LOKI EPISODES 4 and 5, HOLY SHIT!
Let me tell you, this past week was insane! I did manage to watch Episode 4 last week but pretty much fell asleep straight after so I completely missed writing about Episode 4!
So let's talk about that one first before I lose my absolute shit at Episode 5!
As always, HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT!
So then... it is finally revealed that Ravonna had something to do with Kang before. I can't say I'm too surprised. And of course she would just kill a bunch of people to get her way.
Quite interesting how she pretended Loki was the villain this whole time when it's actually her. And don't even get me started on Brad!
I have a feeling we're gonna have a big confrontation in the final episode... but I'm getting ahead of myself--I am way too hyped now after Episode 5.
Now, I have to say, Episode 4 didn't have an awful lot of Loki in it, haha! But hells, did Episode 5 make up for that... DAMN!
The cliffhanger was something else. Obviously, the suspense wasn't one of "oh no, they're doomed and everyone's dead now" but rather "oh shit, how are they going to fix THAT?!"
Good thing it wasn't Loki who went out there... so much for spaghettification. So with that... let's move on to Episode 5 so I can lose my absolute shit!
The very moment O.B. mentioned that Loki might be able to control time slipping I was like 👀. I had a feeling where this was going but... patience, patience, patience.
I swear my poor heartbroken God of Mischief... the fact the timelines were all just evaporating was honestly scary. I mean, imagine your reality is falling apart and there is NOTHING left. NOTHING. And there's nowhere for you to go.
I thought it was convenient that Loki would show up in his friends' timelines until I realised there was a reason for that. Speaking of which... B15 was a doctor, aw! And Mobius finally has his Jetskis! And two sons?! GODS! I hope that they'll be able to combine their TVA life and their timeline life. There's gotta be a way, right?
But to be fair... Casey didn't wanna go back to prison (did you hear him say "they're gonna gut us like fish" I was cackling), Mobius loves jetskis but doesn't seem to be 100% fulfilled with this job... O.B. is a writer who's trying to make it (I felt that) and I guess... you could say B15 has great purpose as a doctor but still! So... I'm still with Loki, they did have a purpose at the TVA and it should be their choice.
I totally love the conversation between Loki and Sylvie here and the fact that she admitted that she's selfish. Is Loki selfish too? Yes and no. Yes, he wants his friends back. But why? Because he CARES about them. And because he knows that most of them aren't actually as happy as they should be in their timelines. Also, naturally, if he doesn't fix this, then all of reality will evaporate so his argument is quite valid.
I swear when he said "where do I belong then"... I was SO DAMN CLOSE TO TEARS. I just wanted to HUG him so bad! Because it's true, isn't it? Loki has no timeline to go back to. He can't just show up in Asgard and pretend like nothing ever happened. But a life like the one Sylvie thinks she's happy with, working at McDonald's? That's not it for Loki, we all know that! I swear... by the end of Season 2 it will be official that he found his glorious purpose!
I mean... just the fact that he was willing to give it all up alone... to let Mobius and everyone else go back to their timelines... NO ONE DARE SAY HE IS A VILLAIN EVER AGAIN, OUR PRECIOUS BABY!
I know I said we don't need Loki to be a self-righteous hero and we don't but the character development in this episode, the reflection of what's been going on with him... SO DAMN GOOD! It's proof that Loki has a good heart, honestly! I mean... we knew that already, it's not the first time we saw it on display but still... awww!
So what's next? Loki, the lord of time... I mean, I'm sorry... did he just become the most powerful being in the MCU?! JUSTICE FOR LOKI AT LAST! I WAS SCREAMING LET ME TELL YOU!
I was hoping for something like that so bad and now here we are! With how things are working out right now, I have a feeling it won't be long until Loki is back in the main MCU timeline and the ultimate force in the final battle against Kang!

20 Questions for Fic Writers
tagged by @jdeanmorgan 😘
How many works do you have on ao3?
264. holy shit!
What's your total ao3 word count?
428,688
What fandoms do you write for?
men's hockey rpf, rwrb, rwrb rpf, 911, 911 rpf are the ones i have current wips for although its been a minute since i've written buddie. i'm an rpf bitch lately.
Top five fics by kudos:
open my heart and let it bleed onto yours (sterek, teen wolf), (be a) good wolf (sterek, teen wolf), safe (sterek, teen wolf), partner (buddie, 911), home (sterek, teen wolf) these haven't moved in a while my new fandoms are not as big as teen wolf those fics did some numbers
Do you respond to comments?
nearly always! i love engaging with readers, but even if its just an emoji or a thank you i usually respond.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
probably hold me like i was forgiven (tknp, men's hockey rpf)
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
recently, and in the most traditional sense, maybe dance with me so we don't cry (firstprince, rwrb)
Do you get hate on fics?
i write a lot of rpf, so yeah. not on hockey fic, but actor rpf tends to bring it out in people 🙃 i got more comments that irked me on disaster than i'm used to bc i didn't do what some people expected, but only one or two of those i'd consider hate.
Do you write smut?
yes! the fic i posted today, you could've texted (ryliver, 911 rpf) is pwp.
Craziest crossover:
i don't think i've written one? i'm not opposed but. not yet.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of
Have you ever had a fic translated?
no but i would love that! eventually i will tackle translating one of mine into spanish.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
i've cowritten a series but not a fic, but only the ones i wrote are still up
All time favorite ship?
impossible question. i don't ever really get over/move on from a ship completely i just shift to mostly reading/writing something else. stucky, sterek, buddie, firstprince, tknp, and sidgeno are probably my big ones that are like, ingrained into my soul at this point. but they absolutely are not the only ones i care about.
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i have a bunch of sterek and buddie wips that i'm not sure i'll ever get back to. the buddie ones certainly have more of a chance but. i don't know. shadow (buddie) and stilinski construction (sterek) are two i think about every so often but i'm not sure i'll finish.
What are your writing strengths?
who knows. dialog maybe? when i have it nailed down for a character which isn't always. giving a little glimpse of a world and situation in a short fic, maybe? sexual tension, perhaps. i feel like i write good blowjobs.
What are your writing weaknesses?
uh, plot? action? why would my characters DO anything when they could just talk and think and fuck. kissing is so fucking hard to write.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
on the rare occasion it actually makes sense for the character im fine with it. i've written some spanish dialog in fic. but just because a character speaks another language doesn't mean they'd randomly start speaking it in the middle of a conversation or something.
First fandom you wrote in?
stucky/captain america/mcu. my first fic was Captain America and the Winter Soldier Read Thirst Tweets
Favorite fic you've written?
if i had to pick right now it would be disaster and forgive me, father for very different reasons <3

Hilda Appreciation Week Day Seven
@hilda-appreciation-week #hildaappreciationweek2024
Day Seven: Free Day/Favorite AU(s) (Yours, someone else's, or both!)
Now it's the last day and it's a free one. Specifically about AU's and whatever else. But I'm going to admit this. I don't really have a favorite AU. I don't really delve into many AU's in the Hilda fanbase. But you know, I have read some stuff that is AU related. Even though I mainly read stuff that could be friendly to canon or not. It depends, but again, I don't know every AU and I don't catch up with them. But I want to give praise to @wildflowers-of-trolberg and her amazing "Runaway Hilda" AU.
While I have only read the "Main" story of it. Not any of the side stories from what I know. But I am genuinely impressed with the amount of work Pikablob has done for making this one big AU. She is a very talented person with all of the writing she has done. Even if we disagree on certain things. I'd recommend checking out their account if you like HIlda.
I also need to read @hyperpsychomaniac 's work as well because they are very talented from what I've seen.
But I want to talk about my own stuff. It's something I've thought of before. But it's still in development. I question if I'll continue it. It all started with a...simple story of Eda meeting Johanna in a certain scenario. And I should continue trying to write a cohesive timeline that pretty much contains Hilda, The Owl House and Infinity Train in one multiverse.
I try to make my stories canon friendly where you can imagine they likely happen in canon before or after certain things. But I did change one thing for Infinity Train. Mainly the end of book 3. But everything else before those events are canon. I'm speaking about books 4, 1, 2 and book 3 episodes 1-8.
One of the challenges I know I am going to face is adding Hilda season 3 into the timeline. Because that season revealed some game changing information for the series. But also, I have thought maybe because of season 3, the multiverse connecting these three shows might be so much easier.
Granted, I have nothing major with any huge crossovers. I've mainly written some Joheda stuff. Even though I'd REALLY want to write some major stuff with Infinity Train. My old plans were to include Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur into it. But I felt because of other plans and other things I've been thinking, I'd likely rather not add a Marvel property into it.
Yet I had announced that I would planning to add Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss into this timeline with this meme. https://www.tumblr.com/geekgemsspooksandtoons/740457984559300608/holy-shit-he-hasnt-even-written-a-story-where?source=share
But I genuinely question about deleting that and if I want to go with through with that. Because season 1 is only a thing and season 2 is going to introduce a lot of new stuff. Yet I like the funny idea of characters like Erik Ahlberg, Emperor Belos, Simon Laurent, Amelia Hughes, Adam, Lute, Alastor and the Vee's all exist in the same multiverse. Yet I should say that would be pretty terrifying.
In a nutshell, I have thought I basically made my own MCU using shows that you need to watch to understand this timeline if I were to ever crossover more of them.
I'm getting distracted and should post this. This is the last of my Hilda appreciation week posts. Thank you all for liking my previous posts. :) I really liked that this existed. It's a great way to have the fandom talk about what they love about the show.

