"To make you think of your own kind as dangerous savages? That's beyond a poor choice and what it is, is downright cruel," Megatron protests. "I told you you should speak to Rav about this. Being a Frost Giant seems not entirely unlike being a Predacon."
Megatron takes Loki's hand in his other hand, so he can slide his arm around Loki's shoulders. "Listen, I didn't mean to diminish your brother in any way by comparing him to Shockwave. There are things for which kindness is just an inadequate word--but I don't know exactly what Thor has done for you, and even if I did I might not understand what it meant. And I have no idea what it is like to have a father. I only know that no-one should ever be made to think of themselves as less than a person because of the way in which they were made, or the shape they take."
He drops a kiss on the crown of Loki's head. "And yes, your true form is to me the most beautiful, because it is yours. If you wanted to change it, I would also view your new form as beautiful, because it would be the one that you chose for yourself, and I believe that people should have the right to choose the forms they take. But I mislike the idea of you twisting yourself around to meet anyone else's standard of beauty, even my own."
Norns, but it feels good to have someone so firmly on his side in this matter. Loki has been over all these thoughts before, has questioned Frigga's ghost and come to terms with Odin's, and he is relatively convinced that Asgard had a strong monarchy with a toxic family structure, and that's all there is to it. Even if his was the standout dysfunction, it wasn't the first one to occur. He leans into Megatron abruptly, almost crashing clumsily into him, and sighs with relief.
"Mmn. I don't know anything about Shockwave, and so I did not imagine Thor was in any way diminished by the comparison. I just want you to know that my brother is nothing like our father."
He squeezes him lightly. "You will see more of the Jotun form over the winter. I prefer it when the weather is cold, and the power it has against the bitter elements."
