Masterlist

Avengers Masterlist

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Where’s everyone?” Bucky asked as he entered the main living area of the Avengers compound. There were a decent amount of people missing.

“Don’t know Buck.” Steve answered with a shrug of his shoulders.

“Pepper said something about the press.” Same spoke from his spot at the breakfast bar, eating a sandwich.

“The press has been after Nat and Y/n for months but last night they called an emergency meeting for the two.” Bruce explained to the confused group. Nat had to leave in the middle of the night to talk so he seemed to be the only one who knew so far.

Before anyone could say anything else Pepper Pots emerged from the elevator.

“Pep?” Steve said as a question, noticing Pepper took notice of the conversation. Hoping she could give them more.

Pepper sighed before comfiring. “He’s right. It was a private meeting between Tony, Nat, Y/n and myself.”

“What happened?” Bucky asked concerned about his new family and the girl he has a crush on.

“The press went public with something about Y/n’s past that were very private and very cruel. I don’t think she slept at all last night.” Pepper told them, further explaining the situation.

“Fucking bastards.” Sam scoffed in digust at the lengths the noisy pricks would go to.

“Langue.” Steve mumbled out not wanting anyone but Sam to hear him and get teased again. He still hasn’t lived down the last time.

“Tony says their back.” Pepper stated looking up from her phone at their friends as they entered the room, exiting the elevator. “How’s it go?”

“The press just gets worse with time.” Natasha stated shaking her head angrily.

Tony sighed, walking over to the fridge and grabbing a drink before standing next to Pepper. “We cleared the air and everything is fine now publicly, but some things said during the press conference to Y/n/n. They were-”

“Uncalled for. Rude. Disrespectful. I could go on.” Nat interrupted, fuming with anger.

“You okay?” Sam asked, looking concerned towards his Y/h/c-ed friend.

“There was this one asshole who wanted me to apologize…” Y/n shook her head shrugging her shoulders up. Letting out a deep breath, before looking at everyone and continuing. “I will not apologize for surviving. I lived. I always live. And I did my fucking best to keep eveyron eelse alive to.”

Y/n hated how just hearing what the reporter had said made her feel. Hearing her past, about the people she couldn’t save. She was trying not to let it show but she didn’t know how much longer she could hold it together.

“You shouldn’t and you don’t.” Pepper stated firmly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have him fired in a matter of minutes.” Tony stated with a proud dark smirk. He was protective of Y/n, very protective. That asshole was not keeping his job.

“Thanks Tony.” Y/n smiled at the billionaire, finding it a little funny but also appreciating it. “I’m gonna go take a nap, I’m too exhausted from everything.”

She sent a wave and a small smile before heading down the hall to her room. Leaving everyone to their own devices. But Bucky watched her go and kept his eyes on the hallway for a while after. He knew she wasn't as fine as she was showing. Because he knows her.

So after a while of giving her space Bucky headed towards her room, not wanting her to be alone for to long knowing how she was probably feeling. So he waited about 15 minutes before knocking on her bedroom door.

“Hey, doll.” Bucky spoke once she opened the door.

“Bucky.” Y/n smiled at him but it didn’t reach her eyes.

“I just wanted to say.” he shifted on his feet nervously. Bucky had had a crush on her for awhile, and everyone was pretty sure that Y/n felt the same way. But right now he was concerned about how she was feeling emotionally. Bucky knew what she needed to hear right now. “I think your perfect. Even with all your flaws, you’re nothing but perfect.”

Y/n’s smile grew, not much but enough for Bucky to know she appreciated his statement. “Thank you Bucky.” She responded blushing.

“Your welcome, Doll.” Bucky replied with a soft smile and tinted cheeks from blushing also.

“You want to come in and watch some movies? I really need a nap but I don’t want to be alone right now. I could put on a movie.” Y/n offered softly, having a crush on him and not knowing exactly if he felt the same she was nervous he’d reject her offer.

“Sure. Of course Y/n/n.” Bucky smiled softly. Once Y/n opened the door wider, letting Bucky enter. Once he took off his shoes the two Avengers with horrible pasts got cozy in her bed. Y/n turned on a movie, it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep with the comfort of Bucky’s presence.

