Your little Loki is too precious 😭🙏 Do you think he ever gets babysat by any of the Avengers? And do you think he likes having his hair done (e.g pig tails, braids, etc) :3

oh my god I love this question~

my goodness, braid that boy’s hair and he’s out like a light.

I have a little headcanon that I believe Loki would be drawn to the women in his life on instinct. with how close he is to Frigga, I can imagine him latching onto Natasha and Pepper (my ladies <3) and they would undoubtedly dote on him. they fawn over his tumbling (unfairly perfect) curls and delight in braiding his hair before a nap or an outing. they provide quality cuddles and comfort when Loki’s separation anxiety stirs, reassuring him in sweet, saccharine voices.

Tony is a tough one for Loki—fun, but a little overwhelming. fuelled by the time he accidentally made him cry, however, Tony learns quickly when to tone it down when the baby’s feeling a little fragile. he certainly fuels Loki’s desire for chaos, and once they’re comfortable with one another, they’re a bit of a terrifying combination.

Steve looks an awful lot like Thor, according to Loki. so he’s the first of the boys he gets comfortable with. Loki takes a great interest in Steve’s art and insists on drawing alongside him with his crayons. Steve is also the only other Avenger whobcan pick him up! if Thor’s not around and Loki’s feeling a little extra clingy, you’ll most likely find him cuddled up in the Captain’s strong arms, head resting wearily on the man’s broad shoulder.

Bruce is understandably a little nervous when he first meets Loki. kids aren’t always the most predictable and Loki being Loki (even with such a young headspace) has a love for chaos. but after he makes breakfast for a couple of drowsy gods (homesickness can be hard for the baby; sleepless nights and tears ensue) he sees the sweet, cuddly side to the youngest Odinson that warms his heart. not long after, however, he witnesses a tantrum. but instead of anxiety, Bruce finds himself empathising with such a ferocious temper and even helps Loki calm down.

Clint is, unsurprisingly, great with Loki off the bat. he’s a father, after all! and he makes it known. he’s quick to ensure Loki gets all the nutrients he needs from his heals. when Loki comes down with a tummy bug one day, he’s ready with home remedies: apple juice, toast or oatmeal to ease his tummy, blankets and movies at the ready. he’s also great with guiding a flustered Thor through tantrums, when it’s best to ignore the obvious plea for attention and when to comfort.

if it’s not obvious, I’m a huge sucker for the Loki + Avenger trope. this ask was wonderful, thank you <3

I've a few questions about your van. How do you survive without a bathroom and kitchen? And how do you shower? How will you continue with your Tshirt business while on the road during the summer?

ok so for the bathroom- we don’t have to survive without a bathroom lol, it takes a little bit of creativity but you can still have all the comforts that you’d normally have at home. you can buy mobile camping toilets or build a compost toilet yourself, or you can just take a shit in the woods and pee in a container at night, or you can have a small bucket with biodegradable bags to poop in if you’re in a public area or something, it just takes a little bit of adjustment. also if you don’t feel comfortable with any of that you can just go into a gas station or grocery store or something and use their washrooms there :) 

for the kitchen- the van comes with a kitchen, it comes with a fridge, a propane 2 burner stove, cupboards and shelves and a sink too. but we are personally taking out the fridge because they vanagon fridges aren’t that efficient and we don’t really have anything that we need to keep cold 24/7, so shawn is just going to install shelving more for food storage, and then we are just going to get a cooler to keep our food cool :) we also aren’t going to cook in the van (it’s way too dusty in there and it just grosses me out and I prefer to cook outside in the fresh air), we are going to get a camp stove or whenever we’re in campsites we will just use their fire pits :) and we can use the sink to wash dishes and everything and we’ll put a dish drying rack where the stove is since we won’t be using that 

for the shower- campsites usually have showers and a lot of towns have public showers that anyone can use for free. we are also getting a solar shower and you can also get road showers which is basically a giant solar shower, and you can also clean yourself in lakes and other bodies of water :) 

for the t-shirts- there is tons of storage space in the van and we’ll be able to fit the t-shirts into the cabinets in the van. whenever we need to make packages we can use our phones if we have data and if not we’ll just go to an area that has free wifi and park there while we make packages. there are post offices in every single town so that’s not an issue at all, we will just send the packages from whatever post office is closest to us in the area we are staying in. 

hope that all makes sense! if you have any more questions just ask :)

Butter

Buttered popcorn. Paula Dean. Buttermilk pancakes. The bouillon sauce mom taught me how to make.

Food, basically

[lokidips]

you know those cool towels that have hoods? well, loki loves them.

[lokidips]

*gives loki headpats and this specific tambourine* here u go :)

[lokidips]

you seem like a very nice user! What happens if the avanger’s find out Loki is an age regressor from Thor while Loki is regressed visiting Thor

gosh, I love this scenario and have so many half written drafts on it… one day I’ll get a fic out.

