My kimono research is buried in about a dozen books that I need to read. Ah~ I'm fully expecting my head to explode before I manage to read all of those books. At least it's a good way to go.

I love research. I love it so much, even when it makes my head want to implode! I just really love digging into something and learning everything I can...

So let's see... Loki's worst nightmare would probably be being accepted by all of Asgardr and no longer hated, no longer seen as evil. There's no way he could accept that as truth, and if it were truly genuine, Loki would do whatever he could to prove none of it was real, destroying whatever sort of hope for peace in his long, long life.

Wow, that's a depressing but also REALLY authentic and I think insightful look at Loki.

Perhaps the only thing worse than all of that would be for his sacrifices to mean nothing, the government becoming truly corrupt and twisted.

You're really good at putting your finger right on the worst possible thing for your characters! That's a gift!
