[ 01: the cute florist ]

|| pairing : james "bucky" barnes x florist!reader

|| summary : When Clint's birthday comes sooner than Bucky realized, Steve forced him to go buy some gift for Hawkeye. Figuring that flowers were an easy enough gift, he takes a visit to the flower on the corner of the street..

There, he meets a cute florist, someone who seemed to melt his cold heart. How will Bucky navigate this modern world romance? Will he allow himself to fall in love? If so.. How will he keep this from the team? And how will you react to him being the Winter Soldier?

“C’mon, Buck, you have to get him a gift. He’s your friend.”

“No, he’s your friend, I doubt any of your friends actually still want me around.”

“Sam likes y-”

“Sam doesn’t count.”

Bucky and Steve had been going at it for the past while, it was Clint’s birthday tomorrow and Steve really, really wanted Bucky to get more used to the team. After the whole fallout with the Sokovia Records, everyone was lucky that it was put aside. Bucky’s crimes were pardoned as well as the majority of Cap’s team, but it was still real tense.

It was a wonder Tony let them all still live in the Tower. I mean, not all of them lived there. Thor and Loki came and went, Clint lived with his family in god knows where, Peter lived with his aunt but visited VERY frequently, and Wanda and Vision moved out to live on their own. Which is.. Completely understandable.

“Clint likes.. He likes you, I mean he was on our side, remember?”

Bucky shot a wary look Steve’s way, his eyebrow twitching up before rolling his eyes. “If I were to get Barton something, what does he even like? I know nothin’ ‘bout your friends.”

“.. It’d be safe to get him flowers.” Steve shrugged and stood up from Bucky’s desk chair, before this, Steve barged into his best friend's room and started interrogating him about the birthday. “Though, you could check in with Romanoff.”

With a quiet grunt, Bucky nodded and flopped back in bed as Steve walked out. He hated this. Well, hate was a strong word. It was strange to him, having this much freedom. He had the freedom to try to get closer to people, yet he didn’t.. Know how to. He’d forgotten. He was better at this back in his day.

–

“Flowers?” Natasha quirked her eyebrow up before she hit the dummy with a hard kick. She’d been training for the past hour or so, blowing off some steam. “Clint likes the basics, roses, lilies, y’know.”

“And you’re sure it’s a good idea?”

“He likes flowers, I think he’d like something more practical, but he’s probably not expecting much from you,” She punched the dummy repeatedly, giving it no time to try and bounce back. After a few moments, and ine final blow, the dummy flew across the room and tumbled down. “No offense.”

“None taken.” Bucky mentally checked that off.. Roses, lilies.. Basic flowers. Something practical. “What other things does he like?”

Natasha hummed and walked over to the dummy, carrying it back to the original spot as she thought. “Laura,” She could practically feel Bucky ask, so she cut him off. “Barton’s wife mentioned he wanted to get into carving. Maybe get him a knife for that?”

“Oh.” He nodded slowly and checked that down. “Thank you, Romanoff.”

“Call me Natasha,” She spared him a sideways glance and lazy smile before she went back to beating the crap out of some training dummy.

–

With some research (asking F.R.I.D.A.Y), Bucky found a small flower shop with good ratings, but not too many, meaning it was smaller. He didn’t like going out in the public all too much just yet. Felt too.. Vulnerable? He didn’t know. He just hated people.

Well, thankfully, he found a more isolated shop. It was a 15 minute walk from the tower, it was a flower shop that served as a bookstore as well. A real cute scene. A scene where Bucky felt out of place.

The small bell on the top of the door rung as Bucky swung the door open. He had a baseball hat on, his red henley, and a jacket to try and.. Hide who he was. Didn’t want some poor old lady to get scared when seeing him. (He assumed that the owner was some little lady.)

“Just a minute!”

Bucky froze at the voice, okay, didn’t sound like an old lady. He pushed his hat closer to his head as he heard shuffling from the back.

Instead of a little lady, he found you. You popped out of the back door, stack of boxes in your arms, and a big smile on your face. Charming, cute almost.

“Welcome to the Flower Parlor! How can I help y’today?” You recited what you said to other customers most likely, as you put the boxes down on the ground, on the other side of the counter.

As Bucky watched you straighten yourself out, your shoulders stiffened as you looked up at him. Oh god, he looked real scary. Baseball hat, dark jacket, looks like he’s gonna rob the place! Ah, but he wouldn't get much from here.

“I need help with a birthday gift.”

Oh wow, his voice sent a shiver down your spine. His voice was as if.. Well, you didn’t know, but it was really nice! He had- yeah, he had a nice voice, god get a grip.

“Ooh! Alrighty, tell me ‘bout the birthday person and I’ll gladly make a bouquet for ‘em! And a nice book to go along with it too!” In a swift motion, you grabbed some semi-transparent paper you used to make bouquets and watched him expectantly.

“Uh, he..” God, what did Clint like? “Likes.. Bow ‘n arrows.”

You raised a brow at the factoid Bucky dropped but didn’t question, instead, you grabbed some Hyacinths and placed them neatly on the paper, making sure to make it look pretty.

This kept going, he’d drop a factoid of Clint, you’d grab a flower. Hyacinths because they represented Apollo, who was the god of Archery. White roses to represent loyalty, A few hydrangeas because Bucky said he was a ‘family man’ and a few baby’s breaths to fluff it up a bit more and you were done! The bouquet consisted of a more purple and white color palette, in turn, you made the ribbon that held it together a dark purple.

“Oh, uh, thank you.” Bucky muttered as you handed the bouqet of flowers to him. He hadn’t held one since.. Well, almost 80 years ago.

“And a book, whaddya think your birthday guy likes t’read?”

“Oh- uh-” Bucky took a sharp breath in and shrugged.

To that, you let out a small giggle, running your hand through your messy hair before you looked on your bookshelf, trying to find some good book. Oh, but Bucky wasn’t paying attention to what he could be getting Clint, no, he stopped the moment that laugh left your lips.

Didn’t know why, but that laugh just stopped his thinking. It was so light, gentle. Man, no one at the Tower was this soft, the- the opposite actually. Yet here you were, actually laughing at Bucky’s confusion.. It wasn’t condescending, more amused, actually. God! Get a grip, James, you’re not gonna see ‘em again after this.

“How ‘bout a classic? The Hobbit? Or maybe Their Eyes were Watching God?”

“I remember reading The Hobbit.”

“Yeah? How’dya like it?”

“.. Don’t like wizards all that much”

Again, you snorted and started to laugh at his disdain to wizards. Which was fair, he wasn’t the biggest fan of Dr. Strange, but he liked him better than.. Well, a whole heck of a lot of people.

“Then how ‘bout Their Eyes were Watching God?” You put the Hobbit back on the shelf and walked up to him, extending your hand and handing the book to him. Your fingers touched momentarily, his gloved hand met your soft ones and Bucky’s mind blanked for a moment. God! He was actin’ like a schoolboy back when he found out Daisy liked him back in grade school all those years ago.

“Yeah, okay, yeah.” With a hurrid nod, Bucky took the book and held everything in his left hand, fumbling for his wallet with his right. “How much do I owe you?”

“It’s on the house.”

“What?”

“Eh, you’re a much better customer than I usually get,” You shrugged and pushed your hands in the pockets of your apron. “Usually I get assholes who wanna buy flowers after cheating on their partners.. Ah, you’re here for a friend though! So.. Yeah, on the house”

“I can’t, lemme just-”

“Really, you’re fine-”

“I insist-”

The bell of the door jingled and cut you both off, you yelled out “Just a minute!” just like you did for Bucky. A small smile on your face as you turned back up to the man in front of you, who was still grabbing a $20 bill and shoved it to you.

