- Tess picked up eye-rolling from Loki and does not hesitate to over-use the gesture when around ones close to it
- Loki learns to appreciate his post-sceptre blue eyes because they remind him of Tess (and now they match!)
- Tess’ eyes frequent all the various colours of space, but seem to spend much more time with shades of green when Loki is around
- Tess likes the action genre and shorter pieces of media!! Loki prefers longer serials like dramas, so long as it doesn’t get too repetitive. Tess doesn’t like reading, unless Loki is doing it aloud.
- They both find it fun to mix their magic together! It happens involuntarily sometimes, they’ll be sitting together or watching the stars and then realise oh, we’re not holding hands, our magic is just tangling together again, whoops,
- Tess intrinsically knows... everything about space and the universe itself even. What he does not know is the terminology different people use. This makes for interesting discussions and Tess soaking up new words whenever Loki is talking about something, and Tess describing phenomenons in very abstract unrecognisable ways leaving Loki confused over such things as a description of the sun. Astronomy conversations turn into guessing games.
- Loki is genuinely surprised when Tess respects that he doesn’t like overt displays of affection in public (and sometimes not in private either) !
- Tess doesn’t need to sleep and never did in humanoid form before but since they started sharing a bed has started to!!
- Loki suspects Tess has a blood kink but doesn’t know enough about kinks or what’s typically considered hot to be sure
- Running semi-gag of kissing each other’s hand when apologising
- Tess gets very flustered when cuddling. Not used to people holding them for the sake of holding them/just being close.
- Loki finds it easier to sleep soundly when someone else is near. It can be Thor, it can be Tess, on a few notable occasions it’s been Val, but it’s a surefire way to avoid bad dreams and he’d much rather avoid those. The people in question either are used to the clinging (Thor) will never get used to it (Tess) are convinced he does it on purpose to mess with people (Val).
- Tess loves hard candy!! For the texture and colours. Not sure if she has tastebuds, but she says they taste great so who knows!!
- Tess likes long swishy robes/flowy outfits but also isn’t fond of wearing layers !
- Loki annoyedly muttering about where he left a specific knife and Tess knowing exactly where it is, or teleporting it to her hand
- they have different definitions of what a mortal is but will use the other’s one when conversing together—this does sometimes leave other people confused though
- Tess uses a staff/spear if anything at all, Loki sticks to knives. They know how to use each other’s weapons to a point where doing a fancy move correctly will have them looking at the other mid-fight expecting praise/acknowledgment lmao
- Tess obviously has constellation freckles and gives off variable amounts of various radiation
- (either of those can have a deteriorating effect on Loki, but he kind of doesn’t care.)
- Loki makes so many space related puns. A lot fly over Tess’ head but its getting used to picking up on the tone/peculiar phrasing’s when they’re said and asks! When it actually recognises a word and understands the wordplay on its own is a momentous occasion and you bet Loki’s smiling so hard
- they have a collection of small cube and knife shaped objects that have been gifted to each other under the guise of ‘it reminded me of you 🥺’
- people often ask how the sex works if Tess is technically a cube and may not even have a gender or blood etc. lots of snickering and no answers ensues.
- Tess changing their size for various tasks. That’s it. That’s the headcanon. Tess goes giant and Loki’s got hearteyes. Tess goes tiny and Loki’s got hearteyes.
- Loki introducing Tess to coffee. Obviously, she loves it. Even though she likes very little ‘mortal’ food and drink. Loki hates coffee. It’s too bitter. He was giving it to her as an attempted prank. It backfired. Now they always have coffee available at home. All the time.
