Note

B, F, I, J, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z for Kidou please! :p

B: Benefits - Any perks of him/her dating you?

- I will be a realist here. You will become super smart and your confidence will boost upon the max. You will always receive compliments about your looks, you will always get that positive energy from him and you will finally realize that your existence matters and you will finally accept your looks and love yourself. Even the most insecure people will finally break from the chains and feel free if they spend time with him. Even the slightest flaw of yours will be counted as a treasure for Kidou. He will never dare to talk about your insecurities, but will make you forget that they exist and accept them as an art and he will indicate only your beauty. You will feel loved, supported and protected.

F: Fur/feathers - What kind of animals will they give you? Or do they like animals?

- He is not an animal person, because he kinda feels uneasy with an animal in the house. Of course he will not mind if you have some kind of a nuisance to take care in the house if you desire. He can buy you both birds and animals. He always thought cats are disgusting and he prefers to have a small dog, since big dogs kinda worry him and he feels like they will leap and tear you apart at any moment. Its most likely of him to buy a small dog or just a simple talking parrot. He will pay attention to the color and chose wisely, but will trust the whole care to you, since he is actually not experienced in taking care of animals.

I: Intimacy - Will they rush with sex?

- Nope, not at all. He actually forgets that intercourse exists due to his work and other stuff he has to do. Even so... his respect towards women is so powerful that he even won't dare to touch you if you feel uncomfortable. He will even turn around when you dress up. If you alone desire to do the thing with him, he will gladly accept you, but keep in mind that he actually wants his first time to be with the girl he will marry.

J: Jokes - Can they make you laugh hard?

- He will make you laugh when he narrates stories in which Endou took part. He will comprehensively describe everything that happened and you will laugh out loud when you hear the things they did. He will even narrate the whole practice if it had something funny. He will also expose to you all his nicknames and you will not resist it. He describes only the people's dumb actions when it comes to making you laugh.

S: Scent - What is their scent? Do they like yours?

- His scent has been the same since he is a kid - a strong ass cologne, even after and before practice. He only uses that, and manages to slap everyone with the huge fist of pheromones, nothing else in addition-

About your scent, he will adore yours, it will be his drug and eternal desire. He only wishes to get back from work/school and breathe in deep your fresh scent and finally relax, restart his mind and take a small rest until he begins his work again. Every time he smells you, he is finally back to normal and restores his sanity, all his worries fade and his negative emotions as well. You are his solace.

T: Tenderness - Do they get offended easily? Are they way too frail or vulnerable towards your words?

- He is really. You are his treasure and you can offend him easily. Though he will not show it externally, internally he will cry and writhe. He really gets offended and all of his negative thoughts come back, that he is not enough, that you don't deserve him, that you need someone better, that he is nothing, that everything he does is in vain, you want to ditch him and etc. He is just really vulnerable and you should be careful.

U: Utopia - Are they the perfect soulmate? Is life with them flawless?

- 👀yep. I mean, he is respectful, caring, loyal and you read the first answer. The only flaw you will have is the distance towards each other. Kidou will be submerged with so much stuff to do even in his free time, due to his strict foster father. You will not talk with days, because he will always work and focus more and that. He will sure call you to check if you are doing okay and to tell you how are things going with him and thats it. This however will not separate you. He cares a lot about your relationship and he will try his best to meet up with you and spend at least some little time with you, because while he works he thinks of you non stop.

V: Voice - How do they speak to you?

- He speaks to you how he speaks to a formal meeting. He will always try to keep calm and hold a normal conversation with you. He will raise his tone only a bit when he is nervous, but will never shout at you. That is why conversations are always calm with him. He is so chill and collected that its almost impossible not to stop and just thank him for that attitude he has.

W: Weakness - Do they have any weaknesses towards you?

- Aha, that is tricky here. If you stare in his eyes deeply and narrow yours only slightly to make that 'seductive' look, and only smirk a bit, he is done. Like, you conquered his body and he cannot resist you at any cost. His legs will shake and he will start sweating, because this is his standard of sexy. If you come closer to him he will receive a heat stroke, and if you touch him his intestines will melt. You are just attractive and appealing to him in every shit kind of way, like he is so in love that even one blink will make him collapse.

X: (Ex)citement - Do they get excited for the smallest things with you?

- He does, only that he will not jump around like a kid. He will most likely watch you jump and scream, which will warm his heart. He will submerge you with hugs and kisses, saying how brave and clever you are, pointing out how much he is proud and loves you. He will watch you all day long being so happy and jumpy and he will just sit there, smile and praise himself for what an amazing and unique soul mate you are.

Y: Youth - Are they acting childish to cheer you up? Or are they serious and speculate a lot on that?

- He is more of the serious type. He knows that childish plays will not fascinate you, so he will try to speculate things perfectly before talking to you about your problems and all the things that actually burden and depress you. This topic and situation is taken way too seriously by him, because he himself has suffered and he wants to prevent you from all these things as well. He will first try his best to find the source of the problem. If he cannot remove it, he will always hold you close and try his best to protect you and help you with everything until you recover. He will never leave you, never.

Z: Zzz - Are they a heavy sleeper? How do they sleep? Do they like to wake you up?

- He is a light sleeper, but this never bothered him, since he falls asleep fast. He is so effing silent and still that you will constantly check if he is alive. He only breathes in his sleep, no snoring or bothering sounds at all. Both of you will be so quiet like oof. He will rather watch your beautiful face in its sleep than waking you up and causing a disturb. He will caress your cheeks and remove excess hair from your face, smiling at your beauty and falling again asleep.

Hope you liked them.

Thanks for the ask! Feel free to ask me again. Stay healthy ❤

my "unkillable" quirk oc's hero name (villain? just for fun civillian name?) would absolutely be "Casualty"

a lil joke based on their casual view on death and well. death

dunno if theyd be a hero, villain, or civillian! theyre all pretty fun to explore. a vigilante would also be cool but i dont think theyd be a super morally upstanding one. definitely theyd kill a villain to restrain them bc "theyre totally fine! yeah, they're definitely dead, officer, but theyll walk it off in a few hours so it's no big!"

okay actually..thatd be a fun universe 🤔

hold on lemme just. type out loud here

Casualty: The Undying Hero! (or is it the other way around? idk how hero titles work) their wounds heal faster than most and if they “rejuvenate” you (crowdsourced name), one quick nap later you'll be good as new! (bc they also heal faster when out though not as fast as them) they will only "rejuvenate" people who have given their full consent or there is no other option (heros they work with sign contracts that give the okay and for what circumstances)(civillians give spoken consent and can request a full contract at their agency if theyre frequent fliers)

casualty decides case by case what the best course of action would be because, unfortunately, they do come across several suicidal heros and civillians alike that just want to know what its like to die. they have several connections with mental health professionals!

like eraserhead, casualty's quirk doesnt give way to much combat ability (pretty good for defense tho is still hesitant to kill someone. villain or not. some ppl can get addicted to the feeling) they compensate during fights with support tools! this isnt something ive thought about so idk what kind of fighting style theyd gear themselves towards but i think id like something pretty versatile.

also kinda looking for the secret to their death since yeah their own body can kill them but they dont really get sick and, while not immortal, they'll likely outlive everyone of their generation

Casualty: The Killer Villain! (do villains even have titles like this lol?) just THINK of the way torture would go! they can drive right up that edge and when they push a little harder and you come out the otherside unscathed you still arent safe bc youre under their whim! not a big bad with huge showy villainous actions but arguably much worse than those who make headlines.

more of an information broker! theyre the one u go to if u wanna make someone break. also takes "assassination" jobs (the PERFECT person to help you fake your death. deals identities like cards) not much in the way of morals and will give you a quick death fix but mostly to get you off their back (thinks ppl who wanna die are pretty disgusting and they revel entirely in their longlasting life. slow and steady, babey) has people contracted to kill others for them.

definitely looking for someone able to kill them. it's a big daring exciting joke to them! fellow villains will make attempts and theyll critique their effort later. also they make a very good partner for ppl trying to test out how much a new move would hurt (other villains come to these spars and time how long casualty stays down. theres a leader board for the longest time down bc it means their move was incredibly violent)