“Oh-” You sighed before letting out a small snort. “Fine, you win this time, Mr..”

“James.”

“James.” You repeated and took the bill, pocketing it into your apron. Heart bearing as you nodded to him and backed away. “Well, I hope your friend has a good birthday. It was nice meeting you, James.”

Bucky gave a small smile and nodded as he walked to the door. The bell jingled again as he opened it. “Thank you.”

And with that he left.

–

Bucky’s heart was still racing as he got back to his room at the Tower, get a grip, soldier, can’t act like a fucking teenager. And as much as he hated it, he was an avenger! He can’t- oh god.

“Buck?” Steve’s voice was muffled as he knocked on Bucky’s door before opening it. His eyes flickering to the bouquet on his night stand and back to Bucky. “Hey, that’s real nice! Flowers, told you it was a good idea”

“Shut it, punk” He muttered and pushed his face into the mattress.

“Someone’s moody,” his best friend muttered. “What’s wrong?”

The second the question left Steve’s lips, Bucky shook his head and sat up, running a hand through his hair and his expression hardened. Get a fuckibg grip, Sargeant.

“Like I said, nothing.”

It was so clear that Steve didn’r believe it. But, with how things had recently been, he didn’t wanna push it.

“Well, how was getting the flowers?”

“Good..” Bucky glanced at the flowers and immediately remembered how gentle your hands were. Placing them down strategically and quickly, but with the elegance of a dancer. “Really good.”

“.. You’re acting weird” Steve huffed with a chuckle. “C’mon, let’s go on a run, you needa clear your head up.”

Bucky nodded and stood up from the bed. He was fine with being told what to do, it was easier than having his freedom.

Easier than thinking of the cute florist.

Bc of all this stuff of "Billy is the first gay character in the MCU", I have decided to compile a list of queer characters in the MCU, sorted by date so y'all know who the actual firsts are

The conditions are thus:

It is confirmed in the project by either the character themselves or by another person. Maybe they speak of a partner, or say "I'm gay" onscreen

It is confirmed outside of the project by a director, actor, writer, etc. The specific thing about this is that it must be spoken about openly, not just "oh I like that idea!". No, it must be said, "yes, we intended for this" "this character is queer", you get the idea. This means cases like where Chloe Bennet voiced support for an openly bi Daisy Johnson in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will not be counted, for while she does like it, she doesn't confirm Daisy as bi

The project must be set in the MCU timeline. If it is the subject of a multiverse, then that must be when the multiverse started branching out. "Deadpool and Wolverine" counts, but all other X-Men movies will not count

With these conditions, it also means cases like Iceman will not be considered, as even though him being a mutant is written like a coming out scene, he is still treated as being entirely het

Does that make sense? Good, let's get going

Victoria Hand (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, 2013-2014): Lesbian, confirmed by actress

Isabelle Hartley (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2, 2014-2015): Lesbian, stated by actress

Joey Gutierrez (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3, 2015-2016): Gay, confirmed on screen

Jeri Hogarth (Jessica Jones, 2015-2019): Lesbian, confirmed on screen

Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok & Thor: Love and Thunder, 2017/2022): Bisexual, confirmed by actress and later confirmed on screen

Korg (Thor: Ragnarok & Thor: Love and Thunder, 2017/2022): Gay, only confirmed on screen in Love and Thunder

Karolina Dean (Runaways, 2017-2018): Lesbian, confirmed on screen

Nico Minoru (Runaways, 2017-2018): Bisexual, confirmed on screen

Ruby Hale (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5, 2017-2018): Aesxual, confirmed by actress

Aneka (Black Panther & Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, 2018/2022): Lesbian, confirmed by actress

Ayo (Black Panther & Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, 2018/2022): Lesbian, confirmed on screen

Unnamed character played by Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame, 2019): Unknown, confirmed on screen

Marcus Benson (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6, 2019): Gay, confirmed on screen

Loki Laufeyson (Loki, 2021): Genderfluid and bisexual, confirmed on screen (it is worth noting that Loki was only confirmed as queer in the series, ten years after he made his debut, which is why I only count the series here. However our main timeline Loki is suggested to be same)

Sylvie Laufeydottir (Loki, 2021): Bisexual, confirmed by creators

Yelena Belova (Black Widow & Hawkeye, 2021): Aroace, hinted on screen, confirmed by writer

Phastos (Eternals, 2021): Gay, confirmed on screen

America Chavez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, 2022): Lesbian, confirmed by actress

America's moms (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, 2022): Unknown, confirmed on screen

Mister Immortal (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, 2022): Bisexual, confirmed on screen

Agatha Harkness (WandaVision & Agatha All Along, 2021/2024): Unknown, potentially sapphic or wlw, confirmed on screen

Rio Vidal (Agatha All Along, 2024): Unknown, potentially sapphic or wlw, confirmed on screen

Billy Maximoff (Agatha All Along, 2024): Gay, confirmed on screen

Ranting about it on here because I fear tiktok is not a safe place for this.

Okay, so, I just watched thunderbolts and ive been seeing edits on tiktok of people shipping yelena with the other characters. This is something that’s annoyed me since black widow came out and people started shipping yelena and Bucky because they wanted winterwidow. Then when Hawkeye came out people started shipping yelena with Kate. And now since thunderbolts yelena has been shipped with Ava and Bob (I won’t even go into how yelena and bob are completely platonic).

The problem is, is that yelena is aroace. And yes, there are aroace people out there who are in relationships etc and that does not make them any lsss valid, it’s a spectrum.

However, yelena has stated in the comics that she’s not interested in anyone.

Proof.

Now im completely aware of how problematic Devin Grayson is. Her run of Nightwing was a whole other breed of problematic that she still defends to this day.

But that doesn’t change the fact that yelena is aroace.

The main thing that bothers me is that the same people that ship yelena with others and say that ‘the mcu doesn’t need to follow the comics’ are the same people who pushed for Loki to be confirmed as bi in the tv show, that say that Tony is bi in the comics (which btw is more hinted and never fully stated outright), they also push for carol to be confirmed as a lesbian (who has been dating rhodey for a while in the comics). This isn’t me saying I don’t want these to be true, I agree that Tony’s character is bi, that mcu carol (because I haven’t read any of her comics but she’s made an appearance in some ive read) is a lesbian, and also that Loki is bi and gender-fluid.

I just think it’s hypocritical for people to say all this but disregard yelenas sexuality.

It’s as though representation matters until it’s something you don’t like.

So many people are under the impression that without romance or sex you can’t be fulfilled. Which just isn’t true. And it think that’s why so many people struggle to accept asexual/aromantic people. But they exist.

In the end yelena is aroace and always will be. Stop shipping her with characters there’s plenty of other characters out there. Let the aroace community have the little representation they have.

I will never hate on a ship that someone ships that I don’t (as long as not fucking illegal like shipping a minor with an adult!!!) but I also will stick to canon sexualities (eg I will hate on Robin x Steve (stranger things) because Robin is a lesbian she has stated this) and just like how yelena has stated she’s not anything and has been confirmed as aroace I will respect that and stick to it and not ship her with anyone as should you.

Give the same energy you give to people shipping lesbians with men, or gay men with women, or head cannoning a character with a confirmed sexuality with another sexuality, to people shipping aroace characters with others!!!

Representation matters even if it’s something you don’t like. Get over it.

