The【ＶＡＲＩＡＮＴ】Who Would Be King

Don't tell me free will doesn't exist. I'm proof that it does. And if it doesn't, it soon will, because I'm going against my universe-ordained nature and being who I want to be, not a failure, not a villain, not evil, not a weak runt. I am Loki, prince of two worlds, God of Mischief, Lie-Smith, Asgard's Seiðmenn Supreme, Odinson, proud hedonist, giant-slayer, flyter, and present wielder of Lævateinn. And now I am God of Stories who watches you all. ᛚᛟᚲᛁ ((RP for Loki of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with some comic and mythological influences. Up to date on the MCU except for some non D+ streaming shows, primarily set after season 1 of Loki, but will also RP during any other point of his life (see canon point list.)) ᛚᛟᚲᛁ Magic!anon: none ᛚᛟᚲᛁ ((formerly of thegodwhowouldbeking.

((I have terrible internet so I’m going to be doing the best I can, Tumblr chews through data allotments like Alioth.  I figure the 8th-13th of every month is going to be the worst, so be aware of that little issue

Revision Nov 2023: I am still forced to use mobile tethering, but I also have a full time job now (including commute time, 7:45am-7pm), and two D&D games every other week at the moment. I’m jam packed into Sims 4 modding and D&D homebrewing so my attention is many places…ironically))

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

((Brain has been in One Thing At a Time, Dangit! mode—between full-time work, not being finished with theme revamps, two D&D homebrew projects that are 60%+ finished that I’m not doing, and my latest Sims CC creationfest, my brain has been lasering in on not-Tumblr >.< I do see my notifications though, so I am aware.))

"...right. Who are you, exactly?" He blinked slowly, groggily, not really used to this still, and the shoelaces vanished, teleported back to where he actually was, instead of this projection here. "Why shoelaces?"

[of-bushido]

"Who am I? I'm the most mischievous shinigami to exist!" Or, she liked to think that. "I'm Narvi Sasaki aaaand I don't know why shoelaces. Something about that's how they could distinguish themselves from other people who use the tumbly site."

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"Tumbly...site?" Another confused look before his eyes looked as though they were reading something. "Oh. I see. But it's hardly a forbidden place, why veil it with coded phrases?"

[thefrigga]

Frigga nodded understanding.

“It’s alright, and I could maybe help you with that.” She smiled softly up at him.

She was sure she could figure out some tips that could help him.

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"I would very much like that." His eyes wandered before latching onto something invisible, grabbing it, and holding it in his hands before touching it to the inside of his wrist, which lit up green just briefly. "Sorry. Little bit distracted. It's important, I assure you."

[thefrigga]

“of course.” Frigga said.

She looked up at him curiously wondering what exactly was going on. She trusted however it was important for him to be preoccupied so much.

“i trust that it is. May I ask where you are?”

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"The answer would seem nonsensical," he replied initially, before he remembered to whom he was speaking, and Loki paused, looking towards her a little more clearly. "I'm...nowhere. But I can see everywhere. I'm at the end of time and outside of it." A very slow, somewhat lopsided blink. "There's no passage of time here, physically, or...to be honest, I'm still not sure how that works. No age, no fatigue, but I am aware. I think, I move, but I'm even more terrible at measuring the passage of relative time than I was before. It took...a very long time to figure out how to even manage this projection without losing focus on what's here."

[of-bushido]

She looked at his abs, pectorals aaand biceps. "And you're capable of lifting even more than I. Yet here I am, clearly being the deceptive one." It would have been more fun if she could flex and ruin a shirt, but, alas, she could not.

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

The shirt was back. "Then shall we circle back to my original question?"

[of-bushido]

"My face is on my head, which is between my shoulders and not on my back." She at least remembered the original question.

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"Didn't quite go far enough back, but I'll take it. Not every species does have a face on their heads, oddly enough, or rather, they don't have heads on their necks. A bit like false eye spots on butterflies."

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"...presidential shoelaces?"

[of-bushido]

"It's something the cool kids are doing, I think they tell each other that they like their shoelaces... and the thing is that they stole them from the president." She's trying her best to keep from giggling at such a silly thing!

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"...right. Who are you, exactly?" He blinked slowly, groggily, not really used to this still, and the shoelaces vanished, teleported back to where he actually was, instead of this projection here. "Why shoelaces?"

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

((the fact that Marvel.com has Loki's MCU profile like this is making me giggle with "yeah......that's about right"))

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

((me: you should make a Power Grid for each canon point, or groups of canon point, because post-s2 has at least one Radical Change from the rest of the MCU canon points

also me: but that means I have to do something, and I don't wanna do something, I'm already doing three or four somethings))

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

He certainly wasn't going to say what he was thinking. It wasn't the least bit appropriate. "It's just a bit of friendly, er, ribbing. Besides, I hardly expect those of superior physical strength to have an easy time creating the...Hulk look."

[of-bushido]

"Looks can be deceiving, especially when it comes to mutants. You'd think I'd have more muscle definition than this, though." She flexed her arms, there were muscles, they just weren't what one would see in someone who could lift five tons without breaking into a sweat. Genetically... her lineage had muscles, large ones even.

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

He said nothing. He only turned his shirt invisible.

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"I'm sorry, was that not your face? I was rather under the impression that that was where you kept it, but clearly, I was mistaken. Perhaps it lies on your back?"

[of-bushido]

"My foot's about to be five inches up your ass if you don't knock it the hell off."

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

He certainly wasn't going to say what he was thinking. It wasn't the least bit appropriate. "It's just a bit of friendly, er, ribbing. Besides, I hardly expect those of superior physical strength to have an easy time creating the...Hulk look."

[of-bushido]

(from L-1130 to Lyn) “I see the muscle shirt came today. Muscles coming tomorrow?”

"Wanna come say that to my face? I already have muscles. The shirt I ordered was supposed to go under another shirt that's cut too low."

[thevariantwhowouldbeking]

"I'm sorry, was that not your face? I was rather under the impression that that was where you kept it, but clearly, I was mistaken. Perhaps it lies on your back?"