I think Loki would have an inclination toward women, being close to Frigga, so I can imagine him latching onto to Pepper and Natasha and vice versa. Lots of cuddles and Loki telling them stories of home with unintelligible babbles… both ladies swooning over their baby.

They would all be overprotective, but I think Clint especially. With his experience as a dad, I can picture him making sure Loki eats and drinks enough, that Thor puts him down for a nap before he gets cranky… making sure Tony doesn’t give him anything dangerous.

Steve would colour with him, Tony would shower him with an abundance of toys, Bruce would read to him to calm them both down after a tantrum or stressful day.

I’m a sucker for any Loki and Avengers AUs, so this was very nice to ponder, thank you!

[lokidips]

Hi!!! I adore teeny Loki and your art of him is so cute! Does he have any preferred outfits? And how does he feel about naps?

I think his headspace would be too young to really consider clothes, if they’re comfortable he’s happy!! that being said, he would likely be dressed in overalls (easy for changes + durable) or one of his brother’s oversized sweatshirts, for extra comfort on a home day; especially if they’re apart.

naps, well… depends on his mood. having too much fun? no time for sleeps! getting cranky? not until he has a full belly and sufficient cuddles, thank you very much! overall, if his caregiver is strict on the routine, he will likely go down without too much fuss.

thank you for the ask!

[lokidips]

What do you think regressed Loki likes to do on birthday?

• opening presents, of course! you can never have too many books, or extra stuffies for that matter!

• snuggle in with his caregiver (thor, mobius, etc.) by the fire with a morning bottle and a storybook. He may be high energy, but Loki loves a slow morning.

• a walk to explore, collect odds and ends (flowers, rocks, maybe a nice stick or two) and perhaps even visit a friend(the Valkyrie?) ! if he’s lucky, they’ll offer him a sweet treat for his special day!

• after lunch and a nap, he’ll goad his caregiver(s) into a number of games with his new toys before it’s time for the evening celebration!

• chocolate cake perhaps? or maybe even ice cream cake, though with the weather growing increasingly chilly, they may opt for the former.

• extra cuddles to end off the day, dozing off by the fire with a warm baba and nestled in with his brother…

what do you think he would get up to? what presents would he receive?

thank you for the ask <3

[lokidips]

Hello!! Do you think that little Loki struggles a lot with nightmares leftover from his big thoughts? If so, what do his CGs do to help him calm down after? Do they have a routine that works best? I love your blog btw!

so sorry i’ve taken so long to reply!

i believe so, yes! i would like to delve a little more in the—hopefully near—future.

to answer your second question, it would depend on severity. sometimes he just needs a few cuddles and someone to stay with him till he falls back to sleep. the best part about being in his younger headspace, is that children have an easier time calming when they trust someone so unwaveringly. if Thor (or any caregiver, for that matter) says that’s it’s alright, that he’s safe, then he will almost always believe it without hesitation.

however, if said nightmare hits a little too hard (if we’re going by my Ragnarok au, then perhaps his time with Thanos) then it make take a little more convincing. in this case we’ll assume his caregiver is Thor:

he would gently lift Loki from his crib, and sit with him for awhile, reminding him where he is, that’s big brother is there to take care of everything and keep him safe. to keep him from slipping into a bigger headspace, tell Loki how small he is, whisper about his favourite stuffies, the fun they were going to have when the sun rose; Brunnhilde would come over, they’d go for a morning walk while the weather was still warm. once Loki was breathing slow again, Thor would stand with his brother secure in his arms and take him to the kitchen to make a bottle, before settling in the rocker. Loki would be out before he could quite finish and, if necessary, Thor would give him a quick change before heading to his own room and tucking them both in to fall asleep to the sound of Loki suckling his pacifier, content once again.

and sometimes a nightmare will upset the whole day, leaving Thor with a clingy, anxious little brother. though as time goes on in their little village, those days grow few and far between, and Loki has always been good at bouncing back from a bad day, to laugh and play without reservation…

thank you for the ask!

[lokidips]

I feel Loki would be the type of toddler to seemingly go missing, everyone start searching for her in the house and she's eventually found in the sweet cupboard

absolutely!! everyone would be looking around frantically and imagining the worst, then someone opens a closet and she's just sitting there suckling on a pacifier, playing with a stuffy and looking at their giving with absolute innocence.

[lokidips]

Loki seems like she has many nightmares and so his big bro is well aware how to deal whit them

absolutely!! I intend to write a little more on this in the future, but even outside of regression I still headcanon him as a kid who struggled with nightmares and of course through to his adult life 'cause... come on, the guys been through a lot :,) But then, having the comfort of his big brother (or Mobius, for our Moby fans) will always settle him back down and remind him that he's safe and taken care of.

their routine:

let the baby have a little cry, of course. with some cuddles and kisses

then thor will pick him up and take him into the kitchen to warm up a half bottle of milk with honey and a pinch of cinnamon

clean up the little one’s snotty nose

wipe away any remaining tears and tuck him back into bed side by side

loki will suckle at his bottle while thor reads him a story. he’ll be back to sleep before the story ends…

thank you, anon <3

[lokidips]

Hi! Have been wanting to ask, how attached do you think Loki is to his paci ? Does he get big watery doe eyes when it’s taken away? Is it an immediate soother for him or does he sometimes refuse it when he’s in a fussy mood? I just love the idea of him having little items like that that bring him comfort. And love your blog, as well!

