You ran for your life, lungs burning, feet flying.
You looked behind you to see that the one pursuing you was not far off. You ducked down a hallway and into an open door.
Your chest heaved as you leaned against the wall and looked around for a hiding space.
Fragmented memories were coming back to you during this pursuit, and at this moment, the sense of running barefoot through tall reeds on the banks of a river overwhelmed you.
You shook it off, although you couldn’t help yourself from looking to the air for your favorite brightly colored water fowl. Your heart dropped when you looked around to register an empty room with a solitary gurney. The fact that you were trapped in a mental hospital and not outside it sucked the air out of you.
And then you heard his footsteps.
Bucky slowed his pace as his ears perked up, and he opened the same door you did moments before. He’d come for you an hour ago and you’d managed to evade him ever since. Typical for one who’d taken the serum. You were a hard target to acquire, but he was determined.
He scanned the empty room, checking for trap doors or hidden panels. He walked over to the windows, which were sealed shut. He looked down on the courtyard that patients weren’t allowed to use and shook his head, then, he made his way out of the door again.
You waited three minutes after you heard his footsteps retreating before you moved the ceiling tile and dropped down from where you’d been hiding.
For some reason, the man you were hiding from you terrified you. Ever since you saw his face weeks ago when you fought him on a mission, you’d been plagued with strange memories. Which made your Master have to reset you again and again. You resented that.
Despite the fact that you felt impelled destroy him, you did not want to face the dark-haired man in black with the piercing blue eyes again. You may not know your own name, but you knew that man had some mysterious power over you. Even more so than the Power Broker.
Just as you reached for the doorknob, the door jerked open, the man in black returning your stare with a rueful grin. You’d been too lost in your own thoughts to be fully aware of his presence.
“Daga karshe na sameki masoyiyata.”
Your ears perked up at the language that the man spoke. You understood it, although you’d spoken French for as long as you could remember, which wasn’t long. Maybe this horrible institution wasn’t your home.
“Why did you call me that?”
Your eyes widened when English came out of your mouth. It seemed a natural response to this man. You were very confused, more than you normally were, which was always.
The man was inching closer to you now.
“Because that is who you are, Soyayya ta.”
“No! That’s not true!”
You hurled yourself at the man, climbing up his body and winding up with your legs around his neck. You squeezed, hoping to choke him out while he grinned up at you.
“Yes it is.”
His voice was weak, as if he was gasping for breath. For an unknown reason, you let up on his windpipe.
Suddenly, you were sat on the gurney, your right leg in his left hand. You could not get out of his grip and you two stared at each while he held your legs apart. When he licked his lips was when you kicked him in the sternum. Clearly, he was surprised at the force, which caused him to double over, but he quickly recovered and caught you before you moved two feet, grabbing your bicep and bringing your arm behind your back, placing you none too gently against the wall.
You grunted as you felt all of him, including his manhood, pressed hard and insistent upon your back.
Was he going to violate you?
Did you want him to?
Yet another language flowed out of his mouth, which was close to the shell of your ear. You suppressed a shiver as you heard his velvet voice.
“Sygrayem v nashu malen'kuyu igru, kukolka?”
He snaked his left arm around your neck and pressed you back further into him as his gloved hand turned your face to his. He leaned around, as if he was going to kiss you, and opened his mouth. His breath fanned your face as he bared his teeth and bit the pointer finger of the black leather glove he was wearing. He used his mouth to tear the glove off to reveal a black and golden hand. You were mesmerized by it until it was quickly clamped over your mouth.
The sensation was familiar and when you tasted the metal; it was nearly orgasmic. Your eyes rolled baack into your head and you all but ignored the man’s other hand roaming your body.
“I’m just checking you to see if you’re okay, Doll.”
The hand tasted like home, like warm air and smells of your favorite foods. It tasted like beautiful people and excellence and safety and…Wakanda. Your eyes flew open when you realized.
Vibranium.
You sobbed as memories came flooding to your mind. The pathetic sounds were muffled by the vibranium hand.
Your mother. Your father. The river that was your home. Your weapons. Your money. The vow you took when you became a Dora Milaje and Shuri’s personal guard. The same vow that you broke when you fell in love with Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier…
“Farar kerkecina.…James…”
“Shhhh Doll. I’m here now.”
Bucky pulled you into his arms from behind, and you held on to the limbs that were wrapped around you as you cried, one human and one created by the Princess, Shuri.
Finally, you turned around and looked up at the love of your life. He peered back at you, eyes full of concern, but also a mixture of relief, love, and yes, need.
“Are you okay?”
You didn’t answer him, instead, you asked your own question.
“How long, James? How long have we been apart?”
Bucky brought his hand up to your face, thumb tracing your chin and fingers in your dense curls.
“A little over two years.”
You gasped and tears fell again fresh and new.
“I searched for you every day. I promise, Doll. And you’ve been right under my nose…”
Your heart melted.
“I know you did. The Power Broker is devious. She did horrible things. Made me do…”
And then he kissed you. His lips were the softest and strongest you’d ever tasted. You licked into his mouth and fisted his t shirt between you.
“You don’t have to tell me. I know. And I’m going to find her and bring her to justice.”
Bucky was panting as your hand strayed to touch the bare skin and the metal under his shirt. He smirked when you pinched his nipple.
“She is mine to destroy.”
Bucky’s smirk turned into a full fledged grin when you glared up at him and opened his pants. He shivered when you fisted him.
“There’s my girl.”
You separated from him as you pulled your shirt over your head. Next went your pants and underwear as Bucky’s eyes roamed your body. He licked his chops, just as the White Wolf would.
“You sure you don’t wanna leave, Doll? Need to check you out. Need to get you an examination… get you safe…”
You backed away from him toward the gurney.
“I need to have you James. Please. I remember. It’s been so long. I need some control back. Please.”
Bucky couldn’t stop himself from moving toward your upturned ass as you bent over the gurney and looked over your shoulder at him.
“You told me the serum heightened everything. But I didn’t understand before. I need you now, James.”
Bucky was drawn to you as if on a string.
“I get it, Doll. Everything is so much. You sure you alright, Doll?”
You hadn’t said that you were before, but you avoided the topic again.
“See for yourself, farar kerkecina.”
Bucky rubbed your ass, eyes glazed over, lust flowing through his veins. It had been a long 26 months and visions of you clouded not only his dreams, but every spare waking moment. He couldn’t help it.
His metal hand quickly undid his belt and pants while his right, his flesh, dipped into you, feeling the wetness between your legs. You reached back to the arm that shined, incrementally trying to bring him into you. He held you off, but he did slowly start to swipe his cockhead through your neglected folds.
“Oh…”
Bucky watched and drooled as he took in the vision of your mouth and that wide open, perfect O of those perfect lips.
“So gorgeous… Soyayya ta..”
He slowly breached your tight hole, and your mouth widened impossibly even more as the stretch almost took you out. It hurt, but it hurt so good, the only positive sensation you’d had in over two years.
This time, Bucky let you reach back to grasp the base of him, slowing down as he saw the difficulty with which you were having taking him. You adjusted his aim, and he paused, hand on your hip as you spread your cheeks so that he could get inside you. Your eyes met in surprised sensation as he was finally able to slide all the way home.
“Feel so damn good, White Wolf!”
You started moving faster on his cock as his hands slid up your wiast to your tits, squeezing, groping, making up for lost time.
He was stroking a slow, steady, deep pace, as his metal fingers made their way into your open mouth, pressing down your throat as your tongue swirled around your native metal.
“So goood….”
You were gagging around his fingers, partly because of his actions, and partly because he felt so good inside you. You reached back and grabbed his shirt, pulling on it as you took his thick cock inside you, looking back at him stretching your tiny hole with awe. You looked into each other’s eyes as you felt him swelling impossibly.
“Love your bald head, but I like this hair, Doll. I can do this…”
And Bucky grabbed your curls, pulling on your roots deliciously and stretching your neck so that he could engage you in a filthy kiss while he drove into you. You separated, gasping for breath.
“Bast! James, is your cock made of vibranium too?”
He laughed at the old joke, which made the rounds of the Dora until you found out the truth.
“You make me feel like it is, soyayya ta.”
Bucky let you go so that you could hold on to the gurney and fuck yourself on his cock.
He grabbed your breasts again and the look of surprised lust came was mirrored on both of your faces as you felt yourself squeezing him with your impending orgasm.
“C’mon, Soyayya ta. Give it to me.”
“James, oh James. Oh….!”
“Good god!”
You bent fully over the gurney when you came, and Bucky had a clear view of your beautiful cream on his cock. That’s when he started pounding you out properly, using you to reach his end. Your senses were so alive that you felt each stream and splash of his cum inside you, and it caused your sensitive cunt to shudder. You lay there under him as he collapsed on top of you, relishing the feel of him.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck…”
Bucky kissed your shoulder and down your back as he looked around for something to clean up with. You looked back at him, and stood up, Bucky’s spend leaking down your legs.
“Let me.”
You gave him that look as you bent over, taking his still semi-hard cock in your hand. You stared at him straight on as you took him in your mouth and cleaned him off.
“That mouth, those eyes… you’re killing me here…”
You smiled around his girth and then opened your mouth to let him see the effects of your handiwork.
“On my life, Doll. I will never get enough of you.”
He pulled you up to standing and leaned down to give you a filthy kiss.
“So glad to have you back in my arms.”
Bucky turned around and leaned on the gurney as he held you. You leaned into him, tears pricking your eyes as you felt the same emotions, but knowing what you had to do.
“I love you, farar kerkecina…”
You gave him a tender kiss on the lips before you delivered a blow to his vagus nerve. Bucky went out immediately, and you gently laid him on the gurney before you got dressed again.
“I have to finish this with the Power Broker, and I know you will try to stop me.”
You tucked the underwear that you’d cleaned up with into his jeans pocket, trading them for the keys to this asylum.
“We will be together soon, my love.”
You gave him a kiss on his perfect lips before you quickly made your out of the hospital, on your way to kill Sharon Carter for making you the Summer Soldier and taking the child from your belly.
Daga karshe na sameki masoyiyata (Hausa)– "I finally found you my love"
Soyayya ta (Hausa)— My Love
Sygrayem v nashu malen'kuyu igru, kukolka? (Russian)-- "Shall we play our little game, Doll?"
Farar kerkecina (Hausa).… "My white wolf"

