First off, copy/pasting my posts from tumblr of what I bought when at the anime convention A-Kon early last month.






A-Kon swag part 1: blind-box toys and Square Enix keychains!

I’m usually really lucky about picking blind-boxes with the exact figure I want, but this year my luck was 50/50. Wanted both Kakashi and Echizen (pics 2-5), Sai wasn’t my first choice but I didn’t mind getting him (pic 1), and I definitely woulda preferred to get Alto or Sheryl or Ranka over Klan Klang for the Macross Frontier one (pic 4). (But I haven’t seen too much MF, so maybe I’ll like her more in the future.)

Bought Leon and Tifa since I love these little keychains so much. Last year I got Cloud and Sephiroth.







A-Kon swag part 2: artbooks, stationary, manga, prints & buttons.

Artbooks I picked up were Hyrule Historia, Shigenori Soejima art works 2004-2011, Blades, Salty Dog VI, and Yamane Ayano’s Viewfinder one.

The stationary I pretty much decided on what would be fun to send out to friends lol. (Bot! Hopefully I can send you a letter soon!) Of course I had to have the paw pad notepad orz

Buttons are by teaat2pm (Meelo’s, aaaaaa! Others are Homura and Howl.) and all the prints (one large, 4 postcard size) are by an artist I failed to get the name of, sobs. Later on I’ll be looking through the A-Kon booklet for an artist list and hopefully figure out her name.

And then that stack of manga/etc are mostly volumes I needed to complete collections.





And lastly, A-Kon Swag part 3: Sky High and Kotetsu figures (Tiger & Bunny), Alpaca plushies, t-shirt that I found completely hilarious, and Kyubey plushie (SCREAMING).

Funny story about the alpacas—I’m going to sound a bit elitist with this. I was so excited to see so many plushies sold there that I quickly snapped up a small one (the pink one here). Once the haze of OMG ALPACASSSS faded I realized: oh hey, this isn’t an Arpakasso brand plushie! It was one of those Hong Kong knock-offs lol. It should have been obvious with the sort of paper tag it had. But it was $12 (which should have been ANOTHER sign haha) and cute, so whatever.

But you can be damn sure I checked every other plushie I looked at for signs it was a legit Arpakasso. I AM AN ARPAKASSO SNOB I GUESS. The big one is a genuine Arpakasso btw. It is wonderfully big and fluffy, and aaaaaaa I cuddled it the entire way home.



Once again I completely failed at keeping up my monthly medialogging, but whatever

And I failed mostly because I decided to add a 'fic' category to my medialogging and--at about the same time--got rapidly sucked into Thor & Avengers fandom and ended up reading A SHIT TON OF FIC OMG. The following isn't everything I read during June, but ones that I thought I . Which is a lot. A lot of smutty fanfic mostly.

Still trying to figure out how I'm going to go about organizing how I type these out, so excuse the mess. Mostly copying what either fic prompts asked for of what author's themselves provided for a summary.

falling like a flip of a coin (Thor fic, Thor/Loki, AU where they're reborn as mortal and fall in love)

An Unexpected Confession As Seen by Tony Stark (Avengers fic, thok/loki, prompt: "During a battle with the Avengers, Loki confesses that he loves Thor. Awkward silence imminent.")

Candied (Avengers fic, Thok/Loki, prompt: So here's the thing Loki has recently discovered the existence of lollipops and he is obsessed with them to the extent of starting to obscenely lick and suck on them between battles with the Avengers.)

Halo (Avengers fic, Tony/Loki)

No One Else Here Thinks This is a Good Idea (Avengers fic, Thor/Loki, Thor and Loki stop fighting and go get a beer. And then Loki joins the Avengers and everyone lives happily ever after. )

Off the Record (Avengers fic, Tony/Loki)

The Price We Pay (Thor fic, When Loki vanishes there are rumours he defected to the enemy and both Odin and Thor denounce him publicly. The truth is that Loki is being held and tortured but he doesn’t give in, trusting that his family will come for him.)

untitled gen fic (prompt: Several days/weeks as a mortal can't change the centuries of bad habbits, so after Thor becomes the king, he quickly shifts back to his previous cocky, self-absorbed, brash, dangerous self. I want a fic where people, especially W3, realize that while Loki was not the rightful heir, he would have done a much better job and that their bias against Loki blinded them from seeing this before. )

The five times Loki got punished for causing mischief and the one time he got in trouble for something he didn't do.

Frame of Reference (prompt: The fact is Laufey is apparently male...so how about some Jotun-gender-bending/gender-blending? Laufey/Odin, Laufey/Loki, or Loki/Thor.)

Words That Break (Avengers fic, thor/loki)

Changed (Avengers fic, Thor/Loki-ish, Loki reflects on his actions on Midgard, and Thor offers him a kindness.)

