Moronically late reblog is go! Thank you for doing it up Kei - brings back good memories and y’all were such a blast. What a glorious army.
Damn you all.

Holy carp, thank you so much for the nutty number of notes on the wrong magpie photos (I am well aware that they’re all for Ami’s handsome and deserving Loki)! I’m so glad they were enjoyed.
And this is the last one. There were logistical issues re: pedestal and blood, and I had a hard time conveying to William that his eyes were closed haha, so it’s really more a tribute. Considered making it a ‘shop monster but held off…well, mostly, it’s currently a mini-‘shop monster, like the Poporing of Photoshops. So thanks for living through my Loki spam and hope it was somewhat entertaining!
Hello Mr. Magpie.*

The secrets that you’ll keep. The spoilers that you’ll feelz.
…featuring the not that one the other one enchantress and the alternate younger version child.

Requisite and dysfunctional ‘family’/various versions of self group photos. Guess who’s the oldest here! No, don’t - guess who would obviously ask this question…

I remember when I texted Kuro for a brief discussion of circlet pros-and-cons (moot point thanks to work in the end) and she very naturally in a by-the-way manner told me I would have solo photos. SOLO PHOTOS? I was just going to make grabby hands at Lady and Avengers!Loki! So here’s the rest of my solos, which I’m sure William wanted to choke me for, then the multiple Lokitude is on.
Exhibit 1: A totally shooped homage to JiM #622!
Photographer: the kindly William Tjhin | Kid!Loki & edit: M
Exhibit 2: Why photographers shouldn’t leave their laptops signed into Facebook if they don’t want it to be irrevocably LOKI’D.
Despite the height, I still managed to get a date with two pretty, young ladies. Actually, it was probably the height and eternal friends-zoneness, but I’ll take what I can get. Mutual enthusiasm and my brazenness got me tagging along for Kuro (the gorgeous Lady Loki) and Ami’s (the stunning Avengers Loki) shoot at William (Tjhin)’s place, a space solely dedicated, I found out later, to soft-boxes, flashes and filters, cheap tripods and a massive LCD to ostensibly use to reference official poses but really meant for ridiculous Youtube videos.*
*I’m not a telly person (save sports) nor a YT person so that was the highest number of stupid YT videos I have ever seen in my life. Granted, Ami is a young’un with fragmented attention span and we were waiting for William’s laborious soft-box shifting…but imagine 3 different Lokis, eyes cast upon a massive LCD in the corner of a room running an entire gamut of videos from 11 drunk guys playing Slenderman: The Eight Pages to a bunch of Dutch guys doing the dirty to a Hollish bridge. Maybe I’m getting old. I would’ve made old-people-media jokes about Stonehenge and Camelot so I’m not very cool, you see.
Kuro, Ami and William were very wonderful to me despite my doddering! They took me into their crazy YT video fold and introduced me to their world of youthful nuttiness with relentless enthusiasm like a freight train. I have been too, too fortunate in the company that Loki has brought me, because everyone has just been impeccably patient, kind and superbly nice. Not once have I ever been allowed to feel like I was imposing upon anyone. It’s stunning.
So I guess that’s why #645 happened like that, and I have to say that as much as there’re feels, I thought it was magnificent wrap-up. Maybe it’s because I’ve read comics too long and anticipate its inflexibility, maybe it’s because I liked Blood Brothers (Esad & Ribic) & Siege Loki (and I adore Lady, but that’s a bit different), maybe it’s because my Albert/Ikol/Leah was the one who introduced me to BB & S and maybe it’s because I am very, very cynical. Either way, as it happened (the shoot was delayed to the Saturday of that week), I turned to my homie and said, “should I do *spoiler* Loki or *spoiler* Loki?” and was told with a wry grin, “I think Kid Loki was in the contract.” So it was, it was so, and as such everything from this photoshoot still reflects Loki in the midst of resisting his past.
Many, many thanks again to Kuro and Ami for graciously allowing me to cut in and their boundless enthusiasm, and to William’s amazing dedication and endless patience. We took a lot of photos with a lot of (mostly William’s) pain involved, so I’m going to clutter the Loki tags until I am spent. (Hehe.) Sorry folks, that’s the way the Loki tumblrs!
Thank you for the rampant love: the likes, the reblogs and the watches have astounded me. Re: the watches - I’m so flattered that you’re interested in my stumbling about in spandex. I must warn that, as is the nature of cosplay, I will go from fandom to fandom; once I get uninteresting to you, please drop me without hesitation! Perhaps I will bumble into one of your tracked tags sometime.
Exhibit 1&2: My ex-Alfred/Ikol/now-Leah? found my Loki draft and to-do list; thought it’d be interesting to post. I did a draft to consolidate how my costume would look like (a mash-up of Ferry’s and Braithwaite’s Loki) and in the end I changed how I did the hood (no zip; worried about gapping & spandex would stretch) and belt. My favourite bit, however, is the elucidatory instructions on my to-do list: “BUY CLOTH. SEW IT!” So specific. So helpful.
Exhibit 3: Actually finished the balaclava (notice I misspelt it as a Central Asian pastry in my to-do, haha) within the week after STGCC; not much luck on the helm though since I’ve only got a tiny strand of that (4-6 year old) gold thread left. DILEMMA.
Exhibit 4: The IF as mentioned in Exhibit 2 was Ultimate Spiderman’s Iron Fist, which in the end did not share golds with Loki; instead, I ended up with these 70s action figure colours. Definitely the best green by far locally, even though it’s too bright…but then again, I am also 5 feet tall, so I guess 70s action figure colours won’t hurt me too much (more). Sorry Danny.
The week is not yet done and I am still waving my battle-banner, but here’s a long over-due post of El’s dedicated Loki army photos, for which I am eternally grateful and have fond memories of, many thanks to all involved:
Stuttgart!Loki: Bev | Movie!Loki: LeXis | Tales of Asgard!Loki: Fenfen | Tales of Asgard!Thor: ever-hilarious Losse | Kid!Loki: Kei | Movie!Kid!Loki: Chris | Kid!Loki: M
Exhibit 1: Lest you forget.
Exhibit 2: Kei is superbly sassy. I am holding up 2 fingers stating the obvious.
Exhibit 3: So glad to have a shot where my hair still looks even remotely flippy! …and I’m horribly distracted by the Emma bare-back (heh) piece. Woof.
Exhibit 4: Instill-traumatic-childhood-memories-of-being-bullied-by-thyself version 2!
Exhibit 5: This had to be in because Thor just photobombed and sucked the focus off six Lokis. And you wonder why he’s so vindictive.
Exhibit 6: And an alternate angle of my iPhone Loki Army photo. So many feelz! Thank you all for having me again, you are the most massive sweethearts.
Mischief has been postponed to October, leaving space for Everything Burns to burninate more and a haircut dilemma. Now if only it stopped growing at that perfect point!
