"My name is Nyota. I'm the communications officer, I- I was born in Kenya- I used to have a cat, named Kamili. My first memory is watching my dad play the piano. I'm real."
Okay but I was wholly unprepared for how much it would mean to me to see more of Uhura's African identity actually being canonised by this show. The "I'm real" especially got to me; just a throwaway line but it really made me think of the Ben Sisko/Benny Russell parallels! Nyota, born in the 23rd century, is exactly the sort of person Benny Russell dreamed could exist in the future. She is real! She exists!
I would like to say, you have gotten me invested in all your aus so much.
I saw unmutated Donnie and came to your blog bc it seemed like a funny concept, and then learned that you were the writer of open your shell to find your wings, which I had been following on ao3 for a little while at that point, and then mosquitello happened and at first I just went “oh haha, how silly” but NOW IM INVESTED and the same for snapdonnie and just-
Genuinely, I check your blog multiple times every day. I love your aus, they are just. Amazing.
My feelings can be summarized in a keysmash: AFSFFDFSGDSGJL /pos
Anyways, just here to say thank you, I love your aus, and i want you to know that. :D

dont worry im not uncomfortable at all in fact very flattered!! its very flattering to hear i have attractive oc designs LOL!! IM VERY GLAD TO HEAR IT!!!
but also good luck fighting colress for her. they are incredibly obsessed with him/lhj
i was wondering ig i could have your opinon on mcu!bucky barnes (did marvel do him well, his overall character devlopement, him showing up in all the different films, etc)? i love your blog because your opinons have changed the way i write my mcu fanfics and just the way i think of marvel. also, you introduced me to parksborn and i am obssessed!! anways, love your blog -liz
so this is a tricky subject bc people have a Lot of opinions on bucky …. but here is mine. despite having very limited screen time, I think the first few films did a good job. the first avenger, winter soldier, even civil war. there was a lot of subtext we could draw about his character. he wanted to spend his last night home in nyc at a science fair w his best friend. he’s jealous when he meets peggy (not because he wishes he could have her, but he begins to wonder what bis place in steve’s life is now that steve doesn’t technically “need” him). he’s loyal, and brave, and a little sharp around the edges. when he “wakes up” from being the winter soldier, he’s traumatized and haunted. he’s been a POW; brainwashed tortured and manipulated. his body was turned into a weapon, and his mind was rewired. he feels guilty because he remembers. he may not have been in control, but his body did commit these crimes. and his body is still dangerous. he’s tells steve that he’s not sure if he’s worth all this (still insecure and still unsure of where he stands with steve). that’s why he chooses to go back into cryofreeze until shuri can find a way to deprogram the winter soldier. and when he wakes up, he is more free than he has been in almost a century. tells him but marvel quickly shifted away from this (which I do not agree with). they started treating him like a villain. a whole plotline in fatws was about how he should pay for his crimes. and steve, who told him he’d be with him no matter what, leaves him, and sends him back into the ‘what is my worth?’ and now, he’s going to be in the thunderbolts (a film about mcu villains). so i’m definitely unsure and a little weary of the future of the character
