[meteorstardust]

I am begging for dad starlord x readers oh my god

[little-miss-dilf-lover]

Hello lovely! Idk if you do platonic relationships or not but if you do can I request being starlords younger sister would include headcanons

hii lovie!! yes ofc! as the eldest sister and sibling, ive always wanted an older brother like quill😔!!! thanks for requesting, hope you like it💌

BEING QUILL’S YOUNGER SISTER HC’s

peter quill x sister reader

word count. 442

— I think quill would be the best big brother ever ! ! he has all the traits like that of a stereotypical older brother: great taste in music, cool graphic tees that you wanna 'borrow', the humour and jokes, the protective bodyguardness

— it doesn't matter what kind of sister you are - full-blood sister (with meredith as mum and ego as dad) or as another kid that yondu took (quill would still treat you as his flesh and blood sister) he'd do a great job of being big bro !!

— how much younger you are than peter depends how he'd treat you. if you're a lot younger, he'd kind of have a fatherly aspect to him, but not so much that it oversteps or creates a weird divide in your relationship. but if you're slightly closer in age, he'd def have that annoying older brother vibe. hitting you, bumping into you, calling you names, bickering with you, messing up your hair 

— BUT !! only he can be like that with you. no one else is allowed to !! only he can 'bully' you

— but that doesn't mean he's an ass to you all the time !! he can be very sweet in ways that are often surprising. but if you thank him for it or bring it up, he gets all bashful and tells you to shut up

— he's still very young at heart, so I like to think you both match each other in that arena. both have playful aspects, but you can both turn it off if need be

— he gets real protective

— he hates to admit it, but he values your input on other women. likes to know what you think of them and all that stuff. your fave gf of his was DEF gamora !! (obviously)

— king of "I told you so"

— would drive (I say that loosely) miles to pick you up in the middle of the night but won't answer your texts in the middle of the day

— likes to bring up your embarrassing stories or moments

— you'd probs be friends as well as siblings. you both like to hangout together- watch crap on tv, eat shitty food, piss yourselves laughing at jokes

— he def has these older brother lore moments, and they're often told late at night, probs by the fridge when you accidentally bump into each other when getting a drink or snack

— he backs your corner if you vent about school/work/friends, nods along, saying the occasional "what a bitch," or "yeah, you're right," but he does tell you when you're wrong, "yea, but you were doing ..."

— doesn’t tell if you have a secret party

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Day 20~ 1:34 P.M.

Warnings: None, Readers under 18 can read this book.

Copyright: My OCs are Coach Yonce, Emma, Ila, Tempus, and Itty Bitty. I own these characters. I do not condone any copying of this.

For the most part, I had recovered from everything. The doctors had to re-break my knee though to set it properly. I was glad I was out for that. They cleaned all of my wounds and re-dressed them. They said we could look into getting a prosthetic for my pinky finger. I said I'd think about it.

It felt selfish to get a pinky finger prosthetic though when there were men and women coming in from war with blown off limbs and having to deal with that. If anyone need a prosthetic, it was them. I'd deal with a missing finger.

My parents managed to come and see me earlier today around nine in the morning. They didn't wake me up, so I didn't really see them until more around ten. Both my mother and my father were crying, though my brothers were slightly in the corner playing video games on their phones. They got off once they realized I was awake.

"Hey sweetheart." My mom said, tears streaming down her face. My mother was a very ugly crier, but right now she was the most beautiful sight in the world.

"Hi mom." I said, tears streaming down my own face. My mother and father peppered me with kisses, before they laid the presents they'd brought me down on the bedside table.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 in DVD form since I'd missed the movie version. My brothers had bought extra Funko Pops so I didn't just have Dr. Strange and Iron man now. There was also Loki, Thor, Gamora, Starlord, Bucky Barnes, Captain America, and Hawkeye.

My stomach flipped unpleasantly upon seeing them. They had been there.

I said nothing though, except thanking them with what I hoped was the proper enthusiasm. I'd probably sell them on Amazon later. I could probably make a lot of money off of them. Maybe I could make even more if I signed the boxes. I had to be somewhat famous, right?

I questioned after Itty, Jaguar, and Otter's health. They were all fine, with their families back in California. My mother told me that different Marvel actors had been hosting them. Apparently my own family was staying with Chris Evans. Itty Bitty's family was staying with Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma was waiting for her parents to fly in from England with Chris Hemsworth, and Otter and her family were with Tom Hiddleston.

I did ask if they had seen Sebastian Stan. They didn't know anything that had passed between the two of us except that he had been there.

"He's been really torn up over you for some reason." My brother said in a bored voice. "I mean, he doesn't say anything, but whenever mom and dad left the room or whatever he was always asking Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr. if you'd been found."

"Yeah, mom think she fancies you." My other brother joked.

I coloured a little, wondering at that statement.

"Mr. Downey has been amazing." My mother gushed. "He's been providing for all of the lawyers and everything. Well, helping get lawyers I should say. That Real Estate agent? Donald Trump? He had some good lawyers to help us out with suing the Russo brothers and the others that were involved."

"So. . . none of the Marvel actors knew what was going on?" I asked slowly, not entirely sure what I wanted the outcome to be.

"No." My mother said with a shake of the head. "In fact, one of the actors, the one that played Doctor List, he was killed to prevent him from spreading to the word. Apparently Mr. Stan told him what was happening and tried to get word out."

So Sebastian really had tried to get the word out? And the first doctor had been an actor?

"Miss Y/L/N, there are some people here to see you." A nurse said, coming into the room a few hours later.

"We'll leave you with them then." My mother said, kissing my forehead out and ushering my brothers out of the room.

Figuring it would be Itty or Otter or Emma or all of them, I attempted to prop myself up against the headboard.

"I don't think you should be sitting up yet." A familiar voice said and I froze.

"Sebastian." I whispered.

"Hey." He said softly, taking a seat next to the bed.

He was dressed nicely, his long pulled back into the man bun I loved. He seemed almost nervous and I guess I couldn't blame him. The last time I'd seen him, I'd killed someone and pointed a gun at his face.

"Er- I'm not alone." He muttered, gesturing behind him.

I looked up to see Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Chris Evans there.

"Oh, er, hi." I said awkwardly, blushing. I had the hugest crush on Dr. Strange so this was kind've weird.

"Nice to finally meet you." Robert Downey Jr. said, holding his hand out as though I was the famous person. "Glad you're here as well. Stan over here has been a mess without you."

"Shut it Robert." Sebastian growled.

I smiled a little as I shook Downey's hand.

"Marvel fan?" Chris asked with a bit of a smile, gesturing to all the Funko Pops.

My face burned again, "Of sorts. I haven't seen any of the Captain America movies though. Er- I like Dr. Strange and Tony Stark."

Benedict smiled, shaking my hand as well. Tom grinned, laughing a little. Downey didn't seemed phased. "Of course I was your favorite."

"Well actually, Strange, then you, then Loki." I smiled. "But you know. But um, why are you all here?"

"Someone had to take care of Sebastian." Downey said, causing Sebastian's ears to go red. "And we're also the ones most invested in the case."

I nodded my head but couldn't really think of anything else to say. Luckily, Downey clapped his hands together once and said, "Well, we'll take these Funko pops out to sign them and leave you and Sebastian alone."

"Er- do you want them signed?" Chris asked, but as Robert was already carrying them out of the room, I cracked a smile. Robert was so cool.

"I, um, I'm sorry for pointing a gun at your face. I was terrified, I thought you were in on everything, that you had just been playing me." I murmured, looking away from him.

"I don't blame you." Sebastian was quiet. "It had to be confusing for you. I can't even imagine with everything you'd gone through what you were thinking."

There was a moment of silence before he said. "It was real for me too."

I lifted my eyes to his for a moment and he seemed serious enough. "All of it Y/N. The bad and the good. It was all real to me."

I hesitated, saying nothing. I wasn't entirely sure what he was trying to say.

Sebastian gently reached out and took both my hands into his. "It was real to me. I love you Y/N. Maybe on this facet you weren't entirely certain, but this is how I feel. Maybe you still don't want to see me ever again. Maybe you'd prefer to go without the spotlight being with me would put you in. But I want to be with you."

I could barely breathe. It was like something straight out of a book. Sebastian Stan, famous actor, wanted to be with silly old me?

"A-are you sure?" I asked breathlessly.

"Yes. I mean, I know I'm going to have to go through some therapy and shit before I'm fit to take perfect care of you. But I want to work through things with you, if you want to." He asked breathlessly.

