[Headcanon] mobius m. mobius: grieving through botany and bad puns
Id like to imagine that Mobius does not know how to grieve properly so now he’s just out here coping through tree jokes like that’s a normal thing to do when your husband becomes the literal fabric of time itself
someone asks where Loki is, he just sighs wistfully and says, “oh, he’s putting down roots.” sir. sir. your husband became the literal god of stories, exists outside of time, and you’re out here making arborist puns.
OB tried to explain something about temporal branches and mobius just got misty-eyed and whispered, “branches…”
“he used to be a real piece of work, y’know? now he’s just a piece of wood.” sir.
every time Mobius walks past a particularly nice-looking tree, he pats it like a dog and murmurs “proud of you, babe.”
He most definitely has a coffee mug that says “i ♡ my multiversal tree husband”
Any time Mobius talks fondly of Loki: used to be a real slippery little guy. now he’s rooted in place.
someone mentions pruning and he instinctively flinches like they just suggested murder
Id also like to think he doesn’t just make tree jokes casually, he commits to the bit.
someone mentions needing paper and he’s like “funny, my husband used to be paper-adjacent.” EXCUSE ME???
“guess he finally settled down, huh?” MOBIUS, PLEASE.
sometimes he just stares out into space and murmurs, “he’s really grown so much.” everyone assumes he’s being sentimental. no. he means literally.
when he actually goes outside, he has a moment every single time. wind blowing through the trees? “there he goes.” a random acorn falls on him? “he’s sending me gifts.”
when people finally start assuming he’s over it, that the jokes are just jokes, he absolutely proves them wrong. one day b-15 finds him just lying on the ground in a park, flat on his back, staring up at a massive tree with the softest little smile on his face.
and she just sighs, shakes her head, and says, “tell your tree husband I said hi.”
and mobius, without missing a beat, just murmurs, “he says hi back.”
