Hunting Roses - Chapter 1
Tumblr media
AN: This is a yandere Helmut Zemo fic which means it will have dark elements as the story progresses. I do not condone relationships like this in real life. This fic takes place after Avengers: Age of Ultron and there are descriptions of canon typical violence. I'm not sure where this fic is going to go but I hope you enjoy the ride!
Helmut Zemo was not an ignorant man nor was he a greedy one.  From a young age, he knew that he had been born into wealth and as he grew older, he began to experience the obligations and expectations of being born into wealth.
In time, once he had completed his work in the Sokovian armed forces and as an EXO commander, one of these expectations was becoming Heike’s husband.  That led to his pride and joy, Carl Zemo being born.  Helmut and Heike both adored their son but as time grew, they realised that they had become different people.
While Helmut still cared about Heike a great deal, he knew that his feelings for her weren’t what they once were.  They agreed to stay together for Carl and to stop society’s tongues wagging.
Hearing whispers of an approaching battle and fearing for his family’s safety, Helmut moved them all to the country thinking that they’d be safe from harm.  A blast from one of the robotic sentries sent Helmut flying into one of the cottage’s walls and when he awoke, he found that the cottage had been reduced to nothing more than rubble around him.
Injured and weak, he staggered around the ruins of the cottage searching for any indication that his family had survived.  After two days of searching, he felt his strength leave him and he collapsed next to what was once the doorway.
A day later, Helmut awoke to see a face peering down at him.   His strength returned the instant that he learnt that his family had been rescued by SHIELD and taken to America.  Wasting no time, Helmut contacted Oeznik and they flew out of Sokovia that day.
For the first time in days (and under the watchful eye of Oeznik), Helmut ate and rested.  Once he felt he had sufficiently recovered, Helmut pushed himself to find out Sokovia’s fate.  He learnt that the battle had been started by an AI that Tony Stark had created, named Ultron. 
Helmut tempered his rage as he continued to study the battle, promising himself that Tony would pay for what he’d done.  Helmut watched the battle play out in the city, sneering at the Avengers’ efforts to save the people.
His curiosity peaked when an Avenger crouched before launching herself into the air and grabbing onto one of the sentry’s legs as it flew. The sentry tried to throw off its unwanted passenger but it was only successful in doing so after it had been badly damaged in mid-air. It crashed to the ground and the Avenger repeated the process three times before disappearing.
“How strange.” Helmut thought lacing his fingers together as Oeznik walked over to him with a tray of food.
Helmut rewound and paused the video just before the unknown Avenger disappeared, “Who is this Avenger Oeznik?”
Oeznik set the tray of food down gently, “This Avenger is known as Phantasm.  Reports state that there is more to her than meets the eye.  She also has a tendency to appear when needed.”
Helmut listened patiently knowing Oeznik wasn’t finished, “Many of the public only know her by her code name however if one is determined to dig deep enough, they would find that Phantasm’s real name is (Name) (Surname).  She appears to be close friends with Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton and if the rumours are to be believed, she was the one who saved your family.”
Helmut nodded and Oeznik returned to the cockpit.
It was too easy to land unnoticed in America.  Helmut’s diplomatic immunity ensured that and it was even easier to track down his family.  Helmut didn’t miss the unfamiliar distrustful look in Heike’s eyes as he inquired about SHIELD and Phantasm.  Sensing that any further questioning would cause Heike’s sudden distrust in him to grow, Helmut bid his family goodbye and as Helmut walked to the door with Heike and his father, Heike handed him a thick, yellow envelope.
“We can start again Helmut and choose who we want to be.” She said.
Helmut met his father’s stern gaze and watched as his father nodded once.
Pivoting on his heel, Helmut left the house and climbed into the car that Oeznik had brought him in.  His rage grew but then it gave way to his cunning as his brain reminded him that he was in the same place that the Avengers were in and he could have his revenge on Tony Stark.
Helmut shifted in his seat.  If he moved against Tony now, he ran the risk of you getting caught up in his plan.  Unless he broke apart the Avengers from the inside and ensured that you were protected as the Avengers imploded.
And with what they had done over the past few years, it would be too easy to sway the public into viewing the Avengers as threats.
“Old friend,” Oeznik’s familiar voice pulled Helmut from his planning, “There are reports of Wanda Maximoff damaging a building with her powers and killing several humanitarian officials from the state of Wakanda.”
Helmut crossed his ankles and leant forward as his mind whirred.  He pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at it contemplatively, “Oeznik, I need you to arrange a car for me.  There’s someone I need to track down after Thaddeus Ross has repaid the debt he owes me.”

