☾ ii. part ii: a backstory(2/2)

In front of Illumi and Kikyo, Sayomi laid unconscious, bleeding through the cloth bandages from the torture she had received the other day, as well as her new wounds from the fight.

Despite her daughter’s current state, Kikyo was dissatisfied with the fight, now yelling at Illumi for going easy on his sister. She hadn’t realized that Sayomi had never even attempted to strike back against Illumi.

She was blinded by her hate and disgust towards her daughter, not even aware of what she was complaining about anymore. “You should have been harsher on her! She deserves nothing but pain for disgracing our family!”

Illumi’s eyes wavered at the sight of Sayomi crumpled on the grass in front of him. He felt sick to his stomach.

His mother’s words were nothing but empty shells to him, but the smallest amount of guilt struck his heart as he turned away from his sister to face his hysterical mother.

Now facing Kikyo, Illumi’s eyes seemed to darken and narrow with each insult that came out of his mother’s mouth. His right hand twisted and bundled the fabric of his training pants, materializing into a trembling, pale fist.

And though he wanted to express the pent up anger trapped within himself, he didn’t, as he knew it would only make things worse for Sayomi.

Instead, he chose to stand his ground without a word, only staring forward with a vacant gaze towards his mother.

Kikyo was about done screaming at her now two broken twins, and she clenched her jaw tight as she made her way to her fallen daughter, nails outstretched.

She was going to get rid of her insolent daughter.

Now having seen that Illumi was stronger than Sayomi, Kikyo saw no point in her daughter continuing on to disgrace the family name.

Her hand shot down to close around Sayomi’s neck, only to be stopped with a piercing shriek that she then recognized as her own.

Illumi had stepped between his mother and sister, shooting a hand out to stop his mother from harming Sayomi any further.

Unable to control the anger that was mixed in with his urgency to stop his mother, he had gripped too hard and snapped his mother’s wrist. There was a sickening crack as Kikyo cried out and hurriedly stepped away from the twins.

“ILLUMI! MY WRIST!” Kikyo stared at her son in horror, teeth grinding together as her wrist went limp by her side.

However, Illumi had already started off in the other direction, leaving his sister and mother behind as he made his way back to his room.

☾ ii.

Normally bright, vibrant violet eyes were hidden behind a set of full lashes and eyelids that seemed to be too heavy to budge. Sayomi wasn’t in the infirmary or her room, however.

The arrhythmic sound of a rumbling engine and tires rolling over uneven cement surrounded Sayomi in a barely conscious state.

Kikyo sat still in the back seat of one of the slick black cars owned by the Zoldycks. Her wrist remained limp on her lap, going unnoticed as she continued to stare ahead at the road in front of her.

On her left was a drained version of her daughter, still recovering from her unconsciousness and unable to open her eyes. The car was silent, eerily silent, as the butler drove on without a word.

The Zoldyck estate was now far behind them, as hills and abandoned lots passed with a blur moving on to unknown lands.

Three hours in, Sayomi’s eyelids lifted with much difficulty, as she struggled to keep them open. Her cheek rested on the smooth leather of the car door, her forehead pressing into the cool glass of the window.

Everything around her seemed hazy, but she was able to squint hard enough to see her own dishevelled reflection in the window, as well as the unfamiliar scenery that continued to pass by.

Focusing harder on the reflection in the window, Sayomi was able to spot her mother sitting beside her. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she moved to lift her head off of the car door.

Upon Sayomi’s movement, Kikyo turned to look at her daughter with distaste evident in her expression. “Good morning to you, Sayomi dear”.

Sayomi only acknowledged her mother’s words with a grunt, too exhausted to think or speak.

With a lack of urgency, Kikyo moved to retrieve something from the holder beside her, a glass bottle that seemed to contain water. Unscrewing the lid nonchalantly, she handed the bottle to the faint girl beside her. “Drink up dear, you must be exhausted.”