I laughed a little, "Yeah, they're sending us to some sort of therapy treatment center. Me, Itty, Otter, and Emma. Apparently we have to live there and finish some sort of program and then we're free to leave if we pass at the end. But once I get out, if you still want to come and find me, I would like to be with you too."

Sebastian grinned and before I knew it, we'd both leaned into each other, our lips connected in a passionate kiss.

"I'll always find you Y/N. And if I can't, I'll never stop searching for you. That's a promise." Sebastian whispered against my cheek.

"Thank you for taking care of me in there Sebastian." I whispered, holding tightly on his hand. "I wouldn't have survived without you."

Sebastian squeezed my hand and stayed with me until I fell asleep once more.

[whatdoyoumeanitsnotcanon]

It's only natural that our horse whisperer starlord cinnamon roll has some headcanon all his own so here goes (note: this is pre-rot!Radahn):

Radahn has always been bigger than what was expected for his age. As a child, his parents assumed he'd be a bit taller than Rennala. Emphasis on a bit. When he got taller than that, it became something of an inside joke between him and Radagon. Radahn would playfully pat his head in greeting and Radagon would sigh in exasperation before both would knowingly chuckle.

He was fascinated with Rennala's hair when he was younger. It reminded him of the night. He hated when she would put her crown on and cover it.

Radahn was absolutely overjoyed when he became a big brother. He would tote boss baby Rykard everywhere, show him off, and just be his protective little self. Rennala thought it was so cute and Radagon would smile and shake his head.

Leonard was his birthday present. Best. birthday. ever.

Radahn's favorite subject to study as a youth was history.

His pet name for Ranni was "Pip" because she had such a high-pitched cry as a baby. In return, Ranni would call him "Dahny" (Donny). Please don't call him Dahny. They both called Rykard "Ry". But Kardi V will remain supreme.

He taught Ranni and Rykard how to ride horses.

Ranni and he may have been partners-in-crime, but Radahn always made Rykard go out and socialize with him.

This leads me to my next bullet: this is how he found out that Rykard could drink him under the table. The first time, he thought it was a fluke. The next time he challenged his brother to a drinking contest and, uh... the hangover was real the next day. Rykard was just fine, though. What the hell?

Drunk Radahn is very affectionate and emotional. He and Jerren had the most heartfelt conversation about how much they meant to each other. Then hugged and fell asleep in each other's arms. Yep.

Drunk Radahn also has a tendency to disappear into thin air. You turn your back to him for ONE second and he's gone with the wind. How the hell does he do that? You will most likely find him asleep in some of the most random-ass places. Or cuddling Leonard.

He and Tanith bonded over embarrassing stories about Rykard.

Both of his siblings were test subjects for his gravity magic. For example, if Ranni talked shit, he'd suspend her things in midair out of her reach (like the stars lmaoooo). Rykard could be doing work in his study and the next thing he knows, he and the desk are in midair. Dammit, Radahn!

Radahn collects weapons as a hobby; as a result, he has an impressive personal armory.

He employs dad humor. Especially with his men. They groan in response.

He has an infectious laugh. It's deep and boisterous.

Whereas Radagon hates his red hair, Radahn absolutely loves his, okay? His hair care routine is impressive.

He was incredibly devastated when Radagon left and though he hides it behind his grin, it's left him jaded and closed off when it comes to romantic relationships.

Radahn actually would love to have a family of his own but he's fearful his consort would leave him just like his father left Rennala. He's extra paternal to his men as a result.

He wants a big family, too. Wooo, boy.

Mulled ale is a travesty, Godfrey.

Radahn respects Marika as queen and his father's wife and... that's all she ever will be to him.

Radahn's biggest regret is not seeing Rennala as often as he'd like to. And not putting his whole foot up Radagon's ass.

Radahn sleeps in the nude. Likes to let his skin breathe. He also loves pillows. He has a lot of fucking pillows. And a horse ragdoll. It's cute. If he isn't sleeping on his stomach with a pillow over his head, he's asleep and hugging one.

The bedhead is STRONG with this one.

For Radarnished/Reader, he's a bit of a black hole in bed. Something will always be sucked into the vicinity of his being. His significant other could be peacefully asleep on the 15% of the bed that's available and the next morning, they're waking up in a mass of arms and legs.

Kiss him while he's asleep and he'll smile.

[dyns33]

Thor argues with Loki, because he wants his brother to recognize that Odin wasn't such a bad father. 

Thor : "He made mistakes, but he was our father, he loved us and he deserves love and respect !"

Wizard Y/N : "Uh, sorry, but... You should have this conversatinon somewhere else. Even though I think you shouldn't have it at all... since you're wrong."

Thor : "What ? Why ?"

Wizard Y/N : "Well, sorry again, but Odin was not a good father and Loki has the right to dislike him. If you tell him otherwise in front of the others, they will not be on your side, believe me."

Thor : "I don't see why."

Wizard Y/N : "Let see. Stark hates his father. Natasha too. Same for Bruce and Steve. Clint, I don't know. Peter's died when he was young so that doesn't count. My Master refuses to hear about the word "family"... Maybe Starlord's was not too bad... Wait, no, it was his adoptive dad."

Thor : "What about his real father ?"

Wizard Y/N : "He was a planet who wanted to eat him."

Thor : "... Well our father never tried to eat Loki, so he could at least be grateful for that !"

Loki, from another room : “I would have preferred that he did !”

[wack-ashimself]

Hey, do you want to utterly waste 40 minutes of your life?

Watch the guardians of the galaxy 'holiday' (CHRISTMAS. IT'S ACTUALLY ALL CHRISTMAS) special.

It's boring, has like 3-4 laughs, and should be called 'Drax and Mantis get shit faced and kidnap Kevin Bacon' cuz that is MOST of this special.

Also it has 2 of the weirdest christmas songs. The opening one (which is weird good. It was actually one of the funnest original christmas songs I've heard in YEARS. Highly specific to the movie, but it works) and the one where clearly kevin bacon wanted to sing about being born, life getting muddled, and guess what? It's already christmas time. Seriously, listen to the lyrics. It's like a coke head's christmas song; all over the fucking place.

Best part of the whole special? Fucking finding out kevin bacon has been married to kyra since 88' in real life (I looked it up curious). GOOD FOR THEM.

But all and all, it's boring. And if you are looking for storyline development: mantis is starlord's sister. But only cuz ego (starlord's dad from movie #2) kidnapped her as a kid....which we all fucking knew. So....just cementing that detail, I guess.

2/10. Not even worth the few laughs.

ps-my fav part? That opening christmas song. Seriously, watch just for that, then quit watching. It's truly one of a kind. You'll never hear anything like it.

pps-my 2nd fav part? Watching chris pratt CLEARLY phone it in. He didn't he fucking care. So you shouldn't either.

Avengers au? 👀

Avengers AU

Okay, so this one is complicated 😂. Me and my friend @bexlynne never fully figured out which characters should go where and debated for a long time about who should be Cap. It was between Davey and Spot. I think we decided Davey.

So here’s a little snippet of the list right now with the characters we know for sure (also note that I have a lot of different Avengers AU ideas and all of the characters are switched around plenty).

Characters

Jack Kelly- Iron Man

David Jacobs- Capitan America

Racetrack Higgins- Black Widow

Hot Shot- Hawkeye

Spot Conlon- The Hulk

Katherine Plumber- Pepper Potts

Les Jacobs- Bucky

Crutchie Morris- Rhodey

Smalls- Spiderman

Romeo- Ned

Morris- Thor

Oscar- Loki

Snyder- Thanos

Mike- Quicksilver

Ike- Scarlett Witch

Medda- Nick Fury

Albert- Starlord

Elmer- Groot

Riddle- Doctor Strange

Specs- Vision

This is what I have 😂. I know there’s a lot left out. I’m gonna give you the basics of the original gang-

Jack Kelly

Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

He is a cocky, sarcastic, brilliant man who was orphaned at fifteen while studying at MIT and left a fortune by his father

He’s a womanizer when he younger.

He takes over his father’s company, continuing to design weapons and armors and make more money.

One day, while travelling to advertise his creations, he gets caught in a booby trap and is captured by enemy forces. He is severely injured and wakes up to find himself strapped to a car battery. The other man who had been taken hostage, a physicist, explains that the battery is the only thing keeping the shrapnel in his chest from reaching his heart.

Jack manages to escape, only because the physicist gives up his own life to protect him.

Jack is only twenty one when this happens.

Jack blames himself for the other man’s death.