Well I didn't write my thoughts on the last ep cause I was playing FF16 but I'll explain why I didn't like the ending (despite loving a lot of the episode) under the cut

There's a lot of ways you can end a political sci-fi story (which Mobile Suit Gundam tends to be) and some of the worst ways it can end is a bleak "and nothing got better" and that often is the resolution for a lot of them, but it's not that bad when it's clear that the isolated conflict would just be covered up and whatever amidst the conclusion of that story. The very grounded and "realistic" stories in UC might fall into this kind of area.

I am of the opinion that more often than not it's bad practice to criticise what isn't there, that is unless you have a legitimate reason to feel that way. In this case, I feel that they brought up the earth subplots and kind of just used to thrust the story forward without actually having anything meaningful to say about Earthian emancipation or even validate that the companies in the story made that place a fucking hell hole in any meaningful fashion. You hear about a lot of the going-ons from people from Earth for sure, but you barely have it in your periphery for the majority of the season except for about 3-ish episodes.

My greatest fear as I've expressed to many friends and other people I talk to about G-Witch is that they would hand-wave all the problems away with a time skip and sadly we got literally this exact thing.

The spectacle and wonder of the family conflict tying up nicely & the canon lesbian relationship is pretty heavily overshadowed for me by the complete dismissal of the very subplot threads they opened in order to describe just how bonkers the Benerit group is/was.

OF course, I am labouring under the assumption that there is no season 3, and IBO didn't even announce theirs till like 4 months after Season 1 ended on a massive cliffhanger but this story did not end on one.

There's no seething and spiteful earth orphan in the epilogue, or any inclination that the story will in-fact continue and that leaves me feeling all the way wrong about how they handled this especially since I have to wait half a year potentially to find out if they plan to make more (which I imagine they will if not specifically to sell more Gunpla).

Of course, you might say that "oh this is a more personal Gundam story" and I don't even really feel like that's a good explanation of why the ending almost feels antithetical to the story itself like, yeah Benerit got dissolved and all was well and eveyrone became friends which is acceptable in your average shounen story but this pretty much felt like an ass-pull in some ways especially when you take in that they neglected to do anything with Earth except => guel gets kidnapped and goes to earth and briefly helps orphans and guerillas => miorine accidentally helps stage a false flag attack and pretty much nothing else?

Like that kind of irks me in the same way that playing FF14 Stormblood and there being almost nothing about Ala Mhigo irks me.

Of course, I am happy that SuleMio is a happy family not just with Prospera, but all of her daughers including Eri.

It's just... way too neat? I seldom call something an ass-pull but hand-waving that Earth is still in strife and barely any consequences were faced by the broader corporations outside of the dissolution of Benerit would be a compelling point if, like Hathaway, it had something to stand on top of (which is that in UC, fucking nothing ever changes, Unicorn happens and Hathaway's Mafty Uprising still happens in spite of Banagher's wager on possibility lmao)

I dunno, I feel happy that they're happy but really upset that they really just dumpstered everything to do with Earth and it just swept so many of the real questions that the very story we watched each week implied it would even try to answer.

I'm really hard to annoy, I love meathead shounen, I love serious and nuanced political writing in anime (e.g. MSG UC & Eighty-Six) but it's not the space magic that annoys me, I'd be a hypocrite to love Gundam Unicorn and hate it here - it's how they just time-skipped everything to a neat and tidy conclusion.

Of course, maybe a S3 announcement (which I have firmly held is probably coming) would change my mind, but yeah this was a great episode but a terrible finale.

Honestly, I even felt irked by the fact that Suletta accepts her mothers choice so plainly and I get it - the parental bonds thing is somehting I don't take for granted, anyone who has had complicated feelings about their own parents understands how a person can come to be like "you've hurt me and the people around me, and yet I still care for you" - I get it! But I really do not like how inconsistent it feels to be cleaning up the bodies of her classmates one episode and kinda shrugging everything she did off in a time-skip but this critique specifically is down to the jarring pacing that others had been complaining to this point - I suppose I am guilty of getting caught up in the spectacle but I almost snapped my neck at how hard this ending veered off

Of course, the natural commentary for this will be "selling off Benerit's assets and aiding Earth is a functional and practical way to help Earth" except that it almost feels like it comes out of nowhere due to the lightspeed pacing of this finale.