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks so much for the tag @zsparz !!!💖
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
166!
2. What’s your total ao3 word count?
2.013.111. I write when I‘m stressed, can you tell?
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Mostly the MCU. Frostiron my beloved 💕 I recently posted a Huskerdust fic, though, and a couple years ago I posted some Good Omens stuff! I have another Good Omens wip brewing, but I haven‘t worked on it in a while.
4. Top five fics by kudos
First one up would be Your Call, a multi-chaptered ABO Frostiron thing that‘s sadly unfinished because I‘m not happy with where it was going somehow. Then Corners of Reality, my baby, Yes or No, Dereliktion and last but not least Vita Nova!
5. Do you respond to comments?
God I try. I’m so bad at it though. On long fics I always answer comments on the last chapter when I post the new one, but I keep forgetting to reply to comments on older chapters or oneshots😭 They all mean the world to me though.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Ohh I wrote a few angsty oneshots but it‘s been a while. Maybe Here, that‘s the most recent one. Of the older ones I remember all my light most clearly. Tony is dead or dying in both of these lol, poor Loki.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I like to think the happiest endings in stories are ones you had to fight for a little bit, so maybe Dereliktion. That was a long ride filled with angst and messed up relationships lol. I think Haywire (my first and so far only Sentinel/Guide fic, I love that trope a lot akfj) also has a pretty fluffy ending, and I have some oneshots that are pretty much all fluff!!
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Occasionally? Just the other day I got another anon ask on here complaining about my recent stories. Makes me extra thankful for everyone who takes the time to tell me they enjoy my stuff!!💖
9. Do you write smut?
I do! Pretty much all the time lol. I love writing Dom/sub relationships!
10. Craziest crossover?
I don‘t think I‘ve ever written one before?
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yesss. I‘m not sure if they just didn’t know any better though, they deleted the copied parts as soon as I told them.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes!! I‘m always so happy when that happens!!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Also yes. One year I did a whole Frostiron Advent calendar with @rabentochter (do you remember this????? How did we have the time??????? Insane) and we wrote a few more collabs beyond that.
14. All time favorite ship?
Frostiron!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my sassy messed up geniuses lol
15. What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Uhhh I‘ve got a few. I‘d like to finish/rewrite Your Call. Once I also had the cracky fever dream of Loki doing random standup comedy shows in New York because he‘d KILL that. Can you imagine the sarcasm. The gallow‘s humor. Anyway I started that and then realized I Cannot Write Standup Routines at all. So there‘s that.
16. What are your writing strengths?
What I like to write the most is character and relationship development, so hopefully I‘m decent at that? Also dialogue, I hope, but that kinda comes and goes depending on the conversation.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I kinda suck thinking of longish plot that goes beyond “will they kiss?? Will they FUCK???” so I’ve been trying to practice that. Also scenes with lots of action😭
18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
I like it. I’ve been wanting to write a fic where Tony can properly show off his language skills but I don’t know enough languages to pull that off lol
19. First fandom you wrote in?
The VERY first was Dracula, back when I was 13 or so. I had a big thing for van Helsing back then. My first fandom on ao3 was Once Upon a Time!!
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Ooohhh. That would be Corners of Reality, because I worked on it for years before I even started posting it and I love how it turned out. It’s a slow burn time travel enemies to friends to almost lovers to enemies to friends to lovers to enemies to allies to lovers fic. I had SO much fun writing it I still think about it all the time😭😭
I’m just gonna tag some writers I know are on here: @endlessstairway @xottan @izhunny @arabesqueangel @bouncydragon no pressure though!! And if you see this and you’re a writer please consider yourself tagged!!💖

The only MCU villain I’m willing to defend (besides the Vulture and the High Evolutionary) is Ultron—even though I hate Joss Whedon with a passion. But to be perfectly honest, it’s mostly because the meteor stuff is more interesting than nuclear misales (Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes did that already) and because James Spader was a fantastic casting choice. I’m willing to concede to every other criticism of the character.
God the MCU is so shit, here’s hoping that it crashes and burns within the next few years before its blight on cinema becomes irreversible (the only hope I’d have for any Marvel character is if they stuck with good animated series and made animated movies on-par with Spider-Verse, otherwise I’m more than happy to see those motherfuckers melt).
It’s no secret now that I hated Guardians 3, so my hot take is the High Evolutionary sucked too. He’s definitely one of the better MCU villains, but like… still not great. I also hated Ultron, but that’s mostly because even as a young teen who was loving the MCU and excited for every movie, I did not like Age of Ultron. The only Avengers movie I enjoyed was the first one. Loki was good before they made him annoying. Of course, the Red Skull was fun because who doesn’t love watching the Nazis lose.
At least DC has been putting out a ton of animated movies (though of varying quality). When they’re good, they can be pretty adept at getting newcomers more familiar with some comic lore they might not know.

One of the biggest things that annoys me on a personal level (and not a capitalism consumerism level) about the MCU is that if you're brunt out from the films or you've sat back and realised "Wow... they're really just shitting all over these stories and covering it up with millions in green dotted suits and abuse of SFX crews aren't they?" you're automatically counted in the same basket as 'Marvel Bros'
You know the people I'm talking about; they've never picked up a comic in their life but women have to list like 17 arcs they verify by Wikipedia, the people who sit there and scream about how comic accurate representation is Marvel/Disney vying for woke points -those are the Marvel bros.
And it annoys me that I can't say "I won't be watching the new she-hulk show because it looks atrocious." And be given the time to say that the CGI makes me uncomfortable because it's un-canny Valley esque and that the premise of the show might be based on a actual comic line but it just feels a bit too late to be picking up a "fourth wall break" character after all the multiverse references/use of the multiverse they've thrown in.
Not to mention that it does feel pandering to the people who liked the Deadpool films and that comedic aspect of fourth wall breaking but now with... MCU "he's behind me isn't he"/"on your left" humour. This is purely subjective on Mt part and I recognise that She-Hulk has always been a fourth wall break character and I do love her in the comics but MCU writers don't know what comedy is.
You can't say you don't want to watch it because it looks atrocious because Marvel fans are in three camps.
A: Marvel Bros.
These guys think everything is for woke points and if it doesn't appeal to them sexually or in a power fantasy way its woke and stupid.
So you can't provide actual reasons to rhem because they'll just go "Well why did we even NEED a FEMALE hulk!? Fucking woke bullshit!" and any actual reasons you have will fly so fast over their heads the Guardian of the Galaxy writers will get in another Drax joke.
B: We know but we're ostriches.
This group are the people on the verge of burn out, who have turned liking MCU films into a part of their core personality and so NEED to watch the next one even if they know all the issues surrounding it, even if they're disappointed or hell even anxious about what's next and how the drop off in quality is going to look next phase with more production that should be feasible.
But they're a MCU fan so they put their head in the sand and they know what you're saying but they can't acknowledge it because then a part of their personality is gone then.
And C.
C: Marvel suckers.
These are the ones that as soon as you mention not liking the films they're screaming about you being a marvel bro. Don't like the look of she-hulk? Mysonginst.
Black Panther was an alright film but didn't really capture you the same way say the Avengers did? Racist.
Thought that Endgames solution and explanation of timeliness made NO fucking sense and can even point out glaring potholes in Dr Strange's logic and his decision and how it then contradicts with future films? You just don't UNDERSTAND, you weren't paying attention. If you give Marvel more knew and watch their spin offs and mini series and not Canon amendments we all take as Canon to fill the void in our hearts, you'll actually understand its not a plot hole its a different timeline even though timeline branches as explained in the movie don't work this way.
And it just... MCU films are nothing more than CGI hotmesses designed to suck any joy and love that was put into the original project and it makes me so mad you can't criticise them online without being a massively "anti-progressive" fan.
On that note I hope people finally fucking stop saying "you just hate the left" when people criticise the MCU for attempting to make the Hydra Steve Rogers arc into a film. Wherein the character all these men and boys have been told is a role model will be shown as a literal nazi worldwide at a time where anti-semitism and facism is rising. Its disgraceful enough that Marvel defiled the character made by two Jewish men and made him a nazi for story purposes but to do that and try and get the storyline green lit for a film at a time where fascism is on the rise is disgraceful.

Letters From The War
Blog Details + My Library
author note: so i've been sitting on this idea for a few days. I really like Maddy's speech in the hot tub so why not do a fic about it? my bucky ones don't really get a lot of attention, but it felt easier to do this story line with bucky rather than steve or sam. also, this is an au where bucky is just a womanizing jerk that "settled down" but is like a typical military man. this isn't really one that follows the mcu timeline.
Bucky x fem!reader
word count: 692
warning(s): fluff from the past, angst at the end, military men suck, bucky is a sleeze
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
January 17, 1941
Dear y/n,
The bunkers aren’t that bad. Everyone smells like shit, but you get used to it. These commie bastards think they’re so smug. I give it a few months tops before they’re captured and we’re back home. I miss you a whole lot. The guys keep bragging about their girls, but they have nothing on you, doll. I have to go soon, but I just wanted to apologize. I don’t like how things parted before I got on the train. I promise y/n, I’ll change. I’ll grow. I’ll be better. I love you so much.
Your Jamie
September 16, 1941
Dear y/n,
I think we might be coming home soon. Things seem to be getting better from my point of view, but you know they don’t tell us shit. I’m sorry it takes a little longer for me to respond. The ladies in the mail battalion have been pretty backed up with all the mail we get. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I almost lost my arm the other day. Can you believe it? Would you still go with me if I only had one arm? I think so. You can’t resist my charm. Can you do me a favor and with your next letter send me a photo of you? I know you already sent one, but that was four months ago. I want to see what you look like now. I doubt you got more beautiful considering you’ve reached the max level, but I wouldn’t put it past you to do it. I just want to see more of you. I love you.
Your Jamie
February 5, 1942
Dear y/n,
I don’t deserve you, but I love you. Do you realize how hard it was hiding these photos of you? Fuck, I swear as soon as I get home you are not gonna be able to leave the bed. I can’t wait to get back. I miss home, I miss real food, I miss how you smell, I miss you. This is sappy. I hope you had a good day doll.
Your Jamie
October 31, 1942
Dear y/n,
Lost a few good men today. You would think I would be used to it by now. We lose men every day, but I don’t know. Today felt different. I just want to go home. On the brighter side, my mom sent me something. I got accepted into Princeton! Isn’t that great? I know it won’t be for a while, but they said they’d hold my spot until I got back. Please, when I go to college move with me. I don’t want to part with you for a while when I come back.
Your Jamie
June 5, 1943
Dear y/n,
I’m thinking of a spring wedding. Not too hot, but not too cold. What do you think? As soon as I’m released we get hitched. I promise I’ll propose properly when I get back, but until then, marry me?
Your Jamie
September 20, 1943
Dear y/n,
They’re letting me come home early! Some time early next year. You’re gonna be all mine again. With this in mind, I just have one last favor to ask you, have my babies. Please? Our kids would be so cute. Think about it and get back to me. Until then, I have nothing more to report. Love you.
Bucky
I should have known. I should have fucking known. It’s probably that whore that went off to war with him. “I’ve always wanted to work in the mail room” My fucking ass. I always hated that bitch and now she’s pregnant. Bucky really got that whore pregnant. “I promise y/n, I’ll change. I’ll grow. I’ll be better.” Burned. “I don’t deserve you, but I love you.” Burned. “Please, when I go to college move with me.” Burned. “Marry me.” Burned. “Have my babies.” Burned. He's not going to last. He can’t handle it. He may seem like the poster boy for the American Dream, but just because he can handle war doesn’t mean he can handle a baby, plus college, plus a job. He’ll crumble and I’ll be there to watch.

