Logan Howlett (Wolverine) Lore part 2 :)

Wow! You guys really appreciated my first post about Logan's backstory/lore and I'm grateful for all of your feedback!! Here's the link to part 1 if you're interested :)

I'm so happy to see all the love he's getting, its actually surreal to be a part of this fandom again and seeing all the new Wolverine content! The fanart and fanfics are literally my life-source rn. You don't even wanna know what my tiktok saved folder looks like....

You guys asked for more so here is part 2! It's not as organized as the first part, apologies. I'm using both the movies and comics here. Some stuff isn't confirmed but generally accepted in the mcu.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

Wolverine first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180. He was supposed to be a mutated human/animal but the idea was later scrapped.

He was approx. 197 years old when he died in the movie 'Logan'

There's multiple different deaths in the comics but I wont get into that.

Logan is 5'3"- 5'5" (short king)

He has black hair and blue eyes

Before the adamantium, he weighed 196lbs (88kg). After the binding he was 300lbs (136kg)

His body is poisoned by the adamantium metal as it breaks down over time. Requiring him to be in a constant state of regeneration, which begins to slow down as he ages.

Without the metal he probably could have lived a lot longer.

Logan has a fear of water, or rather, drowning. It’s one of the only times can’t regenerate. It would cause his death.

The Weapon X program is also responsible for this fear since he was submerged under water for a long period of time for the binding.

The metal in his body also makes him so heavy it would be very difficult for him to swim.

In the comics Logan temporarily loses his healing factor due to a virus created by Dr. Abraham Cornelius. (Weapon X scientist) This event leaves him vulnerable for the first time in his life, forcing him to confront the reality of his mortality.

His healing ability greatly affects his mental state. Logan can quickly recover from physical damage, but he still feels all the pain. His ability to cope and endure despite the overwhelming suffering is central to his character.

Logan has an acute sense of smell. He can track people and objects across a great distance. It’s so precise that he can identify people’s emotional states such as fear or anger. Even when someone is lying.

Logan was sensitive, shy, and timid as a child.

The first person he ever killed was his biological father.

After killing his father he ran away from home with his friend Rose. (a hired companion to help care for him when he was young). Unfortunately, Logan accidently killed her during a fight.

Logan speaks several languages, due to his extensive life and travels. He speaks English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Cheyenne and Lakota.

He’s actually an incredibly smart guy, don’t let him fool you.

Despite his love for alcohol, Logan’s healing factor makes it nearly impossible for him to get drunk.

Logan brews his own beer in the Origins comics. (we love a domestic husband)

On Logan’s birthday every year, Sabretooth seeks him out just to beat him up as a twisted "gift." Sabretooth calls this tradition "birthday beatings."

Spider-Man and Wolverine have teamed up a few times in the comics and they are a hilarious pair.

Logan's "berserker rage" is not just a result of his animalistic mutant powers. But stems from his deep psychological trauma. This side of him only emerges when he is pushed into extreme emotional or physical stress.

At one point before he escaped the Weapon X experiment, he was hired to kill Charles Xavier.

Logan's wife Itsu and son Daken were allegedly killed by the Winter Soldier, however it was later revealed that his son actually lived and had been consumed by hatred for his father. Logan was forced to kill his own son before he could cause more harm.

This act is one of, if not the most painful moment in Logan’s life, as it represents his ultimate failure as a father.

Logan blames himself for Jean Grey’s death.

He lived a majority of his life without his memories. Having no idea who he actually is.

Despite his involvement with the X-Men and his many close relationships he often feels like an outsider. Like he doesn’t belong anywhere. He isolates himself because loneliness is a familiar feeling.

Logan prefers the solitude and sanctity of nature. He loves the outdoors and has a lot of respect for the natural world. Often retreating into the wild for his own peace.

In one comic he baby sits Luke Cage and Jessica Jones daughter. Danielle Cage.

He can be quite playful at times with the younger mutants. For example, building a snowman with Jubilee.

