Loki: General Romantic Headcanons
Loki: General romantic headcanons
I’m using ‘you’ for simplicity. Honestly, these are just my thoughts/headcanons as to what a relationship with Loki would be like in general, so it’s not really specific in terms of who it is in the relationship with him.
Feel free to discuss or give your own opinions/headcanons if you’d like.
This is also gender neutral, I imagine he acts the same with a S/O of any gender. Because Asgard just be like that.
-Whether you’re an enhanced being or not, Loki is very ready and willing to take up arms for you at the first sign of danger. If someone threatens you, he’ll tap them on the shoulder with the scariest expression imaginable, “Would you mind repeating that?” If you get kidnapped, there’s a 60% chance that Loki’s on his way to kick some ass (With a 40% chance that one or more of the Avengers are trying to hold him back so they can assess the situation first.)
-If you know how to fight/are enhanced, you two often end up being a combat duo and honestly make the most effective badass power couple in the Avengers, besides Wanda and Vision, of course.
-Loki, at first, if you’re midgardian, will end up being extremely careful around you. He’ll basically treat you like you’re made of glass, any wrong move he makes might hurt you in his mind seeing as, from his experience, midgardians are so fragile. Regardless of whether you’re enhanced or not. It takes a lot of convincing and reassurance to get him to relax. (This is a hurtle you have to jump before he feels confident in fighting alongside you as well.) This, of course, does not apply if he’s already well aware that you can handle yourself in battle. (For example, you’re an Avenger and you two have fought side-by-side multiple times, or sparred with one another.)
-If you ask to come to Asgard, he might bring you along. Don’t be surprised, however, if he ends up using his magic to make you look like an Asgardian if you’re from Midgard. (Because he was very vocal about judging Thor’s relationship with Jane, and he’d rather not be made fun of for the ironic hypocrisy.) As for the other realms? He may take you to see them depending on which realm we’re talking about. (Alfheim and Vanaheim in particular are ones he likes to visit. Jotunheim on the other hand? Over his dead body.)
-If everyone knows about it, he will gladly show off. He flaunts his relationship with you, and you yourself, to everyone like you’re the finest treasure in the universe. Basically saying ‘They’re my partner, not yours. Jealous?’
-If you’re in a relationship with him, I cannot imagine you haven’t already seen his Jotun form by that point. The biggest hurtle(s) for any relationship with Loki are his secrets, insecurities, and fears. Thus, if he really does love you and trust you, it’s because he knows you accept him wholly and completely. Thus, you’ve seen it. (Note: He’s still not going to take this form often, he just wants to be sure you wouldn’t believe him to be a monster and/or abandon him.)
-Once you break through the above barrier, this man is probably one of the most compassionate people out there. If people prove their fidelity and care for him, he’ll treat that person like gold. Though most of the softer moments happen behind closed doors, as he’s not very into PDA. (Though that’s not to say he’ll stop you-)
-He’s not the kind of person to make you jealous. After all, he’s your partner, you chose one another for a reason. If you try to make him jealous though, he’ll realize what you’re doing and take it very personally. The only time he’d ever make you jealous on purpose is if you attempted it on him, because this man is petty. Though do bear in mind he will confront you about how immature you’re being regardless of if he takes the petty route in that situation or not. hypocrite
-He doesn’t really care about appearances. Sure, having a pretty S/O is nice, but that doesn’t really matter to him when compared to genuine care and compassion. This extends to aliens and mutants with major appearance changes too. Neurodivergence and disabilities are also something that doesn’t bother him generally. Though you’ll probably have to explain some of them to him, as he doesn’t really know that much about modern midgardian terminologies/diagnoses for things like that. Autism? DID? Tourettes? Deafness? Muteness? He doesn’t care.
-What he specifically looks for in a partner is loyalty especially, with compassion, empathy, and a decent sense of humor. (Some impishness is also up there on his list.) Common interests are another plus, and will usually be one of the first things he notices.
-Things that will usually make him nope out of a relationship are actually pretty low-bar standards if I’m being honest: Abuse, General lack of care for him, Extreme entitlement, Insert hate-based group, i:e racists, transphobes, etc.
-I’ve already mentioned before that I headcanon one of his love languages to be physical touch. He’s touch starved, please give him affection. However, at the beginning of a relationship, he’ll find the idea of...actually having a loving relationship to be very hard to get used to, so he probably won’t initiate any physical affection at first regardless of if it’s in private or not. But, gradually over time you’ll notice him being a bit more physically affectionate and bold in regards to touching you. He’ll stand closer to you more often, he’ll put his hand on your shoulder randomly, he might even start kissing you on the temple or forehead on occasion, etc.
-If you cannot fight, he will teach you how to defend yourself. This is non-negotiable. His mother was murdered in his absence and that fact haunts him well into any ‘real’ relationship he forges, friendship or otherwise. So, he’s certainly not going to let you waltz about without knowing how to defend yourself in case something happens when he’s not around. If you already can fight, he’ll train and spar with you.
-He will stick to you as much as possible. He wants to spend a lot of time with you (Another love language), so don’t be surprised if he ends up popping up every so often to check on you, or asking you when you’ll next be free for some quality time together.