Beyond the Bookshelves (12)

Pairing: Loki x Reader

Warnings: Workplace drama

Summary: You’re a Resource Management Specialist at S.H.I.E.L.D. normally referred to as “The Librarian”. You’ve been assigned the nightmarish task of digitizing all the physical resources currently owned by the agency, with a few new computers and one extra helper.

A/N:

Life really hit me with major events back to back since mid May. The dust has finally settled though, and I've got a better handle on my schedule. I'll try to update more routinely.

Please comment/like/reblog. If you’d like to be tagged moving forward, please let me know! (If I missed any tags, please let me know, I’ll add you right away!) I’d also greatly appreciate it if rebloggers remember to add the tags (or some at least).

The lovely banners used in this fic are from @cafekitsune.

If you’re new to the story, please check out the master post for the rest of the chapters.

“Good afternoon agents, Avengers, and the one probationary member,” Agent Pruyn greeted the team cheerily until his gaze landed finally on Loki. There was a subtle snarl to his lips, a look that amused the trickster god instead of offending him. The lack of reaction at the obvious jab only further troubled Pruyn and Loki lavished in his irritation.

“How magnanimous of you to greet me in particular. You are too kind, agent.” Loki flashed him a charismatic politician smile that had some female agents in present company dazzled.

“Loki,” Black Widow’s voice was stern, but it held a tinge of exasperation. Something he thought was misdirected at him, since the one who started all this was Pruyn. The prince said nothing, he merely shrugged his shoulders and turned his palms upwards.

“Why are we here?” Hawkeye redirected the attention back to the question that was on most of their minds. 

“It's about the changes to the mission. There’s too much risk.” Agent Pruyn cut to the chase. “We’re going to be behind and will most lose valuable time wasted in running unnecessary logistics, scenarios, and covenant countermeasures. We've already mapped out everything, and all plans rehearsed to perfection. Going back to start from scratch is pointless and a promised failure.”

“Is it truly such a waste when we minimize the chances of failure through the redistribution of tasks and placing the proper soldiers in optimal positions in which they will excel?” Loki raised one of his eyebrows, sitting back against his chair,  hands steepled, elbows resting on the arms of the chair. He was completely unbothered by the remarks made intentionally to hurt him. “The spider and bird are perfect for infiltration and retrieval of the data we aim to possess. Though I’m capable of doing so as well, there’s no point in arguing the point because you don't trust me with that intel. You will question me forever, and if anything were to happen later on, it will automatically fall upon me as the reason for failure. I rather that that time and energy be spent more wisely. A prime example of wasting time is this highly unnecessary meeting. Instead of the team adjusting what is needed based on the last meeting and reconvening after all research has been completed, you are here feeling jilted because my adjustments make more sense. Am I wrong, Agent?”

Pruyn grit his teeth to swallow the anger rising from the humiliation he just experienced. Each word of that vitriol was a razor sharp blade cutting into his pride and reputation, exposing his hatred towards the second prince, which he did his best to mask with neutrality and false kindness. “You misunderstand me,” he plastered a pressed smile on his face. Don’t let him get to you.

“Oh? What did I misunderstand? The part that the team as a whole agreed the change in plan was best between the two plans, or the fact that you wish to set us up with an increased risk of failure? Or did you think I misunderstood the fact that you intend to have me in a position of scrutiny and be used as a scapegoat if things were to not go as we anticipated?” Though he was seated and Pruyn was standing, the verbal undressing easily told the room that it was Loki looking down on Pruyn.

“Agent Pruyn, we all agreed to these changes, did we not?” Natasha cut in, breaking the tension building between the two.

“Yes, but afterwards some of us reconsidered due to doubts.” He softened, humbling himself before the famous Black Widow.

“What doubts? Let’s clear the air now and move in. We're wasting time with all these side conversations.” Clint looked around the room at everyone. Small mumbles of ‘well’s and ‘it’s’ rose up and quickly died down as no one could really pinpoint the reasons for the hesitation.

It’s because none of you wish to accept the fact that I came up with this plan, and I was supported by both of your ‘precious’ Avengers. Loki withheld himself from rolling his eyes in response to the idiocy. “It seems I’ve managed to dispel whatever concerns there were.” 

“Right, so if there’s nothing, get this done as soon as possible. You already got Fury’s approval, so why second guess?” Clint reminded them, an awkward silence instantly fell over them. “You did get Fury’s approval, right?” He frowned.

“Is it pending approval? We can talk to Fury to expedite the review process.” Natasha assured them, but the silence only grew heavier, and Loki felt his irritation at such incompetence rise up. He did not care for their approval or expect any kindness without earned merit, but to stall and cause unnecessary delays and under his name was an insult. “We told you to submit this change for approval weeks ago. Get it done so we can move on.” She sighed in exasperation.

“This is the waste of time you were so set on avoiding.” Clint stood from his seat. “The next time we meet better be a proper strategy meeting, or we might need to hand this off to another team if you can't manage it.” He looked at Pruyn who was the lead agent on this. 

“Of course, an oversight like this won’t happen again. I hadn’t realized it wasn’t already submitted and pending.” He bowed his head and rubbed the back of his neck, the other agents lowering their heads as well. That arrogant asshole, who the hell does he think he is coming in and changing my mission plan? I've been doing this for years, I’m one of the best! He should be locked away in the Raft!

“There better not be.” Natasha stood from her seat. “We can end this meeting here. Get to work.” Loki silently stood from his seat and was the first to leave the room.

Peace and quiet, that is how he preferred his days as a whole. Sadly, in a tower filled with chattering Midgardians and his own energetic brother, finding such solace was a Herculean task. Even the sanctity of the library was marred with noise from time to time. It was hardly as loud, but it was always so much more vexing; especially after a meeting earlier in the week with the insufferable Agent Pruyn trying to create holes that he could not find in Loki’s proposed plan that was supposed to be enacted.

What a farce this all is, strutting around like swans, when they are nothing but frogs. Trying to deceive me, the god of deception? He scoffed. The pitiful Midgardian, picking a fight with someone who has fought battles and strategized far before he was even a thought for conception. He flipped the page of the book in his hands, looking up at the sound of footsteps coming his way. The employees jumped and scurried away quickly, and he frowned. This was the tenth time he has looked up at the sound of steps. Each time it broke his concentration on the page. He was on edge and there was no logical reason as to why, which only irritated him further. The next set of steps had him looking up, again, only to see someone unknown to him, again. “Dammit,” he snapped the book shut and slammed it down on the table. The person let out some high-pitched sound and fled from the scene like some field mouse, but that did not matter to the prince. “Why, in all the Nine Realms, am I unable to concentrate? That imbecilic agent is hardly worth ruining my precious reading time!” He muttered to himself, glaring at the cover of the book. Something was amiss, and it was not of his doing. Could it be, no! That’s utterly preposterous! What do I have to do with that? He dismissed the fleeting though before it could fully form. “Idiocy is a plague that will vex me for eternity. My talents and insight were wasted because of them.” He reasoned, standing from his seat. With the flick of his hand, the book jumped into the air and slid back into its place on the shelf. Training will help me release this nagging. With his mind set, he made his way out of the library without even glancing at the Librarian’s desk.

The famous city was quickly coming to life as people and critters began their morning routines. Among the moving parts stood Y/N, looking up at the towering building she called work. The one day of rest had quickly unraveled into a week. When was the last time she took a day off? Even when she felt like a radioactive snotty sludge monster, she made sure to look alive enough to make it in.

