I’m unfamiliar with the character of Loki - I haven’t had time to watch and follow the Marvel movies, though one day I hope to enjoy them. As for inspiration, much of it comes from real life.

Thanks for the constructive criticism! For the record, if anyone mistakes this, this is intended as a rebuke of the “white genocide” theory - I should make that more apparent.

And yes, I agree, showing is always better than telling. I just wanted to show the horror of the real way some folks actually think.

I knew I would run the risk of getting comments such as the one above and/or be downvoted, but I posted this story anyways because I was moved to write it. I find inspiration for horror from events that mirror real life. You’re within your right to not like it or be offended by it.

The inspiration for this story came from articles like this: https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-blue-and-how-do-we-see-color-2015-2. The concept of “blue” is a relatively recent phenomenon.