Blood On Set
Being an actor isn’t easy. I’d like to act full time but right now working the night shift at my local Wal-Mart is what pays… part of the bills. I got three roommates to afford my apartment, we all bond on the impossible dream of catching our big break in the MCU.
Frankly I was through the moon when I finally got called back to do some work as one of the main characters in an indie film. Up until then, all my ‘acting’ skill was as an extra or a dead body and I was dying to actually show what I could do, you know? I wasn’t gonna get paid well but this could’ve been a stepping stone to greater things.
Shooting was to take place over two weeks. I was to play Seth Taylor, childhood friend to the main character who always wanted something a little more but never had the nerve. Plotline was basic, college girl was being stalked by an unknown figure who may or may not be supernatural, turns out it’s a group of satanists who need to sacrifice her on the new moon to achieve their sinister goals.
The night before shooting began all of us actors had drinks together. It was great getting to know each other. The star of the show was Abby, and I don’t really believe in love at first sight… but I believe in instant chemistry. And I knew off the bat Abby and I were compatible. She had this spark, this love for life and for acting. She’d already gotten a few small roles, even a guest role on a TV show as the victim of the week. I never felt so immediately comfortable around someone else.
Got to meet a few other people too, Geoffrey, who was going to be Abby’s boyfriend/first victim of the movie. He had one of those big laughs that could get a bit grating after a while, but he was nice enough. Liberty, who was going to be Abby’s best gal friend, she had such a morbid sense of humor and had us laughing all night. Ricky, CJ, Garrett, all gonna be various cult members, and Colin, the cult leader. I wasn’t really sure about the casting of Colin, he seemed so quiet, but I realized quite quickly when he stood up why he was cast- dude was nearly seven feet tall. I’m fucking five foot four, I had to crane my neck up to see his face.
Our director/writer/producer was Duncan Turner. He seemed pretty nice, a bit nervous, but nice. Clearly had a boner for Abby, he couldn’t tell her no to anything. I tried to tell him I was a trans man, he seemed to be trying to avoid the subject, then Abby brings up the idea of working that into my character’s backstory and he immediately grabbed his copy of the script to start scribbling in new lines.
Yeah, it was clear this was his first movie, but frankly I didn’t care. This was the first time I had a role with more than two lines. I was pumped.
First two days of shooting went off perfectly. Despite my initial doubts about Colin, he came right into the role of the disturbing cult leader Damion. And although the script was a little cliché, a little ridiculous, it was still fun.
It was fun. Until things got… weird. And by weird I mean someone got killed.
It was day three. We mostly used Duncan’s old college as a set, and we were filming the scene where Abby’s character Nancy is being chased around a theater all set up for a college production of The Phantom of the Opera. What was meant to happen was I was supposed to trip CJ and we were supposed to run off while he was stunned.
What happened was, I tripped CJ, I heard the sound of something cracking, and I looked up just in time for a giant fucking spotlight to come crashing down. CJ opened his eyes just in time for it to squash his head like a grape. Blood and head gore exploded everywhere, covering me, Abby, and the set around us.
I threw up. Duncan screamed bloody murder. Abby just stared at CJ’s twitching body.
Yeah, holy shit. I’ve never seen a dead body outside of a funeral before and uh… yeah, had a lot to talk about with my therapist that week.
It was just an accident, of course. No one was up there. Something was a little loose, and CJ was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That was our third take of that scene, I was declared not responsible for CJ’s death. And uh, we marched on with filming.
Yeah, it’s cold, and I probably should’ve jumped ship then. But we only had so much time we were allowed to film at the college and Duncan invested a lot of his own money into this movie. Not to mention if I did leave, I’d forfeit my paycheck. We managed to reshoot the scene with Garrett and at the parking lot instead. Granted, Garrett nearly got hit by a goddamn car because some dumb bitch was driving drunk instead of taking an Uber, but he dodged it last second.
I should’ve known the shoot was cursed though. Like nothing as bad as CJ happened until the last day, but things were always off. Garrett kept showing up drunk and ended up breaking his ankle. Thankfully he’d already shot all his scenes but Jesus Christ dude, it’s still work. Ricky just stopped showing up, fucked off to god knows where. Geoffrey cut his arm really bad during his murder scene and it got infected. One of our dude extras got a little creepy with Liberty and she ended up breaking his nose. I could go on. Not to mention I started having some really fucked up nightmares.
I’d always struggled with nightmares. My combo of meds make my dreams super fucking vivid, but this was different. I swore I was really there when I dreamed that Garrett’s feet were getting sawed off. Or when worms and maggots started crawling out of Geoffrey’s cut arm, silencing his screams when they all filled his mouth and choked him to death. Just. Really fucked up shit.
I spent a lot of time with Abby to distract me from all the weird shit going on. We’d have drinks at her place, we’d talk everything from our acting dreams to the name of our favorite Neopet when we were kids. God, I could’ve talked about anything with her. I felt so safe and comfortable around her.
Maybe I should’ve picked up quicker that nearly all our male extras bailed. Or just didn’t turn up. There was something very wrong with this shoot and it’s on me that I didn’t realize something was wrong.
Last day. Last shoot. Final scene. Seth was going to save Nancy from being sacrificed by Damion, and we’d kill him together. It was originally going to be shot in Duncan’s basement, but the morning of I got a text, saying Abby was going to pick me up and that things had changed.
She arrived about an hour from sundown, already in costume judging by the fake blood all over her t-shirt. I jumped in the car and asked what was up.
“Colin has a better basement, more space for camera junk and stuff. Duncan was totally cool with it and will meet us there. Apparently it’ll be a one take deal, so you think you can do it?”
I gave a double thumbs up. Abby smiled, my heart melted, and she offered me a bottle of water. So my throat wouldn’t be dry during shoots.
I didn’t realize I was drugged until I was almost asleep, and of course by then it was too late.
I woke up tied to a chair, some sort of cloth stuffed in my mouth to gag me. The room was completely dark and smelled like rotting meat. In front of me, I saw Duncan laying on the floor, his head was bleeding but I heard him groan. I wondered why the hell he wasn’t getting up but then I saw the pools of blood around his hands and feet.
He’d been nailed to the goddamn floor.
When Abby walked into sight it hit me like a sledgehammer that the blood on her shirt probably wasn’t fake.
She waved her hand and candles all around the room lit up. I would’ve screamed if I could’ve, but all I could do was stare in horror at the bodies nailed to all the walls. Garrett, Ricky, CJ’s headless body, all the other extras that stopped showing up, other guys I didn’t recognize. All of them were dead with their chests ripped open.
Abby came beside me and tested the ropes on my wrists to make sure they were secure. “You comfortable? They aren’t too tight or anything?” She asked.
I stared at her, I couldn’t believe this was happening. Abby nodded before removing the gag. “Right, sorry. Can’t talk while gagged.”
I swallowed all the spit in my mouth before I said, “Why are you doing this?”
“Because he needs it. Otherwise he’ll die. And I won’t let my boyfriend die. You’re just here so you have an alibi, so it’s not pinned on you. Cuz I really like you, Logan. And I’m sorry you have to witness this, but if it gets too much, just close your eyes. I had to at first too.”
I was going to ask why the hell her ‘boyfriend’ needed something when I realized something was hanging from the ceiling that was not another body.
It crawled down one of the walls, its unnaturally long limbs jointed in three different places. It had six arms and four legs, and was naked. Each of its pale fingers ended in an inch long claw. It was the most inhuman thing I have ever seen.
But its head was human, even if its neck was almost two feet long. Colin’s head. Colin’s head was on this thing’s body, and as it looked up at me I swear its eyes looked hungry. Abby patted its shoulder and shook her head. “Leave him alone, babe. He’s my friend,” She said.
Colin looked at her before bobbing its head up and down and it scrambled over to the awakening Duncan.
“Wha… what’s going on…” Duncan’s eyes fluttered open as Colin’s head hovered above his own. His face went white. “Oh- oh my god, what the f-”
One of Colin’s limbs shot forward and its claws unzipped Duncan’s chest like a winter jacket, his guts spilling out everywhere. Duncan’s scream will never leave me. Colin’s mouth opened, revealing a mouthful of janky sharp teeth before he bit into Duncan’s guts, I think I saw him pull out an intestine before I listened to Abby and closed my eyes.
Duncan didn’t scream for much longer, but the chewing and swallowing sounds were impossible to block out. When it was all quiet, I finally opened my eyes. Duncan’s torso was hollowed out, his eyes staring lifelessly at the ceiling.
Colin looked normal again, just your average guy. Abby patted his back, kissed his gore covered cheek, and he walked upstairs. She looked at me and I had to ask one more thing:
“What the hell are you two?”
Abby laughed quietly.
“I’m a witch. And as for Colin… he’s… unknown.”
With that, she walked upstairs and out of my life.
The cops came soon enough, I guess Duncan’s screams carried enough, or maybe Abby called them. I was taken to the hospital and thankfully I was just considered a victim that these two crazy motherfuckers hadn’t gotten around to. There was twelve bodies in that basement.
Maybe Abby cursed the shoot herself, maybe it was just never meant to go right. Either way, Abby and Colin are gone, and I don’t think I’ll ever see them again. If I’m quiet for too long I swear I can hear that chewing echoing in my ears.
I did get paid though. Dunno by who considering how very not alive Duncan is, but I just got the money wired into my account today.
I guess Abby didn’t want my time wasted on what probably would’ve been an okay movie, had not most of the cast got murdered and eaten by her boyfriend.

