the son you dreamed up from the memory of your elder self? are we our own father now???

what possible correlation could you be insinuating? i definitely can't imagine, because the only obvious one would be super nasty and you very maturely wouldn't go there

[thecoolerloki]

If not our own father, we have been our own social worker/adoption agency/whatever other metaphor we can use for our existential ouroboros.

Stephen Strange and Billy Kaplan are both magic-based Avengers, young or otherwise. Wanda Maximoff would fit the bill as well, would she not?

[ikols]

her type is robots and also she can't stand us 🤷🏻‍♂️

and she's scary

[thecoolerloki]

She's yet to forgive us for borrowing her face, I take it?

Or is that you think she'll find issue with you seducing her sons?

[ikols]

and for general shenanigans, yes

i'm not seducing a

alright, i seduced tommy a bit
it was a very mutual decision though, i cannot be faulted
for reaching out

[thecoolerloki]

I never faulted you.

[ikols]

i did NOT seduce billy
if anything i am the seduCEE

[thecoolerloki]

You're literally debating yourself about this. And in this case, I don't even mean me.

[ikols]

in any case, i didn't tell david but i suspect he suspects
because he's david

[thecoolerloki]

I suspect he knows. Because he's David.

[ikols]

he made all three of us sit down for dinner

[thecoolerloki]

LOL

[ikols]

your room is finished btw

[thecoolerloki]

[He was expecting they'd just lift his room from Stephen's house with magic and that'd be it, so he is feeling weirdly excited and grateful that his older self might have put some thought into it. Of course, he reacts the only way he knows how,]

So? Teleport me there already.

[ikols]

[ Green lights illuminate a gamer's bed setup beyond the portal's edge that Loki sends Serrure's way, inviting him directly into a green-and-black modern bedroom from his current position. There's a fancy computer with multiple screens (whatever is the rage with tech nerds in Excelsior right now) under the bed and some casual clothes hanging up, shelves ready to be filled. It's as far from a tower or a cave as can be. On the bed, if Serrure peeks up there, is a somewhat patronising but very cuddly plush magpie.

Outside the room, standing in the doorway, Loki waits to see his reaction. ]

Well?

[thecoolerloki]

... it's acceptable.

[Which is to say he's very moved especially because this is way nicer than his haunted house bedroom that he decorated himself.]

We really are lonely, aren't we.

[At least it's a we rather than a you.]

[ikols]

[ Wandering inside, he pats him on the head by way of an answer. Very lonely, yes. ]

You wanna be tossed up on the bed?

[thecoolerloki]

I can manage fine by myself.

[he says with a small smile before teleporting up there and grabbing the plushie. He's kinda showing off.]

You know, the All-Mother would say you're spoiling me.

[ikols]

The All-Mother wouldn't know what spoiling you looks like.

[thecoolerloki]

[While he doesn't have the same fondness for his mother(s) as big/sad/boring Loki, he wouldn't be opposed to them showing up]

They were nice sometimes. [He tries to think of an example] They'd give me flowers?

[ikols]

Flowers and poverty, so thoughtful.

[thecoolerloki]

[He turns his head away, hugging the magpie plushie close.]

... I didn't need them to take care of me.

[Just like he didn't need Stephen either. Or Thor.]

And I can understand it too, from their perspective. It wasn't wise for them to work as closely with me as they did, Asgard judged and dethroned them for even that much.

[ikols]

They were shitty at being real mothers, you don't want to say it and so I will.

[ He tugs on the boy's sleeve, opening up an arm for him. ]

Freyja loved you greatly, if it helps.

[thecoolerloki]

[No opening up! Only pouting!]

I remember her being kind when we were younger- actually younger. Although I don't know if that's simply a story I told myself, same with Thor and I getting along well.

[ikols]

[ Oh nooooo, he has to curl up behind him! Cuddle attack with these loooong arms! ]

Stop moping and let me tell you a bedtime story.
