Finch's Rambles, MSB edition

A few months ago, one of my mutuals suggested that Walkerville Magic School Bus is not located in any one place, but changes location periodically. Rather like Howl's Moving Castle. That being said, here is where I think Howl's Moving City happened to be for each MSB episode.

(If it's marked as n/a, there either wasn't enough information to decide where the city was at the time or it wasn't important.)

Gets Lost in Space: n/a

For Lunch: n/a

Inside Ralphie: n/a

Gets Eaten: California

Hops Home: Eastern US

Meets the Rot Squad: Southeastern US

All Dried Up: California (at the school); Arizona (in the desert)

In the Haunted House: n/a

Gets Ready, Set, Dough: n/a

Plays Ball: n/a

Butterfly and the Bog Beast: Louisiana

Wet All Over: Midwest

In a Pickle: n/a

Revving Up: Colorado or Idaho

Taking Flight: n/a

Getting Energized: California (specifically, the Sierra Nevadas)

Out of this World: Great Plains (in D.A.'s dream, the asteroid is headed straight for the middle of the US.)

Cold Feet: Florida

Ups and Downs: Minnesota

In a Beehive: New England

In the Arctic: NORTHERN Minnesota

Spins a Web: Southeastern US (Florida, Louisiana, eastern Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina). While orb spiders and trapdoor spiders can be found all over the US, Deinopis spiders are only found in the aforementioned states in the US part of their range.

Under Construction: n/a

Gets a Bright Idea: n/a

Shows and Tells: n/a (but New England would be a good bet.)

Makes a Rainbow: n/a

Goes Upstream: Oregon or Washington State, assuming the salmon are Pacific salmon. If they're Atlantic salmon, then this episode takes place off the New England coast.

Works Out: n/a

Gets Planted: n/a

In the Rainforest: n/a

Rocks and Rolls: Colorado

Holiday Special: Northern Minnesota or New England

Meets Molly Cule: n/a

Cracks a Yolk: Definitely not Rhode Island.

Goes to Mussel Beach: Southern California

Ogre faced spiders (Deinopis) are spiders that use their silk to make small nets, which then then throw upon their prey. Unlike most spiders, they have good eyesight, especially at night. Every night they generate a layer of light sensitive cells in their eyes to help them see, but then every day the cells are supposedly burned up, thus making a cycle of rebuilding their eyes.

How is this increasingly hilarious

#Idk why but each statement is almost funnier than the last XD #provider of ramblings #whomst

How abooout a Black Widow x reader? :oo So basically the reader is in the army and one day she suprises Nat in the avengers hq, and everyone’s like ”who tf is this??” And she’s like, ”suprise assholes - I have a girlfriend!” Clint’s not suprised. Nat’s like ”what are you doing here??” And reader’s like ”I just served my last day!!” Reader has some form of abilities, water (+ blood) and fire bending maybe?? And she joins the Avengers. Also reader bonds with Sam, Steve & bucky 4 obvious reason

pairing: natasha romanoff x female!readerfandom: mcuwarnings: /genre: fluff

summary: only because your military career is over, doesn’t mean that your fight is. this time, however, your girlfriend will be by your side every step of the way.

a/n: here you go, darling! (AAAH I’M SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO POST AGAIN FML) (added natasha to my fandoms page!)

Youstood in front of the Avengers HQ, craning your neck to see the topof the building, before chuckling to yourself.

“Fancy,”you murmured, before someone came to pick you up and walk you to thefront door of the building. At first they didn’t even want to letyou in. When you had told them who you were, they had just laughed.

Asif Natasha Romanoff, famous Black Widow, had a girlfriend, right? Joke’s on them. Anyways,when you showed them your abilities and what you were capable of (meaning, you let the water from the inside of the security guys’ water bottle accidentally splash onto his head),PLUS, told them that you had just served three years in the army, theyshut their mouths relatively quickly, not wanting to piss you off ordisrespect you.

So theyled you through the halls of the compound, only then realizing just how big this place actually was.

They had really spared no expenses, huh?

Atone point, you faintly began to hear the voices of people. Quite afew of them, one talking over the other. They were laughing.. theysounded.. happy.

Asmall smile spread on your lips at the thought of Natasha beinghappy. She had spent so much time being the complete opposite and each and every time you had been there to pick her up. God,the closer you got to the source of the voices, the more you realizedhow much you had missed her. Holding her, looking at her, kissing her..

Oncethe door got opened, it didn’t take long before all eyes were on you.

Tonywas the first to stand up and walk over to you and the security guystanding next to you.

“Whoare you? Who is this? What do you want here?” he bombarded you with one question after the other.

“I’mlooking for..-”

“(Y/N)?”Natasha peeked around the corner, her eyes widening when she saw youstanding there.

