"Why does it matter what she wears?" Loki asked dismissively
Thor smiled knowingly at his younger brother who was sipping at his wine pretending not to hide his face in his beverage.
"Oh, it does not. Not to me at least. The last time she wore green I thought your eyes were going to pop out of your head." Thor teased
Thor's words continued to bounce around in Loki's head all day and into the night. He hadn't seen much of Astri today since she was sparring with Sif and then practicing some new magic technique with his mother. They hadn't had lessons together in years after she and Loki got in a fight which ended in Frigga's favorite vase breaking and Loki's ego feeling rather bruised when Astri refused to talk to him for a week. He hadn't meant to antagonize her but his jealousy got the better of him and after she had been able to successfully multiply herself faster than him he had let out a string of insults which ended after he brought up her mother and father. Astri had shot him across his mother's chambers so fast that he barely had time to blink.
"Say another word, Loki and I'll toss you from the balcony next." Astri's voice was dripping in malice as her hands were still glowing their soft blue hue her magic put out.
"I'd like to see you try," Loki had quickly quipped back righting himself while Frigga demanded they cease their actions at once
Astri's hands had glowed once more and this time he went to the other side of the room and into his mother's favorite vase, a gift from his father when they married.
Loki tossed and turned now in his bed, wishing he had been at whatever lesson his mother had been teaching today. No, it wasn't because he wanted to be better at whatever was being taught. He liked seeing Astri's face light up whenever she got something right. He had seen it often when they were children when learning about the history of Asgard in their shared classes.
A quiet knock sounded, interrupting his nightly brooding. Loki removed himself from the pile of blankets and pillows he slept with nightly and pulled the door open to reveal Astri and a tall stack of books.
"I missed seeing you today so I figured I'd come to you." She explained entering his room without even asking and tossing the books onto his already overflowing desk.
"It's very late, Astri." Loki sighed trying to pretend that he was tired and not at all happy to see her.
"So? We used to sneak into Thor's room and then hang him from the ceiling by his toes around this time when we were younger." She pointed out before selecting a book and jumping onto his bed
"Yes, we did. But..." Loki trailed off eyeing her legs that were exposed by her night dress moving up as she got comfortable among his many pillows
"Why do you have so many pillows? It's kind of impractical." She said utterly missing his wandering eyes
Loki felt a lump rise in his throat as she tossed a pillow towards him to get his attention as if he wasn't always watching whenever she entered the room.
"Are you gonna put on a shirt and come over here or keep standing there?" She asked
Right. Clothes. He fumbled for the shirt he had discarded on the floor before climbing into bed hours earlier. He tried to calm his nerves before sliding under the covers next to her. One of his many pillows was squished behind her acting as back support while she began to explain the plot of whatever book she had chosen for their evening. Loki watched as her long hair moved while she gestured to the hand-drawn pictures of a large mountain on the first page. Her hair had always been mesmerizing for him. Even as a child, he had been interested in it, pulling at it for fun and just to get her attention. The result had been Astri cutting her hair up so it was chin length so she could avoid Loki's mean hands. Now, it was long again, streaming over her shoulders and down past her chest. God don't look at her chest!
"Are you even listening to me?" She asked suddenly, reaching out to flick his forehead.
"Of course." He lied, moving her hand away from him.
"Then what just happened in this book?" She asked
Loki smiled before gently taking the book from her hands and setting it aside.
"Does it matter? Why don't you show me what my mother taught you today?" He asked, leaning towards her
"Are you going to get angry if you can't do it yourself?" She asked
"No, of course not. That time I wasn't angry at you...I was upset with myself." He admitted
"I know..." She softly said reaching for his hand with her smaller ones
"So what did you learn today?" He asked letting her play with his fingers
"Well I didn't succeed but Frigga was trying to teach me how to take over others' bodies." She responded a little sadly
"Ah, enchantment. I've read about it." He nodded
"Can you do it?" She asked
"No. Not yet." He said, "I've tried on Thor in the past."
Astri nodded and looked back down at his hand in hers.
"What are you wearing at tomorrow's festival?" He asked suddenly
"Wouldn't you like to know," Astri smirked
"I would actually," Loki replied
"Why? Scared we'll show up in matching dresses?" She laughed
"Perhaps." Loki softly said
"Guess you'll just have to wait and find out." Astri smiled
Loki woke the next morning to a stiff left arm and a slightly sore neck. The cause of the issues? Astri had fallen asleep next to him last night. She had convinced him to read to her and then proceeded to fall asleep almost immediately despite insisting she was not tired. He tried to slowly move her head off his arm and to the pillow next to her but instead was met with an ugly groan as she awoke.
"What're you doing I thought it was your turn to read." She groggily said
"Yes, it was my turn but you fell asleep mere moments after I began." He said standing up from the bed
"Impossible, I wasn't even tired." She yawned before glancing out the glass doors that led to the balcony, "Damn it."
"It's alright, no one's perfect." He assured, "Except perhaps me."