Although in the back of her mind, Sayomi questioned the sudden hospitality of her mother, she was much too fatigued to give the offer a second thought as she reached out for the bottle.

With a shaky hand, Sayomi accepted the drink with a soft “thank you”, taking a swig of the liquid without hesitation.

The drugs Kikyo had mixed into the water were odorless and flavorless, but Sayomi had endured countless forms of harmful substances and immediately sensed something was off.

Noting the small cringe evident in her daughter’s face, Kikyo made quick work of pinching Sayomi’s nose closed, forcing her to choke and swallow the drugs.

Sayomi gasped for air as she dropped the bottle in her hand, the contents spilling over the floormats beneath her feet.

She whipped her head to see her mother smiling contently, and started to speak when the lights went out for Sayomi for the second time that day.

☾ ii.

Kikyo was cruel. And without her husband or father in law there to stop her, she was unhinged and acted out against her daughter full of spite and pure hatred.

Ever since Sayomi was born, the attention of all the elders and family acquaintances shifted from the new woman of the Zoldyck family- Kikyo, to the bright bundle of joy- Sayomi, who displayed Silva’s features on her face like a mirror.

She was jealous of her own daughter, recalling all she had to go through to be accepted by the Zoldyck family herself, while Sayomi seemed to fit right into their legacy without having to even lift a finger.

The driver was well aware of their destination and felt like he was making the wrong decision by going through with Kikyo’s plans. But he knew the consequences of disobeying his employer and continued towards Meteor City, his two hands gripping tight on the wheel.

☾ ii.

Many different modes of transportation later, and the three arrived at Meteor City, their fancy clothes and car proving they didn’t belong in the waste that seemed to pile on infinitely.

Kikyo made no movements from her seat in the car, only gesturing with a single pale finger towards the butler. “Leave her here, please.”

The butler nodded and reached over to the passenger seat in order to retrieve something before moving to lift Sayomi out of her seat.

Sayomi was carried off to a somewhat clearer spot amidst the dump, her luminous white hair waving in the breeze as the butler left her leaning against what made out to be the rusty remnants of a fridge.

He held between his arm and side the katana Kikyo had brought with them. Placing it at Sayomi’s feet with a sigh, he bowed to the 10 year old still deep in sleep and wished her well.

Silently, the butler turned away from Sayomi and made his way back to the car, trudging through the waste and broken fragments of millions of lost items.

As he started the car to return back to the Zoldyck estate, the butler’s mind repeated a verse he had once heard through the many jobs he experienced.

It was the Meteor City motto: “We’ll accept anything you leave here, but don’t ever take anything away from us.”

The citizens of Meteor City were said to have a bond thinner than water and thicker than blood… How would Sayomi fit into this broken down community?

He wasn’t sure she could.

☾ ii.

Back at the Zoldyck mansion, Kikyo was met with the sight of about 50 butlers rolling on the floor in agony, needles sticking out from their faces and necks.

In front of the gate stood Illumi, his black eyes full of rage once again as he approached his mother. “I know what you’ve done, mother. The butlers gave me more than enough information.”

Kikyo only smiled at her son, unwavering at the mass amount of butlers he had taken down. “Good then, dear. I hope you’ve learned something from the consequences of your sister’s decisions.”

With that, she continued on past the devastated twin and into the mansion.

Illumi stood his ground, watching his mother leave him without any remorse for his other half, his twin.

A single tear slipped out from one of his eyes, running down his pale cheek to drip off of his jaw.

He would find Sayomi, no matter what. Even if he couldn’t right this moment, he would wait and save her when the time was right.

You’ll be alright Sayomi.

We’ve been through worse.

☾ ii.

Zeno and Silva returned from their mission late the next day. Just stepping towards the gate, both could feel the heavy atmosphere around them, in addition to seeing the sheer number of butlers with patched up faces.

Meeting each other’s eyes for a split second, the two assassins heaved out heavy sighs as they pushed through the great front gate with ease.

