Loki and Demeter (LO Headcannons) #1
“I can explain.”
“Can you?”
“If you give me thirty seconds to think of a lie”
I was looking up incorrect quotes and this would be Demeter and Loki’s relationship in a nutshell since they have many things in common but their personnality are extreme opposites.
It would be so interesting to have these two talk together, especially since Loki really lived what Demeter fears the most: the harm of their own children.
But even with this, it’s not in Loki’s nature to overprotect on the contrary. Go out there, stir some shit up, that’s the only way you’ll learn. He would rather go and murder whoever harm his kids (unless he’s stuck like with his loyalties to Asgard) than shelter them. As a God of the vikings this isn’t really surprising.
Demeter wouldn’t understand how he could claim loving his children let letting them face such terrible fates and Loki don’t see how building walls around Persephone is going to help her in front of real danger.
But deep down, I know these two would respect and understand each other more than their peers. After all, they’re both mothers.