All in all, Jack slowly becomes mentally unstable and more and more depressed after this incident.

Jack’s assistant, Katherine Plumber, a woman he’s always been infatuated with but never acted on, does her best to take care of him and help him with whatever he needs.

Jack does his best to push her away.

It doesn’t work.

Jack is in pain a lot as he makes himself a battery to keep the shrapnel away from his heart, knowing he can’t remove it without getting himself killed

He creates the iron man suit when someone threatens him and his company and him personally and tries to tell the media that Iron Man is his personal body guard, only for him to have a meeting with the press and come clean, blatantly stating, “I am Iron Man” to the public.

Jack never had a great relationship with his father, James Kelly (who he is in fact named after) and finds that his father was obsessed with this hero who died years ago called Capitan America

Jack spends his whole life trying to live up to this legend of a man as a child and it eventually becomes the real strain on Jack’s relationship with his dad.

When Jack first finds out his parents are dead, he tried like hell to find their murderer who shot them in their own car after running them off the road.

Eventually he gives up, believe it to be a random murder

When A Miss Medda Larkin approaches him about something called the “Avenger’s initiative” he turns it down immediately.

Once he gets dragged into it, as he likes to think (forces his way back in, is how it actually works) and he meets the rest of the team, he ends up forming a sort of makeshift family with them and does his best to make sure he is the one in the most danger at all times, wanting to spare the rest of their lives

He loves his team, even if he won’t say it.

David Jacobs

Was born prematurely and grew up small. He was malnourished and scrawny and short than everyone around him.

His little brother Les grew to be taller than him and stronger than him and David feels inferior to him, even though he loves his little brother like nothing else

David’s dream has always been to fight for his country.

Les gets to. David, no matter how many fake names he uses and how many tests he tries to pass, does not.

During examination that David is sure he’s going to be arrested at, he is approached by a scientist who asks him odd questions but eventually tells him that he’s going to go to war to defend his country. And David is ecstatic.

Though Davey is not the strongest, he proves to be the smartest and bravest and most worthy soldier at training camp. The reason he’s there is so that the scientist that approached him before can conduct an experiment on him and make him into a super soldier

Davey agrees

David is made into a super soldier, but instead of becoming an actual soldier becomes more of an add for patriotism.

Until one day he hears about a group of soldiers that are captures not far from the camp he’s set to entertain at.

Les is one of the captured soldiers

David goes against his orders and tracks down the hostages, freeing them all and finding his little brother strapped down to a table like some kind of experiment

Les is confused when he sees that his brother is actually taller and stronger than him.

They only barely manage to back it out of the collapsing building alive.

After this, Davey does get to fight against Nazi forces. He fights against several attacks with his brother as his right hand man and a woman named Peggy who he’s falling in love with

One of the missions that Davey is sent on with Les gets them into a moving train, which Les is shot in just before he falls out of the car down a cliff. He is reported dead.

David blames himself for this

Another attack ends with David in a plane, trying to save an entire city of people by diving down into the ocean. He talks to Peggy as he goes under, promising her a dance as neither of them have ever had the opportunity to slow dance with someone before.

He wakes up 70 years later

David is practically dragged into the Avengers.

He never truly gets used to the 21st century.

He and Jack do not get off to a great start

David is physically only three or four years older than Jack but Jack still calls him “old man”

David grows very close to the team he is given.

He’d protect them all with his life.

Racetrack Higgins

Antonio Higgins was orphaned in Russia when he was three years old.

He was found by an organization that took him and claimed him as their own.

Growing up, he was brainwashed and heavily trained in combat and in interrogation techniques.

Antonio Higgins was named after he was found. He doesn’t know his birth name.

Antonio was raised to be one of the most lethal Russian spies in history. He was basically psychologically programmed with false memories to ensure his loyalty to the organization

Race was brainwashed to believe he’d been a ballerina

Antonio is sent to the US to break into Kelly Industries and basically frame Jack for starting a terrorist attack.

Antonio is met with Iron Man instead.

Iron Man never gets a good look at him, but ultimately Antonio gets injured and runs. He lays low for a couple days only to be met with an ex-criminal now working for an organization called SHEILD. Who eventually becomes Race’s only friend and convinces Race to leave the people that raised him behind him.

After only a few months away from that, Antonio is recaptured and brainwashed all over again.

He’s sent to the US again only to be met with his only friend who held him break free of the control that this organization had over his mind and Antonio eventually is recruited by SHEILD as one of their best informants and combat specialists

Once Antonio becomes apart of the Avengers, Jack, who met him as a geeky assistant to Katherine a few months ago while undercover, calls him Race because he’s so quick

Race becomes close with the entire team, almost more so than the others as he’d grown up with no one to rely on but himself. Race is younger than Jack when he meets him. It amazed them all how much he’s been through.

Yes Race and Davey go through all the events of winter soldier and yes they are still like brothers when it’s all over, but Race discovers that it’s okay to have feelings for a man (even if that man isn’t David)

The first time Race can ever recall crying is after the events of Infinity War

Hot Shot

Luca Romano began as a normal kid.

He is orphaned when he was young, much like Race, only he has a brother.

His brother and him run away and join the circus where they are taken under the wing of a swordsman

Luca learns a lot about acrobatics and pickpocketing tricks.

This swordman eventually teaches Luca how to shoot a bow and arrow. This becomes Luca favorite trick and a talent he practices at for years to perfect.

He never misses.

A couple years after meeting this swordsman, Luca figures out that this man is a wanted criminal who he tried to turn over to the police

The man turned on him immediately and tries to kill him.

Eventually, the swordsman gets away and Luca’s brother follows him, stating that he’d rather have a warm bed and hot meal than the morals that Luca did

So Luca is on his own.

He stays at the circus and is known as Hawkeye, the world’s greatest marksman

Luca only ever wanted to help people. However, after a misunderstanding, he is perceived as a criminal and runs to not be taken into police custody

He’s seen hovering over a man who’d been stabbed and was bleeding out on the ground. He’d only been trying to help

SHEILD had an agent out at the time, watching the crime and going in to stop it. That’s when they found him. They brought him in. Luca thinks they’re arresting him. But they’re recruiting him.

They train him. Since he’s young, they basically help raise him. (He’s in his mid teens when they find him)

Eventually he’s sent out to find a spy that had broken into Kelly Industries. He’s told to eliminate him. And at this point, they’d taught him that sometimes bad people needed to be taken care of.

So he had every intention in doing it.

Until he met Antonio

Antonio reminded him of himself. Alone. Lied to. Nowhere to go. So he tried to help him. And they got close until Antonio was taken away

Luca makes it his goal to find Antonio (who is younger than him and reminds him of his little brother)

It takes about a year for that to happen

Once Hawkeye becomes an Avenger, Jack gives him the nickname “Hot Shot”

Hot Shot basically ends up being one of the most responsible avengers. He ends up having a family that only Race knows about and basically adopts Race as a little brother and teaches him the difference between good and bad

I love the Hawkeye/Blackwidow relationship

Spot Conlon

Sean Conlon is a brilliant scientist

During an experiment with a gamma bomb, he sees a teenager accidentally driving onto the range and rushed to save him by shoving him into a trench, but takes the gamma hit himself

He wakes up without a scratch

But that night, after one too many reporters manages to piss him off, he transforms into a big green monster, unable to control himself and destroying his own home.

Sean grew up an orphan. Passed from foster home to foster home. He grew up with issues already. Anger management issues, being one of them.

He’s horrified at the thought of hurting someone but has always been unable to control his fits of rage.

He tries to let his boss’s company take him in, expecting them to kill him if they can’t reverse whatever was done to him

After hundreds of tests and more torture than anything else, Sean tries to off himself, only to transform and have “the other guy” spit the bullet out of his throat.

Rather than try to continue fighting this curse he’s been given, he breaks out of the facility he’s locked in and focuses strongly on helping others rather than hurting them.

He travels all over the world and puts his scientific knowledge to use as he tries to cure diseases in other countries.

Sean avoids any relationship he can, not wanting to get close to people that he could potentially cause harm to

That’s why, when years later he finds himself being followed, he tries to scare the person off

Only to find a young man who escaped his every attempt at losing him

Though, he does manage to scare Race by pretending to get ready to transform. Race pretends not to be phased, even though he jumped

He gets dragged into the avengers and starts to fall for Race who is even more emotionless than he is.

Or at least, pretends to be

Lemme know what other characters you wanna hear about! What scenes or storylines you wanna hear about or see!