Casualty: A Name as Feared as it is Revered! (okay this one is just for fun) being able to kill but it not sticking is PERFECT for them in their mind. in this universe they couldnt think of another path being better for them (because of their black and white view of “heros save” and “villains kill” and that their quirk fits neither. not really)

theyve got a hit on them from everyone and it makes their days exciting! they compliment the more creative attempts and will drop by the place of person who killed them and leave a sticky note with a full review lol. as mentioned above, kills as a way to restrain! it's to the point where it's so common that whenever it's mentioned that they were involved w a crime a special crew comes to take care of it (you gotta be trained to compartmentalize seeing so many dead ppl that wake up kicking. it does smthn to ya)

theyll target everyone alike! heros, villains, civillians! it doesn't matter youre all ripe for the pickin! theyve got ins with a wide range of ppl and if they cant deal with them personally theyll follow what they see as the best course of action. some people deserve to be publically demolished by a hero, some deserve the horror of a villain, and some deserve the cold hand of civillian law. theyve got a little (major) god complex and believe they have the right to be the judge jury and executioner (in spirit lol) obviously this mindset isnt well received by the public (coughstainchough) but unfortunately they make good judgement calls and they usually dont get the final say in what happens to someone anyway (unless they kill the person and that person learns their lesson or whatever)

does however have a personal vendetta of reforming systems and being very against the pissing contest that are hero rankings. this occasionally makes their judgement calls biased.

the most consistent things would be:

connections. lots of them and the types of connections depend on what path theyre on. theyre good at talking

outside support in the form of weapons or people to "finish the job"

general belief that their choice is more than likely the right choice

loose morals. comes with the territory of a death based quirk

controversial in any universe (except maybe a bonus one where they claim their quirk is not being able to die and not also not being able to kill? that universe would be steeped in self hate and either a bitter death or a life dedicated to putting a mental health support system in place for people with "villainous" quirks)(actually their quirk would still be controversial bc thats the point lol)

permanent casual view on death. doesnt see the big deal

very hm. unconnected to living? sure theyre just excited to be here! but they have the most solid grasp on the inevitability of death while also not super getting that when someone dies they get to stay dead? theres also the tiniest bit of envy there

probably either never got the death talk or got it very late. no one knows how many kids were at risk while being friends with them while young bc they wouldnt put the effort into saving them from life threatening situations (bc casualty always got back up, why wouldnt anyone else)

(bonus story for above would be that once while they were a kid a friend fell off a tree and hit the ground in front of them and they just walked away to keep playing then they came back later and the friend was still there so they went to either their own parent or the kid's parents and told them "[name] is taking a long time to get back up, i wanna play again." queue the sad ending here im aiming for)

upbeat sometimes in a near manic way. genuinely happy really often and finds joy in the smallest things like a slug in the grass or a wildflower coming out of the sidewalk (life in all kinds of places in all kinds of ways!)(theyre big fans of mushrooms. in death theres life or life gives way to life or whatever. idk it's fake deep. i just think mushrooms are cool and wanna project)

anyway this is like. long as shit lol! is anyone even reading this? i love you if you are. i might try to take this character and bend it to fit some of my own worlds bc wow i think theyre cool BUT if any bnha fans ARE reading this please feel free to include them in fics or stuff if you want! link me if you do id literally fall in love (u can name them what u want, dress them how you want, give them whatever pronouns you want, etc.)(dont claim them ofc but using them is fine!)

(and if you want me to idk... flesh out a character for you? 😳 lol id be very open to that! i love worldbuilding!! you dont have to.. aha... unless..?😳😳)

#bnha posting #death ment #child death ment #<<(it's the nine bullet point if you wanna skip)#this is. so self indulgent of me

Avengers:Endgame Thoughts !!SPOILERS!!

Just some random thoughts and questions and such about the movie. There are spoilers so…don’t read if you haven’t seen it and care about spoilers. I tried to organize it a bit but we all know that’s impossible.

Okay so..I’m not the biggest fan of the Russo Brothers and what they have done with their Marvel films. There have been some improvements, and some things that just can’t be helped and I just want to make that known first. I don’t really hate any of the films they made, they are definitely enjoyable, and fun, have great moments.

I’ve been a bit critical about how they used some of the big storylines from the comics in the films, because they never felt the same (they never can honestly, comic books and films are different formats, different ways of storytelling) but this honestly is the closest to the annuals. This is the closest to waiting an entire year after reading comics each month, to the big huge event. It feels as big as those. Civil War didn’t to me, Age of Ultron didn’t, Infinity War kinda, but this. This felt huge. Especially when actually watching it.

This is a huge fanservice film. You could probably enjoy it without any prior knowledge, or without seeing all the other films, but god, it’s better if you do. Soooo many little throwbacks and easter eggs and payoffs from the earliest films and the comics. So I highly suggest the other films, I think every single one film has some sort of tribute in this one. (I’m making a list of references and such so I’ll see)

So one of my biggest gripes out of the way…the Joe Russo cameo. It completely pulled me out of the film. The scene itself could’ve been a nice little thing to see what Steve has been up to during those five years but…just watching and listening to what was mostly Joe Russo talking and inserting himself into the universe…eh :/ It’s not like a Stan Lee cameo, he didn’t have a hand in creating these characters and we don’t owe the Russo Brothers as much as we owe Lee and Kirby and Simon and Ditko and Bendis, etc. I think his cameo in Civil War and Winter Soldier was better, he barely talked in WS and not at all in CW, was barely on screen, it was fine. I just felt it was a little too much… His cameo was longer than Stan’s.

Also that was their way of making the “first openly gay character in a Marvel movie.” they even said that, “We felt it was important that one of us play him, to ensure the integrity and show it is so important to the filmmakers that one of us is representing that.” which...is really a cop out I feel. That LGBTQ representation, the smallest line of being on a date, could’ve easily gone to Valkyrie/Brunnhilde’s character, seeing as Tessa Thompson says her character is queer and played her that way (take one look at Tessa’s or Brie Larson’s twitter or some interviews, it isn’t hard to see they support it), and Tessa is actually Bisexual in real life. But whatever I guess...

Though it was definitely funnier than the other movies the Russo’s have done, and DEFINITELY prettier. I’ve had a big issue with the color grading and scene composition in the Russo’s movies. Say what you will, Joss Whedon knew how to make a comic splash page translate to screen, but the Russo’s did...the airport fight scene. The scene’s in their films that did have great composition were pulled straight from the comics (like Steve Vs. Tony, Shield vs. Repulsors) Okay. But, in Endgame it definitely looks better. There are memorable scenes. There are shots that I thought...okay thats art. The end battle had some shots, like Thanos in the foreground pointing his sword, and his army behind him. When Tony was looking out of the Benatar and saw the glowing light that is Captain Marvel. When Okoye, T’Challa, and Shuri walk out of the portal to the final battle, it’s a bit hazy, almost dream like, gives the feeling of Steve seeing them and not knowing whether this was real or not. The colors still look a bit dull in some scenes, but at this point it seems like the Russo’s are resigned to gray and mud and mess to get that gritty “realistic” vibe that for some reason is what people want and not the escapism, fantasy, cosmic stories that comics can be.

I did really like the small nods towards how relationships formed or degraded throughout time, or how people changed, especially during the five years we didn’t see. We got a little nod towards Carol and Rhodey’s relationship from the comics with…a nod and a good luck and a lingering look. Natasha calls Rocket fluffball, I think it was, and says she gets e-mails from him. Bruce and Natasha are on some sort of not dating but close friends terms after hardly interacting in Infinity War. Definitely acknowledging Age of Ultron and not just making it a joke and trying to push it aside. Nebula and Rocket seem to have gotten closer, probably due to all of their friends dusting. Rocket and Bruce seem to be on some level of friendship, or at least acknowledge each others connection to Thor. Okoye calling Natasha, Nat. Carol has been coming to earth somewhat regularly. Tony and Nebula playing the paper football game, her giving him the food even when he offered it to her, (It reminded me of the blueberry bit in the first Avengers) working together to try and get somewhere. TONY AND MORGAN!! He raised a whole five year old kid. He definitely seems like a stay at home dad, especially since Pep is the CEO of Stark Industries.

