Characters According to Loki

I did one of these a while back and decided to do another one.

Gifs and writing humor and all the rest. So buckle up. Here is an account of the author interaction with characters according to Loki.

And then gets out of it again

And then proceed to do something stupid

Looking over your plans for said character

Your villain at the third plot point

when a character does something you don't expect

Your hero does something heroically stupid

cue epiness

And manages to look both sad and epic at the same time

making things worse for a character

Reaching the third plot point

    Oh my word, I haven’t even seen this show but, these are hilarious! Might I, your humble reader, make a request for ‘A wrter’s life…according to The Fellowship’? That would be totally awesome! No pressure though 😉

    • Hope Ann

      Ah yes. I should. One of these days. 😉

      • I can already see Pippin’s face, “Where are we going?” It’s the epitome of poor innocent characters that have no idea the horrible things you are going to inflict upon them.

  2. LOL! YES, this is too true!!!!! Definitely do more of these Hope!

  3. Corissa, Maiden of Praise

    *dies laughing* This is beautiful!

  4. Kate Flournoy

    *is dying*
    Perfect.

    • Hope Ann

      I had way too much fun. XD

  5. These are great, and also just shows me what a brilliant actor Tom Hiddleston is to convey these emotions in such a simple look.

  6. Bahahahaha! This is great!

    • Hope Ann

      *grins* glad you enjoyed it.

  7. HAHa, I cannot tell you how much I loved this! XD Loki is definitely my favorite villain (and gifs are so aweoooome). 😀

  8. C.M. - II Tim. 1:7

    *double thumbs up*
    Thanks for the laughs (and inspiration…), HopeAnn! xD
    ~C.M.

  9. Oh my… I don’t think I’ll be able to stop picturing Loki describing my characters for a while. And I second the vote for an “… According to the Fellowship” post. 😉

    • Hope Ann

      Ha! and yeah, I’ll have to do that next.

  10. This was so good! I’m a huge Loki fan and I was dying with laughter reading this. You rock, Hope!

  11. This is magnificent. xD

  12. This is the bestiest (and truest) thing ever.

    -Snapper

  13. Loki

    Why thank you, Hope. I’m flattered.

    • Hope Ann

      Oh, you’re not the only one I’ve done this with but feel free to be flattered if that makes you happy.