Birthday Surprise

Tom surprising y/n’s daughter for her birthday

Request: Hey doll :D Could I request something where Tom is dating the reader who has a 3 yr old daughter who is in love with Marvel, specifically Spiderman?? So they throw her a 4th birthday party & he comes dressed up as Spiderman or something? :) I love you & your writing so much, thank you if you do write this!!

A/n: This is going to melt my heart. I love kids so much and Tom is so precious, it’s a great combination. I’ve never been so pumped to write a request.

Dating as a teen mom was difficult- what guy wanted to be with a girl that has a kid? Not many. But that was okay with you. You didn’t need a boyfriend if he wasn’t going to love your daughter as well. You had just decided to give up looking for a boyfriend when you finally found him.

Tom was the kindest guy you had ever met. When you told him about your daughter, he didn’t bat an eye. He wanted to know more. He wanted to talk about her, meet her, play with her. It meant so much that he was willing to love not just you, but your little girl as well.

Tom met Alexis when she was just under two years old. She grew up with Tom and soon started to call him Dad. Fast forward and now she’s three, turning four in a few weeks. You were working on planning a birthday party for her, wanting it to be extra fun since it will probably be one of the first birthday parties she’ll actually remember.

“What kind of party do you want to have?” You asked her as you sat at your kitchen table. She was coloring as you watched her.

“Superhero!” She said excitedly as she looked up at you.

“Superhero?” You repeated, making her give you a quiet ‘yeah’. “Who are your favorite superhero’s?” You asked, knowing the answer. Having you as a mom and Tom as a father figure, she was practically being raised on Marvel films.

“I like Spider-Man the mostest. He’s really funny,” she told you, continuing to color. It made your heart so happy knowing how much she loved Spider-Man. She always commented on how her dad looked just like him, not yet realizing that it really was him.

“He is really funny, isn’t he? Do you like anyone else?”

“Starlord. And Drax!” She said with a little jump. “And Iron Man. I like the green lady too, she’s really pretty.”

“She is really pretty,” you said as you began to think about what you would need to get. “What kind of cake do you want?” Alexis gasped as she heard the question, sitting up really tall and beginning to explain what she wanted.

“Can I have one of those cakes that has the cakes on top of it? And one cake be Iron Man and one be Spider-Man?” She asked you. “But Spider-Man on top because he’s better.”

“I’ll see if we can do that,” you said with a little laugh.

“Can you see if Spider-Man and Iron Man Can come to my party too?” She asked looking up to you. You’re heart melted as she looked at you.

“I’ll give them a call and ask,” you promised her. “But they’re usually really busy saving the world, so I don’t want you to be upset if they can’t come, okay?” She nodded hearing your words.

You asked her a few more questions before she had to go to her dance class. You drove her to the studio and then drove to a restaurant to meet Tom for lunch. You were sat in your car waiting for him to arrive, texting your mom to see if she could pick Alexis up from dance so you could go shopping for party stuff.

“Hey, pretty girl,” You heard Tom say as he walked up to your car, placing his arms on the door where the window was down.

“Hey, sorry I was texting my mom real quick,” you told him as you finished up your last text, grabbing your bag and stepping out of the car. You both walked inside, a hostess sitting you at a table.

“How’s your day been so far?” Tom asked you as you sat down.

“It’s been good. I was asking Lex about her birthday party, what she wanted to do. I’ll give you one guess as to what she asked for,” you told him.

“A Marvel theme?” He guessed excitedly.

“Specifically Spider-Man and Iron Man and Guardians,” you told him with a nod. “In that order.”

“Teaching her right,” Tom said with a proud smile on his face.

“She also asked if Spider-Man and Iron Man could come to her party,” you let him know. “I told her I’d ask but that they might be busy.”

“I can get the suit and wear it for a while if you want me too,” he offered. “And I can give Robert a call, see if he’s available.”

“I’d love that, but I don’t want you to feel like you have to. I mean, she wants Spider-Man there, but she also wants you there, and as far as she knows right now, yall are two different people.”

“I’ll get something worked out. I want to do that for her,” Tom told you. You nodded your head with a small smile on your face.

“Are you busy the rest of the day?” You asked him as the waitress brought your check.

“I have to call my manager about something, but that’s it.”

“Will you go with me to get decorations and stuff? I wanted to go after I leave here so I can have it done and available.”

“Yeah, definitely,” He said.

. . .

Three weeks later, it was the day of Alexis’s birthday party and you were making the finishing touches before the guests arrived. You had dressed your girl in the cutest dress you found on Etsy- it had a white top with her initial in the middle and the skirt had all the different marvel characters on it. It was perfect, Alexis was so excited when she saw it.

You were placing the food on the table when you got a call from Tom.

“Hey, are you all suited up?” You asked him. He told you what he decided to do a few days ago, and it was a great plan.

“Just about,” he told you. “What time do you want me to come?”

“Um,” you said as you thought. “Maybe five or ten minutes after it starts. Give the kids time to show up and start playing.”

“Alright, I’ll see you then, love.”

You hung up the phone and went back inside.

“Mommy! Eva’s here!” Alexis ran to you, letting you know people were arriving. “And Sam!”

“Let’s go get them,” you told her. She grabbed your hand and skip beside you as you made your way to the door, the doorbell ringing as you began walking.

“Happy birthday, Alexis!” The kids yelled as you opened the door. You watched as she hugged all of her friends before they immediately ran to the backyard to play. It wasn’t long before most everyone had shown up- your backyard littered with children. You were talking to your mom and Nikki as you felt your phone vibrate. 

Thomas❤️: We’re heading back right now

You bit your lip as you tried to hide your smile, excited to see the exchange.

“Woah!” You heard Tom’s American accent from behind you, entering your yard. “Did anyone see that huge dog? I think it was trying to steal my shoes.”

“Spider-Man!” Alexis yelled, running to meet him. He immediately crouched down to be face to face with her.

“That’s me,” He said pointing to himself. “What’s your name?”

“Alexis,” she said with a jump. “And that’s my mommy,” she pointed to you as she noticed you standing to the side. Tom turned to face you.

“Hey, mommy,” he said waving at you. “You’re really pretty.” You smiled as he turned back to Alexis, taking his mask off. “How did you get so many people here?” He asked her looked at all her friends and family.

“It’s my birthday party,” she told him.

“It’s your birthday?” He asked excitedly making her nod. “Happy birthday, Alexis.”

“Thank you,” She said shyly. “You look a lot like my dad.”

“Do I? He must be one lucky guy to have a daughter as great as you,” he said, your heart melting at his words. You loved that they loved each other so much. “Well, Alexis, I’m sorry I don’t have a real present for you. But I can give you this,” he said as his reached into the neck of his suit, pulling out a necklace with an Avengers pendent.

“Mr. Stark gave this to me when I became an Avenger- you know Mr. Stark?”

“Iron man!” Alexis yelled.

“Yes, Iron Man. He gave this to me, but I want you to have it, as long as you promise to keep it safe. Can you do that for me?” He asked her, putting the necklace in her hands.

“I can do that!” She said sounding super excited.

“Perfect,” Tom said before glancing back towards you. “Mr. Stark wanted me to tell you happy birthday. He’s really upset he couldn’t be here.”

“That’s okay,” Alexis told him, still looking at her new necklace.

“Why don’t you ask Mr. Spider-Man if you can have a picture?” You told Alexis. She nodded before turning back to Tom.

“Can I have a picture?” She shyly asked Tom, swaying from side to side.

“Of course! Where should we take it, mom?” He stood up to ask you. You pointed to where would be best, Tom doing his Spider-Man pose with Alexis, showing her how to do the web hand pose. You watched as he began to talk and take pictures with the rest of the kids, hanging out for a little longer before he pressed a hand to his ear, acting like he was getting a call.

“That was Iron Man! He needs me right now, so I gotta go. It was so nice to meet everyone,” he said to the crowd of kids before bending down to Alexis again. “Happy birthday,” he said one more time, opening his arms and giving her a hug. “I hope I’ll see you soon! Bye!” He yelled as he ran away. You watched as Alexis ran up to you looking so excited. She told you about everything he told her, showing off her new necklace and doing the web shooter pose some more.

While she was talking to you, Tom rushed to get his suit off and slipped on his normal clothes before going back outside.

“Hey, love! Happy birthday!” He said as he reached Alexis, picking her up to talk to her.

“Dad! You missed Spider-Man!” She told him.

“Spider-Man? What?” He asked. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah, he gave me this,” she said holding up the necklace.