It’s really nice (and sad) to see how some people’s lives moved forward. How people tried to move on, how all these different personalities coped with the loss. Seeing Cassie has aged was definitely a favorite. Cassie has thought her dad was dead for five years, and for Scott he was only gone for five hours, but he comes back to his little girl as a teenager. At the end, when we see them together with Hope, we know that Scott now has to go forward knowing he missed five years of his daughter’s life, and is probably going to try and make the most of it. Maybe that means giving up Ant-Man, or having her join in (we need Stature, I mean come on, we need another young avenger). But it was nice to see that time didn’t just stand still until the Avengers found a fix. It kept moving forward.

I wish we would’ve gotten a bit more of Wakanda/Wakandans. Okoye was still alive, and I think M’Baku survived the Snap as well, but I don’t think we saw him until the final battle. We only got a couple glimpses of Wakanda. Which I guess makes sense because with both T’Challa and Shuri gone, Wakanda needed leadership (though I’m unsure as to whether Ramonda dusted as well), but it would’ve been nice for Okoye to maybe be a little involved in the efforts to get the stone, especially considering Wakanda is so advanced. Even without Shuri there could’ve been something they could contribute. T’Challa really had like one or two lines basically but okay.

I sorta didn’t like Thanos dusting away. I was a bit off put at the beginning when Thor cut of his head because to me, that was Nebula or Gamora’s kill (though seeing as both Gamora and Nebula seemed somewhat sad after seeing him die (Gamora after she seemed to kill him in IW and Nebula after Thor went for the head) MCU Gamora and Nebula might not want to do that). I understand it though, Thor was angry. At the end I was hoping that Thanos wouldn’t dust so we could get that kill, and sort of mirror Tony’s fear of being the only survivor, but… I guess it’s the writer’s poetic justice. It’s not bad, but I just kinda hoped they would go a different way with it.

I love when the music cuts out and Quill is just dancing and singing to himself. “So he’s an idiot”.

“I bet the raccoon didn’t have to climb a mountain.” “Technically he’s not a raccoon you know?” “oh whatever he eats garbage.” Are they talking about Rocket...or...Thor?

That girl power scene? We love it. “Don’t worry” “She’s got help.”

I love how they pass around Tony’s Gauntlet like a football, trying to get it to the van. But when Peter had it and was thrown to the ground and was curled up clutching it, I was so prepared to cry.

Same with Rocket trying to protect Groot.

No vision. I didn’t really find myself even thinking of him all that much during the film. We got a line or two but that’s about it. It makes me wonder about the ‘WandaVision’ show and whether that title was just to throw people off, or if he is going to be in it.

I’d be really interested in seeing more of what happened during those 5 years. Maybe I just want to see more of Tony as a dad? Maybe… But to see how everyone tries to move forward. Like what does Cassie do? Did her mom and step-dad dust to? Was she alone? Did the Avengers check on her? I think Bruce mentions he spent 18 months in a Gamma Lab. I would love to see how he came to terms with Hulk. I would love to see how the Asgardian’s settled. Etc. I think there are some interesting stories there, maybe for future shows or comics or stories.

CAROL DANVERS / CAPTAIN MARVEL

I love that Carol Danvers had a small moment/lingering shot when they were looking at everyone who dusted and she saw Nick Fury. Another little nod towards a relationship without being overt and having her mention to characters how Nick Fury was a close friend. I mean that was the reason why they came out with the Captain Marvel movie before this. So the audience members who saw both would understand Carol’s role, powers, motives, and relationships before so they wouldn’t have to squeeze it all into this movie.

I also forgot that Captain Marvel was even in this movie after the last time they showed her in the beginning because I was so wrapped up in everything else, so when she showed up at the end I was genuinely surprised and excited! They really hyped her up to be the most powerful hero, but didn’t overuse her or make her OP at all. They gave everyone else their time knowing that she has the future MCU ahead of her. I think they spent a good amount of time on the original avengers as this really was their send off, knowing the rest of the characters have future films/shows to shine in. (Which kind of makes me forgive the lack of Wakanda..but still…)

The look on Thanos’ face when Carol showed up, amazing. Her exchange with Peter? Pure and beautiful. And that little *dink* when he tries to headbutt her? Pure comedy.

Thanos pulling the power stone out of the gauntlet to use against Carol was...forgive me...a power move.

THOR ODINSON & LOKI LAUFEYSON

I know a lot of people think Thor’s mental health/PTSD was just played as a joke, but I don’t think it was. I mean there have been times they tried to sweep Tony’s mental health under the rug and times where (maybe just the fandom) treated Tony as a villain for how it showed itself.

Thor didn’t want to think about it. Thor was done. He wanted to drink and forget. He didn’t want people to talk about Thanos, or Loki, or anything that happened. He made a new home for all the Asgardians and then retreated into himself. When we first see him, Bruce stops and asks Thor if he’s okay and tells him that he was in a similar dark spot as well and that Thor was the one who helped him out. It’s a sweet moment, yeah it’s sandwiched by some jokes, but it's there. As is the moment when Thor talks to his mother for the last time. Frigga gives him piece of mind. Let’s him know that she knows what her fate is, that it isn’t his fault, which is one weight off his shoulder. She lets him know that he doesn’t need to be whatever he thinks he needs to be, just to be who he is. He doesn’t need to be an Asgardian King, or whatever else his father wanted, if that's not what Thor wants. Being himself is enough to be worthy. So he fights that final fight (completely okay in the fact that Steve is worthy as well, even saying he knew it! So he must’ve knew Steve was pretending not to be able to pick it up all the way in AOU), he makes Valkyrie/Brunnhilde King/Queen of Asgard, and he goes with the Guardians, because that's where he wants to be. He’s not being who he is supposed to be, but who he is. Which seems to be someone who wants to have fun and save people who need saving. Which I think is a nice mirror to Chris Hemsworth’s relationship to playing the character. He said that he prefers the fun, comedic Thor that Taika made with Ragnarok, and doesn’t as much like playing the uber serious Thor from previous films. He even said he’d be open to more Thor movies if Taika Waititi was directing.

While I hope we see Thor in Guardians Vol.3, and his story didn’t feel as final as Steve and Tony’s did, he did come full circle. From fighting tooth and nail to be a worthy king, to finally accepting who he truly is and being comfortable with accepting that. Sort of mirroring Loki.

Speaking of Loki...His scenes in this movie were definitely more humorous than anything. I know people wanted a better end for him. I’ll be honest, I liked his end in Infinity War (though I did believe he might still be alive because he didn’t revert back to his Jotun form when he died in IW). But for all the same reasons as Thor. He started feeling tremendous envy and hate for his brother and father, felt the need to prove himself, though he took a very different route than Thor, he got to a point where he accepted who he truly was. A Jotun, and an Odinson, Thor’s brother, Prince of Asgard. So to me, yeah it would be nice to see a different ending for Loki, (if they do bring him back I feel they either can’t kill him or have to kill him for real), I’m content with his entire arc.

BRUCE BANNER / HULK

Bruce has finally come full circle as well. He started off wanting to actually kill himself because of the Hulk, but now he has found the ‘Professor Hulk’ middle ground. He even says he sees it as an ‘evolution’ (X-Men reference/hint maybe??). After Ragnarok and Infinity War, something during those five years lead both Hulk and Bruce to accept each other. Just imagine how happy Hulk was when those kids came up asking for a photo. It’s no longer “Earth hates Hulk”. Hulk is a hero, he has fans! Young kids who aren’t scared. Bruce doesn’t have to be scared of running rampant and out of control and hurting innocent people. He doesn’t need to be locked in a cage. He can be completely who he is without holding back.

Bruce admitting that he tried to bring back Natasha with his Snap…oof.

NATASHA ROMANOFF / NATALIE RUSHMAN/ BLACK WIDOW & CLINT BARTON / HAWKEYE / RONIN

I actually really liked the beginning and how they handled Hawkeye’s story. Him helping Lila with her Archery and her walking out of frame, then when it cuts back to where she should’ve been only some dust particles in the air? Amazing, show not tell. We didn’t need to actively see Clint’s family dust away (honestly it makes it sadder that he didn’t see it either, didn’t know what happened, they were just gone). And we didn’t need a scene of him talking about it. We just got into it. The Ronin story isn’t my favorite but I’m glad too much time wasn’t spent on it and only the parts that mattered were addressed. That his family is gone and he’s angry. Natasha still cares about him deeply and has been looking for him.

