Loki Laufeyson by birth, Loki Odinson by adoption, is the fictional character based on the Marvel comics and Norse mythological god of the same name who is portrayed by Tom Hiddleston in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Loki, often titled the “god of mischief”, is the adoptive son of Odin and Frigga and the adoptive brother of Thor and Hela, the Asgardian Royal family. Originally born a frost giant from Jotunheim, Loki was a baby left to die by his father until Odin, King of Asgard, found him and took him in as his own. Loki was raised without knowledge of his past, growing a close relationship with Thor but never feeling as though he was living up to his brother, the “god of thunder”. Through a series of unfortunate events including his realisation of his true origins and the death of his mother, Loki becomes vengeful and vindictive. This resentment leads to plots to rid Asgard of both Thor and Odin in attempts to rule Asgard. After his plans are foiled, attentions turn to conquering Earth creating the circumstances for the creation of the Avengers. Loki Laufeyson has generally been known as a villain in the MCU through his constant attempts at taking over either Earth or Asgard and having allied himself with other powerful villains in order to achieve these conquests. He is also quite well known for antagonising his brother Thor by partnering with him and then betraying him endlessly and regularly returning from apparent death. Despite these shortcomings, through his development in the MCU, Loki has become labelled less as a villain and more as an anti-hero.
Following his introduction in the first ‘Thor’ film, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has frequently appeared in multiple other Marvel projects including the first three ‘Thor’ films, ‘The Avengers’, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, ‘Avengers: Endgame’, ‘What if…’ and most recently starred in ‘Loki’ a series which orbits this fan-favourite character while simultaneously introducing variants of him.
‘Burdened with glorious purpose’ is a reoccurring phrase said by Loki Laufeyson throughout his various MCU appearances. This quote is repeated so often by Loki that it has become synonymous with his character. Inspired by his iconic colour palette and featuring a rendition of Loki’s iconic Chitauri scepter, this pin perfectly epitomises this character. There is no better way to make a Loki fan happy!

‘Arrow’ is an American superhero television series that acts as a modern retelling of the Green Arrow, a DC character featured in many comic books and graphic novels. This show also served as the gateway to what the fans refer to as the ‘Arrowverse’ (also known as the CW Multiverse or CWverse) which is a television franchise that also currently includes Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow to name a few.
Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead after a storm shipwrecks the boat he was on. However, it turns out that he never died… Instead he managed to find his way onto a mysterious, uncharted island in the North China Sea. For five years, he was stranded in this cruel purgatory surrounded by unknown evils. When he returns home, his family and friends find that the person they lost isn’t the one the got back. He’s a changed man, much more than they realise. Oliver returned home with a mission to rid his city of the crime and corruption that his family has ignored for years, sheltered by their wealth. Armed with a bow and a quiver full of arrows, his weapon of choice, he becomes a secret vigilante with the help of former soldier John Diggle and skilled hacker and I.T. expert Felicity Smoak. Will the war on crime that Oliver started make a difference? What happens when Oliver’s past, the five years on the island, chases him down?
‘You have failed this city’ is a reoccurring phrase used mainly by Oliver Queen throughout the entirety of the show. In his hooded archer persona, he uses it to confront evildoers and call them out for their actions and the results they’ve had in in the city. With Oliver’s hooded silhouette and this iconic quote written in green on a dark silver arrowhead, we could think of nothing better to celebrate this character and the show as a whole!