They really fumbled writing Earth in this story - yeah, there are nice subtleties in the ending but it still feels way too rushed and jarring for me to like actually find it enjoyable. Bodies don't make a good gundam ending (see: Gundam Unicorn), and space magic doesn't make it bad either (also Gundam UC lol), they just brushed off way too much.

The "incremental change" argument holds decent weight if there was any explicit inclination to continue the story from the time-skip (which I would like to see, preferrably with an Earthian protagonist at the centre of their emancipation struggles).

It was indeed nice to see the Earth girls integrated into Miorine's company, and Sabina does comment that they're not sure if it will amount to what they want - and Mio, far more mature than her younger self, steps towards that future bravely and that's cool.

I like the characterisation of the ending - but yeah, how they kinda just blitz the Earth stuff does not sit right with me.

I did like seeing all the kids being friends & being together after all they've been through, and that is a nice way to tie-up the story, but the way they kinda just use that to justify why they barely explain the rest is wild.

Course, I know I'm probably in the minority here - but pacing doomposters were right - this was a pretty abysmal ending because of how little time they had to work with.

I loved every single episode of this season, except the ending. Loved the first half of the episode, but the latter half is just way too neat and that's not because it needs bodies or something - it really does just feel like "and then it got marginally better".

I know the ending itself explicitly acknowledges that nothing may change, but as I said previously, that only works if you have something to lean on which this story does not since it's unclear if it's even going to get another season.

Systemic change, in reality, is quite incrimental and often feels infinitismally small - and that notion might be more compelling in this bittersweet epilogue if the story had taken more pains to actually explore the earthian-spacian conflict.

Yes, they discuss conflict-sharing/war-partitioning on the different segments of Earth, but they do nothing with it at all other than laud it around as a talking point without making the viewer ever face it except when Prospera attacks Earth. I feel like so much of the Earth-side of the story is left in the abstract, and do not argue to me that it's in the subtleties of Earth house and the things that they say.

I felt like the fella in Plato's cave hearing about something and the only time I actually felt the human side of that story from the people that live on Earth was when Guel was a prisoner of war for an episode and when Miorine has to face the disappointed people who realise they're being attacked.

I had faith the ending would not go "and then it got better", and I know many people will hate that I choose to take that interpretation, but that is pretty much the summation of my feelings about how rapidly they pushed this aside. I love this series, I ahve been gassing this series every single week since like episode 3 - but this ending was unsatisfying - it's not enough to make me hate the series but yeah, I wish we had something more substantive to look toward with future stories or more time spent stressing the "other side" of this conflict.

Yeah, the Benerit group at large is on trial on TV, and there's signs that the world will change & we see future generations of kids on Earth, but I don't think it hit quite right for me. It's not a lack of grit, it's just like, you're enjoying the payoff without the adequate build-up and I feel like I'm possibly not alone in thinking this.

Earth was just a bargaining chip and an elusive idea in this season, and I really do not like that so much was left in the abstract. You can "subtext" anything into existence, but no amount of referential dialogue is going to make up for the lack of a grounded and meaningful representation of their struggle since Sophie and Norea got axed (I did not mind this at the time), and they portrayed every other Earth character outside of Gund-arm as a villain.

I really feel like this aspect of how the story was structured was ultimately quite disappointing and thus, I am annoyed at the resulting payoff.

The romance side of things was cute, and I thoroughly enjoy how thing were tied up with them - especially that Suletta loved her family despite everything (this does not boggle my mind).

But yeah my gripes with the lack of idk time to talk about Earth actually boggles my mind beyond belief.