Masked by Hate (Thor fic, thor/loki, Loki’s punishment for his attack on Midgard has been decided - a hundred years of torture. But that’s fine by him; he has his hate to fuel him, and as long as he can retain all that rage, he’ll come through well enough. Of course, that’s assuming Thor, with his seemingly endless well of forgiveness, doesn’t ruin everything…)

Mama I'm Strange (Thor fic, Loki gen, Snapshots of Loki's life where Thor, though a good person, is an insensitive brute who dissapoints Loki time and again when he needed support, comfort, or just wanted to share something precious with his brother. Loki slowly loses hope. Basically the slow destruction of Loki's unconditional faith and love for Thor.)

Tethered with ties as thick as blood (Thor fic, Loki/Horse (in the past), Sleipnir. The fact that Odin uses his son as his stead hurts Loki. But Odin made him swear to never mention the "Horse incident" so he can't do anything about it. The others still mock him for it. Loki sneaks into the stables to visit Slepnir once a week.

Spoils of War (thor fic, AU, thorki, A Jotunheim born-and-raised Loki becomes Thor's prize after a war with the frost giants.

Of Barbarians and Scholars (barbarian!au, thor-verse)

the moment's sweet but it's all wrong (Thor fic, Thor/Loki, Afterwards, things appear to carry on as usual. They don't, of course, because you can't be fucked by your brother and carry on as if nothing's changed. NC-17)

Trajectories (Avengers fic, Thor/Loki, Locked in Asgard, Loki awaits his fate. He has failed. They will come for him, he thinks. But he is wrong, they come for Thor. “Unimaginable pain,” It said. And it was right.)

Someone you once knew (Thor fic, AU, Thor/Loki, For his chaos on Midgard, Loki's memory has been wiped clean, he has been stripped of his powers and sent to live as a mortal. Thor aches for him.)

Amateur Theatrics (Avengers fic, gen, In which Thor’s primary problem-solving method (a mighty blow from Mjolnir) fails to have the desired effect on a magical artifact, and his secondary method (a mightier blow from Mjolnir) proves to be actively disastrous.)

Unlikely Praise (kid!Loki)

Second Chance (Journey into Mystery fic. Tired of Loki's treatment by the others, Thor leaves Asgard with his brother in tow, determined to give him a proper childhood. And what childhood is complete without a trip to an amusement park?)

Borne Fruit ( A rewrite of the scene in The Mighty Thor #6 where Thor apologizes to Kid Loki for choking him.)

Darkness, Flooded in Light (Thor fic, AU, Loki gen, Loki falls.

Red, Blue, and Gold (Thor/Loki, AU, "Loki and Thor get married because of reasons that are not love [...] and are now ready for their wedding night. Under Loki's heavy formal clothes are piercings and close-fitting jewelry, so that he's decked out for sex. Thor didn't expect it at all; apparently it's a Jotun tradition, and he's shocked by how turned on he is.")

Slow to Anger and Abounding in Love (‘So in the comics, Loki puts an end to Balder's pacifism by luring him into an ambush. I'd love to see a fic where some big buff Asgardian warrior is constantly flirting with Loki and totally crossing the line with the suggestions he's making. The Warriors Three are like, "Hey Balder, aren't you going to do anything about that guy hitting on your boyfriend?" So Balder tries to have a word with the chap, who thinks this is a hilarious example of why Balder's too much of a pussy for Loki. Then, the guy goes way too far with Loki [...] Balder lays the smackdown on this bastard then drags Loki off for sexy claiming and reassertion of his dominance.’)

when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory (au, thor/loki, Loki hurtles through time and space in order to land back in Asgard after falling into the void. Now if only this wasn't a different time and this would just stop happening, then everything would be great. Life would be back to normal, complete with him pining after Thor and his brother awkwardly fending off his advances.)

Walking in Shadows (Journey Into Mystery ficWhen Thor is abducted by a mysterious foe, Sif and the Warriors Three go to the rescue, with the help of Thor's now much-younger brother. But how far can you trust even a child trickster?)

Patiently (Part 3 of Stone series, in-progress. Steve has a thing for Tony, ever since screwing him into a mattress two months ago. The problem is that Tony is marrying Pepper. The other problem is that Steve is unhappy in the incomprehensible present, overwhelmed, and growing steadily more depressed. To top things off, Thor is back on Earth - and he's brought his brother with him. In which Steve battles the depression, tries to do the right thing, and suffers in silence.)

Lightning Strikes on Command ( When the very last thin wisp leaves his body, Loki sags against the bonds. The guards remove the chains and he nearly collapses on the floor; he’s harmless now. Mortal. Loki spares a moment’s glance upward at Odin, summoning the last of his strength into a glare so vitriol and poisonous – green demanding the return of that which was just stolen, millennia of magic that was his by royal birthright all taken for Odin’s own purposes in an instant. Nothing but a thief and a liar.)

Doomed to Repeat It ( A storm in Asgard brings Thor face to face with a fifteen-year-old Loki and his arrogant, entitled past self. Thor has to wrestle with whether or not he should try to correct old mistakes... and figure out WHY they've been transported a thousand years into the future.)

For the Heart (Steve and Tony (and The Avengers!) from the movie!cast + child!Peter Parker with a very AU backstory involving genetic experimentation aboard an abandoned space station (but that doesn't--strangely enough--feature all that heavily).)

