The update was fantastic enough...but the comments thereafter are just priceless.

I love the comments you guys make, seriously, it's the best part of posting the story!
Tom Hiddleston is love.
Tom Hiddleston is life.
And it's kind of funny, because Loki/Tom Hiddleston is to Thor/Avengers as Legolas/Orlando Bloom was to Lord of the Rings. (And by that I mean that they both brought in hordes of fangirls that just about outnumbered the crowd that actually knew and were fans of the source material beforehand. There was actually an arc in Foxtrot called "Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything" that summed the phenomena up quite nicely. Not that I mean any disrespect, of course, since I'm Team Loki all the way.)
Just remember who's got Legolas plastered all over her laptop, honey,
I agree with your theory, though.
*brain esplodes* This is the second time I have almost died this week from laughing... because laughing brings on a coughing fit XD This place is utterly dangerous... but oh so worth it! And Gwendy... that comment was about the third time XD This is so fantastic! I can't wait to see what happens!
Feel better soon, Shewolf! Sorry about nearly killing you...
Hey! So, I just started reading and I wanted to know how you got your founder differently colored eyes?
Contact lens accessory. I'll send you the link later.
In light of all the trouble I've had with the file, I really caution everybody about using cc. Use your powers responsibly, kids!
Also, guys, I just had a scary/hilarious thought: What if Legolas and/or Loki ends up looking like Arlo?! I know this sounds weird coming from me, but I really hope they take after Gytha/Jareth/Mag.
Better question-will the fangirls still love them?
haha. Worries not. If they does somehow unfortunately miserably got the horrendous look for the guy Gytha choose we fangirls would just have to wish the file is getting corrupted again and they repeat the pregnancy until we get the NON-Arlo face.
And of course we still love the earth dimension Legolas and Loki.
Ahh, the great questions of the age!
Chapter Twenty-Four - The Bishi* Generation*Literally means "pretty boy," as in an attractive member of the male gender. The stereotypical bishounen generally has long hair, a slender, graceful figure, and lacks facial hair. They are also likely to have certain personality traits, like sensitivity, secretiveness, moodiness, refinement, and a dark, tormented past. - From the Urban Dictionary.
A few days later, once the twins had aged up to toddler, Gytha got a phone call.
"Gthya? Gytha Ogg? Is that you?" a voice boomed in her ear.
"Yes, Esme," she grinned. "Where did you get a cell phone?"
"I'm usin' Agnes'. She come back from visiting her friend Christine with some strange stories, Gytha. What's all this about you be widowed eight times? Sounds wasteful to me, what with so many women lookin' for husbands, for you to be havin' so many."
"Wasn't like that at all, Esme," Gytha laughed. "Were the same man over and over again. Very economical, you might say."
"Hmph! And you've not been wearin' the hat. Very important, the hat."
"Got one now, Esme."
"And them red boots again, I hear."
"They had hardly any wear, Esme."
"And what about the
goings on?"
"Gotta run, Esme, the babbies are lookin' for me. Good talkin' to you though," Gytha hung up.
"Nanny! Let us out!" Loki demanded. "We've been trapped in here for days!"
"You just stay in there," Tia scolded. "I love that playpen. It's like a motive mobile for toddlers. Just keep playing with your brother."
"He's not my brother," Legolas snarled. "He's just another Trickster."
"I"m a god," Loki told him.
"Really? Then why can't you god us out of here?"
"That's it, play with your brother, now where did she get to?" Tia said distractedly.
For another, more dangerous problem had surfaced. Tia was beginning to understand what had happened between Gytha and Arlo and it was about to happen again.
"Mag! Are you flirting with Gytha again?" Tia asked.
"She flirts with me," Mag corrected. "Then I can't help but flirt back, due to this terrible romantic trait you gave me."
"Why don't I take care of the problem?" Tia asked. "Here, have a midlife crisis."
"I'm twenty-seven. Isn't it a little soon?"
"Trust me. Why don't you become an Angler instead?"

"Hello, Aunt Darlene, Aunt Lisa," Erik said.
"Well, look who finally came to visit!" Lisa snapped. "Why don't you call more often, Erik?"
"I fixed your stereo, Aunt Darlene," he said wearily.
"And you haven't even invited us over to see the twins." Lisa continued.
Erik rubbed the back of his neck. "They're having some issues right now, Aunt Lisa. It's probably for the best if you wait till they're a little older."
"Mag hasn't been by either," Lisa said.
"She's been doing some therapy, Aunt Lisa. I've got to go, I promise I'll call later."
"Thanks for the stereo," Darlene said.

"You two look thrilled," Tia remarked sarcastically. "What's up?"
"I don't think I like this look." Jareth said. "Why do I have to look like this Bowie fellow anyway?"
"Fine," Tia said. "Next go-round at the mirror, I'll fix it up again. And Gytha, you can stop giving me that look. I don't care who you flirt with outside the house, but everyone in here is off limits. It gets way too complicated."
***
"I've got a plan." Loki said.
Legolas snorted. "They don't buy that
'I need to use the facilities' ploy. Since you won't stop talking, all of our needs are completely green."
"Look, all you have to do is boost me over the side. Then I'll grab something to stand on and pull you out." Loki explained. "Even your little elf brain can see it's flawless."
"I don't trust you, Loki," Legolas told him. "You'll just leave me here."
"No, I won't. You're my best friend," he paused. "Why are
you my best friend?"
"Because you won't shut up," Legolas growled. "There's a better way."
"Oh, I can't wait to hear this," Loki mocked.
"Watch and learn." Legolas told him. "Tia! Tia!"
"What, I'm busy with Erik, he's going crazy building the floor things."
"I'm not going to do my requirements. I'm going to escape from this playpen and hide until the social services come and take me away."
"No, you're going to stay right there, young elf. Look, it's only for another day, then you can do what you want."
"Right. Like skill up and do boring school work and 'make friends'. Not happening."
Tia's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?"
"I want to pick my own trait when I get to childhood."
Erik went running down the hall.
"Fine, fine, just stay in there! Erik, for Eru's sake, put some clothes on!"
"That's how it's done," Legolas told Loki smugly. "You've got a lot to learn about this dynasty business."
And so the next day, when the twins aged up, Loki claimed there was a Favoured Nation clause in all playpen contracts and got to pick his own trait as well.
Legolas picked Rebellious.
While Rebellious picked Loki.
