Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Plus? Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul, which makes me smile.
Was there Norse myth in that? I only read it once years ago (though I own it) and I don't have much of a recollection about it.
Loki's in a comic book?
He's the main antagonist in the Thor comics. Or at least was back in the day. Had a really ugly green and yellow outfit with curled horns on his forehead.
I think the first fiction I started reading was the "Three Invesitgators" series.
Jupiter Jones! I deeply wanted a clubhouse hidden in an abandoned trailer inside a junkyard. Also, a chauffeur on call.
Loki's in a comic book?
He's a recurring character in Gaiman's Sandman series.

To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, "I don't think you read the book that you think you read."

Thor's, like, the guy.
To paraphrase Fezzik, "I don't think you read the book that you think you read."
You're not paraphrasing him, so much as you're misattributing. That's Inigo's line.
Yes, I corrected it immediately. Not fast enough for this board, tho.
You know one of those moments where immediately upon hitting "Post Message" you see your error, roll your eyes and groan? Yep.
FWIW, the mythological Loki came to an unpleasant middle: the gods got pissed with him and tied him (with his son's intestines) to a pair of rocks under a snake that drips poison steadily on his face. His wife (who is a doormat) holds a bowl to catch the poison, but when she empties the bowl, Loki writhes in agony, and that is where earthquakes come from.
Needless to say, Loki is fated to open a can of whoop-ass come Ragnarok. Not that any further cans would be needed, it being the end of the world, but never let it be said the Norsefolks missed out on an opportunity for intrafamilial feuds and revenge schemes.
