● My Story with Wanda ��

When you're a relatively young girl, who doesn't know if you're Bi, or just thinking girls are pretty, until you sit down in a movie theatre ready to watch Avengers, Age of Ultron. Suddenly Wanda Maximoff comes on screen.

Yeah no yeah. I'm Bi.

Wanda Maximoff, with her wiggly woo magic hands, tragic back story, and(at the time) dark hair, started the movie an antagonist, on the side of the villain? Oh yes, there was red confusing magic that basically hit me in the face like "Come on, you're Bi. Just realize it already."

But just because Wanda helped me truly figure out this vital part of myself, does not mean I was immediately comfortable with it. Because, to be honest, I wasn't. All the adults in my family were highly homophobic, with many continuing to he so highly.

I was on my late teens/early adulthood, previously only thinking that it was just thinking that girls were pretty, that they looked good. I didn't think it went any deeper than that. So it was a mental adjustment for me, something to get used to.

But as Wanda continued to appear in more films, the more her journey with herself and how others see her, is how I felt connected with her through the self revalation I made through her. Civil War was when she would begin to feel comfortable with her powers. She was also just getting out on her own, able to explore the world. Though still just a little unsure.

I, after Age of Ultron came out, well my entire life, I've been, well I've been afraid of social situations. Afraid of how my family sees me without the question of my sexuality involved. I'm getting used to it myself, but it's the fact that fear of the others in my life will react so negatively that keeps me from being open, coming out.

Like Wabda with her magic. She is slowly growing more comfortable with it, but after the Avengers are confronted with the Sokovia Accords, shortly after the guy with the bomb blew up when Wanda couldn't get him in the sky fast enough.

We can see there is a part of Wanda that carries guilt. For the above incident, possibly even her brothers death as they had helped Ultron significantly. As she had helped Ultron significantly.

Where we left Wanda at the end of WandaVision though, was where she came into her own, fully owning who she is. Yes there is still pain, and loss. She still suffers. She is still wary of her magic.

She will not hold back if it is needed to protect those she loves. She will not back down from what she is. From who she is, even with that lingering fear, hesitation, nervousness. She has accepted herself for who she is, even if others won't.

This too, is where I am starting to find myself. In a truly accepting place. I have started to tell more people, start to become more open. I still am not out to my family, as I fear their reactions. But I am growing more comfortable, more confident. I'm not fully there yet, but I'm getting there.

I have not watched

Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness

yet, just wanted to mention that.

But, I do want to say, Wanda Maximoff could be the saviour of the whole multiverse, or the one who obliterates, literally the entire thing, and while I may disagree with the latter, I will still stand by her.

She is such a crucially important character to me. She has helped me in ways that her character wasn't intended to help, but she has.