Logan dreams of a normal life. He dreams of having a family with a wife and children and leaving the violence behind.

the art director for dai was one of people who got fired/resigned very suddenly from bioware... sad tbh, just a few weeks before he left he was resharing fanart on twitter and talking about how excited and proud he was to be on the game. i think my tolerance for bioware's Centrism Writing has waned over the years and i probably won't be interested when it launches, and also that trailer was giving mcu energy... i am unsure, may just wait until it's on sale if i decide to get it.

He (and the rest of the team) should be proud! It's not bad, just unexpected. If this wasn't Dragon Age, with all the expectations & history that come with that, this would just be a cool-looking colorful single-player game.

My feelings are the same re: if I don't feel I'll enjoy something then I won't purchase it. I'm not an influencer or a brand ambassador so I will speak my mind as usual lol. But given the information they've released I'm still interested and open. Especially if it's building up to a bigger villain behind Solas.

First impressions are important but people will change their minds as more information rolls out. I think everyone should remember that and lay off each other and create the speculation they complain we never have. Get out of people's inboxes and talk about the purple wings at the end of the teaser with me.

fohatic

See fohatic’s existing works here.

Preferred contact methods: Tumblr: fohatic Email: moon.language333@gmail.com

Preferred organizations: - Anything from the list of approved organizations

Will create works that contain: Basically whatever you want, as long as it can be achieved through traditional manip editing techniques (without the use of AI-generative technology). This can include domestic scenes, romantic scenes, action/adventure, whump, de-aging, teenage/college-aged characters, silver fox characters, AUs of all kinds, BDSM and other kinky NSFW scenes... You name it!

Will not create works that contain: Scat Extreme gore Genderswap (but feminization/crossdressing is ok) Photo-realistic manips that could result in legal complications (e.g. anything that resembles pornography involving minors) I don't really have any hard no's besides the above, but if it's something really out there let's discuss it first!

  -- Digital Work --

Auction ID: 1150

Will create works for the following relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark - MCU, 1872 Tony Stark-centric - MCU Steve Rogers-centric - MCU Tony Stark/Tony Stark - Any Universe Steve Rogers & Tony Stark - MCU Tony Stark & Avengers Team - MCU Avengers fandom any gen - MCU Bucky Barnes & Steve Rogers & Tony Stark - MCU

Work Description: This auction is for manip fanart of any of the listed characters in any of the listed combinations, though I am open to more possibilities (auctions are limited to listing 10 ships, so I tried to cover as many bases as possible). If you are looking for romantic and/or NSFW work, please note that Steve Rogers/Tony Stark is my preferred ship for these kinds of scenarios, though I am open to the idea of including a third character or involving a villain for sexytimes (please reach out to discuss first). If you are looking for more friendly, domestic, team bonding-type stuff (example: all 6 OG Avengers relaxing together on a private beach), I'm happy to include other characters from the MCU, but may have to limit how many depending on the type of scene. A note about universes: since this work involves photo manipulation, the MCU is my primary source of material (to use the actors' faces/bodies). This doesn't mean that manip scenes have to be limited to that specific universe, though! To some extent, I can place these characters in any universe you like, though certain non-MCU Marvel options are easier to work within than others (e.g. 1872, for a Western spin on the MCU). Please reach out to discuss alternatives with me if you'd like to explore more possibilities. If you would like me to make a manipulated scene from your own fic or someone else's to gift them with, this is very doable! Whatever you have in mind for Tony Stark and/or Steve Rogers, I'm likely up for it, but please note that manip-making has its limitations, so specificity might be difficult to accommodate depending on the availability of source material to draw from. More generalized concepts are easier to work with, though if you discuss any ideas with me I will endeavor to create something as close as possible to your vision. I create manips using traditional photo-editing techniques, without the use of generative AI technology. This involves sourcing base images (often many layered together) to carefully edit characters' faces and bodies/body parts onto, before rendering these into cohesive images. Please see my previous manip work (linked) for examples. Note that for this MTH auction, I will prioritize quality over expediency — I want this manip to look *really good*! (: Depending on the type of scene desired, more than one manipulated image may be produced to convey a sequential concept (see previous work for examples, e.g. the Tony and Steve dream series: here. I'm very much open to NSFW ideas for this auction — if you'd like to discuss kinkier/more pornographic options, please don't hesitate to get as graphic as you want! Dub/non-con, BDSM, etc. is all okay! *Note that tumblr messenger is the best way to reach me to discuss options; I've provided an email address for anybody who is unable to message me on tumblr, but please be aware that I don't check that email address frequently (will try to do so throughout auction week, though). You are welcome to bid without reaching out to me first, but if you win and we haven't discussed possibilities yet, please be aware that some negotiation may be needed post-auction before settling on a workable concept.