Yourown eyes immediately lit up. She was still looking as beautiful asthe last time you had seen her, now with short blonde hair, rockingit like she was made for it. But then again, you had seen her with almost every form of hairstyle and in every color and she always looked like a goddess, so it shouldn’t surprise you.

Sheshoved Tony aside and put her hands on either sides of your face,pulling you towards her to give you a hasty, but passionate kiss.

Youwere so focused on her, that you could only barely hear the othersin the background letting out surprised gasps and ‘What the hell isgoing on?’s. No, the only thing that mattered at that moment was thewoman in front of you, that you grabbed by the waist and pulled evencloser to you, so that there was no space left between you.

Whenshe pulled back after a couple of seconds, Tony was standing a little too close next to youtwo, his eyes flickering from you, back to her.

“Uhm,excuse me, but who is this and why are you kissing her?”

“It’smy girlfriend,” she didn’t take her eyes off you, her thumbs gentlybrushing over your cheekbones, a little out of breath from the kiss.

“It’syour..-” Tony took a step back and turned around to the others.Most of them only shrugged, others were shocked, while Clint grinnedhappily.

“Goodto see you again, (Y/N),” you heard him say from one of thecouches, “Just a fair warning. She’s become an even bigger pain inthe ass.”

“Watchit, Barton,” she warned, turning her head to face himquickly, before looking back at you, “What are you doing here? Whydidn’t you call you were coming?”

“Itwould have ruined the surprise, if I had,” your hands were still onher waist, not wanting to let her go just yet, “I just served mylast day,” you grinned from ear to ear.

Hermouth fell open just a little, then she started grinning.

“You’redone?”

“I’mdone,” you nodded happily.

Shekissed you once more, before pulling you in for a tight embrace.

Stevegot up from the couch, followed by Sam and Bucky, all threeinterested in what you had meant by ’just served your last day’ (even though it should be fairly obvious.)

“Youwere in the army?” Steve asked.

Natlet go of you, but only so that she could wrap her arm around yourshoulder and proudly smile at you.

“Yeah.Three years.”

“Really?Man, that is cool! My unit did not have a single woman,” Sam chimedin and grinned, while licking his lips and looking you up and down. When he saw Natasha’s look, however, he quickly lowered his gaze, a little ashamed of himself.

“Shame.Mine had around 20. I’m sure you would have loved them all.”

Natashapulled you towards one of the couches and, as expected, one question followed the next. They ranged from questions about your timein the army, to questions about you and Natasha and lastly, personalquestions about you and Natasha’s love life. (I’ll let you guess whoasked those questions.)

“Soyou just wanted to visit Natasha? Is that the only reason you’rehere?” Bucky asked, leaning forward a bit.

“Thatwas the biggest reason, but.. I heard you were preparing for a war,”you turned to face Tony, “Thanos, if my information is correct?”

“Howdid you even..-?”

“Youthink I’d just date anyone?” Natasha crossed her arms in front ofher chest and raised her eyebrows.

Youhad always been skilled at a lot of things. That’s why she fell foryou in the first place, after all. It wasn’t your beauty, or your personality. That came later. The first thing she had fallen in love with was the fact that you could match her in every possible way. And not a lot of people could do that.

“Anyways..I want to help.”

Thathad Natasha sitting up straight.

“No,listen, (Y/N), you served this country for three years, you..-”

“I wouldn’t be doing it for this country. I’d be doing it because I can help. Andit would be a waste of my talents, if I just leaned back and relaxed.”

“Andwhat talents are those, if I might ask?” the one that hadintroduced himself as Doctor Strange asked.

Insteadof telling them about it, you let your eyes wander down to the tablein front of you, finding the glass of water. Without doing much more then blink once, youlet the water from inside the glass, float around the room, until youlet it drop back into the cup.

“Youcan let water float. That’s..-”

BeforeTony could even finish his sentence, the fireplace behind him lit up.Upon turning around, he found the previous tiny flames to be so huge,that he had to take a step back, in fear that it would burn him.

“Ican bend the elements to my will.”

“Thatis so cool!” Peter grinned and you smiled back at him.

“Andhow do you do that?”

“It’sgot something to do with my blood. I’m not really sure. They tried toexplain it to me, but I never really understood that science-y crap.”

While the others were already on board with you joining their team, Natashawas still unsure about it.

Shewould hate to see you get hurt, but she had also seen you in actionbefore. She knew that you were an useful ally. Someone who could helpdefeat Thanos. And she knew that there would be no one she’d rather fight with than you.

“Alright,(Y/N),” Tony cleared his throat after that fire incident and satdown next to you, “I don’t want Natasha to kill me, so.. Welcome tothe Avengers.”

The net, and the creator

I returned to a spot in the afternoon where I had seen an Ogre last week, and found her net up. After dark, she returned to it from some unseen hiding place, ready to strike. It was cool to get to shoot the net up close, without having to disturb the spider! It's a bit difficult to shoot the net when it's "in use" and I usually don't try because I don't want to upset the hunter, so finding a net during the day is a good opportunity.