Their walk towards the mansion was quiet for the most part, the only sounds interrupting the silence being the faint chirp of crickets and an occasional bullfrog in the distance.

It wasn’t the first or last time there would be trouble at the Zoldyck mansion.

On occasion, there would be a fairly successful band of intruders that would deflate the mood at the estate, or one of Kikyo’s tantrums that led to the injuries of many of the unfortunate butlers that happened to cross paths with her.

Judging by the large number of butlers injured this time around, the two placed their bets on a fairly successful invasion.

Making their way through the doors of the mansion at last, Zeno and Silva sought out Kikyo to find out just what had occurred in their absence.

However, before they even made it halfway to Kikyo’s chambers, Illumi came running towards them, a rare occurrence for the usually inexpressive boy.

His long, black hair was the tiniest bit mussed and his round eyes were wider than usual.

Without pausing to catch his breath, Illumi broke the news to the two elders. “Father, grandfather. Sayomi is gone.”

Perplexed and bewildered at the sudden turn of events, Zeno and Silva sputtered out sounds of confusion as they pressed Illumi to explain in more detail.

“Mother…-mother made us fight and then… she left Sayomi at Meteor City!”

Silva’s mouth dropped open in clear astonishment, pushing past Illumi to find his wife. There was no way he would leave his only daughter to fend for herself in Meteor City.

His pace quickened as he turned the corner, heading straight for Kikyo’s room with a hard-set jaw and rage evident in his expression.

Confronting his wife with a booming voice, Silva demanded the reason behind Kikyo’s actions. “Kikyo. How can you make such hasty decisions without stopping to think first?”

Silva was furious, but with the watching eyes around him, he maintained his composure as the butlers were dismissed from Kikyo’s side.

Kikyo spoke without a care, only adding to the growing aggravation of her husband. “Ah, welcome back dear... Sayomi’s insolent behavior was in need of strict discipline, and so she will remain in Meteor City until she is able to find her own way back.”

Sliding a hand down his face in exasperation, Silva groaned at Kikyo’s antics. “Kikyo. Do you even realize what you’ve done to our only daughter?”

Kikyo smirked in response and opened her mouth to speak only to be cut off by Silva’s voice.

“There’s no turning back in Meteor City! Sayomi has most likely already been claimed by their rotten community and she’ll most likely be sold off with an aura that strong!”

As Silva took a seat, dizzy from the pure outrageousness of the situation, Kikyo opened her mouth once again.

“Dear. Did you forget that I was once a citizen of that rotten community? This is for her own good, and when our daughter returns, she will be even stronger than any training we could possibly give her. Think about the future of our family, she will be fit to inherit the family business!”

Silva raised his head at this.

It was true he had been mulling over which of his children could be fit to inherit his position. Millions of thoughts ran wild through his mind. He knew it would be nearly impossible to find and retrieve Sayomi at this point, and perhaps she would benefit from the experience.

If she doesn’t return within two years time, we can always rescue her. No, but will she survive until then? Of course she will. She’s my daughter after all.

Without even realizing it, Silva had effectively been persuaded into leaving his daughter at the city of ruins.

There really was no turning back now.

☾ ii.

From the moment Illumi saw his father return with a conflicted expression spanning over his face, he could sense the outcome of his parents’ argument.

Sayomi was trapped in Meteor City.

When Silva officially broke the news to his father and Illumi, the 10 year old took off in a sprint, locking himself in his room.

Illumi was drowning. Too far deep in his own despair.

His sister’s giddy smile flashed through his mind, her bright violet eyes seeming to burn through his own.

He had never felt more helpless or weak than this moment.

As he folded into himself, forming a barricade of arms and legs from everything around him, tears streamed down his face as the absence of his twin burned a gaping hole into his heart.

☾ ii.

Illumi was never the same after that day.

His emotionless state was reduced even further into a mere skeleton of himself as he mourned his missing half.

Every day was the same exact routine.

He would wake up with the hopes that everything had just been a bad dream, and that Sayomi would be stumbling her way outside to race him to the training yard.