Ratings: Gen, Teen, Mature, Explicit

Can pods bid on this auction? Yes - Podbids welcome!

MCU cast X Male Reader

Request - Hi hope your doing good, I wanted to ask for a MCU cast X Male Reader platonic please R and Tom Holland are in an interview and they watch a blooper with them having a staredown but forget their lines so they lean in a kiss (this was before Tom and Zendaya was dating) and R says that's his first kiss with a guy and within the top 10 gayest things his done and a few weeks later the NWH cast react to fanart and some fanfiction of R and Tom's characters dating and during the interview R is like "I kissed Tom before you Zendaya"

You and the cast of No Way home are on The Tonight Show, and you and Tom have to talk about the movie. You took a selfie with Zendaya and Tom, everyone posted it online.

“Y/n, how does it feel to be in Spider-Man: No Way Home movie?” Jimmy asked.

“I feel excited and I can't wait for everyone to see the character I will play” You smiled.

“Is it true, you and Tom met before making the movie?” Jimmy asked.

“Yes, it's true. We both went for an audition for the same role in the movie Spies in Disguise. We are getting along, waiting for us to be called and we tried to copy each other’s accents. And I sent him a message teasing him that I got the role” Tom said.

“He is very rude and mean,” You said.

Everyone starts to laugh and you are smiling.

“They are always like this. Sometimes they can act like kids” Andrew said.

“Then Benedict would act like the dad and tell them to stop,” Zendaya said.

“Ever since that day, he makes fun of me for not getting the role I would try out for,” You said.

“Sometimes, Y/n would try on my spiderman mask and send me selfies,” Tom said.

Jimmy starts to laugh.

“I think we have pictures of that” Jimmy smiled.

You have the mask on and you try to eat a hot dog, in the next picture you pretend to brush your hair, and in the last picture you have the Dr strange cape on and Benedict is behind you glaring at you.

“He likes to get into it stuff after I tell him not to do it,” Benedict said.

“He does have cool stuff,” You said.

“Such a dork” Andrew laughed.

Now Jimmy is showing bloopers of the whole cast. Jimmy and the audience are laughing at the video.

“Apparently, this part everyone is talking about but we will show it,” Jimmy said.

In the video... Tom made you laugh and you forgot your lines and he forgot too. You and Tom have a stare-down, then you and Tom leaned and kissed each other on the lips.

“What just happened at that moment,” Jimny said.

“We had to do a scene. Y/n made me laugh, then for some reason, we just stared at each other, and we kissed” Tom said.

“That was one of the top ten gayest things, I've ever done,” You said.

The whole cast is staring at you right now.

“What other stuff have you done, Y/n?” Tobey asked.

“We all want to know,” Andrew said.

“Time for a commercial break, Jimmy!” You said.

Jimmy starts to laugh so hard, that his face is turning red.

The next day, many fans reacted to the video of you and Tom. You got more followers on Instagram then days later, you and Tom did a Q&A on Instagram.

✬ ✯ ✯ ✫

You and the cast are at comic con. You are on stage with them answering questions from fans. Some of the fans showed you and Tom fan art and fanfic of Peter Parker and your character.

“My character won't be dating anyone in the movie. I will appear in some scenes” You said.

“How does it feel that you kissed Y/n,” A fan asked Tom.

