#char: Darcy Lewis

[doesnotloveyou]

re-analyzing mcu female characters now that i'm no longer a fan

look. they gave male writers a bucket of manly action figures and a baggie of female characters as accessories. fem chars were written like a list of tropes except with all the "icky sexism" ones crossed out. they were rarely written as, y'know, people (willing to argue that many of the male characters were barely allowed to be anything more than plastic action figures either)

Somehow though, despite being used as a fangirl stand-in (which are often derogatory caricatures imo) Darcy Lewis is an excellently written female character.

She is always herself. She doesn't care what professional men, hot men, authoritative men, extraordinary men, or even what any woman thinks of her. Not in a Hollywood "watch me not care and be so feisty and empowered while I do it" way, but in a chill "that's cool but imma be my own person" way

She is kind but doesn't put up with mistreatment

She is smart but doesn't need men to brag about her intelligence

She is savvy but doesn't need men to point it out

She is beautiful but neither a man nor the camera ever needs to realize it, and she dresses to be comfortable while also perfectly confident that she's gorgeous

She is fearful but she deals with it without needing a man to comfort her

She is firm in her opinions and her decisions without needing a man (or anyone) to approve of them

Best of all she cracks jokes for her own amusement and knows she's funny even if no one laughs

the writers (accidentally???) created a perfect every-woman by deciding to create a woman without making her Love Interest Material. they made her the Attractive Girl's Friend trope, yeah, but at least the friend gets to be herself instead of constantly wondering if the space viking will come back and sweep her off her feet

they made a strong female character in 2010, and when they brought her back in Wandavision she didn't even need a hot girl bestie as an excuse to be on the screen. their continuity reflected that she was now the most experienced person in her field. even the audience trusted her to be reliable in unreliable circumstances the same way a hero is meant to be reliable

every time Marvel tries to make a "strong female character" they do something hyper-stereotypical that bends in the other direction. "We can't be sexist, see? we converted his secretary into his assistant and then we made her the CEO of his company" or "we showed her punching out a misogynist in her first scene" or "canonically she's a maneater but we're afraid of how that will look so we'll make her have no romances instead while also being The Only Girl trope." and on and on and on

meanwhile, Darcy was great, and I give a lot of credit to Kat Dennings, but I would also like to know if there was a female, or even male, writer in the room who kept her all to themself and said "I'll write this character, I know them perfectly."

there must have been because she felt knowable. she also felt like a fun example of what being a normal human might be like in a universe where caped heroes fly around saving the world from aliens

Partner in Handcuffs

Prompt: “Please go away.”

“Given That we’re handcuffed together, that’s pretty much impossible right now.”

“Please go away,” muttered a very annoyed Johnny Storm to his fellow prisoner, one Darcy Lewis.

“Much as I’d like to, sulky face, given that we’re handcuffed together, that’s pretty much impossible right now, so I’ll continue my coping mechanisms until we’re in our future dark cell or are miraculously rescued, hopefully by a hunky hero.”

Darcy sighed and went off on another tangent about her Avenging friends and her love of Thor and Captain America while Johnny groaned and rolled his eyes. He was tired of the endless praise for his doppelgänger, mostly because of how frequently he was negatively compared to him.

After she finished her enthusiastic tale, he sighed and attempted to change the subject for the twentieth time.

“So, why were they hunting you?” he asked. “You secretly a superhero?”

“Not exactly, but I have a certain…… gift that makes me qualify to be considered enhanced. Though, technically it’s more of a mutant thing,” Darcy explained carefully, wiggling her fingers to try to keep feeling in them.

“I’m intrigued,” Johnny commented. “Just what kind of “gift” is it? Laser eyes? Telepathy?”

“I can heal with my touch,” Darcy said quietly.

Johnny whistled in appreciation. “Wow. That’s an incredible gift!” He responded. “Bet that came in handy.”

“It did, but it also made me a target for being taken advantage of. I learned pretty quickly who really cared about me and who just wanted a quick fix for their sprained ankle,” Darcy told him, a touch of sadness in her tone.

“When I read those Accords, I knew it was bullshit to control us and abuse us in the name of oversight,” she went on. “And I’m guessing you came to the same conclusion.”

“Sure did,” Johnny confirmed. “That’s our one common ground.”

He sighed dolefully as the van rumbled on. Yeah, he thought Darcy was plenty cute and all, but she wasn’t the type to ever be interested in him, he thought. Maybe as a substitute for Steve.

“You think you could melt the handcuffs off, Hot Stuff?” Darcy asked.

“Flattered as I am at the compliment, It would leave your hands pretty charred and I’m not gonna risk that. You need them for your science, after all,” he told her.

“I guess,” she sighed. “Natasha showed me how to dislocate my thumb to get out of cuffs, but they’re too tight for even that. We’re pretty much screwed.”

The van stopped and Darcy and Johnny tensed, waiting with baited breath, eyes widening as they heard scuffling sounds that turned into grunting and shouts and a weird clanging.

“Division among the henchmen?” Darcy whispered.

“Could be. Maybe they’re taking each other out with steel beams,” Johnny suggested. “That’s loud.”

Darcy giggled at the thought, imagining their captors brawling WWE style and braining each other with heavy crowbars or something.

After a few minutes of silence, the van doors were jerked open and a hooded figure holding a long metal pipe looked in on them.

“Are you okay?” said a gruff voice. Johnny didn’t recognize it, but Darcy’s eyes lit up.

“Yeah, except for numb fingers,” she told their visitor. “Are you our rescue?”

“Yeah,” Hooded guy said. “Dr. Foster and Dr. Richards passed the word along that you two had gone missing and We tracked you down.”

“Who’s we?” Johnny questioned suspiciously. “How do I know that you’re not just another one of Ross’s goons?”

Darcy shot Johnny a look of disapproval that he couldn’t see.

“Don’t you know who this is? The epitome of truth, justice, and freedom? He hates people like Ross.”

Their rescuer chuckled and bent down to pick the handcuffs. As soon as they were free, they took a good look and Johnny felt like he was looking in a mirror—a scruffy, dusty, bearded, insanely ripped mirror. It was obviously Steve Rogers.

“Oh. You.” He said slightly ungraciously. Darcy elbowed him.

“Ow!” he complained.

“I apologize for my ungrateful companion,” she told Steve. “He seems to resent you.”

“Join the club,” Steve said, looking very unsurprised.

