[ The best way to deal with crippling revelations is to make inane posts. Well. Maybe not so inane since he is genuinely lost. ]

What is the different between a boyfriend and a boy friend? Are there various levels of friendship that are distinguished by sex? The online literature on this subject is perplexing in nature. How does one earn these titles?

I still maintain that this friends with benefits is not likely to play out in the long term.

[spellslots]

I've made it work, it's not that hard if you don't get weird about it.

[dothelokimotion]

And that's rare in itself.

[spellslots]

Maybe I'm just that good :)

[Or he's just good at keeping his emotions where they're supposed to be, buried super deep.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ No one is that good. Loki may struggle with his own feelings, but he is uncannily perceptive when it comes to the feelings of others. He can pick them up with ease.

But in this case, he does not see the need. ]

An exception must exist.

[spellslots]

Flatterer.

For reals, though, most relationships don't last long term, that's kinda just how life works. Might as well just roll with whatever works for you, you know?

[dothelokimotion]

I do not. While there are some who live for the moment, our moments stretch into the horizon.

[ Fandral is Fandral, he doesn't count. Normally, Loki would agree, but it feels like a fallacy more than ever.

( because everything changed so quickly. because thor fell in love with humanity and loki cannot see it as anything but the pain it will bring. ) ]

I would not do such a thing for the heartbeat of an emotion.

[spellslots]

[Oh, Loki.]

I get that I'm not exactly on your level when it comes to time, but I still have been and am gonna be around for a while so I'm not coming at this from a human perspective.

[he Gets It, or at least he can sort of get it.]

It's like a meal, just cause it's not gonna last forever doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps. I cannot say I enjoy the act of eating these days either.

[spellslots]

[That's called depression, buddy.]

You should let me cook something for you. I've been told I'm pretty great.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Like he knows that. After all, he's been sliding for a while. Loki has only slowed the descent of late. ]

I fear I would not be a good audience to your culinary skills.

[spellslots]

You never know, maybe I'll impress you ;)

I'm willing to take the risk.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hesitates. This is not the first time since he's arrived that people have stepped forward over his eating habits. Looking at it from afar, Loki is well aware as to why and how much of it is apparent at first glance. He's lost his taste for the spice of life and it shows from his dispassionate attitude.

Don't waste your breath slides off his tongue easily. But his fingers do not move. Compassion? Cruelty? Ignorance? Or perhaps it is just a memory of a woman who made his stay in prison comfortable. ]

Then I shall hold you to high standards.

[spellslots]

[God help him he's going to try to replicate The Recipe from Teseralia, even if he still hasn't managed to get it right, maybe this time it'll be a success.]

Those are the only standards I'll be held to.

You got any dietary requirements I should know about?

[dothelokimotion]

[ He considers his Jotun background and dismisses it. ]

None that I know of.

[spellslots]

That is way easier for me to work with, good answer.

You've gotta bring the wine, FYI, that's how this shit works.

[dothelokimotion]

Any kind in particular or am I allowed to choose at my own discretion?

Otherwise I shall hear no complaints later.

[spellslots]

A white would go best with the dish I've got in mind, but otherwise you've got free reign. That's a lot of power to have.

[dothelokimotion]

I shall use it wisely.

[spellslots]

I have the utmost fucking faith.

How's two nights from now work for ya?

[dothelokimotion]

It will suffice. I shall see you then.

[spellslots]

👌👌👌👌

[dothelokimotion]

Why are you making rabbits at me.

[spellslots]

It's an OK hand! You know the gesture, right?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ahh. ]

I think I see it now.