Before Tom answered and you answered.

“I kissed Tom before you Zendaya," You said.

Everyone starts to laugh and Zendaya playfully smacked your arm. Everyone did laugh

“That hurts,” You said and start to rub your arm.

You and Zendaya started to laugh.

“You play too much” Zendaya laughed.

You and the cast continued to answer more questions. Later, you take pictures with fans along with Tom. Many will tell you and Tom, how they like the characters together.

-----

You are with the cast in London for the movie premiere. You pose with the cast and the paparazzi start to take the pictures. Now you start to answer questions

“Y/n, can you tell us anything about your character?” The host asked.

“I can't say anything, I don't want to get in trouble like how Tom spoiled the movie years ago,” You said.

“Wow, Y/n why do you have to bring that up” Tom laughed.

“Tom do you want to work with Y/n again? You two seem close” The host asked.

“Oh, I hope I can work with Y/n in a comedy movie now that will be interesting,” Tom said.

Later, Tom posted a picture of you sleeping in your chair on set. Tom wrote a caption and everyone started to like it...

Tomholland2013 - Y/n drools when he is sleeping 😴

Zendaya told you about it by text and you started to laugh.

Kind of a part 2 of genius/"chronically online" deku 💀💀

Idgaf about the timeline/setting of the show, so in my head, he was a typical weird kid. When he wasn't doing quirk analysis stuff, he was drawing creepypasta fanart. He was watching Markiplier play fnaf and stuff, yk? He was a Tumblr kid.

His queer awakening was probably Eyeless Jack or Ben Drowned 💀💀 And Shinsou was fs also into creepypasta, but he was more into Jeff the Killer and Smile Dog.

I love that so many people have agreed that deku writes/reads fanfic bc that's actually so funny like ik that when the bullying at school got too bad he'd start daydreaming about being taken away to the slender mansion 😭😭😭 tbh that's really sad ik but it's trueee

"Sorry for the late upload for this chapter, guys!! I actually broke both my arms, including my fingers, and fractured my leg :( Im all better now, tho!!" And then later on, "Heyyy, sorry again about late updates, I actually had to infiltrate a Yakuza organization and save a little girl :) lmk what you think of this chapter!!!" And everybody is like HUH

When he first found out that fanfic was a thing, he read a lot of x reader stuff ❤️❤️

Ohhhh, he was probably a gacha kid, too.

He watched a gacha video with "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry and was like, "Girls can like girls???" And found himself down a rabbit hole of queerness 💀💀 he watched the "Little Game" by Benny glmvs, LMAOOO AND "Stand Out Fit In" BY ONE OK ROCK yk the ones where everybody was like, yeah, I'm a girl, and I skateboard. What about it?? 🤨✊️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈" THE PRIDE MONTH SPECIALSSSS LMAOOA

Edit; I'm reading a fic rn in which aizawa and deku watch Iron Man (fairly minor, not a huge plot point or anything, but I can still give link 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️) and I'm realizing that like,, holy shit he would love Marvel. He would resonate with Spiderman SO MUCHHHH and he n Sero can be buddies who talk about the MCU together and he'd start crying bc Peter and Tony are literally him and All Might (If I had a nickel for every time an older rich guy adopted a teenage boy who was (somewhat) poor I'd have two nickels <33)

[sigyn-foxyposts]

Day 2: how do you imagine their first meeting in the myths, marvel /or in the MCU? (fanart, short stories or cosplay ^^)

In almost every universe of mine Loki meets Sigyn when he is at his lowest. He has lost everything. He has given up Sleipnir, his wife Angrboda and the children they had together to a prophecy he doesn't understand. He is angry, confused, grieving all because Odin could do it. And none of the gods bats an eye or cared, taking pity while he sat in misery.

Why would they anyway, to a terrible person and god such as Loki?

He knew they wouldn't change, not for him. He thought he would never make it out but then a certain victory goddess reached out. It didn't start with something too grand, just a simple "Hello" and asking if he was alright, still vigilant knowing very well who he was, but compassionate and kind enough to check in on him.