So uh, I made a spider Roger.

I might actually make this into an au (monster bug au?) where everyone is a spider/bug hybrid, so in this au the signal tower warps people into insects and bugs alongside warping proportions, and that’s pretty much it. I’m also going to design the Lady, Hunter, Teacher, Pretender, RCG and RK but if anyone wants to add the other characters or their LN ocs too I’d love to see it!!!

Prepare for lots of spider talk:

I was originally gonna make Roger a deinopidae for obvious reasons (if you know a lot about spiders) but I thought that would fit another character better, also deinopis have good eyesight while pholcidae rely on their other senses and long limbs to navigate, and I just thought if that isn’t Roger what is lol, so I made him a pholcidae instead. So some things about pholcid Roger is that he has four arms (I thought six would be too many to keep track of) lots of eyes but he is nearly entirely blind, so just covers them like normal Roger. He can also make webs and stuff from his hands and eats bugs probably. He still takes care of the children of the Maw as normal too.

A request, if you don’t mind. The day Loki was born (because he’s older than reader.) a prophecy was made, that Loki would rule the nine realms with reader, who happens to be a mortal but is actually from Vanaheim. So he comes to earth, thinking that she is just a mortal who die in 80 years anyway but Thor has already been notified and the Avengers are protecting her, Loki gets her so mad that she starts using magic (she was aware of them) and then she eithers join him or fight him.

Pairing: Loki x (Evil!)ReaderFandom: MCU Warnings: Reader has the same goals as Loki, but it’s quite badass, so you know :’)

Summary: Have you ever wondered why Laufey abandoned Loki? What if it’s because the prophecy that had been made for Loki wasn’t what Laufey had in mind for his son? What if this prophecy claimed that Loki would only rule the nine realms if he had a queen by his side? And what if that queen was you?

A/N: my god, I really fell in love with this idea. The whole “Reader being as wicked as Loki”. HELL YES. I can totally imagine Loki ruling the nine realms with the Reader by his side who has the same goals. So thank you for this request (also, how does a part 2 sound?)

*****

Laufeyapproached the oracle of Vanaheim, holding up his newborn son high inthe air.

“Ah..the ruler of the nine realms.”

Laufeydid not speak, did not look at the oracle. He listened in silence.

“Hewill be what you want him to be, Laufey. But he will not be alone. Hewill rule the nine realms with a queen by his side, as powerful ashimself,” she got up and looked at the, now crying, baby, “But beware. His choices will shape his future. She will either join him andthey will successfully rule the nine realms, or she will fight himand he will die.”

Laufeygrunted in anger, but only bowed a little deeper and walked away fromthe oracle.

Hehad such high hopes for the boy.. but abandoning him would probablybe for the best. He had no use for a child that needed to find awoman before being able to rule.

yearslater

“Stop!”Odin’s voice echoed through the halls, a surprised look on Loki’sface. He had not expected his father to show up.

“AmI cursed?” he said after a moment, still staring at the Tesseractin his hands.

Odintook another step down the stairs. He knew that this conversationwould happen eventually. Maybe it was time to finally tell him everything.

“No..”

“Whatam I?” Loki said, while putting the Tesseract back down.

“You’remy son,” Odin said, no trace of hesitation in his voice. Whateverwould happen next, he needed Loki to understand that, yes, maybe Lokiwasn’t his biological son, but he raised him.. he was there for himwhen he needed him. He still considered him his own.

Butwhen Loki finally turned around, his skin showed his true identity.Odin, however, didn’t blink.

“Whatmore than that?” Loki was slowly getting angry, “The casketwasn’t the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?” hewas now approaching his the man in front of him, still standing onthe stairs.

Odinwaited until he had fully approached him, before finally saying: “No.In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found ababy. Small, for a giant’s offspring. Abandoned, suffering… left todie. Laufeyson.”

“Laufeyson,”Loki repeated, tears welling up in his eyes.

“Yes.”

Loki’sbreathing hitched, trying to find words to say.. he had so manyquestions, but the most important question to him was: “Why? Youwere knee-deep in Jotunblood. Why would you take me?”

“Youwere an innocent child.”

“No,”he quickly interrupted, “you took me for a purpose.. what was it?”

ButOdin didn’t answer. He only stared at Loki, who had so much hurt inhis eyes.

“Tellme!” Loki screamed when he finally lost his patience.

“Whenyou were born, a prophecy had been made. This prophecy was the reasonLaufey abandoned you.”

Loki’seyebrows drew together in confusion, his chest still heaving heavily.

“Aprophecy?”

“Yes.You, my son,” he finally walked down the last of the steps andplaced one hand on Loki’s shoulder, “would rule the nine realms oneday. That is what the prophecy said.”

