[D] Oo la la

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

Re: CHARACTER ADVICE - Loki (MCU)

Keep very firmly in mind the fact that any sympathetic aspects his character might have come nowhere near balancing out the shit he's done. Even if you take him from directly post-Thor, at that point he's orchestrated the attempted murder of his adoptive father by his biological father in order to a) set himself up as the hero by stopping the assassination and b) give him an excuse to obliterate an entire world and all life on it. By the end of Avengers, he's added horribly violating mind control and attempted global domination to his repertoire. All of that is actually, genuinely inexcusable, and while Loki might paint himself as the put-upon victim, as a player you need to keep in mind that he's at best delusional (if he honestly believes, say, that he was thrown into the abyss), and at worst just using a sob story to try to manipulate the people around him.

Also keep in mind that while he jumped off the slippery slope after the reveal about his heritage, he was actually a pretty nasty piece of work before that, too. The "prank" he pulled to discredit Thor cost several lives even before he went and manipulated his brother into taking the fight to Jotunheim, and he shows absolutely no remorse for that. While any speculation over whether or not he'd pulled that kind of shit before is firmly in the realm of fanon, that he did it at least once is firmly canon.