It's incredibly difficult to feel the actual weight of "yeah Benerit was dissolved and assets redistributed lol" while being presented with next to zero context for what that means and what it could mean. Way too much is left to the imagination and while that's fine in certain kinds of stories, in one wherey ou barely even grapple with the Earth context that you've described to this point it's kind of bonkers.

Yes, I get a lot of people will feel catharsis with this ending because what they're watching for and what I am watching for may be different - that's perfectly okay, but I'm not gonna act like ti didn't disappoint me that we got the most explicit form of a hand-wave (a time skip) to end out an otherwise fantastically written series.

I do not like that one bit and I do not apologise for believing that either.

Here's another scorching take: the next season should focus on Earth, not how the Samayas heal as a family - there might be room for both, but with how neglected Earth felt maybe it's time for a POV change in this world bc they really did FA with that.

In conclusion, I sitll like the show, but this ending was really unfulfilling. I know that winning a battle is not winning the war, but the story took pretty much no pains to eloquently depict the struggles of Earth properly this season despite me thinking that the vast majority of episodes were absolutely fantastic in spite of that.

I think Suletta, Mio and Guel were quite well-written and most of the supporting cast too, but this flaw in the narrative structure is insanely glaring for me and call that pretentious if you want but I genuinely believe what I said here

Edit: I guess, the ending just doesn't say anything super daring that that's pretty disappointing.

Edit 2: I completely forgot to go on a rant but, that the use of a WMD (space laser) was not even a point of intrigue for a future conflict is also wild.

projecting feeling of not being able to finish things (projects, art thing) quick enough being vry stressful n sad onto cad autism hc to feel better ;_ ; i think he really likes to take his time with all his small routine steps (make tea, put socks on, brush hair certain way) and its ok because usually he can just do that and while eveyrone else is messing around he just does his routine and it evens out to be ok and all done in the amount of time . but then if, sometimes on some days he gets rushed and then the whole day is off.. lots of subtle stress stimming (rubbing thumb on his knuckles), weird anxious feeling in his chest, maybe dissociating on and off. too tired as well, from being out on the road and not home T_T i just think cad rly likes routine but in a ritualistic way, not like numbers.. he makes the tea the same way every single time and its so calming to him . also audhd moment i think if his routine gets thrown off then he loses things and forgets things and its just a mess, routine holds it all together. otherwise he's stressed and he doesn't even know if he washed his hair

#kiddo say #bed time . so tired. but someone went in th bathroom for a bath .. T_T ack #but here is a ramble for now. .. . . ...#patted my cat sheila n now shes snoring .. .

Ok ok im probably not ever gonna end up doing anything with the marhcing band au but amber would play mellophone (or trumpet if the badn didnt have enough) as much as i woudl want her to play the same instrument as me for self indulgemnt reaons i can not imagine her playing somehting thats not brass. Also i cant imagine syau being band at all but like,,,,, what if we put her on bass 5 guys… tiny guy sayu walking around with ginormuous bass drum…. It would be so funny but also i really dont think she could carry that but whatever i dont care let me be insane for a second. She could also be in pit playing, like, idk the rack or something… hmmmmm

My school is a pretty small school so we dont have that many different instruments also im a wind player so my knowledge of the pit and percusison in general is pretty limited but anwyas

Ok since i really dont pay that much atteniton to inazuma characters that much were gonna pull from my syau boat fic and put sayu in mond territory so i dont have to figure out what all the inazuma peoples insturments are

Definitely feel free to correct me on what these guys would do if you actually read this because i am an expert of 0 characters

Kaeya and eula would defintely be guard, ii could also imagine mika being guard cause reconaissance company but honestly i didnt pay that much attention to him either so idk. Jean drum major obviously but in concert or if we dont make her drum major she would be flute :) venti flute or maybe in the pit playing mallets or someitng lisa., pit. Idk what but i dont think she would be marhcing, uhhhhhhh noelle. Low brass something. Tuba or baritone. Or maybe in battery as bass drum. Sucrose, upper woodwinds, either flute or clarinet, probably clarinet maybe. Albedo. Looks like a pit person. Mallets. I guess. Razor low brass probably, or marching cymbals?? Idk we dont have those at my school so idk, i can defintely see it though. Bennett is trumpet probably fischl is guard, rosaria would be guard too? Barbara would be pit piano or upper woodwinds….. i cnat think of anyone else besides klee and diona but idk if were gonna count them, if we do klee in trumpet maybe and diona in pit on mallets. That being said if this really is eveyrone in mondstadt we’re definitely gonna need more poeple which would be fine but also i dont pay attention to most or hte character so i wouldnt know what they would play……