Also..who puts mayo on a hot dog?

Natasha and Clint’s relationship is one that I really like. It’s this pure friendship and salvation from the beginning. Clint was the one who made the call to not kill her, but rather show her a different path. In Endgame, Natasha does the exact same for Clint. She takes him from being a ruthless assassin, angry at the world, to fighting for the good guys again. They are family. She is Aunt Nat to his kids, friends with his wife. She knows about his family and ‘secret’ life when no other Avengers did. It’s because of him (and Nick Fury) that she has a family not only in them, but the rest of the Avengers. But it just makes stories like Infinity War/Endgame and Civil War sadder for her because, almost all the other Avengers have a life outside of the team, and have families to go to, but not her. So when they break up, and aren’t talking, she is left alone. No wonder she stays at the compound. When Rhodey is telling her about Clint and she starts crying, it’s so sad, because he was her family and he just left.

Natasha and Clint literally fighting over who gets to sacrifice themself? Big oof. Natasha really makes me like Clint’s character in the films. And as much as I love the “refund theory” of Steve returning the soul stone to Vormir and getting Natasha back, and I would love a better send off (like with Thor) I think her story has really come full circle.

One of the biggest themes I noticed in her arc throughout the films is choice. When she was in the Red Room, she had no choice but to do what she was told, because of what happened there she doesn’t get the choice of having children or not. In Winter Soldier she felt like she felt like the choice of fighting for the ‘good’ guys was an illusion. Etc. But here is the biggest choice she can make, and she decided that she’d rather die so everyone else, everyone she cares about, can have a chance. She wasn’t going to let someone else make that choice for her. She did it despite Clint’s protest. She finally found something, someone she chose to die for. And the imagery of her on the ground not only mirrors her position in Tony’s vision from AOU, but the pool of blood draining from her is almost literally her getting the red out of her ledger like she mentions she wants to do in Avengers. “I’ve got red on my ledger. Now I need to wipe it out.” She has finally atoned for all the bad she has done.

I know she didn’t get a funeral scene or a big send off, but I think that was as to not overshadow or take away from Tony’s. Which is sad. Maybe we will get a better send off in a different film or show. We did get those lines from Clint and Wanda about hoping she knew that they did it, that her sacrifice wasn’t for nothing. Which is small, but it is the person who cared about her the most.

Also...did no one tell Clint and Natasha that they would need to sacrifice someone to get the stone? Surely Nebula knew...

STEVEN ROGERS / CAPTAIN AMERICA

“I can do this all day.” “Yeah, I know.” Even Steve is tired of himself.

Scott: “That’s America’s Ass.”

Steve, later, looking at his own ass on a past version of himself: “That is America’s Ass.”

My mind immediately when we heard Sam’s voice over Steve’s comm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB1D9wWxd2w

Also on that note... I absolutely love that Sam was the one that Steve choose to carry on Captain America’s legacy. In the comics both Sam and Bucky take up the mantle and I was sincerely hoping Bucky wouldn’t in the films. At least not at first. Bucky has so much interesting story to explore from when he was the Winter Soldier and still has so much healing to do from not only that time, but everything he was thrust back into when he was still settling in Wakanda..and being dusted. In the films, Sam is perfect to be the Captain America of modern times. He knows how the modern world works, he’s been in the military, dealt with war (both earthly threats and extra terrestrial), and I feel he’s emotionally/mentally stable enough for it. Hell he ran a veteran support group which inspired Steve to run a support group for survivors during the five years after the snap. Also, I don’t think I need to get into why having a Black/African-American Captain America in these times is amazing. I would love to see him in a movie, but if we get a live action show on the Disney+ streaming service, I think that would be great.

When they showed someone sitting on the bench, I was like okay that’s Steve. But how skinny and small he looked I thought it was going to be Pre-Serum Steve...but no, we got old man Steve. Which surprised me, it shouldn’t have but it did, because when he left and they couldn’t bring him back I leaned over to my sister and said “he stayed in the ‘40s”. But I had like 1000 thoughts running through my head every second of this movie. (except when the theater fell silent when Tony...ya know) It sorta reminded me of Logan for a hot second...

I’ve seen some people say, "It's not in character for Steve to live a life and not fight".

Every single movie has been building to Steve getting more and more tired of fighting. First he sacrifices himself for everyone else. Then he is woken up to fight in a war, and a world, he barely knows anything about, and starts seeing that privacy and freedom might not mean the same things they use to. That the governments meant to protect the people have even more secrets and lies, and are becoming more violent and ruthless. His whole vision sequence (and basically entire arc) in AOU was about how he needs war and to fight but how he doesn’t want that to be the case. He wants to go home. He wants the 40s. He wants Peggy. He wanted Bucky. He wants a family and a life. It hints that sometimes he may feel he doesn’t deserve it, or that the time for that has passed.

He didn't leave Bucky behind, Bucky knew full well what was happening and didn't seem too bothered. He knew and was happy that Steve had this chance. He loves him and wouldn't keep him from that. More than likely Bucky sees a future for himself as well, just not in the 40s. Bucky could have went back with him if he wanted to. But he didn't. Sam even offers to go back with Steve, Bucky standing right there and Steve says it's okay. Bucky doesn't protest. Bucky is smiling. Plus we don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Steve would have still fought here and there, maybe he did help that timeline/universe Bucky. He did still have the shield with him. Or maybe he was a house husband/dad while Peggy worked. Whatever he did he was clearly happy and content with all his choices and no one protested.

I actually really love this ending for Steve. He finally gets to rest. He finally gets the woman he loves. He can be content knowing the world is safe and that there are others willing to protect it. From the skinny, sick, kid who was always searching for a fight and felt he was (or had to be) alone in the world. He found a family, his love, a life.

TONY STARK / IRON MAN

I really love that for the scene in the 70s they used James D’Arcy to play Edwin Jarvis. He played Jarvis in the Agent Carter show, and I think most people who watch any of the shows know that the shows are payed dirt in the MCU movies. So as someone who loved that show, loved the characters and actors, seeing that was great! It intertwines the show more closely to the films, and it was nice for Tony to see the other man who raised him even for a second. Yeah it would’ve been nice to see Paul Bettany, but I feel he is more connected to J.A.R.V.I.S Tony’s A.I rather than the actual person of Jarvis.

I love that Tony gets a reunion/closure with his father (similar to Thor’s with his mother). Before his own untimely death, he gets to talk with his father and really see things through his eyes and learn what his mind set truly was. Now that he’s a father himself he understands a bit more the struggles Howard had, he knows Howards own self doubts. That despite everything Howard cared, and that Howard’s own father was cruel to him. And they get to share that last hug and is able to thank him! Just like he wanted to in Civil War. He gets to say I love you, and thank you for everything.

Peter says he “got all dusty. Then [he] must’ve passed out”. So like...no time passed for those who got dusted in the snap...

I was sorta hoping Tony would wield Mjolnir as well, but he didn’t :/ but it’s fine. He doesn’t need it. He wields the Gauntlet/Infinity Stones.

Something Kevin Smith brought up that I hadn’t really thought of was that Tony was completely set. While he definitely had regrets and felt guilty, he had a good life in front of him. He 100% could have just lived the rest of his natural born days out with his family and been as happy as he could have been. But seeing that picture of Peter, and knowing all that was lost, feeling guilty, and just being the self-sacrificial man he is, risked it all for everyone else. Knowing it could go wrong, he still did it.

