You know I feel like maybe Jeff and Babe would have had a better chance escaping from Tony if they had moved more than a few streets away from Tony's mansion? Just a thought.
#they said I don't want anything to do with this evil man who is hunting me but also I will stay in his vicinity so he can easily find me#they probably run into each other at the grocery store#or they would if Tony went to grocery stores#which I don't think he does#pit babe the series

Started watching the Marvel and here are my thoughts
I got into Marvel because I’m a huge Norse Mythology geek and heard there was something in there about Thor & Loki. Decided to watch it and see how inaccurate it would be, because we all know that movies can never get mythology right. Basically, started for laughs, stayed because it was actually good despite the inaccuracies.
So far I’ve watched the Thor movies, the Avengers movies, and the Loki series. Loki is officially my favourite character, he is such a bitch and I’m here for it.
Here’s the thing.
I saw someone say in a post that they were disappointed that Loki and Peter (Spiderman) never met, because the friendship would be instantaneous. And I agree. But it did get me thinking.
Peter and Loki become friends, to everyone’s surprise. Peter starts off calling him “Mr. Loki”, but drops it almost instantly. Tony is, at first, very displeased, but decided to let it happen for a while. Peter takes Loki around the city, showing him everything, introducing him to meme culture and stuff like that. At some point they start talking about Loki’s age, and come to realise that, in human years, Loki is like 17. Peter is in awe, and tells Tony, who decides to just treat Loki as if he was one of Peter’s regular human friends and not a millennium-old God who tried to take over the world (he was tortured and manipulated in one way or another by Thanos, but I’ll get into that in another post). He ends up driving Loki and Peter around, taking them to the beach, buying them ice cream, taking them to the movies etc. and everyone lives happily ever after.
#Loki#marvel#thor 2011#thor the dark world#thor ragnarok#loki series#mcu loki#spider man#iron man#the avengers#Loki is not evil#he’s just misunderstood and traumatised#peter parker#tony stark#Peter is super wholesome

11.60 See No Evil
This is one of those episodes where they bring in completely new PCs for a particular plotline so they can deal with an issue without sullying the characters of their regulars. (As opposed to the soap era, where they sullied away to their wild abandon.) The most important part is the fact that the shirt Reg wears to Polly’s birthday party is the same hideous shirt worn by Hywel Simons in 10.77. Rude that we were made to see it twice.

It's weird to me that they don't put Way as one of Tony's victims 🧐 he was a pathetic idiot but he was a victim of trafficking just like the others. Putting Kenta and not Way in that category seems odd to me idk
this is a topic i have many feelings on but will speak carefully about because i'm pretty sure this was pit babe fandom discourse in january. it is odd to me as well but i understand where people are coming from (way DID try to rape his best friend).
there's an old post talking about this saying that it could also be because we don't actually SEE the impact of kenta's actions. we know how much way has hurt babe but we do not see how much damage kenta has had a hand in doing.
the series is also much more empathetic towards way than the novel so i think people who read the novel first might be influenced by how way is portrayed there which, fair, novel way is... something else lol. novel vs series way is something i can talk about for a loooong time because those changes are so interesting to me.
But yes. i understand both sides of it u_u there are fewer people who dislike way active in the fandom now though
#gaiaxyposting#pit babe#inbox#i am not a good person to talk about this to because i love my evil pathetic wife very much and have done extensive thinking about his char#cter#there is also the case of some people not really understanding why way couldnt have left tony like the others which is fair because the#series doesnt do a good job at showing this. the over-emphasis on his love for babe also doesnt help#i also notice (not pb fandom but in general) people sympathise more with charas who are victims of physical abuse than emotional abuse whic#is A WHOLE OTHER THING. but it is something 2 think about when it comes to way and kenta......

Cinnamon Rolls
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader
Summary: Steve has to decide which is the lesser of two evils: waking you up from your nap, or letting the cinnamon rolls in the oven burn.
