superhero_musesDescribe your most recent POV character’s father.
Oh, I was SO CLOSE to being able to write about a DC character, but then last night I wrote just a little more of Kevin, so he wins out this week.
Hm, considering the last DC character I wrote was the Amazon Antiope, and as far as I know there's nothing at all about her father in canon, maybe that's for the best?
Kevin has a great relationship with his father, who is an absolute sweetheart and has supported his son all his life (and who follows me on Twitter, augh). One of my favorite moments on Kevin's DVD is his father choking up with emotion while he talks about how proud he is of his son. How Kevin turned out so evil with such a fantastic role model is a great mystery of wrestling. :)

I dunno. The shit hit the fan and he just. Kind of washed his hands of Loki a bit. Loki of course played his own hand in all of this, and perhaps (going from the Movieverse here) had Odin not fallen into the Odin-Sleep at that precise time, things could have been talked over. A Loki left to his simmering thoughts is a very volatile Loki indeed. I think it was all too much going on, with losing Thor, finding out he was Jotunn, and Frigga having him become regent and it all just... fractured his psyche a bit. Perhaps if Frigga had retained regent status and not put the pressure on Loki, he wouldn't have tried to destroy Jotunheimr, as, presumably, most Aesir were not going to willingly follow Loki to begin with, ESPECIALLY since he was Jotunn. He wanted to cleanse that part of him, the 'taint' of Jotunn by eliminating all other Jotunn and 'erasing' them all and therefore, the Jotunn in him.
Hah~ That moved away from Loki's fathers to Loki. XD In short: Loki has not had good or strong male role models. lol
I'm motivated (at least a tiny bit!) to write Thorki, so yay! Progress!!! Still super behind, but hey, it could be worse. Writing has been super not forthcoming this week, but I'm starting to ease into it a bit, at least. Got some more work done on my kimono panel too! But man. What a huge topic to try to cover in 2 hours...