“What club?”Johnny shot back, rubbing the feeling back into his hands. “Everyone worships you and makes sure I know what a big disappointment I am that I’m not you.”

“Not the time, buddy,” Darcy whispered. “We’re trying to get rescued, not hash out our insecurities.”

Steve looked at him steadily.

“I’m sorry to hear that, but if they can’t appreciate your value as your own person, that’s their problem. We’re all in the same boat right now and I could really use your mechanical skills to get the get-away vehicle running again.”

Johnny felt a tad bit ashamed of his outburst, but it felt good to know he could be of some use for once. A bit of tinkering and the three of them were on the road, headed for Steve’s current hideout.

“Feeling better?” Darcy asked him.

“Yeah,” Johnny admitted. “I guess I have more issues than I thought.” He put his head in his hands. “I’m just tired of people wanting me to be something I’m not.”

“I get that,” Darcy sighed. “Everyone expected me to be a doctor or a modern day Jesus, going around healing everything. It doesn’t work like that and My friends respect that. I don’t think you let many people see the real Johnny Storm and that’s too bad because I think underneath all the playboy tendencies and the Human Torch, you’ve got a big heart that loves to help people.”

“I’m not even sure who the real Johnny Storm is anymore,” he admitted.

“Welp, you’ll have plenty of time to figure that out,” Steve commented from the driver’s seat. “Living off the grid has brought me my own clarity. I hope it will for you, too.”

“Thanks,” Johnny said, kicking himself for how he’d acted. Steve hadn’t asked to be compared to anyone. “Nice work with the pipe, by the way.”

He nearly choked when Steve replied straight-faced “That’s what she said.”

Darcy burst into laughter and Johnny shook his head in stunned amusement.

“I take my cap off to you, Cap,” he told him. “I walked right into that one. Good to know your mind isn’t as squeaky clean as the press claims.”

“It’s like they forget I was in the army,” Steve said in fond exasperation.

I think the time has come for you to retire home to nudge them along.” King Steven sighed. He would miss her excellent company, but he could not be selfish in this. Prospect Park at Brooklyne was, in every way, her home. James and Clint missed her company, as well, he knew. “I am no longer under contract to Lord Barton,” Lady Romanoff reminded her king. “And, of course, we understand why,” King Steven assured his very good friend. “That does not mean you could not sign a new contract, perhaps with James,” the king pointed out slyly. “You are meddling,” Lady Romanoff accused.

I’m Only Human

Chapter 1

Pairing- Loki x Mutant Reader, Thor x Mutant Reader(Best friends) 

Warning- cursing

H/c- hair color

Puente Antiguo,New Mexico

The Suv sits parked in the desert. Suddenly, the roof panel of the Suv FoldOpen. The underside of the panels house a variety of hand-built Astronomical Devices, which now point at the sky. Jane Foster pops her head through the roof. She positions a Magnetometer, so its monitor calibrates with the constellations above. It appears to be cobbled together from spare parts of other devices.  “Hurry!” Jane Insisted. Hearing a loud Bang followed by muffled cursing from below. Jane offers a hand down to Erik Selvig who emerges as well, rubbing his head.”Oh-- watch your head.”

“Thanks. So what's this "anomaly" of yours supposed to look like?” Erik wondered.

“Hopefully you only get a headache from how hard you hit your head” Y/n Munroe giggled as she opens the back door of the suv and jump out.

“ Explain to me why you’re here again” Erik murmured.

“ If I remember correctly you found me and asked if I could be your assistant.” Y/n proclaimed flipping her white and h/c out her face.

“It’s a little different each time. Once it looked like, I don't know,melted stars, pooling in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rolling rainbow ribbon--"Racing "˜round Orion?" I've always said you should have been a poet.” Erik joked.

Jane reigns in her excitement. She tries for dignity. “Hey, Darcy. Pass up the bubbly and my gloves, will you?.” Jane asked. The Intern Darcy Lewis hands Jane a bottle of Champagne and a pair of gloves through the window. Jane passes it to Selvig to hold while she pulls on the old gloves -- too large and masculine for her small hands. He starts to unwrap the foil, and she stops his hand with an excited grin.”Not until you see it!”

“I recognize those. Think how proud he'd be to see you now.”Erik shared.

Jane's grin fades to a sad smile.”Thank you.”

“For what?”

“The benefit of the doubt.”The three stare out at the sky expectantly. A long beat while they scan the skies. Nothing. Jane's worried. “It's never taken this long before.”

Darcy calls up from the front seat. “Can I turn on the radio?”

“Sure, if you like rocking out to KFRM,All agriculture, all the time. Worried, Jane heads back down into the vehicle.

Y/n walks up to Suv window “Don’t worry everything will work out”Y/n told Jane with a small smile.

The SUV is bathed in the glow of high-tech monitorin equipment and laptops, some looking like they're held together with duct tape. Jane opens a well-worn notebook of handwritten notes and calculations. Selvig watches the frustrated Jane with sympathy.

“The anomalies are always precipitated by geomagnetic storms.”Jane began. She shows Erik and Y/n a complicated chart she's drawn in the book, tracking occurrences and patterns.”The last seventeen occurrences have been predictable to the minute... I just don't understand.”she pondered.

Something catches Darcy's eye out the driver's side mirror. She adjusts it. In the distance, Odd Glowing cloud form in the skies over the Northeastern end of the desert. “Jane?” Darcy calls small panicky voiceJane shushes her, leafs through her notes. The bottle of champagne begins to vibrate.

“There's got to be some new variable... Or an equipment malfunction.” Jane wonders.The lights and equipment in the Suv begin to Flickr around them. The computer monitors squelch with static.

“I don't think there's anything wrong with your equipment...” Darcy stated.

The champagne bottle starts to Rattles noisily now as it shakes more violently. Jane,Y/n and Selvig notice.They watch it curiously, pressure building up inside it, when the cork explodes out of it. Champagne goes spewing everywhere -- over equipment, over Jane. “Jane?”

“What?!”Jane snapped.

“I think you want to see this.”Darcy points out the window. Jane,Y/n and Selvig look out. Over the desert Massive rainbow cloud Churn in the sky. The three stare, dumbfounded.

“Holy Shit” Y/n  swore.

“Holy. Shatner.” Jane blurted.

“That's your "subtle" aurora?!” Erik teased.

“No-- yes! Let's go!” Jane noted.

“See patience is a virtue” Y/n called out as she is standing in the middle of it all.