But there was no star-spangled hero rushing to the infirmary for attention those times. The rumor reels should've died down enough by now, right? She tightened her grip on her bag and stood as tall as she could. There was only one way to find out. Bracing herself, she walked in through the main entrance and greeted the receptionists warmly. The reply back was a robotic one, but it was promising. No funny looks or asking too many questions, that's good! That means things have settled. Obviously, they’ve realized that it's nothing more than him doing his duty helping a coworker. She sighed with relief and made her way through the employee entrance to head to her post.

When she finally got to her office, she sat in her chair and stared at the black computer screen, her darkened reflection staring back at her. No one seemed to care about her presence, one way or another. It’s great that no one in particular is asking about that day and Captain Rogers, but they aren’t asking anything? I was out for a whole week. She frowned at the monitor. “Did no one even notice? I know I’m not that important that my absence would cause all hell to break loose, but someone had to have noticed, right?” She thought to herself aloud, as if her reflection would respond and help soothe the sting of expendability. It was the chime of the door opening that dragged her from the self-pity as she turned on the desktop. “Good morning, welcome to the library. Do you need me to assist you in finding anything?"

“Y/N, is that you?” The voice had her standing up from her seat as she looked up.

────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ────

Captain America

I mean #1 he is a SUPER-SOLDIER he is a 90 year old man inside a 30 year olds body because he basically can’t die. Super strength, intelligence, incredible combat abilities…THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. Again he’s an american hero hence his name Captain America.

BACKSTORY: he was born quirkless so he joined the army to help instead. Decided he wanted to be a part of something bigger so he decided to be a little science experiment. Ended up getting a quirk which is his ability to not die and super strength.

IRON MAN

Parents used to think he was quirkless until he just become extremely smart. His quirk is extremely advanced intelligence. He has a bunch of different suits and is just disgustingly smart like it’s insane. Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist.

BACKSTORY: late quirk bloomer, randomly became extremely smart so that was just his quirk I guess. Become an engineer and made all this technology and weapons for the military until he started selling to the wrong people, giving himself a bad name. He then became to create his own suits to fight against villains. Lastly, started the hero group known as the Avengers.

THE HULK

Oh my sweet Bruce Banner. This nerd wanted nothing to do with the hero wild but here he is! Big and green and mean. His quirk was easier to handle when he was younger, considering he didn’t get as mad as often and he could control it himself too. He’s a scientist and astrophysicist, hero on the side. Forced into this Avengers bs.

BACKSTORY: Bruce was a sweet boy who loved science and also heroes. He was bullied for his quirk being “villain like” his anger getting to the best of him. Learning to control it took a while, but soft music and touches from Black Widow calm him down.

HAWKEYE

His quirk is just amazing. Literally WALKING AIMBOT. Never misses, never has, never will. His Bow and Arrow becoming his best friend, never missing a target no matter where he’s looking. He’s also learned to manufacture many different kinds of arrows. Some that explode on impact, some that catch on fire, some that release poison. It’s all game for him!

BACKSTORY: He used to think his quirk wasn’t strong, so he become and agent for a team working under the government. He was then captured and tortured, finally breaking free he learned his quirk is more important and stronger than he thought.

THOR

Just imagine he’s not a god here, he’s just a big ass guy. His parents were both heroes, his brother Loki being adopted but becoming a villain. He was bigger, stronger, more handsome, he was just the favorite. That’s what killed Loki. Thor: Thunder hero. That sounded great to him.

BACKSTORY: Coming from a wealthy family, he gained his father’s quirk. He was given his hammer as a family heirloom, passed down many generations. He had grueling training to harness his ability to control lightning and thunder. His hammer is what harnesses his power, only if you’ve never lied can you hold his hammer. (Like in the movies, no one can lift it but him.)

BLACK WIDOW

Oh my poor traumatized queen. From Russia, quirkless, joined the same team as Hawkeye as an agent. She was tortured and almost killed, but Hawkeye saved her. She decided that she wanted to become the first quirkless hero. Her amazing combat skills being unmatched.

BACKSTORY: She became a hero after wanting to show quirkless people they can also become a hero (deku ahh shit). Her unparalleled ability to use military grade equipment and combat is amazing. Her and Hawkeye went through the same thing as agents.

ANYWAYYYY i thought this was a cute lil idea bc i was watching some avengers movies

LMK IF YOU WANT A PART 2

remember to go check out my wattpad and read my slowburn okay byeeeee 🥰🥰

[gelu-the-babosa-multiversal]

What do the Avengers think of Cody after discovering that he has Thor's hammer?

Thor: He is going to be very confused as to why a human child was able to lift Mjolnir and why the kid has a monstrous appearance when he transforms. At first, Thor's goal would be to get back his hammer at any cost, thinking before meeting Cody that he would fight to get Mjolnir back, but got shocked when Cody accepted to return the hammer at the first request… thought, the hammer would not obey that request.

Wasp: she would love him! Wasp would just see Cody as the cutest thing in the world. Since the appearance of the boy is of a fluffy griffin it would be very hard for Wasp to resist petting him. Thought, she wonders why Cody doesn't have wins when he is a griffin. Still, Wasp is willing to help Cody and protect him from any villain who wants to harm him (Morocco is shaking in the background).

Ant Man: ¨kid, where are your parents?¨ Probably the most worried of the team because of the fact that the one who wields a weapon from the gods is a 10-year-old kid. Thought, he is surprised at the level of empathy and stubbornness the kid has when facing problems. But gets very worried when he learns that there's an immortal English man looking to kill the kid, an extravagant hunter who wants the kid as a trophy, a rich lady (that might not be human) in the position of some dangerous tech that also wants to kill the kid… and a crazy girl whos hair looks like bacon that wants to trap the kid and sell him to whoever pays the better… also some Gods and Monsters, but in this situation the humans are scarier…

Iron Man: well, the kid did say he would return the hammer, so mission accomplished! Well, nop! The hammer doesn't want to cooperate and is having a tantrum. This also mostly involves ¨magic¨ so Tony would have a harder time understanding what is happening 70% of the time… well, at least with the Greene family Tony can have a space to share his ideas and be as creative as he never could! It is kinda nice, and the daughter of the main scientist is really smart and shares a lot of Tony's style… but who is the little girl dressed in purple who has been following him!??

Captain America: totally vives with the kid and sees a bright future for him with and without the hammer! Thought, Steve does agree with Hank in the fact that a child so young should not be involved in dangerous situations, and should not be wanted dead by villains! But sees too how the boy's tenacity has helped so many on the island.

Hawkeye: ¨Man, what a disappointment, I thought that we were going to fight Loki or a giant…¨ Clint says before Wasp punches him in the face…

Hulk: ¨too small to fight…¨ it means that Cody is still too small to punch. Hulk needs an opponent as big as Wasp to punch! Well, it actually means that Cody is too nice and offered Hulk food so the kid is safe…

Bruce Banner: ¨… what Hulk said¨

Black Panther: [starts a secret investigation on the whole Griffin Rock island and takes a deep look at the Burns family] Quickly Cody catches him doing that because the kid has the eyes of a falcon and 100 cameras working full time! Actually, very impressive. T'challa was really caught in surprise when Cody caught up in his tricks to access security and was more surprised when the child was not mad at him, and much much surprised when Cody asked him if he wanted to check something in particular on the main lab computer…

Did I forget someone???

Ironheart Episodes 1-3 Thoughts!

I think we all felt certain fears when Ironheart began to roll out the marketing. Not just because they left it REALLY late, but because this show was getting shit on by the grifters from day fucking 1. That and the internet's tendency to crap on the MCU, especially on non white led projects (cough BNW cough), and it really felt like Ironheart was gonna get hated on no matter how good it was.