every version of tony is so irritating both in canon but also fan spaces bc of how his shipping presence and how it feels like every tony/XYZ shipper seems to hate the other character and dgaf abt their own stories/personality/arcs and wants to punish and flatten the other character to a sex object in a billionaire fantasy where everything has to serve tony and no one else
but anyways... that blonde yt lady emma's the worst so I unironically pray this is endgame/long term and they destroy each other's characterization and stark industries & hellfire both burn to the ground im tired of these annoying wealthy honkies getting in the way of better stories and development jus bc marvel+its fans have bad taste lol
better yet I hope they mcu synergize and [redact] him but without the jesucristo cosplay self-sacrificing bs just [redact] him period im tired of him and the fanbase he attracts
Gonna say anon (kind of no longer anon!) this is your best ask in a while. I used to hate tony stark much more than I do now, I mostly don't care for him though I want to see him get beaten up for how he treated my girlie Wanda during The Dark Ages™ (late 00s and early 2010s)
As for Emma. Lol I fucking hate her. Actually no I don't hate her, I hate the direction her character's been taking since like the 90s. She kicked ass as a villain and her whole character is shaped like the one of a villain and yet. She is written like *that*. And treated like *that* by the fandom so I am also rejoicing at this wedding out of pure, old good schadenfreude.
As for fanbases. Yeah they SUCK. Idk what's in the water of the fans of Marvel male characters but ooohh they can be the worst so much. Specially for big guys like male Avengers like Thor and Tony and male X-Men like Scott and Logan.
Btw what's up with the lava motif of this side blog /positive

[movie review] justice league dark: apokolips war (2020)
“king shark is a shark!”
when i was a more serious superhero fan, i considered the mcu the gold standard for live-action superhero movies, and the dc universe original movies the same for animated superhero movies. it’s not difficult to see why. and i don’t think it’s out of line to say that the storytelling of the dcamu was heavily inspired by the mcu.
(if i wanted to be out of line i would say the dcamu is drastically better, which it is, but that’s not my point right at this exact moment and also these are not the kinds of arguments i care about anymore.)
moreover, i think apokolips war in particular is pretty blatantly inspired by infinity war and endgame, which makes sense with the latter having come out just a year beforehand.
given that the dceu has never really managed to get its feet under it the way the mcu did, it makes sense that their less well-known animated films which have consistently impressed both fans and critics is where they got to have their infinity war/endgame. it’s a massive crossover with a dizzying number of characters having at least an extended cameo, it has impossibly high stakes, and every single hero needs to throw their everything into it. people die, people are depowered, relationships are consummated or sundered. it is, in every sense of the word, climactic.
obviously some of the more grimdark elements of it are not precisely my cup of tea, nor do i particularly care for its apparent “it’s complicated” stance on abusive parents. but this is still drastically more interesting than any of the comics it’s based on? (aside from its lack of grail. how can you do a new 52 cataclysm and not give me the steppy queer-looking amazon who steps on everyone???) and in spite of its aforementioned grimdark elements, it mostly maintains a hopeful tone? this is a story about people who are going to go down fighting no matter what.
oh, and like. damian wayne is ultimately one of the biggest damn heroes of this entire continuity, suck it nerds. and i love, love, love his relationship with raven omg. it was such a slow burn but seeing it culminate and seeing them be there for each other is just… yes!!
on a much more superficial note, it has That Scene with constantine and king shark, and king shark is looking hot af. and the suicide squad is so much better off without waller.
seriously, this was awesome. i’m glad the dcamu got a definitive ending, and while there are definitely movies in the series i like a whole lot more than this one, i really do appreciate a lot of the choices it made.

Weekend Top Ten #565
Top Ten Things 2022
As is customary, we approach the close of the year and I start to evaluate all the shit I saw. Or played. Or listened to. Or sometimes did. But mostly saw.
I kinda think in a lot of ways this was a good year. I mean, not, y’know, politically or anything. It might not quite have been as bad as 2016 or 2020 but it still mostly sucked; almost everything is crap and/or on fire, and there seems to be scant leadership amidst the ruins. But the films were good.
Unfortunately, as is quite often the case, I feel the cultural year can be defined by what I didn't see over what I did. Even the show most people are banging on about – Andor – I've not got round to yet. This is really because I spent most of the autumn and winter flitting from city to city, from hotel to hotel, as part of my job. That in itself was quite good fun, but it did mean I fell behind on films and TV.
Another defining aspect of the year was stuff that didn't make it out yet. As an Xbox owner, I'm used to waiting for big titles to appear; Starfield was delayed until 2023, and the remake of Goldeneye – announced for December – has yet to appear. Even what may have been my film of the year – Spielberg’s The Fabelmans – only comes to the UK in January. And although we knew that IDW were losing my beloved Transformers, it's still a bit weird that we don't know who's going to be publishing it going forward.
Anyway, enough of that. Let's have a look at my highlights of 2022...
Films of the Year: despite feeling like there are loads of biggies that I didn’t see (Banshees, RRR, Nope, Morbius), it was still a terrific year at the movies. Even in the realm of big blockbusters, Top Gun: Maverick was a hell of a surprise, but what was really cool is that the best films of the year were smaller, quirkier things. Obviously the best film is Everything Everywhere All at Once, which came out of nowhere to upend the multiverse and take the wind out of Doctor Strange’s cloak. But just behind it, for me at least, was Prey, a film that harnessed what was great about the Predator franchise but give it a much-needed new spin, and wash the taste of the disappointing The Predator away.
Peak Marvel TV: the current Phase of Marvel movies might not quite have reached the giddy heights of prior eras (what could, after they stuck the landing so well in Endgame?), but their TV game is on point. Ms. Marvel is, for me, the best thing they’ve ever done, just pipping the awesome metatextuality of WandaVision with its feminism, humour, and examination of Pakistani culture. And then She-Hulk took some of these issues even further with a phenomenally funny, self-aware show that picked holes in every facet of the MCU. Let’s hope Secret Invasion can live up to what’s come before.
The Return of Adventure: I grew up on adventure games. I’ve said before, but it was The Secret of Monkey Island that really made me fall in love with videogames as an art form. So I was super-chuffed when original creator Ron Gilbert returned for Return to Monkey Island, and even more chuffed when it turned out to be a really funny return to form. But its thunder was perhaps slightly stolen by Pentiment, my game of the year; a slow-burning adventure set inside a medieval manuscript that is chock full of references to renaissance life and work and culture. But it’s all part of a revitalisation of the adventure genre, and I’m mega super-chuffed about that.
The Final Transformation: it’s hard to get my head around, but IDW has now published its last Transformers comic. Their interpretation of the franchise, starting all the way back in 2005 with Infiltration, has become the definitive take for me, their stories – across multiple continuities at this point – the definitive creative viewpoint, the smartest and most interesting tales told of the Transformers. And for Nick Roche to effectively end the run with his melancholic, heartbreaking swansong Last Bot Standing – bringing back inaugural artist EJ Su – makes it all the more impressive. Where do we go from here? Primus only knows.
Amazing Animation: I took the kids to the pictures a few times this year, and I’ve seen a lot of animated films. And y’know what? Most of them were good! I do feel we’re living in a golden age of animation. Pixar might have had a few less-masterful films the last few years, but Turning Red was a proper classic like Inside Out. Strange World might be closer to Wreck-It Ralph than Moana in the quality stakes, but it was still great. And outside of the Disney duopoly, DC League of Superpets was much sharper and funnier than it had any right being, and The Bad Guys was frankly excellent. Next year sees us return to the Spider-Verse, so the trend looks set to continue.
Our Comic Book Future: 2022 was a year when Marvel made a dramatic return to comic conventions, planting flags in years ahead and teasing what’s to come in the MCU. And it’s very exciting. We now know we’re in the midst of the Multiverse Saga, and it’ll all end with Avengers: Secret Wars. Amazing! And that’s after The Fantastic Four! And Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine in Deadpool 3! But for the first time in forever, there was DC news to get excited about, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over the nascent DC Studios where it looks like they’re chucking out everything and starting again with a brand new DC movie universe. Feel a bit bad for Henry Cavill, but on the whole it’s an optimistic turn of the page I’d say.
Doctor What: we knew the Doctor was regenerating, we knew Ncuti Gatwa was going to be playing the Doctor going forward, and we knew there was some kind of anniversary special in 2023 which saw David Tennant returning. But the machinations of what happened and how was something of a surprise. The Centenary Special episode was one of the better eps in Chris Chibnall’s tenure, but it was the final moments, when Jodie Whittaker regenerated into David Tennant, that blew us all away. Officially the Fourteenth Doctor, despite Tennant already being the Tenth, that moment was a hell of a surprise. As Tennant himself said, “What?!”
Great Pass: yes, I always say this, and despite GoldenEye 007 spectacularly not appearing, it was another good year to subscribe to Game Pass. As well as adventure game darlings Monkey Island and Pentiment, and relatively big third-party exclusives such as Scorn and High on Life (the latter a phenomenal hit, by all accounts) to quirky, weirder indies that might not otherwise have seen the light of publicity – Let’s Build a Zoo, Turnip Boy, Power Wash Simulator, maybe Vampire Survivor (I don’t know if that was already a big deal, but it was new to me). Anyway, it was another great year of great games on Game Pass. Great!
Rebuilding Star Wars: Star Wars is a weird brand at the moment. Okay, Andor (not seen it, sorry) is meant to be great, but the new films and most of the TV shows aren’t as great as we wanted them to be, and the new games are either non-existent or – again – don’t totally 100% live up to the promises we made to ourselves in our heads. Thanks goodness, then, for Lego Star Wars, which manages to bring back all the things we loved about both Star Wars and the Lego games. It’s just a damn fun game, like most Lego games, but it also reminds us why Star Wars works so well with this sort of game. Messing about with characters and locations, just having fun, it’s a great big toy box of a game, and the tweaks to the graphics and gameplay to bring it up to date all work a treat. Is it perfect? No. But that’s for when they do a new Lego Batman next year.
Acquisition Soap Opera: I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Microsoft is trying to buy Activision. This is becoming Quite a Big Deal. I can see all the pros and cons. This type of massive corporate consolidation is generally bad; it can lead to an homogenisation of content and a bunch of lay-offs, and frankly who wants everything owned by the same three companies? But at the same time, Activision is a bin fire at the moment, with dreadful leadership and weak morale, as well as dozens of great franchises that are gathering dust as the company milks Call of Duty for all its worth. So I see both sides. And watching the arguments play out publicly has been, I must confess, amusing. Sony and Microsoft, attempting to block and support the deal respectively, have basically been punching themselves in the dicks to try to convince regulators that everything they do sucks, and that the only chance they have to not be dreadful little shits is for this deal to be scuppered/this deal to be allowed to go through. Meanwhile I imagine Nintendo is giggling in its money bin as it tries to estimate the stratospheric sales of the next Zelda.
Happy New Year then, everyone!