For Old Time's Sake ( A private moment between brothers amidst the chaos of war. A give-and-take, a fight for dominance and a plea for the truth. Except Thor will always lose, and Loki will never admit to anything. Set duringthe Avengers movie)

The Demons Came Rushing Out ( Loki finds him first. Thor comes pouring down from the sky like an angry rain, hand outstretched to grab him, but Loki gets him first.)

The Kings (In an AU where Loki does not fall into the abyss, Odin leaves the brothers to decide their fate -- and Asgard's. When Thor offers the throne to Loki, in exchange for control of their relationship in private, Loki can't refuse.

Reunited with his brother as his old self, they head back to Earth to join forces with the rest of the Avengers, wreaking havoc and forging new friendships along the way. In which Loki is a BAMF who everybody ends up loving and Coulson lives! Thor/Loki Steve/Tony Bruce/Clint/Natasha LokiCentric)

There May Be Better Brothers (But You're the Only One That's Mine) (overprotective Loki and hurt!Thor)

We'll Always Have Paris (The One Where Loki and Steve Might Be Friends (sort of) part 1. Thor and Steve have a conversation about a certain guest. sorta steve/loki)

Morning After (The One Where Loki and Steve Might Be Friends (sort of) part 2. It was just dinner. Really.)

Missing (The One Where Loki and Steve Might Be Friends (sort of) part 3. Thor's trying to cope with Loki being floors away, and still so much further than that.)

My Returning The past is a cracked window through which each of us sees differently. Thor would go to great lengths to open the door of the present, but will Loki bend to such desperate measures? If everything goes according to plan, they'll have plenty of time together to figure it out.)

worse than i've ever been ( Loki is afraid of a lot of things. At the top of that list is losing Thor, being cast aside by him, for whatever reason.)

Ale to the King (For some reason Thor never seen Loki when he's drunk (maybe Loki simply never get drunk fearing he might 'lose control' or something..) so it takes him and everyone around him by surprise When he sees Loki turns to an adorable giggling mess. (Loki is depressed/Thor drags him to a party, you decide why he got drunk at the first place) bonus points if Thor is extremely turned on to see his brother acts so differently and Loki spill personal things about his feelings towards him. plus lazy hot sex happens)

Don't Leave Me the Way I Am ( He wished he could use Mjölnir as a blacksmith would, hammer himself out until he was shining and straight. Thor discovers he is gay as he grows up but guiltily hides it until he falls for his brother.)

One to Grow On ( Phil Coulson, kindergarten teacher at S. L. Shields Elementary School, a wealthy, upper-middle class suburb has just gotten his new class of students. Like every class he has, they have their ups and downs, and life is never dull. Phil does his best to give all his kids a good foundation, and help out those who need a little extra from him. And if things sometimes get a little crazy, well, he's used to that.)

Shallow Grave (Journey Into Mystery fic, kid!Loki & Thor. Thor finds Loki after his return to life. He's been gone too long.)

It's Good to Be King (Thor fic, Part 1 of Brotherly Love series. NC-17. “Then rise,” Loki quipped, “and let me serve you.”)

With Sparkles (Part 2 of Brotherly Love series. NC-17. “Blue,” he’d say. “You had to get blue, didn’t you?” Thor wondered what he’d reply to that. Perhaps, “It’s more of a cerulean, really,” or, “It was the only color they had,” maybe even, “It’s not just blue, it’s got some glitter in it, if you look,” but never the real reason, never, “Because it reminded me of your cock.”)

Bend Me, Break Me (Part 3 of Brotherly Love series. NC-17. “You like this, Thor,” Loki hissed. “Being filled and stretched like a whore.”)

Indelible (Part 4 of Brotherly Love series. NC-17. Thor understood now. His brother had come from battle—power-mad and still riding the rush of combat. He needed to mark and claim, to assert his prowess and relieve the tension and aggression still burning in him, the fire barely caged by his ribs, and so he had come to Thor, to someone he could scratch and bite and use and someone who would be able to withstand it.)

The Weather Outside (Part 5 of Brotherly Love series. NC-17. “Always you fight me,” Thor said. “I’m beginning to think you enjoy it.” Loki bared his teeth in a wolf’s grin, and bucked up again, leaving his hips pressed against Thor’s for a moment to let him feel how much he was “enjoying” the struggle. “Whatever gives you that idea?”)

Whipping Boy ( Odin must find a way to teach Thor humility, and he must find a way to teach Loki to be more than his brother’s shadow. The solution that comes to Odin is both fitting and terrible. He will make Loki Thor’s whipping boy. NC-17, thor/others, loki/others, fandral/loki, eventual thor/loki)

Blues and Heavy Metal (An injudicious adventure leads a young Thor and Loki into Jotunheim, where a Jotun 'curses' Loki. eventual Thor/Loki)



I don't know, it seems pretty neat to note down my fic tastes in the future. Like: what fandoms am I really into per month; Do I go back to really old fandoms; do I have months where I don't read smut??