To Loki it was more life changing than anyone could ever know.

Everything started at his worst and ended at their worst, just because Loki brought so much misfortune.. Truly it was out of his control and it never meant that they didn't love. ✨💚

LOKI – :Winter Lokius: Procreate on iPad Pro

BWAH okay so initially this was supposed to be, like, one of a set of images I planned to do at Christmas for Holiday Husbands and I just got REALLY lazy ugh. ANYWAY, I got REALLY into the Loki series when it aired season 2, mainly because it was SO much better than the first and my fave ship on the show got primary focus, so, like... YES.

Anyway, I wanted to draw Loki and Mobius in winter stuff, and yeah, here we are. I love them, your honour. Best and healthiest MCU ship, honestly. I just REALLY wish they followed through with it. It WAS canonized, but SOS subtly that the mainstream audience didn't catch it. I just hope the MCU doesn't do something stupid and make Mobius some all-powerful thing and just ruin what was best about the ship dynamic... that this all-powerful chaotic GOD fell head-over-heels for just some little guy who tamed him and made him a better person JUST for believing in him. BAH.

MCU is gonna MCU, I'm afraid. They're gonna ruin it somehow. I just REALLY hope they make it more obvious that Lokius is canon. I dunno.

I love these two so much, might have to draw them more often.

Hope y'all like it... It got really cold again so now's a good time as any to post up a cold-weather pic, LOL. <3 I know y'all don't come here for my other obsessions, but I hope you like it anyway <3

”these characters are my OCs now” “just pirate it” I’ve watched this “miku made minecraft” attitude grow over the past decade and become the de-facto way of engaging with media whose creator has been deemed problematic. that and suddenly pretending something you really, genuinely enjoyed actually sucks and is horrible after it’s deemed problematic. at some point you need to evolve from these phases but more than ever it seems like this stagnant stage is how media is consumed. I think it’s healthier for someone to have to seriously reckon with the fact that they can genuinely enjoy something made by an artist who has engaged in whatever degree of problematic actions or opposite/harmful ideologies. because this is going to happen frequently. just because someone makes something you enjoy does not mean they share the exact same morals as you do, this is the same with alternative fashion, music, niche art groups, etc. in the past couple of years I think we have seen younger people really struggling with this and the punk scene (if you can call it that atp). the solution isn’t to make up some rigid rules and say that’s what punk really is and has been since its inception, because this isn’t true. Making up a nice lie doesn’t solve anything. a better and safer thing you can do is recognize that sharing music and fashion taste does not mean sharing ideals and things like this.

imo it’s also going to be better in the long run for people to be able to actually disengage with the things they’re boycotting. At some point you need to grow a spine and not default to pirating in a case like this. you don’t need to make these characters your “OCs”, this is again a failure to reckon with the fact that you genuinely enjoy something by an artist you personally condemn. You need to take the training wheels off and make an actual decision- are you going to engage with this media or stop? this doesn’t have to be a knee jerk public decision, though pressure on social media for this type of reaction is extremely high and is probably partly to blame for this entire situation. but in the long run it’s healthier for your own mind to come to a decision like this on your own terms. to me it seems like a lot of people are now engaging in fandom as a stand-in for politics, activism, and religion, but maybe that’s a different conversation. regardless being able to completely disengage is a genuine skill that should be practiced. look at the Korean women’s total shutdown of all things LimbCo & PM (deleted LC accounts, chargebacks, complete deletion of entire fanart accounts, taking back physical fanmerch they sent to the company, protests, etc) and compare it to the optics of the western Genshin protest where the first thing people notice is that the boycotters literally cannot stop playing the game. You need to be able to disengage with something non-essential. If you are against the actions taken by the companies that create these shows then you don’t need to watch One Piece or Squid Game 2 or whatever the newest MCU/Disney slop is through piracy. Try completely disengaging.

