hi in case you noticed, i stopped my queue (SORRY.    if i owed you a reply, i can p much guarantee it was in there bc, i don’t think i had any unfinished drafts)  ----------  it’s because dee has successfully convinced me to revamp.    i’m gonna archive bc i’m changing my whole aesthetic and making new and updated verses ----  including maya’s redemption arc, which happens about 4 years after the snap.    

i’ve been angling my portrayal towards this for like five years now, and i’m really excited to make this jump!!!!  i was really just waiting on endgame so that i could make it as compliant as possible.   will be posting a promo soon.

*  an old, slightly spruced up meta about maya and her relationship to al/drich killian

i‘d  like  to  being  juxtaposing  two  lines  from  the  beginning  of  iron  man  3 .      both  of  which  take  place  during  the  elevator  scene  when  killian  first  approaches  maya  and  tony .      he’s  being  creepy ,    pushing  boundaries  to  the  extreme .       there’s  a  post  floating  around  tumblr  that’s  about ,   like ,    how  tony  was  justified  in  blowing  killian  off  because  he  was  being  creep  af and  analyzing  tony’s  body  language ,   how  he  shields  all  the  women  in  the  elevator  from  killian ,   etc.      i’m  into  that  post  like  a  pig  in  slop .    if  i  was  approached  by  killian  in  that  matter ,    i  would  ignore  the  fuck  out  of  him ,   too .

let’s  take  it  to  the  im3  transcript :

killian :    hey ,    tony !    aldrich  killian .     i’m  a  big  fan  of  your  work. maya :    my  work ? tony :      who  isn’t ?       [ to  maya ]   he  means  me . killian :     well ,   of  course ,  but ,    ms  hansen ——–   my  organization’s  been  tracking  your  research  since  year  two  of  MIT .

the  camera  then  zooms  in  on  maya’s  face ,     peering  at  him  with  eyes  that  can  only  be  described  as  curious .      she  then  partakes  in  plenty  of  rplling  eyes  and  condescending  smiles  as  killian  and  tony  talk  in  the  elevator  ride  up ,     but  when  she  steps  off  the  elevator ,     she’s  looking  at  the  business card  intently .

maya :     thank  you  ;     i’ll  call  you .

and  when  the  camera  next  pans  to  killian ,   he’s  smiling .      not  the  awestruck  expression  he  wears  after  tony  speaks  to  him ,    a  more  dumb ,    genuine  smile .       these  lines  that  they  deliver  to  one  another   matter ,    and  the  reactions  maya  and  killian  give  in  response  to  one  another   are  revealing .

aldrich  killian  was  the  go - getter  in  tune  with  not  only  the  Big  Shots  in  the  scientific  community  but  with  the  little  guys ,     and  maya  hansen  was  a  brilliant  little  guy  who  needed  a  go -  getter  to  take  a  real ,   honest  chance  on  her .       she  needed  his  think  tank  in  order  to  grow  her  research ,    and  he  needed  her  research  in  order  to  have  something  worth  growing .      and  together ,   he  could  become  a  better  salesman ,    and  she  could  become  a  more  accomplished  scientist .        THEY  WERE  THE  FIRST  PEOPLE  TO  EVER  GENUINELY  PUT  STOCK  IN  ONE  ANOTHER .

along  the  way ,    they  must  have  helped  one  another  in  their  respective  roles .     maya  was  young  and  smart  and  beautiful  ;      she  already  had  natural  skill  catching  the  eye  of  the  likes  of  tony  stark ,   obviously .      she  was  well - suited  to  schmoozing ,    better  than  him  in  the  beginning .     and  he  offered  a  fresh ,    but  still  well - informed ,    perspective  on  her   work .         the  combination  of  them  was  powerful .

    it  was  so  powerful  that  it  was  easily  manipulated  by  itself .     i’ve  written  about  this  before ,    but  it’s VERY  IMPORTANT   TO  ME   that  maya  hansen  not  portrayed  to  be  some  innocent ,    morally  pure  woman  who  was  manipulated  into  everything  by  the  big ,    bad ,    aldrich  monster .      that’s  not  how  it  went  down  to  me .      you  stuck  two  geniuses  with  great  ambition  —-  whose  greatest  believers  were one  another —-  into  a  think  tank  that  needed  money .        how  the  hell   else  did  you  expect  this  to  go  down  ?      