The roof panels still open, the Suv races towards the strange event, Jane, amazed by the sight, stands with half her body out the roof, taking video of the light storm before them.

The SUV hits a bump. Jane nearly flies out but Selvig grabs her, yanks her back in.

“Y/n gets to be out there and I can’t” Jane grins, thrilled, pumped with adrenaline

“ Well Y/n is not like us” Erik replied.

.”Isn’t this great?!”Jane started with excitement in her voice. A thought strikes her.”You’re seeing it too, right? I'm not crazy?

“That's debateable. Put your seat belt on!” Erik encouraged Jane. Winds howls around the SUV now. Up ahead, spiraling down from out of the clouds comes -- an Enormous tornadoSuffuse with the strange rainbow light, roaring like a thousand freight trains as it touches down.

“Are you doing this!” Erik yelled at Y/n .

“Erik I can change the weather not make a Rainbow tornados.” Y/n yells at  in a dry tone.

Selvig looks up through the still-open sunroof at the enormous glowing funnel cloud with wonder. Jane clambers into the front seat, beside Darcy. She leans way out the window, Taping the storm.

“You've gotta get us closer so I can take a magnetic reading.” Jane Announced.

Darcy laughs.”Yeah, right! Good one.”Pauses.“Oh God, you're serious...”

“You want those college credits or not?” Jena noted.

Erik yells out to Y/n” we’re going to get closer!”

” OK I’ll catch up!” Y/n yells back at Erik as she stands in the middle of the desert watching this mystical tornado.

The SUV tears across a field towards the tornado, Jane leaning out the window, taping the event. The Suv disturbs two ravens perched on a cactus as they race past. The birds take flight, when -- KRAKABOOM! A huge  bolt of lightningstrikes down through the center of the funnel cloud before them with a terrifying intensity. The Suv rocks from the blast. Darcy's had enough. She turns the wheel, starts to head away”Keep the credits. I'll intern at Burger King.”Darcy voiced.

“What are you doing?!” Jane yelped.

“Saving our lives!”

Jane grabs the wheel, jerks it hard the other way. They struggle for control, when the headlights fall on a man.Directly in their path, stumbling through the winds. Darcy slams on the brakes, Jane turns the wheel hard to avoid him.The SUV swerves but too late. The side of the SUV slams into the man with a Thud, sending him flying. The car skids to a stop.

Y/n flies over to see what all the commotion is about. “What’s going on” Y/n wondered but  sees a man unconscious on the groundA paralyzed moment, then they all leap out of the car. Jane, Darcy, and Selvig trade shocked looks, breathing hard.They peer through the dust clouds, unable to see through The four of them  race from the SUV with flashlights. Jane spots the man lying on the ground. He's dressed in tattered clothing,charred and blackened.

“I think that was legally your fault.”Darcy claimed to Y/n in a very convincing voice.

“Get the first aid kit.” Jane urged anyone who was listening.

Darcy heads back inside the SUV as Jane, concerned, kneels next to the man. Selvig and Y/n hovers, protectively. She gently turns his head to the light, and we see him clearly for the first time. He is magnificently handsome,long blonde hair flowing around his classically sculpted Features. She cups her hands around his face, as if willing the life back into him.

“Come on, big guy. Do me a favor and don't be dead, okay? Open your eyes and look at me.”Jane wheedled.

Suddenly, he groans, and she's startled, then relieved, as his eyes flutter open. She looks deep into his confused, azure eyes, which at last focus on her own. Locking onto them.For a moment, they each forget to breathe. The connection is broken as Darcy returns with the kit. She freezes when she sees how gorgeous the man is.

“Wow. Does he need CPR? Because I know CPR.” Darcy Chimed in.

A flustered Jane smooths her hair and sits back on her heels. She looks up at Selvig. Back to being a scientist.

“His eyes-“Jane started.

 “Are beautiful-.” Darcy in a voice soft with affection.

“ -Are dilating. That's a good praised sign. Jane said with a note of relief.

“We still have to get him to a hospital.”  Erik disclosed.

“After we get a reading on the storm?”Jane answered.

“Immediately Jane” Erik insisted.

“Guys this is my forte I’ll stop the storm then we can take this guy hospital” Y/n put forth as she  holds out her hands eyes turning white. Jane,Darcy and Erik watching the storm evaporate above their heads.

“Where did he come from? “They exchange puzzled looks, as we move up through the last glowing remnants of the storm. Earth spins slowly before us as we hear a voice, deep and resonant -- the voice of Heimdall Gatekeeper of Asgard. “Questions, they've always asked questions -- this race called man, on this planet they call earth.Passionately longing to know how they are connected to the heavens. We pull away from the planet, widening, past other worlds, cosmic debris -- leaving first our solar system, then out . In ages past, they looked to us as gods, for indeed so many times we saved them from calamity. We tried to show them how their world was but one of the Nine realms  and in the Nine realms is a planet called a Asgard.” Beautiful beyond imagination. We fly over the magnificent

landscape of the Realm, through the gleaming capital city, modern yet timeless. The palace rises countless stories tall, gleaming with an other-worldly majesty, towering high above the Realm sprawled out before it. We move towards a large window of the palace, where a Figure stands. Odin Stares out at his kingdom. The ravens fly up to the balcony,land at his side.

Odin turns away from the window. His wife Frigga sits at a vanity and tries different earrings before the mirror.

“Do you think he's ready?” Odin wonder.

“He thinks he is. He has his father's confidence.”Frigga replies.

“He'll need his father's wisdom.” Odin told Frigga.”And his humility?” She remarked

 Odin makes a face at this wife. “Thor won't be alone. Loki will be at his side to give him counsel.Have faith in your sons.” Frigga pointed out.

“Yes, but Thor's still a boy. He could be a great King...” Odin stops, notices his hand shaking. It seems to be out of synch temporally with the rest of the world, leaving a trail as it moves. He stares at it determinedly, concentrating,trying to stop the strange event through the force of his sheer will.Finally, the occurrence subsides, his hand normal once more. A worried Frigga covers his hand with her own.

“...if we only had more time.” He whispered.

“ For once, our son needs something we cannot provide.”She voiced.              

“I can fight it a little longer...” he murmured

“No. You've put it off too long! I worry for you.” She said with a fond look.

Odin touches her cheek.”I've destroyed demons and monsters,devastated whole worlds, laid waste to mighty kingdoms, and still you worry for me?”Odin said in a voice soft with affection.

“Always.”

