Summary
Greetings zep heads.
At the time of writing this essay I only have the one essay, but I may write more in the future. Here I will be analyzing the lyrics of Robert Plant through a queer lens. Specifically, we'll be considering the hypothesis that he's singing to Jimmy Page. It's not exactly a work of fiction, nor of nonfiction; it's my interpretation and theory about a series of canonical texts.

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird,
You must not miss.
Loki catches his brother sex chatting girls online behind Jane’s back. Thor is a real asshole about it. He’s a real asshole, period. He deserves a lesson. And Loki deserves revenge. He sets up a profile as a fictional girl to entrap his brother and ruin what he has with Jane. Or that was the plan. Things don’t go quite as expected.

Summary
(Harrumph. Tap-tap. Is this working? okay)
So what you'll find here is a collection of uuuh literary analyses of Robert Plant's original lyrics from the 70s to current times. The idea behind it is that Robert has been writing about his epic love story with Jimmy Page...
(*shuffling of chairs and rumble of footsteps as the audience stampedes for the nearest exit in a panic*)
... Oookay. So. The three brave souls remaining, with enough curiosity and open-mindedness (or enough "poor girl, she's tried so hard") to give me a chance. Gather round, bit closer.
What I was saying. Robert Plant has been writing about his epic love story with Jimmy Page in his songs since forever. It's really not that subtle. All it takes to see it is considering "so what if it was real" and have a quick look.
But since I've found symbols, metaphors, recurring themes, connections and callbacks all over the place, I'd like to tell you about them. I've done the work, so you don't have to.
The conclusion is (spoilers) yes, Jimbert is hella real, it's not platonic, it's colossal, it's fucking beautiful... and it's alive.
Intrigued yet? Come on board mateys, we're going sailing.

Summary
For Tumblr's Thorprize Fest
Jotunheim won the war. Loki practically did it all himself. He wants Thor as his prize, and he is going to get him. But there are things he doesn't know, complicated secrets his father never told him... (Good job Loki grew up smothered in fatherly love. Behold the glorious issue-ness-less.)
Thor lost the war. From prince crown of Asgard, god of Thunder, and hero of legends, to Loki's little playtoy. It's a journey.

Summary
"Thor is a Class A Asshole. What a fucking shame. He is also the most beautiful thing Loki has seen in his entire life. He’d be willing to make many allowances for that face, that body, that blinding smile, but the truth is, the man is an Asshole of the highest order, an irredeemable, unbearable jerk."
I just felt like writing this idk.

So long ago and out of sight by AshToAshes77, Goldragon (thebookhunter), ledbythreads, mary_anjel, thebookhunter

Summary
"And now the carnival is over
Someone turn out the light.
Our fields of plenty filled with clover
So long ago and out of sight.This little light that keeps on shining
All through the darkness, through the night,
That ever more will keep reminding
Our journey is long, our flame is bright.And if there's one more time I can dance with you
Let me dance with you tonight
It's the last chance our hearts will dance
Into the lovers' night.Out in the land of never ending
The rich parade, the roar of life.
We shared a world forever changing
Through dancing days and wondrous nights.I offered up the secret places
Revealed the magic of the land
All bound by blood and lipstick traces
Till time conspired to steal our crown."(Robert Plant, "Dance with you tonight", Carry Fire, 2017.)
This is the song that started all of this. The Copernican Turn. The Wait A Fucking Second moment.
I found a thread, I started pulling, and everything else just fell into place.

Bookmarker's Notes
"She tried to make sense of everything she’d seen. Tried to understand how centuries of love could turn into that. Tried to understand what the hell kept them both coming back. And she realized that she couldn’t. What she’d seen in that flash was... chaotic and brutal and fucked up and so far from the Thor she knew, so far from the Thor who told nostalgic stories of his brilliant brother Loki with warm light shining in his eyes."