-Dates with this man are immaculate. He pays a lot of attention to how you feel and what your interests are. He’ll then take this information and use it to construct a date that he thinks you’d enjoy. You like sci-fi? Well, he knows a beautiful alien planet you two could explore! Gemtones? Oh, you just so happened to stumble upon a crystal cave with him!
-He does a lot of silent admiration from afar. During those moments, there’s a lot that goes on in his mind. Specifically, wondering how you could possibly love him when he’s done so much. New York, Helping Thanos, Attempting to destroy Jotunheim, the multiple attempts on Thor’s life, etc. The fact that you can even accept his Jotun ancestry, something even he himself can’t truly accept, amazes him. He really doesn’t know what he did to deserve someone so accepting and loving in his life.
-It’s not always sunshine and smiles of course. Communication of his own emotions is not his strong suit, but he’s very perceptive of the feelings of others, so he’s very willing to talk to you about your issues or concerns. He’s very good at recognizing when something’s wrong as well, so often, you won’t even need to ask him to talk, he’ll already be sitting next to you, patiently waiting for you to begin the conversation. Meanwhile, he has a habit of pushing his emotions down and thinking that if he ignores them they might go away. He’s also very good at hiding it, so that’s certainly something you two need to figure out. Arguments happen, but rarely last long, as he’s good at recognizing when he made a mistake. “I understand, I’m sorry I made you feel this way. I promise I’ll try to be more thoughtful of you from now on, [Name].”
-He doesn’t really do anniversaries? It’s an Asgard thing, there’s no real ‘milestones’ for relationships, so if you want anniversaries, you’re going to have to explain it to him.
-He really tries his best to be as good a partner to you as possible. He places your needs squarely above his own, especially in dire circumstances.
-Pet names. He will use them, and absolutely melt if you use them too. Call him ‘your prince’, ‘sweetheart’, ‘darling’, ‘luv’, any endearing little name like that, he’ll love it. (He also doesn’t care if you call him those things in public either.)
-He’s such a tease. He’ll flirt with you in hushed tones when nobody is looking, his goal being just to see you turn red. If something ends up happening after as a result? ...That’s just a happy accident.

I think I'm already tired of the 'all of one character groups into a collective of multiverse heroes' trope. Or whatever you want to call it.
I just tried to watch 'My adventures with Superman' and I was mentally checked out the entire seventh episode as soon as we found out about the 'league of Lois'.
Honestly, that trope is so dumb. I'm not the only one who thinks that, right?

Erasing Loki won't erase me
I wrote this on Twitter and it got long:
They really hated how #Loki represented the outcasts and thus had to change him to be relatable to mainstream people instead. Strip him of everything that made him unique and punish him thoroughly in the process.
They hate us so much, they couldn't let us have one badass character we could relate to. If marginalized people feel represented, or worse empowered, by such a character, it has to be destroyed.
Just like the bullies on the schoolyard tried to beat us into normalcy, the bigots in the entertainment industry forcefully strips our beloved character of everything that made him special, everything that made him one of us.
Fuck you! We still have the original MCU Loki, and we don't forget. Some of us weren't broken by you mainstream oppression machine; we resisted on that schoolyard and we resist now.
We won't disappear because you take away our #representation. People who don't fit in will always exist; dandelions through the cracks of you asphalt, if you will. You can hurt us but you will never succeed in erasing us.

(from the Thor: The Dark World movie storybook)
Person: Hey, don't call that MLP character 'Derpy Hooves', that's insulting and ableist! Me: Oh, okay, what should I call her, then? Person: Call her 'Ditzy Doo'. :) Me: ...How is 'Ditzy Doo' less insulting than Derpy Hooves? Person: Well, 'Derpy' is ableist towards people with mental disabilities. Me: And 'Ditzy' is a misogynistic insult towards a woman perceived as stupid, especially if they're a blonde (Which Ditzy happens to also be). ...And you think naming a FEMALE CHARACTER 'Ditzy' is fine?
Can someone explain why people say this? How is 'Ditzy' less bad than 'Derpy'? /gen
BTAS concept/idea that just came to mind. Humor me.
What if...there was a character who was semi-aware of the fourth wall? Not Deadpool level, but just self-aware enough to take advantage of how the series is written?
Okay, so there’s some rando in Arkham. One of the many nameless background characters to fill space, right? He’s just sitting in his cell one day, watching the doctors transport The Riddler or someone back to their cell after being brought back by Batman. That’s when he suddenly makes a realization.
Looking at all the people in the cells along the hall, he notices a very specific detail. Everyone labelled as a ‘supervillain’, everyone who dresses in costumes and commits crimes under an alias, they all inexplicably end up being given the ability to escape multiple times.
The guy decides to test this out after managing to get out of Arkham in one way or another. He gets a bunch of materials together and makes himself a make-shift costume, then picks an alias and goes out to commit a crime. (Let’s say for the sake of simplicity that he chooses a plague doctor theme, and, let’s just call him ‘Plague Rat’.) Sure enough, Batman shows up.