And every day he would have to come to terms with the reality that Sayomi was indeed gone.

He put all his focus into training as a way to cope with the situation, pushing himself to new limits each time.

He obeyed his mother’s every command, killed in cold-blood, and when offered jobs, went through with them without fail.

Illumi’s soul was fading, yet despite the loss in expression, his power continued to reach new heights.

Now he was nothing more than a machine, a weapon wielded by his parents that brought them fortunes.

☾ ii.

to be continued.

hey remember that todoroki himiko fic i’m working on? yeah i just finished writing a scene from it that i’ve been wanting to write for a while... please tell me what you think and if anyone is ooc or something (especially himiko since i haven’t caught up on bnha since the 1a vs 1b training arc and i’m going off of my limited knowledge of all the himiko backstory/development we got) this part of the fic will likely be adjusted/fixed later on but i just wanna know how people are feeling about this fic so far

also in case anyone gets confused this fic takes place during shouto’s 3rd year at ua, so himiko is like 19 here but she was arrested at 17, so since she was a minor at that time she gets the chance to live with the todoroki’s rather than going straight to jail

anyways.... anyways... enjoy some rei and himiko bonding with a lil bit of angst

“Himiko, would you like to help me cook dinner?” Rei calls out, poking her head into the living room. The woman in question glances up from the book Fuyumi lent to her, and greets Rei with a small smile. It’s just the two of them in the house this afternoon, as Fuyumi had taken Touya to his weekly counseling session.

“Sure, what are we making?” she replies, placing her book on the coffee table in front of her before leaping to her feet. The older woman beams at her as she bounds over, noticing the familiar pep in her step.

Rei leads Himiko into the kitchen before replying, “Kinpira, per Natsuo’s request since he’s visiting tonight.”

“Yay! Natsu!” Himiko claps her hands together, excited to see the college student. Even though he typically visited every weekend, she was always happy to see him. She enjoyed his cheerful and caring personality, as well as his rather cheesy jokes.

“Mhmm,” Rei agrees as she reaches for the cutting board in the cabinet above the sink. Politely, she asks, “Could you please grab the carrots from the fridge for me?”

Nodding enthusiastically, Himiko skips over the fridge, “Yeah!”

She reaches for the bag of fresh carrots (courtesy of Fuyumi for picking them up earlier this morning) before joining the older woman at the kitchen sink. Rei had already pulled out a cutting knife and just finished washing her hands when Himiko inquires, “Should I wash the carrots?”

“Yes, please and thank you,” Rei smiles, scooting herself and the cutting board over a bit to make room for Himiko at the sink, “You can just pass them to me when you’re done, and I’ll chop them.”

“M’kay!” Himiko says cheerily, quickly washing her own hands before getting to work. She places a carrot under the running water, and continuously turns it over for a few seconds. She then pulls it up to her face to observe it, then giving a satisfied nod at her handiwork before passing it to Rei.

The mother lightly giggles at Himiko’s antics, finding them cute and amusing. They continue like this for a few minutes, with Himiko humming a jingle she heard on TV a few days ago as she washes the carrots, and Rei smiling contently while cutting the vegetables.

Himiko is so focused on her task that she lightly jumps when the older woman beside her gasps in pain.

“Are you alright?!” she worriedly asks, her head whipping around to look up at Rei. She sees that she has the tip of her thumb in her mouth, along with a slight frown crossing over her face.

Rei removes her thumb from her mouth before casting Himiko a reassuring beam, “Yes, dear, I just accidentally cut my thumb. It’s not too deep, so it probably just needs a band aid-”

The older woman’s words drown out as Himiko sees the injury itself. Blood is already starting to heavily trickle out of it, and suddenly all of her senses become heightened. The scent of iron is too strong - it’s invading her nose and it’s all she can smell. Her vision becomes a cloudy red as all her eyes can fixate on in the blood pouring out. She swears she can practically hear it dripping onto the floor.

