Loki Reunites With Sigyn
As I’m waking up, I hear voices. It seems like they are on the other side of the room. Where am I? Who am I? Why do I remember two different lives? Do I remember another life? Or am I dreaming? At that time, I stop thinking and start listening to the conversation going on in the room.

Insane Theory If 'Mr. Robot' Broke Elliot, Forcing Him To Live In The World Of 'Deathnote'
We're living in a time where we've watched so many television series that they began to look and sound very similar to another. Well, this fan theory, or fan-fiction, isn't that far from the others that have graced the internet, besides the fact that it's about the hit drama, Mr. Robot, and extremely popular series Deathnote. Yes, one is an anime and the other is a live-action television program, but the two strike strange similarities.

Mirror
It’s a draw between his plaque-infested amber yellow chompers and his intense, yet alluring, baby blues; I do not know which one is more enticing. He takes in the reflection in the half-shattered mirror. With a deep inhale and a mischievous grin, he forces out a piercing shriek of gut-busting laughter; gagging on his saliva. He begins to sob because of how batty he feels. The humor he found in his reflection was relentless.

Some Ideas for Marvel Phase 4
With the release of the trailer for Avengers: Infinty War, we have seen the beginning of the end for Marvel Studios Phase 3. As a lifelong Marvel fan, I'm excited to see what's next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and so I give to you three ideas for films in the next phase. I have many more, but unlike many film studios at the moment, I'll see if the demand is there before I embark on a cinematic universe. Between these films we'll get Guardians 3 and sequels to Dr. Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Ant-Man, but those can be addressed another time.

Who Would Your Favorite Disney Characters Play In 'Harry Potter'?
Two of our favorite things growing up were the Harry Potter series and watching Disney movies. It is fun to imagine what houses we would be in if we were to go to Hogwarts, but have you ever wondered where your favorite characters might have ended up if they had been in the Harry Potter world? Thanks to Disnerds on Facebook, we no longer have to wonder. Imagine how cool it would be to see these Disney characters delivering some of the best lines from the books and movies.

The Fictional World and You
So as a forward warning, this essay is highly opinionated and based loosely on facts or quotes. In other words, this article does not even qualify for a half-ass source document for a liberal arts college essay. But this is a place where I hope to raise some thoughts and stir the thinking pot: Fan Fiction and how it should be used.Okay, so we all must have had some interaction regarding Fan Fiction works, whether they be good or bad. Speaking from my participation in a website known as Figment (a free-to-write site where aspiring writers come to start stories and share with a community of avid readers, writers, and dreamers) and needless to say, Fan Fiction is rampant in that website: fandoms from medieval RPG stories that share similar concepts to Game of Thrones to complete rip-offs of Doctor Who only with love interest twists (I'll leave that to your imagination. Just please don't share them; there could be children watching). Now it is not a wrong assumption to claim that this is what Fan Fiction is based off of; taking someone else's work and either making an alternate universe where difference events and outcomes happened is always an interesting concept to pondering (after all, that's what the Injustice comic book series is all about). But there is something dangerous about that kind of thinking; at least it was a pattern I have noticed while active in the Figment community. When it came to the Fan Fiction stories, many were just cardboard cut-outs of what happened in the show or followed the story-line of a character to the letter (save for a name or gender change). Now it is clear that it just a free-writing community and you are entitled to write whatever you please, but it does raise a question. "Can a writer build a series off of the world created by other writers?" For example, the Star Wars universe is MASSIVE! I mean, it's larger then anything else since the ships can literally jump to other galaxies in a manner of minutes or hours. And the Empire is massively large as well since they can clone soldiers and pump them out like cars in a factory. But if the Rebellion or the Resistance (hell, even the Galactic senate depending on what era you are more inclined toward) had to have stretched across the same scale and may be smaller in numbers does not mean that they are still present. Point is, there is possibility for stories that even the creators cannot keep up with or do not even think about.Now, yes there is such a thing as "stealing copyrighted work" and I am sure that there are laws out there that protects people's work from getting stolen, and yet Fan fiction is still getting put out there. Let me be clear: I am not trying to get people to starting dissing Fan Fiction; I myself would love to read some if it matches the fandom and the story is good. What I'm trying to get at is: is it a good idea to write stories based off of the worlds that are created by other stories even if there is no direct connection to the source material? Granted, Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga made a story regarding a group of survivors who had to live under the rule of the Governor in their book Road to Woodbury, but that seemed to have the original author involved in the creation of the story. But what if someone was to rebuild a lost series and bring it back into the modern spotlight? Not reuse the original characters but use the same rules built in the universe? Is it a good idea or a lost cause?

Loki
I was at work one day, I work at a small coffee shop in New York. It was a pretty normal and slow day until they walked in: Thor and Loki. Thor was talking about a mile-a-minute to Loki about what I assumed was their last mission; and Loki was listening, but also had a bored look on his face. He was clearly not as excited about what Thor was saying as Thor was. When they got to the counter, I had the honour of serving them. Thor ordered a double macchiato with a double shot of expresso. Loki ordered a black coffee. As I placed their order, I saw that Loki was holding a book, it was Hamlet by Shakespeare. “I love that book," I said to Loki. Loki looked at me with curiosity and I continued talking since there was no one in line behind them. “Shakespeare is one of my favorite authors. If you like Shakespeare’s Hamlet, you should try Kenneth Branagh’s Heart of Darkness. I think you’ll find that it is intense and compelling. It looks into the darkest recesses of human nature. It takes the reader through a horrific tale in a very gripping voice.” He never once said anything while I spoke; he just looked at me. When they called his name to pick up his coffee he kind of nodded and said, “Thank you.” He then took his coffee and left with Thor, who seemed to be teasingly shoulder-bumping Loki. The rest of my day was relatively boring compared to that.

Post Credit Scene for Season 4 'Once Upon a Time'
What we were left with: A lot of the time, season finales leave us with major cliffhangers, even more so than the movies that are angling for a sequel. It's to build the tension, leaving us with months to wait before we find out what is going to happen. When we left off with the Once Upon a Time group, they were watching as Emma got swept into the darkness, presumably to become The Dark One, leaving the dagger behind. While that is a big teaser itself, I feel like they could have gone with a post credit scene to take the tension one step further.