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks @magnetarmadda for the tag! (I'm slowly getting caught up on these.)
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
64 on AO3. (I have a few that are just on Tumblr that I really need to back up onto AO3.)
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?
1,806,655 holy fucking shit when did it get that high.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
These days, mostly TMA. I have in the past written Star Trek, Star Wars (not on AO3, it's only on my Tumblr), MCU/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Cut & Run fics; I've also dabbled in a couple other fandoms, including what I am both proud and frustrated to say is still the only Mnemosyne fanfic in existence, or at least on AO3.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
leaves too high to touch (roots too strong to fall)
Had He Known It
Whiskey Lullaby
It Was Just My Imagination Telling Lies
Hurry Up and Slow Me Down
5. Do you respond to comments?
Every one!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Ooh, that's a toughie. I'm going to say Where the Road Waits to Be Taken.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Mmm...I write mostly happy endings, but probably Love Will Find Out the Way. That one's certainly the most joyous ending (so far, anyway).
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not since I left the super toxic fandoms.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Not anymore, no. I went through a period of about two years where I was writing it, mainly because I'd always been super bad at it and wanted to give it a shot, but I'm a sex-averse ace and I was always kind of iffy on it in fiction, so eventually I gave it up.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I'm still working on that TMA/Night Vale story, I swear. And I've got a couple Leverage/MCU fics that will probably never see the light of day. The craziest one I've ever written is probably the now-deleted Sherlock/Star Trek AOS crossover (deleted because they were at Hogwarts and...yeah).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
See #11.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Once...technically. My brother wasn't old enough for his own account yet, so he dictated the story to me and I cleaned it up a bit. (So more "ghostwritten" than "co-written", maybe?)
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
I don't think I really have one all-time favorite ship. Lots that I will always love, but not necessarily one I'd rank above all others?
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I'm not going to lie, I really want to finish the TMA "whoops this was supposed to be a oneshot" AU where everything is the same (to start with, anyway) except that Martin doesn't work for the Institute, he's a bartender at a pub that Jon stops in for a drink at and ends up falling in love with him. I just...need to figure out where the plot is going.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Emotion. Description. Angst. Evoking the feeling my characters are feeling in the reader.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I still struggle with info-dumping. And I tend to get hung up on the "perfect" way to phrase something, to the detriment of the rest of the scene.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Why not?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I used to make up stories about the Power Rangers to send myself to sleep at night when I was, like, six. And I did technically write one down for a spelling assignment in first or second grade, so that totally counts.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
to find promise of peace (and the solace of rest), and not just because it's my most recent one.
Tagging (as always, no pressure) @astudyinfic, @accal1a, @blasphemous-lies-and-deceit, @wintersnixon, and anyone else who wants to give it a go!

i shall ask once more. \o/ 12, 26, 39 (is there another snippet in stock, void-sama?) and 55! <3
Welcome back 💚
List of questions here
(I should start keeping a list of things people call me on Tumblr...)
12. How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
Like I said in response to another of these questions, I am not immune to having expectations...which have admittedly been skewed by hanging around in MCU/stucky (guys, you spoiled me).
Receiving feedback makes me happy, often derangedly happy. There's that simple pleasure in sharing something I made—something I put a lot of time, effort, and joy into—and seeing it have an effect on other people. There's a reason I reread my comments (and Tumblr tags, when applicable) a zillion times.
Not receiving it is predictably disappointing, though the intensity varies a lot with my level of investment in the fandom/ship and, more importantly, the particular story. You know those jokes about how the fics we work most on and are most proud of tend to be less well received than something we throw together in a hurry? Yeah, that's always an...interesting experience.
What feedback doesn't affect is whether I write or what I write. This wasn't the case until last year or so, but now, nearly everything I post is already fully written and being posted on a monthly schedule. It spares me from being discouraged in the middle of writing a fic. Similarly, darkfic tends to not be as popular as fluff or even hurt/comfort, but literally nothing else sparks up my brain like some gourmet fuckery, so nothing's going to make me stop writing those stories.
...holy shit, that got long.
26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
THE FUCKING KIDNAPPING FIC
I cannot tell you how weird/wild it is that this thing unraveled the way it did. I know I post a lot of multichapters for JJK, but I don't really consider them multichaps as such. More like...six-shots or something (don't ask). I was content poking at porny bits of canon divergence scenarios.
And then @nearalways asked one(1) question: What'd have happened if Yuuji had chosen not to be Sukuna's host when Gojou tells him to choose his hell? We'd also been talking a lot about how dead-eyed and done Yuuji looked in most of his middle school-era flashbacks. Long story very short, I wrote a 119k answer that has done irreparable damage to my sanity and irrevocably changed how I write Gojou in particular.
39. Share a snippet from a WIP
I always have snippets! Especially since I've got some...300k of JJK fic I haven't even posted yet. You can find it under the cut.
55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?
Yuuji, hands down. The whole reason I'm even in this fandom is because I adore that kid. I haven't been this fascinated by a shonen MC in ages. Me being me, this does mean I put him through unimaginable horrors though!
And no, not at all. You, uh, might notice that I tend to be very set in my opinions 😂
Snippet here:
Yuuji yanks at the hand pinning him down.
There’s a moment where it works. Gojou’s fingers loosen, and his whole rhythm falters, and Yuuji almost, almost frees himself, wholly intent on flipping them over, but then there’s a soft breath of laughter, and a second hand clamps down on the wrist Yuuji has nearly wrenched free.
He makes a furious final attempt, throwing the whole of his strength into it, but this time, Gojou’s hold doesn’t waver for even a second. He’s grinning down at Yuuji, the devil on his lips.
“Devious,” Gojou tells him; it sounds like a compliment. “You’ve grown stronger, Yuuji—much, much stronger.”
And that sounds like pure sex.
Yuuji’s hips buck up helplessly, and Gojou bears down against him, pinning him there too.
“Clearly,” Yuuji hisses through clenched teeth, “not enough.”
“I’m a different kind of beast,” Gojou says easily. His eyes grow heavy-lidded. “But one day soon, Yuuji, you’ll be able to hurt me. Really hurt me. Won’t that be fun?”
Yuuji’s brain is abruptly yanked away from his dick and shoved back into his skull. “What? No! I don’t want that!”
“Of course you do,” Gojou says, laughing. “You will. It’s alright. I’ll let you.”
“Gojou-sensei—”
“But that’s for later. What do you want right now, Yuuji?”
“You,” Yuuji says incredulously, a thousand meanings packed into that one word.
Gojou’s eyes narrow, a different kind of heat than the look he shot Yuuji before. “Don’t cop out on me now. What were you going to do, Yuuji?”
“Fucking—” Yuuji lifts his head just to slam it down on the mattress; it’s not satisfying at all. “I want to fucking touch you! What else!”
“Cute,” Gojou says, his smile growing wider and more unhinged at Yuuji’s growl. “Where, Yuuji? How? I’ve only been gone for nineteen days, but you already forgot the game. I trained you better than this.”