Himiko hasn’t felt this need ever since she was arrested and thrown into that villain rehabilitation facility - the need for blood.

She doesn’t even realize she’s grasped Rei’s wounded hand until it’s inches from her face, and the mother’s concerned voice finally breaks through the barrier that separates Himiko’s mind from reality.

“Himiko?”

The young woman in question freezes, and the horror of what she was about to just do washes over her. She was about to drink Rei’s blood - sweet, kind, nurturing Rei who agreed to take her in when no one else would. For a moment, she had wanted to become Rei. Himiko’s almost-return to the obsession she’s grown to despise makes her feel sick, causing her head to start spinning.

She rips herself away from the older woman and backs away. She barely registers Rei reaching out to her before a hazed ‘I’m sorry’ stumbles from Himiko’s mouth, and she runs out of the kitchen.

Himiko doesn’t know how much time has passed as she lays in her bed, hiding under the covers. Curling into herself, she tightly grips her pillow as her mind reels. She feels shame and anger towards herself for almost losing control. And here she was, thinking she had gotten better at suppressing her quirk. She had almost hurt Rei, who had been nothing but nice to her. The thought makes her feel ill, and she almost wants to cry.

She wouldn’t be surprised if Rei no longer wanted her to live with them, as well as Touya and Fuyumi and Natsuo. Hell - Shouto was already distrustful and wary of her, so he would have no problem with Himiko being thrown back into that facility. Perhaps it was for the best.

She supposes she deserves it, especially if she can’t keep her quirk in check. What if she accidentally hurt one of them next time? She knows she would never be able to forgive herself for such a thing.

A light knock on her bedroom door breaks Himiko away from her thoughts. She can hear Rei’s voice call out through the door, “Himiko? I’m coming in.”

The young woman hears the door slowly creak open, and she hides herself under the blankets even more. She’s mentally preparing for the worst, and trying to fight back the oncoming tears. She knows what words to expect, “We no longer want you with us. We’re sending you back.”

A weight settles beside Himiko on the bed, causing her anxiety to skyrocket. Her fingers curl further into her pillow as silence floats between the two women for a few moments.

Softly, she hears Rei ask, “Himiko dear, are you alright?”

Himiko almost laughs at that, but stops herself from doing so.With some bitterness to her tone, she responds with, “I should be the one asking you that.”

“Huh? Oh, my cut is fine. It’s stopped bleeding, and I disinfected it before putting a band aid on.”

Himiko shakes her head beneath the covers, but then remembers Rei can’t see her. “No, I mean-,” she momentarily pauses, and takes a shaky breath as she says, “I almost used my quirk on you.”

“It’s okay, I’m not mad at you or anything.” Rei replies instantly, and Himiko is surprised at how sincere she sounds.

Anger suddenly takes over the young woman - not towards Rei, but towards herself. “Even if you aren’t mad, I am!” she shouts, but quickly recalls that she doesn’t want to potentially scare Rei any further. So, quietly, she admits, “I’m sure the counselors and Touya told you all about my quirk and how it works, so you know it’s horrendous. I almost hurt you with it, like - like a monster.”

Silence falls between them once more, causing Himiko’s heartbeat to accelerate rapidly. This was it. Rei was going to send her away now.

Instead, however, the mother gently speaks, “I don’t think your quirk is horrendous, and I definitely don’t think you’re a monster.”

Himiko can’t help but scoff, “Yeah, well, my parents and most of society think so.”

“Just because they’re the majority doesn’t mean they’re right,” Rei says, and the younger woman can detect a sadness to her tone. Suddenly, she asks, “You know about my ex-husband, right?”

Himiko blinks, surprised the mother brought up such a subject. Of course she knew about the personal life of the former Number One Hero - Touya had told her all about it over a year ago when he still went by the name of ‘Dabi’. She absolutely despises Endeavor for how he treated some of the most caring people she’s ever met. “Yeah, he’s a fucking piece of shit.”

