Ok but wait the reason Lokis are so interested in theatre & Shakespeare & literature etc (fiction in general) is because their prime variant is the God of Stories 😭

Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present. Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. My words echo Thus, in your mind.
T.S. Eliot, Quartet No. 1: Burnt Norton, from Four Quartets

I have heard mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.

"Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know What life is, you who hold it in your hands"; "You let it flow from you, you let it flow, And youth is cruel, and has no remorse And smiles at situations which it cannot see." I smile, of course, And go on drinking tea.