A large pillow came flying in his general direction before smacking the wall to his right.
"Awful throw." Loki commended
This time, another one came flying and it hit him in the stomach with a surprisingly strong force.
"I win." Astri declared before slumping back into the bed and pulling the covers around her.
"You can't go back to bed, Astri," Loki said
"Sure I can. Watch me." She responded, her voice muffled by the pillow under her
"Today marks the beginning of the festivities for the Winter Solstice." Loki reminded
Another loud groan came from the cocoon of blankets that was his friend before she unceremoniously removed herself from the bed.
"I'll see you later I guess." She said walking towards the door "I hope your dress is as nice as mine."
"It'll be far better," Loki said seriously
Astri just shook her head and laughed as Loki shut the door behind her.
⋆⭒˚。⋆
"It appears I was wrong, brother," Thor said amid sips of his drink
Of course, he had been wrong, Thor was always wrong. Astri wasn't in green but rather a light blue and silver one, and somehow this one was even more breathtaking than her green one. Loki watched her greet Sif and the other noble women who stood around in small groups while they chattered about unknown topics. Loki felt his legs moving without even a thought towards her as they finally made eye contact.
"Loki, where is your matching dress?" Astri teased
"I must have left it behind in my room." He breathed "You look...good." Damn. Why did he stop at just good?
"Thank you. Frigga has a good eye. Astri smiled
Loki glanced around the room, searching for his mother.
"Looking for me?" Her voice suddenly said from behind him
"Mother." He greeted
"Astri, come we want to show you something." A noble lady had looped her arm with Astri's and pulled her away from Loki.
"Do you like her dress? I helped pick it." Frigga smiled
"Of course I like it," Loki admitted
"Good. Then you should have no problem dancing with her." Frigga said before gently pushing her son towards where her ward had walked "Don't forget to complement her hair!"
Normally, the heat at festivals never affected Loki. But, as he approached Astri again he swore he felt himself break out in a sweat. The instruments of the entertainers his father had summoned to the palace seemed twenty times louder as he held his hand out to Astri.
"Lady Astri." He finally found his voice, " May I have the honor of a dance?"
Thor's eyes scanned the room, he was looking for his brother who had left his side the moment their childhood friend had entered the room. What surprised him though was that Loki wasn't just speaking to Astri as he normally did but instead leading her to the dance floor among other couples. He couldn't help but smile as he watched his younger brother smoothly lead the clumsy Astri in a traditional dance they had learned when they were younger.
Astri felt as if a thousand eyes were on her as Loki led the dance. As they spun, she could see Frigga's smiling face among so many other noble Asgardians.
"You're rather stiff." Loki pointed out
"It feels like everyone is watching us." She said, her voice barely above a whisper
"That is because they are." Loki smiled down at her, "They're all watching you."
Astri felt her face redden as Loki's drew closer to hers. She tried to focus on anything but his words and his bright blue eyes that stared into hers.
"You know, I love the way you look in green." Loki said "But this..."
She felt his hand gently squeeze at her waist.
"You're stunning in blue, Astri."
Astri swore it was out of embarrassment that she hid her face in his shoulder while his frame lightly shook from laughter. When she unburied her face, he was still looking at her with that intense gaze of his.
"Don't let it go to your head." He joked
Instead of quipping back she just nodded and pressed herself closer to him, wishing for the moment to never end.
I drabbled in Loki's POV a little more for this part. Also, the Attack on Titan finale still has me on the floor. Like, I knew what would happen in the end but seeing it all animated in front of me is a whole different thing. I listened to Lover by Taylor Swift while writing the dancing scene so if you want to set the tone, there you go. Also, starting in the next chapter I will be beginning to follow the plot of the first Thor movie. This means that the plot will be more cohesive and that updates might take longer since I won't just be writing from my imagination but instead sticking to what the MCU says is canon. Hope you are enjoying the story so far!

Hey Hun :) I saw that your requests are open and I'd like to request a Chris Evans one shot ^^ Maybe she's coming home from her walk with Dodger and sees Chris sitting on the couch reading a book with some glasses on. And you can't help but admire him and realize how much you love him and just walk towards him, straddle him, kiss him and tell him that. You can make it smutty if you want to ;) Thank you! ♥️
I was very happy to write this. I hope you like it and that this is what you had in mind.
Also my requests are still open.
Lenses and love
Her walk had been peaceful. Dodger had trotted happily beside her as they walked to the nearest park. Y/n and Dodger played with a ball for about an hour. When the duo finally got tired, they sat by a pond in the middle of the park. The woman and pooch calmly watched geese swim until it was time the head back home. On the way back, an older couple was smiling loving at each other as they walked arm in arm. Y/n briefly wondered what it was like to share so much love that it would last well into old age. She imagined the couple as her and Chris. She thought of how he would still hold her wrinkled hand and she would still love to kiss his wrinkled cheek. She imagined the happiness they would share. Some kids stopped her asking timidly if they could pet Dodger. The woman happily agreed. Dodger loved affection he practically lived for it.