“Language, Himiko,” Rei gently scolds.

“Sorry.”

She can hear what sounds like Rei huffing affectionately before she speaks again, “Well, you know about his powerful fire quirk, Hellflame? It was constantly praised as ‘heroic’ and the like… but, he used it to hurt me and my children.”

Himiko falls quiet, carefully listening to the mother.

“He used it to hurt the people he was supposed to protect the most. Even though everyone said it was a quirk befitting for a hero, he still used it for evil purposes. So… that’s why I think it’s the person who’s horrendous, not the quirk. I believe that any quirk can be used for good if in the right hands.”

The young woman frowns, “But I used my quirk to hurt others too.”

“I know,” Rei replies before softly saying, “but you were misguided and hurt and so very young, and now you’re wanting to change for the better. My ex-husband is none of those things.”

Himiko thinks about how Touya had told her Endeavor ‘attempted’ to change, but it was more-so to cover his own ass since he was the Number One Hero then and in the spotlight. Behind closed doors, he was still a horror the Todoroki’s had to suffer.

“You’re not a monster with a horrendous quirk, Himiko. You’re human.”

Upon hearing those words from the only person she considers a mother figure, Himiko feels tears well up in her eyes.

I’m… human?

Slowly, she pulls the covers down from her face to gaze up at the older woman with watery eyes. She sees Rei affectionately smiling down at her, and that causes the tears to finally spill down her cheeks.

“You… really think all of that?” Himiko quietly asks, staring up at the mother.

Rei nods, and her voice is full of nothing but honesty as she says, “I do.”

Himiko can’t control the flood of tears that begin to pour out, nor can she stop herself from throwing herself in Rei’s arms. She sobs into the older woman’s lap, and she can feel Rei gently running her fingers through her blond hair to comfort her.

All her life, Himiko had been called a multitude of feared things; monster, freak, hellspawn - she had lost count of all the labels her parents and society viewed her as. The League of Villains had never called her such things with malicious intent behind it, though they never denounced them either - they had their own problems and she didn’t grow close enough to most of them back then to open up. After nineteen years, Himiko had simply learned to live with the labels.

But now, she had been called human. And the one who said such a thing truly believed it.

“It’s okay, dear, let it all out.” Rei says soothingly.

And for the first time in her life, Himiko does.

endgame review (spoilers!!!)

okay so now that i’ve finally stopped crying and had a good night’s sleep here are all of my thoughts on avengers endgame:

things i liked:

the opening scene with clint losing his wife and kids -- my heart was in my throat the whole time; i felt so so bad for him

nebula and tony bonding

steve getting rid of that beard like thank god

tony and pepper reuniting

tony FINALLY telling steve off for everything; as a lifelong tony stan this was super cathartic

scott reuniting with cassie; in fact, all of scott’s scenes were awesome

bonus - the fact that the only reason any of this was able to happen was because a rat accidentally turned the machine back on

the fact that tony got married to pepper!!! and had a daughter!!! he was such a good dad to baby morgan i loved it

carol’s new haircut 👌 👌 👌

tony looking at peter’s picture 😭 😭😭

“shit :)”

“i love you 3000″

all of the time travel scenes. did the rules make sense? nope. did i love seeing the crew go back in time to all of the previous avengers movies and see their past selves and fuck around with the timeline? absolutely.

going off that -- getting to see all the minor characters like jane and frigga and hank was awesome. i loved the entire time heist plot.

loki making fun of cap by transforming into him

“hail hydra” followed by that smirk (and the fact that they made fun of the whole hydra!cap thing was awesome)

the cap vs cap fight

thor getting to talk to his mother

tilda swinton’s character and bruce talking. seeing her again was def a surprise.

nebula and gamora talking and teaming up to fuck thanos over. karen gillam was great in this film.

tony getting to talk to his father (and the fact that the code name he used was howard potts like??? i cry)

“we’re a long way from budapest” be still my 2013 clintasha heart

the new infinity gauntlet being made out of tony’s iron man hand

the fact that they brought everyone back without fucking up the timeline. i was so worried they’d have to erase tony’s kid from existence but they didn’t so thank god.

steve wielding mjolnir. ngl that was pretty cool.