wanna be yours pt. II | mcu ; p.maximoff
A/N; if we thought it got intense in the last part, holy... Look. There's no way to skirt this. Pietro is staking his claim on Stark!reader. Maybe he's not making it blindingly obvious, but the fact remains. This one is loaded with this weird possessive / protective sexual tension. So, obvs, there are more parts to come to this.
Just curious, are there any other readerxcharacter stories I've done you guys want more parts to? Because I could do several, tbh...Tell me pls bc I am curious.
Pairing ; Pietro Maximoff x Stark!Fem reader.
Warnings ; heavy sexual tension, mentions of an injury (am operating on the theory that when Pietro lived through the incident in AoU, part of the recovery process is that he's lost some speed -not entirely, and he heals a little slower until he's up to full power again), a very intense confrontation between reader x Pietro. For now, that's all.
Timeline / Other Stuff ; we're going to go with the assumption here being that this is shortly after AoU but before all the other shit that unfolds. As before, reader/you are Tony Stark's daughter with a deceased woman and he's raised you since you were hours old. I am not sure how far I will go with this yet but.. There will be massive changes to the last movie (Tony will not be dying) if I go that far. Also, when Pietro uses his native tongue, I'm using Romanian for a basis.
Summary ; Two to three days later, you encounter Pietro in the gym. After a rather... intense confrontation (in the sexually tense sense) you get the sense that somehow, he's staking his claim.
Translations needed ; -- thanks Google translator.
draga mea - my darling , Felul în care te miști este hipnotic, draga mea - the way you move is so hypnotic + — Nu mă pot opri să te privesc. - i can’t stop watching you. — E doar o zgârietură, prințesă. - it’s just a scratch, princess. + — Mulțumesc, pisicuță. - thank you, kitten.
Tag List ; @beardedbarba is the only person on my actual MCU taglist. However, I extend a courtesy tag to @readingandwritingandreading because I feel like they'll enjoy this. Feel free to ignore, bb.
Other Stuff; tag list doc || rules - fandoms/some of the characters I write for || requests - open, currently accepting headcanon asks, filthy and fluffy alphabet letters for any fandoms/characters besides wrestling because I'm not writing for wrestling currently.
I do not consent to have my work reposted elsewhere. I also do not consent to having it reworded/copied/reworked and reposted here. You don't own this if you didn't post it. Reblogs -and comments or likes, are greatly appreciated though, as always. Just like.. don't steal my shit.
He spotted you the second you slunk in off the street with the Nike gym bag tossed over your shoulder. His eyes follow your body intently, fixed on and focused on the way your black leotard and the leopard print leggings fit you like a second skin. The oversized shirt you’ve got over the top of the leotard is somehow both loose and tight, tied at the bottom as one side of the garment seems to have given up in surrender and it’s hanging down below your shoulder.
If the spotter hadn’t grabbed the barbell in his hand, he’d have dropped it on his chest. You disappear into the dance studio and a few seconds later, some slow song by The Weeknd starts to play, filtering out the open door of the room you’re currently inside of.
Pietro rests the barbell against the supports made to hold it in place and he slips off the weight bench. In the blink of an eye, he’s leaned in the open door of the little dance studio and he’s watching you as you writhe, roll and leap around the room slowly. Gracefully.
In comparison to his super speed, it’s the total opposite. He shifts the way he stands and takes a shaky breath as the way your body felt against his and under his hands felt two nights ago during your little wordless encounter resurfaces.
This makes the speedster’s fists clench and flex at either side of his body and for lack of something else, something better to do with his hands, he folds his arms over his chest.
The song starts to fade out and your body comes to a stop, back against dark stained hardwood floorboards. Your arm raises and falls dramatically across your forehead and Pietro finds himself mesmerized by the hectic rise and fall of your chest, it’s damn near hypnotic, especially as your breathing starts to return to normal rhythm.
You pull yourself up from the floor and Pietro’s standing in front of you at the speed of light -quite literally. Your head tilts to one side and Pietro stares; hypnotized for a few seconds too long by the soft graceful curve of your neck. Fantasies of his mouth latching against your skin. His hands, all over your body.
You look light as a feather to him, he towers over you.
“Draga mea.” the words come out quiet. Husky and from way down in the depths of his chest and for a second or two, you’re mesmerized by ice blue eyes only to have your trance broken and your eyes drift down, settling on his mouth as his tongue dragged the outline of his lips, thick and wet.
You gulped. And despite any and all notions to stay where you were standing, you found yourself stepping just a little closer. And then a little more. Until no space remained and you could feel the firmness and the warmth of him pressed into you completely.
“— Felul în care te miști este hipnotic, draga mea.” he mumbles quietly. Shifting the way he’s standing but it’s too little, too late. One of his rough hands catches against your hip as the words come rolling out in his mother tongue and you tilt your head to look up at him, brows knit together in confusion. But he doesn’t repeat what he’s just said, instead, he continues to speak, “— Nu mă pot opri să te privesc.”
Your tongue drags over the outline of your lips, slow. You try to pull yourself out of his eyes but you can’t and you have the passing thought that it’s almost like being lost in a stormy sea. Then you want to smack yourself in the back of the head because you’ve spent two days telling yourself that no matter how strong the pull you felt to him was that night, it won’t happen again.
Now here it is, happening again.
And he’s talking to you in that damned seductive velvety growl - a langauge that you can’t understand but whatever he’s saying is said in such a way that you’re dripping, soaked almost uncomfortable with just two mere sentences, , distracting as hell in the tank top and track pants that hang just a little too loose and low on his hips.
His hand raises, busted knuckles graze against hair sticking to your forehead. The hair is brushed away and you lightly tap a sneaker against the wood floorboards as you try to process everything all at once. This feels like a game of cat and mouse. One that you won’t win.
You feel very much like prey under his calm blue sky gaze. And you’re not entirely sure how you feel about that fact. You pout a little, trying and failing to figure out what he could possibly be up to. Maybe he’d seen you lurking in the doorway of the gym down the hall, watching in awe as he hoisted heavy weight sets in the air as if they were feather light?
Maybe it’s payback, maybe it’s something else.
Either way, all you can do is stare. And the feeling you previously had about Pietro silently marking his territory is doubling by the second.
Your eyes catch on his knuckles and you grab hold of his hand before you can censor yourself, hissing quietly as you look at the healing damage. Your finger grazes over his knuckles and you shake your head. “If you’d stop fighting everybody that breathes.” you mumble, mostly to yourself and only half joking.
The chuckle that comes at your words is deep. His chest rumbles with it. You tilt your head to look up at him. “Did you even bother cleaning these out? Hm?”
Pietro shrugs.
“— E doar o zgârietură, prințesă.” he finally mumbles. You can feel your cheeks burn a little and you can feel ocean colored eyes as they burn into you intently. You finally manage to make yourself look up at him to find him staring at you. “C’mon.” you’re grabbing his hand, guiding him over to a long bench that lines one wall of the studio. Once you have him sitting down, you place his hand in your lap and he watches as you dig around in your gym bag for the bare bones you call a first aid kit that you usually keep on your person. You find an alcohol pad and you grab hold of his hand to pull it back into your lap and he hisses as the alcohol stings the wounds just a little, trying to wrench his hand away.
You gaze up at him patiently. Giving him another pout. “Can you just be still?”
The quiet and slow drawl of your voice has him compliant before he even fully stops to think about it and normally, he’d be a stubborn ass with most other people.
But you’re not most other people. You’re the girl he can’t seem to get off his mind lately and while it’s become something of a problem, an irritant if you will, he’s starting to realize that it’s something that’s also not going away anytime soon.
Because he’s tried fucking everything but so far, nothing’s worked.
And he knows by this point that you’re off limits, Bucky sat him down when he caught him staring at you after accompanying him to the gym earlier in the week. Before you showed up at the compound. Bucky told him in the firmest and most direct way possible that your father would never allow it.
And Pietro doesn’t want to allow it either. What he’ll be doing with the team is going to be dangerous at times. And it’s bad enough that his sister followed him straight into danger once already. The last thing he wants is you being put in harms way.
But he can’t fucking stay away. He can’t get you out of his head and it’s been this way for a while now.
He’s dangerously close to caving, just saying to hell with consequence because he just wants you so much. All to himself. In any way you’ll allow him to have you.
It’s the most he’s wanted anything in his entire life… Except for the period of time when he was hell-bent on revenge for his parents death and the destruction of his life.
You’re humming to yourself as you work the alcohol soaked pad over his knuckles and all he can do is stare at you. You can feel him watching you and when you finish, you look up. “That’ll do.” you mumble as you find yourself drowning in blue sky depths. You manage to tear your eyes off him and you turn to rifle through your bag again, this time producing just enough gauze to wrap the hand. You grab hold of his hand again and he tries to hold it away at first but you give him this little pout.
The pout and the way you tilt your head is going to be his ruin, he just knows it. Wordlessly, with a little scowl, he deposits his hand onto your lap again. Resting his palm flat against your thigh. Your breath catches in your throat for a second and when you finally breathe again, it comes out all shaky.
You wrap the gauze around his knuckles carefully and then you place his hand back into his own lap as you stand.
You’re halfway to the door of the studio when he presses against you from behind.
“— Mulțumesc, pisicuță.” he mumbles in that same velvet gravel husk. You turn to face him and this puts you body to body with him. You shrug. Raise up on your toes to give puffed up platinum hair a little fluff.
“Hm?” you mumble quietly as you stare up at him.
“I said.. Thank you, kitten.” Pietro mutters quietly. When he leans into you a little more, you gulp. You know the smart thing to do is probably to back away but for some reason, there’s a disconnect between your brain and the smart thing to do. Your stomach does a lazy flip when he calls you kitten because there’s this look of sheer hunger in his eyes that you try to convince yourself you’re imagining.
Or you’re trying to do that until he steps closer, leaving no space between your bodies in the open doorway of the dance studio. A bandaged hand raises and catches against the side of your face gingerly sending a hot flush to race through your body. “Again tomorrow?” he questions, a little smirk playing at his lips.
“Y-yeah. I’ve gotta work on my piece for the fall solo with my dance troupe.” you shrug as you say it and you want to kick yourself because somehow, the platinum blond towering over you right now has managed to make you a wet and stammering, rambling mess and he’s barely said or done anything to you in the first place.
He eyes you intently. Like he wants to say something but then just doesn’t. You bite your lip and shuffle your feet against the floor of the studio. “Can you stop fighting everybody who breathes? Please?” you ask the question quietly. With the gentlest teasing laugh. But you’re being serious.
“Perhaps.” he shrugs casually. The way muscles flex with the movement catches your eye and you swallow hard and try not to be hypnotized by the movement. “Maybe if they will stop saying disgusting things.”
“Listen.. That trainee you keep locking horns with is just a perv, alright? I busted his nose at my dad’s New Years Eve thing because he tried to cop a feel.”
For a split second, blue sky eyes cloud over and if you’d been looking down you would’ve seen the exact second his fist clenched at the side of his body. But you didn’t, luckily. And you’re completely clueless as to the fuel you’ve just added to the fire.
You step away and drag a hand through sweat dampened hair. “I’ll uh.. I’ll see you around.” you mumble quietly.
Pietro chuckles, a lopsided grin playing at his mouth. “Tomorrow.”
And you nod as you hurry out of the gym and in your haste to just… get somewhere to breathe and attempt pulling yourself together again, you nearly walk into the damned men’s shower just up the hall.
“Fuck my life.” you palm at your forehead as you hurry and make your way out of the gym and into the crowded street.