The rest of the walk home was relaxed and uneventful. More people grinned at her and Y/n beamed back. The day was good for her. She'd spent the morning with Chris. They'd talked about theories and ideas, the future, anything they could think of really. After lunch, she took Dodger on his daily walk while Chris piddled around the house.
Y/n walked up the steps and into the spacious hallway. After unclipping Dodger's leash, the dog sprinted to his owner. As she slipped off her shoes she listened to Chris speak to the dog.
"Did you a mama have a good walk? Yeah, and you kept her safe right? Good boy! That's my boy."
Y/n smiled as she slowly walked down the hall towards the living room closet. Chris greets her as she opens the closet door to hang up her jacket.
"Hey sweetheart, have a good walk?"
"Oh, yeah. Dodger did great. Let some kids love him and stuff. I saw this old couple on the way to the park and they looked s--" Y/n stopped short she had closed the door and looked at Chris to find an absolutely divine sight. He had glasses rest on the bridge of his nose and he was looking at a book that lay in his lap.
Chris looked up at the abrupt silence, "They looked what sweetheart?" He had a sweet, innocent smile on his face.
Y/n thoughts were anything but innocent. Chris looked like something out of her teenage fantasies. "They looked so happy. The old man had his arm around his wife's shoulders, and she was laughing at something he said." As she spoke, y/n made her way towards the couch.
"That's sweet. I love when I see old couples together. Their love has stood the test of time." Chris beamed at her as she moved nearer.
"Yeah, it has, they're smiles were so big. They looked at each other like the other hung the moon and stars. Also, when did you start wearing glasses?" She was standing in front of him now.
"I was having a bit of trouble focusing my eyes this afternoon, so I dug out an old pair I got from a movie." He closed his book, studying her reaction.
She hummed as she looked over his feature. She recognized them as the ones he wore in winter soldier. Y/n vaguely remembered him mentioning that the lenses were real at the premiere. They were simple frames, but they brought out the contours of his face nicely. They made him look older, 'no', y/n thought, 'more mature'. She thought back to this morning. She was listening everytime he spoke. She just wanted to stare at him and listen to him all day. Then she thought about the old couple she'd seen and how she hoped it would be her and Chris one day. How she hope he would love her as much as she love him. How she wouldnt care that his youth would give way to old age. She didn't care that he would lose his abs and maybe his hair because she was in love with him. Holy shit! I've fallen in fucking love with the man, She thought. The weird thing is she couldn't even pin point when it happened. When the love FOR him turned into being in love WITH him. She hadn't notice that she'd started frowning.
Chris frowned in return, "Do you not like them?" He raised his hand to remove them and y/n abruptly straddled him staring meaningfully at him.
"No I love them and I," she paused, she had never said it to anyone before, " and I love you."
Chris positively beamed, "Oh thank god, I love you too"
She leaned down and kissed him. Sweetly at first then it grew hungrier, rushed. Breaking away for air Chris reached up to remove the glasses but y/n stopped him
"Don't you dare take those off." She grabbed the sides of his face under the glasses.
Chris' eyebrows raised in surprise, then he smirked knowingly, "Sweetheart, do you have a glasses kink?"
"Yes and no." She smiled devilishly at him.
Chris tilted his head confusedly, so she elaborated. "When I was in high school I had this hot teacher fantasy and then I come home today and see you sitting here with these fucking glasses on, looking like you could teach me so many things." She whispered the last part in his ear and nipped it as she pulled back.
He growled lowly, "Oh, I'll teach you a lesson, little girl." He grabbed her hair and pulled her down to him. Their lips crashed together roughly and he bit and licked at her bottom lip. She sighed and he slipped his tongue in her mouth taking control immediately. The hand that wasn't deliciously pulling her hair travelled down her back pulling her closer and harder against Chris. They both sighed as she started rocking against his growing bulge. He pulled back and watched her with hooded eyes. He dragged his thumb across her bottom lip and she took it into her mouth suckling it.
"Okay, little girl. If you want something to suck on so bad you can get on your knees for me." His eyes darkened more.
"Yes, Chris." She went to move but was stopped when Chris' hand landed on her throat applying slight pressure.
"It's Mr.Evans to you little girl." It was short and simple and it made y/n ache.
"Yes, Mr.Evans." She practically moaned.
"Good girl, now get to work." Pushing up the glasses that still rested on his nose.
Convention Guest - Harry Styles x MCUactress!Reader
Summary: You are at an convention with your Endgame cast mates, and there seems to be an unsettlement in the audience. Could it be your famous boyfriend?
In regard to the possible biggest film of all time, the original avengers were brought together in tribute to the beginning of the team’s cinematic franchise. You were lucky enough to be one of them, and so you sat with the six people you had gotten to know pretty well over the years.
When you had taken the part as Angelica Jones, AKA Firestar, you had no idea what it would mean for your career. You had even got your own movie, which opened up many opportunities for your career. It made you feel powerful playing such a badass female character.