Tony’s scene towards the beginning was the first time I almost cried. After he gets rescued, and they are talking in the compound. He is so skinny and in a wheelchair and hooked up to the IV. Cap starts talking, like he always does, and Tony just is not here for it. This is exactly what he said was going to happen, this was the culmination of all the PTSD and anxiety he has had for 8 years. It happened, he was right. No one wanted to listen to him. People gave him so much shit for Ultron and the Accords and literally everything that he has ever done, and this happens and he (pardon my language) snapped on Steve. It was heartbreaking. Because he tried so hard to prevent it. Steve told him they would lose together but he was alone. He watched the kid he cared about disappear in his arms, had no idea who else he cared about who could’ve done the same, and he was alone in space (well Nebula was there, but..he didn’t know her really, they were forced to get to know each other. Remember she showed up when they were already battling Thanos). He was suffering, believing he was going to die. No oxygen, no food, no water…and when he gets back Steve just wants to jump back in, and get information out of him? No. He has had enough. Steve lied. Sure maybe he didn’t mean to, but he said they would work together and then Civil War happened. He made a decision in that movie to be on the opposite side of Tony. I’m not saying that Steve wasn’t justified in his actions in Age of Ultron, or Civil War or anything after, but just that from Tony’s perspective, Steve was continuously putting other people and things in front of him. He probably thought that Steve would make an effort if they were truly friends, and if he truly cared Steve would’ve done more to salvage their friendship but didn’t. I have a whole thing with Steve and how he acted but I just know Tony was hurt, and one person he thought he could turn to, wasn’t there. And the line he closes out his rant with? “No trust, liar.” That hit like a ton of bricks.

When Tony asks Dr.Strange if this was the one they won, Strange says he can’t tell him or it won’t happen. But later Tony looks at him and holds up one finger, telling him this is the one. He told him because he knows that Tony already knows and has come to terms with what has to happen. Tony knows he has to get the stones and Snap Thanos away, knowing that it could kill him. So Dr.Strange just affirmed it for him. If he would’ve told him earlier, than Tony might’ve thought of a different plan, or thought he could make it out, maybe he would’ve gotten excited and cocky. That also means that from the moment Strange looked into the future in IW he knew Tony was going to die. Yeah he knew Thanos needed the time stone because the Snap needed to happen in the first place for them to reverse it, but he also knew Tony was going to make this sacrifice, and couldn’t die just yet. I always thought that Tony was the key after Infinity War, but now it explains why Dr. Strange’s demeanor changes after that.

I almost cried a lot during this film but I actually cried during Tony’s death and funeral scene. Bookending the entire saga with “I am Iron Man”. How Rhodey goes up to him, then Peter (Tom Holland never fails to make me cry when he’s playing Peter), mirroring the last moments in Infinity War, “We won. We did it Mr.Stark”. Then Pepper goes up to him, and has to look at him and he seems almost...catatonic. He isn’t responding, just staring at each of them. Pepper has to watch her love, her husband, the father of her child, die. But she still reassures and comforts him, telling him he can rest now… and i’m about to cry just writing this omg… Then the light of the arc reactor blinks out and you know for real that he’s gone. Tony leaves a message for them knowing his fate, book ending the film from the message he was leaving at the beginning of the movie, to the message he’s leaving for them now. He loves Morgan 3000. Just knowing over the years, Morgan and Pepper will go back and watch this message. Morgan will grow up knowing her father saved the universe with his own hands. They will probably have suits and old tech around that she will be able to look at and play with and tinker with (because you cannot convince me Tony Stark’s daughter won’t be as much of a tinkerer as him). The “Proof Tony Stark Has A Heart” display is sent adrift in the lake outside their home, Little Morgan sitting with her mom. And every person who Tony has come to know and love is watching. Millions more probably mourning all over the world (and in our universe as well). Tony started as an arrogant, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, rich kid with more brains then he could handle, and become the self sacrificial saviour of the universe. He’s been through the worst things, kidnapped, tortured, betrayed, watched people die in front of his eyes, get hurt because of him, etc. But always was looking for a way to make things better for everyone else. He is 100% the heart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert Downey Jr. is the heart of the MCU. Him and Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige took a chance on a movie that was guaranteed to do the best in 2008, improvised through a film with little to no script and built an empire. Robert is Tony Stark in sooo many ways other than both having rich and famous dads. Tortured, and regretful pasts that they rose above. I cannot sing the praises of this character or this man more. So I will end it here. It will sad to go forward without the character, but we really won’t be. Tony and Robert are cemented in every Marvel film and every film to come.

Thank you to all the creators, crew, directors, writers and actors. Robert Downey Jr., Kevin Feige, Jon Favreau, Stan Lee, Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, etc. <3 Thank you!

💕 crush stories p4 💕

My relationship with my crush is a little complicated lol she's the softes bean ever and has a lot of problems she doesn't wants to talk about and I'm the only one who's there for her but last year everything just went down because i needed a friend to be there for me but she treated me like shit so i turned to another friend and we started dating. While i was in this relationship my crush got a boyfriend (who treats her like shit) After 6 month of dating my gf me and my crush became best friends again and i spent a lot of time with her. I broke up with my gf last week because i had to realise we only dated because we were both lonely. Now I'm back at pining over the smallest cutest girl in the whole world while i have to take care of her or she would probably die dnkdks i actually got her to watch httyd with me as her bf was being an ass and she loved it even tho she usuall hates animation movies lol

you’re right this is complicated lmao so she’s still with her bf ??? even though she’s cute and has her own problems you don’t deserve to be treated like shit so i hope you cleared up whatever that was,,, i suggest you take a little time to enjoy being single before you start thinking about dating this crush now because i’ve seen people date for the sake of not being lonely and it usually isn’t good in the long term but good luck!! and i don’t know how bad her bf is but she should dump him

He's not texting since 3 days ago (our first date)... I think i don't like him any more 💔😭 we've been friends for 5 years...

:’( either he treats you better or you drop him bc you deserve better than that ♡

I think im a little strange, there's a guy that i like(a lot) he is really cool, funny and smart, but i think he is gay. Rather than i'm being sad or something alike, i ship him with his friend, but i still liking him. I'm getting crazy :')

ohhhh does he actually like his friend though or do you just ship them because you think he’s gay ?

aaa, so i've liked this guy for almost 3 months and i did the Thing where i told him (which never happens, because i'm usually way too shy and i tend to want to tamp my feelings back to nothing). that night, we spent hrs walking blocks and blocks and he told me he doesn't like anyone atm, which i understood 100%. after that, it really wasn't bad and we actually hung out at a lookout point for a few more hrs into the morning before he took me home. he's the first person in a while that made me feel so nervous, excited, fluttery, good about myself in a long time. i think (i hope) that i'll be over him soon - at the end of it all, he's still a good friend. the butterflies haven't left yet though - my lil heart won't stop hoping and he's not gonna stop being cute and gosh darn attractive and lovely anytime soon 😫 (ty for letting me rant through this! you're one of my favorite blogs 💝)

THIS IS SO CUTE ahh im glad you went for it!! even though he told you he didn’t like anybody it’s better that you know and don’t spend all this time being hung up on him and wondering about What Ifs so i’m happy for you ♡ he sounds like such a nice friend though so i’m glad you have a person like him in your life and hope that you get over him asap (and thank you !! you’re so sweet 💖)

My crush is an asshole who played push and pull with me for 3 years and recently decided to declare that he likes me, but he's still not sure about us. He said, i quote: 'what if i ask you out and then change my mind' . So we're at square one again😂 he is such an attractive guy, i can't give up on him😭

NO no matter how cute he is you should get rid of him omg what an asshole-ish thing to say,,, trust me even if it’s hard at first you’ll be way happier when you’re over him !! he doesn’t deserve you!!!! ♡

My crush is actually in Korea for the summer (no lie, he's an exchange student at my school). He's so adorable and sweet, but we almost never talk or hang out, and whenever we do I'm always the one to initiate :c Just trying to be optimistic and open about everything rn :s

optimism is good!! hopefully it isn’t because he isn’t interested or already has someone but i guess the best way to find out is always to hint at it or outright ask about his love life ??