A new Gryffindor (Harry Potter x Reader)
Requested: No
Pairing: Harry Potter x Gender neutral reader
Warnings: None (unless if you count Malfoy being a dick)
Summary: Being new to Hogwarts is not an easy step, but you meet new friends who you immediately connect with.
Words: 1,312
A/N: Pretty sure this is in gender neutral pronouns but please let me know if it's not! Also please feel free to give a request in my ask box! (Also sorry for the lame summary)
You made your way through the halls of Hogwarts for the first time. You didn't know what to expect. Your parents are muggles so you never knew you had magic in you. That is until a few years ago you realized you were different from your parents. While they spent their time doing muggle stuff, you weren't happy. You wanted something More. and now here you are, Hogwarts. Your dreams have come true.
Right?
"Get out of my way!" A boy with blonde hair growls, shoving past you. When he does he knocks the books you are holding right out of your hands. Your cheeks burned with humiliation as you rushed to pick them back up. It's a little hard to do considering the stampede of students making their way to the Great Hall for the annual sorting. Not only are you worried about being on your own for the very first time, but the impending doom of the sorting hat assigning you to your house for the remainder of your time at Hogwarts is enough to make you want to vomit.
"Let me help you," comes a soft voice. You look up to see a fourth - year boy with dark black scraggly hair and green eyes hidden behind glasses. You suck in a breath and hold it in, while staring at the boy. Your mouth has gone completely dry, and you have no idea what to say.
The boy bends down and hands you your History of Magic book. You cradle the book to your chest as both of you stand up straight. You still haven't said anything and hope that the silly things your thinking aren't portrayed on your face.
"I'm Harry," the boy says, as if you didn't know. Everyone knows who Harry Potter is. He's the boy who lived. If anyone is a celebrity in the world of Magic, it's none other than Harry.
You try to slow your racing heart as you give him a small smile. "I'm (Y/N)." You gesture to your books. "Thanks for the help."
"No problem," Harry says, smiling.
The two of you make your way to the Great Hall. Harry walks alongside you through the corridors, following the mass of students. Finally both of you file into the Great Hall. Your eyes widen at how beautiful the room really is. It's huge- its ceiling is massive. You squint to see if you can find the top of it, but you can't. Candles loom in the air to brighten the room and give it a cheery glow. There are four long tables for the Houses, you presume, and already the older students are settling into their seats.
You notice Harry waving at his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. You've heard of his friends as well. While they aren't as famous as Harry Potter, they've helped Harry solve many mysteries here at Hogwarts. Just two years ago they helped Harry save Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets.
"Good luck on your sorting," Harry says to you.
You smile. "Thank you. I'm a bit nervous."
"I was my first year, too," he admits. "But I'm glad that I'm in Gryffindor. It's really a wonderful House to be in."
"I suppose you're right," you say, your eyes trailing to the Slytherin table. Whatever happens, you hope desperately that you don't end up in that House.
Harry follows your gaze to the table as well. He sighs. "I hope for your sake that you don't end up with Malfoy."
You look at the boy with the light blonde hair. As of right now, he's watching Harry Potter with disgust. You wonder what his problem is and why he doesn't like Harry, but don't say anything. Whatever it is, it's none of your business.
Harry taps on your shoulder. You jump slightly at his touch before turning your gaze back to him. He gives you a kind smile and voices his hopes that you'll be in Gryffindor. As he walks away to join his friends, you can't help but hope the same thing as well.
*time skip*
"GRYFFINDOR!" the Sorting Hat screams out, popping off of your head. The Gryffindor table explodes with applause. They all call out your name and usher you over to their table. You end up smack dab in between two boys with brown hair. Harry Potter sits diagonal from you with a wide grin on his face.
"It's a pleasure," Hermione says to you, a soft smile on her face. Ron, on the other hand, asks you if you like Quidditch. When you tell him you've never even seen a game before, he grabs at his chest as if he's having a heartattack. But there's no time for much talk because the rest of the first years are being Sorted into their Houses.
Finally, when it's all over and the day is coming to an end, Harry walks up to you.
"I had a feeling you would be joining us," he says, laughing. "Welcome to Gryffindor, (Y/N)."
You feel your cheeks grow warm. "Thank you, Harry."

Decided to talk about a theory that has been consuming my mind ever since watching this video 👀
So I definitely have a feeling that the people that don't have red mist surrounding any of their eyes (Wong, Christine and Mordo) are going to die in MOM, but istg if they kill Regin George and our Beyonce stan, I will be walking out of that movie theatre! (I probably won't though)
Now the other all have red mist covering one of their eyes but I noticed especially in Wanda's and I think in Doctor Strange's that he cover part of their right eye. So I have a feeling that the other Doctor Strange that we've seen in the trailer (the one that we saw from What if?) Will be killed by someone - considering 18 people are rumoured to die.
Now with Wanda, I have two theories. One of which being that her -or someone else - may kill that other (Variant?) Wanda that we've seen in the trailer - just so that our Wanda can have her kids back, or the rumours of Doctor Strange killing Wanda are true but in the end credit scene or somewhere at the end of the film we see Wanda alive, because I do believe in the comics she can resurrect herself.
And lastly America Chavez has her eye completely covered by the mist which I greatly assume she's going to survive due to her being in future MCU projects.
Also, this isn't a theory that I'm going to be talking about here so you don't have to read this part if you don't want to. I'm actually so sick of some of you so called Marvel fans, mainly due to the fact that you've literally bullied a 15 year old off social Media just because some countries aren't going to be viewing MOM. It's not Xochitl Gomez's fault that her character is a Lesbian and that really shouldn't be a problem, but no, some of you are literally blaming a 15 year old for it when it wasn't her fault! DEFINE THE CHARACTER FROM THE ACTOR!
There rant all over 🙂
(Hopefully some people know this wasn't targeted at them)

This is a one shot that I decided to share from my aot one shots
⚠️TW: Mentions of violence: gun shot, blood, bruises⚠️
I didn’t process the click of the trigger until I saw red seeping through my shirt. A sharp sting in my abdomen made me bite my tongue and fall to my knees. I looked down to see red liquid spurting out in chunks and I couldn’t resist the urge to gag. Waves of pain hit me instanously as I stumbled to the ground. This was it. After years of fighting this was the end. I was about to die. My mind, gripped with the acceptance of death and the fear of leaving my loved ones had me breaking down in the worst of ways. I’m not scared of death, but I don’t want to die. Living the life of a vigilante had its downfalls, but being alive for years in this type of work made me feel like everything would be okay; guess I was wrong.
I let out an exasperated groan, unpleasantly ripping my shirt and ignoring the fact that I was exposing myself in a alley while hiding from my murderer. My lower stomach was engulfed in blue and purple patches, bruised and bloodied from the fights I had to endure for so long. I took a piece of my ripped shirt and tried to apply pressure to the bullet wound. I cursed in a short breath, I had lost too much blood already. My back was against a concrete wall and my sight was slowly becoming a blur.
“Hah, so this is how it ends.”
I scrunched my eyes, fighting to stay conscious and taking in deep breaths to try and reduce the immense pain. The people who walked passed me were oblivious to the fact that someone was bleeding to death. Minutes passed and it seemed that the world had stopped. That’s when someone appeared.
“Fuck, what happened to you.”
2nd pov
Striking hazel eyes and blonde hair adored a face of a boy no older than seventeen. He would’ve looked like an angel if it wasn’t for his face contoured in a mix of emotions.
“You shouldn’t be here, people are looking for me. Run.”
That was all the bleeding woman could give out. Each word she said felt like knives cutting deeper into her.
“I can’t leave you like this, you need help, I can get you to help.”
The boy’s eyes formed tears but he didn’t cry. They were trained to not cry, but who wouldn’t when they were seeing their dying in their arms?
“We both know that I can’t go to a hospital,” the woman cracked out, she was fine going out, but not with her watching.
“I taught you to be strong in this world
“No, please don’t say stupid shit like that, please don’t leave me!”

Mikasa Ackerman x Female reader
Words: 1,120
Author's notes: This change pov a lot so please bear with it!
Warnings: angst
Summary: Reader and Mikasa get into a mini argument which involves the reader walking out
Third Pov
Silence Filled the room. The raven haired girl sat coiled with tension clearly uncomfortable with the silence. She stared at her lover, who was just playing with her food with a frown on her face. Mikasa shifted in her seat and cleared her throat before starting a conversation, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.
Mikasa cleared her throat before saying, “So, how was work?”
“Alright,” Came the muffled reply.
“Anything exciting happen?”
The (H/c) girl shrugged, not even looking up from her food to look at her girlfriend. Mikasa’s lips pursed together in a thin line, worried about what dreadful thing could be lurking in her girlfriend’s mind. Her eyes trailed down to her lover’s full plate which was still being played with. She looked at (y/n)’s face which signaled that her lover had no intention of eating anytime soon.
“You’re not eating. Do you not like it?”
She shrugs again. “Just not hungry.”
There was definitely something wrong, anyone could see that, but what exactly was wrong was a whole other question.
“You know you can talk to me if anything’s wrong, right?”
“Sure.”
“Are you sure everything’s ok?”
The (h/c) girl finally stopped playing with her food, dropping her fork - that she had been using to play with her food - in the process, and looked directly at Mikasa with a glare, obviously trying to hint to her to just drop the question.
“I said I’m fine.”
“You don’t look-.”
(Y/n) stood up and slammed her hands on the table. “I said I’m fine!”
The raven haired girl looked taken aback, clearly not expecting that sudden outburst. Her eyes widened in shock, before turning into an angry look.
“Don’t raise your voice at me!”
“Then stop asking me the same question as if I’m a child and can’t understand you! I’m FINE!”
(Y/n) stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind them, leaving their girlfriend in an awkward silence.
Mikasa's Pov
All I’m trying to do is let her feel as though she can talk to me about what’s bothering her and not keep it bottled inside. I try to help her by pointing out her mistakes and asking her what’s wrong when she seems upset about something, but if I do she just glares at me and goes quietly to her room, only to hear seconds later that she’s punching either the wall or her bed to release her frustration when I was just trying to support her.
(Y/n)'s pov
She just doesn’t understand that I can deal with my problems by myself and that I just want to be left alone most of the time. She sees one frown on my face and immediately assumes the worst and that something is wrong and that I need to tell her. Even with me glaring at her she just can’t get the hint!!
Third pov