I'll admit that I don't have much of a connection to Riri Williams myself. I've never read a single comic with her (not by choice, I just haven't really run into her stuff), and while I like her just fine in Wakanda Forever, I watch that for Shuri and Wakanda, not for Riri. In other words, I wasn't exactly super hyped myself, though definitely up for being proven wrong, as the MCU has often managed to make me a big fan of a character I didn't expect to like that much (Iron Man, Thor, Bucky, Sam, Yelena, Hawkeye, The Guardians, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Moon Knight, etc. etc. etc.).

Point is, I wasn't sure if I'd love Ironheart, but I was hopeful, especially when Ryan Coogler was announced as exec producer.

And, lo and behold, Ironheart isn't just good, it's so good that the only haters are the racists! It's got good reviews, it's got fans, it's got genuine praise! Sure, the release order has meant that Ironheart won't take over as it could have, which is a damn shame, but fuck it, it's been good stuff!

Spoilers under the cut:

Let's start with Riri, who I think has been a shockingly compelling MC, and quite a different kind too! Sure, she shares elements with Tony and Scott (the impulsive panic attack stricken genius and the down on her luck hero that needs to steal), but she's also, and this is quite important, dirt poor and desperate. If Kamala was the happy teen hero, Riri is the depressed version, the batman to Kamala's Superman (now won't THAT be a dynamic for Champions?). Her spiral of chaos leads every episode, and it's so engaging to see how she keeps digging deeper and deeper while just trying to get out. I also love that her motivations so far, while with pure elements (after all, she wants to use the suit to help out people), are also quite different than your normal superhero: She wants to make something iconic, she wants to matter. It's a (in a good way) selfish motive, and not one common for the genre.

Of course, as good as Riri is, it's the bouncing off of others that's really made her work: N.A.T.A.L.I.E, my new favorite MCU character (well, her and the beloved Zeke Stane), has been a breath of fresh air: After a bunch of A.I assistants that are, respectfully, J.A.R.V.I.S and his inferior copies, it's fun to have one that's literally your weirdo best friend/sister figure. N.A.T.A.L.I.E feels like... Well, like no other character in the MCU. At best, some of the She-Hulk supporting cast come close. She's a completely normal person, even more than Katie and Madisynn were, and it's her casual can do attitude that differentiates from everyone else, equally comfortable making jokes and references as she is to calming Riri down from a panic attack. She's so totally herself and it makes her extremely lovable, not to mention making her deliver the funniest moments of the show (besides Zeke Stane). If she survives these next 3 episodes (oh please, oh please, oh please), she's going to be a highlight in any installment she's in, and if she dies, well, it's gonna be up there with the hardest deaths in the MCU.

Speaking of funny and precious characters I hope don't turn evil or die, Zeke Stane, baby! That twist had me gaping for 40 fucking seconds, no joke! Longtime lore divers like me know that Zeke was originally Loki's Dragon in The Avengers, which would have made the movie a little too Iron Man centric imo. That decision has unintentionally led to one of the most fun turns I've seen in the MCU in ages: the son of the villain who desperately doesn't want to be like him and also just really isn't like him. Zeke's anxious, actually intelligent and resourceful, awkward, weird and goofy. The man can't blackmail without being adorable. If we were back in 2020, Tumblr would be simping so hard. Sadly, we're in 2025, and being an MCU fan is seen as some kind of weird sin by most of the users here XD but regardless, Zeke is something else! Definitely wanna make a post talking about his character in general after seeing the next few eps (again, please don't die/turn evil). I really like his dynamic with Riri, because it's hard to peg down. They're not family, they're not found family, they're not exactly friends (though they ain't far off from it), they're not rivals (yet), they're not lovers (thank fuck), and they're not really partners either. Zeke's like this weird loose end that Riri's tied to, and it's adding a seriously great stake to the show. Riri's crimes have trapped this (mostly) innocent guy in the crossfire. If he turns bad, dies, or just gets hurt, that's on her. She's hurt someone instead of help them, and I find that quite engaging.

Well, we've covered 3 of the 4 major characters, so let's talk Hood! I'll admit, Parker was not my favorite after episodes 1 and 2. I didn't hate him, not at all, and Antony Ramos' quietly intense and always one smirk away from snapping performance has been really quite good! But outside of the Mephisto hints, I wasn't really feeling him, especially with the very obscure "I want to protect the people I love" motivation. Like, dude, outside of John, who do you even love here? And you two weren't exactly that buddy buddy.

But then, episode 3 hits, and Hood goes from okay to FIRE. That fucking fight scene, that intense contract offer, that ending scene where he acts the fuck out of his anger and then sees the hulking ironheart suit that ended the one thing he had in this life. Antony Ramos and the script COOKED, and now I'm genuinely excited to see what happens with him! Is he gonna die, redeem, get stuck in hell? So many options that could lead to ramifications for Riri! May I add as well that that bullet returning thing is so fucking cool. Mandalorian season 1 episode 6 vibes all over the place.

Speaking of, let's talk action! I wouldn't say every single scene has hit (I would argue that the best action scene until episode 3 was the elevator escape, as much as I did like the creative car tunnel scene). But then we get to the greenhouse on the ocean (an incredible setpiece, especially visually, them colors!)! That shit went hard, such a unique location we've never seen before in the MCU, with some horror movie esque action, from Hood's utter beatdown of the guards (plus the murder of the CEO) to Riri's escape from John, that stuff was intense, similar to the Ms. Marvel wedding escape scene, but far far FAR more intense and scary. I was fearing for Riri and the crew, and John's death felt genuinely harrowing. Every suit scene has also been incredible, that CGI has been so good you haven't heard ANYONE whine about it! Admittedly, this is because they mixed in some practical, but the praise remains! Why it looks better here than in a full blown movie is hard to explain, but who cares, it looks fucking sick!

What else, what else... Well, I suppose we can stick a few "not bad but could be improved" elements right here real quick: Riri's mom could use a little more screen time (the drama's been great but we need just a bit more, this doesn't compare to Ms. Marvel's family drama so far); Xa is... Fine. He's very very VERY okay. A totally acceptable love interest. Just sitting here waiting for Viv Vision to rizz Riri up. Oh, and the crew are fun, but no one REALLY stands out (well, except for Slug! Slug's fun! Everyone else... Not really feeling you, sorry).

Now, for things I'm looking forward to in the next 3 episodes:

Mephisto, but that's a given.

The magic and science combos, that's gonna be really interesting and tight, calls back to Thor's old argument that magic and science are similar.

The fates of N.A.T.A.L.I.E, Hood and Zeke.

Will there even be a hint of Riri's involvement in Doomsday/Secret Wars OR with Champions? I know the Ms. Marvel and Kate Bishop post credit scene was axed (boo) and the Dormammu connections were sadly cut, but will we at least get some kind of hint at it? I really wanna see my girl in those movies!

And ofc, the Dr. Strange connections! I wanna see how this sets up Strange Academy, I want my GOAT back, it's been 3 long years!

I think that's all I have so far, watching episode 4 tonight! Do try and be patient with me, I am watching with my sister and she can't watch every day, so it will take me a little to finish up! Once I do, btw, we move onto FF era! (which I will also take a while to get to, as I'm probably watching around end of July/Early August).

What do you think of Ironheart? What's been your favorite and least favorite ep, character, moments, etc.? Share your (kind, peaceful, respectful) comments!