“That’s so cool, darling,” he told her. He put her down and she ran to plan with her friends some more. Tom walked over to you, placing an arm around your shoulders. “Went well, I guess?”

“Went perfect,” you told him. “Thank you for doing that.”

“It was no problem,” he said, pulling on your shoulders to kiss your head.

BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH MIGHTY ENDGAME REWATCH MEMECEPTION 2: MEMIER AND CEPTIONIER

yes i HAVE been keeping up with the rewatch but i HAVEN’T been keeping up with typing up my notes from the rewatch but BOY HOWDY I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME AREN’T I.

Ok so here we go with Guardians 2 --

today we mourn the passing of an icon. farewell old marvel logo. ye shall be missed.

MISSOURI. EARTH. 1980.

so whose music taste does starlord actually have? his own? his mom’s? 

My Boss’s, in fact????

be it known that i work retail and the station we listen to is basically the guardians soundtrack which might sound neat but basically all these songs are dead to me now.

digitally enyouthened kurt russell must be mentally re en agened so i don't go mad like some sorry sucker faced with a lovecraftian horror tbh

34 YEARS LATER

which means 2014 confirmed which means we're actually watching this out of in-universe chronological order

our bad

this is the REAL opening. slipping back into their flashback ways i see.

Is groot dancing or fighting? both?

i love that all the action is out of focus, what we really want is Cute Groot Content and they know that.

“IT’S THE SAME THICKNESS FROM THE INSIDE AS FROM THE OUTSIDE” they said

in deliberate defiance of anthony tedward ‘you know the story of jonah and the whale?’ stark

none of this info is important or relevant

good hermit look nebula. solid hermit attire.

how does no one figure out the obvious battery thing faster? they’re not even out of the hall when he tips his hand

awwwwhwhwhh groot

~this one’s for the ladies~

i honestly can’t remember the context for that note i’m gonna assume that peter took his shirt off

it’s worth noting that drax is actually sneaky

“i will kill you”

all the ppl with siblings: *nod sagely* solid sibling interaction there.

i do love that it’s like an arcade

Just In Case You Were Wondering, The Guardians Have Not Grown Up At Alllllllllll.

sooooooooo drax going out the back -- that was the plan?

And drax is dead now, right?

and gamora?

and nebula?

and.... everyone?

BERHART

Gamora: LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!

all of us: mood.

nebula is also very bad at lying. 

Kurt Russell is here

“yeah my name is very on the nose. That’s comics for ya!”

CONTRAXA

The Roommate: There’s something extra unsettling about robot prostitutes not sure what...

prostitute: *turns herself off*

The Roommate: Yep. it’s that. 

that’s extremely rude of you rocky

honestly how dare this movie make me feel feelings about yondu

The Roommate: oh hey it’s laserface

me: it’s taserface actually

The Roommate: ........ that’s so much worse?

this carpet gag deserves more appreciation

Star-Lord’s “IT’S HAPPENING” face is just

Yup, that’s ur dad

Query: is Mantis one of Ego’s kids?

“what if this man is your hasselhoff?”

git ur daddy issues

git ur daddy issues here

hang on why was gamora so pissed if they can just grow new ship parts no problem???

Mantis is so cute but more importantly

HER EYE MAKEUP GAME IS ON! POINT!

i love rocket, always, but especially here with all the singing

but not that

nope

don’t like that

Just gonna kevin mccalister this whole forest huh

these guys are also dead, yeah?

yeah.

EGO’S PLANET

good job drax excellent grasp on humility

he’s built a museum to himself here

“yes, i have a penis.”

Gamora’s FACE here omg

what did Ego look like? pre Kurt Russell? did he go around seducing alien ladies with tentacle faces all the while looking like Kurt Russell? seems unlikely, since he can make himself look like Whatever. more likely he’s just pasted the Kurt Russell face over everything now because he’s got his Kurt Russell kid here, right?

A Very Smart Question We Never Get A Real Answer To. 

literally the most unrealistic thing in this movie: how could anyone be mean to baby groot?

can we take a moment to acknowledge that this is all like hella hella dark?

y i k e s

Ok but if Nebula doesn’t kill thanos then What Is The Point.

The Roommate: Peter and his dad play catch is so predictable i’d have felt robbed if they didn’t tbh. it HAD to be in slow mo.

me: ....

me: i just thought they were throwing it real slow

we still don’t have an answer here incidentally

Mantis is at least an adopted sibling then, right?

“No Gef. It’s Too Adorable To Kill.”

them all chanting mascot is terribly on the nose

this sequence made the full funny loop. went from funny to not funny and then pushed on through back to hilarious

They knew about the fin? and just?? Left it???

EXCELLENT use of slo mo

Yondu: Too Powerful to Live

Kraglin: Keepin it tight in those leather pants

[amandajoyce118]

Captain Marvel Easter Eggs And References

My goal for Easter egg lists is always to get them up within a week of a movie’s opening, or the same night that a television episode airs, but I’ve had an injured wrist/thumb that has made writing difficult. So, Captain Marvel hasn’t been delayed because of a busy life, but because I’ve been trying to rest my hand. I’ve been wearing a brace and thumb stabilizer for most of my day for the last few weeks, so I should be getting back to normal soon.

As usual with my Easter egg lists, this list assumes you’ve seen the movie, and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe  for that matter. There will be spoilers. You have been warned. I’m sticking mainly with comic and MCU references, so you won’t find a lot of pop culture ones here. If you want someone to give you the 90s rundown, I’m sure you can find it online.

The Stan Lee Tribute

Every MCU movie opens with the same sequence, highlighting the heroes that are part of the universe. This is the first Marvel movie to hit theaters since Stan Lee’s death, so they did something a little different. That sequence instead highlights him. The color scheme and the background text remains the same, but none of the actors are there, just shots of Stan Lee from different movies and red carpet events. I won’t lie. I’ve teared up a little every time I’ve seen it.

Hala

Both the name of the main planet and the capital city in the Kree Empire. MCU fans saw it before in Guardians of the Galaxy, though it was a bit darker and didn’t seem as tech-friendly. It makes me wonder just what happened in the years in between.

“There are tabs for that.”

Not an Easter egg, but a tiny bit of world building. Going into this movie, I think most people knew that Carol Danvers AKA Vers was really from Earth. But, I find it interesting that Yon-Rogg is so quick to offer Carol a Kree sleeping aid. It reinforces the idea we’ve seen on Agents of SHIELD that human and Kree physiology are relatively compatible.

Supreme Intelligence

Less of an Easter egg and more of a direct comic book adaptation, the Supreme Intelligence is also an A.I. in the comics. There, it’s made up of all of the minds of the smartest and most distinguished Kree after they day. That’s presumably what Yon-Rogg’s “join the collective” comment meant in the movie as well. The idea of it becoming the person you most admire is created for the movie.

Carol’s Inhibitor

The comics have tried many different inhibitors on characters with super powers over the years. The X-Men usually have collars. Alien species like their neural inhibitors though, which is what Carol appears to have when she trains with Yon-Rogg. Kudos to the MCU for keeping their tech consistent across movies and TV since it appears to be the same type as what Quake ends up with in the future on Agents of SHIELD. Interesting that Daisy’s is embedded in her brain tissue while Carol’s is on the surface of her skin. Something changed in the decades in between - probably the fact that Carol was able to disable hers. Then again, so was Daisy.

Starforce

This is considered a group of supervillains in the comics, so perhaps movie fans might have expected their turn if they knew that. A few of the members are different in the comics. For example, Yon-Rogg isn’t a member, but Ronan the Accuser is. ScreenRant did a good job at running down who’s who in the movie version since they’re all comic book characters. You can see that here.

Torfa

Torfa is a relatively new creation in the planets. It first popped up in 2014, which tells you the movie pulls from a lot of the new comic book continuity. Like the movie, Torfa was a planet where refugees lived. Also like the movie, not all of them survived the hostile atmosphere, though in the comics, it was chemicals, not Kree that were hostile. Carol also had it out with Starlord’s comic book dad there.

Talos

Talos is in the comics, but apparently he’s also a Star Trek reference. Not a Trekkie, though I do find the franchise interesting, so I’ll direct you to this article for a full explanation.

Carol’s Look

One of Carol’s most iconic looks in the comics is her mohawk. She gets it for the movie in the form of her helmet keeping her hair in place. Her uniform, with the green color scheme, is one all of Starforce uses, but it’s also a nod to the original Captain Marvel’s uniform in the comics. In fact, the color changing of her suit appears to be a nod to a few other costumes she had in the comics too. The red, yellow, and blue came later. I’m just glad we didn’t have her bathing-suit like uniform of her Ms. Marvel days.