I've been totally fixated on the fact that gwen stays with hobie when she's not on spider-team missions so here's some fun notes
gwen says that hobie lets her crash in his universe- not "house" or "place" or "apartment", because hobie is homeless
she wears his chucks (how is she fitting into his shoes?) which is funny because hobie's original spider-punk costume included him wearing chucks, but in the movie he only wears boots
in the comics, the gwen stacy of earth-138 was, in hobie's words, "the greatest artist of [their] generation" who died a punk-rock legend, and hobie was/is a big fan of hers. gwen thinks his universe is cool and thinks it's extra cool that she's famous there, so his universe is probably something of a comfort place for her
gwen is apparently in his band (possibly his friend group which he calls the spider-band despite the fact that they're not actually a band and the others are not spideys), though gwen once rejected hobie's proposal of making an album together because his singing voice is awful (still, this was after they saved the world by playing punk rock together)
also, it's interesting to read "coming out as a superhero" as a queer allegory and it works in this situation as it parallels queer kids being kicked out of their homophobic homes and staying with friends in the aftermath
anyways. support the gwen and hobie besties agenda <3

I just realized why Rocket gets so pissed at Drax for nearly getting them all killed for revenge in volume 1
He blames himself for not taking Floor and Teefs and just running after Lylla got shot.
"That's no excuse to get everyone else dead along the way" he says, recalling that when he took revenge for one friend it led to two more dying.

The Marvels was another level of comedy. The "He's bilingual" line took me out like a fucking train.

GOTG 3 SPOILERS
Can’t stop thinking about this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Floor and Teefs were begging Rocket to leave. But, he was too distraught and consumed by grief over Lylla to listen. Floor and Teefs died because of that. And that’s something Rocket has blamed himself over for a very long time.

I haven’t seen people talk about this yet but just like fucking kudos to the marketing team of this movie because with the way everything was edited and marketed we all believed The Spot to just be some silly little guy. None of us, like Miles, was taking him seriously and that was ultimately the way he gained power.

M’Baku in Wakanda Forever is proof that you can give a Marvel character funny moments while also giving them emotional depth without taking away from the heart of the movie (and actually adding to it)