100% attached! he is not happy if it’s taken away, even if it’s to be replaced with a bottle or teething ring. I think it would be an instant soother, though he would also be too stubborn to completely let up with his fussing, he wouldn’t be able to keep it up when his paci is so comforting. fussy before a nap? pacifier and he’s down within the minute. anxious? instantly calmed. the worst you could inflict on him is a cold, where his nose is too stuffy and he can only breathe through his mouth, therefore… no paci. those are the hardest times.

he would definitely have a favourite (I imagine a green one, of course) and if that particular one is lost… well, whoever is taking care of him is not going to have fun time.

thank you anon! I love questions like these <3

[lokidips]

Aaa hello again! I'm so in love with your headcanons that I must return 😭🙏 How would little Loki act when she's ill and how would their carer(s) help?

ah okay, i must admit i want to write a sickfic so bad, ‘cause what is a fanfic writer’s “career” without one?

she would be so fussy, long nights trying to get her comfy without a bottle to take for fear of it coming back up

his favourite stuffy with him at all times

either "naked" all day (just a diap) or bedtime footie onesie all day. no in between, they will cry.

cuddles... so many cuddles. if thor isn't giving him cuddles, mobius is, if mobius isn't, sylvie is.

when his tummy settles, he gets a cookie.

she just wants to be carried.

outside time is still important (as long as it's not too cold), so thor and mobius will take him in a little stroller around the block. sometimes he'll get out for a little bit to investigate a cool leaf or flower growing between pavers.

ultimately he's just very tired though, so he'll be asleep by the time they're back home.

thank you kurt!! i love these, and anyone else feel free to add your own!!

[lokidips]

Loki waking up to big bro Thor checking his diaper and he gets super cranky...he got woken up for this?!

He immediately starts whining and trying to turn over but thor has already started changing him, Loki is so mad, poor baby boy is so sleepy and thor is such a meanie!

Thor soothes him gently

"It's ok baby, it's ok...no need to be so grumpy, you can fall back asleep after this, hm?"

And Thor does finish changing him, and Loki falls back asleep with Thor gently rubbing his back

definitely a grumpy baby >:( if his beauty sleep is disturbed, he will 100% make his discontent known! even if it (as it usually is) is for his own good. I get stuck on a personal debate of which brother is a morning person, if either of them is, and I am very fond of the idea of loki hating early mornings whilst thor is up at the break of dawn, already rearing with that golden prince energy.

maybe they both hate early mornings though, who knows! if anyone would like to share their opinions, please do! I feed off of you guys' thoughts and opinions, so don't be shy :)

thank you anon <3

[lokidips]

So you said that Loki doesn’t like wearing diapers. Can I get some more detail on that or some hcs?

(Diaper rashes, diapers vs pull-ups, patterned vs plain white, ect.)

It comes from an AU fic i’ve been working on for awhile, i won’t go too in depth for the sake of spoilers but:

he often cries when he needs a change, though it’s not because of his need for help doing so, but the reminder that he cannot in fact, go without diapers.

some days he will be more stubborn and thor will let him wear pull-ups instead, though he will usually spend the day on edge for fear of leaking. thor will always be nearby to take him for bathroom breaks.

thor will always check him (he has a strange intuition when it comes to changes), but on the odd occasion that loki realises before him, he usually won’t let himself stay wet for long because he hates discomfort—he’s a very sensitive boy. sometimes however, he will be stubborn enough to leave it for too long or simply won’t notice and he’ll get a rash. he’ll be a pretty grumpy boy for the rest of the day.

when thor discovers a snake patterned diaper and shows it to loki, it changes the game quite a bit. for the first time, loki is getting through changes without crying—perhaps not every time, but certainly an improvement.

despite his difficulties, he loves to run around the house in just a sweater—usually thor’s—and a nappy. it’s only when he realises he’s used it that he gets upset, but again, his favourite animal decorating them helps.

[lokidips]

Is loki onec to trow tantrums?

yes, absolutely! i intend to write a lot of tantrums from him. being a toddler can be eternally frustrating: you can’t get your meaning across with the right words, therefore no one understands you, ergo, tantrum. i think he would also get in a snit about very small things too, like little ones often do.

his caregivers (thor, mobius or whoever), would likely just try to get him to a quiet, private place if they’re out and about. but if they’re at home, the best they can do is leave him to it and just make sure he doesn’t hurt himself in the process. by the end, he would undoubtedly be exhausted and would only want to curl up with his caregiver and have a bottle :)

thank you for the ask!