[lizzieisright]

Okay just a little thing about characters in my Marvel AU: (I kidnapped Acrane women for it. Again)

Original six:

Captain America!Abby. She is untrusting but honourable, worn out already: the new world is foreign and weird and her adjustment is still ongoing. She still dresses like her time, but if Steve looked like a grandpa Abby just looks like your friendly neighbourhood lesbian. Fun fact! She had a small guy named Steve to teach her grandma computer courses. He also taught her how to not get tracked on the web.

Iron Man!Ellie. Cocky, explosive, genius. Lost her mom and Joel after a stupid fight, got angry and started building weapons because of it. After being captured and almost dying gets back into her mom's vision of Williams Industries and starts building things to help people, and because she is a fucking Ellie Williams she is as rich as before.

Black Widow!Reader. You're a Russian assassin who escaped to the US after getting on a bad side with a lot of people in Europe. Let's just say Shield missions to Europe are a big pain in your ass. You put up a polite smily front because your grim attitude is not something Americans appreciate. (Guess who will)

Hawkeye!Manny. He is just a funny guy who saved your ass back in Europe and because I wanted to have one guy on a team the same way they only had Natasha. Manny doesn't have a secret family on the side, he is just there making a little team of cold blooded sarcastic assassins with you. You don't need to smile as much around him.

Thor!Vi. Got sent to Earth for punishment and instead fell in love with the little world. She is still visiting her friend Darcy and gives her incredibly crazy love advice from time to time.

Hulk!Caitlyn. This one doesn't really make sense, but the comedic potential is good. ("How many PhDs does Hulk have? Zero! I have seven" with Thor!Vi by her side can you imagine?). Caitlyn was too curious about Abby's story and tried to recreate the serum but ended up becoming a giantess who almost destroyed Harlem. She is very awkward and nervous, and hates being lied to. Tried to get away from gamma-radiation research and went away to help the poor with her medical skills.

Now others:

Fury!Sevika. Because these people need someone with no bullshit attitude. Sevika is constantly tired and smokes so much it's a miracle her lungs work. She is tough and doesn't tolerate anyone's shit. We don't know her story and we actually shouldn't.

Loki!Jinx. It's in the name. Vi's little sister who adored her, but when the time came to choose between her and humanity Vi chose humanity. And then it turned out her hair is blue for a reason and Jinx is not only adopted but also the child of an enemy. Jinx is out for revenge. She plans to destroy Earth with everyone on it to get Vi and then destroy Asgard to get Vander. (Also the comedic potential of Caitlyn repeatedly slamming Jinx into the floor)

Pepper!Dina. The only person who can make Ellie do something she doesn't want to. Dina gets shit done and done brilliantly.

Maria Hill is now also a Coulson and gets paid double.

Too little to worry, too smart to handle

I just started writing this, I have no idea myself where this is headed or if it’ll even end up having an end or a continuation.. I whipped this up on the spot and it’s been the first in a couple of months that i was truly kinda happy with lmao. Anyways have fun with cranky Avengers and an exited Peter Parker.

------------------

There wasn't a lot that the Avengers agreed on, Civil war being the best example which also created a weird spiderweb of secrets and missunderstandings. Everyone had some kind of secret, like how Stark decided with Pepper to open places for interns, or how Clint and Natasha knew of a very reliable information source and ally that no one else could've possibly known about. Or how Bucky knew of said ally...

You see... things could get awkward.

Even after a demand from Fury himself the team was squabbling on wether or not they should act.

They were seated around the huge table in the meeting room, Loki and Thor watching the men who leaned over the table, pointing at each other as they tried to make a point. ...The issue?

Fury wanted Spiderman and an underground informant with the name of Veres, they both were a high threat by now and Spiderman's fans started getting loud, louder then the Avengers community! Spiderman was more then his fans however, he was able to stop a driving bus with his bare hands! Even a train! He was way too dangerous to have around and no information of. And the informant? Well, she was a fierce archer simillar to Hawkeye, mere difference, she wielded a compound and recourve bow, it was rare to see her with a 'normal bow'. Aside from that she seemed to be enhanced, no one could dissapear like her and no one could achieve the intell she gathered so easily.

Tony groaned at Steve "Spiderman is a mere teenager, he wouldn't hurt a fly!" he argued "Tell that to the criminals he apprehended, Stark!" Steve growled "Oh come on, has he ever hurt a civillian?!" he growled right back.

Clint hummed "Aside from him being a teenager and on the kid of rigth path, if we hurt him he won't be as cooperative, the plan to hunt him down is.." he raised his eyebrows and pulled a face, signalling the words he was not about to say aloud. Stark grinned "see, even Legolas knows better." Clint raised an unamused eyebrow, what the hell did that mean??

Loki smirked behind his hand, Natasha stared at the men, calculating her own argument.

Sam groaned "Can't we just gather information about their whereabouts first? We have no idea where that Spider and that weird informant hang around." "No, the second we have their whereabouts we need to move!" Steve's pointer poked the table, trying to make his point clear.

Bucky shook his head in silence. Thor cleared his throat "May I?" "NO!" Tony and Steve exclaimed together making Thor stare at them for a second before shurgging and looking at his brother who was having a rough time keeping his amusement at bay, he had his head down and hand at his forehead, hiding the amusement that could potetially cause a new wave of new arguments he did not want to be a part of. Thor shook his head with a small smile and his eyes fell back to the men.

Natasha pinched the bridge of her nose as the men kept on yelling at one another like children..

"You're too old to make a call anyways!" "Oho no, being older means I've seen things Stark, I know what i'm doing" "You were in an ice block for a couple hundred years! You out of all people have seen the least from the past few decades!" "you..-!"

"BOYS!"

Everyone flinched at the fury that came from the woman. The female stood by the table, her expression showing just how pissed she really was. "We have an order from Fury to gain intell and get them to the tower." she stated and crossed her arms "For once in your lives, think. This isn't some Hydra infiltration mission, we're working with enhanced Vigilantes." she sighed "Does everyone understand the term Vigilante? Or do I have to explain?"

Everyone eyed another and then Natasha, sure a Vigilante.. Someone who breaks the law to ensure the safety of others, all in all a noble act if it wouldn't be illegal.

"So, can we focus on gathering information?" / /

In the meanwhile somewhere in Queens a brown haired male by the name of Peter raced home.

His grin never once vanished, even as he jumped up the stairs of the apartment building he lived in. Peter fumbled with the keys and quickly unlocked the door, "Oh aunt Maaay~!" he sang cheerfully as he entered and pushed the door back into the lock. "Oh Peterrrr~" came the relatively young voice from the kitchen, where his aunts head poked out of the doorway, smiling at his cheerfulness.

"hi!" he chirped as he set a small folder of papers down and let his bagpack slip onto the table, shoes already been left at the door. "You'll never guess what happened today!" he grinned and joined her side in the kitchen, the woman set the knife down which peter took to help her cut up some salad. "What happened?" she smiled as she watched the still growing boy. Peter sniggered, his exitement practically bubbling in him, ready to overflow any second. "We had a test todaaaay.." he said, circling around his point, "Guess what about." his smile as bright as the sun.

May raised an eyebrow, a test? She eyed the calander, seeing that her nephew shouldn't have had a test today. "I.. don't know." she hummed. A surprise test? But he seemed happy about whatever had happened..

Peter sniggered and shook his head "So, let me explain! Mister Harrington came in today, as annoyed at us as usual" he said, making May smile at him. "He was like 'Alright Everyone sit down! I have news'!" he mocked his teacher by standing impossibly straight and pointing at the air with his free hand. May smiled and took the cut up salad, placing it into a bowl.