omg i wanna give you a smooch ty for taking the time to breakdown my 4 am ramble 😘 it’s so ironic you mentioned that this is how you are with the MCU because i was the anon that said these last few chapters are my Avengers Endgame 🥲 but holy shit you were right, this is more like my Infinity War because the feeling of the cliffhanger and devestation is the same. I LUV U KAMI it’s 6 am rn and i realize i left a lot of my notes out of that “mini” TFL analysis so once i’m fully awake i might go sniffin’ for more hints 🤍 i’m sure someone else has found the Sukuna detail by now with your hints so i’m excited to apply those two hints into refining more theories!!
the fan theories are so much fun to read, but way more fun to find evidence for. i have a few excerpts from diff chapters to support theories like Choso being involved with the list generation, Sukuna and Gojo “working” together, etc. even if i’m not fully onboard with some of them. i feel like you can relate to enjoying the process of going back and gathering details, so you totally know where i’m coming from with all of this lmao
i’m so excited for your blue lock fic to be uploaded!! shidou and sae are too fine for their own good i need these men so fucking BAAAAD!!! considering that i only found you once you posted on Tumblr, it would be really cool to see how your writing progressed to the point that it’s at in TFL 🤍
💋
-☃️
That…That was a MINI analysis? HELLO?😭
Anywho, yes, to me, TFL is my Infinity War & the next fic is Endgame. I think the cliffhanger was inspired by my love for marvel too & l the things in it that connect & how they branch out…
Yeah yk how one marvel movie or show will reference another? Just wait til’ I get more fics on here & trust me I’ll be cross-referencing shit like crazy😭
Anywho, the Sukuna detail was how he texted the reader first despite him giving her his number— they never exchanged numbers, he just gave her his so, how did he text first? ><
The other detail issss, actually I think someone else found it so I’ll respond to tht ask & confirm in a bit💀
Anywho, I love how you can find something to support all sorts of theories bc it really gives me a chance to see how creative I could be going forth 😉
LASTLY, my Sae & Shidou fic was my first masterpiece imo, the angst, the fluff, the smut (I’ll probably rewrite some bits), EVERYTHING. It’s a great story & was one of my favs before I made TFL my focus ^.^