Word count: 1,686
Content/warnings: fluff! Kissing, cooking, Steve being too perfect and sweet, tickling
A/N: hehehe, thanks to @thezombieprostitute for always indulging my thots and whims, especially regarding my love for cinnamon rolls and cinnamon roll-like men.
Comments, reblogs, and asks are especially appreciated!
Dividers by @mikeykuns
Main Masterlist
You looked over the back of the couch and towards the kitchen in the open living area of the cabin you and Steve were staying in for the weekend. Tony had insisted, of course, that the two of you take some time off and away from the city, which at this point, didn’t take much convincing, even for two people who worked themselves to the bone as much as you and Steve.
The past three weeks had been grueling, as you guided Steve and the rest of the Avengers through a mission in a South American city via coms. It was a series of sleepless nights and food rations, but worth it for the safety of the world. Both you and Steve were willing to pay that price, but afterwards, somehow Tony talked you into taking him up on his offer for alone time in his remote property upstate.
It was nice, but cold, which you would’ve complained about if you hadn’t had a personal heater in the form of your super soldier husband. The same man who was bent over the oven right now, sliding in a tray of something that he wasn’t letting you see. What you were happy to look at in the meantime, though, was that ass, somehow still so plump and prominent in a pair of flannel pajama pants that you’d hardly seen him take off since you’d gotten here. One of your favorite sights, that probably would be until the end of time, was Steve when he was relaxed and comfy. And you knew he loved to see you the same way, wearing a pair of old sweats and his Army hoodie that he’d gotten soon after joining this century.
The view earned him a cat call whistle, and when he stood and closed the oven door, you were sure the blush on his cheeks wasn’t just from the heat in the kitchen. It was nice how much you could still make him a little bashful after all this time.
You watched his eyes, full of amusement and affection as he rounded the corner of the couch to move towards where you were curled up in a blanket by the fire.
“You gonna tell me what you and those buns have got cooking, good looking?”
Steve let out a lighthearted chuckle and the corners of his eyes creased, still as beautiful as ever. He shrugged as he lifted the soft throw blanket and settled in against the armrest before gesturing for you to snuggle up to him.
“No way. It’s a surprise. You can guess once it’s done, though.”
You sighed as you laid a hand and your head on his chest, adjusting until you were comfortably laying with him, legs tangled. Steve reached for the book you had turned upside down on the coffee table to keep your page and looked over a few lines.
“The Hobbit, huh?”
You nodded, the rustling sound of his threadbare hoodie on your ear just covering his faint heartbeat.
“Yeah, Bucky lent it to me.”
Steve exhaled a laugh through his nose, a boyish grin rising on his face. “That’s the least he could do. Punk stole my copy back in the day, then gave it to some girl he never saw again after he was done.”
You smiled in response to the way he reminisced about the old days. You absolutely loved when Steve would bring up his childhood memories. They were so different from yours, yet so full of parallels. Kids will be kids, after all.
You put your chin on his chest to look up at him, met with sparkling blue eyes, reflecting the bright light that bounced off the snow outside the windows.
“Of course he did. He was a charmer, wasn’t he?”
Steve leaned down for a kiss as you stretched to meet him.
“For sure. Not as much as me, though, of course.”
You playfully rolled your eyes along with him. “Right, of course. I’m sure you were a real heartbreaker back in the day.”
Steve’s eyebrows lowered and the corners of his lips turned upward in a sarcastic smile. “Left and right.”
You placed a reverent kiss on his sternum before resettling yourself on his pec, squishier than usual from not having been to the gym in a few days. It was perfect.
You smiled to yourself. “Well, I’m glad those days are behind you.”
Steve brushed a hand up and down your back. “I’d never break your heart, you know, I’d rather work to fill it with love every day. Forever if I can.”
Steve always knew exactly what to say to have you blushing, too, even if it was unintentional. The words that spilled out of his mouth warmed you from the inside out with how sincere they always were. You patted his belly gently, “and I hope to do the same for you.”
