did you say biromantic loki? now im curious if there are any headcanons you've got about that 😅
Sure! Not as much as ace headcanons, but let's see what we've got.
Figuring out this stuff was hard. He's varioriented, and that can be hard to figure out (trust me...I'm still trying to). I hc him as greybiromantic asexual. So it's confusing because he likes mutliple genders but he is sex averse but also it's rare for him to have feelings for anyone and just ack it's a struggle.
I hc Asgard just generally being terrible in regards to LGBTQ+ stuff. So they oversexualize gay men so Loki doesn't think he could possibly be attracted to men because Loki doesn't want sex.
Loki visited Earth in the '70's or something like that and heard about bisexuality then and that was what started the whole questioning thing because before anytime he questioned it he quickly suppressed it because of internalized homophobia. But lots of people seem to be okay about it on Earth, and maybe the humans are right about this. But it takes decades for Loki to start referring to himself as bi.
He goes through a stretch of time referring to himself as something different every time once he learns more about labels. Bisexual. Pansexual. Biromantic greysexual. Aromantic bisexual. Abrosexual. Omnisexual. Heterosexual. Biromantic heterosexual. Demiromantic bisexual. Aromantic asexual. Bi oriented aromantic asexual. Demibisexual. Greybiromantic demisexual. Greydemipansexual. Bi-aroaceflux. Like it changes once a week, maybe twice. Like he is pretty certain he's queer (other than days when he has doubts) but he has no idea how. Finally, he settles on greybiromantic asexual, but, man, does it take him a while.
I'm obligated to say that he sits oddly, and have canon to back me up.
He struggled with the difference between aesthetic and sexual attraction for a while, and used to be like, dang, all these people are so sexy. Really he just has a lot of aesthetic attraction to go around.
Like, he wants romance, but also doesn't? He wants it, but isn't interested. I don't know how to explain it, I'm just projecting myself here.
When he does LGBTQ+ on Earth, he kind of feels left out a lot of the time in the bi community because he isn't bisexual. Like, obviously bisexuals should celebrate their bisexuality, but it's hard to relate sometimes. He feels more comfortable in the ace community because he feels like he fits in more there. Same with the aromantic community.
Sometimes he makes jokes about liking everyone because of his biromanticism but not liking everyone because of his greyromanticism and asexuality.
A lot of the Avengers are bi (in my headcanons) so they do stuff together. Like, it's Loki, Steve, Bucky, Wanda, and Peter, plus several others are mspec. And a lot of them are aspec. They all just get along and support each other. Similar deal in my mental AU where Loki is in AoS. Headcanon wise, there's Daisy, Fitz, Simmons, Hunter, and Trip that are bi.
So the same time this happened, Thor was also confused because with his misconception of what asexuality is, how could Loki also be bi because Asgard sexualizes gay men so much. Just, in general with all of Loki's queerness, Thor has to relearn much because Asgard is so wrong. But he is willing to do it because he loves his brother and wants to support him! He really is a good ally, he has the right spirit, he's just way confused on basically everything.
Loki starts to sneak purple things into his life because of the ace and bi flags.
Okay, so I like Coulson to be the one that practically adopts Loki and helps him with a lot of things, including this. He tells him about all these things and how he doesn't know what to think and on Asgard this is looked down upon. Loki breaks down in tears when Coulson tells him it's okay, there's nothing wrong with what he's feeling, queerness is okay, and that Coulson will be right there to support him.
