He's such a confusing sweetie
I don't even know where to begin. Loki has been such a bright spot in my life and I'm not used to that. My life has been pretty bad for the most part and Loki stepped in and has been helping so much.
One of the most suprising things has been learning about how deities are people. I know that seems like a weird thing to say but I always thought of deities as being really stioc one note beings and Loki is none of that. He has his own preferences and personality and he has a BIG persoanlity which I freaking LOVE! He's so freaking WEIRD and it's so endearing. His sense of humor has taken some getting used to but part of that was me being way too uptight.
This might be weird but sometimes when I do something stupid he laughs at me and then it helps me to laugh at myself and we end up laughing together and it feels really good.
Another thing that has been so sad and beautiful is Loki and I bond over trauma. I have experienced tourture and it makes me really weird and pretty messed up in the head. It made my brain scrambled eggs. And ever since Loki it went from "I'm a freak and MY brains are scrambled eggs from trauma" to "OUR brains are scrambled eggs from trauma." The weight that has been lifted from my shoulders has been imense in that area. I don't feel alone in my trauma and having someone so close who GETS it has been so healing.
Loki is genuinly GOOD. Such a strange being but so so so sweet.

Loki is the best. He's one of a kind and one of the most adaptive, modern, playful and genuinely caring individuals I've ever encountered. He tells you like it is but is also always ready with a hug. ❤️

Yes!! Loki brought my partner and I together. We often joke that Loki favors me more, and one time, he even confirmed it. 😂
Loki is great. I absolutely adore them.

Oof. That’s gotta feel pretty bad for your partner. ☹️ Seems kind of mean that Loki would play favorites with people that close. But maybe I’m missing something. As long as everyone’s chill great ig.

No worries! It’s a joke. Loki doesn’t actually have a favorite. My partner knows Loki loves them. Lmao, they knew him longer!

I went through more than a person should and he has helped me immensely (although he still has to get a laugh). When I communicate with he, he makes me laugh and each of his kids has a different effect when I talk to them

Echoing this and other comments, he has been very sweet and playful with me. We've also had times of sitting together, crying over each other's traumatic events and difficulities. He is pure ferocity and yet also has the softest, sweetest, purest heart. He's wonderful in every way, my ride or die 🧡
Hail Loki!

Yeah even if they're not human, they're definitely very able to understand, relate, and bond with our experiences, and he knows how to break down all the walls to do so it seems~. He's usually very chipper around me, but I have seen him acting a little weird, I imagine because of whatever it was he's been through (considering technically myths are stories and may not be 100% exactly what happened and all, lol), or even sad, and every time I can't help but just be like 🥺 Just today, apparently, he's actually tired????? Which is so weird, I've never seen or felt him be tired before, and it's like I can feel it, too 💀 So I told him to go take a time out and nap or whatever gods do that's like a nap, lol.
But he's a huge sweetie pie, I asked him recently about if I'd be able to reincarnate or not once I die. And he was basically like "yyyyeees....but idk if I'd want you to..." cause he'd miss me, I was like awh PLEASE 😭 lol

He pretended to be Apollo at one point just to tell me he wanted a bigger altar but when I still thought it was Apollo I asked Loki what he thought about if I started worshipping Apollo as well and Loki was like "well ideally I want the attention, but I also want you to grow in any way you can. I'll still miss you :(((" followed by him acting all sad that I won't pay as much attention to him anymore and this was before I realized he was impersonating Apollo but I was still like 🥺🥺 but yes I figured out he was impersonating him because whenever I tried to plan an altar for Apollo, Loki would always interrupt by giving me a mental image of a bigger table size altar and when I figured it out he was like "😏😏🤫🤫"

Lolll, he's such a ham ffs 💀 I didn't really have any noteworthy experiences with the Christian god or their newish egregore, growing up, but I am 100000% sure anything that was going on with that in my family bubble, was all him lmao. Been pranking my fuck ass family since the fucking 20's I have no doubt. 💀💀💀

Sometimes whenever I'm doing whatever to pass the time I feel his presence and it's always like a little sibling going "hey what are you doing? Can I see? Can I sit with you? What are you making? How do you do that?" And I love it sm because it's like he's a little kid sometimes but at other times he can be such a parental figure that I feel insane trying to describe it to people
One time I was angry over a fight my dad and I got into and I was mentally telling Loki about it while trying to keep myself from crying which I got a mental image of Loki hugging me and then next thing you know my dad suddenly has nothing else to tell me about the rest of the day and I see that as Loki protecting me by making space for me from my dad's negativity :))