#paper is talking #paper is going insane right now guys…..#Anwyas notice how i didnt mention saxophone at all in that 2384029840 words i jsut typed.#I WOUODL LOVE TO HAVE A BIG ALTO SAX SECTION BUT NONE OF THEM FIT (in my opinion)#Sighh if im still thinik about this all make a list with all the characters and probably change it a bunch of times after but whatever #I need ot go eat now so i cnat keep tlaking about this but ill probaly fix these later

Honestly, Paul Saint Peter as Mine would workswell with Roger Craig Smith’s Daigo

as much as im still on the fence about RCS as daigo i cant deny they would sound great together in a scene

#snap chats #idk how but they would sound good in a scene #ALSO YEAH I AM STILL FICKLE ON RCS #like eveyrone else ive coem to like- like i love mercer as majima and kurylo's a great recurrence too #if it aint broke dont fix it yk lmao #but again with daigo- this extends to mine to- theres just certain qualities to their voices i really like that get lost #like with mine his voice is nasally and with daigo he speaks very quietly and very hushed #of course he can sond stern when needed but for the most part his voice just isn't as heavy as RCS #though like. the more i listen to it the more i get used to it and its not /as/ jarring anymore #tho a direct comparison will always give me whiplash #idk maybe its not that bad honestly- not 'bad' but its an appropriate dub ig is what i mean #IDK IM BAD AT FANCASTING ANYWAY SO

alright, closing up 999 for tonight! thoughts:

junpei's silly.. i like him =)

June has so many death flags she might as well be wearing a tee shirt that says 'im fucked!' on it. maybe it'll subvert expectations tho? but childhood friend with clear romance flags in the murder game its.. its not a great spot to be in if u wanna not die

lotus... hot....

santa is funny i like him. i have the vague sense ive seen him before is he the sexy man of the game?

uuuh clover =) the clover =D. shesyeah =) obviously she and snake have some connection but idk what yet. the sillays.

snake is also epic and swag big fan

no paticular thoughts on seven or ace. they're there =)

love lovelovelot he atmposhere of this game, it gets it all RIGHT. it's pretty, but htere's a layer of Grit to everything. it feels like a 3d space im trapped in. the art works so well with it here.

the sprites too, the lip sync was weird at first but these odd animation clip sprites?? they're honestly quite endearing acually. the way everyone is drawn is really appealing. junpei looks a little akward next to everyone else sometimes but beyon that.

umm the modes thing is. weird but i have learned this is bcs of porting issues and it wsa cooler on the ds. i wish i could play it on the ds but i think thatd be like. 200 dollar or somethin so steam port it is. im just sticking to novel =)

speaking of, the narration in the novel mode is really good, its very compelling.

this does feel very brain hooks-y i like it rather a lot so far! not too far so like. lets see whether the HOOK of this lands (why we in tha nonary game. what be that anyway_ etc). considerin i keep seeing ppl be like 'this game si the best psychological game ever' like. okiedokie then

i did not know about digtial roots before this game and i have sicne learned they are used in things beyond this game.

end of the road for now, but yeah! where i've stopped, snake has explanted everything on the braille card (allegedly.) and after santa and seven unsucessfully tried to get rid of their bombs, eveyrone explained that theyd since zero when they got kidnapped, with that mask. except seven who seems to just be going 'whoa yeah we ALL got chloroformed how crazy".

so yeah, lookin forward to the next bit! its not like. making me go insane yet but its good!! rlly scratches the mystery room trapped itch i'd had. im sure this game will not become something i obsess over =).

#9 persons 9 hours 9 doors #void content #zero escape #zero escape 999 #999 spoilers #ppppprobalbly
