Loki of all people shows up at a dinner/cocktail party that your family forced you to attend, all because your family have connections with the Avengers or something stupid like that. More than that, the god seems to want to....talk.....to you?
Contains: Music, Comfort, Advice
This audio didn't quite end up how I imagined it when I started writing it, but I actually really like it! I like sassy Loki showing up where he's not wanted, and I feel like maybe he would relate to a listener who hates going to family functions during the holidays? Now, I wouldn't say that Loki gives the most sound advice here lol, but maybe some things that you can take to heart this Holiday season?
~Audio Transcript Below~
Loki: I wonder......why are you all huddled up here alone in the corner....when a grand spectacle of a party takes place around you.....
Well....there must be a reason....
*pause*
Well.....if you ask me, it's because this party is the last place you want to be.
And you're here without anyone else to make it at least the smallest bit more enjoyable, aren't you?
*pause*
Because you are not alone in that fact.
*pause*
Family? *scoffs* Please.....even if any of my family were left besides Thor and they were at a party I was forced to attend I would stay away from them as well......
*pause*
The reason why here?
As much as I am a man who enjoys talking about himself, that's not what we're doing here.
*sighs*
Alright, if you're so keen on knowing....I'm here because I don't like them......and I'm better than them.....and it's fun for me to remind them so.....
*pause*
Spite is a perfectly good reason for doing things.....
*sighs* Oh please.....don't act like you're better just because you don't act upon petty and spiteful feelings and thoughts. You still the thoughts and feelings......the only difference between you and I.....is that I'm allowing myself to have fun.....since there's no other way I'm going to get it here....
I told you I don't like them......do you really need me to spell it out further?
Can I tell you a secret? Nothing feels better to me, than showing up in a place where I'm not wanted.....and knocking everyone there down a peg. They're not better than me, and this helps remind them so.
*pause*
Own yourself and show those who would want you gone that they have no power over you.
You cannot live your life forever under the shadows and the ridicule of those who claim to care and love you but do not.
You will not live....
*sighs*
Have you ever heard of the phrase, "Don't let others make you feel inferior without your consent?"
Perhaps it's something that you should take to heart.
Take it from someone who was also the black sheep of their family.
*pause*
Well, my situation might have been different, but you're missing the point.
Family, regardless of blood or not, shouldn't make you feel the way that you are currently. It's unfortunate that you've allowed them to continue to treat you so poorly.
*sighs*
I know that smiting them all or enacting revenge upon them isn't an option for everyone, especially when you're a Midgardian, but you understand what I mean, yes?
I forget sometimes that there are repercussions that I can avoid that others cannot. Most cannot throw tasteful but scathing comments at family or stand up for themselves without being punished. Most wouldn't be able to survive being on their own without any aid, so I recognize my privilege there. There is something to think about however.....
You have those who enjoy your company yes, that provide relief from the world, that give you hope, that give you joy?
Then why are you not instead of here?
*pause*
As I said, here because this is fun for me, causing mischief, being a relative ass as some people call me. You're here, and it's not. I daresay that it's relative to torture for you.
You should go where you are celebrated, not where you are merely tolerated.
Even if you can't avoid parties like this, or family events, it's important to be with those who raise you up, not put you down.
*pause*
*scoffs*
I, better than anyone, know the difference. Just because your family or friends are 'Nice' as you say, doesn't mean that they're, 'Good'.
Everyone pretends during this time of year that they're wonderful, kind, gentle people who want nothing more than peace and goodwill on this Earth.
And yet, these are the people who in the same breath can cast out their families, their friends, even people they do not even know because they are percieved as different, and therefore--in their eyes--wrong.
*chuckles softly* Perhaps.....but I don't perform as much villianry as I used to. Reformed I'm told.....practically a Saint.....
*chuckles*
Well....I still the god of mischief. I wouldn't do to ruin that part of my reputation.
*pause*
Now.....I suggest, that you, at your earliest convenience, gather together with those who actually treat you well and forget this night ever happened. It'll be good for you.....
*pause*
*laughs* And who would ever believe that? A god of mischief treating you better than the hundreds of people here.....including your own family?
*pause*
*sighs* I suppose you're welcome. Now stop moping and take my advice already?
Now if you'll excuse me, I have more Midgardians to torment.......Which ones did you say were your family again?
*chuckles*
Excellent.