"And we all were like 'huh, usually the news arent much'" he shurgged, starting to pace the ground "but then, he went 'We got surpising news from the principal!' and I turned to Ned who also didnt seem to know and MJ seemed as confused until-" he halted at the amused, smug and knowing look his aunt sent him, making him clear his throat in embarrassment, a chuckle escaping him "Mister Stark opened internships for us at Midtown."

May gaped at him. He WHAT?!

She swallowed her surpise and turned to the salad "That sounds great, just for you at midtown?" she asked curiously. Peter smiled "Yeah, he heard of our many wins with the AcaDec team, so he's giving us a chance, the test was to see if anyone was qualified." he eyed her as he reached for plates in a higher shelf "I know you don't think too highly about him, but-" May turned to him "If you can learn technical skills from him I don't think you should miss that opportunity Peter" she smiled reassuringly "Yes I know but-" he froze with the plates in his hands before perking up "Really Aunt May!? Thank you!" he exclaimed and bounced to get the table set.

May sniggered and got to joining Peter. Sometimes she wondered where he got such enormous bouts of energy from, but it was endaring to see.

//

As evening fell, some Avengers were sleeping, some were awake, still searching for anything that could lead them to their targets, May was at the night shift at the hospital and Peter was asleep, or was he?

Truly, the male was swinging around, sometimes jogging over rooftops as he partolled the neighbourhoods. Below him, in an alley somewhere was a female, dark coloured hair, black siren eyes. She watched him swing by before vanishing in the alleys anew.

Peter frowned at the low buzzing that night, what was going on..?

[buggybuggboo]

tmnt 2012 marvel rivals mains

so if you know me you know I love marvel rivals and tmnt so i’ve been meaning to make this kinda niche headcanon thing

this is written with 2012 in mind but I think it could be used for any version

anyways here you go!!!!

leo:

tank: I could see him playing as cap or thor, 2 characters who are typically good and leader like. I think he could be a cap fan in general

duelist: psylocke and you can’t change my mind. she’s pretty, cool, a ninja. I could see him being a stupid good storm player too…

strategist: adam warlock, loki?? I could see him loving adam and maybe possibly quoting him. when no one is watching him he’ll play luna snow and has her as lord, she’s his favorite! he also plays as a healer the most.

Raph: (my favorite)

Tank: easy, the thing or venom! i’ve always thought of him as a spider man/venom fan so I could see him playing venom the most and having lord on him. if venom is taken he’ll take thing instead, he’s fun enough.

duelist: magik is his go-to duelist. she’s cool and has a badass sword! He almost always gets MVP whenever he plays her. He secretly really enjoys playing wanda too…(omg I forgot to mention but bucky and wolverine omg he loves them fr)

strategist: he rarely plays as a healer but if he needs to, he’ll choose rocket racoon. he’s badass and has a fun gun.

donnie:

tank: it’s not common to catch him as a tank but he’d play dr stranger. he isn’t very good at tank, always getting a score around 8 kills and way to many deaths.

duelist: he tried hawkeye once and was really good, but got bored. I see him as moonknight or storm player. he always gets a team wipe with moonknights alt

strategist: he often plays cloak and dagger, a fun mix of healer and duelist. he thinks cloak is pretty cool and likes their ult

(help donnie was so hard to write oh my god)

mikey: omg yay

tank: groot! he plays groot and he’s good too. always carrying the team and healing with his wall, he’s good at wall placements. he likes the silly cute plants groot leaves behind his steps

duelist: star-lord omg don’t get me started. I see them as alike!! he’s a lord star-lord (fun thing to say) and he absolutely destroys the other team.

strategist: claims healer is a boing role but will take jeff if possible. he’s cute and can do some good damage! he misses his ult a lot though and flops

this was so fun to write thanks bye

heres my notes btw

[percheduphere]

something I've been wondering about is how others will react to Loki's new power/position. I constantly joke about it, but it could be a serious question. So, how do you think people like the Avengers would react to this? I used to think they would just continue to be untrustworthy towards him but like...How would they feel realizing one of their former enemies could (maybe?) erase them from existence but chooses not to. Scared? Or just confused?

Ooo... I LOVE this question! Thank you for asking it! Let's go through some characters one by one, starting with my favorite:

MOBIUS - I imagine he would be very proud and impressed with Loki, but a part of him would also feel insecure about his place in Loki's life. His primary motivations were to provide Loki with a second chance, an environment in which he could thrive, and friendship and support. In terms of plot, Mobius has served his purpose. He might feel Loki no longer needs him but would hide this feeling with self-deprecating humor about being a "washed up analyst". I think he would be in awe of Loki's power, genuinely delighted by it, but also feel personally obsolete by comparison. Once he sees that Loki is lonely, however, I think Mobius would be happy to serve a new purpose in keeping Loki company at the end of time. That is, if Loki confirms he wants him there.

SYLVIE - She will absolutely make a snarky comment about Loki's new clothes. It will be the first thing she says to him with a perfectly expressionless face: "Nice pyjamas", "Cool slippers", "Do your giant horns get tangled up in all those branches?" In front of others, she would treat him no differently than she's always had because omnipotent, omniscient power doesn't impress her. Unless she's enchanting, Sylvie isn't the touchy-feely type either. I think she would make an effort to thank Loki in private, though. Between the two of them, Loki is the one more likely to initiate a hug, and she would hug back awkwardly.

THOR - Poor Thor. He's been jerked around by multiple fake deaths. The first one was unintentional on Loki's part; he didn't intend to survive falling from the bifrost. The second one was intentional, and left Thor feeling betrayed yet again. The third was final. On first sight, he will likely accuse Loki of being a pretender. To avoid this, Mobius is the best person to provide an explanation before formal introductions. Failing that, I anticipate yelling, ugly crying, then hugging, followed by ALSO making fun of Loki's new clothes. I think Thor will be very proud of his brother, stunned (but pleased) that Loki can lift Mjolnir. That on its own should be enough proof for the other Avengers.

HAWKEYE - Hell no. Not having it. Will call bullshit on Yggdrasil even though it's true. Of the remaining Avengers, he has the most to be angry about when it comes to Loki. He'd be terrified of Loki's new powers (cursing about it every step of the way) and would accordingly arm himself to the teeth. Doesn't matter how much Loki proves himself trustworthy and apologizes. Being mind controlled by him was a traumatic experience. Even when working as allies, he'll park himself as far away as possible from Loki and make snide remarks about "free will".

BUCKY - Has had no real interactions with Loki, but would likely have heard stories from Steve and Sam. Having had a dark history himself, I think he'll be more open to welcoming Loki and giving him a chance. He may even present himself as an example (although others will say "brainwashing" is different). Chryo-freezing and everything he's been through with Hyrda and Thanos has likely blunted his ability to feel surprise in the face of raw power. Overtime, I think he'll come to like Loki, especially if Loki offers him the opportunity to talk to Steve again.

SAM - Was not involved in 2012, but Sam has a great sense of humor. I think he'll be shocked and cautious, but willing to give Loki a chance with the right precautions in place. I don't think he'd be mean about it, just practical. I think he'll find the Yggdrasil quite beautiful and poetic, and articulate it as such, then note that with kind of power, Loki could have easily destroyed them all by now but didn't.

FURY - Pissed as hell about these turn of events. He'll complain that all this goddamn fucking nonsense is bad for his heart. He'll side with Clint and enforce maximum security, which is useless against Loki's powers, but Loki would play along until people stop freaking out.