Does it count if my crush and I recently married? lol because even though he is my husband not a day goes by that my heart does not flutter with something he does. Wether it be hugging, hand holding or even a smile directed my way, I still get butterflies like crazy. He is the most kind caring and thoughtful person I have had the pleasure of meeting. He is silly and loves laughing. He has the most beautiful eyes and smile I have ever seen. But maybe I'm just being biased lol I love my crush 💜

AWWW CONGRATS ON YOUR MARRIAGE this is so nice ✨✨✨ i love this n hope you’re happy together for As Long As You Both Shall Live

The last time I had an actual full blown crush on someone it was in seventh grade and Jesus Christ let me tell you I was so dramatic over it?? The dude's initials are M.J and I once burst into tears cause I saw the letters on my tv once and we had these letter stickers back then so I put M and J together next to the Pc and whenever someone asked about it I was like it's Michael scofield bc that was back when prison break was ongoing. God I cringe so much now when I look back at it lmaoooo

you burst into tears when you saw his initials fjngjnfjgfn

Okay so my crush is a girl and omfg, she's so pretty?? Her hair falls just above her shoulders and she has brown hair & brown eyes and I take most of my classes with her, but we have the most fun in German, Economics & Managment and Organisation. So she has a lot of... character (idk lol). She is hella stubborn and takes shit from no one but so do I so we banter and insult each other A LOT, but it's always playful so we never feel insulted. But the thing is that i'm a girl too And I didn't even know I liked girls too until I met her lol (so now i'm a closet bi girl). But the thing that gives me hope is that we low key flirt? We send each other snaps stating how much we love each other and always call each other bae/babe etc. I know girl friends do this but it's different I don't even act that way with my best friend and neither is she? And she once confessed to me that she kissed a girl when she was really drunk, but didn't feel anything with it And once we were hanging out with friends, she was drunk and this guy was lying on top of her (a friend who gets real touchy when drunk, but it was all good no harassment of some sorts) she like kept calling me to help, nothing real big. But she also got jealous once when I send a snapchat to her best friend (she was with her @ the time) & she was like why didn't you snap me? So i'm really confused and idk if she likes me too? Sorry for the ramble :(

i relate to this so much lmao i found out i was bi through my first gf too so this all sounds AWFULLY familiar,, i’ll just say if you joke about being in a r/s all the time it’s a sign that you should level it up to a real one but from what you’re telling me i have a good feeling about this!! i hope she really is into you and that you end up dating ❤ (and that you keep me updated whoops)

so im in marching band and there's this one guy in color guard who's really good and the way he can move his body is just like impossible to look away from? and he's really attractive like the other day he was wearing a shirt that had kind of a low neckline and his collarbone was really prominent and i just ahhh??? im not sure if he knows i exist but he's just really attractive help

I LOVE IT I HOPE HE NOTICES YOU AND IT’S LOVE @ FIRST SIGHT

im crushing on this guy for over 3 years. he is a meanie but i like him a lot :') this past week he confessed and said he liked me. but he is not sure if he wants a relationship. we even went out on something like a date :D im very confused rn ahahaha

you need to be clear with this kind of stuff in a r/s so just ask him!! trust your gut though, no matter how much you like him i think that if you don’t think you’ll be happy dating him then just don’t do it :’( ♡

Hey it's the anon that may or may not be gay who has a crush on the girl named Ramona. So.... I think I fucked up. A few friends of mine threw this huge party this weekend and I made sure to tell Ramona so she'd go (I mean goody2shoes at a party come on how cute is that?) So about an hour or 2 into the party she shows up with some friends and I hang around her most of the night, and when I'm not WITH her I made sure I knew where she was. See the part where I messed up is that Im not the best with alcohol... And I drank a bit much. Now I remember kissing Ramona. And that's it. However according to some friends I kissed her she slapped me I pushed her... into the pool and she left crying. Now its Monday and she wont look me in the eye (it's lunch rn and English is next) what do I do?!? I'm an obvious drunk asshole, BUT THATS THE THING! I was DRUNK! I mean I wanna apologize but I can't even get close to her with her friends there

NOOOOO oh my god you really did fuck up ;; can’t you text her asking if you guys can talk ?? tell a friend what happened and hope she’ll understand and let you explain?? honestly i have no idea but i hope you sort it out and let her know how sorry you are but also don’t beat yourself up too much!! accidents happen even if they are bad, it’s ok in the end as long as you apologise,,,,, good luck ♡ and don’t drink around her again ;;

#ask game #these are the last ones i have rn lmao #u can send more if u want !! and bc i love reading them but ill just publish now #unless it's a follow up then u Have To tell me what's going on #also disclaimer i have No idea what im talking abt so u can ignore me kfnjdknfj

infinity war thoughts

spoilerspoilerspoilers

a absolute mess of my random thoughts and feelings about the movie in no actual order. SO MANY SPOILERS DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DO NOT WANT IT TO BE SPOILED! IT IS UNDER A CUT!

Quick Summary:

- They wanted me to die with Pete, huh?

-It honestly hit all the boxes for me. Emotion, Humour, and Spectacle. It was a fun, absolutely excruciatingly painful, exciting movie. Whether or not it was technically good I could care less, at least right now. and I’ve only seen it once so far so I’m not quite thinking of any plotholes rn.

-(Like Mark Ruffalo) I crired/nearly cried 3 times. #1, the logo. (Yeah, it happened to me with Fantastic Beasts as well.) #2, Gamora...and #3 Peter. We will dive into those later

- RED SKULL! Like yooo.. i was like sweet dementor, and then it was oh,, its gonna be someone. who is it gonna be?! and then you saw that face and YES! I love when things come full circle. And I remember the theories from when Cap TFA came out, people saying no he can’t actually be dead, he has to be blank. Or he’s probably blank. etc. But sidenote, was that actually Hugo Weaving? maybe i was just seeing/hearing wrong but he felt a little off. And I remember Hugo saying he maybe wouldn’t want to come back. i dunno. but it was great. Especially with this movie that is just bringing everything back round.

-lemme just say that i called Loki being the major character to die in the first five minutes (i did not expect Heimdall tho RIPinpeace) but also so did everyone else online... BUT I don’t think he is completely gone... this could be just hopeful musings, but I don’t think he is dead forever. Not like what will happen with others ( maybe something like some time travel to resurrect) but like the trickster he is, I think he did something along the lines of the end of The Dark World again. When Thanos is killing him, he kinda starts turning blue, but he never goes back to his Jotun form completely. If he was truly really dead, don’t you think all of his illusions would be gone, including the one to make him look like Tom Hiddleston? Also his words before he dies “You will never be a god.” “The sun will shine upon us again, brother.” those are hella great last words, but with Loki there could always be a hidden meaning and some type of snark. Also I am not okay with Thor’s last words to Loki being “You really are the worst brother.” With that being said... I won’t be mad if this is the last we see of Loki. Like I said great last words, and between this small part and Ragnarok, Loki has definitely come around. Maybe he didn’t get to completely make amends, and could probably never after New York. But he has gained the trust and love, and redemption in the eyes of his Brother (also he calls himself Odinson, like FINALLY feels apart of the family completely) and thats all that matters. Great Story Arc and Character Development my guy. (speaking of character development “We have a Hulk.” YOOOOOOO!!!)

-Loki having to watch Thanos torture Thor, and then Thor having to watch Thanos kill Loki c: fun.

-I’m thinking the people who were physically killed like Heimdall, Gamora, Loki, and Vision, are the best contenders for the permanent deaths. “But they said all deaths will be permanent? and no resurrections this time.”

(mostly because we know there is gonna be a spiderman 2 and black panther 2 so bois can’t be gone)

-I follow Tom Holland on instagram, have since Civil War, and I know of his friend Harrison, who got a cameo! He is on the school bus, a seat or two behind Peter when he first notice’s Ebony Maw’s ship in the sky. I think Harrison also stood in for Tom in Homecoming, so it’s just cool that Tom got a friend a cameo in the movie. Especially a movie so big, and secretive.

-just to get off of sad for a bit, lets talk about some of the great new interactions/team ups. Even the ones that were basically just one-liners were absolutely amazing. Thor with Rocket (and Groot). Thor with Quill. Dr.Strange and Tony. (Tony with Wong, “Wong, you’re invited to the wedding.”) Dr.Strange and Quill. Bucky and Rocket (We all knew it was going to happen but...amazing. ). Okoye Nat Wanda!! GROOT WITH CAP! “I am groot.” “I am steve rogers.” We barely got any Bucky and Steve which I think is kinda a good thing, it would’ve taken up a lot of time, and there was too much to get to in this one, but I bet you there is at least one deleted scene...there has to be. It’s also kinda good for the story and Cap’s arc. Like boi lost his best friend AGAIN, and this time he saw it. 100%. He isn’t in a ravine, or anything. He turned into dust right in front of his eyes. It’s kinda hard to come back from that. So he has even more motivation to kill that kaiju grape ape now. The smallest bruceNat nod. It was a nice way of the Russo brothers to allow the fans who would’ve had an absolute fit to not see any more of it, while still acknowledging that it is a canon thing. Because it would’ve been bad to just throw it away/ignore it because it did happen, and some people need to accept it.