maya  started  hitting  brick  walls   with  applications  of  her  theory .      killian  didn’t  care ,    just  began  to  suggest  ways  they  could  use  that  to  their  benefit .       maya  stopped  caring  about  where  the  money  came  from ,    just  wanting  to  advance  her  research .       they  both  wanted  to  succeed  so  badly ,    they  stopped  caring  about  what   they  succeeded  at .    their  ambition  started  burning  holes  before  the  first  test  subject  blew  one  of  their   facilities  to  smithereens .       they  walked  that  line  of  corruption  together .     sure ,   killian  might  have  led  in  some  ways ——–  it  was ,    after  all ,    his  ideas  about  desperation  and  living  in  shadows  that  became  the  basis  of  their  ideology ——–  but  she  followed  his  path  of  her  own  free  will ;      she  believed  it  was  the  path  to  the  success  she  so  craved .

given  the  conversation  that   maya  and   killian  have  in  the  hotel  room with  pepper ,    i’m  not  sure  why  people  still  like  to  debate  whether  or  not  she  was  aware  of  extremis’s  role  in  the  mandarin  plots .      when  she  says  she   ‘ thinks  her  boss  is  working  for  the  mandarin ’      she’s  lying ;       she  knows  about the  situation .      i  borrow  the  line  from  the  comics  that     “ it  takes  two  people  to  open  the  extremis  vault  ”    and  hop  off  my  soap  box .

the  events  of  im3   come  to  a  head  the  way  they  do  because  maya  and  killian  disagree  on  what  course  of  action  to  take  next .     she  goes  rogue  showing  up  at  tony’s  to  try  to  bring  him  in ,    and  from  there ,     every  action  they  take  leads  directly  to  his  decision  to  kill   her .      or   “ kill  her ”    as  it  were  in  relation  to  my  blog ,    because  i’m  SO  FUCKING  TIRED  OF  FRIDGING  WOMEN .    

anyway ,    this  is  long  and  most  people  have  probably  stopped  reading  by  now ,    but  that’s  okay .   the  most  important  point  was  up  there  earlier  in  all  caps  bold  italics .       they  believed  in  one  another  before  anyone  else ,    more  strongly  than  anyone  else ,    without  anyone  else .       in  fic  involving  maya ,    a  lot  of  writers  like  to  have  her  say ,    in  hindsight ,    that  she    “ could’ve  gone  so  much  farther  without  him. ”      and  ????    maybe  she  would  have  gone  n  the  RIGHT  DIRECTION .     but  the  mileage  wouldn’t  be  nearly  as  far.      she  wouldn’t  have  the  same  level  of  fame  that  she  achieved  in  notoriety.    I  SEE  THEIR  PROGRESSION / REGRESSION  AS  INHERENTLY  LINKED .     almost  co - dependent ,    back  when  they  started .      .      

there  are  definitely  parts  of  their  history  i’d  love  to  elaborate  on ,    more  movie  and  comic  quotations  i’d   happily  point  out ,    but  i  will  leave  this  here for  now .

THX FOR THE OXYGEN YOU BIG, SEXY OAFS💗💗🌳

[fromshore-ar-blog]

Momma, Momma, let me tell you how I burn, how I revel in it, red-eyed and feral, how flames flicker across my teeth. Let me tell you how I set every goddamn fire myself, how it is hell and heaven, agony and ecstasy devouring themselves inside of me, how I scream the prayers you taught me until my throat rips itself into a bloody, shredded thing. Momma, let me tell you how I became relentless. Momma, let me tell you how I became the light.

*  WHAT IS THE CREEPIEST THING ABOUT YOU

YOU  ARE  SHOCKINGLY  VIOLENT.  

there’s  no  getting  around  this :    you  desperately  need  to  attend  anger  management.    you’re  headstrong  and  opinionated,    and  your  energy  and  enthusiasm  can  turn  into  explosive  violence  at  the  drop  of  a  hat.    you’re  a  waslking  time  bomb  of  seething  rage,    and  the  more  you  try  to  hide  it,    the  more  it  escapes  in  unpredictable,   volatile  mood  swings.     do  yourself  a  favor  and  invest  in  a  stress  ball  or  a  gym  membership  before  you  do  something  you’ll  really  regret.