BRUCE - 2012 Bruce would Hulk-out. Post-Endgame Bruce knows Loki fought on their side and did what he could to protect Thor and buy both of them time before dying. Bruce's personal experience fighting his own demons will provide him with additional empathy. As for Loki's powers, he would be absolutely giddy for the opportunity to study it. Once he makes friends with Loki via Thor, Loki will be his favorite test subject and Loki will humor him for Thor's sake and his own curiosity.

DR. STRANGE - While he won't blink at time powers, he would highly doubt a universe with a good Loki exists. He's the most able to test Loki's abilities and can verify if Loki is indeed using his powers for good. Doesn't mean he'll ever trust him, though.

“LOKI” MARVEL STUDIOS LEGENDS EPISODES COMING SOON TO DISNEY+

Just ahead of the release of the second season of Marvel Studios “Loki” on Disney+, two new episodes of “Marvel Studios Legends” will be released on Disney+ on Friday, 29th September 2023.  Expect these episodes to also be released on YouTube, as Disney has recently started releasing previous episodes for free.

Marvel Studios’ “Legends” celebrates what has come before as viewers prepare to head deeper into the ever-expanding universe. Revisit the epic heroes, villains, and moments setting the stage for future events as they unfold. Explore the stories of characters like Loki, The Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Peter Quill, Rocket, Nick Fury, and more as they travel across Earth, the cosmos, and assorted timelines.

Here are the details on the two new episodes of Marvel Studios Legends:

“Variants”

Who is Loki? Is he a raven-haired chap in a green suit with a penchant for deception and depravity? Is he instead a she with blonde hair who prefers to be called Sylvie? Or could Loki actually be an overly sensitive alligator with golden horns and a taste for cats? Truth be told, Loki is all of the above — thanks to the existence of numerous Variants. Okay… so what exactly is a Variant? This episode of LEGENDS holds the answer to that critical question, and more. A Variant is an individual that doesn’t belong to the so-called “sacred timeline,” and thus hails from a kind of alternate reality where there might exist a very different version of Loki, or someone called Mobius, or Renslayer, or Kang. Still having trouble making sense of it all? Fear not, LEGENDS has got you covered!

“TVA”

There is a “sacred timeline” — a timeline that must be protected at all costs. And let’s hope that you and I are a genuine part of it. For if not, we might one day be visited by agents of the TIME VARIANCE AUTHORITY — agents who will be obligated to “prune” us and banish us to a nightmarish world that resides in perpetual isolation at the absolute end of time. LEGENDS explores the mysterious origins of the TVA, and sifts the fact from the fiction. Are the Time-Keepers truly a trio of godlike beings responsible for the TVA’s creation? Or, could they merely be artificial figureheads meant to obscure the identity of some flesh-and-blood mastermind possessing secrets both dark and ancient? This episode of LEGENDS holds every answer.

These episodes will be a great way of getting caught up on all the necessary things you need to know before the release of the second season of “Loki”,  or just give you a brief refresh.

Okay, this is like a continuation of two of my theories and I'm wondering if I'm onto something.

So I wondered if the count could have originally been a werewolf based on the fact that he seems to have always been immortal, gear saying that his kind has a technique to seperate a part of their spirit from them while pointing at his earing, that earing looking pretty similar to the pendants the count had on his necklace that seemed to contain the demons (probably sins he seperated from himself) and werewolves apparently being able to create descendants by sharing their life force with humans which apparently gives them and their human descendants special powers, just like the count letting humans drink his blood turned them into mages.

Now the only werewolf we've met so far is (neu)gear hatiwelt, a reference to the wolf hati in norse mythology who swallows the moon during ragnarok (doom of the gods). We even see gear use a technique that allowed him to temporarily swallow the red moon the antagonist have created to aid in the ritual:

In norse mythology hati also has a twin brother though, skalli, who swallows the sun during ragnarok. Could the count play the role of skalli? The preparations for the ritual to bring back the count did kind of block out the sun in tokyo, causing temperatures to drop and snow to fall in summer. Ragnarok too is preceded by a cruel winter:

The C3 tokyo branch uses characters from norse mythology for codenames, which makes it interesting to speculate if some characters in servamp will have a similar fate to their counterparts in ragnarok.

Ragnarok starts with the death of balder, a son of odin, caused by the deception of loki, the trickster.

Shuhei is called loki as a nickname by izuna, but shuhei is more like heimdall, the god of foreknowledge who has excellent eyes. Shuhei's ability to prepare for even unlikely situations is a recurring joke and his hawkeye ability allows him to see far and even through walls.

I think we can all agree that in reality the role of loki the trickster falls on mikuni. He lies, he cheats and tricks to get what he wants, he's charismatic and clever. Before he starts the ritual/ragnarok he kills tsurugi/balder:

This has already happened so the question is if the other characters will suffer a similar fate to their norse counterparts as well.

In ragnarok loki and heimdall end up killing each other, but while shuhei's and mikuni's relationship is complicated and at times antagonistic I don't really see them killing each other, but maybe shuhei will fight a mikuni clone and kill him and be injured by him.

Other important figures in ragnarok are odin and his son thor. We have no official character with the codename odin, but I think odin and touma might be linked.

Touma is currently wearing an eyepatch, meaning he's one-eyed like the wise allfather odin, who sacrificed one of his eyes for knowledge. Say what you want about touma, but he is smart and came close to figuring out how the ritual to create a servamp worked. Balder is odin's son and while they refer to each other as brothers touma and tsurugi's dynamic is somewhere between being father and son and brothers. Odin is also the father of thor and with both jun and tooru too injured to fight and mjölnir now in mahiru's hands I think mahiru can be counted as the new thor and unlike jun or tooru he is touma's/odin's son.

Odin and thor both die during ragnarok. Odin is swallowed by fenrir (a giant wolf and son of loki) while thor battles with jormungandre, a giant serpent, slaying the snake, but dying from the snake's poison only a few moments later.

So we don't know who fenrir could be. If he's not skalli maybe the count is fenrir? In some versions it's fenrir who swallows the sun, so I guess he could simply be both.

But maybe whatever I assume mikuni wants to do with tsurugi's corpse will turn him into fenrir? He did seem to want the corpse to be left as intact as possible:

and the corpse was gone when mikado woke up again, leaving only the blood behind. Tsurugi's character is also strongly linked to wolves, so turning him into fenris and having him fight/kill odin/touma would make narrative sense.

Mahiru on the other hand might end up fighting jeje/mikuni. Jeje is currently captured and mikuni was literally called a snake by higan in the most recent chapter so I guess mikuni counts as a snake alone too, but of course mikuni could go and free jeje and fight together with him against mahiru.

Mahiru is against killing, so I doubt he would slay mikuni on purpose, but there are also a bunch of mikuni clones running around right now that NEED to be killed so he could end up using lethal methods on the real mikuni by mistake I guess. Or he simply defeats him and/or jeje through other means. What I'm more worried about is that despite his victory thor dies from the snake's poison only a few moments later.

Thor is also not the only character mahiru has been linked to that dies at the end of the story from the poison of a snake. It's subtle, but both when mahiru was in kuro's mind the first time and later when mahiru and tsurugi's spirits talked with each after touma had shot mahiru he spent some time in a desert with a crashed airplane:

Which is a reference to "the little prince" by antoine de saint-exupéry, a novella that ends with the little prince getting bitten by a snake after the snake promised him it would bring him back to his home planet.

So...will mahiru win the fight, but still die? Hopefully he can be saved from that fate.