My #1 post of 2022
Eren Jaeger x female reader
Requested: No
Summary: You have admired Eren for a long time and when he gets put in jail, for some reason you feel guilty so you go and see him. After one conversation you decide to free him and he gives you something in return!
Warnings: Smut
Words: 1,982
For a long time you have admired Eren, and have always wanted him to notice you. At least just a little bit. Even though he's betrayed the Survey corps you couldn't help but to still respect him. As soon as you saw him being put into a cell though, you couldn't help the rising guilt that sweeps through your body. To try and at least overcome a bit of your guilt, you went down to his cell to see if he needed any help, which you hoped for more than anything, even if that was how you got his attention.
Once you get down to the cells you see him. The person who you yearned to notice you. Eren Jaeger. The first thing you immediately took notice of his appearance was that he was shirtless. You felt your blood rush up to your cheeks as you continued to gaze at his six pack which glistened with sweat. You however also noticed that he seemed to be mad about something.
You were now started to rethink your decision of coming down here. Maybe you shouldn't of decided to come down here. Eren seemed to be very angry about something and you did not want to be in his way in fear of him being even more annoyed by your presence, which was something you most definitely did not want happening.
You turned around to leave but by then it was already too late.
"Hey! Come here."
Your eyes widened in surprise when the words left his mouth. Your legs stood stiff for a couple of seconds due to you still being shocked. Could this be how he finally notices you?
You eventually managed to move your legs and turned around to face the prisoner. You then slowly walked up to his cell, you legs slightly trembling due to you being nervous. Your heart started pounding uncontrollably in your chest as Eren started to walk closer to the bars as well. You looked up into his bright green emerald eyes, never taking your eyes off them.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
You started stuttering. You couldn't form your words properly due to you being terrified of his intimidating demeanour. You finally took a breath in and told Eren the reason why you were at the prison area. To try and help him.
Eren touches the bars that separated you both nd comes as close as he can. He reaches his hand out, grips your shirt and pulls you towards him. Out of instinct your eyes closed tightly as your chest now touched the iron bars.
"What do you think you can help me with exactly? Huh?"
You groped onto the hand that clenched your shirt and with all the strength you had, tried to yank him off, but he was much stronger than you.
"I'm trying to help you cause I feel bad," you truthfully admitted still trying to escape Eren's right grip. "I want to help but I don't know how. "
Eren finally let's go of your shirt which results to you falling to the ground. As you sat there trying to fix yourself, you noticed Eren squat down to your eye level and stare into your (e/c) hues.
" Yes maybe you can help me, but what do you want in return? Obviously nobody does anything for free nowadays. So what do you want?"
The first thing that came to your mind made your cheeks the colour of beetroot. Embarrassed, you looked down to the ground.
You could feel Eren's eyes widen a bit as he discovered what you wanted.
Eren stands up and reaches his hand towards you for you to take.
"Here, take my hand."
You reach and grab onto his hand as he pulls you up. As soon as you do Eren let's go of your hand much to your dismay and starts to pace around his cell.
"I can get you out of your cell," you timidly said, breaking the eerie silence.
Eren sits on his bed in the cell and slowly looks at you with a blank expression.
"You do that and you got yourself a deal," he finally replied.
You give Eren a quick smile before leaving the prison area in search of the keys.

Guys Marvel never explained why the team carried Pietro onto the aircraft instead of leaving him in Sokovia, his literal home.
I would honestly be shocked if anybody in the writer's room actually considered the open ended unexplained endings of Pietro/Peter Maximoff's (or even Ralph's) character in Age of Ultron and Wandavision.
As far as I could tell, there was absolutely no reason to carry him onto the aircraft because they didn't give him a funeral or memorial or even a second mention for 6 years. They leave crumbs and then forget about them. It sucks and I hate it too but please manage expectations because they've been burning Pietro Maximoff stans for years and as you can see, its hard to break a habit.
I'm saying this not to be mean but because I genuinely don't want other people to experience the disappointment that I've been experiencing for 7 years now. It's exhausting. It's infuriating and at this point it's made me lose hope.
I find my hope in the fans of Quicksilver because they are far more respectful and dedicated to the character than anybody on the writing team in the MCU or 20th Century Fox. I've tried to build a community of Quicksilver fans and surround myself with those fans to kind of cushion the disappointment that I feel whenever a project comes out where all these rumors insist that Pietro Maximoff is coming back and then I watch the movie and there's not even a mention of him. It has happened time and time again and they have had every opportunity to bring him back, especially now that 20th century Fox is one of Disney's properties now.
Quicksilver fans, please manage your expectations and know that this has been going on for 7 years. We need to stop being at each other's throats about whether or not it should be Aaron Taylor-Johnson or Evan Peters and just unite under the fact that they screwed us both in the end.
Please be kind to one another and to all the Evan Peters fans, I see you and feel your disappointment. The way they wasted him was ridiculous. The way they ended his character by making it into a joke is infuriating. The frustration you're feeling is exactly what many Quicksilver fans felt immediately after Age of Ultron and what you're feeling in Multiverse of Madness is how we felt after Civil War. They set up to bring back Pietro Maximoff and they never did. They set up to bring Peter Maximoff and they never did. So please be kind to each other and stop fighting with each other on who is the better Quicksilver. No matter who you think the better one is, we're constantly getting screwed over anyway and we are getting angry at the wrong people.

Eeek.
Well, they’re not wrong. Not at all. I’m glad to see more than just mindless praise like what I was expecting.
And, ngl, there were parts of TFatWS I liked. There was a hell of a lot of promise in the premise. When Sam and Bucky were just allowed to be friends, to vibe together, fixing the boat? That was good. But I am SO glad to see that others have taken notice of the problems in the story and how it was handled, and that it could have been so much better.
Believe it or not? I had wanted this show to succeed.
See, we need stories that do what TFatWS attempted to do. And it attempted to tell a story that tackled the race issues that the rest of the MCU had tried to pretend didn’t exist. It at least attempted to make a nod to Bucky getting therapy. It wanted to address the Isaiah Bradley story, and systemic inequality in a post-blip world. And then it failed.
But that’s the problem.
Any time a story attempts to tackle a story that diverges from a tried-and-true formula (aka, marketed entirely to white people/dudebros) and fails? It’s blamed instead on the subject of the story. It’s blamed on being about something other than a cishet white dude. It’s blamed on anything BUT the actual problems: that a story that was going to handle these topics well was going to be sabotaged by the people in charge, and that Disney wanted to use TFatWS as a vehicle to introduce Thunderbolts instead of actually doing its leads justice.
We’ve had a handful of female lead superhero movies in the 80s and 90s and 00s. Almost all of them crashed and burned for a number of reasons, but always their failures were blamed on them being female lead. Wesley Snipe’s Blade trilogy was the first breakthrough Marvel movie after a ton of duds in the early 00s, but most credit Iron Man as the first until you remind them that Blade was a Marvel property. The problems were often that the writing was bad, or there was no clear direction- often the same things that fucked over the Fantastic Four, or the weirdness of the later Superman movies, or even Superman Returns. Hell, almost no one remembers the first Captain America movie (or that it was actually a theatrical release in the 90s please don’t look it up, or do if you are happily drunk. It is that bad.)
Point being, there were just as many white lead duds as minority lead. More, even. But their failures were not blamed on the leads being a minority, or being about minorities- which, inevitably, is why I doubt we’ll actually see a second season of TFatWS, and why Cap 4 will be an ensemble movie because the higher ups at Marvel don’t want to bother with telling Sam’s story. And why they’ll probably kill Bucky in the next few movies. It sucks. I hope I’m wrong. But the uneven, bad writing and focus will never be addressed, and nothing will get fixed.
Which is a crying shame, because Sam and Bucky and the rest of the side characters that were hanging on after Endgame should have their stories told- not just be vehicles for introducing others.

