Unless you are saying fandom is selectively regressing Loki so that adult!Thor could get it on with underaged Loki
It's not always sexual, but it is a pattern of age regressing Loki and not Thor, which is why it stuck out.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the last year or so Loki has been age regressed to his early teens in the Thor comics, which might be influencing fanfic trends.

Oh, excellent! That makes *so* much sense. I mean, fandom makes things out of all sorts, but this seemed so random and specific.

I just stumbled upon Kidlock, and I was about to come here and ask who they have playing Young Sherlock, but, der, I realise it's the kid the tumblr's named after--Asa Butterfield. Judging from other posts on the feed, the caps for him might be from Hugo, I think. I'm also gonna guess that the matching Laurence Belcher footage is from X-Men: First Class.
It's pretty cute. I do like the art form of constructing a new narrative through captioned animated GIFs. What is that called? I first really noticed it in SuperWhoLock, which is just too cool.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What is that called?
The Future! Seriously, though, I don't know if there's an "official term"
GIFimation? GIFfic?

I may just go to one of the tumblrs of one of the people who does it a lot and well, and ask her if she knows. I've never seen it called anything, but it's done so much I figure someone must have coined something, right? That's what humans do--label stuff, for good or for ill.

Cool. If you find out, let us know. I'd like to have a noun.

So, the question's out there. She (letmesayIloveyou) hadn't had a name for what she'd been doing, but she reposted the question, and so far has one suggestion of fanGIFtion, which is a mouthful and then some.
We'll see.

GIFfic is fairly clear and understandable and not quite as horrendous. I say we run with it. We're trendsetters.

You know that hit-counts meme going around right now?
When someone on your DW Network has five times as many hits as your most popular story ever, it's... kind of disheartening.