Hiiiii₍⁠₍⁠◞⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠௰⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠◟⁠₎⁠₎

Could you explain the hipster Vs fandom war. I've been on here for like four years and I never knew that existed lol and btw I really really love your art and you are one my biggest inspos for how I imagine and draw my Clark.

i'm not sure i can explain it in a way that makes sense, and certainly not in a way that makes you say "i understand why this was such a big deal", but gl'bgolyb knows i can try.

first, let me take you on a sensory experience... picture in your mind the following things... skinny jeans... nerd glasses... a weirdly dapper fashion sense in a time where everything is baggy and neon... boom, you have 2010-2014 online tumblr hipster culture. and also 70s elvis costello, oddly enough.

although admittedly i don't know his stance on pumpkin spice lattes.

anyway. now that that's burned into your brain, consider a significant population of this exact type of person that has already been well-established on this microblogging platform around the turn of the decade. tumblr doesn't really have an app yet because smartphones haven't taken over everyone's life yet, and online fandom culture is still largely dominated by deviantart as the main "fandom hub". most people, myself included, are getting their main meme fixes from facebook (which your parents were not yet on) or the icanhazcheezburger image-aggregator network. THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE FANDOM NATION ATTACKED.

somehow, a huge crowd of people who considered their favorite books/movies/games to be core personality traits began to set up shop on this fair slate-blue isle. i number myself among this crowd, having been lured here by google-image-searching for miscellaneous fanart in 2011. the "old guard" largely belongs to, and continuously attracts new bloggers within, a burgeoning subculture that 100% defines itself by bucking popular trends and social expectations... whether or not this is actually accomplished by purchasing beverages from starbucks and putting old film filters on every photo, i cannot say.

you may be seeing an issue already arising: hey, if the hipsters hate everything that's popular and gatekeep all their interests, and the fandom bloggers are obsessed with extremely popular franchises and are hell-bent making them even more popular, isn't that going to cause a little friction?

well, yes. it caused a fuck ton of friction. a division arose early on between "the fandom side of tumblr" and "the hipster side of tumblr." some people, like myself, played both sides. others abstained from the rigid dichotomy and considered themselves to be on another "side," like the science side of tumblr, known for explaining relatively straightforward STEM concepts in large essays that began with something like "listen up fuckers."

ahhh, unfriendable. such a narrow little window in time where cheezburger sites and facebook had equal sway in the online zeitgeist.

interestingly, as someone who trawled a LOT of aesthetic tags, the most popular of which was simply #aesthetic (it was shockingly consistent in there), i never actually saw hipster bloggers complaining about fandom bloggers. it was always the other way around, with fandom bloggers bragging about how much they're freaking out the squares to get cool points with other fandom bloggers, all while never actually engaging with the hipster bloggers because their tags rarely overlapped.

hi, marge! we're freaking out the hipsters!

regardless of whether there was any material reality to it, or if it was simply a Minitrue level of entirely fictional warfare, this concept entrenched itself into the fandom bloggers, likely as a way to still feel "edgy" and unique while, again, obsessing over extremely popular and mainstream things like doctor who, pokemon, avatar the last airbender, the brand-new mcu, and other decidedly non-counterculture media. even with things it felt like no one irl had heard of, like hetalia and homestuck, those were online juggernauts nonetheless, the former of which had dominated deviantart for years and the latter of which prompted hotels and convention centers across the world to implement very strict rules about unsealed body paint. people treated fandoms like they were some sort of exclusive country club with membership fees and a dress code. and dunking on hipsters became an entire genre of Fake Internet Story, which were already pervasive on this website.

what's the point of being in a clique if there's no outgroup to flex on? #swag

this whole phenomenon ran concurrently, even symbiotically, with other tumblrisms like "tumblr university" and those horrendous "not like other girls" memes...

which means, of course, it was absolutely dead in the fucking water once DashCon happened in 2014. i don't need to tell you what happened at DashCon (there's a million essays and videos about it if you're one of today's lucky ten thousand who's never heard of it), but all across the fandom side of tumblr, it felt like finding out your parents lied about santa claus. turns out the fandoms you're in don't actually say anything about who you are as a person, a bunch of tumblrinas can't just will a fully functional micronation into existence just by wearing tacky merchandise in a public venue, and magic probably isn't real.