“Not today. Now come kiss your king... while I'm still king.” He pulls her close, and they kiss.

Directly under the throne room, a gloomily lit hall. Banners hang on either side to form a corridor down the middle of the fire lit room. Giant doors open at one end. A huge figure silhouetted against the bright light beyond walks forward. In slo-mo, we recognize the unmistakable shape of the God of Thunder. Hammer in hand, he reaches the end of a raised platform. An  attendant hands the figure a goblet of wine. He downs it quickly, hurls it towards the fire directly below.

“Another!” The cup smashes, the alcohol causes the fire to glow intensely -- and, for a moment, brightly lit, and seen full length, like a King to be, is The mighty Thor. He proceeds down stops, past camera, and down the center of the Hall.

We follow from behind and see at the other end, massively shadowed on one of the great banners, the shape of two great horns. As Thor approaches, the horn shapes move, and then, from the shadows at the side, emerges Loki, wearing his horned headpiece. Like Thor, he is dressed for a great ceremony. They stand by a brazier at the foot of steps that lead up to the crowded throne room.

“Nervous, brother?” Loki asked Thor.

“Have you ever known me to be nervous?” Thor grinned.

“There was the time in Nornheim...”Loki Trailed off.

“That wasn't nerves, brother. I was the rage of battle. How else could I have fought my way through a hundred warriors and pulled us out alive?” Thor replied  to Loki as The Attendant approaches with another goblet of wine for Thor.

“As I recall, I was the one who veiled us in smoke to ease our escape.”Loki put forth.

“Some do battle, others just do tricks.

The Attendant stifles a laugh. Loki notices, doesn't like it. He gestures towards the goblet in the Attendant's hand. Eeels pour over the sides of the goblet, slithering out and across the terrified Attendant's hand. He scream, hurls the goblet to the ground. Loki chuckles.

“Loki...” Thor warned Loki. Loki gestures to the writhing eels on the ground. They turn back to spilled wine, the illusion shattered. “Now that was just a waste of good wine.”

“Just a bit of fun.” Loki said to the Attendant.” Right, my friend?”The Attendant isn't so sure. Thor dons his Eagle winged helmet.

“Nice feathers.” Loki told  Thor about his helmet.

“You don't really want to start this again, do you, Cow?” Thor teased Loki.

“I was being sincere!” Loki Announced.

“You're incapable of sincerity.” Thor proclaimed to Loki.

“Am I?” Loki replied. He looks his brother in the eye, all pretense lost.”I've looked forward to this day as long as you have. You're my brother and my friend. Sometimes I'm envious, but never doubt that I love you.”

Thor searches his brother's face, sees no trace of irony. He's either speaking from his heart or he's a very, very good liar. Maybe both. Thor puts an appreciative hand on his brother's shoulder.

“Thank you.” The two brothers take in the moment a beat, then.

“Give us a kiss.” Loki teased Thor.

“Stop.” Thor makes the final adjustments to his ceremonial wear. “How do I look?” Thor questioned Loki.

“Like a king.” Loki shared as They hear the blast of a ceremonial Horn.”It's time.”

“You go ahead.” Loki casts him a wary look.”I'll be along. Go on.” Thor disclosed in a casual tone. Loki heads inside the palace without his brother.

Volstagg combs his great beard in preparation for the big event. As he does, he's surprised to find a stray grape stuck in the beard. He pulls it out, looks around, then eagerly pops it into his mouth and gobbles it down. Fandral checks his reflection in a mirror, smooths out his moustache, gives himself a dashing smile. A Pretty Maiden holds the mirror before him, as other Maidens  look on dreamily.

“Thank you, love.” Fandral said in a flirtatious way the Maidens. ”Now who'd like to polish my sword for me?” Fandral Announced and the giddy Maidens eagerly raise their hands.

Hogun stands staring ahead grimly, his hands folded in front of him, amidst the hustle and bustle of the attendants and the ceremony preparations going on around him. A Helpful attendants approaches him and starts to polish his armor. Hogun turns his head, gives him a look. Intimidated, the Attendant quickly backs away. From behind, we see a Woman In ceremonial Armor take off her Sword and set it on a table, then her Shield, then several Hidden Daggers  and small, yet intimidating Weapons . We reveal that it's Sif, looking radiant. She eyes the weapons on the table.

“I'll miss you.” Sif whimpered to her weapons.

Colorful ceremonial Banners of the Nine Realms adorn the room, crowded with Aesir and representatives from across Yggdrasil, all Buzzing with excitement. Thor's  Comrades enter and stride to their place of honor at the front of the hall. They are... The Warriors Three.

Volstagg has the girth and strength of a Sumo wrestler, with oversized passions to match. Fandral, the consummate swashbuckler, is agile, charismatic, and nattily dressed. Hogun-- dark, sullen, brooding -- a large mace slung at his side. With them walks the warrior maiden Sif. She's clad in armor,a shield and sword at her side -- a beauty not to be trifled with.

“I hope this goes quickly. I'm famished.” Volstagg grinned.

“Noooo!” Fandral squeaked.

Are you attached to that pretty face of yours? Because one more word, and you won't be. Volstagg commented.

“My, we are hungry, aren't we?” everyone laughs except Hogun. 

Fandral turns to him.”Go on, Hogun. Smile. You can do it. Even you, Hogun the Grim. Just one smile.” Fandral urged Hogun who just stares at him grimly. “All right, half a smile. Look,forget the smile, just show some teeth.” Fandral made public.

“Fandral, is it true the famous Warriors Three are ready to meet any challenge?” Sif asked.

“Name it, Lady Sif.”Fandral insisted.

“Keep your mouth shut.” Sif teased.

Imposing Einherjar Guards clad in armor, swords at the ready,stand watch inside the massive underground structure beneath the palace. A cold Breeze blows past them. Thor stands, his fingers nervously drumming the handle of his hammer. Frigga approaches behind him, sees his anxiety.

“It's all right to be nervous.” Frigga chimed in.

Why does everyone keep saying that? I'm not nervous!” Thor proclaimed in a Casual tone.

“You may be able to fool the rest of Asgard-

“...But never you. I know.”

“Thor, just remember that you have something even the great Allfather never had.”

“And what is that?”

“Me for a mother.” She smiles.”Now don't keep your father waiting.” Frigga  told Thor then leaves.

Sif and the Warriors Three still wait before the crowd. Loki and Frigga enter.

“ There’s something I have to tell you after the ceremony it is very important” Frigga shared with Loki.

