some doodles from tonight of @oztrichbunz‘s precious water-themed Genos who I’m absolutely going to draw more of in the futureヽ(´ヮ´)ﾉ
@anjelzjelly129 I’ve fallen in love with your drawings of Genos with an undercut and I used that concept here except with a ponytail (which I am,, very bad at drawing,,,, I have almost never drawn hair pulled back uughhguh)
now that the artblock is gone, the laptop is fixed, and I’m no longer sick (surprise, I had a 48 hour flu) I can FINALLY DO THINGS AGAIN
A short AU piece where Loki made the mistake of telling Kara he was a frost giant before taking her to see Frozen
"And what was the lesson of that movie?" Loki knew Kara likely didn't even hear him, careening down the theater hallway, but he liked to pretend his parenting was at least somewhat effective.
"We should always love our sisters!" Kara twirled and hummed one of the many annoying songs from the film.
"Well, perhaps." Loki couldn't help but roll his eyes a bit. "Brothers, however, are a completely different story."
"What did you think the lesson was, daddy?" Kara stopped twirling long enough to take his hand, and despite the addled state of his brain, he couldn't help but smile. Kara loved movies, and if she adored them, he could bear two mind-numbing hours every few weeks for her sake.
"It was obvious," he said, hefting her into his arms. Loki wriggled the tips of his fingers, letting them frost over ever so slightly, watching as she clapped in delight. "Parents don't know best when it comes to children and ice magic."
***
Kara now owned her own Elsa and Anna dolls, a tiny stuffed reindeer, and a sleigh, but the toys only seemed to fuel her obsession. She was happy enough playing in their living room, but the wistful looks through the window at stubbornly blue skies could only mean one thing.
"Daddy, just a little snow? They wanna make a snowman! Please? Please please please please please?"
"You saying please more than once isn't going to make me change my mind," Loki said, glancing up from his paper.
"With a cherry on top? With a whole buncha cherries on top?" Kara blinked, and by the Nine, Loki could never say no to the big eyes and the slightly pouting lower lip.
"Oh, fine," he said, with an exadgurated sigh. "But can you at least wait until it's somewhat cloudy?"
***
Kara had once checked out a book, about not giving a mouse a cookie. Little did Loki realize he should have read this book as a parenting manual on what not to give your small child.
The snow, a localized flurry over Washington Heights and most of Harlem, should have been enough. But Stephen and George had taken Kara to watch Frozen again with Alice, and now she wanted an ice castle.
"It doesn't have to be as big as Elsa's castle," Kara said, as if this made it a completely reasonable demand.
"I- how do I explain this," Loki said, crouching down. "It's not that I don't want to make you one. It's just very hard for other people to ignore me making even a not-so-small ice palace."
"But you shouldn't care! You should let it go!"
"No, no, please don't start singing -"
It was too late, and Kara was already in full Broadway belt mode, and Loki smiled tightly at the gawking passers-by.
"I will give you an ice palace and the entire gift shop at the Natural History Museum if you can wait." Loki prayed she would stop, an Kara mercifully did. Bribery was such an effective tool sometimes.
"Wait for what?"
"For me to ask a little favor..."
***
"Do you want to build a snowman?"
"Agent Barton, unless you want some of the appendages you are more fondly attached to to freeze and fall off, I'd suggest you'd stop singing." Loki grit his teeth. He had asked Stark to use the Expo grounds - he hadn't asked for the Avengers to be an audience to this little experiment.
"I wasn't singing." Barton smirked and crossed his arms across his chest. "Just musically asking if you wanted to make something that's a little more doable for you."
"A simple palace is easy enough for my magic," Loki said. "In theory, anyway."
"When are you getting this show on the road, Snow Queen?" Stark had on a ridiculous snow suit on, and he held a pair of skis in his hand. "Some of us are ready to hit the slopes once you make them. Even if Cap forgot his sled."
"You know, not all of us use our uniforms for completely inappropriate reasons," Rogers said.
"I can't help it if the rest of you don't have my brilliance." Stark shrugged. "Now c'mon, your Icy Highness, hurry it up."
Loki felt the tips of his fingers turn white, glistening with ice, and he wondered if Kara would be put out if he impaled Stark on an icicle before he made her castle. "Will you stop calling me that?"
"Oh my God, that is so insensitive of me." Loki blinked. Was that an actual apology? "The Queen is your mom. So move it along, Snow Princess."
There was a flash of blueish-white, but instead of one dead billionaire, there was a billionaire in a very form fitting, very sparkling blue dress.
"Uncle Tony, You look so pretty!" Kara clapped her hands as the other Avengers looked on with varying degrees of shock and amusement. She ran not up to Stark, however, but to Loki, and hugged his legs tight. "You really are just like Elsa!"
"Just like her?" Loki knelt down for a moment to kiss her beanie-capped curls, before he stood and extended his hands. He felt the cold move in him, through him, and into the air, where it swirled into elegant, pristine crystalline walls, turrets, and soaring roofs. "A little better, I should think."
"As - God, if you could do that in steel you could have just made me a new penthouse - though don't you need a buttress right there?" Stark hobbled over in a pair of tiny, delicate, icy heels. "But as impressive as this is, could you change me out of this?"
Loki could hear Kara's delighted shrieks as she ran into the castle. "Such a beautiful dress, and you already want out of it?" He clucked and shook his head. "There's gratitude for some people."
"It's not exactly my cut and not my color at all and given how chilly it is out?" Stark looked down to his chest before crossing his arms across it self-consciously. "Or nippy, shall I say?"
"Oh Tony, I wouldn't know these things," Loki said, clapping the man across his bare shoulders. "The cold never bothered me anyway."
Yay for meds and relaxation routines and trying to exercise finally, slowly kicking in - and muses following suit. A little preview of the next chapter of "Thor's Days" for anyone waiting and reading!
“It’s a bunny. Or a bear. Or a bunny bear. But I want it.” Kara tore her gaze away from the fluffy pink behemoths swinging from the booth to bat a pair of wide brown eyes at Thor.
Loki knew that gaze. He knew it all too well. It used to get toys that never made it from the store to home, ice cream cones that ended up in puddles on the sidewalk, and bedtimes that extended into early hours of the morning. Now it - well, to be honest, she still got those things, but he liked to think he put up a token protest before he gave in to her demands.
Thor, however, didn’t face the gaze daily. He was a stranger and thus when Kara dragged him from booth to booth to win the menagerie in Loki’s arms, he had no defence.
“If it is what you truly wish,” Thor answered, and Kara replied by flinging her arms around his knees.
“It is it is it is!” Even if this was the one day Thor was to have with her, he could scarcely watch his daughter hug his so-called brother. In a perfect world, she would be aiming her tiny little sandal at Thor’s shin and her occasionally yet exceedingly sharp tongue at everything else, but as Loki had learned, and learned well, there were no perfect worlds, not anywhere in the Nine Realms.
Writing from the POV of a four-year-old girl and trying to walk the thin, thin line between believability and readability. THIS IS FUN AND TERRIFYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Thor cleared his throat. “I believe what you mean to say, Lady Darcy, is doctor awesome science princess.” He beamed at Jane. “If that is what you wish to be called.”
Jane flushed and turned as scarlet as the setting sun. “You, you can totally call me that.”
Only MTV movie awards post I will make, I promise, but OMG, I just about squeed to death because Quvenzhane Wallis (the PB for Kara) and Tom Hiddleston have now shared a space beyond my headcanon. o.O I cannot wait for the screencaps.
