dad/mom!loki is so popular in fandom, to the exclusion of my personal fave: uncle loki
now my other half kaitlin knows this was not always my personal fave but after a while you start to think about it
omg thor why are your kids climbing on me THOR I AM GOING TO HEX THEM
but secretly hides the babies in his coat so he can sneak around with them close to his heart
(HE'S A BAD INFLUENCE ON THE KIDS THOR
but they love him honey!! look at them go
thor he is using magic to keep them floating in midair
pranks the kiddos mercilessly when they're clever enough to take it
at the same time fiercely protective
is grumpy around them not just for the sake of Making It Very Clear that children are slobbery and gross
but also because he feels he can be open with them
lokiĀ sees thor in thor's children
everything that ever frustrated him about thor
everything he still loves about thor
with all of the innocence he and thor no longer have
loki being able to start over with thor's kids