Maria “Photon” Rambeau

Maria is created for the movie (her daughter is from the comics), and though we learn more about her much later, we see her callsign on her jet during Carol’s early flashbacks. Photon is actually one of the many superhero names Monica Rambeau uses in the comics. Nice touch.

Carol’s Family

Carol’s family flashbacks only ever show us her brother and her father. We don’t get much of an idea about her homelife other than her relatives not wanting her to be as rough as the boys. That’s very much a part of her comic book background. Her father favors her brother so much that, even though Carol has the better grades growing up, he only pays for her brother to get a university education. Carol joins the Air Force for the free tuition and to prove she’s as good as the boys to her father. (It’s also interesting that we never see her mother since a recent retcon in the comics has her mother as a Kree refuge and Carol’s birth name as Car-El as she’s half Kree.) It’s also interesting to note that a lot of Carol’s major stories in her classic comics involve her losing her memories and having to figure out who she is all over again.

Lieutenant Trouble

It’s a cute nickname for Monica with Carol’s military background. It’s also a nod to another little girl Carol new in the comics with the same nickname and Monica being a police officer in the comics when she’s introduced as an adult. She’s also from Louisiana, just like the Rambeaus are in the movie.

Dr. Lawson

We’ve got some genderbending going on for the new generation. In the comics, the original Captain Marvel is Mar-Vell, a Kree soldier sent to Earth to monitor the planet as it gets destroyed by Galactus. Mar-Vell comes to sympathize with humanity and turns on the Kree to help the humans. He also takes the guise of a scientist with NASA named Dr. Lawson while he’s undercover. Sounds familiar, except her Lawson and Mar-Vell are a woman and the race she sympathizes with are the Skrulls. The original story also had Mar-Vell and Carol ending up in an accident with a piece of Kree technology that left Carol with his powers. I love the twist on this origin story. There’s plenty of nods to the source material without Carol’s jealousy of Mar-Vell from the comics, and without her playing second fiddle to a heroic dude for a long time.

Project PEGASUS

In the comics, Project PEGASUS is a unit researching alternative energy sources. It also acts as a prison for those with superpowers. We’ve actually seen mention of it in the MCU before. For the MCU, it was created in the 1940s when Howard Stark found the Tesseract in the ocean while looking for Captain America. It was a joint venture between the Airforce, NASA, and what would become SHIELD to study it. It gets a mention in a few of the tie-in comics for the MCU movies, but specifically, Tony Stark mentions he wants files on it to JARVIS when he’s going through his dad’s stuff in Iron Man 2. A sign for it also appears on the wall in a SHIELD facility in Agents of SHIELD.

Blockbuster And Radio Shack

A+ choices for the businesses for Carol to run into. Two companies that are essentially extinct 20 years later, but were cutting edge at the time. (From what I understand the Blockbuster scenes were actually filmed at the last Blockbuster left in the US. It’s in Arizona. Go figure.)

True Lies

True Lies gets noticed in the video store because Carol shoots the standee, but the spy movie is known for a fighter jet sequence, and it was the first true “blockbuster” movie because it cost over $100 million to make - unheard of in 1994. The fighter jet prop used in it was also repurposed and used in The Avengers, so it’s like Easter egg inception here.

Universal Translator

So much is made about alien races speaking English in the MCU. In the comics, pretty much anyone traveling through space has a universal translator built into their ship or their helmets. This one off mention from Carol reminds us of that, though she’s likely speaking English anyway.

Coulson the Skrull

Phil Coulson appears as a rookie agent in the 90s. I’d wager this is one of his first big jobs since he’s still on evidence collection. You know him from the Iron Man and Avengers movies as well as, you know, Agents of SHIELD. I like that he’s the one a Skrull simulates instead of Fury because there were so many theories about who could be a Skrull when they were announced for this movie. It’s also a nice misdirect from Marvel that there’s concept art out there of Fury’s transformation from a Skrull, but not Coulson’s.

And, I mean, Nick Fury’s not an Easter egg, so I don’t need to remind you he basically started the MCU with Hulk and Iron Man, right? Though this movie does make me worry about his driving record in the MCU. He seems to end up in a lot of accidents.

Stan Lee And Mallrats

Stan Lee’s cameo is extra special because it’s also a nod to a real life cameo of his. How very meta. The script he’s holding on the train is for Kevin Smith’s Mallrats, where he really did say the line, “trust me, True Believers,” something he also said a lot in his editorials in the comics.

Kelly Sue Deconnick

When Carol gets off the train, she passes a woman with red hair and glasses in her walk. That’s Deconnick. She wrote the Captain Marvel comic book series a few years ago that this movie pulls a lot of its nods (and aesthetic) from. We can likely credit her with the surge in popularity Carol’s seen the last few years, and the reason she had a movie in development at all.

1989

In case there’s anything noteworthy for you in the year Carol ended up in Hala: Ron Perelman bought Marvel Entertainment Group, the massive X-Men Inferno story arc played out, the new Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD comic launched, and Jubilee made her comic book debut.

1995

Likewise, for Carol’s return to Earth: the Age of Apocalypse comics launched, Thor made his 400th comic book appearance, comic books like The Fantastic Four and The Amazing Spider-Man had landmark issues as well, and a bunch of Punisher comics were cancelled, only for Marvel to turn around and launch a new Punisher comic later in the year. The Skrull Kill Crew mini series also launched.

SHIELD Logo

Thanks, Carol for calling out the fact that a covert group shouldn’t put their logo on everything. Fans have been saying that for years. Also, nice touch that it’s not the sleek and modern logo we see in Agents of SHIELD, but the older one seen on the Wall of Valor in the MCU before.

“Smile for me.”

I know that Brie Larson was asked about this moment in an interview and said it wasn’t an Easter egg. But the fact that she was criticized so much by male fans for not smiling in promotional materials made me add this to the list.

SHIELD Medical Examiner

Nelson Franklin played him. He also appeared in an episode of Agents of SHIELD. Maybe they’re just relatives.

A “Full Bird Colonel”

Carol calls Fury this during their chat at Pancho’s. His military history before joining SHIELD is right in line with the comics. Of course, he was from New York, not Alabama there. He also says he likes the B’s and spent time in Budapest. Not the same mission as Hawkeye and Black Widow though, right?

“Just Fury”

Nick Fury also points out that he only goes by Fury. Not Nicholas. Not Nick. Just Fury. I intend on going back and finding when in the MCU someone calls him Nick to his face. Maybe it’s like a distress signal for him.

“You look like someone’s disaffected niece.”

Fury says this to Carol when he points out her clothes not fitting in on a secret base. But it reminded me of the comments about her looking like Emily VanCamp, who plays Peggy Carter’s niece Sharon.

The Welcome Wagon

Carol’s not familiar with the term, though Fury is. Probably because that’s what they call the intake program for new “assets” with SHIELD. That’s what Coulson eventually wants Skye to do when he adds her to his team in Agents of SHIELD.

Ronan The Accuser

You probably recognize Lee Pace’s character from Guardians of the Galaxy. In that movie, he was after a little purple gem that turned out to be the Power Stone. He’s a Kree purist, out to conquer neighboring lands and make sure the Kree stay in power. He’s not all that different here. His mention of coming back for the weapon and the woman at the end is likely a nod to him pursuing other Infinity Stones, even if it’s not clear that he knows what they are here. By the time of Guardians, he’s got whole rituals he’s participating in, which includes painting his face in Blue Kree blood. It doesn’t look like he’s quite that fanatical here. He does, however, inspire loyalty in Korath, who eventually works for him directly, which does make me wonder what happened to Yon-Rog after this and how much Korath told Ronan about their encounter with Carol on Earth as well.

“That’s a flerken.”

Goose likely gets his name from Top Gun, but he gets his alien identity from the comics. In the comics from a few years ago, Carol has a companion on her spaceship - a cat named Chewie. As Rocket Raccoon points out to her, “that’s no cat. That’s a flerken.” Like Talos, Rocket was right. Chewie ends up having a whole litter of flerkens. Goose just eats things and people at convenient times.

Women Flying Combat

Maria notes that women weren’t allowed to fly combat in 1989. That’s true. They weren’t allowed to fly combat until 1993, a few years before the movie is set. The first woman to get to after the ban lifted? That would be Jeannie M. Leavitt. Now Brigadier General Leavitt, she actually trained Brie Larson for her role in the film and appears in the new Air Force ads.

