Look! The snake has entered your timeline, Mobius!
“Hey Dad, can we get a snake?”
Don: Sure, kid except surprise! Instead of a regular snake, here’s a 6-foot-tall god of chaos who is also my boyfriend :3
Remember how Loki’s infamous snake prank involved Thor’s trust being shattered the second Loki revealed his true form and bit him? Now contrast that with this scene: Loki slips through time and stands silently in Mobius’s life, visible but harmless, as if offering himself as the proverbial snake, one that Mobius can trust. “Here’s your snake, but this time, I promise not to bite.”
Loki follows Mobius home, quietly inserting himself into his personal world. It’s so snake-like, slithering into the crevices of Mobius’s life, entwining himself around his timeline, but never demanding to be acknowledged.