Which cast do you picture in the Homeward Bound universe? Id assumed it was tom holland’s peter because harley doesn’t exist in the other spidermen’s movies but I also know you’re a Garfield-Spidey fan and that Harry Osborn and Gwen haven’t been MCU’d—just out of curiosity!!
okay hi this is the first of my current EIGHT unanswered hb asks omg. i'm !!!!! actually shaking with excitement about the fact that i'm about to get to ramble SO MUCH about hb holy shit. okay. okay.
so, obviously harley is based off ty simpkins, but i kind of?? like i mean, yes ty literally plays harley lmao, but also i picture him SLIGHTLY differently in my head. like how he looks in endgame i feel is a different vibe than how ty looks irl. i don't know if that makes any sense at all but i can't explain it, it's just like. he looks like ty but to the left. that's harley in my head. i cannot describe it any other way.
hb peter is 100% tom's peter because homeward bound is 100% canon compliant up to no way home (except for some headcanons such as peter having an uncle ben but uncle ben dying when peter was still really little in order to not fuck with the spidey home trilogy being peter's origin story - there are some other headcanons too that i can't remember off the top of my head, but i tried to make all of them align with mcu as much as possible as to not fuck with canon)
for harry and gwen it's not a spoiler for the most part except for one thing is kinda spoilery but not really? it reveals something about one of their characters that has not been established in the fic yet so just to be safe i'm gonna tag this w the spoiler tag and put it under the cut
okay so i'll start with harry
so there's a lot of variations with harry - sometimes he has brown hair, sometimes reddish hair, usually blue eyes, though i love the idea of him having green eyes because. i mean. duh.
i didn't really think of fan casts for him specifically in hb, i haven't really gone in depth with his appearance in any of the chapters, but @alwaysonlineau made the actor from love, simon, nick robinson, the icon for harry's account and now i kind of can't picture anyone else lmao. nick has hazel eyes which can look greenish at times so i'm here for it. also i loved his acting in jurassic world and in love, simon so i think he could pull off harry pretty damn well.
here's the picture of nick robinson that @alwaysonlineau used that i REALLY love because it definitely has harry energy to me:
also i love that nick was in jurassic world with ty lmao. the ages are off obviously, nick is 28 and literally played ty's older brother in that movie, but for the sake of a fan cast i think nick when he was early 20's looks very Harry Osborn to me. at least he feels very fitting for fanon harry.
if someone were to actually play harry in the mcu i don't know if he'd feel super fitting, i've seen people mention harrison osterfield for mcu harry which i could see. i also looked through a list of harry fan casts and david mazouz looks harry like to me a bit. charlie heaton was also listed which idk if he could pull harry off but looks-wise i could kind of see. asher angel. i know timothee chalamet's name has been tossed around a bunch and i mean i think he could do it but he doesn't look like harry to me lmao. they'd have to make his appearance work for it.
maybe charlie rowe, who i also saw listed as a fan cast. asa butterfield was on that list as well and i could see the mcu going that route too. but in homeward bound, i pretty much just envision nick.
as for gwen stacy!
so, i thought this before @alwaysonlineau came back, and i know i'm not the only one because i've seen quite a few posts on here and other sites saying the same thing, especially after across the spider-verse came out and gwen had the trans flag and coloring and such, but i really think that hunter schafer would be an INCREDIBLE gwen.
it hasn't been mentioned in the fic yet (mostly because i didn't think of this until i was already like halfway through the fic and then i didn't officially decide on it until across the spider-verse came out) but gwen is trans in homeward bound. it's gonna be made explicitly clear as soon as i can figure out a fitting reason for why it wouldn't have been mentioned so far - it feels as though, since the fic is peter's pov and he's never mentioned it, it should be that gwen hasn't told him so he doesn't know, which means finding out is going to have to be a thing. not like a huge thing but it's going to have to become a scene of some kind that establishes the fact that she's trans and then also addresses why she didn't tell him/any of them.
i haven't decided on how yet - it might be a super casual thing where she just never thought to mention it because it's just a part of who she is and she doesn't feel the need to tell people because she doesn't think it really matters (and also hunter schafer has stated that she passes as a cis woman i remember seeing an interview after euphoria season one where she was talking about it and how like yeah it's great to have trans inclusion and representation in euphoria but also she knows that she's white and passing and that's probably a big part of why she got the role, which basically i'm mentioning because if hunter were to play gwen then gwen would also be able to pass very easily as a cis woman as well). i might make it a bigger thing, like maybe she experienced something (some kind of transphobia) in the past that made her very wary about telling people and then by the time she wanted to tell them it had been a long time so she didn't know how, etc. etc. etc.
i'm queer but like i'm a cis lesbian not trans or nonbinary or anything, i do have multiple trans friends and i've seen a lot of posts and art and such about different lives and experiences trans people have had but i'm still cis, so if anyone who isn't cis has any input on what they'd like to see, please let me know. i don't want to approach the topic with a lack of sensitivity and i want to have trans rep in hb but if people want it to be a casual thing then that's what i'll do, if people want there to be more to her backstory then i'll do that instead.
but yeah, basically i can REALLY picture hunter as gwen, like some of her acting in euphoria i feel has some potential gwen energy to it (specific scenes, some displays of emotion that i could see gwen having, etc) but also this picture of hunter feels VERY gwen to me:
also also, obviously zendaya is rue in euphoria so her and hunter are friends and have great chemistry together and as a gwemj lover that means a lot to me pdfjg
another possibility i could see is emma meyers, aka enid from wednesday. i think she's a great acctress and could encompass gwen's energy pretty well too, but my first pick would be hunter!
long answer short:
in homeward bound, i picture harry to look like nick robinson and i picture gwen to look like hunter schafer.

You heave a sigh and lower your phone. The back of your head thunks against the tree trunk you’re sitting against. Ranboo makes another weird alien noise somewhere in his chest. You feel so, SO bad about lying to Tubbo about this, but what else can you do?
Your name is Tommy Innit, and you just watched yourself die.
Wack.

Paws to Consider
When Tony accompanies his new friend (and sort-of-maybe crush) Steve on a dogsitting gig - things get complicated.
Fandom: MCU/Marvel
Pairing: Tony Stark & Steve Rogers, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes (potential Steve/Bucky/Tony)
Tags: No Powers AU, Supernatural AU, Werewolves, Mutual Pining, Tony POV
This is a fill for my @buckybarnesbingo Y3 - "Run" and @manwithaplanbingo I5 - Dogsitting squares - as well as the following October writing challenges for Day 12:
@fictober-event 12. "You're making my head hurt."
@whumptober #12 - “Mayday, mayday!”
@flufftober 12. - “You kept this?”
“Mayday! Mayday!” Tony squawked; he had scrambled up on the counter and was seriously considering climbing on top of the refrigerator. After all, the last thing he’d expected when tagging along with his new friend (and sort-of-maybe crush) on a dogsitting gig was to suddenly be face to face with an honest-to-goodness wolf.
And that ‘face to face’ wasn’t just metaphorical. The beast was rearing up on its hind legs and placing its gigantic paws on Steve’s shoulders, clearly preparing to bite his face off. Tony threw the first thing that came to hand -- a box of cereal -- as hard as he could at the animal as he shouted “Run, Steve! Run!”
“Tony, you need to calm down,” Steve said in a quiet, even voice, casually putting one hand over the animal’s muzzle. “High pitched sounds can trigger Bucky’s prey drive, at which point running is a Very Bad Idea.” He pushed the wolf away. “And besides, you’re making my head hurt.”
“That slavering beast answers to Bucky?” Tony’s voice cracked on the final word; the wolf swung its massive head up and around to eye Tony with interest. Tony clapped his hands over his mouth to hold in any further prey-like sounds.
“He’s not a slavering beast!” Steve shot back, then added, “Well, at least not during the majority of the month.”
The wolf made an odd whine-snarl sound, and a pained expression crossed Steve’s face, as if he’d said something he hadn’t meant to. “I’m sorry, Buck, it just slipped out!” Tony blinked; was Steve actually apologizing to it?
The wolf snorted and turned his back on Steve. With a dismissive flick of an extremely fluffy tail, he padded over to his bowl of water and lapped at it, as if to ignore the fact that anyone else was in the room.
“Hold on. Are you trying to tell me that’s a werewolf?” Tony gestured wildly, even as he deliberately pitched his voice as deep as he could. After all, he didn’t want to antagonize whatever the creature was any further.
Steve heaved a sigh. “He’s not a ‘that’, he’s a ‘he’. In fact, you might have seen him at Natasha’s party last weekend.”
“Uh, pretty sure I would have remembered a gigantic apex predator prowling around her apartment,” Tony scoffed, before the import of Steve’s words sunk in. “Holy shit -- are you actually serious? He’s really just some guy who just happens to change into a wolf during the full moon?”
Steve nodded, “As crazy as it sounds, yeah. And we really need you to keep this secret, Tony.”
“Yeah, sure, of course.” Tony might not quite understand what was going on, but his heart warmed at the thought of earning Steve’s trust. “I mean, who would believe me, anyways?”
“You might be surprised,” Steve replied darkly. “Now, how about you get down from there and actually say hello?” He held out a hand; Tony’s pulse quickened at the warmth and strength of his grip as Steve helped him back to the floor.
Steve whistled to get the werewolf’s attention; he turned around with his ears pricked up. “Bucky, this is Tony Stark. Tony, this is James Barnes, but he goes by Bucky.”
“Uh, hi there,” Tony said awkwardly. “Sorry about all that -- I wasn’t expecting to meet something... er... someone like you.” Not quite knowing what else to do, he held a hand out, making sure to avoid direct eye contact. Bucky came over and sniffed his hand, then - to Tony’s surprise - wagged his tail vigorously.
Tony stared down to see storm blue looking up at him; eyes that he’d last seen on the other side of Natasha’s spacious apartment, smiling at him. He’d been an unbelievably attractive man, with shaggy brown hair and a jawline covered with just enough scruff to leave a delicious beard burn.
Tony remembered putting down the straws he’d been fidgeting with and starting to make his way across the room to introduce himself when his least favorite person -- Justin Hammer-- waylaid him. By the time Tony was able to extricate himself from Justin’s annoying presence, the handsome stranger was gone.
“I really did see you at Nat’s party, didn’t I?” Tony murmured. Bucky nodded, then with a quiet woof, took Tony’s hand between his teeth and gently tugged. “Uh, Steve?”
“I think he wants to show you something,” Steve replied with a soft smile. So Tony followed Bucky into a bedroom where the bedding had been bunched up to form a nest. Bucky let go of Tony’s hand to nose among the blankets. A moment later, he grasped something between his teeth and held it out.
It was the little straw-thing Tony had assembled at the party; a half-dozen of them bent and woven together into a three-dimensional polyhedron. “You kept this?” Tony asked, unable to keep the wonder from his voice. Bucky nodded again, and shyly licked Tony’s hand.
“When Bucky described this gorgeous guy he’d seen at Natasha’s party,” Steve commented from the doorway. “I figured he was talking about you. By the time I scraped together the courage to ask you to come over, Bucky had already shifted for the month and well...” he rubbed the back of his neck.
“You made up a story about dogsitting to explain him,” Tony finished. “But what do you mean about ‘scraping together courage’?”
Steve’s cheeks pinked. “I like you, Tony. I like you a lot. And I know Bucky will too, once he gets to know you. The thing is, him and me, well, we’re kind of a package deal.”
“Okay... assuming that Bucky isn’t a total asshole, I fail to see the downside here,” Tony blurted out, his impulsive streak getting the better of him, as usual.
“Well, he can be a real jerk at times,” Steve replied, laughing as Bucky took a playful nip at his leg, “but he’s a really good guy. A science nerd like you, with a great sense of humor. And pretty sentimental, too.” Bucky ducked his head, as if in embarrassment.
“So I see,” Tony turned the straw-sculpture over in his hands, finally pausing to consider all the implications. “You know this is a lot to try to absorb at once.”
“Yeah, I get that,” Steve sighed. “I hope we can at least still be friends?”
Tony reached over and pulled Steve close, scritching behind Bucky’s ear with his free hand. “Oh, I think we can manage a little more than that.”

