Things We Saw Today: Tom Hiddleston Gets A Drawing Of Loki

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:01 pm, April 27th, 2012


This is a screen capture from Gingerhaze’s (Noelle Stevenson) tumblr of a screen capture she took from The Avenger’s actor Tom Hiddleston’s twitter. Someone gave him one of her Loki illustrations. Take note of what she typed under the photo. Yup, that about says it all. Actually, she later posted, “how am i supposed to do anything ever again.” THAT says it all. 

  • A recent magazine cover article featuring an Islamic woman in a body paint veil is causing controversy. (via The Frisky)
  • The space shuttle Enterprise took a flight around NYC before landing at JFK to make its way to the Intrepid museum today, much like Discovery did not too long ago. And Leonard Nimoy was totally there to watch. (via Reuters)

  • Penny Arcade posted a video that examines the issue of harassment and bad behavior in online gaming, particularly in games that use voice chat. It offers some possible solutions that could be implemented by companies that would use the existing technology, and some simple but creative coding, to allow the community to naturally and seamlessly silence people who act out.
  • Playboy Magazine has an interview with comic writer Grant Morrison (and an interesting Frank Quietly illustration). (via Comics Alliance)
  • Becky Allen writes - On Female Characters: This Isn’t Highlander. There Can Be More Than One.

What if Poison Ivy and Swamp thing had a child together? This is what artist Axel Medellin imagines would happen. Check out some other children from superhero pairings on CBR’s The Line It Is Drawn.

    Was that drawn by Kate Beaton? The Loki/Thor/Cap thing?

    definitely, I recognize her style. I’m glad I’m not the only one who reads Hark! A Vagrant! =D

    No…it’s Noelle Stevenson, aka Gingerhaze, the one I named in the text under the photo.

    Sorry, no, that’s not Beaton’s work but Noelle Stevenson, the artist I named in the post.

    It clearly says it’s by Noelle Stevenson, guys. Check out the link to her Tumblr, she does a ton of great Avengers fanart.

     Oops, that’s what I get for leaving a tab open too long, I see Jill cleared this up.

  • Nick Gaston

    Okay, as soon as I get hired by DC, Ivy/Swampthing is totally becoming canon.

    What happened to Swamp Thing’s daughter Tefé?

    I really like that cover photo.  Although she is naked, she’s in a very defensive pose, not a sexual one, which I found striking.  The hijab is to supposedly protect women, and I think – to a certain extent - I buy that.  But in a culture that actively opresses women, it loses its protective function and becomes a symbol of the general opression.  The photo really makes you think, and that was its purpose

    I agree with you about everything.

    I suppose the question though is–does the negative attention take away from the message?  They had to know this would spark controversy, and perhaps that was part of the plan, but how does one know that the real issue is getting more attention than the controversy? I guess that would be my one quibble with it. Not that I know the answer to these questions… but know what I mean?