EVERYONE COMING BACK!!! (i knew it was coming. everyone knew it was coming. but it was still great to see.)

steve saying “avengers assemble”

PETER AND TONY’S REUNION!!! (i waited an entire fucking year for this and it was WORTH IT)

PEPPER FIGHTING ALONGSIDE TONY!!! HOPE FIGHTING ALONGSIDE SCOTT!!! battle couple goals :D

“hey peter parker”

“i am inevitable.” “i am...iron man.” S O B B I N G

tony’s death. like am i sad that tony died??? 150%. but it made narrative sense, he got to be happy with his kid and pepper (for however brief of a time), he found the loophole in time travel that allowed him to save everybody, and he dusted thanos. “you can rest now.” 😭😭😭 a fitting ending for the strongest avenger.

the entire funeral scene. the viking funeral wreath thing with the “proof tony stark has a heart” on it??? GOOD SHIT. i was bawling.

happy and morgan. that kid’s going to have happy wrapped around her little finger.

tony’s final message

the thorkyrie scene (even if i didn’t like what was being said i’m glad they shared some screentime.)

harley coming back!!!

sam becoming captain america (THANK GOD)

the end credits with rdj (the man who singlehandedly made the mcu amazing) being billed last. the theater was cheering and crying at the same time and it was amazing.

the final bit at the end with the noise from tony making his first suit. 😭😭😭

things i didn’t like:

the way they treated thor. taika made thor so amazing in ragnarok and the russos (and the screenwriters) got jealous and shit all over it!!! wtf!!! (and all of the fat jokes and jokes about his ptsd were NOT cool. didn’t like rocket slapping him out of his panic attack either.) can’t believe they made him an alcoholic who sits on his ass and plays fortnite all day. wtf.

for that matter -- i CANNOT believe that he would just up and fuck off with the guardians of the galaxy and abandon his people. is valkyrie a worthy leader??? absolutely. but so is thor!!! that was his entire arc in endgame like WTF!!!! (also the fact that we didn’t get a thorkyrie kiss is fucking CRIMINAL)

also why couldn’t he keep the short hair??? why did he have to get mjolnir back when taika went to all the trouble of showing he didn’t need the hammer to be a hero? did they just want to fuck up EVERYTHING that taika did?

the ending for steve. ‘nuff said.

no you know what? i’m going to go into this further. do i like steve? no. i never have. his actions toward tony in civil war put him on my shitlist forever, and that’s all i am willing to say about that. but you expect me to believe that steve fucking rogers (who KNEW that peggy moved on, lived a good life and had a husband and kids) really went back and fucked up the timeline just to be with her? he barely knew her!! they barely bonded in the first avenger at all!! also there are so many plotholes with how in the world he managed that (what happened when the other cap woke up from the ice???) also does this mean that his ‘romance’ with sharon is technically incest??? and did he just live out the rest of his life with peggy knowing that bucky was being tortured by hydra? insert “it’s bad writing” gif here.

(i am glad that he passed the shield onto sam though. bucky would have been a terrible choice for captain america.)

ALSO. you know who would have been a better choice to go back in time and live the rest of their life with the people that they loved and could not be with due to reasons outside their control? CAROL MOTHERFUCKING DANVERS. let her go back in time and live a happy life with her wife and kid. #carolmaria4evr

the fact that natasha died instead of clint. i literally cannot fucking believe that they fridged the first female avenger just for clint’s (and everyone’s) man pain. it was bad enough when they fridged gamora for thanos’s man pain. clint should have died in nat’s place and the fact that he didn’t is a huge fucking cop out and that’s the that on that.

for that matter -- clint’s entire storyline prior to going back in time was WILD. his only explanation for killing all those people was “thanos snapped half the universe and you didn’t die so imma kill you.” FUCKING WHAT????