MCU Rewatch - The Incredible Hulk
There are many people who are begging for a proper go at the origin story for the Hulk. The Incredible Hulk shows how Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist, got wrapped up in his own hubris (and the U.S. military), had a horrible accident, went on the run (from the U.S. military), and finally ended up in Brazil where he got a job and anger management training. All in all, a pretty good introduction for the Hulk on paper. On the screen? This all happens within about 45 seconds.
So you watch this intro and then see Banner sipping a drink and taking a deep breath, and it just feels like the movie is staring you right in the eyes, whispering, Fin.
WHAT THE FUCK.
What the fuck else am I supposed to watch now? You just told me all of the interesting bits, minus the interesting part. I felt like Mason in Black Ops, just getting flashed with images that I just know mean something, are part of something I heard about long ago, but I just can’t tell what it all means.
So this movie begins with visual torture and is immediately followed up by about a hundred questions that are way more interesting than anything that’s actually part of the plot.
What was the incident that happened 158 days earlier? The lab, or something closer to Banner’s current location?
Who the hell is his trainer? Does he know he’s the Hulk? Did he find him after an incident?
Matter of fact, how long has it been since he ran away?
Who is that gorgeous chick??
Literally none of these questions are answered. There are different implied timelines for the initial incident, with both 5 months and 3 years thrown around. My guess is that his initial incident happened 3 years ago and 5 months earlier was whatever happened that got him in Brazil. It’s honestly not even worth Googling.
After you’ve been pumped through the first, and most engaging, half hour of the movie, suffering from story whiplash and generally confused as to where the movie thinks it's going…
…you’ll finally arrive at the point where the movie begins to beat you over the head with the fact that Bruce Banner is Hulk.
Yay.
Where Iron Man was perfectly orchestrated to amplify everything about him through small details that really fit his personality and his world, The Incredible Hulk manages to mirror Banner’s slapped-in existence in some random ghetto.
I mean, how many Hulk-green pieces of cloth are actually hanging in the world? Because I think at least half of them are in this specific Brazilian slum. I mean, even the fucking soda being bottled is god damn gamma green. I bet the producers were like, “Oh yeah, that looks sick with the blood in it; just like how Hulk happened probably!”
And honestly, the rest of the movie is BORING. Holy shit, this is a clear example of what superhero movies were before Iron Man. Both movies were in production at the same time, as they released within months of each other, so it seems pretty clear that the whole Marvel team weren’t sure how this whole, “just make it like the comic book” thing was gonna work out with Iron Man.
Probably shouldn’t have countered with one of the least relatable characters in Marvel who’d also just had a horrific flop of a movie less than ten years earlier, huh?
I mean, obviously some people are going to enjoy the rest of this movie. I’ve mentioned before that I’m actually not a huge fan of action movies. They’re boring. I see why people watch them; it’s the same reason I still love isekai anime; but they’re all the same:
“Omg, some military guy is doing something horrible and one guy is simultaneously wrapped up in it and the target of this military guy, and since this is an action flick, literally no one on the planet — no law enforcement, no governments, no other high-ranking military guy — can stop them except for this unassuming guy who, again, helped (or at least failed to stop) the military guy be evil in the first place.”
The Incredible Hulk does all of this and then has the added bonus of trying to redeem the military guy who almost kidnapped a man and threw him in a hole because he refused to commit crimes against humanity.
Yep, they find an even eviler guy who wants raw power to combat Hulk and lead a new age of super-soldier slaves that definitely would never be approved by anyone and would definitely violate the Geneva convention.
Also, can we talk about the “raw power” trope. Who the fuck wants raw anything?! Even fucking raw dogging ends up with a disease or a kid half the time, so what the fuck is with this “raw power” shit? Does anyone actually think that if they were the strongest person on the planet, but looked like a horrifying monster, that they would be able to do anything significant besides get killed? What’s the end goal there? You become all-powerful, a horrifying monster, win everything and then…go to Disney? Guess what fuckwit, you’re too big to even get through the gates. Have fun with sex too; you weigh like 3 tons now, so hopefully they make car sized fleshlights. Oh, and don’t even ask how much you have drink and smoke just to get a quick hit of vertigo.
This is the kind of shit that completely takes me out of action movies, but not out of superhero movies (because they often answer these kinds of questions, or at least don’t ignore them! We’ll talk about this more when Thanos shows up). And it’s this kind of shit that makes The Incredible Hulk incredibly bad.
On top of all of this. On top of all of the in-your-face symbolism, the dual villains who have completely lost touch with reality and how the world works, the lack of ingenuity and originality, and the missing origins for this origin story.
This movie was horribly cast.
Liv Tyler, William Hurt, Edward Norton, Lou fucking Ferrigno — it’s tough to see how this cast could fail, but they managed it.
Honestly, their acting wasn’t bad, it just totally didn’t fit…with anything! There was no chemistry between any characters, good or bad. The most human interaction we see is when he’s quietly working in the bottling factory. Even as he’s being interrogated and threatened, Norton doesn’t look anything but confident that he’s going to have lunch with Hurt later.
Overall, this movie was plagued by fear. Fear that people didn’t want another Hulk movie, fear that Iron Man would be a total misfire, fear that without big names behind the film nobody would be willing to watch it, fear that the origin story of the Hulk had been overdone.
In truth, Hulk’s story was essentially perfected in the minds of millions with the TV show from the 70’s. Even though many of us are not fans, when this movie came out that’s all anyone was talking about (we had societally agreed not to discuss Hulk); it’s part of the reason they got Lou Ferrigno again, to garner trust with the fans. But, it’s tough to beat perceived perfection, as we will all probably find out when they start trying to remake these movies in a few decades. Tbf though, they could have tried a little harder.
In addition to this, the unreasonably-angry-and-overbearing-military-guy trope is on its way out. It’s just totally unrealistic and annoying to have so much power being put behind such blatant disregard for diplomacy, money, and the most basic sense of humanity, plus of course they always have to throw in a woman to be verbally/physically abused by this character archetype and that’s just not fun to watch (it never was).
While I now agree that Hulk has been done dirty by the MCU as far as origins go, there’s no way to go back now. A new origin movie would flop almost as much as the Black Widow movie and have about as much substance. We can always hope for a redemptive movie for Hulk; there are only about a hundred reasons why the Hulk should not have a standalone movie at all.
My verdict: 2/10
If you want to stay true to the MCU and/or if you have someone in your life who isn’t into superhero movies but likes action films, watch The Incredible Hulk as part of an MCU rewatch. If you aren’t doing a full rewatch, just watch the first 2 minutes and you’ll have a better experience.