Top Forty Thor-Being-Thor Moments from Thor 1
just absolute dumb*ssery that this 7yr old kid’s life goal is to “hunt down the monsters and slay them all”. I’ll go easy on him here and let the Thor/Loki expressions do the talking because of “...just like you did Father” but seriously can his hands even fit around a sword handle??? this kid isn’t even punching the air right??? if there was a sword in his hand he would’ve cut his head with the way he’s moving???? pure tiny-himbo energy here just look at that >:o face he’s making. contrasts very nicely with Loki’s ‘,:|. 10/10. such a baby idiot.
“the jotuns must pay for what they have done! they broke into the weapons vault! if the frost giants had stolen even one of these relics!” thor. thor please. can you even name one of these relics. thor. hey thor. thor. shut up. “well, what would you do about this?” odin asks him. “march into jotunheim! like you once did! break their spirits! so they’ll never try anything like this again!” wow okay so we’ve fast-forwarded by like a thousand years and thor is still going on about genocide. huh. that’s funny, i thought loki was the genocidal one. hmm. i also just realized that the loki exclusive clip gives loki the same hairstyle thor has here so do what you will with that information.
0/10. horrible. terrible. i dont care how angy thor is about not getting to kill some jotuns or become king today this very instant, that is a tremendous waste of food. an absolute fool. how can he just remorselessly throw the bread to the floor. if loki stabbed him when he was 7 he would deserve it for this table flip alone. what a privileged white *ssh*le.
loki came skulking around a corner and suggested not to go to jotunheim and not only did thor not suspect anything but he also then went on to decide to go to jotunheim. 10/10 himbo material.
if tumblr didn’t have a picture limit i would put every instance of thor smiling in this list because look at that stupid smile. he’s such an idiot. 11/10. this is the thor content i’m here for.
“I have no plans to die today” thor says with the stupidest open-mouthed smirking smile ever captured on film. right after he also told heimdall not to tell anyone they’re gone. he’s literally planned to strand them on jotunheim. thor’s grand plan was to strange themselves on jotunheim and also start a fight. i repeat: thor’s plan was to successfully slay all the frost giants and not need to return until they’re all gone. what an absolute d*mb*ss. this is getting ridiculous. this was originally a top-ten-thor moments list but i’m not even twenty minutes in so i’ll have to extend the list. thor. thor are you listening? thor, you’re such an idiot.
“HOW DID YOUR PEOPLE GET INTO ASGARD?!” thor you sweet sweet summer idiot, please, i am beggin,g you,, learn to rea,d , a room,, literally everyone else who came with you is regretting it, there is complete silence and only the rumble of the opposing king is meeting your “I AM THOR, SON OF ODIN”s, please, please take some notes from Loki, or, you know, literally anyone else in the room, since everyone is asking you to get out of this realm while you still can,
thor’s stupid smile makes an appearance after he gets called a princess and decides to fight a whole realm over it. you know what? thor is a princess. he’s the prettiest princess in all the lands. what’s thor gonna do about it? is he going to fight me too? I hope he does the stupid grin first. minus 15 points for the sexism. thor is a complete and utter sadistic fool who needs to get a hobby. seriously, he’s 1500 years old and still going on and on about slaying all the frost giants. boi, i hate to break it to you, but your dad is not the best or only example of greatness out there. i don’t think your dad even qualifies as an example of that.
“THEN. GO!” 🥰 ahh yes, just thor thingz 🥰🥰 like when one friend has had his arm burnt 🥰 and another friend has been impaled and needs medical attention, 🥰🥰 and all the rest of your friends are yelling for you, 🥰 and your brother is telling you they must go, 🥰 and you decide to buy everyone time by laughing maniacally and killing more frosties because you care for them and dont find joy in destruction like a loon 🥰🥰🥰
THIS is the iconic Thor moment that makes my day whenever I think about it. Just Thor, an absolute bumbering 6′6′’ giant boodlusting dummy sees Odin and just decides to yell “FATHAA!! WE’LL FINISH THEM TOGETHAAA!” as if the last thing Odin told him wasn’t “no, thor, we’re not going to do anything to the frost giants, do not go after them and try to kill them all.” 11/10 d*mb*assery right here folks, I couldn’t ask for Thor to be more of a fool. This is PEAK Thor energy. Look at that face. I feel like Thor spends half this movie with his nostrils flared. I love it.
okay i gotta give thor credit for rightfully calling odin “an old man and a fool” but also there was not even 1 frame of the scene where Thor had a decent face so now all i see is >:O >:| >:o >:[ when i watch that scene. yelling at odin was great, not yelling at odin after he HUAERGHed at loki was less great, but to be fair it’s thor and he is the definition of Peak D*mb*ss.
thor literally GROWLS and starts yelling “HAMMAA?? HAMMER??” over and over. He was hit by a van, he fainted, he woke up and started growling. I don’t know what else there is to say about this.
“you dare threaten me? puny human?”. so. uhh. basically. Thor knew she was threatening him? He KNEW she had a weapon? instead he made a face and started yelling as he tried to walk his way closer????? thor you complete and utter dum dum. you frickin hairball-for-brains. im not even surprised darcy tasered him. with that kind of face, i’d taser him too.
when you wake up in an unknown place to a person smiling at you without a stupid smile, the first step is always to attack first and ask questions later 😌😌😌 (but seriously thor you imbecile why didn’t you ask where you were instead of throwing multiple people around the room and getting your butt needled. you clueless buffoon. you’ll remain a clueless buffoon if you don’t listen to anyone.)
just a quick recap but thor was knocked unconscious by a van and these people kidnapped him aboard and the next scene we see him in he’s checking himself out in mirror after presumably changing right there in the open?????? these are the things that make thor thor. any other character and i’d question it so much, but this is thor, and i truly believe this is in-character for him. just change in the open because why not? thor is a beefcake and that’s his only redeeming quality and he knows it. 10/10 thor moment.
I am now convinced that Thor saw Jane and “5k van-hitter to lover slow-burn height-difference himbo-scientist trope” flashed through his mind.
“but no more smashing!” Jane says, and then Thor proceeds to check her out and smile unlike an idiot and like a douche. was this his version of flirting???? i’m not one to decide, but yes, yes it was. He threw a cup to the ground and broke it, and she’s getting mad at him and berating him about it, and he’s liking it. y’all i’m sorry to break it to you like this, but thor has a canon fetish. i am so, so sorry.
im DYING. THAT ISN’T EVEN A KISS, HIS MOUTH IS OPEN. he SMUSHES his mouth around her knuckle???? WHY. I can’t keep noticing things like this. send help. please. Jane’s response makes so much more sense now; she’s laughs for a solid 3 seconds and shakes her head and is like “uhh, thank you? ahaha,” and then she keeps looking back longingly when walking away. they are doing this in PLAIN sight of EVERYONE. Darcy and Erik are standing RIGHT THERE, and Thor is doing weird things to her with his mouth. I’m out. I am done here. goodbye.
return of the stupid smile AND the douche smile in quick succession through the entire trip. their entire dialogue is peppered with innuendo. “I’ve never done anything like this before. have you ever done anything like this before?” “many times, but you are brave to do it.” “I have nothing else to lose.” “ah but you are clever, far more clever than anyone else on this realm.” “realm? rEaLm?” “you think me strange?” “yes” “good strange or bad strange?” “I haven’t decided yet.” I AM DYING OVER THIS. plus, we get Return Of The Himbo with Jane asking after Einstein Rosen bridges and Thor is like “uh, actually, more like a rainbow bridge 😜🤪” i feel so sorry for jane here, didn’t know how much of a d*mb*ss Thor was when signing up for this van-trip and knuckle-sucking 😭😭😭 i also no longer have questions about how the trip that SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HALF-HOUR ONE turned into one that LASTED TILL THE SUN WENT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SKY TO SETTING by the time they arrived. I have no questions. please. I don’t want to know what they were doing in that van. please no. don’t make me think about it.
thor’s plan had 3 steps and they were 1. give jane his jacket 2. walk in and get his hammer 3. fly out. that was literally his plan. he had the first “I have a plan. attack.” moment in the MCU. pure concentrated 0-brain-cells energy right here. how can you not stan this king of d*mb*ssery. look at him, flaunting his big boy muscles. he’s about get his hammer and fly out, like he just told jane with a trademark stupid-smile.
crop-top hair-mop thor is my favourite thor. the way the entire fight scene parallels a hamster in a maze only exemplifies the thor vibes for some inexplicable reason.
“you’re big. fought bigger.” + Thor douche-smile + subtext from earlier + rolling around passionately in the mud = not a happy me.
I swear i’m not making up this romantic subtext but it’s barely even subtext. the entire scene leading up to Thor’s attempt at lifting the hammer is actually filmed erotically. I’m not kidding. First there’s a shot where Thor pulls aside a hamster-cage-wall blind which mirrors a shower-curtain, and THEN he walks around the hammer while smiling douche-ly at it, we get a few close-ups to his face which are shot from angles slightly lower than himself, giving him an aire of superiority, plus the music adds to this, he reaches out for the hammer’s handle with a mud-covered arm in the rain, in non-slow-motion slow-motion, and he wraps his arm around it, like, he fully twists his arm, unecessarily sexually, around it as he grabs the hammer. This is not okay. On the plus side, it makes the movie much more entertaining,, on the down side,,.
im not going to call Thor dumb for not knowing he’s not worthy. im not going to. because odin literally whispered the enchantment to mjolnir after he’d thrown thor to midgard. it is very funny watching thor grunt in frustration though. he starts yelling because he couldn’t lift the hammer and just lets himself get caught. like, dude, get a life, go buy a new weapon from the store, seriously. he mourns for the hammer on-screen longer than he does for loki. he also looks like he’s in far more pain here. he becomes catatonic and unresponsive after this, but when loki dies he’s already feasting the same afternoon. 10/10 dum dum thor material. never change thor, never change. (that’s code for please change, thor, please,)
thor trying to establish dominance wherever he goes is the funniest thing because at this point he’s being a complete asgardian *ss about it and it’s reaching points of pettiness never seen before. side note: he is possibly flirting with selvig too. maybe. i’m not saying anything happened, but Thor’s openning lines when bringing him home carried over his shoulder are “he’s fine, not injured at all,” followed with an apology to selvig, and an explanation to jane which consisted only of “we drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud,” and then he puts the man to bed and before he falls asleep erik says “i still don’t believe you’re the g*d of th*nder, but you ought to be,” so... your choice, i guess...
thor’s got his trademark stupid smile and stupidly takes jane’s life’s work notebook and starts doodling in it about trees. the last time his father told him this story about Yggdrasil was when he was 5 and he clearly hasn’t payed attention to any lesson about anything since and it shows so so much. thank you thor. very insightful knowledge you’re passing on hear. ‘i come from a world where [science and magic] are one and the same,’ ok great, now elaborate on that please. oh, right, you can’t because you’re thor, my bad, 20/10 thor behaviour. he couldn’t even doodle nicely. all his lines are wobbly. epic art fail. i wouldn’t trust him near my sketchbook with a 2B pencil.
THIS is thor’s realization face. in case anyone was interested in what ‘dawning truth’ looked like on him. 😰😪 THIS is the face of a thinker, of a man betrayed by his own beloved brother for unprecedented reasons. look at the nuance in his expression. 😩😩😩 so many emotions, I can’t even count them all 😩💯😪
stupid smile and “do not worry my friends, i have a plan,” he says, “i’ll just try and abuse the fact that Loki’s super selfless and kind and has no self worth to my benefit as i have countless times before which is exactly what he’s rightfully angry about this time,” he doesn’t think to himself because that is NOT the smile of someone who is thinking... like, at all. +10000 points to gryffinthor. the d*mb*ssery really jumps out.
“im sorry bro for whatever i did and whatever you’re blaming me for as an excuse to do this, im sorry bro, but you’re disturbing innocents that i don’t really care about but you’re the one making a scene in front of them so why don’t you admit you won’t kill me and are just having a temper tantrum and we move on? hmm?” and then he proceeds to get slam dunked in the face with a metal arm like yEAAAA BOI that’s what you GET for going up against the SENTIENT LAVA-SPEWING metal-man ya absolute dunderhead clod. thunderhead clod? yeah, that. he’s just so dumb, your honour, please, you must understand, the victim pleads guilty on all charges of d*mb*ss and d*mb*ss alone.
I can NOT describe the emotions I feel knowing that Thor is suck-kissing Jane’s knuckles. Like, his mouth is literally jelly-ing it up against her hand. There is suction there and it shows when he is placing and removing his mouth. I promise that’s what is happening. I’m not any happier than you about this. I regret everything. This is why Loki should be what is focused on and not Thor; Thor’s going around trying to frick frack everything in sight even if it’s just Jane’s hand. He’s maintaining eye contact with Jane while he licks her fingers. Why did I decide to rewatch this movie.
i’m only adding this in as a thor moment because of how desperately and badly they kiss. seriously. 2/10 kiss. im not surprised jane broke up with him. they look like two actual seals fighting over an actual grape. while i’m here i’m going to criticize every fic ever that decided thor is an experienced gentle lover. what were y’all on when watching this movie. thor can and will f*ck literally everything in sight and he won’t even do it well because he is the peakest of peak d*m d*m. look at this man. look at his face. that is the face of an absolute himbo idiot, and it’s the face of an absolute himbo idiot who knows it. he’s been stranded on earth for 2 days, max, and his flirt-count is at 69 people because his name is one letter away from thot. i bet his terrible use of a pen from early means he writes his ‘r’s like ‘t’s and he doesn’t even care. 1000/10 thor moment. doesn’t get much more romance-thor than two individuals smooshing their faces together after some finger sucking. that finger sucking is gonna leave jane simping for years. and that’s true love babey. <3
“I’ll handle my Brother!” Thor says, as if Loki didn’t send a metal-murder-bot that quite virtually killed him less than ten minutes ago asdfhkhsdgsdjf Thor, you horrific himbo you, Loki’s weapon of choice is literally throwing knives he will literally kill you before you enter the room if he’s on his game and wants you dead which he just proved he would do and you’re just gonna???????????? jog on over to him????? Thor??????????? bruH???????????? buddy??????? pal???????? you really wanna go 1v1 the brother you very clearly underestimate and know nothing about????????????????? im loving the confidence, but, no.
Loki: “you literally can’t stop this from here.” Thor, immediately: “i’m going to hit it with the hammer and see if that works” and then it does in fact work later... technically speaking, even if it ends up causing chaos destruction and death and loki falling off the bifrost 😔😔😔 but Big Brain Thor is the Biggest Brained Thor!!! The plan worked!! in a messy-Thor-ish way, but it did!!!
“you can’t kill an entire race!!!!” Thor yells, teeth gritted, as he faces his brother, his coward pacifist brother, who has suddenly decided he wants to join the age-old family tradition of realm-destroying, when this is supposed to be Thor’s dream, Thor’s, not Loki’s. How dare he, Thor thinks to himself, fist clenched around Mjolnir in anger, the pain of the handle pressing against his palm perhaps the only thing preventing him from lashing out at this thought, that’s my planet of monsters to slay, he should go get his own! Loki hits Thor across the face with the back-end of his spear. “Now fight me,” Loki says, but Thor, well, Thor cannot fight, as he remains stunned that of all things Loki would dare steal his life’s ambition, and he is sent sprawling backwards across the observatory, slowly but surely sliding to a stop despite his catatonic, very symbolic silence.
the elegance, the poise, i see your time on earth has made you no less graceful, Thor. the simple magnitude of this sprawl. the spread of the arms. the turn of the feet. this is not a dude, this is a man.
sometimes your brother starts vehemently talking about he’s gonna kill the race of monsters and about how he’s only ever wanted to be your equal and about how he’s not your brother and never was and sometimes you just have to say “this is madness” instead of addressing the issues or asking for any of the deets 🔥 👊💯😩
Loki is whipping Thor’s butt. Both literally, and metaphorically, Loki is whooping Thor’s d*mb*ss. Earlier he knicked Thor’s face, now he’s just pushing Thor around, he uses the spear as a pole and later kicks Thor’s face by kicking vertically up, and Thor, bless him in all his blond golden muscled glory, doesn’t think anything is up with this, gosh he’s such an absolute utter idiot
sometimes your brother laughs way too much and also cries too much in a fight and there are also too many of him so you just need to blast lightning so you get a shot at all of them 😌😌😌 and then put your magical infinitely-heavy hammer on his chest 😌😌😌 but it’s okay because Thor left holes in Loki’s container 😌😌😌
now THIS is the meat to Thor’s funny bone, just the pure unadulterated humour that is Thor saying that there will never be a “wiser king” or a “better father” than Odin, it cracks me up every single time without fail, just the way he says it with a straight face and— what do you mean he wasn’t joking
look at Thor’s stupid smile as he asks Heimdall to spy on jane every single day while conveniently never asking after Loki ever. This is Thor’s face in mourning after he attended a feast after everyone was celebrating after Loki’s death. Look at his stupid smile. I love him your honour. He’s just,, he’s just so frickin stewpeed, just Thor being Thor, just the purest of d*mbest of *sses.
#listen#if people can interpret loki and the grandmaster as a thing when loki spends the entire time looking uncomfortable about every situation#then i can interpret thor as flirting with people when there are actual canon questions which get solved when other explanations dont work#so#dont mind me here#in conclusion: thor is a dum dum idiot and it's *chef's kiss*#thank you for coming to my ted talk#ThisPostIsLongerThanMyLifeSpan#TPILTMLS#Language!#language#im one of those people who comments on things through movies but you can't be mad because it's worth it and i've got points#obviously writing means i can get the full gist of the comments out without summarizing#but#like#my family is simply underappreciative and i'm a genius

