Loki, handing Mobius a dagger: I enchanted this. So you can defend yourself. But also, if you ever use it against me, I’ll be devastated and the fallout will shatter three planes of existence.
Mobius: So… this is a love language?
Loki: Obviously.
Loki, dramatically cornering Mobius in a hallway: You are the only person across all timelines who’s ever made me feel like I wasn’t monstrous. So naturally, I would destroy anyone who tries to make you feel less than divine.
Mobius: Aw, thank you, wait. Anyone?
Loki: Even yourself. Especially yourself. Say one self-deprecating thing and I will obliterate your self-image with affection.
what do Loki and Mobius wear to different places? ex. grocery shopping, a party, just lounging around at home, work, etc.
YESYESYES LOVE THIS QUESTION. Thank you, Anon!!

Lokius Outfit Headcanons!!!
LOKI
Loki makes everything an event with how OVER THE TOP they are. Like, they only ever wear anything casual when they're at home alone (or with Mobius).
No outfit is ever understated, and it usually takes her a couple hours to get ready (much to Mobius' dismay).
Overall, I feel like Loki aligns with a more gothic clothing aesthetic, specifically whimsigoth, but just gothic in general. There also tends to be the occasional pop of cottagecore and soft academia.
As for color, Loki tends to stick to more muted, earthy, or monochromatic tones (emerald green, muted greens, browns and beiges, tans, black, white, sometimes the occasional pop of brighter colors like gold or yellow).
For a simple errand (grocery shopping, taking Kevin and Sean to/from school, etc, etc), Loki sticks to something "casual" but still very decorated. Maxi skirts, slacks, or looser jeans with a sweater vest over button-ups. Depending on the weather, Loki will wear a full sweater overtop instead a sweater vest.
For more formal affairs (like dates or parties), Loki goes ALL OUT. As the God of Mischief, parties are his DOMAIN.
If they're feeling more fem, they don a green/gold/black dress of some kind. Their favorite styles are either some kind of evening gown (their favorites are tighter ones with an open back and a leg slit that makes Mobius sweat) or a cocktail dress. Typically, they pair any kind of dress with black tights and black heels.
If they're feeling more masc, they opt for a black/green/gold suit of some kind. A white button-up and pocket square paired with slacks and either a suit jacket or a waistcoat of their desired color. Typically, the colored garments are embellished with some kind of embroidered patterns or rhinestones or some other little flourish.
If they're feeling a bit of both, they keep the suit, but they add a little train on the coattails of the suit jacket. More so, they tend to add little "feminine" embellishments like silk gloves and heels. Honestly, when they're feeling both or neither, they sort of mix and match pieces from either outfit until it feels right. There's not an exact science to it.
Of course, any outfit of Loki's is completed with an insane amount jewelry (while still keeping it classy and regal -- not tacky) and a good face of makeup.
As for at-home wear, that is the only place that Loki keeps it simple. Sweatshirts, sweaters, hoodies, fuzzy socks, sweatpants are ALL their jam. Especially if any of those clothing articles are stolen from Mobius.
MOBIUS
Have you ever seen a middle-aged suburban dad on vacation? How they dress? Yeah, that right there is Mobius.
With any outfit he wears, the man goal is to make Loki cringe and try to fix it. He's VERY good at doing that.
Think 70s-early 00s sitcom kind of dad. He gives Bob Duncan from Good Luck Charlie sometimes. Goofy patterns, bright colors that seem to clash and go perfectly together at the same time, t-shirts that have stupid dad jokes on them. That's Mobius.
He doesn't stick to one aesthetic; he is pretty much incapable of that. He doesn't stick to one set of colors either, but he does have an "assigned" color from Loki -- yellow. This is mainly used for when Loki wants them to have matching items like jewelry, it's always green and yellow paired together.
For simple errands, Mobius doesn't dress up too much, but he does keep it clean per Loki's request. Tacky sweaters with bold, graphic designs tucked into slacks and a paired with comfortable loafers or sneakers. If it's a tad too warm for sweaters, he instead picks out one of those awful dad joke tshirts.
For dates and formal occasions, Mobius always has his outfits hand picked by Loki. It's not that Mobius can't pick out his own outfits, it's just that Loki wants to match, and they want any matching outfits they do to be PERFECT.
Mobius' formal outfits usually depend upon what Loki is wearing, the color especially. Usually, Mobius to clad in some kind of suit that leans into a more 70s/80s style with a waistcoat. The color relies on what Loki is wearing, but it's usually a color that is either the same as Loki's or one that compliments Loki's.
Of course, Loki knows their husband, and they make sure that each outfit has splashes of tacky, 80s style patterns. Just for Mobius.
Remember how I said Loki likes to make Mobius sweat with some of their dress options? Yeah, well, Mobius likes to make Loki sweat with his choice in lounge wear.
Mobius loses all of his layers when he's not out and about. His big sweaters and loose slacks get switch out with sweatpants and tshirts that are almost too tight for him (and BOY does he have a sleeper build type of dad bod -- Loki goes nuts for it).
Usually, his lounge wear is paired with a big coffee mug that has some kind of dad joke on it (or the #1 dad mug that Kevin and Sean got him for Father's Day).
BONUS: WORK
In my little AU here, Loki and Mobius both still work for the TVA. This time, though, they're keeping people from destroying branched timelines and making sure that no time-related incidents happen that could destroy the multiverse.
Mobius was still very attached to the old TVA uniform, so he and Loki decided to keep it.
Loki doesn't wear the variant jacket anymore. Instead, he wears a suit jacket that matches Mobius'.
When they go on missions and need to blend in with the time period, Loki almost always conjures them matching outfits.
Mobius always says that he can get his own disguise, but Loki INSISTS that conjuring the outfits is WAY easier.
In reality, it's just an excuse to conjure matching outfits.
That's abt all I got, but this was a fun one to do! Thanks again for the prompt, anon. As always, PLEASE leave a note if you liked these, and feel free to send any fanfic/headcanon prompts to my askbox!!
Dropping in to ask what's a Lokius headcanon you haven't shared before
Because I can’t really think of anything else, I headcanon that after Loki and Mobius reunite, it takes a maddeningly long time for them to get their shit together and both recognise and acknowledge what’s between them, driving the rest of their friends insane with their relentlessly unresolved romantic tension.
They do have a reasonable excuse, that being that they feel too damn comfortable falling back into old habits, bickering and teasing and awkwardly flirting (without having the slightest clue that’s what they’re doing, because they’re stupid). And it will probably take something major for one or both of them to have their “oh” moment… which only leads to increased awkwardness, for a time, because again, stupidity.
Either that, or it’s a very spontaneous thing, when they’re just hanging out casually one day, and it slams into them unsuspectingly with all the force of a bullet train.
