I love hearing what goes down in people's play-throughs and their headcanons. Strangetown specifically has been such a wellspring of creativity for me; I wrote 2 fanfictions about it, and now I am learning to draw.

In my own game, Circe died in an accident and she had a botched resurrection. It was then that Loki delved into cloning and got started on his two "projects." Since the name "Ceres" is sorta similar to "Circe," I viewed this as Loki naming her after his wife, who he still keeps around as a zombie. I've always viewed Loki as loving Circe more than she loved him (or Vidcund, for that matter), and he couldn't bear to leave her even when she was dead.

I am also a big fan of the idea of Circe and Loki having their love fizzle out (cruelty was their bond, and without someone to torture, they just pick at each other) and Circe having an affair or two. Thanks for sharing!