i wish i had some grand way to end this story, but really the moral is the same as it ever was: online drama is eternal, inescapable, and completely fucking worthless. if you only post to get mad at shit, especially if you're just making up a guy to get mad at, cut that out. touch grass. look at images of cats. i don't remember any of the enemies i made from this era, but i fondly remember all the friends, and i'm richer for making those positive connections. that's all for today's episode of Tumblr History with Toothpaste Face... remember to tip your waitress and stay minty.

Blessing in Disguise by MsWinghead (E for fic/Gen for art, 616, 23,512 words) ★ Team Masterpost

First Stark Industries Masquerade Gala. For Steve Rogers, however, wearing a mask for a gala wasn't that different from wearing a mask to fight crime every day. But Tony saw him as someone new that he hadn't yet met. Steve then proposes a role-playing game: pretend they have never met before and meet tonight. What could go wrong? Nothing, except that Tony had been completely in love with Steve for years. But that was a great opportunity to know if they could be something more than friends, right? Spoiler: They can and also have lots of fun in the process.

it might just have been you by Areiton (Mature for fic/T for art, MCU, 25,505 words) ★ Team Masterpost

"You have the whole world in front of you, Tony," Steve says, slowly. "When you get off this boat, there's nothing to stop you from living the life you want. If that's as a mechanic with a nice Alpha--you can have that. Just because what you grew up with is trash, doesn't mean that all alphas are. You can still have exactly what you want." Tony laughs, and it feels brittle, sharp, cutting at his throat as it spills between them. "There aren't nice Alphas, Captain. No one is nice enough to walk away from a billion dollar fortune for someone like me." "I would," Steve says, and it feels like a confession, like something he doesn't mean to share, and all the more precious for it.

Love Me (With No Explanation) by tinystark616 (E for fic/Gen for art, MCU, 42,225 words) ★ Team Masterpost

While spending the week in LA on business, Tony impulsively hires a male escort to keep him company after his girlfriend breaks up with him. Or, Steve and Tony spend a whole week trying not to fall in love with each other.

Love Story by iam93percentstardust (T for story/Gen for art, MCU, 22,579 words) ★ Team Masterpost

Tony dreams about a man named Steve Rogers and their lives together in a million different lifetimes. Little does he know that Steve is dreaming about him too and looking for him so they can spend the rest of this life together too.

Men of Inaction by Neverever (M for fic/Gen for art, 616/Marvel Adventures, 20,017 words) ★ Team Masterpost

After being pushed through a portal in an AIM firefight, Steve and Tony find themselves trapped in a luxury resort. They suspect malevolent forces have captured them. But in the meantime, they have to solve puzzles on an island. And Tony keeps making spa appointments. Steve doesn't know what to do with himself and 'relax' is a foreign word to him. Then Tony starts to spend all his time with Steve. Can Steve figure why they are there, how to solve the puzzles, and what to do with his long-time crush on Tony?

Logyn Appreciation Week 2024

Day 2: how do you imagine their first meeting in the myths, marvel /or in the MCU? (fanart, short stories or cosplay ^^)

Ignore the date, this is coming out on the right day ;)

Honestly there are so many different ways I can see these two meeting. And it only changes depending on what version we're talking about.

In general with the MCU versions I always like to think they meet when they're kids and develop a relationship over the years. Starting from a friendship to something more.

For their myth counterparts I like the idea of Sigyn helping Loki after his mouth is sewn shut. This Sigyn has always been interested in Loki but to nervous to actually interact with him. Until she finds him alone and hurt. For Loki he's never much paid attention to Sigyn but he changes his mind after she becomes the only person to help him during one of his lowest points. After that the rest is history.

But as I said, these are only a few of my ideas. There is just so many different first meetings they could have and its fun imagining them.