ASIS

The name given to Lawson’s new aircraft, as mentioned briefly by Maria, is ASIS. It’s a nod to Marvel’s Ultimate universe where that version of Captain Marvel developed it. Carol was his head of security, and his girlfriend, in that universe.

A Kree Blood Transfusion

We find out that when Carol was brought to Hala, she needed a blood transfusion to stay alive. I like this nod to GH-325 on Agents of SHIELD, but it does make me wonder why Carol was saved from going mad. Is it because that particular Kree on the series had something in his blood that made everyone end up with it driven to find the ancient city? Is it because Carol was already brainwashed into thinking she was Kree? It’s interesting that Kree blood often comes with messing with memories though.

A Kree Imperial Cruiser

Mar-Vell much have had some military connections when she left Hala and came to Earth if she had a cruiser. We’ve seen them before in the MCU commanded by Ronan’s people. The design here is basically the same, but again, it looks like she’s got more tech, likely because the scientific nature of her work. It does make me wonder if she ever ran into the other smaller ships stationed near Earth that were monitoring the planet for Inhuman activity. (Remember the ones left in orbit to destroy the inhuman abominations in Agents of SHIELD?)

The Tesseract

The Space Stone certainly gets a lot of mileage in the MCU. Hydra wanted it, SHIELD experimented with it, Loki stole it, and now, we found out what else SHIELD was doing with it besides Fury’s secret weapons making team. Lawson, though we see her as part of the air force, is a SHIELD scientist. Like I said, PEGASUS is a joint effort by a few groups. She’s using the Tesseract for space travel though, like it should be.

Quadjet

Nice touch that Carol and Maria use a quadjet to rescue the Skrulls. Why? Because just a decade later SHIELD is using the later model - a quinjet.

Carol Stopping The Warheads

This imagery, like a lot of what comes with Carol glowing and flying, is straight out of the comics. She actually flies into Earth’s atmosphere and slows a sentinel from crashing to Earth in one comic. It looks nearly exactly like this sequence, except, you know, there are other Avengers with her in the comics.

Sizzling Power Lines

We hear the crackle of electricity and see power moving along the lines when Carol brings Yon-Rogg to Earth. This looks to be a nod to how her power works in the comics. She doesn’t just magically produce photo blasts. She absorbs ambient energy from her surroundings to fuel herself. That’s why she doesn’t technically need to eat, or even why she doesn’t need to breathe in the vacuum of space. Her power converts energy around her to sources to sustain her.

Mother Flerken

This has to be a nod to the fact that MCU movies don’t drop F-bombs, though Samuel L. Jackson loves them.

Mar-Vell. Two Words.

Fury mistakenly calls Mar-Vell Marvel. Carol corrects him. That’s kind of how the Captain Marvel term came to be in an alternate universe in the comics though. No one could pronounce Mahr-Vell in the Ultimate universe, so people called him Captain Marvel.

“We found her, and we weren’t even looking.”

I know that this is a nod to Fury’s eventual gathering of the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye together. But this is also a reminder that for decades, SHIELD was seeking out people with powers. As Agents of SHIELD showed their audience, some of those people were then locked up and exploited by Hydra agents working undercover. SHIELD still likely has a lot of super powered skeletons in its closet.

Mid Credit Scene

What a surprise. Captain Marvel will show up after the pager is activated in Avengers: Endgame. We’re all surprised, right? (Sarcasm, I know.)

Special Thanks

During the credits, there are a slew of comic creators listed in the special thanks section. Among them are heavyweights like Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Waid, Ralph Macchio, Gene Conway, Jack Kirby, and Chris Claremont. I honestly missed that section the first time and didn’t read them fast enough to catch more. But they aren’t directly responsible for Captain Marvel, but instead had a huge effect on Marvel comics as a whole with massive runs for different properties.

Post Credit Scene

Goose coughing up that tesseract was necessary for Fury to later use to attempt to develop weapons, just like Hydra, in a secret SHIELD program that Captain America won’t like in The Avengers.

A few side notes:

Coulson’s Gut

To be perfectly honest, I feel like Coulson’s part was originally just a generic rookie SHIELD agent in the script. I think when they got the chance to add Clark Gregg to the cast, a few things changed, like this exchange between Fury and Carol about going with your gut instead of following orders. That has always been Coulson’s thing. And, even though Fury is always yelling at people to follow orders, it’s actually how he operates too. It’s why he’s always set up ways for himself, and his proteges, to work around the system. I like that it was touched on here since it’s such a big part of Agents of SHIELD.

Coulson’s Kree Knowledge

Does this create a plot hole? Coulson specifically remarks to Fury at the end of the movie that he heard a Kree took out his eye. But when Lady Sif made her appearance on Agents of SHIELD, Coulson had no visible reaction to her telling him that Kree were one of the blue skinned aliens she knows of. Also, does Coulson even know they were (mostly) blue? After all, he might not since his only face to face with a “Kree” was Carol. It makes me wonder if he suspected the alien that provided GH-325 was Kree all along. Obviously, this is just the kind of thing that happens when universes expand, and it can all be explained away with SHIELD’s use of their memory machine on him, but it still makes me wonder.

Fury And The Women Around Him

I love the theme in the MCU of Fury surrounding himself with powerful women. We’ve seen that Maria Hill is his right hand over and over - even when she was working for Stark. We also saw that he and Natasha Romanoff were close. He trusted her to do the dirty work Steve Rogers wouldn’t. We also know he trusted Sharon Carter and Melinda May to report to him directly during their spy work. Now, Carol Danvers inspires the Avengers Initiative and he invites Maria to work with him after spending one mission with her. I want to meet Fury’s mom. Because she must have been one hell of a woman.

That’s it. Anything I missed? Feel free to tell me because there’s no way I caught every Easter egg.

Walking The Wire (129/?)

Summary: Tony Stark always knew about Peter Parker. He didn’t know that Peter was going to get superpowers and become Spider-Man, but he always knew about Peter because Peter was his son.

This will span from pre-Iron Man up through the rest of the MCU (eventually including Infinity War) and will be for the most part canon compliant except where I’ve taken some liberties and interpreted canon a certain way.

Pairings: Pepper/Tony, Tony/Steve (endgame), Tony/Mary (past)

A/N: If you want me to tag you when I post new chapters let me know. This fic is also on AO3

I used Collider’s MCU timeline to stay canon and the title of this fic is an Imagine Dragons song that is just so fitting for Peter and Tony

Chapter One Hundred Twenty Eight

If he were being honest, Tony hadn’t expected to be rescued. Nebula seemed to be of the same mind even if she tried not to show it to Tony. With the ship just drifting and their oxygen getting down to dangerous levels, he and Nebula weren’t doing much but sitting around. Nebula told him about space and wormholes and how much there was to see. She told him about the Guardians of the Galaxy even while making it clear that she wasn’t one of them but how her sister despite all her past misdeeds had found a place there. She had found love.

“Starlord,” Tony said.

Nebula scoffed at the name. “Quill. He named himself that. It’s ridiculous.”

Everyone one of them was gone now -- dusted. All but two whose whereabouts she didn’t know.

“They must have taken the emergency pod,” she said.

Things might have been different if they had that pod. They might have been able to make it to Earth on it. He remembered when she discovered it was gone and how angry she’d been.

“Do you think they got your message?” Nebula asked.

“I connected to the satellite. My guess is that Friday delivered it. It’s a matter of them coming to find us now and doing it before…” He waved his hand.

Nebula nodded.

By Tony’s estimation he had sent the message about an hour earlier. Even if there was a delay with the message arriving to the satellite or the satellite and Friday’s communication and then the delivery of the message to whoever was left, Tony didn’t expect that the delay would be more than ten or fifteen minutes. But then there was them figuring out how to find them and get to them and that would take more time.

Space was kind of beautiful in a way -- it was still scary, but there was a beauty to it. It was dark and so so huge but Tony could understand why it had such an appeal for so many. There were probably countless people down on Earth who would have loved to have the view they had. Maybe they wouldn’t have wanted to be in their situation exactly, but they would liked the view of the stars.

Tony stood up to look from the front of the ship, taking it all in and trying to come to peace with it. He was going to die in space. It was kind of poetic in a way, to think that he’d die in the place he had always sort of expected to. The last thing he expected was to see was one of his quinjets. He gasped and laughed in quick succession.

“What happened?”

“I guess they got my message,” Tony said.

Peter didn’t feel hungry or tired or much of anything at all. He just kind of was. It didn’t really seem to matter. They existed without existing in the weird orange space.