Competition for a heart

Chapter 1
Hades scowled at Aphrodite from where he was sitting, “I respect your thoughts and compassion, Goddess of Love but your idea is pure folly.  The Avengers have been through enough and it is not our place to overcomplicate their lives.”
Aphrodite dismissed Hades’ words with an elegant wave of her hand, “Competitions have been used in the past to great effect.  Some of the Avengers are our champions.  Why then should our champions not compete and show their strength to win the hand of (Name)?  After all, I am submitting the name of my champion to this contest, Sam Wilson.”
“Because they are people with their own lives,” Athena stressed, “I agree with Lord Hades.”
Ares snorted from his throne as he picked some dirt from underneath his nails with one of his knives, “You’re just saying that because you don’t want to submit any of your champions.  A wise move, sister.”
Athena gripped the arm rests of her throne, “It would not be fair of me to subject Otto Octavius to this competition as he is still grieving the loss of his wife, Rosie.  Peter Parker is too young to be considered as a romantic partner for (Name) and he has his eye on someone else.  So you see, brother, I am being wise, thoughtful and considerate.  Qualities which you lack.”
“Our sister’s reasons make sense,” Hephaestus rumbled, “I too will not be submitting the names of my champions.  Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and (Name) are close friends but that’s as far as their feelings for each other will ever go.  Not to mention that Tony is married and I have no intention of disrupting a marriage.”
Apollo was lounging comfortably on his throne but at Hephaestus’ words, he threw his head back and groaned, “You two are such buzzkills.  I for one would like to see where this competition of Aphrodite’s leads.  I’m submitting my champion to this competition, John Walker.”
Hermes winced, “Brother, your champion will not stand a chance.  You would have been better off submitting Clint Barton as your champion even though he too is married.  I will submit my champion, Scott Lang to this competition.”
“You’re submitting the name of a joke of a hero who is only good as a thief to the competition as your champion,” Ares guffawed, “good luck with that.”
Hestia sent her nephew a warning glare which caused him to stop laughing immediately and curl into his throne, “Pay no mind to him Hermes.” She said kindly, “Ares is simply jealous as I chose Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes to be my champions and he was interested in them.  It’s nice to see two Olympians submitting a champion with integrity and honour.  Though I regret that it will truly be a challenge as I am submitting both of my champion's names to this contest.”
Dionysus examined the floor of the room with an air of boredom, “In this, I agree with the Lord of the Underworld.  Our champions have endured a lot of the past few years and should we push our champions into this contest, we will lose their respect.  In my case, I would also lose the tentative alliance that I have made with the Egyptian Gods since Bast and I chose the same champion.  I will not be submitting the name of my champion, T’Challa to this contest and don’t think that I didn’t notice that you only brought this idea to our attention when Zeus and Hera were conspicuously absent, Aphrodite.”
There was a flash of heat and flame in the middle of the room and everyone present, except for Hades recoiled.  Slowly, the flames and the heat died down to reveal Thanatos.
“Why have you come here?” Poseidon demanded, gripping his trident tightly.
“I apologise for the abrupt intrusion,” Thanatos replied, “it has simply been so long since my sisters and I have submitted the name of one of our champions for a contest.”
“You can’t!” Apollo gasped, “It’s not fair!  How did you find out about the contest anyway?”
Thanatos raised an eyebrow, “Oh?  Can’t we?  It was my understanding that an immortal could submit the name or names as the case may be of their champion.  Last I checked, I am an immortal.  My sisters are immortals and we share the same champion.”  Nobody commented on the fact that Thanatos had not answered Apollo’s question.
Hades sat up straighter as the silence in the room became deafening.  He couldn’t have planned this better himself.  He caught Artemis’ eye and knew that she was interested in the name of Thanatos and the Keres’ champion as well.  It was rare for the Lord of the Dead and his sisters to agree on a worthy champion, let alone choose the same champion.
Hades wondered if Artemis would warn her champion, Natasha Romanoff about what was happening so that she could keep an eye out especially seeing as from what he knew, you and Natasha were good friends.  Hades also made a mental note to speak to Hecate about the competition as she didn’t come up to Olympus if she could avoid it and this competition would definitely affect her champion, Wanda Maximoff, as well.
Thanatos laced his fingers together in front of himself as he waited.  The atmosphere in the room showed no signs of changing and Thanatos let out an impatient huff, “Seeing as there are no more objections regarding my eligibility nor that of my sisters when it comes to submitting the name of our champion to this contest, I therefore submit the name of our champion, John Wick.”
Hades looked around the throne room.  He took in the furious looks on Apollo and Ares’ faces, the contemplative ones on Hestia, Athena, and Hephaestus’ faces and the gleeful one on Aphrodite’s face.  Hades would deny it later but in that moment, he was worried for your safety especially since you weren’t the champion of a Greek God. Although he didn’t agree with Aphrodite’s competition, Hades knew he needed to act now.
“I too will back John Wick as a champion in this contest,” Hades declared.

One thing that I have only seen a couple of people point out-- Miguel is straight up WRONG about Pavitr's dimension. What is happening in Pavitr's dimension is NOT the same as what happened to the universe where Miguel replaced his variant--- it's what the ORIGINAL Peter Parker from Miles's universe said would happen.
A BLACK HOLE Opened up under Mumbattan. Chris Pine's version of Peter Parker says that during his fight with Green Goblin and Kingpin and Prowler. He warns them that if they use the collider it could open up a black hole underneath Brooklyn. THAT is what's happening to Pavitr. But Miguel is, like most of the audience for most of the movie, underestimating the Spot. He's too focused on Miles. He and the other Spideys aren't paying attention to the Spot and the damage he's doing. EVEN AS HE IS DOING IT. Spot is a massive threat and they're STILL underestimating him. It's a big thing and it's crazy to think about it.

“I didn’t give you much room to be a person” what if I screamed for ever and ever about this line? Like, Ms Marvel the series went into a lot of detail about how cute and wholesome and inspiring having a hero can be, and I loved it. But The Marvels, far from being a “never meet your heroes, they’ll let you down” type story, instead went with this. “I didn’t give you much room to be a person.” Something about putting celebrities on pedestals so high any fall would be disastrous and holding them to a standard no human can possibly hope to achieve. And something about Carol actually trying so hard to be that for her, this girl who hero worships her, but she can’t, of course she can’t maintain that forever, she’s a person, a real messy human person. And Kamala recognising that. Recognising her. The woman beneath the super hero mantle. The person beneath the persona. Like, wow. That was amazing and that line and moment was amazing