You sat between Scarlett and Chris Hemsworth, listening to the questions that arose from the audience, taking a sip of water every now and then. A girl took the microphone, you assumed she was at least half your age, dwelling in her teen years.
“This is for (Y/N), do you think we’ll ever see the famous team up between Firestar and Spiderman that is in the comics?” This felt like a trick question. Hemsworth elbowed you gently, prompting you to answer wisely.
“Perhaps, that is if Spiderman comes back. And if he does I hope so.” A little hope never hurt anyone, especially when you weren’t being like Ruffalo or Holland and giving out free spoilers.
A chatter surpassed through the audience, they all seemed to be looking around, searching for someone in among their own ranks. That however didn't put a stop to the questions.
“Is Black Widow going to get her own film? ” You knew the answer to that, but could not divulge. Nor could Scarlett... yet.
“Wait a minute.” Evans stood, having caught a familiar face in the crowd. He squinted down at the people, finding it again.
“What is it?” Robert sounded bored, although he was interested a little in what had caught the intrigue of the actor.
“We have a breach.” He spoke as Captain America himself would. “Styles is here.”
“Oh, not that guy.” Jeremy laughed, also looking out at the crowd and finding the singer. You went to stand, glaring at your boyfriend from above.
“What are you doing here?” You asked loudly, wanting to run through the mass of fans to reach him, but aware that security would not allow you to do so. It was difficult, you hadn’t seen each other in 4 and 1/2 months.
Before he could turn his smirk into a reply, Hemsworth answered. “He’s here for me obviously, he can’t resist my Australian charm.” The crowd screamed at that, and Harry turned a bright red.
Ruffalo walked to the security guy standing on the corner. “Get him up here.” And he did so. Harry walked onto the stage, causing an explosion of cheers. One of which came from Hemsworth.
Instantly you hugged him, letting your head rest on his chest. It gave you a warm feeling, one that you wanted to hold onto forever. “Don’t hog my girl.” Scarlett scolded him, hugging him when he released you.
“Hands off.” Hemsworth sassed him, only to kiss the singer on the cheek.
“Good to see you too Chris.” He drawled, laughing. Evans frowned, whining at the Thor actor.
“I saw him first.” Harry went over to the other Chris, embracing him.
“Before even my own girlfriend.” Harry glared at you, making you gasp at his betrayal. He really was something else.
“I got him up here.” Ruffalo mumbled, sitting down beside where you had been, acting up. He wanted a hug too.
“Ew.” Jeremy greeted Harry, who only gave him a disgusted look in reply.
“I could say the same, you skipped out on the last film.”
“Come my child.” Robert remained sat, as if he was on a throne. “This guy’s like a son to me.” Harry jokingly bowed to the MCU godfather.
“When do I get my turn again?” Hemsworth asked, frowning at his co stars.
“And this is why he’s not allowed on set.” You told the audience, laughing at the interaction between your on and off screen family.
Well 2019 has delivered some of the most disappointing, ugly and just downright disgraceful films I've ever seen. With 2020 on the rise, I can marvel at the fact that I wasn't the only one of the cats that fought his way through hell to get through this year. On an international scale, I believe a phoenix swept over the film industry and became the terminator of many franchises. Like you all, I survived this dark year in film and it is with great pleasure that I bring you the list of what films to avoid like a hungry lion looking for his next meal. So lets see who is the king of my list of the worst films of 2019. If you would like to see the full review, then click on the titles of each film. The first film on my list just hurts.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: It is with a heavy heart that I had to put this film on my list. Star Wars has always been apart of my life and apart of my soul. At any given time, you can find me playing a Star Wars game, watching any of the movies or even revisiting The Clone Wars series. As much as I wanted to love this film, there is just no denying that this was just the worst film the franchise has ever seen. There are some truly amazing and fun sequences and a great lightsaber fight, but that all doesn't matter when your core story is too busy negating, betraying and apologizing for past films that tried to expand and do something new. All of the new and old philosophies were completely destroyed by conveniences of stuff just happening and lazy writing. As for a trilogy, it was a unplanned, unfocused and perfect example of how not to tell a story ark. It hurts my ever loving Star Wars soul, but this was the worst of the franchise and just a massive disappointment.
Terminator: Dark Fate: I love and hate this franchise. I love that they keep trying to make a good film without the creator James Cameron at the helm, but I hate that they are staying modern day. Now with the risk of erasing everything after T2: Judgement Day, there was a chance to do something right. Well after the opening scene, the door was flung right open for an interesting path and it ultimately failed. This film followed the same mistakes of being heavy on big action sequences and less on heart and character development where it was needed. It was great to see Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger back together again and they had an awesome villain to battle, but I just thought this film was just meh all the way through. This was the last chance for the franchise and they blew it.