the fact that the russos are patting themselves on the back for their “woke lgbt rep” that was actually just a “leave for the bathroom and miss it” extra. you know what would have been better? a stucky ending. a sambucky ending. carol going home to monica and maria. valkyrie kissing a girl. ANYTHING would have been better than that.

speaking of carol -- she was CRIMINALLY underused in this movie. she was barely shown mourning fury (and also!!! why did we get no confirmation about monica and maria????) and barely spoke to the team in general. i thought she was going to have a major role (and would help them go back in time) but she didn’t and that disappointed me.

did i like the fact that she destroyed thanos’s fleet? yes. but i wish she was used more. she’s the most powerful avenger ever!!! and i wish that she got to speak more with tony as they’re friends in the comics.

(BRIE LARSON IS AN ACADEMY AWARD WINNING ACTRESS AND THEY BARELY USED HER!!! LIKE WTF)

i won’t even get into the makeup thing bc that’s already been said and done. actually no i will. there was no reason for her to have perfect hair and lipstick and makeup. that’s not who she is. please let butch ladies continue to be butch please and thank you.

the fact that they didn’t bring gamora and natasha back :(

this might be controversial but i didn’t love the fact that pepper and tony suddenly retired to a lakehouse and became stay at home parents. i was totally expecting pepper and tony to keep running stark industries and make it into a charity organization that helped people in need/those affected by the snap.

the fact that they never fucking explained how time travel worked and WHY they couldn’t just go back and kill thanos as a baby (that was a good suggestion!). and the thing where nebula shot her past self and somehow lived??? it made no sense. i mean. i know it’s bad writing. but i was expecting it to be at least a LITTLE better. where are my explanations.

speaking of bad writing -- did the avengers ever come out and say the reason that everyone got dusted? did everyone know it was bc of thanos? why are some places in such states of disrepair and others are not? who ruled wakanda since shuri and t’challa were dusted? so many unanswered questions. rip.

the directing of the final battle was on par with the throne room battle scene in the last jedi in that both are chaotic and messy and that’s the that on that. as was the scene where hawkeye was beating up the yakuza. messy. lame. yawn.

the scene with all of the female superheroes. was it cool? sure. do i wish natasha could have been there? YES. do i wish that the mcu had more female superheroes? DOUBLE YES. was it a blatant attempt for the russos to pat themselves on the back and be like “sEE!! WE’RE FEMINISTS!!! LOOK AT US!!”?? definitely.

honestly, i was expecting the acting to be way worse than it was based on how all my mutuals were going off about it. overall, though, it was clear in some scenes that the actors had no idea what the context of their lines were and the acting was pretty meh throughout, and for the biggest marvel movie of the year the acting should be a damn sight better than “meh”. but this just reinforces what i know already, which is that the russos are shitty directors. get them as far away from the mcu as possible please and thank you.

things i wish we got:

a carolmaria reunion

a peter&may reunion

a fury&everyone (and esp a fury&carol reunion)

clint sacrificing himself instead of nat sacrificing herself

valkyrie talking to thor about overcoming alcoholism and ptsd

thor staying in new asgard with his people

steve going back and dancing with peggy like he promised and THEN going back to the future (where all of his friends are) and retiring or helping fury bring back shield.

better writers

better directors

an end credits scene that set up phase 4 (tho i assume we will be getting that in spiderman far from home)

tldr - thor got fucked over. tony is a hero and the love of my life. steve shouldn’t have gone back in time to be with peggy. nat shouldn’t have been fridged. the writing was meh and the directing was worse. not the complete and utter shitshow i was expecting, but not the so-called greatest movie in the mcu. give rdj an honorary oscar. 6/10.

#personal #my stuff #avengers endgame #endgame spoilers #endgame review #endgame salt #kind of??#marvel spoilers #mcu spoilers #well this got a lot longer than i expected #this is very rambly please enjoy