“I will mother” Loki agreed as he takes his place at the front of the Phall alongside the others. With another blast of the horn,the crowd goes silent as the Einherjar honor Guards moves into formation. They part to reveal Odin sitting atop his throne, clad in full ceremonial armor. He holds his spear Gungnir before him. Any trace of weakness in him is gone now. He exudes all the power and majesty of a Ruler of Asgard. Frigga joins him at his side. He looks around the hall, casts a glance over to the Warriors. Thor is nowhere to be seen. Odin looks to Loki. Loki shrugs. Odin isn't pleased.A murmur spreads through the crowd.

“Where is he?.” Volstagg asked Loki.

“He said he'd be along.” Loki replied. Sif realizes the truth, shakes her head in disapproval.

“What?” Volstagg questioned Sif.

“He wants to make an entrance.” Sif told Volstagg. 

“Well, if he doesn't show up soon,he shouldn't bother. Odin looks like he's ready to feed him to his ravens.” Fandral commented.

“I wouldn't worry. Father will forgive him. He always does.” Loki replied.

Just then, at the back of the hall, up the steps from the lower level Mjolnir Roars up into the hall, Thor strides cockily into the hall behind it, catching it behind his back. The Crowd erupts in Cheers. Thor spins his hammer with a flourish, holds it up before the crowd, basking in the moment, relishing the adoration, whipping his audience up into a frenzy.

“Oh, please.” Sif murmured.

Odin watches from the front, not liking this showy display. As the sound of the cheers echo from above, the odd, cold breeze picks up in the Vault. The Guards rub their limbs to warm themselves. They grow increasingly uneasy, sensing something's not right. They exchange a look, then walk the length of the Vault's hallway to its end, where a Casket sits undisturbed upon a pedestal. Large shadows suddenly loom over them. They look up and Shout in terror as they raise their weapons.Thor finishes stirring up the crowd, then reaches the front of the room, kneels on one knee before his mother and father. Frigga casts him an admonishing glance. Thor winks up at her. She can't help but smile. Odin strikes Gungnir upon the ground with a deafening Boom.

The crowd falls silent. Odin speaks with quiet, effortless authority. He raises Gungnir before him.

“Gungnir. Its aim is true, its power strong. With it I have defended Asgard and the lives of the innocent across the Nine Realms since the time of the Great Beginning. And though the day has come for a new King to wield his own weapon - that duty remains the same. Thor Odinson, my heir, my first-born.”Pauses.” So long entrusted with this mighty hammer, Mjolnir. Forged in the heart of a dying star, from the sacred metal of Uru. Only one may lift it. Only one is worthy. Who wields this hammer commands the lightning and the storm. Its power has no equal -- as a weapon, to destroy, or as a tool, to build. It is a fit companion for a King.” Odin proclaimed.

The bodies of the Guards are flung to the Vault's floor, now strewn with ice. We don't see their attackers clearly, just catch glimpses of them in the shadows -- but they are large and blue-skinned. One of the creatures lifts the Casket off its stand and turns to go. But, as they do, the intricate latticework behind the Casket starts to separate and retract, revealing something standing in the shadows behind it. As the creatures walk away, a fiery glow rises behind them. They turn back around. Now it's their turn to Scream.

The Ceremony continues.

“Today I entrust you with thegreatest honor in all the Nine Realms. The sacred throne of Asgard. I have sacrificed much to achieve peace. So, too, must a new generation sacrifice to maintain that peace. Responsibility, duty, honor. These are not merely virtues to which we must aspire. They are essential to every soldier and to every King.” Odin declared.

The Crowd and the Warriors Three start to shiver and rub their limbs for warmth in the increasingly cold air of the hall. Thor turns back to face his father. Odin looks upon his son with pride.

“Thor Odinson, do you swear to guard the Nine Realms?”Odin questioned Thor

“I swear.” Thor replied.

“Do you swear to preserve the peace?”

“I swear.”

“Do you swear to cast aside all selfish ambition and pledge yourself only to the good of all the Realms?”

“I swear!” Thor yells in excitement.

“Then on this day, I, Odin Allfather, proclaim you--“Odin hesitates, noticing a strange sight before him. Ice creeps across the surface of the large banners around the hall, making an eerie CRACKING sound. Thor, his comrades, and the crowd see it too.

“Frost giants...” Odin commented.

A/n- Reader was born 1986 of your birth day and month.

I don’t own nothing all rights go to Marvel for this story.

[catcorsair]

I was wondering what your favourite fictional pairings/ships are? I love your blog and think we have similar tastes 💕 (I'm always on the lookout for new books/films to consume haha)

Hi! I'm really only active in the PotO fandom, so my only real "ship" is my standby E/C (although I'll read Erik with literally anyone) but these are some other relationships I appreciate in other media:

Dean Winchester and everyone he loves ;,,)

Ten (The Doctor)/Rose (and Eleven/Amy Pond, Eleven/River Song)

Spike/Buffy

Lestat/the world (but especially Louis)

Snape/Lily (and Dumbledore/Grindelwald, and Voldemort/literally anyone)

Heathcliff/Cathy

Lizzie Bennett/Mr. Darcy

Morozko/Vasya

.... and, shamefully, the main couple on just about every buddy cop show, especially the supernatural ones. Call me basic but I LIVE for buddy cops

There are a million more but my brain isn't cooperating right now. I read more than I watch TV/Movies, so here are some random book recs! (Besides those for the ships listed above.)

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke

Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh (and everything else he writes)

The Library at Mount Char, by Scott Hawkins

Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

The Bone Clocks, by David Mitchell (or anything he has ever touched or even glanced sidelong at, because the man is a god)

Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy

Paradise Lost, by John Milton

Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman

The Signature of All Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert

The Priest, by Thomas M. Disch (tread carefully)

The Miniaturist, by Jessie Burton

The Nature of Monsters, by Clare Clark

Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert

The Monk: A Romance, by Matthew Gregory Lewis

Tess of D'Urbervilles, by Thomas Hardy

The Sorrows of Young Werther, by Goethe

Justine, by Marquis de Sade (tread carefully)

(I read cozy YA fiction series sometimes to unwind, and recently I've really enjoyed the Grishaverse, the Winternight Trilogy, the Folk of the Air Trilogy, and the Shades of Magic series, which all feature very ship-worthy couples!)

I could probably continue listing forever, especially getting into the classics, so I'll restrain myself... I would have tailored this list better if I knew who you were, (I tried to keep it very broad) but hopefully you see this, Anon!

ship-a-ton.