Captain Marvel: Well not all of them can be winners. The Marvel Studios brand is one of the most trusted brands in the industry and they have earned it. Almost every entry in their series of films have ranged from classic to alright. This film on the other hand was just a waste of a potentially great origin story for one of their most iconic female characters. I honestly could not connect to the main character enough for me to care. She had no real weakness in the film and no vulnerability. Yeah sure she's only known the life of a soldier, but that doesn't mean she isn't human. The storytelling in the film was all over the place with some stupid decisions and there just wasn't enough substance. A character with a snarky attitude and no regard for anyone else doesn't make for a good hero or a origin you want to study more about.
The Lion King: Double dipping doesn't always work and this was the prime example of that. I love the original animated classic and I think it truly is my favorite animated Disney film. I didn't go into this film judging it against the original because that would just be dumb and unfair. It is undeniable that this film is a technical achievement, but that was about it. The voice acting was a serious mixed bag. The child actors for Simba and Nala, Timon and Pumba and Zazu were truly the highlights, but the adult versions of Simba and Nala were flat and purely directed. Shot for shot remakes are not a good idea and this was that. If you diverted a little more from the source material, then this would've been an interesting remake. Listen up Disney, don't do this again.
Dark Phoenix: Oh man. The X-Men film franchise has truly seen some better days. We can all agree that this film franchise really had no since of continuity or an idea of where it wanted to end. Well with a reboot mid stream, I knew eventually there would be another attempt at the Phoenix Saga. Once again they've missed the X on the spot. The fact that this was the last film in the franchise that started in 2000, is truly a relief. We've had some amazing films, but this was by the far the worst of them all. Goodbye X-Men. I'll always have Logan in my heart.
Cats: I mean. Is there really anything else I can say about this insanely bizarre film? I had seen the Broadway version of the show on DVD a few years back and I could't understand it. The film made it better, but I couldn't get over the horrific nature of the CGI cat fur on the acts. It ranged from weird to “What in heavens name did you do to Jennifer Hudson?”. I know it was Andrew Lloyd Webber’s vision and probably director Tom Hooper's dream picture, but this was just too strange to be adapted to film. Not even the star power behind the film could save it. If an example of why certain shows work best for the stage was needed, then look no further than this atrocity.
Hellboy: Why was this rebooted? Oh yeah that's right. The studio didn't want to complete Guillermo Del Toro's superior vision of what Hellboy 3 would've been. Let me be clear, I gave this film a chance to show me a new, darker and more violent version of the iconic badass. What I got was a violent, darker, noisy and whiny little bitch of a character. I love David Harbour, but he was really dealt a terrible hand and I think he knows that. There are some awesome visuals and a great fight scene with big trolls, but after the first 15 minutes the film just dissolves into a horrible mess of a film. I didn't care by the film's last 10 minutes as we retread the same themes of the first iteration of the character. Thank God there isn't gonna be a sequel to this trash.
And now we’ve arrived at the last film I hated. The crowning turd of 2019, is none other than...
Men In Black: International: Where do I even start with this abomination. I loved the original and third MIB film. It wasn't a great trilogy, but it was consistent. The character Agent J earned his place among the MIB and the chemistry between him and Agent K was a perfect example of how to do a buddy cop film in the sci fi comedy genre. This film ignored all of that and focused strictly on the comedy and just never took itself seriously. The main character Agent M, had an interesting beginning and 5 seconds after she finds the MIB, they give her everything. She didn't earn anything which made her immediately boring and unnecessary. Chris Hemsworth is a great actor and he has great comedic timing, but this was the most obnoxious and unlikeable character he's ever played. This film had no heart, no real stakes or even an idea of what the story wanted to be. Like I said in my review, this film franchise should've stayed dead after Men In Black 3.
That's all folks and thank the heavens. These were the worst films of 2019 and I say this every year, but I really hope I'm right. Let's hope 2020 has a shorter list of worst films.
This is a sideblog. Follows and likes and replies will come from my main blog @thing-you-do-with-that-thing. My main blog is mainly SPN content but you’ll see none of that here. This blog is marvel only and maybe an occasional personal post.
Positivity and Zero Hate Tolerance
I DO NOT tolerate hate of any kind towards any actors, spouses (girlfriends or exes either) or characters. Yes, there are actors and characters I dislike but I’ll spew no hate and I’ll not tolerate you do so on posts coming off my blog either. No, I am not willing to tell you who I dislike since that always bring debate and hate with it.
Discussions are welcome, but hate is not. If you sent me hate I will block you. If you hate on the actors or their s/os on my positive posts or send it to my inbox I will block you. If you feel it is okay to send the actors or their family hate on twitter or Instagram you aren’t welcome on my blog either. We don’t have to share an opinion to be friendly, but there is behavior I just simply won’t tolerate.
Any character hate will make me unfollow you and if it ends up in my inbox or on my posts I will block you.
I also don’t tolerate Starker on my dash or any other ships that encourage child abuse - I will unfollow, report and block you if I see it.
Zero Hate Tolerance for my followers as well
Any race, gender, and sexual orientation are welcome to on my blog. You’ll see no hate towards anyone here. If I ever call people out it is based on opinions and behavior - never skin color, gender, religion or who they do or do not sleep with.