Steve hummed before he held the book back up in his line of sight.
“Glad we’re on the same page. Speaking of which, you want me to read for you?”
You nodded again, tucking a hand up under his hoodie, warming your cold fingers against his abs. “Mmmhmmm.”
Steve cleared his throat and began, his voice a smooth, deep rumble conducted through his chest and across your body. It was one of the best sounds, one of the best feelings, to be curled up close to him and taken care of. Cherished.
The gentle cadence of his voice carried in the cozy air around the couch as your breaths began to even out. Steve sensed it as your body relaxed into his, fully softened in a light slumber. He finished the page he was on just to make sure you were fully out before marking where he stopped and placing your book back on the table. He continued lulling you to sleep gently, his blunt fingertips drawing circles between your shoulder blades. Steve basked in the sunshine of enjoyment that came from how safe he knew he made you feel.
He sat there for a second, satisfied with everything in his life. With you, everything hard he’d gone through before was worth it. Nothing could break the feeling of fullness in his heart.
And then he smelled it. The cinnamon rolls. How long ago had he put them in? He craned his neck to look at the timer on the stove. They were just past halfway done. And Steve would rather die than move you right now when you were so peaceful. He considered his options and pulled out his phone.
Tony, can you remotely turn off an oven up here?
No. What part of ‘everything’s off the network except whatever you bring up there’ did you not understand?
Steve sighed to himself. He thought Tony was joking. Could he actually have a place somewhere so disconnected? He knew there was at least a Wi-Fi router, but really? Nothing else? Tony Stark has changed.
Why? Doing something else that’s keeping you from the oven?😏
Yes. But not like that. Steve rolled his eyes and opened up a different text conversation.
Sam, can redwing open doors?
Yeah, but the door probably won’t close again. He’s got lasers. You need help?
Steve sighed again. That wouldn’t work either.
No, I’ll figure it out.
One more try. Maybe Bucky and Nat?
Hey. Either one of you close to Tony’s place in the mountains? I got a favor to ask.
No. We’re at dinner in the city. Why? Everything ok?
Steve bit his lip in contemplation.
Yeah. Nothing I can’t handle. Thanks anyway.
He locked his phone and set it on the coffee table next to your book, running a hand over his face. He could do this. Maybe he could carefully carry you to the kitchen, just to take them out, then go back to the couch? But would that disturb you too much?
Maybe he could stuff pillows into his spot and you wouldn’t even realize you were clinging to something else. Yeah. That could work.
He looked back over at the timer on the oven. It had just reached two minutes left. Okay, he was gonna do it. Just move carefully and quietly and quickly to hit the button so the timer didn’t startle you awake.
But it was too late. Before he could even move a muscle, you were stirring. Eyes still closed, your nose rose to the air, taking a deep breath of the scent that had permeated the cabin. A smile took over your face and your eyes finally fluttered open, landing on Steve. Your voice held a light rasp to it.
“Cinnamon rolls. My favorite.”
Steve nodded. “Uh huh.”
You shifted to straddle his waist, arms clinging around his torso. “Cinnamon rolls made by my favorite cinnamon roll.”
Steve laughed at the long running joke of what you always called him, moving to sit up, big hands holding you steady against him. He stood with your body wrapped around his and made it to the oven before the loud beeping started, shutting everything off and setting the tray on the counter.
“Of course, darling.”
He set you on the granite beside the stove, kissing your nose at your whine at the loss of his touch. He opened the fridge and pulled out a container of cream cheese icing he had made, setting it in your hands as he sifted through the drawers for a knife.
You took off the lid, swiping a finger through the frosting and sucking it off with a moan.
“Dang, that’s good.”
You scooped up another bit, holding it out for Steve, but when he opened his mouth, you booped it onto his nose. With a giggle, you went to kiss it off but Steve was too quick, whisking you away back to the couch.
“Ohhh, you’re gonna get it.”