-No one’s characterization was thrown away!! I know that was a concern for a lot of people, that after all that Ragnarok did for Thor and Banner, Vol.2 for the guardians, etc. that some traits would be thrown away in order to keep a more stereotypical, palatable characters, or vibe to the entire film but nahhh. The Russo brothers worked with Ryan Coogler, James Gunn, Taika Watiti, and were like, who are these characters now? And stuck to it. No petty Rian Johnson stuff here folks.

-If yall needed any more reminders that Tony has extreme anxiety and PTSD, all BECAUSE OF THANOS, (mostly because of Thanos, some definitely comes from when he got kidnapped and his childhood) and now he has come face to face with that. The thing that made him make Ultron, the thing that pushed a wedge between the team.

-okoye looking at bruce in the hulkbuster armor after he tripped...

-also we get to see the hulk fully one (1) time, and as much as I dislike that (especially after seeing him in ragnarok) we got Banner so like, not a win, but a win tho. Also Hulk just wasn’t havin’ it. After what Thanos did, he peaced out. Bruce can deal with this, I’m tired of being the one to get beat up.

-Thor’s confirmed age of something like 1500 or 1050 years. Like what must this be like for him...it’s been what, 6 years for him since he got to earth... give or take...to meet people and grow relationship and the lose them, it must’ve all been so fast for him.

-Drax thinking he could stand so still no one could see him.

-Thinking Thor was going to treat Gamora like Drax did, but instead is like yeah “family is rough.”

-”Is Footloose still the best movie ever made?” “It never was.”

-This kinda wrecked the T.H.A.N.O.S theory...because how would you get H from that... maybe ‘Her’ ? if you really want it to fit...

-Rocket’s funny little “i have a lot to lose” quip that was just funny and then after the movie you think about it again and all of a sudden you’re crying again?

-When Tony got stabbed I really thought that was gonna be the end for him (at least for this movie) and I almost flipped... I also thought that when everyone was disintegrating in the end that Nebula’s human flesh parts where going to turn to ash just leaving the mechanical parts to drop to the floor. and I’m not gonna lie, when Thanos took Gamora and was telling her about how she knows where the Soul Stone is and they show Nebula, there was a yellow/orange light inside of Nebula’s body...i thought it was going to be in Nebula...i don’t know why but... i did for a second. I had a lot of theories and thoughts before and during that were incorrect to say the least... I also thought during the end credits that there was some glimmer of it saying that it was sending to COULSON but...alas...no dice.

-GROOT SEEING THOR STRUGGLING ON THE GROUND IN THE FORGE AND FINALLY LOOKING UP FROM HIS GAME AND REALIZING HE CAN DO SOMETHING AND OMG!!

-They almost got the gauntlet off of Barney’s wrist but then Peter just had to know what happened with Gamora... however I bear no ill will towards him... beause like...Obviously they had their deal, but I can’t help but think that maybe he thought that...at least she won’t die this way. Maybe I’ll get to see her again. Maybe we can do this and she will be back. Only to find out naw. Grimace just killed her himself. And like Peter said to Thor, how long is this after he found out that his dad killed his mom? and had his father figure die, and had to kill his own father? mans been going through a lot so yeah...i can understand not being entirely clear headed and calm right now.

-I know some of yall are gonna trip, or currently are tripping over this but to me it was an A1 decision. To make Thanos sympathetic. No, before anyone says anything I do not condone Thanos’ actions, or agree with him, but he is an amazing villain for the sheer fact that, he has motives outside of being evil man, and you see a side of him that isn’t arrogant or evil. In the same vein as Killmonger. You can, potentially, understand why. Especially because it is the same goal as Tony, Save Humanity/The Universe/Whatever. Create a better world. However unlike Ultron for example, there is drive to it. He has a backstory. He was hurt, people he grew up with and knew were killed. His home torn apart. And he wants to prevent that from happening to others/again...by doing it himself. Like... you ever read a story and think about how you would rewrite it? It still has to have those essential elements that make the story that story, but it could just be done better? Thats Thanos. He sees there is a plan out there, that certain things are gonna end up a certain way at some point, and he decides to just take the wheel on it, and do it how he wants to, and to benefit himself and his lineage (he does say that he wanted Gamora to sit on his throne.) Also, he actually truly cares for Gamora. It’s not a trick, it’s not just for his benefit, he truly loves her. And I think that is something that may get overlooked, (by fans at least) hopefully not though. Because it is a HUGE part of this story. He cares enough about her for her to be the thing he sees when he kinda gets knocked out (?) and when that vision of young gamora asks him what it cost for him to achieve his goal, he looks at her and says everything. Gamora (and possibly his other children as well. But Gamora was specifically mentioned as his favorite daughter before) was his everything. Mantis even says that Thanos was in extreme emotional pain, traumatized and in mourning, after what he did to Gamora. It is 100% a fact that Thanos loved Gamora as his daughter. And like I see people saying oh it was too rushed and out of nowhere to make me feel anything, and thats fine. However for me, I felt that in the MCU, we never actually got to know him enough, that accepting the fact that he cared about Gamora, was plausible. Yeah we knew his reputation from people’s accounts of him and like..the three or so times we saw him he was big scary grape ape trying to kill people, but we never got to know him beyond that. If you expected him to be a one sided, flat character then I get why you might be unimpressed with his characterization here, it does seem out of nowhere. But if you watched the movies, thinking there was more to him, then I think you probably enjoyed his character here.

-”this is the only way.” nor gonna lie, not a huge doc strange man myself, and him giving the time stone to Thanos kinda irked me (even if the animation, plucking it out of the sky was actually amazing, similar to the hand thing in Suicide Squad with Enchantress/June Moone) because it is the stone that helps him get the mind stone, and if he hadn’t had that, he wouldn’t have been able to get Vision back, but then its like...oh yeah he saw basically every outcome. He knows. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY. I have to believe that he gave Thanos the time stone because he knows that thats what leads the survivors to victory (and we know the time stone in particular is gonna play a big role because of the time travel in A4) and he did it, in exchange for Tony’s life because Tony is part of that outcome, Tony has to be alive if earth, if the universe stands a chance. and I think this leads into the fact that in the Infinity Gauntlet run in the comics, Thanos does possess all the stones/gems, and NEBULA steals the gauntlet and undoes everything Thanos did. So I’m not saying that thats exactly whats going to happen, but I’m also not saying that it’s not a coincidence that Nebula is still alive and Thanos has a completed gauntlet...kind of....i feel like I remember it being smashed up after Thanos snaps...am I remembering wrong?

-I feel like the idea of “end game” comes up a lot.... A lot of people say it when referring to this (tony says it in Age of Ultron). I mean there is at least 3 separate times when someone refers to the end game. I don’t know why that stood out to me but it did :/

-Peter Dinklage <3 Also, “You’re going to be killed.” “Only if I die!” “yeah...thats what getting killed means.”

-Nebula <3

-the stan lee cameo OF COURSE <3 “you act like you’ve never seen a spaceship before!”

-pepper and tony finally officially engaged c:

-Whats Thanos’ thing with bubbles??

-MY GIRL MANTIS WAS UNBELIEVABLY PRICELESS DURING THAT FIGHT WITH THANOS ON TITAN!!! Like everyone worked together and used their skills, which are perfectly highlighted and complimented in that scene, A+, it was beautiful. Teamwork! but Mantis just stood out to me. Thanos could’ve took two fingers and threw her halfway across the world (probably more honestly) and girl sits on his shoulders and pushes her powers as far as they can go to subdue him enough to nearly get the gauntlet off. Without her, it would’ve been 100x harder, if not just downright impossible for them to do what they did.

-Steve says Tony is the Earth’s BEST defender (meanwhile...