One thing leads to another and suddenly, he finds himself developing powers after the Batman encounter. (Idk, maybe he can communicate with pests, like rats?) Then is sent back to Arkham.
He notices that his appearance has suddenly changed. He looks a little less normal, a bit more...’iconic’? Then, the next thing he knows, he’s given an inexplicable opportunity to escape with a bunch of other rogues gallery characters.
He notices that each and every ‘supervillain’ is connected to Batman in some way, thus, he ends up coming up with a theory that he tests as well. He goes out to commit another crime at the same time as another villain, sure enough, Batman shows up and manages against the clock to stop them both.
This makes Plague rat realize that Batman is basically the protagonist of the story. This encounter also makes him realize that he’s suddenly impossibly lucky, able to just walk into dangerous situations and walking away with barely a scratch. Thus, he ends up taking up the habit of just throwing himself at danger haphazardly in his plans, as well as growing the balls to piss off other stronger baddies without fear. Even going so far as to outright bet other inmates on things that seem stupidly dangerous. (”I’ll bet you that I can go punch Killer Croc in the face right now and I’ll be fine.” He does, and right before Croc can attack him, a guard suddenly appears and breaks them up.)
This behavior would probably catch the attention of two people in particular: The Joker and Scarecrow.
Joker would be interested, as his careless and chaotic behavior meshes with his well. Scarecrow would be interested purely because of just... how is he so careless? It’s like he’s completely incapable of feeling fear?
Scarecrow at one point sprays him with fear toxin, after a few seconds of silent horror, he’s surprised to find Plague Rat laughing? He just starts yelling in hysterical laughter: “None of you can see it! None of you! I’m untouchable! Send as many demons, monsters, and serial killers as you like! Do your worst! It won’t help!” (Laughing mostly to cover how much he is actually afraid, but he’s still confident in the pattern.)
The entire rogues gallery just ends up being conflicted on how they feel about him. On one hand, they kind of trust him, because his predictions are usually correct, but on the other, he’s so eager to just throw himself at certain death. But on the other other hand, he always manages to get out of those situations perfectly fine? Arkham’s inmates just end up spreading a rumor that he can somehow see the future.
Maybe in his fights with Batman, he even starts saying stuff like: “-But before you foil my plans and take me to jail, why don’t we make this more interesting for the audience? After all, the hero always needs to face some peril in a good story, right?” Or “Please, this plan of yours is just going to fail anyway. Why are you taking it so seriously?” Or even, “My backstory? Oh, it’s nothing you need to worry about, a good story always trims the fat if it isn’t important, after all.” Or how about, “Trust me (Rogue name), just jump out with me! ...Yes, I get we’re in a blimp, but we’ll be fine! We’re both main characters!”
Basically: He’s a Batman villain who can see his own Plot armor, and he’s just having fun with it.
Idk, I just had this idea and I wanted to share it, because I thought the idea was at least somewhat interesting.
Every single time I read something with the lantern rings speaking, I always imagine the red and yellow rings sounding like the Mysterons from Captain Scarlet.
I have absolutely no idea why, that’s just the voice my mind gave to them.
And in case you don’t know what they sound like...
To be frank, the double standards of the mcu are hilariously ridiculous:
A man who killed people after the loss of his family is evil and deserves to spend the rest of life in solitary confinement
But a man who killed people after the loss of his family was just grieving and made a mistake
The difference? One of them is an avenger
Mind control is an evil thing to do
Wanda can mind control as many people as many times as she wants to, nobody cares
Torture is bad
It's okay if Thor, Mobius or Wanda are the ones doing it
Being mind controlled makes you innocent if your name is Clint Barton
Being stripped of your memories, even if you made a decision to torture and kill people and enjoyed the process, makes you innocent if your name is Mobius
Being tortured and brainwashed and stripped of your memories is just extenuating circumstances if your name is Bucky Barnes (they originally claimed him innocent but then changed their mind in phase 4)
Being tortured, mind controlled and having your memories altered is your own fault and is no excuse, you enjoyed it anyway, if your name is Loki
Slavery is bad
If Valkyrie spends over a thousand years enslaving people and selling them to the Grandmaster with no remorse, well, she is just making money, give her the throne
Kidnapping babies and hurting and using them their entire life is bad (if you're Dreykov)
But Thanos loved Gamora
And Loki is an ungrateful brat for not appreciating Odin
The list goes on, btw
MCU keep Loki out of stuff unless you can treat him properly challenge
“He has a punchable face” better hope he dodges so you don’t break your hands 🙃
Okay, but notice that when Viren turns into a statue, he has a tear rolling down from his eye, similar to The Dragon King (Not even going to try to spell out his name.)
That + The ‘She is not an asset, she is my daughter’ line from the previous season makes me think that there might be some delicious dramatic irony centering around Viren’s killing of The Dragon King. (Perhaps with Aaravos taking up Claudia as his assistant in Viren’s place? Who knows?)
That’s just me reading a little deep into a random line and the imagery in this teaser being so similar to The Dragon Kings, so I could be way wrong though, lol.
Either way, I’m big hyped for this, holy shit-
Impossible is just another kind of possible.