“But..if I would rule then why would he..?”

“Becauseyou won’t rule them on your own,” Odin cut him off, “Laufeywanted you and you alone to rule the nine realms. When he found outthat you wouldn’t, he cast you out.”

Lokigulped and tried to blink away the tears. He was hurt, but also.. soangry..

“Who?Who is this.. other person?”

Hewould not stand for this. He would not rule with another person byhis side. He would prove his real father wrong.. make him regret thathe ever left him. He would simply have to kill this other ruler.

“Hername.. is (Y/N). And she lives on Midgard.”

Awoman? A woman from Midgard? Whoever made that prophecy had to bemad. Utterly mad. How could a mortal rule the nine realms?

Lokiran past Odin, who sighed deeply.

Heknew the rest of the prophecy. He knew that Loki couldn’t kill you.And if he tried, he would perish himself.

earth

“So..let me get this straight..,” you turned around to.. the Avengers,“I am part of a prophecy that says I will rule.. realms?”

Thornodded and walked closer to you. Only then did you realize how tallhe was.

“Theprophecy also claims that you will rule them with my brother. Buthe’s.. well, let’s just say he’d rather rule on his own.”

“Youthink he wants to kill me?”

Natashaand Clint turned around when they heard something that sounded a lotlike a portal getting opened behind them.

“Herewe go,” Natasha said, raising her guns.

Thorreadied his hammer and stood protectively in front of you.

Lokichuckled, his grip tightening around his staff.

“Brother,dear.”

“Tookyou quite some time to finally find her.”

Youraised your eyebrows.

“Whoa,what? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Youthink we’ve only started protecting you today, sweetheart?” Tonysaid from above, already in his suit.

“Firstof all, call me sweetheart again and you’ll lose a limb. Second ofall,” you shoved Thor aside and let out a breath when facing Loki,“Hi. I’m (Y/N). You must be the guy who wants to kill me.”

“Loki,”he looked you up and down, “And yes. Which should be easy enough. Awoman from Midgard,” he snorted.

Youcocked your head to the side.

“Midgard?”

“Earth,”he said, making it sound like your question was the stupidest one hehad ever heard.

“Oh,I know what Midgard is.. I’m just trying to understand what makes you thinkI’m from Midgard.”

Everyone now suddenly looked confused.

“Lookat you. A mortal,” he took another step towards you, but stoppedwhen the Avengers all pointed their weapons at him.

Youchuckled and batted your eyelashes at him.

“Iam a mortal. That is true. But I’m not as young as I might look, mydear.”

Youextended your arm and opened your hand. A second later, a staff ofyour own appeared in front of you and you grabbed it, before pointingit towards Loki. He flew back a couple of feet and you slowlyapproached him, swaying your hips with a wicked grin on your face.

“Youweren’t the only one who got cast out because of this prophecy,Loki,” you said while crouching down in front of him, “I was bornon Vanaheim. Ruling.. it’s our birthright. Both of ours,” youwhispered, not wanting the others to hear it.

Lokididn’t say a word, he simply stared into your eyes.

“Don’tfight me. Join me. Let us rule the way we’re supposed to rule.Together.”

Youextended your hand.

Lokistill wasn’t convinced, but carefully considered his options. Maybe you were lying and only wanted to gain his trust so you could kill him later. Anyhow, youseemed to be powerful. More powerful than he had imagined. People from Vanaheim were powerful sorcerers. Theyperformed magic like he could only wish he would someday.

Ithad always been his deepest desire to rule.

Butperhaps..

..perhapshe did it the wrong way. All he had to do to rule was grab your hand, if your offer was genuine. But he searched your eyes for traces of lies.. he found none. And he was the trickster in his room. He could detect lies.

Awicked grin formed on Loki’s lips and he finally took your hand.

Youhelped him to get up, then you turned around to Thor.

“I’msorry you wasted your time ’protecting’ me, Thor,” then you openedup a portal with your staff. Loki walked through first, “You seemlike a nice guy. And I truly hope that I never have to meet you onthe battlefield. But if I do.. know that I won’t show mercy.”

“This..you had planned this.”

Yousmiled and batted your eyelashes once more.

“Ofcourse I did, my dear. Or do you think your father found out about theprophecy on his own?”

You didn’t know why Odin took Loki with him, but you were fortunate enough that he did. When you were old enough, you had started dropping hints. You had people in Asgard whisper about the prophecy and eventually, Odin found out.

Angersparkled in Thor’s eyes. He started charging at you, but all you didwas laugh and go through the portal.

Whenit closed behind you, Loki and you stood on a balcony overlookingVanaheim.

“Whatnow?” he asked.

“Now,”you grabbed his hand, then looked up at him, “we do what we weredestined to do. Rule. Together.”