Next week is Iron Man 2. We do see him at the end of The Incredible Hulk, where he mentions “putting together a team”, apparently inviting this military guy? But not really, because why the fuck would he even be in cahoots with a big weapons enthusiast?? Also, spoiler alert: this general is not in the Avengers.
.
.
.
Anyways, I truly remember nothing about Iron Man 2 so…
I’m sure it’s fine.

hi mak!! ✨️🦋💭💛 for the ask game <33
hi a!!! thanks for the ask, dear <3
(from this list)
✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?
a few of them are actually yours, a, but one of my favorites in particular that i like to reread on bad days is from i slithered here from eden (just to sit outside your door)
I needed several breaks reading this. It left me breathless more than once, gorgeously written as it is.
just like. the idea of my words/thoughts/ideas/etc having that much of an effect on a reader (especially when said reader is also an author i really admire <3) made me very happy and proud of myself
another comment from someone else on that same fic included:
Damn, this really might be one of the best fics I’ve read.
and
And it’s leaving me wistful for a love like theirs.
which like, what an HONOR to have both of those sentences written to me. i almost cried when i read that first line
another one of my personal favorites from la vie en rose:
Sooooo after reading this for like the 100th time, I finally decided to log in for the first time in forever and leave my first comment on AO3 (gonna change that from now on!), to let you know that, holy shit! I'm obsessed.
bc someone liking a fic i wrote enough to change their commenting habits and leave their first comment ever????? i was over the MOON when i got this email
🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?
oh, sam, so easily. there’s SO much there to explore and anthony mackie plays him in such a way that we know those emotions and feelings and memories are under the surface and so subtly expressed, and getting to deep dive into all the things sam as a character keeps hidden is one of my favorite things to do
i also really like writing clint as a side character, though, bc i’ve made it my mission to usually make him as much as a goofy disaster as possible to make up for what mcu clint has been in most of his pre-hawkeye appearances
💭 What inspires you and your writing?
other people and stories! i take a lot of inspo from other writers i admire and adore, and i’m constantly getting ideas from various friends on tumblr and discord. i feel like every time i watch/read a piece of media i’ve got some kind of fodder for an au, and so much of my writing stems from those places
💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?
i’m my own harshest critic. just because i think something could be better or i should’ve/could’ve/would’ve done something else in my fic to make it the absolutely unattainable idea of perfection i’ve built up in my head doesn’t mean my fic isn’t worth sharing or posting, because chances are someone is going to really like it, if not love it. the angel au is the biggest example of this, but honestly the princess diaries 2 au is also pretty high up there. i got so close to not publishing either of them bc i was so in my own head about their flaws rather than their pros, and now that i have, both of them have received so much love that i’m so grateful for, to the point it’s starting to change/has changed my mind about them.
basically the act of creation is enough in itself, and someone is going to find merit in the things you’ve created, even if you’re so far into it that you can’t.

MAWS liveblog: part 2 (1x03-1x04)
Episode 3
i love him so much it's unhealthy
==
OH THERE'S AN OPENING SEQUENCE NOW
==
tiddies
==
whipped
==
the humour in this episode is just Not Working for me, idk
==
why is lois mimicking cat's personality when the warden is much more likely to realise they're not the same person via, y'know, the photo on her badge??
==
now that was a quintessential clois moment
==
this poor man
==
clark's voice as superman is way too similar to his regular voice tbh, his tone when he was pretending to be interviewed by lois is way closer to what i'd expect
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
[agrees to give an interview]
[can't answer a single question]
[flies away]
nailed it
==
i love him
==
i mean, you're not wrong
==
Episode 4
that's my future pulitizer prize winner! 😭
==
OH HELL YEAH CLARK IS A CRYPTID!!!!!!
==
bums me out that i can't get into this series' version of clois, but they're just so mushy (and, don't get me wrong, i love mushy established clois, but they've just met!! lois should be a mean hbic and clark should be- well, he should be a whipped blushing mess, which is exactly what he is here. guess the problem is just lois :/ i could blame it on the decision to make them both interns, but smallville!lois is a teenager and still manages to be perfect)
==
and the thing is!! the rest of her characterisation is so good!! she's a career-driven law-breaking menace and i love her!!! literally the only thing that bothers me is how they've made her immediately into clark - which i guess makes sense, if she mostly ignored him then the entire premise of the cartoon doesn't really work*, but it still leaves me with a version of early!clois stripped from basically everything that makes their dynamic interesting (To Me)
*= there's plenty of ways to make them work together while having lois' feelings towards clark be equal part disinterest and fuming one-sided beef (i'd know! i've read the fics!), but i guess it wouldn't fit the quirky fun protagonist trio this series is aiming for, which is ok! it's a cartoon for kids! i'm the weird one here!
==
man i miss the world cup
==
oh my god he's so precious
==
.............................that's a voltron character
==
why does this dr ivo guy feel like a mcu!tony stark parody (disclaimer: i don't think i've heard of him before and i don't wanna google if he's a comics character to avoid possible spoilers)
==
OH MY GOD HIS NAME IS EVEN ANTHONY
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
dont know why the screen suddenly looks like i need to clean my glasses but [insert 'í love arm' tweet]
==
WHY IS THE SCREEN SO BLURRY (is this bc i'm pirating??)
==
oh my god
==
ok, if he's not a comic character then he was definitely based on tony (stark, i mean. as this guy is also named tony.)
==
ok, did anyone involved in this series also work on voltron, serious question
==
i'm in love with her
==
1. i think i'm gonna enjoy them a lot more once they're actually dating bc this was very domestic!clois and, to quote clark, :3
2. holy fuck his head is so much larger than hers
==
he's so lucky no one follows him on that thing bc he's literally uploading footage he was paid to take by someone else, once perry finds out he's toast
==
???? he was playing cupid two episodes ago
==
OH SHIT I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT SEE THAT COMING 10/10 PLOT TWIST
==
i usually enjoy the identity porn going on for way longer, but i wasn't happy with how they were handling it, so maybe this will shake up things into something that i like more 👀
#if i ignore work due to it being Too Hot To Function i can maybe watch two of these today 👀#edit (next day): i didn't but i'm putting them in the same post anyway lol#f: dc#g: dc animations#s: maws#mari liveblogs

Holy Fuck!
Lisa and i just woke up from a 16 hour “nap”...
all because of... well technically the youtube algorithm...
...let me explain
Saturday evening we were sitting on the couch just browsing through youtube on our phones because there was nothing to watch (sure we have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Crunchyroll, WWE Network and a dvd collection bigger than our steam library but still) and immediately on of the first recommended videos was a livestream from Elira Pendora...
a watchalong of the Lord of the Rings trilogy...
and the livestream had just started 10 minutes ago... so we thought ‘hey why not?’ and put on the stream and the movies.
(if you’re wondering why i’m blaming the algorithm. that’s because we originally just wanted to find something to watch until Clash at the Castle started but then we saw Eliras stream and, while I’m subscribed to Elira, if that stream hadn’t been on the starting page we probably wouldn’t have seen it immediately and only would have watched the VOD whenever we had our next LotR marathon)
now we actually do these movie marathons quite regularly. for example we watch all 8 Harry Potter movies every christmas. but usualy we do these with some preparation...
normally a typical marathon for us looks like this:
-we take a few days off at work (or schedule them for weekends with holidays)
-after we wake up we eat breakfast and immediately start the first movie
-we take 15 Minute breaks between movies
-we go to bed immediately after the last movie
-we take a couple days to get our sleep schedule back to normal
this time we did precisely none of that because:
A)we had already been awake since 8 in the morning on saturday.
B)the stream started at 8 in the evening for us
C) Lisas mothers birthday was on sunday so we had to stay awake even after the watchalong.
and D) we both have work again today.
so we were awake for 32 hours assuming i did the math right (wouldn’t have been a problem 10 years ago but we’re both 28 now and... well we just can’t do that anymore) and by the end of it we felt like shit. but honestly it was a lot of fun...
we can basically already dub these movies ourselves from memory because we’ve seen them so often but this watchalong brought something new into the mix. it started with Elira, Rosemi, Fulgur, Sonny and Shu but Vox, Pomu, Luca and Yugo all made appearances along the way and while some of them (i believe only Vox and Fulgur) had seen the movies already, hearing the others experience them for the first time was really cool and we will probably put the VOD on whenever we do another marathon in the Future. also i kinda hope someone does a Harry Potter or Star Wars watchalong sometime because those are the three movie series we do marathons of the most. (Or a MCU watchalong so we can finally catch up with that. The last MCU movie we watched was age of ultron)
anyway i need to get to work in 30 minutes so i’ll stop now but now that i have posted this i will do something in the next few days and weeks that i wanted to do for a while now: talk about Vtubers... because there is a lot i have to say about them and i was kinda discouraged because whenever i look around Tumblr i just see a lot of fanart but nearly nothing else and since i don’t do fanart i was kinda afraid to post anything but now i made one post so...
...why not make a few more right?