Tagged by: @themysteriouslou

Tagging: ALL Y’ALL.

1. First ship you ever wrote fic for: I’m... 80% sure it was Captain Englehorn/OC from the 2005 King Kong. 

2. Ship you write the most now: John Seed x Nic Raylan

3. Ship you read the most now: John Seed x Deputy

4. Newest ship: John Donovan x Lincoln Clay from Mafia 3. All AJ and Char’s fault. 

5. Rare ship you wanna read more of:  Ben Wade/Dan Evans from 3:10 to Yuma, Hobbes x Erica x Jack from V (2009). 

6. Your taboo ship:  None that I know of. Or ship anymore/am willing to publically admit I shipped back in the day. 

7. They never met in canon ship: Loki x Darcy Lewis

8. Your unexpected ship: None really. I’ve got a shipping Type so I’ll take one look at a ship and go “oh no” nowadays. 

9. The ship you always forget to give love to: Rush x Captain Syd

10. Ship your OC with a canon character (if applicable): 80% of my ships nowadays are that- even if the OC is technically a PC. 

11. Ship you’re embarrassed to ship: No shame here

12. Your most romantic ship: Nico DaSilva x William Carter, but more in the Watch Canon With Shipping Goggles sense. That “Nico only woke up because he heard your voice” shit was hard to deny.

13. Your sexiest ship: ... They’re not exactly sexy but John x Nic mostly just because it’s the only ship I’ve written what’s arguably considered smut for like... four times, and mention they’re at it like rabbits a lot. 

14. Your most tragic ship:  Ben Wade x Dan Evans again. I’m sure there are more out there. Grant x John’s hella tragic because they’ve got to get passed mutual trauma a lot. 

15. A ship you want more content for: Basically every ship on this list, especially Hobbes x Erica x Jack. Then there’s Ben  Finn x Princess or Prince from Fable 3, and Troy Bradshaw x Boss from Saints Row

Ayy, milestone prompt here :) Darcy/Loki, and fire? xxxxx love youuuuuuu

FLOWERS. I love you. Gosh. 

Unrelated but I just saw: THIS IS MY 1,000TH POST (yes my blog is a baby)

Pairing: Loki/Darcy Lewis

Rating: G

Loki’s jaw clenched as the Muspelheim guards led him closer to Darcy’s cell. Her cage. He could see her through the wavering flames, balled up on the rock floor with her face hidden beneath the hood of her sweater.

“This was unnecessary,” Loki bit out.

The guard to his right, a towering and smoldering creature with eyes like black stars, shrugged. It spoke with a sparking, spitting tongue.

“This is a luxury by our prison standards, princeling.”

Loki turned back to the image of Darcy flickering through fire and clenched his fists beneath his sleeves. He had been a king. Now princeling. And he wasn’t for a moment convinced that Surtr, King of the realm and supposed ally—after the demand for negotiations with Thor that had gotten Darcy kidnapped in the first place—hadn’t been perfectly aware that it was a Bad Idea to put a Midgardian in a cage of fire. Realm standards or not.

“The gesture is noted,” Loki managed to say, and let his tone speak to the nature of the ‘note’. “May I retrieve our ambassador now?”

“At your convenience,” the guard hissed, stepping back.

The flames remained intact. Ah. Very well then. He strode through, fighting the urge to flinch and losing it as he crossed the threshold. It was a damn oven inside, worse than the Muspelheim deserts. Darcy was limp as he lifted her from the floor, his fingers tracing at her wrists and temple. Her pulse was fluttering but her skin was raw and dry, lips chewed and chapped.

He had a choice. He could toss her over his shoulder like he would any other one of Thor’s mortal friends. Or…He cradled her against his chest, pressing her forehead to his neck and cooling his skin to provide some relief. When he turned, the flames parted in a doorway.

_

“I didn’t think you’d come.”

They’d been traveling for hours. He had been traveling. Darcy had been…sleeping, for the most part. Waking when he stopped just over the threshold into Niflheim, a gasp on her lips as the suddenly icy air rushed over her face. He had wrapped her in his cloak and fed her ice chips for the better part of an hour, her eyes rolling unseeing over his face.

“You’re awake,” he said and buried the feeling of relief under his steps. “Did you expect Thor to abandon his friend?”

“I didn’t think you would come,” she whispered, shifting in his arms to try and sit up a little, trying to take in the icy mountain scape around them.

He almost hadn’t. Well, that wasn’t true. It was never a question of him coming, not as far as he was concerned. His mind was made up the moment he’d heard. But he hadn’t even been on the first short list they’d come up with. If Thor honestly thought Sif and Korg would have been a more diplomatic envoy than him… He was offended.

“It was an accident,” he said instead, not answering her question. If it was a question at all. “You were meant to be Jane Foster.”

“Duh,” she said. “Who do you think told them I was Jane?”

“You what?” He glared down at her and found her skin too pale around her lips and eyes, too flushed over her cheeks. She would go into shock if he wasn’t careful. He needed to get her back to her planet. Their planet, he remembered with a grimace. “You didn’t even know what they wanted with her.”

“No, but I knew Jane would be the one to figure out how to get me back,” Darcy said. She shivered and pressed her forehead against his jaw line.

It had been Jane who contacted them. Well, Bruce. He’d called it ‘playing telephone,’ Jane getting in touch with him to get in touch with Thor when her science couldn’t trace where they had taken Darcy.

“How go the peace talks?” Darcy asked.

“Muspelheim maintains their tentative truce with Asgard’s people,” Loki said, with a shrug that was more of an excuse to hold her closer.

“Nooo, the Thor and Jane peace talks,” Darcy said.

He huffed. “Not high in my current interests.”

“It’d be nice to see more of you,” she said and her lips bumped over his pulse. “If they were friends again.”

He was silent, biting hard on his tongue as they reached a wood of frozen trees that stretched so high into the sky the legends claimed they were grew down from the ice laden clouds, not up from the ground. It would be nice to see more of her. To excavate the feelings she had brushed at in the course of one evening when they’d first arrived in Norway.

“Loki,” she whispered. “I’m getting…cold? But I feel dizzy.”

“We are almost to Midgard,” he said.

_

He wasn’t exactly following directions by taking Darcy to his home instead of wherever Thor and Jane were undoubtedly circling each other like wary cats. But he wanted her well not harassed, so delay was a necessary evil. And Darcy said nothing against it.