That being said I myself am a cis white bi female. I try and make my readers fairly neutral but often they fall into the cis women category. I try and not show race though (unless I have a specific reason too in the plot) and my sexual orientation show in me writing both m/m, f/f, f/m, and poly fics.
Original Content
I am a fanfic writer. I write reader inserts for characters and actors in the MCU fandom. I write mainly write reader inserts but I write ships also. I write both rpf and character fics.
There are ships I don’t write or read but again the blog is hate free (I got zero tolerance for underage ships though). Otherwise, Ship and let sail.
Every fic is tagged what it is and only what it is. Everything I write doesn’t have to be your cuppa tea to follow me. Just don’t be a dick about it and we’ll get along nicely.
I write FICTION. Which means the few times I’ll write a rpf ship it’s just that! I don’t think Chris and Seb are getting it on while we aren’t looking. It is all in good fun and I treat the actors and characters with respect in my fics. My fics hurt no one and I am under no illusions I write REAL PEOPLE, I write my perception of who they are and sometimes a fun fantasy of what could be.
Aside from my writing, I create Aesthetics and Icons - which I have heaps of fun with but my blog is mainly a fanfiction and fangirling blog ;)
2. How to Navigate the Blog
In my bio to the left, you can read what this blog is all about. There is a link to my FAQ which you are currently reading. There is a link to my masterlist, my taglists (where you can add yourself and read the rules that go along with being tagged) and a link to my main blog.
Further to the left, you find Talk to Me where you can send me asks about anything you'd like. And a list of Kari's Reading Lists which is MCU fic recs from yours truly. Go read and send the authors some loving.
I tag pretty carefully, so if there is something or someone you wanna blacklist - just let me know and I will tell you the tag or create one. I won’t be offended.
3. Who do you write for?
So far mainly Steve, Bucky and Stucky x Reader along with Seb and Chris x reader.
I write a bunch of the other character too but not as often. I am open to expanding to both more ships, rpf, and characters in the future - including Hardy/Eddie Brock and Reynolds/Wade Wilson.
I sometimes write for some of the actor's other characters as well, but that is rarer.
4. What genres do you write?
I mainly write Angst and fluff. A crack fic sneaks in at times and smut occurs in some fics - mostly series, but rarely. I don’t write porn without plot anymore but if the plot calls for it my characters can have fun. Everything is tagged and warned for.
5. A SFW blog with NSFW content
All smut/porn on my blog is tagged and warned for. Original content and not.
6. Requests and Posting Schedule
I don’t have a set posting schedule.
My requests are closed and they won’t open for real. Sometimes I take ideas for bingo cards or I take requests for preferences, headcanons or aesthetics BUT one shot and series I won’t open my requests for again. I simply got too many ideas of my own. Sorry.
7. Do you tag people in your fics?
Yes. Feel free to take a peek at the list and put you on any open tag lists you would like. You can find the link here. The way I set up the doc (because people kept messing with the format and taking people other than themselves off) you need to be on a computer to work it. Sorry.
If you are interested you can turn on notifications for my side blog: Kari-Writes-Fandoms - all my writing will be reblogged to it and it will only hold my original content. That being said my SPN writing is also reblogged there but you can just ignore what you don’t wanna see - I haven’t written anything SPN in a while anyway.
8. Can I tag you in my fics?
You can tag me in any genre you like. It’s not a guarantee I read it. I’ll try and read as much as I can but I got a life.
I won’t read your fic if it has no warnings. There are things that angers or makes me feel bad and I won’t be surprised by them.
It’s also not a guarantee I’ll put you on Kari’s Reading List. Only my very favorite things go on that list.
DON’T TAG ME IN NOT MENTIONED PAIRINGS!
Characters x Reader I read: Bucky, Steve, Tony, Sam, Clint, Wanda, Valkyrie, Nat, Thor. And even if they aren’t MCU - Wade Wilson and Eddie Brock (no monster porn with Venom though please)
RPF x Reader: Evans, Hemsworth, Tom Hardy, Hiddles and Sebastian (RPF Ships as poly only: Elsa x Chris x Reader and Evanstan x Reader)
Ships (all solo or as poly with reader): Stucky, Winterhawk, Winterwidow, Winterwitch, SteveSam, Cap3, Winterfalcon, Clintasha and Steggy.
If your fic contains hate against any spouses or former girlfriends or current S/Os don’t tag me. If your fic contains hate towards any actors, don’t tag me. If your fic contains non con, dub con, mommy kink, daddy kink, underage smut or incest in any shape or form (I count Thorki) please don’t tag me. Don’t tag me in A/B/O either it is not my thing. No BDSM, choking or tying him or his partner up for Bucky either!
FAQ
1. I sent you chainmail - why didn’t you answer?
Honestly, they are a huge pet peeve of mine. I don’t answer nor do I sent them to anyone else. I delete them as soon as I get them. Thank you for thinking of me but save it for someone else. I much rather you send me something you wrote or a heart or something.