Before you knew it, you were kicking and laughing so hard that your stomach hurt, surrounded in a world of love and warmth with your husband. Even though this was a short trip, every day with him felt like this on the inside.
Bonus A/N: ohhhh sweet Steeb. Gimme this cinnamon roll🥺

Ok so let me get this straight.
Marvel Comics had Doctor Doom take over the world and implement a series of popular, really effective leftist policies on a global scale.
Like everyone focuses on the US getting free healthcare how about all the african counties who just got "plows, dams, drills, fertilizer etc etc"?
As this happens we find out that Doom has also murdered every single high ranking Nazi in the world, and replaced one of them with a Doombot so he can use it to rehabilitate Hydra out of being Nazis and into building, like, fucking hospitals or something.
Ok you're following me till now right?
Why the fuck did Marvel Comics decide to have the BRIGHT IDEA of writing, in THIS ORDER:
A) Tony Stark crying histrionics over all these dead nazis and the sanctity of human life.
B) Tony Stark decide to tell the world Doom actually did the heinous crime of "killed red skull and all the other nazis while riding a T-Rex," knowing full well that's gona get all the not yet reformed Hydra soldiers currently engaged in BUILDING HOSPITALS IN MINORITY COMMUNITIES in a rage, cause an escalation in Hate Crimes.
C) Have any member of the broader public being glad Doom killed the fucking nazis be depicted as naive or misguided in some real "Copaganda show special episode about Luigi Mangione" way.
D) and After ALL OF THAT, and I wish I was joking, have Tony Stark start ARMING AND FUNDING literal NAZIS to act as Contras fighting against Doom's heinous policies of free healthcare, free education, and no genocide.
I repeat.
As of right now, in marvel comics, the designated villain of the current mega arc pushing for popular American and worldwide leftist policies fighting against a tech billionaire actively funding and arming literal fucking in universe NAZIS to dethrone him.
Next up they (EDIT: By they I mean Tony Stark and the other heroes) are literally about to team up with the Masters of Evil, among their Members being MODOK, which not many people may know was one of the people responsible for the recent Mutant Genocide.
This is either the most blatant and heinous piece of american propaganda known to man or one of the most unintentional critique of American Foreign Policy when any leftist takes power anywhere and threatens their bottom line.
Maybe both.
Anyway Tony Stark is working with Nazis so he can take away people healthcare now in the comics, right in the middle of this political environment, send post.

I was reading over this prenup article about some of the crazy clauses celebrities have put in their contracts, and I just keep thinking: at least your mob guys probably had fun things written up. Whoever this Tony Romo guy is sounds cartoonishly evil.
Soft!Mob Bucky's prenup is full of frisky, amusing, very unenforceable clauses.
The assets part of the prenup was easy for him to negotiate because this man has no intentions of ever leaving her. She gets the gallery, 175K a month for the rest of her life plus all her expenses paid. She gets the primary house. His remaining properties go to any children they might have and will remain in her name until they are of age.
Some of the prenup details that he was concerned about:
->He wants to be kissed in the morning, every morning or you have to pay up (an inside joke from your dating days)
->You're not allowed to sleep apart after fights, they can make up in the morning but no one will be sleeping in the guest room.
->He has full control of your lingerie and you must model every new set for him.
->You have to spend an acceptable amount of his money at least once a month.
->You have to accept his gifts.
->He requires his face to be sat on at least twice a week. He will do that thing with his tongue.
->Weekly body worship sessions. Preferably in front of the mirror. On the yacht or in the penthouse.
->Vacations are mandatory. You can pick the location, he'll handle the rest.
->Date nights are mandatory. See above.
->Wearing the gold bracelet to bed means he's allowed to wake you any way he wants.
->Wearing his shirt around the house, means he's allowed to take you whenever, however he wants.
Mafia!Ari (from the innocent bride series)
->The ring stays on.
->There will not be a divorce.