When I cried:

-The logo. Specifically kinda, when the Marvel Studios changed to Marvel Stud10s. Like memories of the first Iron Man, first Avengers, and all my favorite moments from the entire MCU just kinda hit. Like the realization that the MCU has been my life for so long. Like... It was a lot.

-Gamora....The fiercest/deadliest woman in the galaxy, Gamora leads herself to her death. Like having Peter kill her would’ve been sad but...that. Also, the bit when Peter is going to kill her heavily mirrors Vision and Wanda later on. Vision/Gamora has Wanda/Peter agree to kill them if Thanos gets them. Because they believe their life is nothing, a small sacrifice, compared to half the universe. They obviously don’t want to because they love each other. They state that to the person, letting their love be proclaimed officially on screen with the words “i love you” for the first time, before doing what is needed. Both times is heart wrenching and tearful, but ultimately meaningless in a way. Because both times Thanos undoes it. Thanos makes the bubbles out of Peter’s gun, and turns back time to bring back Vision/Mind Stone. Then, he gets to do it himself. He hurls Gamora off the cliff and pulls the mindstone from Vision’s head. Both times someone is forced to kill the one person they truly love (in a romantic sense) only to watch them die again/know they died in a crueler way. Issa lot.

-Back to Gamora’s death... Gamora thinks that Thanos is finally trumped. She is laughing in his face. This is what she has wanted her entire life. To see him fail, especially because of himself. Because of the person he is. To have the confirmation that she has something he never will (think harry potter and voldemort “you’ll never know love, or friendship” something Gamora has only recently acquired for herself in the past 4 or so years.) To think she was only a pawn in his game. That his grooming was for his own benefit. But then he turns around...and those tears are streaming down his cheeks, and she realizes...no...He did care about her truly. He did love her fully. he did see great things in her (his idea of great anyway) Enough for her life to be the only thing that could possibly be in the way of him and his goal. she just shakes her head. Tries to KILL HERSELF! But he pulls her away (in a scene that somewhat mimics when he first took her off her home planet, to me it is similar) and pushes her off that cliff. and she falls looking up at him and I can’t imagine what is going through her mind... maybe thinking that she was the key. If she was a little smarter, or a little stronger, or a little this or that, maybe she could have stopped all of this. That she walked herself right to her (and her loved ones) own death. Just blaming it all on herself....

-Peter...when i tell you I was motionless, except for being tense and shaky... that one hit me hard for soooo many reasons. Let’s just recap the scene so ya’ll can truly suffer with me. Peter watches Dr. Strange, Mantis, Drax, and Peter Quill disintegrate, and he is scared, and he looks to Tony... “I don’t feel so good...” and he slowly starts to go too. “I don’t know whats happening.” He just LATCHES onto Tony “I don’t want to go. please I don’t want to go...” over and over until he is gone, but not before saying “i’m sorry.”...that broke my heart into a million pieces, made me so scared... it got in deep.The absolute fear. this is a teenage boy, who was just hours earlier on a school bus with his friend, and now he is staring death in the face. The only solace I can think of was that he was there with his only father figure, the guy who put his faith in Peter, and protected him as much as he can, but this...this was out of tony’s control... Let’s jump back to homecoming and Tony’s line.. “and if you die..I feel like thats on me.” Tony has wanted to support Peter, a bright, talented, (funny), young man and allow him to discover and become the man he can be, a better man than Tony himself, gave him a suit, and monitored him so he could do that as safe as possible (well as safe as you possibly can be in this universe) and tried to be as on deck as a man as busy as Tony can be, what does he ultimately get? That kid dying in his arms. THE ASH OF THAT KID ON HIS HANDS. His death is literally on Tony’s hands. The thing he feared the most. That he was going to be the cause of the deaths of the people closest to him. No choice felt right, but he continued to make them because its all on him. And this is what he gets...Tony who was earlier talking with Pepper about having kids. Excitedly and Happily might I add. Now having the closest thing he had to a son, die in his arms. And it’s no accident that Peter’s disintegration takes the longest. Compared to everyone elses (at least to me) Peter’s felt like hours.

-The disintegration...basically everyone dies in front of someone who cares about them in a way. T’Challa while reaching out to Okoye. Bucky while walking up to Steve. Groot looking over at Rocket. Maria in front of Nick. Peter and Drax watch Mantis, Then Peter watches Drax, and then Peter by himself (Nebula also watches all of them, though I’m unsure how much she cares for them). Peter Parker in Tony’s arms. Doctor Strange with Tony after Strange saved his life. Sam while Rhodey is calling his name. Wanda holding Vision’s dead body, looking up (to the heavens, maybe happy/relieved about it, she gets to be with him or there is no life without him so why not, i don’t know her belief system). And it’s not limited to the disintegrations. Wanda watches Vision die (twice, once by her own hands), Thanos watches Gamora fall (but he pushed her...so like...dont do that maybe), Thor has to watch Hemidall and Loki get killed. Even Corvus Glaive has to live longer than Proxima Midnight (his wife, at least in the comics...and I think he was the last of the Black Order to die, so while he may not have directly saw, all of his (adoptive) brothers and sisters died before him he had to carry that weight) So in summation for all the surviving characters (or even character that managed to just outlive another):

-List of things I’m scared/excited of for the next movie: Everyone coming back together and informing each other of the lives lost (Rocket finding out all the other Guardians are gone (except Nebula I guess), M’Baku and the remaining members of Wakanda learning about T’Challa, Tony finding out about literally everyone), If they decide to show it, the awkward or supporting relationship Nebula and Tony are gonna have to make because they are trapped on Titan together and she is probably gonna be the one to bring him back to Earth. Tony and Steve’s presumably first confrontation and talk since Civil War. How Scott is going to be dragged in this. I kinda doubt it, but government interference hindering a battle is a possibility, after Sam just shut Ross down, I could see them busting in at a bad time. Time Travel. (Please let rhodey go back in time so don cheadle can be face to face with himself that is actually Terrence Howard)

-List of some characters that I need a status report on: Aunt May, Ned, Michelle, Pepper, Happy, Korg, Miek, Jane Foster, Valkyrie, Shuri, (miles morales...), Kraglin, Scott Lang, Wong, Sharon Carter, (the agents of shield...the defenders...) John C. Reilly's character from Guardians (I know Xandar is already decimated...but maybe?) The grandmaster. like Thanos supposedly wiped out HALF OF THE UNIVERSE with that snap...some of them are gone. (i don’t care about clint tbh, but i do care about Linda Cardellini)

-List of things the movie was missing: Shuri and Peter. Some kind of scene with Uncle Ben played by Tobey Maguire (okay maybe not in this movie, but I’ll hold out hope for spidey 2), Deadpool/SHIELD/Defenders cameo (i’ll wait). An after credit scene mirroring the Shawarma scene, but with Okoye and some others in a Starbucks, maybe the next movie...

-The movie itself: From the second the movie ended I knew the types of criticism that the movie was going to get from critics, causal and hardcore fans, etc. It was too fast, too stuffed, characterization didn’t make sense, the ending was unsatisfying, there was no point in this one when we know everyone is going to come back in the next one, etc. But like... and I can only speak for myself here, but, as someone who has had marvel as a part of their life, their entire life, it was amazing. There is the usual fact of just seeing these characters brought to life is fascinating. And having watched every MCU movie, and the shows, and one shots, you’ve seen how this story has been weaved together and yeah there were definitely missteps along the way, and mistakes and plotholes (this is a huge undertaking, with SOOO many different people working on it, that stuff is going to happen) but it is so satisfying to see an easter egg or line from Iron Man or The Avengers, whatever, come to fruition. I think it is important to remember that while it may be fun as a standalone film, that is NOT it’s true place or status. It is meant to be a culmination of years of hardworking and passion and dedication. It is truly a film for the fans. A thank you of sorts. Of course anyone could walk into the theater and have fun with it for a few hours, but it’s true nature is a part of this universe. It is not one movie, there is another part coming out next year (apparently). Seeing this and saying that it was bad because it doesn’t work perfectly as a solo film is like opening to a random page of the fourth harry potter book, and reading a handful of pages. Maybe you’ve opened onto an exciting scene, and it’s enjoyable to read for a bit, but thats not the whole experience, not the whole story. Also remember, the movie isn’t bad just because your favorite character died.
