Tumblr broke his brain for the umpteenth time.

[gammabruce]

I'm at a loss for words here, mun. Something like this simply would not happen. I know you had hopes, your mindspace practically screams them at me sometimes, but it's just not feasible.

I couldn't take the risk of something going wrong. Which means it'd have to be very, very safe, and slow, and downright boring. Certainly nothing like... well, that. Besides, I don't even own that many necklaces, and...

I mean, I'm not actually thinking about it. I'm only pointing out how things would go if, hypothetically speaking, we ventured into a relationship beyond professional. Which we wouldn't, except as friends, and I think we already are.

No, I don't mean friends with-- actually, I'm not going to finish that statement. Discussion is over.

What is with all the necklaces?

[Way to entirely and completely gloss over everything else Tony because, well, that seems safest.]

[gammabruce]

[This is why you are the best science bro, Tony.]

Your guess is as good as mine. I'd never wear one let alone... all of those.

[not_insane]

Tumblr is certainly a terrifying site.

[AU Loki's brain is a little broken too.]

[gammabruce]

It really, really is. There's a lot of you around there.

[He peeked only once or twice. Honest.]

[not_insane]

I've seen a couple items regarding me and that is where the bulk of my icons come from.

Granted it is the me who is your enemy from the looks of some of the images.

[starknaked]

Obviously someone that has never been in a lab. The number of accidents that could be caused by all those dangly bits is just terrifying.

And I don't only mean the necklaces.

[gammabruce]

Right. Exactly.

[Trying so hard not to smile at that last addition.]

You really can't help yourself sometimes, can you?

[gammabruce]

A Loki that I don't know? That's... different. Think I've run into another like you once or twice.

[not_insane]

The way it was explained to me is that my roles are reversed with Thor from what is the norm.

[starknaked]

Why would I even try?

[He's wonderful! Really. Just ask him!]

It's like cooking naked. You don't cook things like bacon because... No! Trust me on this.

[stretchy_pants]

My mun saw this earlier and has been staring at it for much longer than is healthy.

...It's bad enough that she and Tony's mun are always.. discussing this sort of thing.

[gammabruce]

Mine as well, unfortunately. Protests only encouraged her to stare longer.

Fortunately, I currently lack a Tony to... plot with. For tonight, I'm thankful.

[gammabruce]

So you're the good brother and he's the bad. I could imagine that.

[gammabruce]

What does that have to do with... well, anything?

[Okay. You win. Now he's laughing.]

The burns aren't that bad, actually. Just have to learn to keep your distance.

[not_insane]

It is not as simple as that!

[He was also as defensive of his brother as Thor.]

Something changed him, the Thor you know is the one I know.

[starknaked]

[The best answer is always a distraction.]

That is maybe more than I needed to know about your cooking endeavors, Bruce.

[gammabruce]

...What?

[Derpy scientist is derpy.]

No, no, I meant I've cooked shirtless before, not entirely... without anything on. My clothes were drying at the time.

[gammabruce]

[Whoah pissed off demi-god. Not good.]

Okay, Loki, okay. I wasn't trying to insult him. I only meant I could visualize the reality you're in. You two seemed... similar.

[omar]

[Whoa, Omar is feeling the fuck out of that gifset.]

Decent bling, man.

[gammabruce]

[So. Much. Awkward.]

Erm. Thanks, but it's not mine. I don't actually own any kind of necklaces.

[omar]

[He's just gonna right-click-save, don't mind him.]

Then I take it the, uh, situation there ain't so true-to-life, neither?

[not_insane]

I see.

[He grimaced.]

I'm sorry Bruce. It is a rather fragile subject as you might imagine. Just keep in mind you are my friend in my universe and I would never put you in a position where you would need the "other guy" to survive over my trivial anger.

[starknaked]

Right. Of course. Limited wardrobe and all that. You know, we really need to get Reed Richards to make you clothingneed to find a way to keep you in clothes even... after.

[gammabruce]

[Except he will mind. Lots.]

Not at all. Tony and I are just friends. Lab partners. That... "situation" never happened.

[omar]

[Sorry 'bout it, bro.

...He's still gonna save it, though.]

Lab partner, huh.