Loki Series Thoughts—Glorious Purpose
Ok, I’m always nervous about posting my thoughts, but here we go. Spoilers ahead of course!!! (Disclaimer: Any gifs or images are not mine.)
Let’s start out with the episode’s name: Glorious Purpose. I know some people were a bit miffed about the emphasis put on the line, but I actually thought it worked well. It’s not so much that Loki actually believes in this “purpose,” but rather he is clinging to what he’s been told his purpose is. And by the end of the episode, he’s finally working through some of the things he’s been hurt by, abandoning what he’s been forced into and ready to be who he wants. Granted, it’s still going to take some time for him to come to grips with all that has happened, but I’m excited to see the journey.
The TVA. They undeniably suck. Whether or not it will be addressed directly, they are the (or one of the) antagonists in the show. What they are doing is, frankly, tyrannical. Three “time keepers” have taken it upon themselves to force countless versions of time and people into one single stream. And you know what? They can’t control that timeline. Not like they want to. As much as Loki’s line about “the weak” applies to himself, it applies to the TVA, too. It’s a facade of control that they cling to; if they truly had the right, the ability, to control time, everyone would follow their path. There would be no variants. Now, I could write a whole separate analysis on the MCU’s explanation of time travel. It’s convoluted and in a large way doesn’t make sense.
I’d like to talk about Loki’s characterization. I am, in a word, relieved. From the trailers, Tom seemed to be over-acting, something rather strange for someone so good at conveying deep emotions through nuanced actions. Now I believe any exaggerated lines from the trailers are just Loki trying to separate himself from who he’s been told he is, and trying to reinvent himself. I don’t think that’s a bad thing either; they’re not rewriting Loki, he’s just growing in a new way. And though this way is “new” I think it will be similar to what we’ve seen before. From what we’ve seen so far, there is good continuity, and they are addressing things about Loki that should be addressed in canon.
Loki projects. Most notably in the Avengers, but also a bit in Thor 1 and The Dark World, a lot of Loki’s lines can be applied to himself, though he is talking generally or towards another group. What comes to mind is actually something he touches upon again in the series. The illusion of freedom. And though it is not said that line in particular is him thinking of himself, it can be inferred based on his admission that the line in the gifs above apply to him. Also that little gesture when he says “weak” breaks me. He’s hurting so much.
Loki is not a villain. He may think he’s one because everyone else is telling him that, yet we’re already seeing it brought up that it’s not true. I can only hope that we’ll see Loki state this himself later in the series. He was largely forced to do what he did. It is not his fault, so how can he be a villain?
Loki cares. Tom’s acting is just *chef’s kiss* Seeing his mother’s death hurts so much. I love that his first response is denial. Loki is thrown into something he’s never known about before, being shown things that, to his knowledge, have never happened. But then when he’s had a few seconds to wander around the TVA on his own terms, he’s more come to grips with all that’s going on. So, when he’s by himself and see’s Frigga lying there, dead, it gets to him. Then seeing Odin still call him his son, he feels the slightest glimmer of hope, but also regret; he already knows in the back of his mind that he’s not actually going to get that. Loki’s living from second to second, trying to hold on. He probably thinks this ends with his death. (I do have issues with that Odin scene in context of Ragnarok but that’s more a tangential aside, so I’ll gloss over it for now.) Then seeing Thor and himself acting like brothers again is heartwarming. So just when he’s feeling uplifted, Thanos comes into the picture. He realizes how much control the titan still had over his life; he never really escaped. And in the end, Thanos made good on his promise. And that is terrifying! And he laughs at it. It’s a sad sort of laugh, one that’s slightly crazed. Loki feels that no matter what he does, it ends in pain. By the end of seeing all that, he is a man broken. Rather, more broken than he already was.
Loki is struggling. That’s nothing profound; it’s obvious. But where it really stands out to me is actually in a part I originally thought to be out of character. I am referring to “What if I was a robot and I didn’t know it.” Upon closer inspection, I realize it’s actually that his perception of himself has been so thrown that he really isn’t sure about his own chemical makeup anymore. Odin and Frigga keeping from him that he’s a frost giant made him so unsure of himself, he thought he might not even be a living being.
Nervous tics. Was I the only one noticing his leg bouncing when he talked to Mobius? And what about that scene when he’s sitting on the steps? He begins to pick at his hands. Note, that’s something he did in T1 after finding out he was a frost giant and while confessing to the Warriors Four about how he was the one who told the guard of their trip to Jotunheim. Just a little detail I really appreciated. (If anyone has gifs of any of these things, feel free to share :)
Mobius. I’ll be honest, I’m a bit undecided. I’m hesitant to say he’s evil. After all, we haven’t seen that much of him yet. However, I will say he is unscrupulous and manipulative. His questions weren’t to help Loki work through his trauma. Mobius was trying to goad him into helping, and likely was trying to gauge how much this Loki is like the variant he’s tracking. When Loki makes any admission of his feelings, it’s something he already knew, not a conclusion Mobius helped him reach. Mobius mocks him a bit and pushes his buttons because he sees Loki as a means to an end, and wants to know how easily he can get him to work with him. And what strikes me is how similar Mobius’s deal is to Thor’s deal in TDW. Thor doesn’t offer Loki freedom, he offers revenge. Mobius’s deal is just another variation of this. He can’t offer “salvation” but he can offer something “better”. Working for the TVA really isn’t better, though. So what does he mean? Well, I think he means a chance for Loki to prove he’s a hero. I hope as the show progresses it’s addressed that Loki doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone. That’s what he’s been doing his whole life, but I want Loki to see for himself that he doesn’t have to.
Miss Minutes. Propaganda. Plain and simple, it’s propaganda. Besides the way it praises the “time keepers” as amazing saviors, necessary to keep the world in order, it’s essentially saying “don’t think for yourself.” The whole point of the video is “the time keepers are great. The TVA is flawless. Trust us to decide everything. You have no autonomy in the world we want, so surrender your free will. Submit to the system we’ve decided is perfect and everything will be just fine.” Of course, by “just fine” they mean the variant will be pruned and the timeline will keep going as the time keepers see fit. The animation style was great though! It really fit.
The infinity stones. I think their inclusion makes sense. If you remember from Endgame, the stones being in the right place in the right time keeps the timeline from branching, and thus prevents the multiverse from being created. Likely, the time keepers used the stones to make their “sacred timeline.” Naturally, any variant time stones would cause a problem. That’s why they have so many extras. But think about how pointless so much of what happened seems. Nat, Gamora, Vision, Tony, everyone who was snapped, everyone who was left. So, literally the entire universe was flipped upside down for paperweights. It really puts Thanos’s pursuit of the stones into perspective, doesn’t it?
The cloaked figure. I think there’s some misdirection going on here in one way or another. Mobius says he’s chasing a Loki variant, then immediately it cuts to a scene with the cloaked figure. Our minds are likely to assume that is the variant then. But they don’t actually say it’s Loki, so I’m inclined to believe it’s not. Though, I don’t have enough information to say who I do think it is, I could make a couple of educated guesses and say Mephisto (he certainly interacted with Loki in the comics, plus there’s the stained glass window) or Sylvie. Well, whoever Sophia Di Martino’s character is. I know she was previously listed as Sylvie on sources such as IMDb, but that has since disappeared. But why would you have a “young Sylvie” (Cailey Fleming) without an older version? There is speculation Di Martino’s character will be Lady Loki, but I hope this won’t happen. If they make Lady Loki her own character, I doubt we’ll see Variant Loki get to be fluid. Even if it’s confirmed on the record, it’d be nice to see actually happen beyond a piece of paper. And with twist villains being such a prominent force in modern media, I’m interested to see who our cloaked friend really is.
Time travel. Like I said earlier, this is a lot. But I can’t talk about the episode and not mention this aspect in at least a little more depth. I don’t like how the MCU deals with time travel. I think it’s an unnecessarily complicated mix of a number of different, already complicated theories. However, I think Loki will ultimately escape from the TVA and create a multiverse too difficult to prune (and maybe he’ll actually get to burn the place down too!) This will then tie directly into Doctor Strange 2. Do you guys know what that’s called? The Multiverse of Madness. Actually, in the Miss Minutes propaganda, they almost exactly say “will throw the multiverse into madness.” Will we get to (finally!) see a certain raven-haired god meeting Dr. Strange? And maybe even the Scarlet Witch herself? Well, I’m not sure, but right now I think it’s looking pretty good!
And some random things that didn’t really anywhere else:
Peggy is in the background?! My thought here is that Steve wasn’t supposed to stay with her. This made not only a Variant Steve, but also a Variant Peggy. We may not see Steve, but I bet he’s been taken care of too!! And who knows? Maybe there will be a cameo later. Otherwise, it might be something that was cut from the show, or just a fun easter egg of sorts.
The score was so good! It sets the mood perfectly.
Loki is a good fighter. Even if he’s overpowered, he finds a way.
Some of the humor didn’t land, but that might just be a personal thing.
So now my final thoughts. It’s their strongest pilot yet. So much emotion crammed into less than an hour. A lot of exposition, too, yet it didn’t feel tedious (Endgame I’m looking at you). And then we get to delve into Loki’s psyche, something that really appeals to me! Overall, 9/10. I hope the rest of the series is as good!
Did I miss anything? Was there something you were hoping I’d mention and didn’t? Or do you have something to add or (politely!) disagree with? I’d love to hear it all! Remember, fandom is a safe space to talk about, analyze, and debate about things you enjoy. My ask box is always open with anon on. Reblogs and comments are great too. Thanks!

