requested by: @captaingondor

request: 1890s tea gown

commentary from the curator: normally I'll still just have the blog post two polls a day for this event, but since this was the very first request I received (thank you so much!! ☺️) I thought I'd go ahead and post the poll to kick off our little celebration! (I actually also have another poll for this request added to the queue because I found some other nice tea gowns in my search ☺️) I just loved that they were also actually having tea in this one! ☺️ I really hope you all have fun with this event! (I'm already having a great time searching for things to fulfill your requests! 💕)

It’s the casual way Mobius sets his chaotic boyfriend The God of Mischief loose on everyone. Mobius is so attuned to Loki, he immediately knows how he’s going to react, offering him a gentle warning or permission to proceed. And Loki carefully waits for that permission before he acts, implying this is a familiar dynamic that’s been established beforehand.