“Drink more,” he said, handing her another bottle of water (lifted magically from the fridge of Tony Stark’s personal lab in New York, just for fun.)

“Are you trying to drown me?” she asked, but she drank.

She was sitting with her legs folded on top of his bed. He had taken the charred sweater from her when her hands shook too badly to unzip it herself, and had opened the windows to let cool fresh spring air into the room. The worst of the shivers he had removed with a little bit of magic to loosen her muscles.

He reached out and set his palm against the side of her neck to gauge her temperature and she leaned into the touch.

“You run cool,” she murmured.

“I can,” he said, trying not to feel so dazzled by the bat of her lashes over her cheek or the way she always seemed to be leaning closer.

She met his eyes and gave him a small smile, gaze gentle. She knew, then. That was just as well.

He stood and moved to sit behind her on the bed. “Lean back.”

She hesitated and then shifted back, scooting closer and relaxing against his chest.

“Close your eyes,” he said.

“Loki.” She started to turn her head to look at him and he stopped her, stroking at her cheek with the backs of his fingers.

“Please,” he said.

Darcy sighed and he could see her lashes flutter in irritation as he stared down her nose, waiting. But they fell shut and stayed that way. He unravelled the Asgardian illusion. Thor had asked once, if it was relief to let it drop sometimes and he had simply said ‘No.’ The truth was it felt like peeling away a layer of his own skin, leaving him more than naked. An open wound.

“Oh,” she murmured, shoulders easing as he shifted to his Jotunn form. “That’s really nice.”

He felt a twitch of a smile on his face and then her fingertips were grazing over the bare skin of his arms where his shirtsleeves were rolled up. Her touch felt like fire, still feverish from the heat stroke. He stiffened in place, uncertain if he wanted to pull away or press closer. Her fingers tangled with his, palms against the sigils over the backs of his hands and knuckles, and she wrapped his arms across her waist.

“Do you mind?” she asked.

He realized he was still rigid and he forced himself to relax, arms squeezing carefully around her.

“I don’t mind,” he said.

The genius had his STARKpad in the other hand and was reading the newspapers, discarding his coffee- His godforsaken coffee!- to pet the former assassin.

He never had to worry about fuel anymore, for one thing. He’d always been forgetting to eat or drink enough, not to mention all the time he had to take out for bodily functions. As an AI, there was so much more time for his work, which was a huge plus, especially where Riri was concerned.

There was a delicate pause. “Well, my research shows that humans sleep better after an orgasm.” Tony grinned. “Why, JARVIS, you sly dog, are you telling me to have sex with someone in order to sleep?” “Another person is not necessary for the release of pleasurable endorphins.” “You want me to literally go fuck myself?” JARVIS said primly, “It is just a suggestion, Sir, for your own good.” Tony chuckled. “Alright, I might as well give it a try.” Exactly what it says on the tin - a short fic about Tony giving himself some love all in pursuit of sleep. The vibe is steamy, but low key - if that’s a thing.

#1 for TaserTorch! (I'm supremely excited about this)

Pairing:  Darcy Lewis/Johnny StormPrompt:  #1. “You must be a bad cook when I can smell it through the wall..”

Darcy meandered out into her kitchen and nearly choked on the acrid stench that lingered in the air.  It smelled like someone had burnt toast badly enough to leave a carbon footprint.  Which could only mean one thing.  Johnny Storm was attempting to cook again.  

Dude was the worst cook on the planet.  Had to be, if she could smell it through the walls.  

Chuckling to herself, she tucked her phone into her back pocket in case she needed to consult Pinterest for a recipe or something, and set off to check up on her neighbor.  

She rang his doorbell and waited.  

When he answered it, he was wearing an apron with char marks on it, and carrying the fire extinguisher.  Never a good sign.  

"Heya, Johnny…" Darcy drawled.  "Do you need some help?"  

He sighed and nodded.  "Yes.  I admit defeat.  The chicken cordon bleu beat me."

"Chicken cordon bleu?  Oo la la…" Darcy waggled her eyebrows and took the extinguisher from him.  "Did you put it out?"  

"Yeah.  It's out.  It's ruined.  But it's out."  

"So what's with the 'suddenly gourmet', Johnny?  I thought you were a hot pockets kind of fella…"  She poked at the charred remains of the chicken, wondering how on earth someone could let it get this burnt without smelling it first.  

"I am, usually.  But I kinda…" He trailed off and grinned.  "There's this girl."  

"Ah.  Say no more. You wanna impress a lovely lady.  Noble cause, my friend."   She leaned down to inspect the dish.  "Is this my casserole dish you've ruined?"  

"Yeah...I'll buy you a new one… where's it from?"  

"One of the stores in Chelsea Market...I forget which…" She waved her hand vaguely.

"On my next day off," he promised.  

"No big rush, I didn't even know you had it..."  She reached over to turn off the oven.  "First things first though?  You're gonna want to air this place out.  The smell of charred chicken isn't exactly charming."  

"Gotcha…"  He jogged over to start opening windows and Darcy turned on the exhaust fan over the oven.  Not that it was going to do much good, but at least it could get the air moving.  

"Next, let's go see what I have at my place.  I'll show you how to cook it, so you won't be lying to your chick, but I'll help watch it so you don't burn down the place again."  

"You're a lifesaver!"  he called from the other room.  

An hour and a half later, Johnny was well on his way to a finished, unburnt Shepherd's Pie, a salad of mixed greens and baby kale,  and a little pan of fluffy dinner rolls.  

"I think she'll like it.  Comfort food is always a win," Darcy assured him, before helping him bring all the food over to his place.  

It didn't smell terrible in there, but she was pretty sure it still smelled like chicken cordon burnt, but there wasn't much they could do about that.  Hopefully his date had a good sense of humor.

She probably did.  Johnny was pretty cool, but he never dated girls long enough to make them dinner.  She must be pretty special to warrant this treatment.  

When he rang the doorbell at her place about ten minutes later, she panicked, thinking he'd left something over here.  But she didn't see anything on her initial glimpse around the kitchen.

"No, no, I didn't leave anything," he assured her.  "I was just...kinda…" he jammed his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels. "Hoping to pick you up for our date?"  He winked and her jaw dropped.  

The lovely lady was her.  He was trying to impress her.    

"You were trying to make me chicken cordon bleu…" she squeaked.  