“Who was that guy?” Bucky asked, motioning back towards Strange.

“He’s a wizard,” Peter said. “Doctor Strange. He looked at all possible realities and whatever ended up happening -- it’s supposed to lead us to beating Thanos.”

“Big purple guy,” Bucky said and then shook his head.

Peter nodded. “That one. So, Doctor Strange had the Time Stone and he got captured by an alien so we went after him. Didn’t really matter because he gave him the stone in exchange for my dad’s life.”

“And then he came and took the stone from Vision,” Bucky said. “He won. So, what does this wizard think is going to happen next?”

“He gave it to Thanos after seeing the possible futures,” Peter said.

“Right. That makes a lick of sense. I’m not sure I trust him.”

Peter shrugged. All he knew was that Strange had seen the future so he must have known exactly how it was all going to pan out including this -- them being in this weird orange limbo and his dad left behind on Titan with all of them gone. But if Strange had known that he himself was going to turn to dust then it was likely that it wasn’t going to be permanent.

When he told Bucky, Bucky just grunted. “Hope so.”

“Me too. My dad was -- Thanos stabbed him. I hope he’s okay.”

“He’s Tony Stark. Of course he will be,” Bucky said.

“Yeah,” Peter said and sighed.

It felt like hours before Rocket started a video call with them. Steve had been rooted to the couch since Tony’s message had arrived. He’d listened to it too many times to count while waiting just because it meant hearing Tony’s voice.

Slowly, the others had all gotten back to what they were doing. Bruce had gone to the lab and Steve didn’t know if he was keeping busy or actually working on something. Natasha had mumbled something about calling Pepper and then Rhodey had prepared Steve a sandwich, excusing himself as he suited up and left for the compound. Thor had given him a pat on the back before he wandered off. Steve just stayed on the couch with K-9 at his side and he didn’t know what to do. Or if he could do anything. Mostly he felt useless and despondent and waiting on Rocket was almost painful. He had lost Bucky and Peter and that was enough to send him into a depressed spiral but then there was Tony. Tony who was in space and who may or may not make it back home.

When the video feed finally came up, Steve could see just the inside of the quinjet and then a few seconds later Rocket came into view.

“I have him and my ship,” Rocket said without preamble. “I’m going to tow them down to Earth. I’ll need a place to land. That tower of yours won’t do.”

“He’s -- Tony’s okay?”

Rocket nodded. He seemed more distant than before and it was then that Steve realized he’d mentioned his ship.

“Is -- are your friends with him?”

“Only one,” Rocket said and left it at that. Steve bowed his head.  “We’ll be there in an hour or two, Captain. Where am I going?”

“The Avengers facility. The coordinates should already be on the GPS. I -- thank you. Thank you.”

Rocket gave a nod and without a goodbye just shut off the video feed and Steve didn’t know what to think or feel. Tony was coming home. Rocket had found him. For the first time since realizing that Thanos won, Steve began to feel some hope. Tony was alive. He was coming home.

He had Friday send a message to everyone with the news and it began to feel more and more real. Rocket had said an hour or two. He needed to get to the compound.

“Rocket found him?”

Steve found Bruce was back. He was wearing a lab coat and he looked a little messy, but he seemed just as hopeful as Steve.

“Yes,” Steve said and couldn’t help his smile. Bruce returned it.

It was a rocky entrance into Earth’s atmosphere and Tony kept himself strapped to one of the seats as they went but even then it felt like he could go flying at any moment. His knuckles were turning white from how hard he held onto the armrests.

When the quinjet had called into the ship earlier, Tony had expected a familiar voice of a fellow Avenger. Instead, the voice was gruff and belonging to someone that Tony didn’t know. His excitement had deflated a little until Nebula perked up.

“Rocket?” she’d asked. “Is that you?”

“Yeah. It’s me. Anybody else aboard? Some guy named Tony Stark perhaps? Or...or the others?”

Nebula’s lips were pressed together hard and she winced before answering. “Stark is here. The rest of them -- they’re gone. Turned to dust.”

“Oh,” Rocket said. “So is Groot. Not that you probably care.”

“I liked the tree,” Nebula answered.

Tony let Nebula deal with Rocket. It took a while to attach the Benatar to the quinjet but somehow, Rocket managed it and when they heard from him again he told them to strap in and then they began to move. Their oxygen levels were still quite low and it seemed like they were being rescued just in time. Tony had no idea how they had managed it so quickly or how Rocket had ended up with one of his quinjets but he wasn’t complaining.

After they crossed Earth’s atmosphere and the ship stopped shaking as much, Tony finally felt like he was going to be safe and that only intensified with how much he could see of his home planet.

“Your planet is very odd,” Nebula said. “Very green.”

Tony laughed. “It’s gorgeous is what it is,” Tony said.

The ship had enough power that Nebula could control their landing to an extent which meant that it was smoother than it could have been if they were just tugged along by the quinjet. Tony still felt a bit jostled when they landed.

“We made it,” he whispered as soon as they stopped moving.

“We did,” Nebula said.

Tony groaned. His chest hurt and his lungs burned and he was parched. None of that really mattered and he hadn’t been paying it much mind while they were in space but now it was almost like he could feel all of it again. It felt relevant. He unstrapped himself with shaking hands, but Nebula was there to help him to his feet and then she wrapped an arm around his waist and together they made it to the back of the ship.

The wait was sort of killing him. He and Bruce had gathered anyone that was still in the tower and flown a quinjet to the compound. The others they had sent messages to. Steve had called Pepper directly, letting her know what was happening. He was sure she’d want to see Tony herself and Tony would want to see her as well. It had been surreal to get the message and then to have Rocket out there actually find Tony and now to know that they were coming home.

Thor boarded the quinjet slightly more uplift but still there was an aura of regret and grief about him that wouldn’t leave. It probably surrounded all of them. Steve knew he wasn’t faring much better. Knowing he’d be seeing Tony soon made him lighter but it didn’t change what had happened. It didn’t change that Peter was gone.

Steve couldn’t stop touching his ring. For a while he hadn’t been able to look at it. He’d been tempted to take it off even to save him the grief of not knowing if that was the last piece of Tony he would ever have. Now, it was a promise of the future again. His eyes wouldn’t leave it. Their future was so uncertain, but for Steve the ring and Tony -- those were the things he could hold on to.

The compound was still in need of some cleanup from the last time they were there and the fight with the aliens. It was a worry for another day. It was lucky that the main building was still in tact. Rhodey was waiting for them when they arrived, looking just on the side of anxious. He clapped Steve’s back when he reached him.

“Friday is keeping an eye on the skies,” Rhodey said.

“Good,” Steve said.

Rhodey looked relieved and anxious all at once. They couldn’t be sure that everything would go well. They didn’t know what state Tony might be in but he was coming home and that mattered more. Everything else could be dealt with.

“Do we have a medical wing?” Bruce asked. “He’s at the very least dehydrated. If there is no one else available then I’ll have to--”

“We do, and you’re right we don’t have anyone else,” Rhodey said. “Anyone left was sent to help at hospitals. Lots of missing doctors and a lot of casualties.”

“Right,” Bruce said. “I -- I want to be prepared.”

They were all hoping that a lot of medical assistance wouldn’t be needed, but none of them knew what had happened in space. Steve and Rhodey went with him to the medical wing but Thor stayed outside, looking up at the sky. Inside, Bruce prepared what he could. He was ready for anything.

It was almost an hour before Natasha and Pepper arrived.

“Thank you for the call,” Pepper said to Steve.

“Of course,” Steve said and hugged her. Her eyes looked rimmed red.

“I -- you said it was only Tony? I didn’t -- I didn’t want to ask over the phone…”

“He -- he was dusted,” Steve said. It was hard to get the words out and Pepper gasped and sobbed.

“No,” she said.

Steve gave a short nod. Pepper gripped his hand and the next few moments felt like they were going on and on forever.

When Friday alerted them to the quinjet coming in through the atmosphere, Steve felt both relieved and worried. He almost couldn’t believe it. They headed back outside and Steve had no idea how much time passed until the quinjet and the Benatar came into view and both ships landed just a little harder than necessary but unscathed.

Steve’s focus was on the alien ship and as the dust began to settle around it and the quinjet, the ship opened at the back. Steve rushed forward and he was the first to see Tony leaning on a blue alien woman but walking off the ship.

“Tony,” Steve said and Tony looked up. His brown eyes met Steve’s and his lips quirked up. Steve’s heart skipped a beat. Tony was home.
