Hehe I have managed to draw out a few members I have no intention of leaving until forum domination is complete. *struts in Mab armour* It's cool ain't it. ;D Now if I could only get the hair right. *pulls at massive tugs in hair*

Haha, indeed. The hair is always one of the tricky parts, isn't it? But now that you've coaxed old members out of their hiding, I'm sure nothing's too hard for you.

Oy, Mordred.
That is a tricky one. He IS a brat, but that's not really his fault. He grew up way to fast, well, at least his body did, but the rest of him still seems to have to catch up. But Mordred is far from stupid and I appreciate that. Further, he is devoted to Mab, and that's a big plus, too. I think he is a great character, because he can be both a child and a grown man, and sometimes both. That's why the MM pairing is intriguing to me, even tho I'd see that even more as a game of power-and maybe even controversy-than Mab/Vortigern.

That's why the MM pairing is intriguing to me, even tho I'd see that even more as a game of power-and maybe even controversy-than Mab/Vortigern. I know what you mean and that fact has actually just caught up to me that he wasn't fully grown up. So that kind of explains his bratty-ness That is the main reason I like him because of his devotion to Mab. I was so upset when he was dying and Mab sounded so cute when she was talking to him. I'm sure I've said this before but I'll say it again anyway I'm happy that the last person Mordred seen was Mab. To be honest though I wouldn't really see that as a game of power. Mordred knows Mab is powerful and I am quite sure he knows he will never be just as powerful as her. Then with M/V he does have power it isn't magick but power nonetheless. I can almost see them drawing as equals but I think with M/M Mordred tends to look up to Mab. Just my thoughts feel free to tell me where I'm going wrong. ;D

You are probably right about the power thing between MM. But I guess what I meant was (lol I am not quite sure myself) that it is a demonstration of power to the outside world. In almost every culture it is tabu or at least controversal to have sexual relations with a close relative. I know Mab and Mordred aren't related by blood, but still...and hey, if Queen Mab of the Old Ways feels like shagging her nephew, then she will do just that. Because she can. With Vortigern...yes, they are equal, and that's why I like them together. They get what's on the other one's mind, even when it's all on a different level. But i don't think they'll ever TRULY love each other (there can be a great level of affection, tho) and she has the ability to go to him and turn his world upside down. In more than just one respect. And to me, that's a form of power.

Don't worry lol I constantly have that problem I will never find anyone who can confuse me as much as my self. ;D I think I'm getting what you mean now and yeah I suppose that is the type of thing Mab would do.
I'm not entirely sure they can love so I wouldn't see there relationship working in that type of way. I agree with what you say though about the equalness, power, affection and turning his world upside down ;D ;D

Yes, what I liked about him is also his devotion to Mab. However, if shipped, I don’t know how he would react, should she reject him, or cast him aside after a while – he is ultimately a child, a spoiled one at that. So I don’t know.
I agree – if anyone can be her equal, that would be Vortigern (he may be a mortal, but, as you said, they’re very much alike). As for the pairing, I see it as love/hate (they fight and argue, but if it came down to it, they would come through for each other).

Last night I saw the Avengers- I have this to say about it: Put Mordred in a Power Rangers suit and call him Loki

Of course this could just be a personal impression... To me he was really Mordredy. Always smirking and such.

I know I have said this before, right in the previous post actually. This time I saw Thor 2 and AGAIN Loki struck me as Mordred. His conduct, smiles, inflection in his voice,...

I haven't seen Thor 2 yet, but I have seen the Avengers now, and I can certainly see what you mean about the mannerisms.
Loki fell a bit flat for me though. I don't know why, but I didn't really enjoy him in either Thor or the Avengers on rewatches. Didn't dislike him either, and the guy who plays him is a good actor, but he was just sort of there. I think I might be in the minority on this one though, since half the people I know, regardless of gender, age or sexual preference seem to have a huge thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. The appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch is also kind of lost on me, I lack a finger on the pulse of modern culture apparently XD