He smirked and blushed a little. "I wanted to cook for you.  I knew you'd probably like that better than if I took you out… sorry you had to pretty much make the food yourself... "  

"I'm not," she confessed, grinning widely.  "At least now I know I can eat it."  

He snorted and held out his hand.  "Are you coming, you jack-ass?"

She took it, but tugged him a little closer instead of going with him."Maybe we should eat over here.  I know I said it was barely noticeable, but your place is a little...singed for my tastes."  

He rolled his eyes.  "Picky, picky…"  

"Damn straight," she teased.

to help with your muse! ❤️❤️❤️ “So, you..?” “Yeah.” “Are you mad?” “Oh, definitely… Do you still love me?” “Yes!” “That’s… That’s good.”

Okay so, rarepair for you, just because I haven’t dabbled in it for so long!

It was an accepted truth of Avengers Tower that Darcy Lewis had been crushing on Maria Hill since day one. Like, hard. 

And she hadn’t been subtle about it either. Starting from the morning coffee to baking treats without being prompted, she’d become so blatant in her flirting even Tony had noticed (and despite not giving her too much trouble with it, he kept insisting it was ‘cute’ and tried shamelessly to make kissy noises every. damn. time.). 

And it wouldn’t have been so embarrassing if Maria had been a tiny bit interested. But the woman had never even given her an inkling of being anything but politely cordial. Which was... fine? Not really, but Darcy wasn’t one that couldn’t respect this kind of boundary. No meant no. 

So she tried to be cool about it (she failed, she probably looked like a kicked puppy the first few days) and moved on. 

Agent Marks had been nice, and it would have even been a great date, weren’t for the fact that five minutes in it was clear she was absolutely not over Maria, and would probably be back to pining the following day. At least Marks had been very understanding about the whole affair and even agreed to split the bill without too much fuss.

She dragged herself to the Common Area, not really caring about being quiet; it was so early it was stupid to hope it would be empty anyway and she was determined to get some work done for breakfast before going to sleep.

“Where have you been?”

The common room was indeed not empty.

“Hi, Maria!” She really tried to be cheery, but Maria Hill frowned and that made her hesitate a bit. “Is something wrong?”

“You weren’t in the Tower for dinner,” Maria stated in her cool tone.

“Yeah... I was out?” Where was this even going? 

“Out?” Maria sounded incredulous. “As in, a date?”

A spark of anger ignited in her chest. “Yes? Why? I’m perfectly capable of getting a date!”

Maria sputtered a bit, “of course, it’s just... with whom?!” 

And yep, the spark became a tiny bit bigger “With Agent Marks, if you really must know. It was a great date, even.” She drew herself up.

She watched as the ex-Shield Deputy Director narrowed her eyes, “Marks? That Agent Marks?”

Okay, that wasn’t cool. The assessing gaze of ‘she’s going to Siberia’ wasn’t great either. “How is this any of your business anyway? I’m not your property, and you made it abundantly clear that you’re interested. So-”

“Who said I wasn’t interested?!” Maria interrupted her.

And wait- What? “Wait, what?!” 

“I said, who said I wasn’t interested? Maybe, but just maybe eh, someone was waiting for some special occasion to make her move and instead had gone a different way from coffee!” 

“What special occasion?” Okayy, what had she missed in the last few days? Jane had been great, with regular sleep, Tony and Bruce hadn’t blown up anything, no supervillain had razed the city... she was coming up empty with this, really.

Maria gaped at her for a few seconds, but then the oven ‘dinged’ hard and black smoke came out of the kitchen. She cursed and retreated towards the oven, getting out a charred black piece of blackness that would probably kill whoever tasted it. 

“Okay, what am I missing here?” 

Maria sighed, put the charred monstrosity on the counter and looked at her, “Happy birthday, or maybe not.”

Oh. Oh. “So, you...?”

“Yeah.”

Well, that did explain some of the most recent comments she’d gotten from Tony... “Are you mad?”

“Oh definitely... Do I need to fight for you with Agent Marks or you still like me?”

Darcy smiled a bit “Agent Marks was very understanding when I told her I think we passed the ‘liked’ a few months ago.”

Maria blinked. “Oh-kay... Do you still love me?”

“Yes!”

“That’s... that’s good..!” She smiled back and leaned closer.

It was when JARVIS pointedly asked them what to do with the cake, that they broke apart. 

“...I’m not eating that thing...” 

“Yeah, I think I’ll let you do the baking from now on...”

All the women in MCU movies still alive who can be in Infinity War if Marvel so chose

Betty Ross, Wanda Maximoff, Pepper Potts, Maria Hill, Christine Everheart, Natasha Romanoff, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, Sharon Carter, Hope van Dyne, Gamora, Nebula, Mantis, Nova Prime, Maggie Lang, Cassie Lang, Sif, Hela (?), Valkyrie, Christine Palmer, Nakia, Okoye, Shuri, Ramonda, Ayo, Laura Barton, Tina Minoru, Bambi Argobast, May Parker, Councilwoman Hawley, Chess Roberts

The list is in no particular order. All of the characters had to have first and last names or a reason for their first name to not be used (like Hawley), be addressed by her position (Nova Prime) or not have a last name (Gamora, Nebula, Mantis, Sif, Valkyrie).

I included Hela on the off-chance she might survive Ragnarok.

That gives us 31 female characters who COULD be in the cast. Eight have been confirmed.

Meanwhile, the male characters include, but are not limited to: Groot, Thanos, Thor, Peter Quill, Dr Strange, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Nick Fury, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Peter Parker, Bucky Barnes, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Scott Lang, the Collector, Vision, Yondu, T’Challa, Wong, Kraglin, Cul Obsidian.

That’s 22 confirmed, just on one page. I didn’t have to go digging through individual cast lists. If I had? I would have found:

N’Jobu, M’Baku, Ulysses Klaue, Zuri, W’Kabe, Everett Ross, Eric Killmonger, Mordo, Dr Nicodemus West, Stakar Ogord, Ego, Hank Pym, Sam Wilson, Luis, Kurt, Dave, Gale, Paxton, Loki, Heimdall, Odin, Grandmaster, Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral, Erik Selvig, Lt Col James Rhodes, Zemo, Happy Hogan

That’s 29, and I wasn’t even trying that hard. I never hit “full cast list,” those are just people listed above the cut, so to speak.

We know that not all of the female characters will show up. But the best we can hope for is 31 female characters to at least 51 male characters. Right now, the confirmed cast is roughly 3 male chars for every 1 female char, and that’s ridiculous.
