
Tony: “Hell no! Not another whack job! If she leaves I‘m going solo!”
Loki: “You threaten about going solo all the time..”

Interviewer: “Can we proceed the interview? I've read about that incident from last week, I‘d like to discuss that with you.”
Loki: “Yes!”
Taika: “All right then.”

Interviewer: “Bruce, can you tell me more about what happened last week?”
Bruce: “Well, we played the song I wrote, -not Hulk, he can‘t write- City Smash, god this is embarrassed.. The green guy showed up and smashed everything on stage.”
Interviewer: “Sounds terrible!” Bruce: “Yes, it was. Subject change please!”

Interviewer: “All right. If you look on the internet it‘s obvious you, Thor and Loki are the most popular ones. Which one of you do you think the fans find more attractive?”
Thor: “Me, of course!”
Loki: “I have more fan-girls!”
Thor: “For how long? If you keep playing with their hearts soon they will all hate you! You kind of wrote it in your own song: Madness Over Few Wasted Roses. For example: You give a rose to girl 1, then see girl 2 and give her a rose too. When they meet and find out you‘ll get the madness..”
Tony: “Another example of one of your idiotic songs..”

Interviewer: “I actually am a bit curious to hear your opinion about the fact that most of the songs are related to Thor and Loki.”
Tony:  “I‘m glad my song Always an Avenger (Nicole: idk why I didn't come up with a better title) wasn't cut, otherwise I would have gone solo.”
Loki: “Actually Smells Like Iron On Fire is about you too. I assume you would smell even worse if you‘re on fire!”
Tony: “That‘s it! Screw you guys, I‘m going home!”

Interviewer: “Time to wrap this up. Any last words?”
Loki: “Kneel!”
Thor: “Come on, brother! Thank you for having us!”
Loki: “Hey, last words are always mine! Buy our album guys and buy tickets for our shows!”

Tony‘s solo album is called: I Love You 3000!

The Marvel Bunch as extra bonus track?

If I got some more inspiration about an new tracklist + interview based on Endgame (with assuming they all live), you‘ll hear from me.