What I found as I reread v4...
So, I finally gathered the energy to reread my, your, our beloved Doctor Strange v4, the same volume that I recommend to every new reader, that’s right.
And I insist: it’s one of the best Doctor Strange stories of all times. It’s a masterpiece. I really need to get this off my chest (and I’ll probably write a huuuuuuuuuuuge review at some point because, ugh, it’s so good?).
But for now I’m going to point out some details that I noticed after 5 years (that’s right, 5 years).
Note: Those details can be found in Doctor Strange v5 #1-10 (2015) by Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo. Check out the reading guide on the pinned post in case you haven’t read it yet.
1. He can’t cook but the reason is sadder than I first assumed
I thought he couldn’t cook because he was merely a himbo. I was wrong. He probably can’t even hold a knife without getting injured or something...
2. Nightmares and precarious health conditions
The reason why Stephen has odd habits is probably because he can’t sleep properly. That’s why he’s always tired and hates mornings. He’s also under constant pain because of his health conditions. He pukes A LOT all the time in v4, even though Wong and his order take care of the cost.
3. Wanda vs. Stephen? Please.
Plus this is one more panel starring Magik and Wanda. They’re ~FRIENDS~, connected by magic. Fuck House of M. Also fuck everyone else who foments any enmity among the three of them (this includes MCU fans who keep hating on Stephen). I’m done with this.
4. One more hint about different types of magic
What can I say? I stand corrected.
5. He’s willing to die - but there’s a catch
Stephen doesn’t mind sacrificing his own life in order to save the world. But he also ~wants~ to die because he’s been hurting for SO long. Magic is quite painful in v4. He keeps saying his life is miserable. He keeps saying the pain in his organs is excruciating. However, here lies the dilemma: he’s the Sorcerer Supreme. He cannot retire and he cannot pass this burden down to an apprentice. No one deserves such pain. Maybe only Stephen does. So he endures it, hoping that death will take him soon enough, finally easing the pain. (I’m not crying haha who said that?)
6. He took archery classes with Hawkeye
And he sucks lmao
7. The beard
When Empirikul first strikes, Stephen is wearing his usual moustache in issue #7. The next issue, we see a Stephen who needs shaving. In issue #9, after a few days on the run, he displays a full beard and keeps it for the rest of the whole run.
8. Not his daughter!
V4 is awesome when it comes to exploring Stephen’s relationship with Zelma and Wong, but so little is shown about the other sorcerers. One thing that I know for sure is, Chris Bachalo loves Illyana as much as he loves Stephen (after all, he was also the penciler for Uncanny X-Men, the very volume in which Illyana becomes Stephen’s daughter apprentice). I don’t know how familiar Aaron is with the other sorcerers except for Stephen. Whether or not this panel was Bachalo’s idea, I simply adore this. The Empirikul chooses Illyana as their first victim to be burned. And Stephen would certainly react this way to anyone else in her shoes. However, it’s special, isn’t it? Because Illyana is dear to him. More than any other magic being. Because she was the only apprentice who stayed and survived. Who didn’t end up hurt by his actions. She’s a tough girl but, more than that, she’s the only bond that survived the experience. He cares about her very much. If anything happened to Illyana, he would never ever forgive himself. He already blamed himself for Empirikul and Monako’s death. But Magik? Nope. He couldn’t bear it.
9. Is this depression?
This topic here... I’ll just leave it for my very detailed and passionate review.
Until there... See ya!

Have You Got A Minute?
Words: 1006
Warnings: Smut, Dirty Talk, Swearing, think that’s it :)
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader
Characters: Dean Winchester, Reader, Mentions of Sam Winchester
Summary: You and Dean hadn’t been intimate in a long time thanks to hunting, however one day of research becomes too much.
A/N: This is for the lovely @ne-gans Seven Deadly sins challenge, my prompt was lust. Hope you like it my lovely! :) And thank you to @negans-lucille-tblr for being my beta :)
Ko-Fi - (HERE) :)
It had been a whole month since you and Dean had been intimate, not through choice, there had been no time. You look up at him, sitting at the other end of the room. He doesn’t even need to try, he’s flawless in your eyes. You miss having his big hands on you, his lips against yours, you miss the burn that his stubble left behind after he’d been between your legs, as he brought you to the edge again and again.
You bite into your bottom lip when he looks up, you feel your thighs clench together with the way he looks at you, that devilish smirk on his plump lips. You can’t take it anymore, there’s so much sexual tension between the two of you and this research has been going on for hours, you want him so fucking bad. You make sure Sam’s looking away and stand quietly, curling your fingers at Dean. You turn quickly and put an extra sway in your hips as you walk towards the bathroom.
You leave the door cracked open and quickly pull off your clothes, leaving yourself completely naked and jump up onto the counter. Watching as the door opens slowly, your heart thudding in your chest.
“Hey baby, you got a minute?” you purr seductively as he closes the door. He’s biting back a smile as he lets his eyes wander your body.
“Fuck sweetheart, for you, I’ve got all day.” He growls, stripping off his clothes with impressive speed. He steps towards you in two long strides and moves between your legs.
You shudder as those big hands grip your thighs and he tugs you closer to the edge of the sink.
His lips are crushing against yours before you can speak, and you can already feel the slick starting to gather between your thighs.
“Fuck, I missed you,” you gasp as he pulls away from your lips to let you breathe.
You wrap your legs around his back, feeling his cock nudging at your wet heat, nudging against your sensitive clit as he starts to rock his hips into you.
“Mmmm, missed you too princess.” He winks before ducking his head and sucking one of your hardened nipples between his lips.
You moan loudly and he presses a finger to his smirking lips, you lean back on your hands, keeping your attention on him. He pulls back from your tits with a wet pop and pulls your hips closer to the edge.
“Fuck me, Dean, I can’t wait anymore. I need you.”
“Couldn’t agree more,” Dean replies breathy and deep as he lines his cock up with your dripping entrance. “Still think you can take my big cock then baby? Been a long time.”
“Why don’t you just fuck me and find out, Winchester,” you challenge him, keeping your eyes locked on his.
He slips the wide head inside and your hands uselessly try and grip the counter.
“So tight baby, shit. Spread your legs for me. Wanna watch that pretty pussy take me.” You do as he asks, bringing your feet up to the edge of the counter the best you can. He slides in slowly, letting you feel every inch of his thick length.
“Didn’t really think about lettin’ me fuck you up here did you, you’re gonna feel me for days, sweetheart,”
Emphasising his point now you’re stuffed full of his cock, he presses against your stomach and you can feel his cock pressing tightly against your walls. When you look down you can see the slight outline of his length.
He pulls back and slowly slides back in. There’s a knock on the door and Dean starts to speed up, keeping his eyes locked on yours.
“Dean, stop. S-” You gasp when his hips slam into you and his cock is so deep your eyes roll. You slam a hand over your mouth, just managing to stop the scream.
Dean keeps his voice low as he speaks, “what’s wrong sweetheart, don’t want Sammy knowing how close you are to coming for me? Why don’t you answer him?” Dean smirks, his eyes daring you as he fucks you rough and hard, just like you’d needed. He already has you on the edge of orgasm and, clearly, he knows it.
You shake your head and whimper his name. "I...I can’t,” you just about manage to gasp out behind your hand.
“You can or I stop and come all over that pretty face,” he challenges, his own breathing off now.
You glare at him,and his hips slow as he raises an eyebrow. Swallowing hard, you lick your lips, trying to control your breathing.
“Sorry S-Sam, be right out.” You just about manage and you know how wrecked you sound.
“Umm, okay Y/N.” Sam says before you hear his footsteps fade down the hall.
“Oh fuck,” you all but squeak when he starts rubbing your clit with his free hand.
“See that wasn’t so hard was it? So desperate for my cock, ain’t you sweetheart?”
You nod with your lip between your teeth, letting it go as you toss your head back.
“Gonna come Dean, fuck, fuck, fuck!” You all but scream the last word as your orgasm slams into you.
Your thighs are shaking like crazy as Dean continues to fuck you through your high, your pussy pulsing repeatedly as he chases his own. “That’s my girl, fuck, I love how much you scream for me.” Dean grunts, his hips stuttering and you watch his hands white knuckling the counter.
He pulls you against his chest, face buried in your neck, sucking at your skin. Another rough thrust up into you and Dean falls apart, some of his release leaking down your thigh.
You're both panting hard when he pulls out and kisses you passionately, “I really needed that baby, thank you.”
He’s grinning at you like a child at Christmas and you can’t help but grin back, feeling yourself fall more in love with him if possible.
