Loki: Everyone thinks I'm stuck up and mysterious but it's actually just the autism

[doctor-disc0]

Anyway the reason Loki became the god of lies is because, as a young autistic kid, he had trouble making eye contact, and so everybody always thought he was lying even when he was telling the truth

Loki's elegance is manufactured. Thor knows this well—he was there while Loki spent hours perfecting the way he moved his hands to hide their constant tremble, to erase the jerky, birdlike motion. he sparred with Loki, taught him how to carry himself straight-backed, taught him how to sit at a table without slouching or putting his feet on the chair.

Thor used to wonder why Loki tried to hard to hide everything that made him different, when it so clearly hurt him. he'd seen the way Loki broke down and loosened when he came back to his rooms at the end of a long day, the way he curled up as small as he could, picking at his skin the way he couldn't outside. and Thor had only seen him because Loki allowed him to; he treasured the comfort must have Loki felt around him, to drop all his careful walls.

it hurt now, to watch Loki pretend there was nothing different about him at all. to watch Loki move and speak with a fluidity borne of lifelong practice and pain and act like it came naturally to him. he didn't drop the farce even when they were alone together, and Thor wanted to go to him. he wanted to pull Loki closer and cup his face and ask him why he was trying so hard, who he was trying to fool on this ship in the middle of nowhere.

he wanted to pull Loki closer, period. kiss his hair, rub his hands because they always hurt, from the magic and because he moved them in a way opposite to what they otherwise would. he wanted to kiss Loki because that always calmed him down, because Loki deserved to feel calm and safe.

Loki loves Thor so much—he loves the way Thor writes. He loves the way Thor's sentences are constructed to get across what he means, like when he says The moon was inside the water, that's what he wants to say.

Because Loki is autistic, and not very good at metaphors; they confuse him and annoy him although he loves them everybody keeps telling him not to take them literally, and he hates it.

But Thor says what he means, and doesn't think in twisty lines that Loki has to bend his mind around. Everything he does is crystal clear to Loki, all his motives and methods, and if they are ever not, Thor explains himself to Loki. It's his one point of safety and return, the one place where he doesn't have to sprint to keep up with the world, because Thor will slow down for him every time.

I'm in an angsty mood tonight, and I can't stop thinking about genderqueer, autistic seidr-weaver Loki, who works at a bookshop that's closing down and she's probably not going to make rent this month. she ran away from home years back because her dad was a transphobic, ableist piece of shit.

and then she runs into her Thor, who is a Literal Prince, What's He Doing In This Part Of Town, and turns out he's looking for a mage to help him complete a mission for his dad the king, and that's how Loki ends up being the Prince's Hand, his magic weaver. and it's super angsty because Loki has a ton of issues, and he doesn't know how to open up at all, but eventually Thor's love and Frigga's gentleness and Odin's gruffly paternal attitude win her over.
