This is my headcanon for Loki’s metal gag. Yep.

I want in on the love.
Misha acts like a douchebag, but it’s just that: an act. When he’s not in character as The Overlord, you can see his real personality come out, and he is just a sweet, sensitive guy with an off-beat sense of humor. He turns red if someone compliments him, he writes poetry about flowers, he married his high-school sweetheart, he bakes cookies, and he’s incredible open and giving to his fans.
In order to find pictures for this blog, I do a lot of research on Misha and read a lot of people’s personal accounts of meeting him. And I have never read anything from a fan saying, “Misha made me feel like I wasn’t important.” I read things like “We weren’t supposed to take pics but he was all ‘look the other way’ to his aid so I could take one” . Or “One of my friends had managed to pay for an ‘official’ photo with him, which he quickly signed despite the fact that he knew she was supposed to pay for that as well. He also quickly posed for a photo with another of my mates - which was also against the rules, as he knew damn well - because she couldn’t afford to pay for one.” I read about how sweet he was when he met an eight-year-old Castiel cosplayer, how he showered him with attention and made sure he got to ask him his question at panel. And then gave him a free autograph.
Even when he’s not at a convention, he’s still incredibly sweet, like when he randomly met a couple of fans at an airport. He could have brushed them off or been rude, probably without consequence. But he wasn’t; he didn’t just give them his autograph and took a picture with them, he was truly sweet and welcoming to them. That could have been a horribly negative experience, but Misha made it an incredible one for them. And he didn’t have to. He wasn’t getting paid to do it. He did it because he wanted to.
There is no reason to hate Misha. I’ve never heard anything that wasn’t completely bogus, and I’ve looked for dirt, for rumors, whatever. He’s a sweet guy; he’s intelligent, supportive, compassionate, creative, open-minded, weird, and he trolls like nobody else. And frankly, if you say you want him off Supernatural and out of the fandom because “he’s ugly” or “he’s so awkward,” I really want you out of the Supernatural fandom because you’re a bad person.
Not because you said that about Misha but because you’d say that about anyone.

back in time.
I wrote a post about shipping, and it blew up in a way I never anticipated. Apparently my anger resonated with a lot of people, which is simultaneously amazing and sad. People who are completely outside the Avengers fandom have told me how closely my experience matches their own in fandoms ranging from Sherlock to the Legend of Zelda to Star Trek.
It’s funny. If I had known this would turn as big as it has, I might have written something a little more eloquent and with fewer pictures of Iron Man and Captain America being
gaywhoopssorry folksheterosexual life partners.I don’t have time to respond to everyone, but a few people made great points about that post that I want to address.
1. Fans that don’t fit into a gender/sexual orientation binary
The post contained very, very simplified definitions of “fanboy” and “fangirl,” and people from innumerable backgrounds felt left out. “What about fanboys who ship?” “What about fangirls who don’t ship anything?” Those are important questions and they deserve an answer.
I didn’t expand on this before, so I will now: Everyone has a place in fandom. Everyone. For the sake of that piece I targeted a very specific subset of fans and in no way want to generalize about the others. I could never even claim to speak for all heterosexual women who ship; that would be arrogance. Each person defines their own fanhood. The important thing is that fans respect each other and accept that different people find different ways of enjoying their fandoms.
2. Why this actually is a women’s rights/LGBT issue
Some people took offense.
I understand the frustration that comes from fetishizing homosexuality. I do. But I want to be clear: I never once considered myself some sort of GLBT rights crusader. I ship because I see interesting relationships to be explored, and because it’s fun. That being said, the angry tone of my post didn’t originate with me. It came as a response to very real anger from certain fanboys directed at people like me. And a lot of that anger comes from places that are, most certainly, a rights issue (“You can’t make [X character] gay because being gay is wrong!”)
I also take offense to the notion that “some of these characters are important to people” is a valid excuse for their anger. It implies that these characters aren’t important to people like me. You have no idea how important they are to me and how often a Captain America comic has gotten me through a rough day.
And it’s not just me:
(gweena)
Honestly, I can’t articulate any better than this why women’s rights do come into play here. Shipping is a great outlet for women:
(carororo)
It’s also a great outlet for anyone who enjoys exploring sexualities:
I’m honestly thrilled to have provoked so much discussion. People are saying important things, and I’m sorry I can’t quote all of them. So I’ll quote Captain America quoting Mark Twain:
Fangirls, fanboys, shippers, nonshippers: keep speaking. Let your voice be heard.

I thought all of the Avengers represented in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers got their fair share of screen time. But lets face it, some got more screen time than others. Vulture went ahead and clocked the screen time of each character in the film just so we could know this useless bit of geek trivia.
Hawkeye: 12:44.
Thor: 25:52.
Bruce Banner: 28:03.
Black Widow: 33:35.
Iron Man: 37:01.
Captain America: 37:42.(Source)
Where’s the ‘you tried’ thing when you need it?
awwww Hawkeye. :0
(also kind of want to know the other times such as Loki)

It’s been years since Greg’s sung anything in front of an audience. Anything real.
The Yarders know he can sing. He used to be in a band, and anyone in a car with him learns quickly that he controls the radio, singing and drumming along on the steering wheel. Sometimes he’ll even sing softly to himself around the office if he’s got a song stuck in his head.
What they don’t know about is all the times he stayed up all night in Sherlock’s flat, nervously pacing and drinking cup after cup of coffee while he waited for Sherlock to come down from a high. The flat was horribly quiet so Greg would fill the hours by singing to himself, whatever came to mind.
That’s how he found out that Sherlock’s mother sang to them when they were boys. He doubts Sherlock even remembers telling him, shining with sweat and glassy-eyed as he’d been at the time.
But Sherlock had also said that he liked Greg’s voice, and he would wave his arm clumsily, conducting Greg before he slipped back into unconsciousness. It was probably just ego and imagination but Greg thought Sherlock slept better when he sang, so it became a conscious habit that died out along with Sherlock’s drug use.
At Sherlock’s funeral he feels like he’s run out of words to say, so he sings someone else’s words instead.