2. How old are you?
So many... I was born August 26th, 1987
3. I got another question. Can I ask?
Sure my asks are always open. Just remember to be polite and I will be the same :)
An up-to-date look at the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Expect a lot of sequels.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe closed out its “Infinity Saga” last summer with the releases of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, which ended a 23-film cycle of big, ambitious, and thrilling storytelling. Despite what felt like a logical beginning, middle and end to its first few phases of films, Disney and Marvel have no plans to slow down anytime soon.
Captain America, Iron Man, and some of the other key Avengers from the last decade-plus are now set aside for characters stepping forward into bigger roles — such as Black Panther and Captain Marvel — and characters we have not seen in this iteration of films yet. With Disney’s merger with Fox, characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four are on the way with Marvel Studios now having the rights to the majority of the storied comic company’s intellectual property. This comes after decades of heroes’ film rights being divided among several studios.
Here is the full list of projects that are currently in development for the next phases of the MCU.
Theatrical Releases
Black Widow (November 6, 2020)
There had been rumors for years that Scarlett Johansson would get her own solo film and now it is set to lead Marvel’s “Phase Four” as the first-post Infinity Saga movie. However, this film is set to take place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Other cast members include David Harbour, Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh, among others. Taskmaster will be the villain in this movie, who is known for his ability to copy the powers of the heroes he is facing.
The Eternals (February 12, 2021)
Marvel is never afraid to throw something new and weird at its audience, and did so with massive success with the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. The Eternals is set to tell the story of a race of human-god aliens created by beings called Celestials that have lived on Earth for 7,000 years among us. The cast includes Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Angeline Jolie, Gemma Chan, Lauren Ridloff, Salma Hayek, Brian Tyree Henry, Lia McHugh, and Kit Harington, to name a few from the massive lineup. Chloé Zhao will helm the film.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (May 7, 2021)
The MCU has a way of existing as genre films inside of a superhero film packaging. To name a few examples, we have seen political thrillers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and heist films (Ant-Man), but now Marvel steps into its first kung fu-inspired take. Shang-Chi is a master of the martial arts and will be played by relative newcomer Simu Liu. We have actually heard of the Ten Rings before, as they were the terrorist organization introduced when Tony Stark was kidnapped in Iron Man. Then, we met its leader, The Mandarin, in Iron Man 3. Except we didn’t because that was a fake out. Tony Leung is set to play the “real” Mandarin and Awkwafina is also set for a role in the film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
Untitled Spider-Man Sequel (November 5, 2021)
Things were dicey here for a bit with Disney and Sony, who owns Spider-Man’s film rights, having a contract dispute in the summer of 2019. However, both sides came to an agreement and Tom Holland’s Spidey is back on track with Zendaya also set to return and Jon Watts directing once again.
Thor: Love and Thunder (February 11, 2022)
Thor is one of the only original Avengers set to play a role in the next phase of films and both Chris Hemsworth and director Taika Waititi are set to return. Tessa Thompson will also return as Valkyrie and Natalie Portman is making her return to the role of Jane Foster in the film. Foster is set to become the female version of Thor in this next installment with Christian Bale making his MCU debut as the film’s villain, though we do not yet know who he is playing.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (March 25, 2022)
Doctor Strange’s solo outing was solid, but did not do a ton to movie the needle among MCU fans. That changed with the key role that he played in both Infinity War and Endgame and now he is back for another film centered around him. This time, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Strange will be joined by another Marvel hero in the form of Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen. Benedict Wong is set to return as Wong with Chiwetel Ejiofor also back to play Karl Mordo. The events of this film will be tied into the Scarlet Witch Disney+ series WandaVision (which we will discuss here a bit later). The film will be directed by Sam Raimi of the Evil Dead franchise and the 2000s Spider-Man films.
Black Panther II (May 6, 2022)
When Black Panther became the cultural phenomenon it was after coming out in February of 2018 — eventually earning a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars — it was only a matter of time before we got a sequel. Not much is known about the project other than Ryan Coogler returning to direct and the expectation is that the majority of the cast from the last film should return, as well. The rumor is that the sequel may feature Namor, who actually preceded Aquaman as the Atlantean/human hybrid character in pop culture.
Untitled Captain Marvel Sequel (July 8, 2022)
The only thing that is known about this film is that Brie Larson is set to reprise her role as the titular hero. Seeing as her solo film took place in the 90s and Endgame brought her into the present day, there is no shortage of possibilities for what her next outing might look like.
Unscheduled theatrical projects
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
After a brief brush with controversy over old tweets that saw James Gunn fired from the job of directing this movie, all sides came to an agreement and he was brought back. This is expected to close out the story thread of his iteration of the Guardians, but it is going to have to wait until he finishes work on DC’s The Suicide Squad, which he signed on to direct when he was originally fired by Marvel.
Untitled Ant-Man and The Wasp Sequel
A more recent addition to the upcoming slate of films with news of its development dropping in April 2020. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are expected to be back in their roles, and Peyton Reed will be back to direct after doing the last two films.