#Dark!Mafia Lloyd would probably have that Romo clause like the jackass he is.#bucky barnes x reader#bucky barnes x black!reader#mafia!bucky barnes x reader#ari levinson x reader#mafia!ari levinson

Writing Notes: Antihero
An antihero - a central character who lacks the characteristics an audience associates with a conventional hero.
They are ambiguous protagonists—complex characters who have a dark side.
Despite a flawed exterior, a history of bad decisions, and even a questionable moral code, an antihero is ultimately guided by good intentions.
Tips for Writing an Antihero
Despite their flaws, antiheroes are realistic characters that readers can relate to. Here are four tips for creating a great antihero for your story:
Create a main character who is complex. Think of how you would write a traditional hero. Create your antihero by giving them the opposite attributes. If a hero is an idealist, your antihero is a cynic. Make them mysterious so their character is revealed bit by bit. A great antihero has flaws just like a real person. But despite an antihero’s weaknesses, their good side is illuminated as the story progresses. These contrasting qualities make an antihero more complex and interesting.
Give your antihero internal conflict. Every great antihero has an internal struggle driving their actions. Before you begin writing, sit down and flesh out the character. What event is the source of their internal struggle that informs their behavior in the story? As you write, slowly reveal your antihero’s backstory to let readers know what makes them tick.
Don’t confuse your antihero with the antagonist. For the antiheroes with misguided morals, the ends justify the means. They can explain away the bad things they do if the result is ultimately good and they emerge a hero. When writing an antihero, you can bring them to the edge of evil, but they’re never as evil as the true villain of your story. Unlike an antagonist, an antihero ultimately believes they are acting for a noble cause. Some characters, like the DC Comics character Harley Quinn, alternate between being an antihero and an antagonist, depending on the context.
Use supporting characters. In the TV show The Sopranos, antihero Tony Soprano had his therapist, who showed Tony’s vulnerability and made the audience have a soft spot for a guy who ordered a hit as easily as he ate a bowl of pasta. Create a side character who can illuminate your antihero’s redeeming qualities. The best antiheroes are the ones readers can’t believe they’re rooting for.
Types of Antiheroes
Think about the rough-around-the-edges antihero Han Solo compared to the traditionally heroic Luke Skywalker. Antiheroes go against the grain and are often social outcasts who operate by their own rules. Here are different antihero archetypes found in fiction:
The pragmatic rebel: The pragmatic antihero is a realist. They might associate with both good guys and bad guys and take whatever action they deem necessary to accomplish their mission. Their morals are, for the most part, good, but they won’t hesitate to do what’s needed to be heroic—even if that means taking out a few bad guys. They won’t intentionally cross a line unless it’s for the greater good, and they may still follow the steps of the hero’s journey.
The unscrupulous antihero: This is the antihero whose morals fall into a grey zone. They have good intentions but are driven more out of self-interest rather than the greater good. They can be cynical and have a jaded view of the world. Their actions are often dictated by past traumas and inner conflict, revealed through their backstory. They don’t think twice about how they achieve their goal and who they need to push out of their way, and they sometimes even enjoy the dark side. Annaliese Keating, the antihero played by Viola Davis at the heart of the show How to Get Away With Murder, is cutthroat and morally compromised, but her motives begin to make sense as the audience gets a deeper look into her inner life.
A hero by any means necessary: The titular antihero protagonist of the television series Dexter (as well as the novel it’s based on, Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay), borders on being a villain. Antiheroes like Dexter Morgan justify their behavior because it results in something that benefits society, even though their actions are questionable—and sometimes even psychotic. For example, Dexter might have good intentions as a vigilante serial killer of other killers, but his deeds are those normally associated with an antagonist.
Example: Walter White
Walter White is the main character of the TV series Breaking Bad.
As a man dying of cancer, White begins to make and sell methamphetamine to save money to support his family after his death.
As the series progresses, Walter White’s character arc is dramatic as he moves through the ranks of antihero archetypes, crossing every moral line and almost assuming the role of villain.
Told from any other point of view, Walter White would be the antagonist of this series but instead he is an antihero.