Blade
This was the surprise of all surprises when its development was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Mahershala Ali will be playing the role after lobbying Marvel to bring back the character, and the Oscar winner reaching out was too good for the studio to pass up. That is all we know about this film for now, but it has fans of the vampire hunter excited to see what Ali and the studio can come up with.
Fantastic Four
It is only a matter of time before we get to see Marvel’s iconic foursome of heroes hit the screen again after the Disney-Fox merger went through. After a few “meh” outings in the mid-2000s and a putrid reboot attempt in 2015, the characters are back where they belong. All we know so far is that the studio is developing the project with no other details available at this time. Fans have been clamoring for the real-life couple of John Krasinski and Emily Blunt to play Reed Richards and Sue Storm, respectively. You can add my name to the list of people who would love to see that casting.
X-Men
We are probably far away from the X-Men making their debut in the MCU, which is not the worst thing in the world. Fox’s franchise ran for almost 20 years and it is going to take some time for people to cleanse their pallets of the Hugh Jackman/Patrick Stewart-era of characters. They are on the way, but it is going to take some time and they might be the last of these projects that we see on the screen.
Disney+ Shows
These will appear exclusively on the Disney+ streaming platform, but Marvel maintains they will have cinematic budgets and that everything will connect to the theatrical releases, so this is a brand new layer to the MCU.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (August 2020)
Now that Black Widow has been pushed to the fall, this is the next MCU property we are set to see. This series is set to follow Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) after the events of Endgame, where an old Captain America passed his shield and mantle on to Wilson. Daniel Brühl is set to return as Helmut Zemo of Civil War fame and Emily VanCamp returning as Sharon Carter. Wyatt Russell joins the cast as John Walker, the U.S. government created successor to Steve Rogers.
WandaVision (December 2020)
As we mentioned before, this series is set to lead into the events of the Doctor Strange sequel with Wanda Maximoff involved in a big way. Paul Bettany is also set to return as Vision, as it appears that Wanda has created an alternate reality where they can live together among the backdrop of sitcom-style settings from multiple decades (yeah, it’s going to get really dang weird). An adult version of Monica Rambeau, who was a child in Captain Marvel, is set to debut and be played by Teyonah Parris. Randall Park and Kat Dennings are going to return to the MCU in their roles of Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis, respectively.
Loki (Early 2021)
Loki stealing the Tesseract in an alternate timeline in Endgame screamed Disney+ series, and now Marvel is doing just that. The series will see Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the God of Mischief as an alternate version of his 2012 self traveling back in time and altering history. Owen Wilson and Richard E. Grant are also set to join in some form or fashion.
What If...? (Mid-2021)
This is going to be an animated anthology series that explores how events of the MCU would have happened by changing different variables, a la if Peggy Carter was given the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers. The original actors from MCU films will return to reprise their roles in a voice acting capacity for the series, which will star Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher. A second season has already been greenlit, as well.
Hawkeye (2022)
A limited series is set to come for the bow-and-arrow wielder with Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Clint Barton, which would see him pass on his mantle of Hawkeye to Kate Bishop (reportedly to be portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld).
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel has been a recent character in the comics with rapidly growing popularity among fans. Not a whole lot is out there on the series other than Bisha K. Ali being hired as the head writer. It is also possible Ms. Marvel is introduced in Captain Marvel’s sequel.
Moon Knight (2022)
Moon Knight is Marvel’s answer to Batman, except he has a dissociative identity disorder. So ... that’s an interesting concept. In addition to his Disney+ series, Moon Knight will be appearing in future MCU films, as well.
She-Hulk (2022)
She-Hulk is set to revolve around Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner/Hulk who gains powers after receiving a blood transfusion from him. Walters is a skilled lawyer and has often appeared as representation to heroes and other enhanced beings over the years. Another ... interesting concept. Marvel is reportedly looking for an “Alison Brie-type” to play this character. The lead writer on the series is set to be Jessica Gao of Rick and Morty fame.
Why is it that I'm never good enough? I always try my best and I'm still the bad one. Nothing I ever do earns a "I'm proud of you" I'm never the favorite, I'm never wanted. I'm always told to be quite or sit down or go away. I'm too loud or obnoxious. Even when I dont talk I'm in the way. I'm too boyish and tough or not tough enough. I do the right thing and I still get yelled at. I try and I still fail. And what is it even for? To earn some sort of love and respect that I will never be given. I'm told not to bend to societies standards then I'm told i have to bend to survive. Which is it? do you want me to make myself heard or submit? There is a fine line in telling someone that they get what they get and they deserve better. Either I'm too smart or too stupid. To young or to old. But never enough. Never first pick. You tell me to be smarter but get mad when I attempt to learn from you. Tell me to ask questions and get mad when I question you. I'm tired of being the bother that you only keep around because you have to. I want someone to love me for me and accept all of me, even the little annoying bits. I'm tired of people trying to change what they dont like about me.
